"At this time, they came to break off the engagement. Although it is not my problem, my family will inevitably bear some gossip. It is me who has brought trouble to my family."
"And my marriage will be more difficult in the future."
There is nothing wrong with her thinking about her marriage at this time.
Shen Zhiyao thought for a moment, then continued to look at her and said, "As the saying goes, a man is afraid that his ex-fiancée will have a good life. Instead of thinking about what the future marriage will be like, why not think about how to slap the scumbag in the face?"
"Ah?" Chen Cuihua didn't quite follow her train of thought, but still asked subconsciously: "How to slap her in the face?"
Shen Zhiyao: "Think about it, why did Wang Scumbag suddenly regret his marriage? Is it love, responsibility, or do you have no money?"
Chen Cuihua lowered her eyes: "It's because I have no money, I'm not as good as the girls in the town."
"No!" Shen Zhiyao shook his head.
"ah?"
"It's the scumbag man and his family who are not good enough. You are not as good as the girls in the town, and we women shouldn't compare ourselves to such a man who is like a scrap of food. It's just because you have no money."
Um?
How come it's because she has no money?
Chen Cuihua felt dizzy.
"So do you understand what you need to do?"
"do what?"
"Earn money, think about it, if you make a lot of money and your life gets better and better, and one day you meet Wang Scumbag, he will be far inferior to you and can only look up to you. He will definitely look up to you at night. Tossing and turning, regretting why I broke off the engagement with you in the first place, and torturing myself, wouldn’t this be a slap in the face for you, wouldn’t it be nice?”
Following Shen Zhiyao's words, Chen Cuihua seemed to see the scene she described in her mind.
The sorrow in my heart immediately dissipated a lot.
"It's really cool."
Shen Zhiyao kept up his efforts: "So let's get money."
Chen Cuihua was beaten with chicken blood, and her tone was a bit hopeful: "Okay, make money and slap the scumbag in the face."
"First tell me what you know." Shen Zhiyao drove the donkey cart across the city gate.
Chen Cuihua withered instantly: "I only know a little needlework."
"It's enough to know how to sew. You can help me sew something first tomorrow."
After arriving home, Shen Zhiyao first told Shen Baiqiu something, and then after asking for Shen Yueya's opinion, she arranged for Chen Cuihua to stay in Shen Yueya's room, and then Shen Yueya lived in the same room with her.
Shen Yueya was very happy about this, and she wanted to sleep with her sister.
After Chen Cuihua saw Shen Zhiyao's house, she secretly thought: Well, you have to make money to live in such a big house.
A few days before the restaurant was about to open, Shen Zhiyao stopped setting up a stall and concentrated on preparing for the restaurant.
She bought some breathable cloth the next day, gave the cloth to Chen Cuihua, and told her the appearance of the items that needed to be sewn.
Then she went to the restaurant to arrange tables and chairs, to purchase ingredients and clay bricks, and even took time to go to the village to buy some things.
During this period, Lin Suxin came over to help her.
In the evening, Chen Hu carried two buckets to Shen Zhiyao's home in Qinglian Lane.
"Sister Zhiyao, these two buckets are crayfish, and what he is carrying are snails."
Along with Chen Hu was Shen Shuisheng.
Shen Zhiyao told Chen Hu their home address yesterday, and asked Chen Hu to help continue collecting crayfish and snails, and find friends to deliver them to them. Unexpectedly, Chen Hu was looking for Shen Shuisheng.
"Give it all to me."
"Huzi, Bai Qiu is about to finish school. Come and sit down first. You will stay at my house tonight and go back tomorrow."
Shen Zhiyao asked Shen Yueya to take them into the house. She easily carried two buckets of crayfish and poured them into the large tank she just bought.
The snails were also put into another large tank.
As soon as Shen Zhiyao finished dumping the snails, Shen Baiqiu came back carrying a book bag.
Seeing Chen Hu, Shen Baiqiu happily stepped over and called him, and also greeted Shen Shuisheng beside him.
However, he looked like he was not familiar with Shen Shuisheng.
Seeing this, Shen Zhiyao was a little curious.
While cooking in the kitchen, she asked Chen Cuihua, who was lighting the fire for her: "Which family is Shuisheng's child from?"
She didn't know much about the Shen clan in Lihua Village.
Chen Cuihua said: "Shui Sheng is the grandson of Patriarch Shen's cousin. His grandparents have passed away. His father was a hunter in the village, but one night seven years ago, he slipped and fell into the river and drowned."
"After Shui Sheng's father died, Shui Sheng's mother was also depressed and left within two years. After that, Shui Sheng didn't spend much time with the children in the village. When I saw him every day, he was basically working. There was only Chief Shen in the village. Take care of him often."
"I heard from Huzi that Chief Shen asked Shui Sheng to come with him today."
"That's it." Shen Zhiyao stir-fried the vegetables and put them on the plate.
After dinner, Shen Zhiyao moved out the clay bricks he bought today and some soil from the village.
She quickly started to set up in a corner of the yard.
"Sister Zhiyao, what are you doing here?" Chen Hu and Shen Shuisheng walked out of the room.
Shen Zhiyao looked sideways at them and said, "Why are you out here?"
"Bai Qiu is reading a book. We are afraid of disturbing him." Chen Hu took a few steps closer and looked at the soil on the ground curiously: "Sister Zhiyao, what do you want to do, can I help you?"
"Okay, then come and help lay the bricks."
She wants to make a bread kiln.
Chen Hu and Shen Shuisheng got started quickly under Shen Zhiyao's command. Later, Shen Yueya also ran over to watch together.
Only part of the bread kiln was built that night. After Chen Hu and Shen Shuisheng left early the next morning, Shen Zhiyao started making the bread kiln alone again.
In the next few days, Chen Hu and Shen Shuisheng sent some crayfish and snails to Shen Zhiyao every day. Some were collected in Lihua Village, and some were obtained from other villages.
When Shen Zhiyao sent them here on the first day, she told them to take the donkey cart from the town to the county every day instead of walking, and she would reimburse the travel expenses.
After a busy few days.
On the morning of July 20th, Shen Ji ran out of food and opened on time!
There is a stove in the restaurant. Shen Zhiyao moved some ingredients there the night before. This morning, she prepared breakfast directly in the restaurant.
When she, Chen Cuihua, Lin Suxin, and Shen Yueya arrived at the restaurant, they found that Mrs. Wu was already waiting at the door.
Shen Zhiyao put up the ladder and reached out to untie the restaurant plaque.
"My boss, congratulations on the opening." Madam Wu handed her a bag of rice and a basket of vegetables as a congratulatory gift, with a fish placed among the vegetables.
"Zhiyao, I also have a gift for you." Lin Suxin took out a red rope that she had knitted.
Then, she handed the scroll of calligraphy and painting she had been holding to Shen Zhiyao: "This is for you Jinglan."
Shen Zhiyao opened it and read the four words "Prosperous Wealth Luck" written in majestic, vigorous and powerful writing.
"Zhiyao, this is mine." Chen Cuihua took out a handkerchief with a horse's head embroidered on it.
"Thank you everyone." Shen Zhiyao collected the gifts one by one and began to divide the work.
Judging from the location of Shen Ji Shiguang and the passenger flow in nearby restaurants she observed during this period, Shen Zhiyao was going to make a pot of porridge, some wontons and steamed buns in the morning.
