Cheng Xi would definitely not reject such a good deal. As long as she did not drag Xu Sanlang along to be his helper in the casino, it would be fine.
In fact, Cheng Xi had thought about it in her heart. Although Yu Zhaocai was not a good person, bad people had their own benefits, and the worse a person was, the more deterring they would be, and if there was any trouble in the future, having a notorious bad person to protect them from, it would still be good. Furthermore, after knowing Yu Zhaocai for so long, Cheng Xi had not done anything bad.
Hearing Yu Zhaocai's words, Cheng Xi revealed a sincere smile, and spoke to Yu Zhaocai: "Alright, if there's anything, I won't be polite with you, don't stand guard here all the time, go do what you need to do."
When Yu Zhaocai saw that Cheng Xi did not treat her like how he used to, with no nose nor eyes, he actually laughed so happily, and knew that Cheng Xi truly did not want to see the good days that she would have with Xu Sanlang, and this was the first time she had seen such a woman. She could only sigh helplessly and ask, "Why are you so unenlightened, you can only have good days."
Cheng Xi did not hold back, "I actually have a good life ahead of me, you dare say that Xu Sanlang is living a good life with you, I can see that you are thinking of living a good life, but otherwise, how could you be in such a sorry state?"
Yu Zhaocai embarrassedly touched his nose, coughed and changed the topic, "Your place is too crowded, there is an empty courtyard nearby, do you want to move in?"
Cheng Xi shook his head and said, "Since you call Xu Sanlang your little brother Brother Xu, then we will be friends in the future. But as brothers, we will repay each other later on, so there's no need to mention about this matter anymore.
This was the first time he had seen such an intelligent woman, and his heart was as clear as a mirror. He had initially wanted to use material and money as a form of gratitude, but now, he sincerely wanted to become friends with her, but since he was a friend, he smiled and said, "Alright, I won't mention it, but since we're here, I will definitely come back in the future. Don't be like the previous times, you have to chase people away."
Cheng Xi laughed and said, "As long as you don't pester my Xu Sanlang every day, you will definitely not be in a hurry."
"Mrs Xu, you must have misunderstood. My young master didn't have that intention, my young master only appreciates Young Master Xu's bravery, she definitely won't have that intention. Young Master even said yesterday that he likes me."
After listening to Xiao Yue'er's explanation, Cheng Xi's head was filled with black lines. As expected, a master would have his own maid, yet no one knew what was in her head.
When Yu Zhaocai heard this, he was also speechless. He picked up the fan in his hand and knocked on Yue Ya'er's head.
Xiao Yue'er pouted, staring at Yu Zhaocai in dissatisfaction, and said grievingly, "Why did you hit me? "Could it be … could it be that you've really taken a fancy to Young Master Xu?" As soon as she said that, tears began to well up in her eyes.
Towards this kind of high quality crescent moon, Cheng Xi was speechless, but when she saw Yu Zhaocai's furious face, who she didn't know how to explain it to her, she instantly turned speechless into gloating. She did not intend to explain anything to Yue Ya'er on behalf of Yu Zhaocai, and when she stopped washing her clothes, she called out to the two of them, "I'll go and see if Xu Sanlang has drank any medicine yet." After that, he slipped away like a wisp of smoke.
From this time onwards, Yu Zhaocai had indeed come less and less, and every once in a while, he was monitored by Yue Ya'er. Especially when Yu Zhaocai saw his, Yue Ya'er would act like a spy and keep watch over him, so after saying a few more words, Yue Ya'er would start looking for trouble with Yu Zhaocai and drag him away.
She didn't expect Yu Zhaocai to have something that he couldn't explain himself. No matter how he tried to explain, Yueyue remained cautious, but Cheng Xi didn't try to help Yu Zhaocai explain it. Every time the two of them came over and saw the interaction between the two of them, he would laugh so hard.
, who didn't know the situation, had a baffled expression. When he finally got the reason from Cheng Xi's mouth, the moment Xu Sanlang saw him come over to see him again, his expression would turn bad. Although this was only Yueyue's imagination, Xu Sanlang still felt uncomfortable.
