“What?! You want us to introduce your brother to be a salesman with our brother-in-law?!”
The three brothers of the Zhou family didn’t expect their wives to say it so naturally, and their tone was not asking, but telling.
“No!”
At this time, Father Zhou went out to rush through the door and Mother Zhou heard it from the house. When they walked out of the house, the three brothers of the Zhou family had yet to express their views but Mother Zhou directly objected.
“Why?!”
Sister-in-law Zhou Li shouted sharply.
After thinking about it before going to bed last night, the three women got together again this morning to discuss. Wei Cheng’s grocery store is also recruiting shopkeepers, and they are considering letting their elder brother or younger brother be a shopkeeper. They earn a lot of money every month, and he was recruiting outsiders, it should not be more appropriate to recruit relatives.
With Mother Zhou’s objection, the three of them lost their composure.
“I disagree!”
Mother Zhou’s attitude is rarely so tough.
“Mother, why don’t you agree? What’s wrong with my brother and younger brother going to Wei Cheng’s grocery store? Wei Cheng’s grocery store recruits a lot of people, and our two families are relatives. Wei Cheng can recruit outsiders but he should recruit more people related to him. What’s the matter, if there are too many people, it will be fine if he makes the others resign.” Zhou Li was very dissatisfied.
Zhou Yang said, “Mother, sister-in-law is right. We are all relatives. Wei Cheng is hiring people to work. Isn’t it better to hire relatives than outsiders?”
Zhou Wang immediately explained, “Mother, my husband said last night that my brother-in-law’s grocery store will remove two unqualified peddlers and recruit a few more peddlers. All brothers in our family have no stable livelihood. I want my husband to take someone to the grocery store to be a worker, for the sake of relatives. If my brother-in-law recruits outsiders, it’s better to recruit relatives.”
They still wanted to establish a relationship with Wei Cheng and stuff people into his grocery store.
Mother Zhou glanced at her third daughter-in-law, she was the one who knew how to advance and retreat among the three daughters-in-law. Now that the words sound good, she can tell that she is planning this for her natal brother. It’s not wrong to plan for their natal brothers, the mistake is that they seem to have forgotten one thing, otherwise, she would not be so objectionable to introducing her son-in-law to some relatives In the end, it was his decision whether to recruit his son-in-law or not.
Mother Zhou glanced at her three daughters-in-law, and said sternly, “Have you forgotten what happened last time, how my ger go back to the county alone? I don’t have the shame of asking my son-in-law for help. You guys can go ahead and ask if you want but don’t come to me if you lose any face and say that my son-in-law doesn’t care about his relatives.” And those relatives don’t even have anything to do with the son-in-law.
After Mother Zhou finished speaking, she glared at her sons and told them to take care of their wives, then turned and went back to the house.
The three brothers of the Zhou family sat back in silence. The three daughters-in-law of the Zhou family looked stiff.
At this moment, they remembered that they had a bad relationship with Yuan-ger……
The three brothers of the Zhou family went back to work at the grocery store.
The family issues seemed to have stopped, and their wives didn’t mention letting their brothers work in the grocery store again.

Zhou Yuan’s face was full of doubts. His three older brothers had been caring for him since they returned home from vacation. When they returned from selling goods, they would always bring snacks for him.

“What’s the matter?” Wei Cheng sat on the chair behind the desk and dealt with the matter at hand. He focused on the materials in his hand but he was still able to pay attention to his wife.
Zhou Yuan stopped reading the book, and asked suspiciously, “Husband, don’t you think that eldest brother and the others are abnormal recently? They asked about my health every day, and even buy me candies and preserved fruits, they are treating me like a child.”
“I don’t think so!” Wei Cheng was dissatisfied. He was dissatisfied that the three brothers-in-law took away his job of coaxing his wife.
Zhou Yuan chuckled, “Husband, the eldest brother, and the others didn’t offend you, are you thinking of bad things about my elder brothers?”
Wei Cheng said yes in his heart.
He guessed in his heart that when the three men came home, something happened at home, and seeing the guilt towards his wives in the eyes of the three, it should be something related to his three sisters-in-law.
He won’t tell his wife, lest he think too much.

