Chapter 107: Zhang Tianyong
"Hello aunt, my name is Mei Niang, and I am Ji Rin's daughter-in-law." Liu Meiniang stepped forward and said obediently.
"Mei Niang, okay, Ji Rin is unlucky." Zhang Tianyong's daughter-in-law said lovingly.
Zhang Li and Zhang Jihan would not be angry because Zhang Tianyong's daughter-in-law said this, because they knew that Zhang Tianyong's daughter-in-law really liked Mei Niang to say this, and they did not mean to belittle Zhang Jirin.
"Big girl, come and pour water for your aunt." Zhang Tianyong's daughter-in-law shouted to the back of the room before entering the door.
After a while, two girls ran out of the back of the room. The eldest is fifteen or sixteen years old, and the younger one is thirteen or fourteen years old.
"Auntie, cousin, cousin." The eldest girl smiled and said hello, and the younger girl ran away.
"This is my second daughter and third daughter, the eldest and the second daughter, the eldest got married two years ago, and the younger one is Nan'er." Zhang Tianyong's daughter-in-law introduced Liu Meiniang to several people.
"Auntie, cousin, cousin, drink water." The eldest and second girls walked in with a worn-out teapot and a few bowls and poured water for the three of them.
"When will Uncle Cousin come back?" Liu Meiniang asked.
"Let's wait a while, you sit down, Erya, you go to the back mountain and shout, see if you can call your father back." Zhang Tianyong's daughter-in-law pointed at Erya, and Erya ran out with a sigh.
"My sister-in-law is blessed, and the more my daughter-in-law looks at it, the more distressed she becomes." Zhang Tianyong's daughter-in-law stared at Liu Meiniang, and the meaning of hunger and love in her eyes was self-evident.
"Whatever is blessed or not, it's all the same." Zhang Li was relieved.
"Auntie, we came this time to ask my cousin to work for us for a while." Liu Meiniang said her intention.
"Workmanship?" Zhang Tianyong's daughter-in-law said in surprise.
"Yes, we opened a shop in the county town and want to ask my cousin to help." Liu Meiniang said.
"But your cousin is lame again, how can I help you?" Zhang Tianyong's daughter-in-law had gloom in her eyes.
"Auntie, the shop we opened in the city needs a person in charge, and my cousin is in charge of the people below, so he is not particularly tired." Liu Meiniang explained.
Zhang Tianyong's daughter-in-law widened her eyes in surprise, is there such a good thing?
"This, there is such a good thing?" Zhang Tianyong's daughter-in-law asked in disbelief.
"Auntie, my mother and I are here today for this matter, my cousin's character is known in all eight villages, we are also very short of manpower, if my cousin is willing, it will be great." When Liu Meiniang saw Zhang Tianyong's daughter-in-law's reaction, she knew that this matter was a sure thing and she didn't run away.
There was the sound of something falling at the door of the "frame", and everyone looked towards the door and saw Zhang Tianyong standing at the door, and what had just dropped was the hoe in his hand.
Liu Meiniang saw Zhang Tianyong for the first time, he was no different from an ordinary rural man, his skin was dark and dark, but his eyes were bright and scared, but he was very burly, Liu Meiniang was about 1.8 meters tall.
"Uncle Cousin." Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jihan stood up and said hello.
"Tianyong is back?" Zhang Li also asked with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Zhang Tianyong restlessly put his hand on his body and wiped it.
Liu Meiniang noticed that even though Zhang Tianyong had just come down from the mountain, there was no dirt and dust on his body, and his hands were clean, probably because he had cleaned up in the yard before.
Liu Meiniang has a good impression of this cousin who is not close to her.
"We're here today for some help." Zhang Li said with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, I just heard it at the door, you really ......" Zhang Tianyong was afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he asked again embarrassedly.
"Uncle Cousin, if you can come to our shop as a steward, we can't ask for it." Liu Meiniang said sincerely.
"But I'm .......," Zhang Tianyong hammered his leg angrily.
"Uncle Cousin, we came to you because we heard Ji Han say that you had been to some places in the early years and had seen much more than us juniors, so I wanted to ask you to ......" Liu Meiniang knew Zhang Tianyong's feelings.
Originally, when I was young, I went south and north, I was high-spirited, I can't say how rich I was, and I was finally free, but now, the high-spirited man has lived his life into such a dilemma, can he not feel uncomfortable?
"If you can trust me, then I will also let go." Zhang Tianyong finally made up his mind and said.
Hearing Zhang Tianyong's reply, Liu Meiniang was also very happy, she still had a worry before she came that Zhang Tianyong's fighting spirit had been worn out by life, but looking at this, her previous worries were superfluous.
"Uncle Cousin, this matter is settled, in five days, you come to Liuhe Village to find me, and we will go to the shop in the city together." Liu Meiniang said.
"Okay, I'll definitely come, thank you sister-in-law, thank you Mei Niang." Zhang Tianyong bowed deeply to Liu Meiniang and Zhang Li, Liu Meiniang was startled and hurriedly helped Zhang Tianyong up.
"You're welcome." Zhang Li said with a hearty smile.
The matter was settled, and Liu Meiniang and the others should go home.
Before leaving, Zhang Tianyong sent a few people out for a long time, Liu Meiniang and the others turned their heads and couldn't see Zhang Tianyong's face clearly, Zhang Tianyong was still standing at the door.
