Qin Manzhi opened the door and saw a strange woman standing at the door. She couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"You are?"
"Hey, I'm from the Yao family at the end of the alley. My surname is Tao. Just call me Aunt Tao." Mrs. Tao didn't know how to live, so she squeezed in through the crack in the door. "You must be the mother-in-law of the village girl. She looks like a
He is a kind person and easy to get along with."
Qin Manzhi seldom went out, and not many people recognized her in the alley, but that didn't stop Mrs. Tao from opening her mouth to praise her at this time.
So even she didn't realize what was going on. The old woman had already entered the small courtyard.
Dahei's mule shed was not far from the courtyard gate. When he saw a stranger coming in, he screamed "Ang!" and Mrs. Tao almost jumped up.
"Oh, there's an animal here!"

She stroked her chest and smiled awkwardly, then turned to look at other parts of the courtyard.
Opposite the neat vegetable bed is a chicken pen, in which five chickens are chirping and pecking at the rice on the ground.
Sure enough, he made money, and even this chicken can eat rice!
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Tao made up her mind to work here. After thinking about it, she turned her head and smiled at Qin Manzhi enthusiastically.
"Speaking of which, the first time I saw your daughter-in-law, I knew she was a capable woman. Her buns are better than those made by the Jiang family!"
This nonsense sentence made Qin Manzhi confused.
What daughter-in-law?
My daughter-in-law?
Who was she talking about? Could it be Ke'er?
"Later, he opened this tofu shop. He is really a clever person!"
Mrs. Tao didn't notice Qin Manzhi's expression, she just tried every means to praise her, and at the end she even scolded the Jiang family.
"It's a pity that the Jiang family has benefited from the girl's kindness. I didn't see any thank you gifts. They are really ignorant."
She thought that the other party would respond to her words, but Qin Manzhi frowned and said nothing.
Isn’t this stupid? You’ve said so much and you don’t even know what to say in reply?
Mrs. Tao murmured in her heart, but the enthusiasm on her face remained undiminished and became even warmer. She praised how well the yard was kept and how strong the animals were.
He wears a high hat and wears a close hat.
But before she could establish a good relationship, the courtyard door was pushed open again, and two scholars came in from the outside.
One had a cold temperament, while the other was enthusiastic. Mrs. Tao both turned around to look at her, and both praised her good looks in their hearts.
These two people were Shen Ling and Li Shoucheng.
The little scholar found some math questions from nowhere today and said that he wanted to ask Zhuang Keqing for help. Shen Ling couldn't shirk him, so he shamelessly chased him all the way home. At this time, he was in a bad mood and faced him.
As heavy as water.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw a guest at home, but he did not lose his etiquette, so he bowed to Qin Manzhi first.

"mother."
Next to him, Li Shoucheng bowed obediently and said hello.
When Qin Manzhi saw the two young men, his expression suddenly changed and he responded with a smile, but accidentally left Mrs. Tao aside.
But obviously Mrs. Tao didn't want to let go of the opportunity to get close to the scholar, not to mention that the person who was with Shen Xiucai was also a scholar?
"What a filial son."
With a smile on her face, she held her hands and came forward. She was full of praise, "My son is good at reading. He was admitted as a scholar and studied in a government school. My wife is very capable and opened this good shop. Let me tell you, you are truly a blessed person."
These words were obviously meant to praise Shen Ling and Zhuang Keqing, but they were actually praising Qin Manzhi.
According to Mrs. Tao's opinion, in this family, if the son is studying, he will definitely not interfere with the affairs of the shop. The daughter-in-law is married from an outsider, and there is no way that she can get ahead of her mother-in-law. Therefore, the recruitment matter must be like this. The woman has the final say.
But who would have thought that when she said this flattery, Qin Manzhi not only failed to put on a smile as she wanted, but the scholar beside her even frowned.
"This is my mother-in-law. I wonder where you misunderstood me?"

