Business is exceptionally good today.

The restaurant is full of guests from other places who come to eat.

One of the guests also named him to eat the dishes of the village, otherwise he would not be paid.

So I went to my vegetable field and came back with a basket of vegetables, including courgette, melon, loofah, ground egg, and green cabbage, spinach, yam, etc.

These dishes are planted by my grandparents, and they have opened a lot of vegetable plots for my restaurant, and the front and back of the house have been dug up by the second elder, and dozens of kinds of fruits and vegetables have been planted on them.

Of course, I also pay for their dishes, and sometimes fresh game comes in from the restaurant, and after I make it, I will bring them a bowl to taste.

I wash the vegetables and send them to the back kitchen.

The chef in charge of the kitchen is my son, he has just married a wife, and his daughter-in-law is from Linxian County, with a gentle temperament and a good appearance.

The daughter-in-law is not only good-looking, but also diligent, and her family is quite well-off.

And the reason why his son was able to marry such a good daughter-in-law was also because his father-in-law's parents were in poor health and wanted to stay in Dongchen Village to recuperate.

It's funny to say that my father-in-law didn't mention this daughter-in-law to me at that time, but for some reason, it became this when I married in.

When my son saw that his daughter-in-law was more beautiful than before, he acquiesced and did not complain.

Fortunately, the daughter-in-law is good, docile and polite, and her own family can be regarded as a treasure.

It wasn't until later, when a woman came to my door and quarreled with my daughter-in-law, that I realized why it was another person who had married into my family, not the original marriage book.

The daughter-in-law cried and cried and said that this was her sister-in-law, when she learned that her father and mother had told her to a family in a village and a merchant in the countryside, she cried and refused to marry, and forced her father to change her mind with death, but her father and mother couldn't, so she had to marry herself.

But the name on the wedding card has not changed, because Sister Chang used her own name to marry someone else, but I didn't expect that after two years, Sister Chang suddenly came here to make a noise and wanted to change the marriage back.

The daughter-in-law hugged her little granddaughter for a few months and cried incessantly, I saw what it meant, she was very worried that her family would abandon her and change her sister-in-law.

I had no choice but to comfort: "Qiongniang, don't worry, our family only recognizes you, you are the wife of my son Ming Media, if that woman dares to make trouble again, the old lady will beat her with a rolling pin." ”

The daughter-in-law burst into tears and laughed, tied the baby behind her, and helped me wash and chop vegetables.

Two months later, the daughter-in-law's sister-in-law came again, and she also brought her mother-in-law, the wife of the in-law.

The woman cried in front of me, and said that she was calculated by a man, and it was my sister's family affair, but she made it easy for my sister to marry.

I just listened, and didn't mean to let them in.

After they finished crying, I said, "That's why your family is not doing things properly, so what's the use of running around and talking about this?" Seriously, our family was deceived by your family, and it really can't be done, so let's go to the county government and say. ”

The mother and daughter were stunned when they heard this, and the sister-in-law was very willful, and answered: "If you go to the county office, you will go to the county office, I am not happy, and Qiongniang should not think about it, why can she be born with enough food and clothing, and I will be poor and hungry?" ”

As soon as I heard this, my face sank: "In this case, there are officials here, let's ask one to come and judge you." But I said ugly things in the front, Qiongniang is the daughter-in-law of my family's Ming Media, and the wife who carried the sedan chair into my door, no matter how the official sentences, this cannot be changed, but you, who committed the crime of fraud, may be exiled by beating the board. ”

The mother and daughter listened, hesitated for a long time, and finally proposed that as long as they could stay in Dongchen Village, they would not mention the old thing.

I sneered and asked the maid to drive them away.

But thinking that her daughter-in-law had to go back to her parents' house to visit her father, she gave them a bag of maize.

It's not that I'm bad, it's really that my daughter-in-law's mother is still in that family, and if I don't give any benefits, I believe that they will definitely torture that aunt to death.

I turned back to the restaurant and sat upstairs by the window and looked out.

It's the Jiang family's mansion, and I haven't been there for years.

It's not that I don't want to go, it's that I don't have the face to see Sister Sakura.

Ever since my father framed Sakura, my brother and I haven't seen her again.

Even if I give birth to a child and the child marries a daughter-in-law, I still can't hold my head up in front of her.

In recent years, my sister has often come back to choose people from the village to travel with her to the land of immortals, and my son also wants to go very much, but I am embarrassed to talk to her.

Now that our family can have such a rich and stable life, we already rely on her, I know enough, and I don't dare to ask for too much.