"Mei Niang, you have done your cousin a great favor this time." Walk on the road. Zhang Li said with emotion.
"Mother, if you can help, you can help, who doesn't have a problem, besides, my cousin can indeed be a steward, instead of looking for others, it is better to find your own relatives, rest assured." Liu Meiniang said.
"That's what I said, but if you look at those relatives in our family, which one is worry-free?" Thinking of those relatives in his family, Zhang Li's brows were furrowed together.
If they knew about the opening of the shop this time, they might come back to make trouble.
"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the methods are always thought up by people, so they can't be asked to stump us." Liu Meiniang didn't care about what Zhang Li said.
Those relatives of the Zhang family, to put it mildly, are mercenary, greedy and cheap, this kind of person is the most difficult to deal with, and it is best to deal with, because this kind of person is greedy for life and afraid of death, Liu Meiniang did not come to them a few times before, just taking into account that everyone is a family, and when there is trouble in the clan, no one's face is good-looking.
And if they come and go, whether their family does wrong or not, they will be condemned in the clan.
Therefore, Liu Meiniang tolerated those people who came to Zhang's house again and again to make a little profit.
"Mei Niang, if you think like this, I will be relieved. In the past, my mother felt sorry for you, if it weren't for the family, you wouldn't have to suffer, but now it seems that the Zhang family can live a good life today thanks to you, Dandan, Tongtong, and Ji Han, you are the lucky star of our Zhang family. Zhang Li's sudden sensationalism made Liu Meiniang a little unmistaken, so she had to hold Zhang Li's hand tightly to express her feelings.
The mother and son walked home like this.
But they don't know that bigger trouble awaits them.
After returning home, Liu Meiniang asked Zhang Li to rest, she was a little unbearable to walk such a long way, not to mention Zhang Li, who was not in good health.
Just when Liu Meiniang was about to go to the kitchen to cook, she saw Zhang Dandan and Zhang Tongtong busy in the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, you're back." Zhang Dandan still had some flour on his face, which was as paste as a little flower cat, and he pounced directly into Liu Meiniang's arms.
"What are you doing here?" Liu Meiniang couldn't help laughing.
"My third sister and I are cooking." Zhang Dandan pointed to the stove, and Liu Meiniang saw that the two were cooking noodles.
"That's good." Liu Meiniang scratched Zhang Dandan's nose.
Zhang Tongtong glanced at Liu Meiniang and did not speak.
Originally, she wanted to help, but she didn't expect the two children to do everything. It is made with tomato and egg noodle soup.
The soup looks very good, both in terms of color and taste.
"I'll taste it." Liu Meiniang picked up the spoon and was about to taste the soup.
"You haven't washed your hands yet." Zhang Tongtong stood aside and said coldly.
Liu Meiniang touched her nose embarrassedly, usually only she said their share, but I didn't expect that she was also disgusted today, but why did she feel a little happy.
Liu Meiniang put down the spoon and went to the bathroom to wash her hands, but the corners of her mouth hooked up a happy smile.
Zhang Dandan and Zhang Tongtong's craftsmanship is still good, or directly Zhang Tongtong's craftsmanship is very good, and the noodles made are strong and delicious.
Liu Meiniang praised the two of them a lot, Zhang Dan's happy face turned red, and Zhang Tongtong still looked indifferent, if it weren't for the pause in the action of eating, Liu Meiniang really thought that this girl was happy and angry.
After eating, Liu Meiniang was planning the supermarket in the house, but there was a wave of people standing at the gate of Zhang's house.
"Yo, this house is really well repaired, this has no conscience. I didn't know if I was asked to stay there. Liu Meiniang's eldest aunt, Wang, was wearing a dusty dress that had not changed for thousands of years, and stood at the gate of the Zhang family and said in a scream.
"Who are you, what are you doing standing at the gate of Ji Han's house?" A voice came from behind, and Liu Wang turned his head and saw a woman coming.
"Who am I? Who are you? ”
Liu Wang glanced at the woman and said contemptuously.
"I'm Ji Han's fifth aunt." Qian glanced at Liu Wang.
"Yo, Ji Han's fifth aunt, why haven't I heard Ji Han mention you." Liu Wang said disapprerovingly.
"Cut, Ji Han, is Mei Niang at home?" The Qian family no longer had a chance with Liu Wang, and directly twisted to the gate and began to shout.
"Wang-" She was only meowed by a dog.
"Hey, fifth uncle and fifth aunt, why are you here?" After a while, Zhang Dandan walked out.
"Dandan, let's take a look at you." Qian said flatteringly.
"Dandan, I'm the eldest aunt, you still remember me." Not to be outdone, Liu Wang squeezed in front.
"Auntie, uncle." Although Zhang Dandan is small, there are many bends in his heart, seeing the four people at the door, Zhang Dandan began to complain in his heart, it is already difficult to deal with two at a time, and now there are four people at once, what can I do.
"Is there anything you guys are here for?" Zhang Dandan bit his lip and asked crisply.
"Well, they're all relatives. We can't go around yet. Liu Wang's family looked at the Zhang family's house, their eyes were full of greed, they didn't come when Liu Meiniang's house was completed, they thought it was a small house, but they didn't expect it to be so big.
I knew I was here sooner.
"Sit down there." Zhang Dandan was like a little adult, bringing four people in.