"Uh, huh?"
This time, not only Mrs. Tao, but also Li Shoucheng looked surprised.
What do you mean? This woman is not the scholar’s biological mother, but the mother-in-law?
Mrs. Tao suddenly felt that her mind was in a mess and she couldn't figure out the details.
Didn’t that girl always say her surname was Zhuang? Didn’t even this tofu shop clearly say “Zhuang’s Tofu Shop”? Logically speaking, this family’s surname is Zhuang.
But she also remembered that this scholar was named Shen, so what was the situation of this family?
Mrs. Tao looked embarrassed for a moment. She always felt that something was wrong, but it was difficult to say. She wanted to say a few words casually, but Shen Ling spoke again.
"My wife's surname is Zhuang, and my surname is Shen. I'm here to marry you, so please don't talk nonsense with others."
"..."
Xiang Gong, a scholar with a handsome figure and clear features, looked cold, but what he said was unexpected.

Mrs. Tao couldn't even maintain her polite and considerate smile this time, and looked astonished from ear to ear.
Which man is so willing to mention that he is a live-in son-in-law? Why does this talented gentleman seem to be unwilling to be misunderstood and insists on making it clear to him?
Isn't it okay to just misunderstand each other? We are all neighbors, who knows who is who?
Li Shoucheng on the side was also extremely surprised and could not say a word.
He originally envied Brother Shen for being able to marry a smart and virtuous wife like Miss Zhuang, but now he didn't dare to do it at all. His father would break his legs if he asked for a wife to come to the door.
Mrs. Tao didn't answer, but Shen Ling obviously didn't take it to heart.
For him, getting married is not an unspeakable word, it is just the fact, and there is no need to hide it. And this is an act based on his own heart. In other words, after meeting Keer and joining the banker, he feels deep in his heart Still a little lucky.
The four of them stood in the small courtyard. No one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere was mixed with inexplicable embarrassment and weirdness.
Zhuang Keqing saw this scene as soon as he came back.
"Mom, Aling, you guys come back and pull me, eh? Mr. Li, and Grandma Tao?"

The girl's eyebrows were curved, her smile was bright, she walked into the small courtyard with a big carp in her hand, and greeted several people one by one.
It was Shen Ling who made the first move.
He turned sideways, stepped forward, and reached out to catch the carp. Without any sense of a gentleman traveling far away from the kitchen, he directly sent the fish into the kitchen and filled a basin of water to raise it.
Mrs. Tao's eyes almost popped out of her sockets.
This is a show of talent and mutual respect!
Even her own son didn't have to do any work when he returned home, let alone carrying fish and fetching water. The food had to be served well by the wife before she would even use her chopsticks!
But the banker's girl and her own mother seemed not to be surprised at all, and kept telling them which basin to use and not to fill the water too full. It was simply unbelievable!
Before Mrs. Tao could recover from the extreme shock, Zhuang Keqing came to her and asked with a smile.
"Aunt Tao, is there something wrong with your visit today?"
This mention brought Mrs. Tao back to her senses immediately.

No matter who he is, he is a scholar or he is married into a wife, this matter that is up to heaven is not as important as his own work.
This time she also seemed to have a clear mind. It seemed that this girl was in charge of this family!
"Girl, grandma just wanted to ask if you have found a job as a bean shop worker?"
Rubbing her hands, the old woman smiled fawningly and said, "If you haven't been recruited yet, what do you think of grandma?"
"You may not think that I am old, but my body is very strong. In the past, in the countryside, I could even pull the plow in the field."
Zhuang Keqing was stunned. She didn't expect that Aunt Tao came to the door for this matter, let alone that she recommended herself.
But although she didn't show any clues on her face, she already rejected it in her heart.
Grandma Tao seems to have a warm temperament, but she has talked about people behind their backs in the past, and has been flirting with the Jiang family in the past. She is really not a loyal and honest person. If she is asked to help from home, there will definitely be trouble.
Some trouble is coming.
It's just a matter of being told some nonsense. If the other party has any thoughts, I can't guard against it.
"Grandma Tao, this is not urgent."

Zhuang Keqing spoke softly, but as soon as the words came out, Mrs. Tao's face turned down a little. How could she not understand that she was obviously trying to fight against her at such an old age?
Huh, not in a hurry? Why not in a hurry? For someone as old as me, I want to come to your door to ask for help in person, but I still want to shirk it?
This girl looks honest, but she turns out to be slippery!
