After greeting, it was already dinner time, so the old lady wanted to keep them both to eat in her yard.

Cui Qiyuan was a guest, so he should be treated well. However, he was a foreign man after all, and there were women in his family, so it was inconvenient for men and women to mix together. He still felt like a servant serving Ryan Cui, and it was awkward to eat at the same table with the host, so he took the initiative to stand up and decline: "Big brother, please eat with the old lady, I will accompany Xiao Ji, the shopkeeper, and we will eat in the yard."

The old lady had long forgotten the surname of the shopkeeper who came with her previous daughter-in-law as a dowry, and asked Ryan Cui in confusion: "What shopkeeper? Are we going to hire a new shopkeeper?"

Ryan Cui looked up at her and said with a smile, "No, I just saw that the three shops were not doing well, and they were all run by servants, not the real shopkeepers. I was afraid that they didn't know how to run the business, so I asked a familiar shopkeeper to come and ask."

The old lady was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Then you go back to entertain the guests. I'll have someone bring the banquet to the courtyard for you."
