At dinner in the evening, when Xue Tong brought a pot of steaming chicken soup to the table, it immediately attracted everyone's eyes and made people swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Xue Tong took an empty tube bowl, a bowl full of chicken soup, and then pushed it in front of Yan Yun.

"Sister Yanyun, the most important thing for you now is to replenish your body and take care of your body, so that it will be easier to give birth to a child. This is an old hen I bought at the market this morning, how about you taste it? ”

Yan Yun took a small sip, gave a thumbs up directly, and praised again and again.

"It's so delicious, I've never had such a delicious chicken soup. Yan Rin also helped me make chicken soup before, but it has never been as delicious as today's chicken soup. Oh, after you came this time, Xue Tong, my mouth began to pick up. As long as you eat other things, you will feel tasteless, and only when you eat the dishes you make, will you feel that it is delicious in this world. ”

Xue Tong laughed: "In that case, Sister Yanyun, you have to drink a few more bowls." ”

"Okay, okay, then I'll listen to you and drink a few more bowls."

Xue Tong took another bowl, filled it with a full bowl and pushed it in front of his mother.

"Mother, you should also make up for your body. Your body is too weak to make up for it. ”

Xue Mu hurriedly pushed the soup bowl in front of her back in front of Xue Tong: "Tong'er, it's better for you to drink, my mother doesn't like to drink these things." ”

In this world, every mother, in order to deceive her children into eating good things, will make up the same reason, saying that the mother does not like to eat.

How could Xue Tong not understand Xue Mu's thoughts?

Xue Tong only felt that there was a warmth in her heart, and there was a kind of sourness flashing, she must work harder, make more money, let her mother, Sister Yanyun, and everyone around her live a good life, only in this way will everyone not push each other for a bowl of chicken soup.

"Mother, what are you talking about? My boyfriend hasn't tasted it yet, so he said he doesn't like it, you can taste it, if you really don't like it, I'll change it next time. Besides, there is such a big pot of chicken soup, you can't finish it with Sister Yanzao. ”

Xue Tong pushed the chicken soup in front of his mother again: "Mother, don't worry, I made a lot of money today, and I will make more money in the future." At that time, we will not only have chicken soup to drink every day, but also more and more delicious food. ”

"Tong'er, my mother believes in you. But, Tong'er, you can't work too hard, you can't exhaust your body in order to make money, your mother will feel distressed. ”

Xue Tong reluctantly agreed: "Okay, mother, I promise you, I will definitely take good care of myself, and I will never let myself be tired." Besides, with Brother Yan helping me, I won't have too much work. ”

Speaking of Yan Rinlai, Xue Mu was naturally relieved. In Xue's mother's heart, she had already regarded Yan Rin as her future son-in-law.

So when she handed over her daughter to Yan Rin's hands, she was naturally relieved.

"That's right, I'm quite relieved to have Yan Rin to help you. Looking at the two of you like this now, mother, I don't know how relieved I am. Tong'er, my mother's greatest wish is to see you get married and have children as soon as possible. I think the two of you are getting along well, it's better to set the day of clarification as soon as possible, handle the marriage, and give birth to a big fat boy for your mother. When the time comes, my mother will help you take care of the children at home, and it will be good for you to go out and make money. ”

How can this be said and talked about?

Yan Rin and Xue Tong couldn't help but blush slightly, and an embarrassed look appeared on their faces.

Yan Rin secretly looked at Xue Tong, hoping to see some answers from Xue Tong's face.

Xue Tong hurriedly grabbed the rice bowl, pulled a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, and opened his mouth vaguely.

"Mother, why are you talking about this? My daughter is still young and wants to take care of her mother for a few more years. Mother, you can eat quickly. If you don't eat again, the food will be cold, and eating cold meals will be bad for your stomach. ”

Seeing that her daughter diverted the topic, Mother Xue also knew that her daughter was shy, so she didn't continue to talk anymore, but just laughed a few times in her heart.

Yan Yun had been observing the changes in the expressions on her younger brother and Xue Tong's faces, and saw that both of them blushed with shame, without any objection. She already knew in her heart that maybe these two people had already secretly agreed to it, but they were just waiting for an appropriate time.

Yan Yun's heart blossomed, she must go to Ming'er, put a stick of incense with her father and mother before the ranking, and tell her father and mother the good news.

The Yan family finally has a grandson, and if my father and mother know this good news, they will be very happy.

The atmosphere in the air also changed subtly, and no one spoke for the rest of the day, and the meal was quickly finished.

After eating, after Xue Tong cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, he said hello to everyone and went back to the room early.

Because of Xue's mother's words at the dinner table, everyone also knew that Xue Tong was shy, so they didn't delve too much into it.

Early the next morning, Xue Tong got up early, cooked porridge, and made a few delicious side dishes with porridge.

After breakfast, Xue Tong and Yan Rin set off in a carriage and went to the vegetable market to start today's business.

The two of them arrived at the market and had just set up their stalls. A few people came over, the first one who looked like the boss reached out and knocked on the table of the stall.

The man lifted his chin and glared at the two of them with his nostrils: "You guys are doing business here, have you ever paid protection money?" Let me tell you, in this area, it is all according to the overlord, and anyone who does business here must pay protection money to the overlord. You must be new here, and you don't know the rules here. That's okay, today I'm going to teach you what the rules are, hand over the protection money. ”

The man's face was full of pockmarks, and when he opened his mouth to speak, he showed a mouth full of yellow teeth, which made people look at it and lose their appetite.

The few little followers behind the man were even more bullish, looking like they were not afraid of heaven and earth, and they looked like they were the only ones.

Xue Tong frowned slightly, remembering the bridges he had seen on TV, and knew what was about to happen to them.

"Protection money? How come I haven't heard of it? I've only heard that this is the county lord's territory. When it became the territory of the overlord, I don't know at all. Why does this so-called overlord have more weight than the county master? ”

The man twitched the corners of his mouth, obviously not reacting to Xue Tong's words.

After a long time, he came back to his senses and slapped the table violently.

He roared, his face full of impatience.

"Little girl, how do you talk? You and I tell you, here, the overlord is the sky. You've got to keep your heads down. ”