But after what had happened, the two of them now knew, even though Yu Zhaocai was usually extremely fierce towards Yue Ya'er, in truth, Yue Ya'er was not just an ordinary servant girl by Yu Zhaocai's side, she was Yu Zhaocai's precious child.
During this period of time, with the help of Xiong Da and Xiong Er, there was no delay in the restaurant at all. After Yu Zhaocai ran around the kitchen everyday, of course, he could not hide it from the Shopkeeper Xia in front of him, but the Shopkeeper Xia also seemed to be quite afraid of Yu Zhaocai. Not only did he not say anything, he was even very polite to Xu Sanlang.
Xu Sanlang had recuperated from Cheng Xi's orders for a month, the wound had finally started to drop its scab, and could start working on its own. Xiong Da and Xiong Er also successfully retreated back to Yu Zhaocai's side, and everything finally went back on track.
The Chief Zhao gradually gave way and was willing to be Cheng Xi's assistant. She produced such an outstanding disciple, even if it was for her, but it was not because of her talent, but because of her talent.
As an assistant, his disciple was grinning from ear to ear.
As for the business inside the restaurant, it was also gradually getting better. This was all thanks to Cheng Xi's "unconventional way of doing things".
It was still the same dish that her master had taught her. With just a little bit of effort, the dishes would look good if they were served on the table, and with the beautiful scent, which was even better than the Chief Zhao's, the business in the restaurant gradually started to flourish.
Shopkeeper Xia, who had originally wanted to win over Cheng Xi and her wife, had a rare moment of peace when he went to discuss the matter of giving the two of them money. After Shopkeeper Xia reported this to his boss, the two people's monthly money rose to 800 gold from 600.
Their life went smoothly, but the two of them had forgotten about the troubles at home.
The weather had gradually turned cold, and it looked like winter was approaching. It had been more than two months since they had returned.
Cheng Xi had fully recovered from her injuries and decided to mention the matter of going back. Cheng Xi had thought about it for more than two months, if she did not send the money back, she would be worried that Xu Sanlang's grandmother would come to the county to cause trouble for them. Furthermore, she also wanted to go back to take a look.
After asking Xiong Da and Xiong Er to help them for two days, Xu Sanlang and left the restaurant early in the morning. They planned to go onto the streets to buy some gifts they could take back with them before returning to the Stone Bridge Village.
Because they were usually very busy, the two of them rarely came out of the restaurant. Finally, they came out, and due to it being still early, Cheng Xi was in a good mood as she pulled Xu Sanlang along to stroll around with her.
Because Xu Sanlang was injured a while ago, he had a large pile of supplements and under Cheng Xi's supervision, after some careful recuperation, he had become even stronger than before. His skin was also much whiter, so it was possible that he wouldn't be able to recognize him if he didn't look carefully.
Cheng Xi also changed a little. She was taller than before and her skin was whiter than before.
The two were wearing the cotton clothes that Cheng Xi had bought for them. Cheng Xi originally had a very attractive face, and her facial features were not bad either, but now, she was not as dark as before. Adding to that, with her clothing, Cheng Xi gave her a good cleaning, and the two of them walked together.
Cheng Xi, on the other hand, did not care about those gazes at all, but instead, felt a little uncomfortable. After walking a few rounds, after she had pretty much bought all the things she needed, she could not help but say, "It's getting late, when are we leaving?"
Cheng Xi pointed to the Pearl Flower Headwear shop in front and replied, "Let's go inside and take a look."
With that said, he pulled Xu Sanlang's sleeves and headed back to the shop.
After entering, Cheng Xi was extremely regretful that she would actually be unlucky enough to meet those people.
Upon entering, Cheng Xi was immediately attracted by the exquisite wooden hairpin, and did not notice who was looking at the beaded flowers, and even ignored Xu Sanlang who was frowning at the side and wanted to pull her away when no one was looking.
When Cheng Xi raised her head in confusion, and asked Xu Sanlang: "What's wrong?", it was already too late when Xu Sanlang wanted to pull Cheng Xi away, the group of people watching the bead flower had already raised their heads and looked at them.
