Chapter 21 Guest
"Yes, Chu Catcher."
"Chen Liu, what else do you have to say?"
"All this is your speculation, what evidence do you have to say that I killed my father-in-law."
"Yes, I know, I know." Aunt Chen seemed to remember something, got up and ran to the kitchen.
"Look, here's what was left over from yesterday."
Zhang Zezhen took the plate of leftovers, checked the color and taste of the dish, and said to Chu Ming: "Chu Zhutou, that's right, the leftovers on the plate are Thunder Kung Teng." ”
"Impossible, impossible." Chen Liu looked at Chen's mother with a panicked expression.
"I obviously asked Chen Daniu to throw away the leftovers yesterday, how can I still keep them? You framed me! ”
"You poisonous woman, you have not repented until now. My son is really blind to marry such a white-eyed wolf as you. ”
"My lord, my son is afraid of wasting food, so I didn't throw away the leftovers after eating, but put them in the kitchen, thinking that I could continue to eat tomorrow, but I didn't expect this poisonous woman to ...... Your Excellency, you must call the shots for us! ”
"Chen Liu, what crime should you be guilty of murdering your husband! If you don't confess, wait to go to prison and suffer. Chu Ming said angrily to Chen Liu.
"Humph! Chen Daniu died, he deserved it! If he hadn't threatened me, if I wasn't with him, I'd have made my Kabuki work public, and I'd tell my father and mother about my affair with someone else. ”
"You think your son is a good thing! The money he earned before was to buy you medicine, yes, but more of it was spent in the kiln. ”
"You're spewing blood!" When Aunt Chen heard Chen Liu insult her son like this, it was obviously difficult to accept.
"Am I talking nonsense? You go and ask his fox friends if I'm talking nonsense. Okay, kill to pay for your life, little girl, I am planted in your hands today, count me unlucky, Chu Zhutou, let's go. ”
Chen Liu was taken away by the officials, and a good marriage ended in tragedy.
Zhang Zezhen looked at this family, and felt a lot of emotion in her heart, she was very grateful that she could be reincarnated into Zhang Yang's family, otherwise, there would be no life of free love, how many regrets should be left.
"Miss Zhang, where do you live? I'll send you back! Chu Ming asked his subordinates to wait for Chen Liu's to be in the yamen, but he was not in a hurry to leave.
"Chu Zhutou, aren't you in a hurry to go back?"
"It's okay, the higher authorities ordered me to investigate this case, and since the matter is over, then I have nothing to do."
Zhang Zezhen heard that the handsome guy was going to send him home, and the joy in her heart was overflowing.
"Then it's troublesome to catch the head."
"Yes, you've helped me a lot, and I have to thank you, let's go."
"Hmm."
The two left from Chen Village, and the two talked and laughed along the way, Chu Ming's personality was very cheerful, and he was also very vigorous and resolute, which was very in line with Zhang Zezhen's appetite.
"By the way, Miss Zhang, you said before that you are a cook, so where do you work?"
"I used to work in Jinyulou, but because of family matters, I just left not long ago, and I am currently staying at home."
"So what are your plans for the future?"
"I've been checking the shops around me for the past two days to see if there are any cheaper rental shops, and I'm thinking of opening my own restaurant so that I can be self-sufficient."
"Why don't you consider the county seat to open it? There are more diners, and business will be more prosperous. ”
"The county seat? No, no, my house is too far away from the county seat, and my nephew and father need someone to take care of them, so I'll think about it when their lives stabilize. ”
"Isn't there anyone else in your house?"
"Yes, there are two brothers and sisters-in-law."
"Then let them take care of your parents, why worry about you, when you earn money and provide them with a better life, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"
"Chu Zhutou thinks too beautifully, I can't run on both sides every day for such a long distance."
"If the girl doesn't dislike it, she can borrow it from me for the time being."
Zhang Zezhen: ......
"Don't get me wrong, my father and mother have passed away, and I have always lived alone at home, and I rarely go back in normal times, if someone helps me live, I can also be popular."
The more Zhang Zezhen listened, the more she felt that this man looked like a liar.
"Thank you Chu Zhutou for taking care of me, I'd better do the things in front of me first, it's more realistic."
"Girl, do you think I'm a little reckless, don't you mind, I just think you're very good and capable, you should go to a bigger place and display your talents."
"Chu Zhutou, the first time you and I meet, you can see that I am capable?"
"Girl, don't underestimate me, although I am only twenty-six years old this year, I have been doing fast fishing for 8 years, I don't read much, but I have seen a lot of people, believe in my vision."
Zhang Zezhen smiled and did not speak.
"What are you laughing at? Don't believe me? ”
"No, I just think Chu Zhutou looks like a big boy."
"Aren't you a little girl yet?"
Zhang Zezhen just wanted to refute, but when he remembered that he had crossed over, he was not yet 20 years old.
"Yes." In order to alleviate the embarrassment, she immediately changed her words.
Chu Ming looked at the chubby cute girl in front of him and felt very kind, if she was a little thinner, she would definitely be a beautiful embryo.
"What are you looking at?" Zhang Zezhen asked curiously.
"It's nothing, by the way, you said you want to open a store, so have you found an address?"
"Not yet."
"Then I'll take you somewhere, I have a friend who happens to sell the shop. Let me help you tell you, I guess it can be cheaper. ”
"How can you have someone you know?"
