Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 134 Her Damn Affability
"Fine, we won't stay. Let that old man freeze to death!" Li Ruru cursed.

This person not only dislikes her cooking, but also tries to control her dog.

She even kindly invited him to stay one night, but he still complained.

Li Ruru stormed into the house, and Yin Yin thought for a moment and felt that she needed to convey her mother's words.

Then he ran over to Fang Xingzhi and said, "Grandpa Fang, my mother said she's not staying, and she's going to freeze you to death, you old geezer."

"..."

Silence. Silence filled the air.

After delivering the message, Yinyin went home to sleep.

Left with a fragile heart, Fang Xingzhi stroked his beard, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

He stared blankly at the brightest star in the night sky for a long time. Had he offended Li Ruru to the point of death? Otherwise, why would she call him an old man?

But he didn't do anything. Wasn't what happened at noon today already over?

Fang Xingzhi didn't sleep, and neither did the mosquitoes; they kept buzzing incessantly.

He had to get up and fight the mosquitoes for three hundred rounds before finally finding some mugwort to burn around the straw mat, and only then could he barely fall asleep.

The next morning, the team transporting konjac tofu set off on time.

Li Ruru and Chu Xiu went to the county town together in the car, while Xiao Yishan and Xiao Wu led the young men to continue building houses.

Li Ruru plans to buy some charcoal today; the rainstorm warning in her online space turned red last night.

Although she didn't know if it would rain again, she decided to prepare for the worst and buy some to stock up.

We have no shortage of firewood at home now. Compared to firewood, charcoal is easier to ignite, has a higher calorific value, and burns more stably.

The current price of charcoal is 20 taels of silver per thousand catties, which is still considered cheap.

The oxcart, which had just delivered konjac tofu, was quickly filled up again. Chu Xiu neatly arranged the sacks and quickly tied them up with rope.

He jumped onto the carriage road: "Godmother, let's go home."

Li Ruru said with a smile, "I thought you couldn't carry that sack."

Unexpectedly, he not only took on the task, but also worked quite efficiently.

Chu Xiu touched his face, his face, blackened by charcoal, was full of smiles: "Charcoal is lighter."

Li Ruru pinched his arm and praised, "Not bad, you've gained muscle."

He's gotten much stronger too.

The two chatted and laughed as they drove the oxcart forward. When they passed the Hongfu Restaurant, a maid suddenly rushed over and said, "Wait a moment, madam, please wait a moment."

Both the cow and the man were startled. Chu Xiu held tightly to the cow's rope and it took a lot of effort to control the cow.

He jumped out of the car and said with displeasure, "You little girl, how do you walk?"

He reasonably suspected that the person had ulterior motives for driving straight into someone's oxcart.

Shuya got up and rushed into the restaurant without even brushing off the dust.

Soon, Bai Lu was dragged out by her.

"Ahem, hello Aunt Li." Bai Lu lifted her dress and pointed at Shu Ya. "This is my maid. She was very rude just now. I apologize on her behalf."

Li Ruru jumped off the cart and pointed at Chu Xiu: "This is my servant. He's very good at driving oxcarts."

Chu Xiu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded happily and bowed to Shu Ya, "Miss, I was a little harsh just now, I'm sorry."

Shuya and Bailu saw that Chu Xiu was wearing coarse linen clothes, and his body and face were covered in dirt, so he looked like a servant.

Bai Lu asked curiously, "Aunt Li, do you have servants in your household now?"

Li Ruru smiled and shook her head: "I was just joking with you. This is my godson. What do you think, isn't he handsome?"

Chu Xiu lowered his head when praised, not out of shyness or embarrassment, but because he couldn't suppress his laughter.

"Uh...it's good, it's good." Bai Lu forced a smile. The man's face was so dark that you couldn't see any handsomeness in him, except that his teeth were very white.

"Aunt Li, please come in and sit down. I have something I'd like to ask for your opinion on."

Li Ruru thought she wanted to ask about doing business, so she nodded: "Okay."

The servant helped lead the oxcart to the backyard, and Li Ruru followed Bai Lu into a private room. "Miss Bai, your restaurant is doing quite well today."

They walked through the lobby, past the second floor, and all the way up to the third floor, finding almost no empty seats along the way.

The tables were rarely empty, and neither were the private rooms.

"Thanks to you." Bai Lu sincerely thanked her. Since selling those three people and vigorously promoting konjac tofu, the restaurant's business has visibly improved.

After a brief moment of happiness, Bai Lu sighed again and said, "Aunt Li, my father wants me to get married, but I don't know what to do. I just wanted to ask for your opinion."

"ask me?"

"Ah."

Why are you asking me?

"You seem reliable and very approachable."

Chu Xiu interjected, "I had the same feeling when I first met my godmother."

Bai Lu smiled faintly, and for some reason found that dark face rather cute.

Li Ruru sighed, "Oh, her damned charm."

There's nothing we can do; she's just so charming.

Li Ruru sat up straight and asked, "Who does your father want you to marry?"

"Two candidates: one is the son of Magistrate Chu, and the other is..."

"What?!" Chu Xiu spat out the tea he had just drunk.

Shuya gave him a disdainful look and handed him a handkerchief: "Hurry up and wipe yourself. What's all the fuss about? What? Is my young lady not good enough for that spoiled brat from the county magistrate's family?"

Chu Xiu never expected that his trip to buy charcoal would lead him to such a juicy piece of gossip.

When did his father arrange his marriage? How come he didn't know?!

Father wouldn't deliberately hide it from him, but would he get him drunk and send him to the bridal chamber later?

That's too... insidious.

It was insidious to Bailu, but it was just as treacherous to him.

Chu Xiu did not want to get married, and even less did he want to get married so that his father could have a grandson.

He couldn't understand why it was so difficult for him; he simply didn't want to get married.

His father usually verbally pressured him, but this time he actually resorted to underhanded tactics.

Is this really his father? Absolutely... despicable!
Shuya saw that Chu Xiu was not speaking and was thinking about something, and was still wiping her face with her handkerchief.

I wiped her white handkerchief until it was black, and she didn't even say thank you.

Shuya said angrily, "You have no manners at all."

Chu Xiu wasn't thinking about anything else; all he wanted was to go home and confront his father.

He stood up abruptly and said, "I have to go."

Li Ruru didn't know what he was going to do, but she didn't stop him. She just said, "Go home early, we'll cook something delicious tonight."

"Hmm." Chu Xiu nodded and was about to walk out when he heard Bai Lu say, "I would never marry the magistrate's son. We are not on the same path."

"Who is the other one? What is his character like?" Li Ruru asked.

She had never met the magistrate's son and couldn't comment on him.

However, sons of powerful fathers are generally not very good; most of them are spoiled brats.

“The other one is Nie Tianlei, the illegitimate son of the Nie family medical clinic,” Su Ya said.

Seeing that the young lady hesitated for a long time without speaking, she answered for her directly.

"My young lady doesn't want to get married, but the master and madam are urging her. She doesn't know what to do, so she wants Aunt Li to give her some advice."

You've been married for many years, so you should know how to judge whether someone is a suitable marriage partner, right?
