Early on the next morning, brothers Deng Nanzhi and Deng Nanhe, together with their wives, and a group of four people carrying gifts, walked into the Chu family's shop.
At that time, the Chu family's three shops had just opened. Gao Tongshan saw that the four people who came in looked like they were going to buy something, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Are you guys looking for our shop?"
Deng Nanzhi stepped forward and replied, "That's right. I would like to ask if Boss Chu and his wife are here. Could you please tell me that the Deng family from Yuelai Inn has something to visit."
"Guys, wait a minute."
Chu Yi and Uncle Chu, who were in the west courtyard, were startled when they heard that someone from the Deng family was coming. Uncle Chu frowned and looked at Chu Yi and said, "Have you already rejected the matchmaker, why are the Deng's still here with gifts?"
Chu Yi didn't know what was going on, but he was already in the front shop, so there was no reason why he should not be allowed in, so he said: "It's okay, Third Uncle, maybe it's something else. Master Gao, let me clean up." Just go and open the courtyard door, please ask them to wait a moment."
After Gao Tongshan left, Chu Yi told Xue Changshan: "Changshan goes to find your wife and asks her to go to the hall in the east courtyard and wait for me."
"I understand, Master."
Shen Lu Zhuzheng and Chu Xiuxiu were washing the dishes used for breakfast in the kitchen. When they heard Xue Changshan calling them, they hurriedly responded: "Changshan, I'm in the kitchen, what's wrong?"
"Master, there are guests at home. Master asked you to go to the main room."
This early in the morning, Shen Luzhu raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Do you know who it is?"
"I heard from Master Gao that it was the Deng family from Yuelai Inn who came with a gift. Master went to open the courtyard gate to welcome people. He asked me to call Master Niang."
As soon as Xue Changshan finished speaking, there was a "pop" sound, and the bowls and chopsticks in Chu Xiuxiu's hands fell to the ground. Shen Luzhu hurriedly knelt down to check: "Did Xiu Xiu hurt her hand?"
"There is no cousin-in-law, it's just that I wasn't sure at the moment."
Seeing that no one was hurt, Shen Luzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine, just be careful and don't pick it up with your hands."
Just as he said that, Xue Changshan had already brought a broom from the yard: "Master, I will clean it up. You can go to the main room and do your work."
"Sure, then I'll leave this place to you. Xiuxiu help me go to the west courtyard and look after Zhengzheng."
Chu Xiuxiu was a little at a loss. She hadn't told her cousin-in-law about what happened yesterday. She didn't know what the purpose of the Deng family's visit today was. When she saw Shen Luzhu took off her apron and was about to go to the hall, she hurriedly said: "Cousin-in-law, yesterday indivual……"
Shen Luzhu turned around and smiled at Chu Xiuxiu reassuringly: "It's okay, Xiuxiu, don't worry. If anything happens, we'll talk about it when I come back. Go quickly."
"But……"
"I know, don't worry."
Shen Luzhu knew what Chu Xiuxiu wanted to say to him, but it was not the time to talk about it now.
The Deng family was led all the way to the main room in the east courtyard by Chu Yi. At this time, Shen Luzhu and Uncle Chu were already waiting inside.
Seeing this, Deng Nanzhi hurriedly led everyone to greet him and said, "Uncle Chu, Boss Chu, the boss's wife, and juniors have come to visit us rashly. I'm really sorry for this. Please forgive me."
My third brother's behavior yesterday was really impulsive and rude. My father and mother felt very guilty when they found out about it, and they had already taught me a lesson. I wanted to come and apologize in person, but I was afraid of being reprimanded. I just sent a few of us juniors to come here with a few small gifts and hope Uncle Chu's family can forgive me. "
Deng Nanzhi's words made Chu Sanshu and Chu Yi, who were already a little confused, even more confused. Just as they were about to ask, Shen Luzhu on the side took over.