"Because I was born here, I later became a catcher, so I went to the county seat."
Zhang Zezhen thought about it and decided to go over and have a look, in case it was suitable.
"Far from here?"
"It's not far, just a little ahead, it seems to be very close to the Jinyu Building where you did things before."
When Zhang Zezhen heard Jinyulou, her expression was instantly a little embarrassed, did she want to block her old club? There's nothing to lose by checking it out, though.
"Look, there's it." Chu Ming pointed to a small shop and said.
"Brother Liao, long time no see!"
"Oops, isn't this Chu Catcher? Why do you have time to come to me today? ”
"Come and handle the case, and come and see you by the way."
"Who's next to him?"
"I forgot to introduce, this is Zhang Zezhen, who helped me a lot just now. Miss Zhang, this is Liao Hai, the owner of this tea shop, my brother. ”
"The little girl is polite, Mr. Liao."
"You're welcome."
After the two sides got to know each other, Liao Hai also began to get to the point.
"Tell me, you kid, what's the matter with coming here today?"
"Look at what you said, can't I come and see you if it's okay?"
"Hmph, I don't know about you yet? If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Palace, and say something quickly! ”
"Brother Liao still understands me, I heard that you want to sell the tea shop, is it true?"
"Well, the old mother is sick, and I have to go back to take care of it."
"Have you found a buyer?"
"Not yet, you look at the town, most of them are people who do things, how many people can afford to buy a tea shop? Ay! ”
"Coincidentally, Miss Zhang wants to open a restaurant here, I wonder if your store is willing to sell it?"
"Is that true?" Liao Hai looked at Zhang Zezhen and said.
"Really, I don't know how much Brother Liao is willing to sell?"
"I sold him 200 taels for others, and since the girl is a friend of Brother Chu, I can sell you 150 taels, what do you think?"
"100 taels, can Brother Liao accept it?"
"Oops, this ......" Liao Hai heard the price and felt that it was really a bit low. Girl, add some more, you really can't say it. ”
"I know Brother Liao is embarrassed, but I really don't have enough money in my family. Not long ago, the family repaid 100 taels of gambling debts for his brother, and after that, he handed over the bundle for his eldest nephew, and now he only has 100 taels in his hand, and he really can't take it out. ”
Zhang Zezhen knew that she was suspected of crying poor, but everything that could be saved would be saved, after all, the tables and chairs for opening a store still cost money, and they must be counted among them.
"Brother Liao, what do you think of this? 120 taels, the remaining 20 taels, I will put on the mat for Miss Zhang first. Chu Ming made a suggestion.
"Chu Zhutou, how can I use your money?" Zhang Zezhen asked in surprise.
"You helped me, and I repay you, isn't it a matter of course? And I didn't lend it to you for nothing, when you earn it, give me more, and I won't lose anything. ”
"Hahaha, Brother Chu is really smart! Okay, everyone is a cheerful person, since that's the case, I won't talk nonsense, 120 taels, come to trade the day after tomorrow, how about it? ”
"Okay."
The three hit it off, and Chu Ming's appearance directly solved the problem that had plagued Zhang Zezhen for a long time.
Chu Ming looked at Zhang Zezhen's happy smiling face, and was even happier than opening his own store.
"Miss Zhang, when it opens, don't forget to invite me over for dinner." Chu Ming said jokingly.
"Absolutely."
The three chatted for a while, telling some previous things, and Chu Ming and Zhang Zezhen prepared to leave.
"Brother Liao, let's leave first."
"The two of you go slowly, Liao won't send it."
"Brother Liao, farewell."
Afterwards, Chu Ming sent Zhang Zezhen in the direction of home.
"Thanks to Chu Zhutou's help today, I don't even know how to repay you." Zhang Zezhen said happily to Chu Ming.
"Didn't you say that? When you make money, remember to pay me back a little more, and it will be considered as my earnings. ”
"Of course, I see that it is not early, is Brother Chu willing to come to my house for a light meal and then leave?"
Hearing Zhang Zezhen's invitation, Chu Ming was naturally reluctant to refuse.
"Really? Will it disturb your family? ”
"No, my father and mother are very hospitable, they will be very happy to see you, and you have done me such a great favor."
"Then I'll be respectful and obey."
Along the way, the two seemed to have endless words, and this was the first time Zhang Zezhen had said so many words to a boy, and before they knew it, the two arrived at Zhang's house.
"Dad, mother, I'm back!"
"Zhenzhen is back?" When Zhang Yang heard that it was his daughter's voice, he hurriedly went out to greet him.
As soon as I went out, I saw a handsome young man coming back with his daughter.
She immediately greeted her with a smile: "Daughter, what is this?" ”
"Mother, this is Chu Zhutou of the county seat, who has helped me a lot, I invited him to come to the house for a light meal."
"Auntie, hello, I'm Chu Ming."
"Chu Zhutou is good, come, come quickly."
Zhang Yang looked at the man in front of him and felt that he was more compatible with his girl.
As soon as she entered the door, Zhang Zezhen introduced Chu Ming to everyone, and said to her brother and sister-in-law: "Everyone is resting tonight, I will prepare dinner for everyone, and let Chu Zhutou taste my craftsmanship." ”
After that, Zhang Zezhen went into the kitchen, looking at the strange man in front of him, everyone was full of curiosity, especially Zhang Yang's, just like investigating the household registration, kept asking about people's personal situations.