I think that back then, when I was young, I was scared of being beaten and scolded by A-Niang, and I always imagined that I could leave that home, far away from A-Niang, even if I was a concubine for a big family, I didn't want to stay at home.

Later, Ah Niang died, and I learned that it was okay when there was Ah Niang, as long as she didn't lose her temper and didn't beat and scold, she would actually sew clothes for me, and she would also secretly tear off a piece and stuff it into my mouth when cooking meat during the New Year.

So I figured it out, I want to stay at home and take good care of my younger brother so that he can grow up healthy.

Fortunately, I did it, not only helped my brother earn money, but also helped him marry a daughter-in-law and help him build a big inn.

Others called me stupid, and my parents-in-law and sister-in-law scolded me for being a dog who didn't miss my family, and I was bent on supplementing my mother's family, but they forgot that my husband's family used to be poor and jingle, and I relied on me to buy and sell to feed them, and I also turned my husband's three thatched houses into five large tiled houses.

Fortunately, my husband was very protective of me and didn't allow my family to say a word about me, otherwise I wouldn't care if they lived or died, and my parents-in-law and aunts, uncles and uncles stopped.

As for complaining about something secretly in private, he is very busy and doesn't bother to bother with them at all.

Later, Dongchen Village became more and more famous, and when I saw this, I quickly bought several pieces of courtyard land nearby, built a large yard, and brought my children and husband to live in.

My brother didn't have enough money in his hand, so I was cheeky enough to borrow some from someone else and buy him a piece of land, and it didn't take long for me to pay back the money, because my business was so good that people came to eat and drink from morning till night.

The guests said that our food here was curative, so they wanted to eat five meals a day.

Later, I found out that the reason why they ate in my restaurant was because my family's vegetables were all grown in the magic circle, and they said that the vegetables under the protection of the sacred tree were spiritual food.

Since then, I gritted my teeth and hung a sign at the door, indicating that the vegetables and vegetables in the restaurant are all from Shenshu Village, which can prolong life.

After that, I raised the price of each dish, five times the kind, anyway, the locals don't come to eat, and my customers are mainly rich people from other places.

They don't care about money, but the more expensive they are, the more willing they are to buy it, and just like that, I make a lot of money.

Some people say that I am a profiteer, that it is no wonder that the merchants are low, they are all a group of shameless things, but who can remember that when I was shameless, I always ate bran vegetables, and in the winter I chiseled ice in the ice hole to wash clothes, and my fingers were frozen like turnips.

Now that I have money, I will hire people to wash my clothes, carry water and chop firewood, and in the future, my grandchildren will be able to go to the school in Shenshu Village and study in the same school with those princes and princesses.

In the future, my granddaughter may be able to marry a certain son as a wife.

I thought proudly, fortunately, I listened to Sister Sakura's words back then, set up a stall in the market, and even if I got married, I didn't leave the village.

Now that I think about it, Sister Sakura Bao is my lucky star, and I really don't understand why my father and mother would abandon her.

At this time, my youngest daughter ran upstairs and told me that the lord had come back and was talking to someone in the village, so that I could go and see it.

I ran back to the village with my daughter.

But I couldn't get close at all, because there were many, many people surrounding the Jiang family, most of whom were the emperor's forbidden army and the children of those nobles.

However, they didn't make a noise, and only quietly listened to Sister Sakuraho talking.

She said that she would choose a group of children to go with her and come back in ten years, asking everyone if they would like to.

No one wanted this, and everyone raised their hands, including me.

I thought that Sakura's sister must not have noticed me, so I was at ease, but I didn't expect that Sakurabo, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, suddenly came to me, and she asked me seriously if I really wanted to go with her.

At that moment, my eyes turned red, and I nodded and shook my head: "I raised it for my youngest son, he didn't come to the school." ”

My daughter was anxious, and hurriedly said, "Mother, and me, I also raised my hand." ”

Sister Sakura smiled and immediately agreed to the choice of my daughter and son.

I looked at Sister Sakurabo, and tears couldn't stop falling. It turned out that she was willing to help me.

Later, my sons and daughters followed Sakura for ten years, and by the time they returned, their identities were different.

The emperor summoned them to the capital and conferred official positions.

Before my daughter left, she gave me the pill that Sakura Bao gave her, saying that she could keep it unchanged for fifty years after eating it.

I ate it, so my face remained in my thirties, and everyone envied me for having won the fairy fate, and even my daughter-in-law's mother-in-law also courted my daughter-in-law, just because my grandson was also chosen to go to the fairy land.

As the days passed, my restaurant became more and more prosperous, and my brother's inn was rebuilt and built into a three-story high-rise building.

The first floor is a masonry structure, and the second and third floors are mortise and tenon wooden buildings.

