When Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu saw Dong Lei welcoming them with a walking stick, both of them had a smile on their faces.

Dong Shu first sized up the Cousin's complexion. Seeing that his face was flushed, he then extended her hand towards Cui Hua, accepted the two packets of snacks, and gave them to him: "I didn't bring anything precious. These two packets of snacks taste pretty good, give this Cousin a taste."

Since Dong Shu had directly said that the snacks were for Cousin to eat, Dong Zhen who was supporting his brother felt too embarrassed to extend his hand towards the snacks.

When the few of them sat down in the Dong Clan's main hall, Dong Shu wanted to see the Cousin speak, but she was lightly pulled by Xu Shiqiu on her sleeve.

Sensing her husband's actions, Dong Shu finally remembered that there was Dong Zhen here.

Although Dong Zhen was young, he was still someone who knew how to speak. The less people knew about the things that he wanted to say today, the better.

Thinking about it, Dong Shu gave up on the idea of opening her mouth, and instead, started to examine Cousin's legs, to see how his recovery was.

Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu's actions could not be considered secret. Dong Lei could tell that Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu probably came to find him because they had matters to attend to today, so she immediately passed the two bags of food that she was carrying over to Dong Zhen and said: "Go back to your room and eat only one piece. Leave the rest for Father, Mother and your sister to eat after coming back."

Maybe it was because Dong Lei had to take the money from home every month, so Dong Lei's words were still very useful in the Dong Clan, even if he was currently resting at home for two months.

Thus, when Dong Zhen heard his words, he did not dare to retort and could only obediently agree.

When Dong Zhen happily took her bag of snacks and left, Cui Hua also consciously walked to the front of the room to stand properly. It was only then that Xu Shiqiu opened his mouth and spoke to Dong Lei.

"I came to find Cousin today because I have something to ask you." Xu Shiqiu did not change his attitude towards Dong Lei because his current wealth had skyrocketed.

Because Young Girl said that Dong Lei was the best person in the Dong Family to her, Xu Shiqiu was willing to treat this man who was younger than him as his relative.

Xu Shiqiu's attitude also made Dong Lei a little nervous, he did not know what Xu Shiqiu wanted to ask him.

However, he was still a waiter in a restaurant outside, and he had seen quite a few different types of people during those two years.

Thus, even though he was nervous, he did not reveal anything. Instead, he nodded and said, "Third Young Master asks, I will definitely tell you what I know."

After Xu Shiqiu heard this, he did not waste anymore time, and directly said: "I currently have a few stores in my hands, and the closest one is a two story restaurant in the county.

That restaurant was originally rented to someone else. Recently, I wanted to take it back and put it under my wife's name before opening a teahouse. It could be considered my wife's dowry.

It's just that I'm not familiar with this line of work. I have a few good words in my hand, and I have some good knowledge to make cheap and good tea leaves. However, I don't know anything about this line of business.

He recalled that Cousin had done it before. He wanted to ask if Cousin would be willing to go to the county to help his wife look after the shop.

Of course, I also heard from my wife that Cousin didn't know many characters. If Cousin was willing, then it would be the right time to go to Xu Family Sect and learn how to read and calculate from me every day before your legs have fully recovered and your contract with the shop has expired.

Is Cousin willing to do this? "

Dong Shu and Dong Lei both did not expect Xu Shiqiu to directly say such a thing.

Especially Dong Shu, when she was at home before, Xu Shiqiu had only said that he wanted to ask about the Cousin, but did not have the intention of saying that he wanted the Cousin to be the manager.

As for Dong Lei, he was previously just a small tavern in town, based on his mental state, he had secretly learnt a few words from the accounting office, but he was definitely not qualified to be a manager.

But he never thought that Xu Shiqiu would ask him to be a manager the moment he opened his mouth.

Although he also said that he would go to Xu Family to first learn how to read and settle debts, Dong Lei still subconsciously felt that it was his brother-in-law wanting to help him out of respect for his cousin.

Thinking about that, Dong Lei immediately looked towards Xu Shiqiu and shook his head: "I appreciate Third Young Master's good intentions, but I am well aware of my own abilities. If you are lacking an assistant, I will definitely go without a second thought. However, I am unable to do so. "

Dong Lei truthfully said, he didn't feel that because he was his cousin's Cousin, as long as he opened his mouth, this manager's position would definitely be his.

He understood his own abilities. He had always known that no matter how much power he had, he would just do it.

Even if the shop was given to his cousin by the Third Young Master, he could not afford to accept a manager who was not qualified.

When Xu Shiqiu saw that Dong Lei had rejected his offer without hesitation, he felt that he had not misjudged her.

He also understood that Dong Lei's current ability might not be enough, but since he wanted to thank him, he naturally thought of this question beforehand.

"Cousin, no need to be so decisive in rejecting my offer. Since your legs have not recovered yet, the restaurant's contract will only expire in more than two months.

