Liu Fanyin walked beside Fang Xu in small steps. He glanced at her from the corner of his eye and saw that her expression was as usual. She boldly called out, "Mother..."
Fang Xu turned his head when he heard the sound, and his eyes fell on her.
Liu Fanyin paused, lowered his head slightly, and whispered, "It's all my fault that my daughter-in-law is incompetent. She has to trouble her mother to make a trip for such a trivial matter."
"How can I blame you?" Fang Xu curled his lips and his eyes softened, "They are trying to compete with each other. You are not experienced in the world, how can you fight against those old scoundrels?"
"But..." Liu Fanyin's eyes dimmed a little and she said softly, "If my daughter-in-law could be tougher, they might not dare to show off."
"Who hasn't gone through the process of growing up?" Fang Xu said with a smile, walking slowly on the street, "You can't become fat in one breath. You have made progress. If you catch up with the old you, I'm afraid you will have to face them directly. One has come through the door."
Liu Fanyin was stunned for a moment, and then she thought of how useless she was in the past, and couldn't help laughing, "That's what mother said."
Shen Ji walked slowly aside, lowered his long eyelashes, and listened carefully to the two men's speech.
Wen Mo approached him and whispered, "Sir, don't forget, one of your students is visiting our home today."
Shen Ji paused and his face turned dark.
When Fang Xu heard Wen Mo's words, he looked sideways at Shen Ji and said softly, "Since Mr. Shen has something to do, go back first. Thank you very much for today. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
When Shen Ji heard the last half of the sentence, his face suddenly regained its luster, and the corners of his mouth also turned up, "Why should you be so polite between Madam and me?"
"One code, one code." Fang Xu didn't understand the tone of his words, and there was a smile in his eyes, "Without you here, the Liu family would not give in, and they would bully our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to death. You helped me." , it’s just a meal, not to be polite but to be polite.”
"In that case, I can't shirk Madam." Shen Ji's lips curled up slightly and his tone was gentle.
Fang Xu nodded, "Let's go slowly."
Shen Ji pursed his lips, took a deep look at Fang Xu, then turned around and got on the carriage not far away.
"Mother," seeing Master Shen leaving, Liu Fanyin pinched her fingertips and asked tentatively, "A new mutton soup restaurant has opened in Dongshi. It's not far from here. I heard it tastes good. Mother, can we go with you if you have time? "
Fang Xu saw her expectation and chuckled, "You've already said this, how can I refuse?"
"Madam..." Bai Ji weakly raised his hand and murmured, "Slave, can you also ask for a bowl?"
Fang Xu found it funny and glared at her angrily, "When have I ever failed you in my words?"
Bai Ji felt relieved and grinned, "Then let's go quickly, madam. This slave is already hungry."
Fang Xu sighed softly, looked at each other with Liu Fanyin, and immediately laughed out loud, "Let's go, I'm afraid there will be trouble if we don't feed her."
"Yes." Liu Fanyin covered her mouth and snickered, feeling much more relaxed.
Fang Xu looked at her and said in a soft tone, "You kid likes to keep everything in your heart. If you don't get angry, you will get heart problems in the future."
"Many times, you should learn to rely on your family." Fang Xu walked slowly and whispered, "This world is inherently unfair to women. If you don't use all means to fight for it, what good things will happen to you?" On the head?"
"Daughter-in-law understands what mother means." Liu Fanyin lowered her eyelids and responded in a low voice.
"Today's matter is settled. You don't have to be burdened, and no one will block your way anymore." Fang Xu stared at her and said in a calm tone, "It's true that the Liu family's business is losing money. From now on, those shops will be in your hands." , you have to put more thought into it.”
"I have confidence in you. As long as you are here, the Liu family's business will not collapse."
Liu Fanyin's expression paused, then he suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Fang Xu flattered.
Fang Xu stopped looking at her and focused on the road under his feet.
After a while, we finally arrived at Dongshi.
Liu Fanyin looked into the distance, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He pointed at a shop not far away and said with a smile, "Mom, that's the shop."
Fang Xu raised his eyes and saw that there was nothing new about the shop. The plaque on the door also clearly said mutton steamed buns.
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked into the store, the waiter immediately greeted them with a smile on their faces, "What do you guys want to eat?"
"Four..." Fang Xu glanced at Bai Ji behind him, paused, and then said, "Five bowls of mutton steamed buns, I want a big bowl."
"Okay!" The waiter agreed, "You guys sit inside."
Liu Fanyin was puzzled and said softly, "Why did mother buy so many?"
"Not much." Fang Xu raised the corners of his lips, "You and I each have one bowl, Mrs. Zhang has one bowl, Baiji has two bowls, just right."
Liu Fanyin was shocked, looking at Bai Ji beside him, and secretly cursed in his heart.
Can such a skinny girl eat two big bowls?
Bai Ji was so happy that he could not wait to hug his wife and give her a few bites, "Madam is very kind to slaves!"
Fang Xu laughed and led a few people to sit down at the table. Mrs. Zhang took the rules into account and refused to eat at the same table with the master no matter what. Fang Xu had no choice but to open another table for her and Bai Ji.
As soon as Fang Xu sat down, he heard a familiar voice coming from the room.
"Waiter, give me two more cloves of garlic!"
Fang Xu paused, raised his head in surprise, and looked towards the source of the sound.
The woman was holding a big bowl, sipping the soup in the bowl, squatting on the square stool very boldly, holding half a garlic in her hand.
Seeing the woman's appearance clearly, Fang Xu blinked in confusion, got up and walked towards her.
The woman was eating so deliciously that she didn't notice anyone staring at her. She was focused on the soup in the bowl.
"Gu Sisi?"
When she heard someone calling her name, Gu Sisi subconsciously raised her head and met Xu's surprised look above her. Her whole body froze as if struck by lightning.
Fang Xu looked at her posture and frowned slightly, "You..."
Gu Sisi followed her gaze and looked at her, and then she realized what she was doing. She hurriedly sat down and pretended to be calm while grabbing the buns in the bowl.
Fang Xu frowned even more and asked softly, "Ms. Gu, you just stepped on it, don't you think it's dirty if you sit on it directly?"
Gu Sisi's face turned red, she clenched the chopsticks in her hand, and whispered, "Madam... you have recognized the wrong person."
"Mrs. Gu, here comes the garlic you want!" The waiter was carrying the dishes and put the garlic in his hand on the table. "You have been here for the past few days. The shopkeeper is very happy. I will give you a plate of tofu mixed with spring onions. You Slow use!"
I'm afraid that the air will suddenly become quiet...
Fang Xu stared at her, his eyes full of suspicion.
Gu Sisi's expression cracked little by little, she collapsed to the extreme, her defenses were completely broken, and she laughed to herself, "Haha... you all got the wrong person, hahaha..."
Fang Xu was startled by her sudden laughter, frowned and asked, "Mrs. Gu, is your mental state okay?"
Gu Sisi covered her face and was about to cry without tears. Her voice came out from between her fingers, "Don't tell others...please..."
