Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 188

Zhong Ruyi didn't even raise her head. Sun Tao quickly drank the glass of water in a daze. "Sister-in-law, please pour me another glass."

Liu Yu Niang wanted to take it, but Zhong Ruyi could only say, "Second sister-in-law, please go out first. It's not convenient for you now. Be careful not to pass on the disease to you."

Li Guihua also advised, "Yes, sister-in-law, you still have to be careful, you are pregnant."

Under the persuasion of the two, Liu Yu Niang had no choice but to go out and wait.

Cuicui leaned against the door and asked, "Second Aunt, where is Brother Jiang Qin?"

"He went to ask the doctor to come back to see his mother." Liu Yu Niang held her belly with one hand and walked away holding Cuicui's hand with the other.

While no one was in the room, Zhong Ruyi broke off a piece of antipyretic medicine and gave it to Sun Tao to eat.

Perhaps because it was a little bitter without the sugar coating, Sun Tao put it into her mouth in a daze and wanted to spit it out. However, Zhong Ruyi covered her mouth, lifted her chin, and forced her to eat it.

Jiang Qin quickly called a doctor. The old man came in tremblingly, carrying a medicine box on his back and supported by Jiang Qin.

After the old doctor took her pulse and prescribed medicine, he said to Zhong Ruyi, "She must have been malnourished due to poor food during this period, and she was upset. After she relaxed, the evil spirit entered her body. She will be cured after taking these two doses of medicine. In the future, make sure to keep up with your three meals a day diet."

Zhong Ruyi nodded as she listened, paid the medical fee, and asked Jiang Qin to send the old doctor out.

After Jiang Qin sent the old doctor back, Zhong Ruyi gave Jiang Qin the medicine the old doctor had just prescribed, "Here, you heard what the doctor just said, boil the medicine and give it to your mother."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhong Ruyi knew what he was going to say. She waved her hand impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense! Just work hard for me in the future."

Only after Jiang Qin was asked to boil the medicine did Zhong Ruyi have time to sit down and rest.

After taking a bowl of medicine, by the evening, Sun Tao was able to get out of bed and walk.

During this period, she sweated a lot due to fever, so Zhong Ruyi and Li Guihua took turns wiping her.

When she woke up and met Liu Guihua's expectant eyes, she thought she was confused due to the fever.

"Wake up, wake up!" Liu Guihua was very happy. She threw the wet wipe in her hand and ran outside.

Soon, Zhong Ruyi and Jiang Qin came in. Seeing her eyes rolling around, they knew that her illness was almost cured.

Liu Yu Niang brought in a bowl of lean meat porridge and said, "Xiao Qin, give this bowl of porridge to your mother."

Jiang Qin quickly took it and fed it to his mother mouthful by mouthful.

Everyone went out, leaving this little space for the mother and son to reminisce about the past.

Jiang Qin only briefly mentioned many things on the way back, but that night, the mother and son told each other clearly what had happened during this period.

Sun Tao wiped her tears and said, "Ms. Zhong is such a good person! I will repay her even if I have to work like a cow or a horse!"

"Ah Qin, you have to work hard for Miss Zhong, okay? Miss Zhong bought us with money, and we will be her servants in the future. We will do whatever she tells us to do! We must repay her for saving our lives!"

Jiang Qin nodded heavily and secretly swore in his heart that he would repay him well.

At night, Zhong Ruyi went to sleep in her third brother's room, and gave her own room to Sun Tao and Jiang Qin.

In order to prevent Sun Tao from having a fever again in the middle of the night, Jiang Qin did not dare to sleep too deeply and got up to check on her from time to time.

It was still dark and Zhong Ruyi was half asleep when she heard some noise outside. She thought someone had gotten up to go to the toilet, so she turned over and fell back asleep.

When she got up again, the quilts and pillows in her room in the yard had been taken out, washed and hung out to dry.

Freshly steamed buns and a few plates of pickles were already placed on the dining table in the main room.

Sun Tao rubbed her hands and said cautiously, "Ms. Zhong, thank you very much for what you did yesterday. If you need anything in the future, just let me know! I have also washed the quilt and pillow in your room. After all, I sweated so much yesterday that it was not good."

Since it had already been washed, Zhong Ruyi had no choice but to say nothing, and she also liked people who loved cleanliness like Sun.

Yesterday, Zhong Ruyi had already told her father about Sun's matter. Upon learning that his daughter had spent another twenty taels to buy someone else, Zhong's father was so worried that he almost went bald.

He pulled Zhong Ruyi over and said, "My girl, do you have any money? You should spend it sparingly. Dad can't save money now, so I can't help you."

Zhong Ruyi smiled and told her father that the Yu family had given her one thousand taels of silver and a store some time ago.

"But I didn't bring the silver and the house deed with me. I left it with my mother for the time being. I will give you some silver as a gift when I come back next time."

Father Zhong narrowed his eyes and waved his hands, "No, no, if you have money, keep it for yourself. Dad can still make money. If things don't work out, there are still your brothers! How can you spend your daughter's money?"

"However, it's best if your parents and you know that you have this 1,000 taels of silver. Don't tell your other brothers and sisters-in-law, okay?"

Zhong Ruyi said honestly, "Dad, that shouldn't be possible. My second brother was also in the store at the time, and Jiang Rong and the others also saw it."

"This..." Father Zhong was a little worried. "Anyway, remember, wealth should not be exposed to others. If your brother and sister-in-law ask you to borrow money, just tell my parents! I will scold them to death!"

The two of them were talking in a low voice, which scared Sun Tao who was standing by, thinking that they were discussing his own affairs, and he became extremely nervous.

Until after breakfast, Miss Zhong didn't say anything, but just asked her to do housework at home and go to town with her later.

Sun Tao was overjoyed. During the few days she stayed at the Zhong family's house, she washed here and wiped there. She was so diligent that even Li Guihua was scared.

Zhong Ruyi waited for two days, but Chen Dongzhi and the others didn't come back, so she had to take Jiang Qin to Chen's house first.

"Aunt, Brother Dongzhi, did you ever tell me that he wanted to sell me a rabbit?"

"No!" Chen's mother looked confused, but upon closer inspection, she seemed a little guilty.

Now Zhong Ruyi was in a dilemma. She didn't know when Chen Dongzhi would come back. Her restaurant would open in a few days, and she couldn't do without the rabbit.

"Well, Auntie, let me talk to you. I have already agreed with Brother Dongzhi that all the rabbits he raises will be sold to me. The price is twenty-five cents per rabbit in the market. I will be provided with at least twenty rabbits every day."

"No, no, Ruyi, why don't you wait until Dongzhi comes back and discuss this with him? I can't make the decision." Mother Chen waved her hand and refused.

In fact, Chen Dongzhi had already told her before he left that if Ruyi came to talk about the rabbit, he would give it to her at the price of ten cents per rabbit.

Chen's mother disagreed, "You and your future daughter-in-law are still collecting money? In my opinion, forget it. We have these rabbits at home. Just let Ruyi take as many as she wants. If not, you can deliver them to her every day."

"She refused, saying that if that was the case, she would find someone else to buy it for her." Chen Dongzhi shook his head. He also thought about not charging the money, but was not agreed.

Zhong Ruyi once said that brothers should settle accounts clearly. Now they haven't even gotten married yet, but she has taken such a big advantage of him. What will she do if they separate in the future?

And even if she agreed, Mr. and Mrs. Zhong would definitely not agree, so the money had to be paid no matter what.