The house in the suburbs has been built, and the housewarming date for that house has been selected.
Usually, there will be an elder in charge of the family, and there are only two in Wei Cheng’s family. It was the first time that Zhou Yuan had to entertain guests, and he was struggling with which relatives to invite. Wei Cheng didn’t have such troubles, and he was only concerned about the relatives and friends he wanted to invite.
Zhou Yuan couldn’t ask Mother Wei, so he wanted to ask his elder brother to go back and ask his mother.
Wei Cheng murmured, “Ask Aunt Mao, Aunt Mao comes from a wealthy family so she knows these etiquettes best.”
Zhou Yuan’s eyes lit up, and he ran to look for Aunt Mao and got the answer he was looking for. They finally decided which family and friends to invite when having the banquet, they wrote the posts and asked outsiders to write them. He and his husband’s characters could not be given away, and then they sent people to send posts from house to house.
When relatives and friends received the post of Wei Cheng’s housewarming banquet, they had different expressions.
Mother Wei is holding the post, and Father Wei is sitting next to him smoking a pipe.
The second child’s monthly support money has indeed been increased to five taels, and there is a lot of food along with the support money, as well as the sauces that have been sold in the county recently. He opened Xian Manju, opened a grocery store, and now he is hosting a housewarming banquet, it’s really crazy. If it were the eldest, Wei Liang who was so capable, the two of them would be extremely happy, but since it was the second child who had left their hearts, the two of them were in a complicated mood for a while.
They were definitely going, they were all thinking about how to repair the relationship with the second child.
It was a good opportunity to go to the second child’s house this time, and they will have excuses to keep in touch with each other in the future.
“Be sure to tell Zhen’er, and ask her to bring our son-in-law with her. They are both businessmen, so they should have a common topic to talk about.” Father Wei ordered.
“I’ll ask someone to let Zhen’er come back tomorrow.” Mother Wei asked, “Husband, do you want to mention the matter that the eldest wanted to mention to the second?”
Father Wei nodded, “It’s what I want to do.”
“Will he refuse?”
“Probably not.” Father Wei said, “No matter how we say we are his family, we only have to give some money up to get the goods.”
Mother Wei kept her mouth shut, she thought to herself that she didn’t want to give money.
“Old woman, don’t be foolish. It’s more important to have a good relationship with the second child now.” Father Wei raised his voice and scolded her.
Having been together for decades, Father Wei knew what she was up to with just one look from Mother Wei.
“I know, I won’t be confused about this matter.” Mother Wei replied reluctantly.
That was her son, and as a mother, she went to her son’s grocery store to order some goods, and she had to give money.
Mother Wei wasn’t willing!
*
At Qinghe Village.
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou received a post about their son-in-law’s housewarming, and they were very happy that their son-in-law was capable. He opened a grocery store and rebuilt the house. They didn’t know that Wei Cheng also opened a restaurant.
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou wanted to go to their son-in-law’s house for the first time. There should be many relatives and friends coming to the banquet at the son-in-law’s house that day so they won’t stay at home to take care of the children.
Zhou Li and the others saw the post and thought that it was a good opportunity to repair their relationship with Yuan-ger, and they all clamored to go, but they agreed not to go, they couldn’t just leave the children at home to be taken care of by neighbors.
It had to be like this!
Zhou Yuan’s two aunt’s family also received a post about the warming banquet in Wei Cheng, and they responded differently.
Zhou Yuan’s paternal Aunt sneered, thinking that it was just a housewarming in the suburb, no matter what, it was still a suburban house. Her son will be a scholar next year, and a high official in the future. Her daughter is going to marry and live in a big house in the inner county and was gonna be a young mistress.
Zhou Lanlan also disliked it.
The pair of mother and daughter still went that day, and they had to dress up beautifully, to overwhelm the hosts.
At Zhou Yuan’s maternal aunt’s house house, her husband and her son are not at home as they both go out to work. She and her daughter Zhou Xiaorui are the only ones at home.
Aunt Zhou wanted to take her daughter there, and at the same time find a good family for her daughter. After all, Wei Cheng is half a county person, so he must know a lot of county people, and maybe she can find a suitable partner for her daughter.
Zhou Xiaorui doesn’t care!

The day of the housewarming.
There were many things to do and the whole household was busy at home.
Wei Cheng lay on the bed, hugging his wife, unwilling to get up. It was still more comfortable to live at their own home.
“Husband, you are not allowed to stay in bed. You were late yesterday and the day before yesterday. Don’t be late on such an important day.”
Zhou Yuan pushed his husband who was leaning against him with his small hands.
“Yuan Yuan, now that I think about it, why don’t you come and coax me.” Wei Cheng’s lazy nasal voice seemed low and rough in the morning.
Wei Cheng likes his wife’s soft and coaxing voice the most, provocative and unbearable.
Zhou Yuan: “…”
Seeing that his wife was ready to coax him, Wei Cheng laid down, put his arms under his head, and stared at his wife, feeling lucky for the rest of his life.
“…Husband, be good~ wake up.”
The voice is clear and soft, it is still early in the morning, and it is easy to be impulsive when teased… It is a pity that today is a busy day.
Wei Cheng stared at his wife’s pink lips, his thoughts were twisted.
Seeing that there was no response, Zhou Yuan stopped coaxing, “No, if you won’t get up, I will get up by myself.”
Wei Cheng stretched out his arms to hug his wife fiercely, but and before Zhou Yuan could react, he was hugged and kissed.
Afterward, Wei Cheng was satisfied.
“Okay, I’ll get up right now. My husband has an order, so I dare not disobey.”
Zhou Yuan: “…”
Thank You for the new chapter (∩˃o˂∩)♡
For the last sentence, I think the word should be disobey right? ” I dare not disobey”?
Anyway, I think I’ve become numb to these brainless people just out and about in Wei Cheng’s and Zhou Yuan’s life 😮💨
(✿◕‿◕✿) they’re so cute
Thanks for the chapter!