When the contract expires, the shop will have to be rearranged by the workers, and it will take at least three months to reopen.

In these three months, Cousin's legs will definitely be fine, and you can use this time to learn more.

If Cousin is worried, when your legs are good, I will send you to another shop in the Xu Family to learn from those stewards. "

When Xu Shiqiu said till here, Dong Lei's heart was already moved, but perhaps he still had other concerns, so he did not speak up.

Seeing that Dong Lei was clearly moved but had yet to speak, Xu Shiqiu could not help but sigh in the end, "Cousin does not know, but our Xu Family split into two families a few days ago. Due to my previous affairs, there weren't many people around who were considerate and needed help.

As for my wife, only you can help us in this matter. If you can handle this, you can help your wife manage the other shops in a few years.

I am prepared to put all the shops obtained from the branch family under my wife's name and keep the children that I will give to my wife in the future.

"If you are unwilling to help, then my wife and I will have no one to help."

Dong Shu never thought that her husband would actually say such a thing to the Cousin.

She stared at her husband in astonishment, only to see him secretly wink at her.

Receiving Hubby's hints, Dong Shu finally suppressed the question she was about to ask.

Just then, when Xu Shiqiu said that he did not have anyone to help, Dong Shu wanted to say something. After all, she remembered that his husband had written a few days ago to find someone to help her.

Dong Shu knew all of these, but Dong Lei did not.

Dong Lei thought about what Xu Shiqiu had said and understood what he meant.

Because Xu Shiqiu had always stayed at home, and because of his unlucky physique, he did not have anyone helping him.

Furthermore, from what Xu Shiqiu had just said, Dong Lei could feel what he meant.

Because his cousin's family didn't show it, there was no way for him to give her a good marriage. If he were to miss this opportunity, he might really not have the chance to help his cousin.

Thinking about Xu Family, and hearing about how the Xu Family house and second house had returned a few days ago, Dong Lei was worried about his cousin's temper. Also, about the Dong Clan's disciples, he thought that his cousin would suffer a loss due to Xu Family.

Seeing Dong Lei furrow his brows in deep thought, Xu Shiqiu immediately turned to look at his, giving her a look.

After Dong Shu received Xu Shiqiu's hint, she immediately looked towards the Cousin and said: "Brother Lei, my husband treats me well.

However, you know my personality. I'm afraid that I can't care less about the matters of the shop.

If you don't help me, then hubby's efforts will be in vain. "

Just as Dong Shu finished saying this, Dong Lei, who was still immersed in his own thoughts a moment ago, immediately regained his senses. He nodded at her and guaranteed, "Shu'er, don't worry, with Cousin here, I will definitely look after these shops for you."

Hearing Dong Lei's guarantee, Dong Shu immediately turned to look at Xu Shiqiu, his beautiful crescent eyes filled with pride and joy.

After nodding at her, he then looked at Dong Lei and said: "Since Cousin agreed to this matter, then we'll go to Xu Family tomorrow and learn how to read and settle debts with me.

It just so happens that I want to teach my wife how to read accounts. Together, after learning all these, Cousin's legs should also be better.

That time, I will have an old manager take Cousin to learn how to manage things. "

Before Xu Shiqiu came, he had already thought of a way to deal with the rest, so after seeing Dong Lei agree, he immediately told him his plans.

Dong Lei now understood that since he had agreed, there was no possibility of going back on his words.

However, he felt that he should give himself a chance. If he could really become a manager in a teahouse, then he could slowly become a manager in the future.

As long as he worked hard and studied a few more things, he would surely be able to change the family's current situation of selling his sister for twenty silver.

This thought in his heart, Dong Lei did not say it aloud.

However, Xu Shiqiu had schemed against him this entire time, which was why he said such words to him today.

Just as Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu were about to leave, Dong Lei opened her mouth to stay for the night.

"Why don't you stay home for dinner today? I'll get Dong Zhen to call Dong Miao back for dinner. " Dong Lei's movements were inconvenient, he immediately got up and called for Dong Zhen who was hiding in his room.

Hearing his words, Dong Shu immediately shook her head: "There's no need, Cousin, the reason we came here today is to discuss this matter with you. Tomorrow, you will have to go to the Xu Family to learn how to read and calculate. After saying this, Dong Shu thought for a moment, then opened her mouth: "Do you want me to get someone to pick you up tomorrow?"

Dong Shu smiled and shook her head to just as she finished speaking, "Shu'er, don't worry. Cousin might have broken legs, but he has a walking stick. Tomorrow, after I finish my breakfast, I'll stroll away. "

After all, Dong Lei was someone who had seen the world. He knew his own identity, how would he agree to Dong Shu's words of letting someone pick him up?

What's more, even though he was helping his cousin with the management's matters, it was still his brother-in-law who had given him a chance.

With this job, he would be able to quickly earn money to fill the holes in his family.

After seeing through Cousin's thoughts, Dong Shu did not continue.

However, after some thought, she still …