The other party took the initiative to call Third Uncle Chu Uncle uncle, and Shen Luzhu naturally had to change his tune and call Boss Deng and his wife uncle and aunt: "Guys, please sit down and talk. Uncle and Aunt Deng are so polite. It's such a trivial matter, why do you need to come and apologize in person? "
Looking at this situation, his wife knew what happened, so Chu Yi stopped worrying and cooperated: "That's right, don't worry about it, please take a seat quickly."
Deng Nanzhi took the lead and saluted Third Uncle Chu before taking his seat.
Everyone from the Deng family came to apologize today. The Deng family apologized with full sincerity, and the Chu family was very magnanimous. This matter can be considered a turning point. Since the matter went smoothly,
After the family sat for a while, they asked to say goodbye.
As the young couple went out to see each other off, Deng Nanzhi walked out of the Chu family's main room, thought about it all the way, and finally decided to help his third brother: "Boss Chu, can you lend me a moment to speak."
Chu Yi paused for a moment, then led the person to the side of his warehouse: "Master Deng, just say whatever you want."
Chu Yi and Deng Nanzhi went to the side to talk alone. Shen Luzhu accompanied the other three people and chatted aside. After a while, they sent the four Deng family members out of the hospital again.
Chu Yi squeezed his wife's hand and said, "The youngest son of the Deng family came here yesterday? Why haven't you heard A Zhu mention it?"
"Actually, I didn't see anyone. It was my cousin who came to tell me. She heard a noise in the west courtyard yesterday afternoon, so she went out to take a look and saw someone walking out. Xiuxiu's face didn't look right either. , my cousin asked. Xiuxiu said that it was the young master of the Deng family who came to deliver a message for Ah Li, but her cousin felt that something was wrong. She was afraid that something had happened to Xiuxiu, and she was embarrassed to tell her that she had just returned home at night. He mentioned it to me in front of home."
Chu Yi nodded and said, "I didn't hear Xiuxiu and Ah Li mention it. I think it was just Xiu Xiu's excuse. Has Ah Zhu asked?"
Speaking of this, Shen Luzhu sighed and said, "I originally wanted to ask Xiuxiu last night, but I left the house and came back as soon as I thought about it."
Chu Yi looked at his wife with some confusion: "Why is this?"
"Maybe I'm overthinking it. I always feel that Xiuxiu may not have any feelings for the Deng family's youngest son. When Matchmaker Tan came to the door that day, I was talking about this with Xiuxiu. At that time, she Suddenly she didn't want to go out. When I asked, I found out that she had guessed that Deng Nanxun liked her.
At that time, I asked her what she thought of Deng Nanxun, and I felt that Xiuxiu didn't hate him. But then Matchmaker Tan came to the door, and the family brought up the matter of recruiting a son-in-law. I originally thought of asking father and daughter to chat. Whether it was a chat or not, maybe the third uncle would be less anxious if he knew something, but he didn't expect that Xiuxiu actually agreed to recruit a son-in-law. "
Chu Yi also sighed and said, "No wonder A Zhu reacted like that that day. It's my fault."
"It's also my fault. I promised Xiu Xiu at that time. Only the two of us knew about it, so I didn't tell you. But I didn't want to end up in this situation by some mistake.
If my guess is correct, then Xiuxiu must be feeling more uncomfortable than anyone else right now, but she didn't come to tell us that the youngest son of the Deng family came to see her, so she probably didn't waver in her idea of recruiting a son-in-law. I really I don’t know what to say to Xiuxiu after asking her about this. Should I advise her to pursue happiness, or should I support her in recruiting a son-in-law? "
Chu Yi patted his wife's hand gently and comforted him: "The third uncle is not a domineering elder. On the contrary, he wants to be happy more than anyone else. It's just that caring leads to chaos. That's why we got this misunderstanding. It's a mistake to recruit a son-in-law." It’s not that I have to do it, but does Ah Zhu know what the eldest son of the Deng family said to me just now?”
"What did you say?"
