I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 309
Spring is coming, and the withered rice fields suddenly grow into green grass overnight, giving off a new round of vitality.

This is true for Zhoujiacun, and so is Ruyi Pavilion.

Since Ruyige opened on the seventh day of March, its daily net income is not as much as the previous day, but compared with the income from setting up a street stall, it has increased several times.

It had only been less than ten days since it opened, and Chen Ping'an had to set off for the provincial capital again to get a batch of goods back.

Fortunately, Wan Qiu was there to help in the store. Otherwise, Zhou Chenyu would have been too busy by himself.

At noon that day, Zhou Chenyu and Wan Qiu took turns to have dinner. He called her to the counter and gave her a small cloth bag, "Wan Qiu, here it is."

"This?" Wan Qiu touched the hard coins in the bag, raised his head blankly, and asked half-consciously: "Sister, what is this?"

Zhou Chenyu glanced at her and said with a smile: "You work in Ruyi Pavilion, this is the salary you deserve."

Wan Qiu's eyes widened after hearing this, and he was so frightened that he quickly put the money bag on the table and panicked:
"Sister, I was kicked out of the house by my mother, and it was you, my aunt, and Baoyu who took me in. Not only that, you also fed me, clothed me, and gave me many, many good things."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to repay your great kindness in my lifetime. How can I accept any more money from my sister? I can never take it!"

"What kind of kindness? If you really want to say that, then I have to make it clear to you." Zhou Chenyu said angrily and pulled her to sit down, "If we talk about repaying kindness, our family used to have nothing but walls. You don't Do you always give us those good things? Now that you are in trouble, if we take you in, that is also repaying our past kindness. How can you say you are so kind and virtuous?"

"But I..." Wan Qiu's eyes were full of tears.

Zhou Chenyu took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears, "You have been busy in Ruyi Pavilion these days without a single complaint. Your brother Ping'an and I have seen it, and we have also negotiated this salary. Yes, you deserve it, so you are not allowed to refuse. If you refuse, I can't explain it to him. Do you really want to embarrass me? "

Wan Qiu blinked and sniffed aggrievedly, "Sister, you didn't lie to me?"

"What did I lie to you for? Am I short of this money?" Zhou Chenyu sneered, pinched her nose, and said: "And your father and mother can't help you with your matter with Brother Tong Sheng. What. You can't just marry someone into his house and wait for him to support you when you have nothing in the future, right?"

"Sister! Why did you say again..." Wan Qiu's tearful face turned crimson, "I'll just accept it."

"We're all together now? What's there to be ashamed of?" Zhou Chenyu looked at her with disgust. He laughed for a while, but then his eyes became serious, "But what I said next is all the truth. Women, it depends on your mother's family. Or relying on your husband and children is not as good as relying on yourself. And having money in your own hands is your confidence."

Wan Qiu raised her eyes, blinked and looked over, looking at her sister in front of her, and couldn't help but think of everything that happened with her in the past year.

There was no money or food at home, so he picked bamboo shoots and fungi to sell. When he saved enough money, he opened a sweet shop without a second thought.Although he experienced difficulties from Qian Rushan, he never bowed his head.After surviving those difficult days, I immediately started the rouge business.Every step I take is based on myself, and I never think of relying on others.

It is better for a woman to rely on her natal family or her husband and children than to rely on herself.

Wan Qiu held the money in her bag tightly, smiled, and her eyes ignited with hope, "Well, I also want to be like my sister, relying on myself and not asking anyone else!"

Zhou Chenyu looked at her and smiled lightly, "That's right! You have to rely on yourself!"

The two sisters took advantage of the few customers to chat a few words. Unexpectedly, not long after, a man came to the store with an old woman and a young man.

The leader saw Zhou Chenyu and said, "Shopkeeper Zhou, you have some distant relatives who are looking for you."

what?
Distant relative?Where did she come from as a distant relative?
Zhou Chenyu stopped talking and looked at the person who was leading the way. The old woman was about the same age as Li Xiuju. She had a plump figure and was energetic. She had slit eyes, an upturned nose, a thick mouth, and a black hole on the upper left side of her mouth. mole.

The young man next to her was a few years older than her, and he looked somewhat similar to the woman?If she guessed correctly, it should be a mother-son relationship.

However, she remembered that when she went to Lijiazhuang during the Chinese New Year to meet Li Xiuju's relatives, she had never seen these two people.

Where did it come from?

Could it be a distant relative of the old Zhou family?

Zhou Chenyu turned his head and looked at Wan Qiu.

Before seeing Wan Qiu's reaction, the old woman suddenly rushed in front of her, smiling and stretching out her hands, trying to catch her.

Zhou Chenyu was startled by her and took two steps back, "Auntie, you...what are you doing?"

Wan Qiu hurriedly sneaked up behind her sister and wanted to speak, but the woman interrupted her again.

Li Chunmei's hands froze in the air, displeasure flashed across her face, her eyes fixed on Zhou Chenyu, showing her heartache, "Chen Yu, I heard that you got mad last year, and you don't remember many things from the past. Things. I still don’t believe it, but I didn’t expect it to be true. Good boy, how much suffering have you suffered? Do you really don’t remember us? "

"Haha, I don't remember a little bit."

Who are you?

Zhou Chenyu cursed in his heart and used to put a smile on his lips.

Then, the young man who was frozen at the door slowly stepped forward and said, "Chen Yu, you don't know. My mother has known that you were sick since then, and she also became seriously ill because she was worried about you. She really couldn't rest assured that this illness is gone. For several days, I rushed to Qingshui Town non-stop to visit you."

Got seriously ill?
Zhou Chenyu was suspicious for a moment, and after careful calculation, almost a year had passed, and the old lady didn't look like she had just recovered from a serious illness.

Is there something tricky in it?
Zhou Chenyu smiled faintly and moved his gaze to the man, unexpectedly meeting his eyes that were full of affection, reluctant to speak, and even a little aggrieved.

She thumped, this guy... couldn't be her fiancé she had never met before, right?

Zhou Chenyu looked at the man's face, swallowed, and looked at Wan Qiu with his head down.

In late autumn, a clever man rushed forward, supported Li Chunmei, and said with a sweet smile: "Aunt Li, Brother Shengcai, you must be exhausted. Just sit here, and my sister and I will prepare some tea for you."

Seeing how gentle and decent she was, Li Chunmei smiled with satisfaction and let her help her sit aside, "I'm a little tired."

Zhou Chenyu avoided the man's affectionate gaze and followed Wan Qiu into the inner room, "Wan Qiu, who are these two people?"
