It was different from usual, and it couldn’t be tolerated!

She only had one son, Zhou Weizhi, and now she only had one grandson, Zhou Ruoyi.

No one could touch Zhou Ruoyi!

“The daughter-in-law knows the mother’s dilemma.” Li Shi said, “If it wasn’t about Yi’er, the daughter-in-law wouldn’t want to make such a fuss with the second and third brothers’ families, making others laugh at our family.”

“It’s just that they dared to harm Yi’er in this matter. I don’t know what they will do in the future. They must be severely punished and lose their reputation so that they know the consequences of doing these things.”

“Mother, I think this time Yier was blessed by heaven, escaping death. From now on, he really shouldn’t stay by my side anymore. Shouldn’t we just divide the Second and Third Families apart?”

The Old Lady thought for a while and nodded. “I originally thought that we would all live in the old house. When outsiders see it, the whole family will be harmonious and it will be the glory of the Zhou family. I never thought…”

“Well, your father has been gone for some years, and this family should have been divided earlier. Let’s take this opportunity to separate it. If they cause any trouble outside in the future, it will have nothing to do with us.”

“Mother, you’re absolutely right. That’s exactly the point.”

Seeing the old lady nod to the division of the family, Li Shi was relieved.

After talking for a while, she saw that the Old Lady was also a little exhausted, so Li Shi sent her back to the yard to rest.

Then she ordered someone to keep an eye on the county government office and finally brought the boiled medicine to Zhou Ruoyi.

Zhou Ruoyi was awake now. Although his face was very bad, he was a little more energetic. He didn’t need Li Shi to feed him personally. He opened his mouth and drank the bowl of soup.

After drinking the medicine, Lian Qiao had already brought the boiled porridge and side dishes to Zhou Ruoyi so that he could take it.

“Madam.”

While Zhou Ruoyi was drinking porridge, Lian Qiao came up to Li Shi and whispered, “Yunzhi Pavilion just sent someone to deliver some lotus seed paste and egg yolk puff pastry and a few other pastries. I saw that they are what Madam likes to eat, so I gave money to accept them.”

“Okay.” Li Shi nodded, “Yier likes to eat yam cakes with jujube paste filling. Remember to save a few more pieces for him to eat when he is better. Pick some of the rest and send them to the Old Lady.”

“By the way, if you have time, go to Yunzhizhai and tell them that if we need any pastries, we will send someone to get them, so there is no need to trouble them to deliver them one by one.”

“Yes.” Lian Qiao agreed and put a few pieces of lotus seed paste and egg yolk puff pastry on the table next to her, “Madam has been busy for so long, and has been worried about Master Yi’s affairs. She must be a little hungry now. Eat two pieces first to fill your stomach. It’s getting late. I’ll go and tell someone to prepare dinner.”

“Go ahead.”

After Lian Qiao left, Li picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth.

The pastry on the outside was extremely crispy, the lotus paste inside was soft and glutinous, and the salted egg yolk was even more fresh and delicious. The whole pastry tasted very delicious.

However, such a delicious and sweet pastry was not sweet enough when eaten.

Li Shi ate and sighed, and only put the remaining half piece back on the plate.

On the other side, the Old Lady returned to her room and leaned on the soft couch to rest.

Zi Su beside her served the things that Lian Qiao had sent over and poured a cup of hot Tremella tea.

The Old Lady took two bites of the Yunpian cake, suppressed it with the Tremella tea, and couldn’t help nodding, “This Yunpian cake has to be the delicious one from Yunzhizhai.”

“Yes.” Zi Su nodded repeatedly. “In the whole of Qinghe County, Yunzhizhai’s pastries are the most delicious. The eldest lady also likes them very much. Yunzhizhai also sends all kinds of pastries every day.”

“This Yunzhizhai knows how to do business.” The old lady nodded.

“Of course it is. This Yunzhizhai is a time-honored brand with a good reputation. Yun Yongnian is young and knows how to deal with people. I heard people outside say that the two people in the Yun family who don’t know how to do business gave birth to Yun Yongnian, a businessman. It is also a blessing from God.”

Yun Yongnian, a business man.

The old lady narrowed her eyes.

——

After Su Yujin went back, she lay down to rest for a while. She stayed at Zhou’s house for half a day. She was busy with medical consultations and found a mastermind. She was really tired now.

Seeing this, Ai Cao and Liu Mama simply turned on the heating in the house and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for Su Yujin when she woke up.

Fresh and tender shrimp stewed with tofu with salted egg yolk, refreshing stir-fried lotus root shreds, crispy fried mushrooms sprinkled with five-spice powder, bright and fragrant braised chicken wings, scallion pancakes as the staple food, and red date rice porridge as the soup.

Su Yujin slept until it was dark before getting up, and had dinner with Ai Cao and Liu Mama. She felt that she had not slept enough, so she went back to sleep.

The next morning, Zeng Dayong came just after she had eaten the fried sugar cakes made by Liu Mama and drank the tofu pudding cooked by Ai Cao.

“Miss, Master said he has something to do, please go over there.”

“Uncle Zheng is really diligent. It’s only been a few days, and he has new dishes to taste?” Su Yujin joked, “Didn’t you just say a few days ago that if you want me to taste the dishes, you have to say that the well has become a spirit? Why didn’t you say that this time?”

Zeng Dayong scratched his head, “This time, it’s not the well that has become a spirit, but the wall that has become a spirit.”

“The wall has become a spirit?” Su Yujin was stunned.

“Yes, the wall has become a spirit, so Master said that if I come to invite you, it’s better to bring a shovel.” Zeng Dayong laughed.

Bring a shovel…

poaching?

When Su Yujin arrived at the kitchen of Huibinlou, Zheng Mingyuan chuckled, “It seems that the boss also values ​​me very much. As soon as he heard about this, he came here immediately. Isn’t it more effective than a well becoming a spirit?”

“Uncle Zheng always likes to tease me.” Su Yujin smiled, “Uncle Zheng, tell me, what’s going on?”

“It means literally.”

Zheng Mingyuan said, “Last night, the guests who had drinks in front were basically all gone, and the shopkeeper Qian from Fuyunlou came and said that the pearl glutinous rice chicken in our restaurant is the most delicious, much better than their fairy chicken. No matter what, he must meet the chef of Huibinlou.”

“Originally, we were in the same industry, and he came to see me. The things here are a little uncertain, but because we are in the same industry, we have to be more cautious in doing things. So the shopkeeper Wu came to call me and said that there is no need to be too polite to him, just go through the motions.”

“As a result, when the shopkeeper Qian saw me, he sent the shopkeeper Wu away and talked to me alone. He said that he wanted to invite me to work as a chef in Fuyunlou, and said that as long as I go, he can name any price.”

“This corner is really straightforward.” Su Yujin chuckled, “What did Uncle Zheng say to him?”

“What else can I say? Just say that since I came out to work to earn money, I will naturally work for the boss who pays more…”