Chu Yi said: "The eldest son of the Deng family asked me if our family had to recruit a son-in-law. He said that Deng Nanxun had been in trouble several times because his family refused to let him marry into the family. Yesterday, he was taught a hard lesson by Boss Deng. , but he also threatened that he would not marry anyone other than Xiuxiu, saying that as long as Xiuxiu also likes him, he will stick to it to the end and plans to fight a long-term war of resistance with our family and his own. "
"Then how did you reply to him?"
"I didn't give him a clear reply, but now it seems that we can help the Deng family guys."
After hearing this, Shen Luzhu knew that Chu Yi must have had an idea: "How are you going to help?"
Chu Yi smiled and said: "If he wants to marry our Xiuxiu, he has to work hard on his own, but I can send him a message."
Chu Xiuxiu absentmindedly looked after Zhengzheng in the west courtyard, stretching her neck from time to time and looking towards the east courtyard through the arch between the east and west courtyards. The Deng family had been gone for a long time and they had not seen their cousins come back. Zhengzheng Puzzled, he saw Shen Luzhu walking into the west courtyard.
"Cousin, you know everything, right? Dad..."
Shen Luzhu smiled reassuringly at Chu Xiuxiu: "Well, your sister from the Jiang family was a little worried about you yesterday, so she told me that my third uncle has your cousin. Don't worry, it'll be fine. It's nothing serious. thing
Son, you look so nervous. "
"Cousin, I'm sorry for causing trouble to you and my cousin. I should have told you yesterday."
"It's okay to say more. It's not normal for a little girl's family to have a little secret. The Deng family is just here to apologize for Deng Nanxun."
Seeing Chu Xiuxiu nodding, Shen Luzhu raised his eyebrows and said as if chatting: "Normally, Deng Nanxun should be asked to come in person to apologize to our Xiuxiu, but I heard from the Deng family that he was severely punished by Boss Deng yesterday. After a while, he didn’t show up today, I guess he was injured too badly.”
On the other side, Chu Yi and Uncle Chu who were waiting in the main room explained the matter of the Deng family's visit today, but they just concealed the matter of Chu Xiuxiu and said: "Yesterday, the youngest son of the Deng family came to the house, and was picked up by A Zhu. The Deng family felt a little rude when they blocked it, so they came to apologize."
"The Deng family is kind and polite, but why is their youngest son like this?"
Chu Yi explained: "He fell in love with Xiuxiu of our family, and then the Deng family found a matchmaker to propose marriage. After getting the answer from the matchmaker, he begged his parents to allow him to come into the marriage. The Deng family naturally refused, thinking about it. Please beg our family again.”
Uncle Chu's eyes widened when he heard this. He originally thought that the Deng family's parents fell in love with his daughter, but he didn't expect that it was the Deng family boy who fell in love with his daughter first and was so infatuated with it. However, he didn't think about it further. He said, "That's inevitable. As for any family that can still survive, who would allow their son to marry into the family? What's more, it's the Deng family who does this business."
Chu Yi nodded when he heard the words, deliberately distorting Uncle Chu's meaning, and said as if unintentionally: "Uncle Three is right, there are indeed too few good ones to recruit a son-in-law. I heard that there are still people who choose from thousands of people, and finally recruit them." He is a man with ulterior motives and has made the house restless."
"Ayi, where did you hear this..."
Before Third Uncle Chu could finish speaking, Chu Yi stood up and said, "Stop talking about Third Uncle, the coffin in the west courtyard hasn't been polished yet, so I'll go work first."
As soon as Deng Nanzhi and his party arrived home, Deng's mother took her to the backyard and asked about the situation: "How is it? Are the Chu family giving you any trouble?"
"No, Aniang and Chu's family are all very kind, and they didn't blame the third child."
"That's good..."
Just as he was talking, the guy from the front yard suddenly ran over: "Master, there was a guy from the Chu family just now, saying that his boss has something to give to you."
As the boy spoke, he handed over the wooden box in his hand. Mother Deng said somewhat puzzledly: "Boss, could it be that you left something at Chu's house?"
Deng Nanzhi was also a little puzzled. He reached out to take the wooden box, opened it and found a note inside: Sincerity leads to gold and stone.