Because there are more and more guests staying in the hotel, and the courtyard of his house is so big, it has been converted into a building, so that more guests can stay.

One day, I suddenly had a dream, dreaming that I was back when I was a child, and I also dreamed of my mother.

She was beating a child with a bamboo stick, and I looked at it and saw that the child was Sakuraho when she was a few years old.

I wanted to stop A-Niang, but I couldn't.

At this time, I found myself and my eldest sister when I was a child hiding behind the door and peeping.

Then, I saw a lot of pictures of Sakura Po being beaten by Ah Niang, and the skin on her arms and head and face was even cracked, revealing bright red flesh.

She lay in a haystack outside the yard, covered with a shabby reed coat.

I saw my childhood self walk by, throw a piece of black bread far away, put a broken bowl next to it, and run away.

I can clearly feel my own thoughts at what age I was, and I was scared of Sakura at that time, and I was very scared, because her eyes were very weird.

But I never thought of helping her, and so did the eldest sister, and we sent her something to eat after dinner, sometimes I went, sometimes the eldest sister went, but I found that the eldest sister threw the black flour cake to the dog at home several times to eat.

But I didn't say anything, and I didn't think about suing Grandma.

Later, Yingbao gradually got better, and I still heard Grandma and Auntie muttering, saying that her life is really big, and she is alive like this, which shows that she is a cheap bone.

Ah Niang hugged her younger brother Xu Bao at this time, and while feeding him egg custard, she said: It's okay to live, and there will be someone at home who can work in the future.

So my eldest sister and I were free, except for the occasional trip to the river to carry water, all the work was handed over to Sakura.

Later, when I talked to the girls in the village, I learned that the family surnamed Jiang in Dongchen Village had moved away, and it was said that they had moved to Jiangjia Village.

But I saw Yingbao secretly running to Dongchen Village several times, so I quietly followed, and I saw the couple surnamed Jiang hugging her and crying, and stuffed her with several boiled eggs.

I was thinking that when she came back, I would bring the eggs to A-Niang, but I saw her sitting on the ground and eating all the boiled eggs.

I was very angry, so I went back and told Ah Niang.

A-Niang immediately pulled a clothes beating stick and went out, and under my leadership, she found Sakura Bao, pulled her over and beat her hard.

The Jiang family and his wife were protected, and they were also beaten several times, and finally the Jiang family Saburo beat her mother and threatened her that if she dared to abuse Yingbao again, she would report to the official.

But A-Niang was not afraid at all, and shouted loudly, saying what happened to beating her daughter? Even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes, he is not afraid.

In the end, the Jiang family and his wife were taken away, and Yingbao was also slipped home by A-Niang, so she was naturally beaten hard.

But Sakura seems to be very stubborn, and when she is free, she sneaks away, and she wants to find her adoptive father and adoptive mother.

Later, A-Niang bought an iron chain to tie her ankles, tied her under a big tree, and held Xu Bao and pointed at her and said: She is a cheap bone, don't treat her as a person in the future.

A-Niang also taught Xu Bao to beat her with a bamboo stick, saying that she was a dog, and she couldn't do it if she didn't fight.

After that, the village chief couldn't stand it, so he came over to reprimand him, and Ah Niang untied the iron chain on Yingbao's ankle.

I heard the village chief whisper to Sakura Bao that she should live well, and when she grows up and gets married, she can leave here and do whatever she wants.

I saw Sakura Po crying, she didn't cry when she was beaten like that by her mother, the village chief just said a few words to her in a good voice, and she cried a lot.

At that moment, I felt a little pitiful for Sakuraho.

I knew I was dreaming, I wanted to wake up, but I couldn't, and those images flashed like a marquee.

I saw a big flood in the village, and my family went to the county seat.

I also saw my father and mother take us to live in my aunt's house.

Once my aunt and sister and I went out to play, and my second cousin's Huasheng was hung up by a tree branch.

I saw that my teenage self didn't squeak, bent down and pretended to pull out the heel, and quietly stuffed the gold-inlaid Huasheng into the sleeve.

After I came back, I quietly inserted Dai Huasheng in the mirror, and was looked at by Sakura Bao who came in.

I was scared, and my second sister had been looking for the lost Huasheng for a long time, so I decided to give up the Huasheng and put it under Sakurabao's pillow.

Subsequently, Sakura was beaten by A-Niang and put her in a chicken coop.

Later, Yingbao was sold to Hualou by A-Niang.

I saw that Ah Niang was holding thirty taels of silver, and Xizizi said to my father: I didn't expect that girl to be so valuable, she sold thirty taels, and now we can settle in the county.
