Daughter-in-law

Chapter 4 Challenge
At the beginning of the engagement, the reason why grandpa chose Wang Chuxue was because of Wang Chuxue's peculiar fortune theory. I am the destiny of the most yin, Wang Chuxue and I are just the opposite, and the destiny of pure yang. When we are together, our fortunetelling just complements each other, and the harmony of yin and yang complements each other .

But grandpa also said that when the moon is full, there will be shortages, and when the water is full, there will be overflows. No matter what is too much, it will be bad. Our two fortunes are like this. The destiny of the most yin and the destiny of pure yang are two kinds of numerology To the extreme, people with this kind of fortune-telling often don't live past the age of 20.

I am 19 years old this year, and I will be 20 in six months. Wang Chuxue is two months younger than me. If we don't get married, enter the bridal chamber, or have sex before the age of [-], it is very likely that something will happen to us.

Thinking of this, I can no longer calm down. I have already decided that I will leave for Jishui City tomorrow. For Wang Chuxue, but also for myself, I must go to Jishui.

Before his death, my grandfather said that he left me a shop on Linfeng Street in Jishui City. He originally planned to let me take care of it after he married Wang Chuxue at the age of 20, but now it seems that it will be earlier.

The next day I packed up my things and went directly to Jishui City. Three days later, I arrived at the Linfeng Street that my grandfather mentioned. When I got there, I realized that this street is not big, but there are no other stalls on the whole street. It is a funeral shop selling wreath paper figurines, and there are a few fortune-telling shops here and there.

I turned around and found that most of the fortune-telling and fortune-telling shops are charlatans. These people have no real skills, but they have a good mouth and a pair of eyes that can detect words and expressions. Whether the customers who come and go have something on their minds, these people It can be seen at a glance.

The shop left by my grandfather is at the end of the street corner. The shop has two floors, with several rooms. The door is tightly locked with an iron lock. There is a plaque on the top of the shop. There are only three words on the plaque: Tiexiang Li.

I walked to the front of the shop, opened the lock with the key left by my grandfather, then pushed the door and walked in.

There is only one table and one chair in the shop, and there is a counter at the back, which is covered with dust, and no one has been there for an unknown period of time.

I went to the second floor, and there were three rooms above, as well as a toilet and a kitchen, and it was just right for me to live here.

After putting it away and saluting, I started to clean the shop, which was left to me by my grandfather. Although I have learned the skills of my grandfather, I am not yet 20 years old. I can't use those things. Of course, it is impossible to open the door for business, but I'm going to live here in the future, so I have to clean it up.

But what I didn't know was that the moment I opened the door of the shop and walked in, the entire Linfeng Street immediately caused a commotion, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at it.

"Li Laosan's shop is open!" In less than an hour, the news spread throughout Linfeng Street.

After cleaning the shop,
I'm going to go to the Wang's house. Although I've been engaged to Wang Chuxue since I was a child, I've never been to the Wang's house. I want to visit.

Who knew that just as I walked down the second floor, I saw an old man sitting below, wearing a blue coat, who seemed to be waiting for me.

"I'm sorry, this shop is closed now." I thought he was here to see the photo, so I said to him.

Who knew that the old man didn't move at all, but looked up at me, and asked me: "Who are you to Li Laosan?"

"He's my grandfather." I looked at the old man, a little strangely, thinking that he might be my grandfather's former friend.

The old man looked me up and down again, then stood up, and said: "Okay, since he is the grandson of Li Laosan, he must have obtained the true biography of Li Laosan. I lost to your grandfather back then, so let's have a competition today." Fan, let's see how many true biography you have obtained from Li Laosan, if you don't know anything, you won't be able to open this shop."

I was stunned for a moment, originally I thought this person was a friend of Grandpa, but I didn’t expect that he came to challenge him, and seeing this guy’s eagerness to try, it was obvious that he had suffered under Grandpa’s hands back then, and now he wants to come to me revenge.

Following my grandfather for so many years, I have learned a lot and am very confident in my own abilities, but I am not yet 20 years old, so I cannot use those things, let alone compete with others.

I smiled at him and said, "I'm sorry, senior, for disappointing you. I don't know those things. Grandpa never taught me."

The old man was obviously stunned for a moment, a little surprised, and said: "Li Laosan's such a great skill has not been passed on to you!"

I nodded, now I want to go to Wang's house, I don't want to get entangled with this old guy at all, I plan to see the guest away.

"What you said is true?" The old man asked me again in disbelief.

I nodded, I didn't expect that when I first came to Jishui, I would encounter door-to-door challenges. I can't use those things yet, so I can only say that I haven't learned them.

The old man stared at me for a long time, a little disappointed, then sighed, and said, "Since you haven't learned the skills of Li Laosan, you shouldn't come here. If you want to gain a foothold in this street, you must have Really capable, accept the challenge of your peers, you will not be ineligible to come here.”

Hearing what he said, I sneered and said to myself that this shop was left to me by my grandfather, it is my property, I am not qualified to be here, what a joke.

The old man seemed to see that I didn't believe it, and said solemnly: "At the beginning, your grandfather Li Laosan established a reputation in this street and gained a firm foothold among his colleagues. When the third brother left, he said that this shop is reserved for his heirs. When the shop opens, all colleagues are welcome to come and challenge. If you can win three games in a row, the heir will enter the business. You will know nothing , what qualifications do you have to take over this shop?"

The old man looked at me with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and walked out directly, leaving only one sentence: "Whether you know it or not, as long as you take over this shop, you will be the successor of Li Laosan. If you dare not even answer the challenge, it proves that you are innocent." The qualification is that Li Laosan was blind, picked you as a heir, and gave you a month, and after a month, you must accept the challenge or get out of Linfeng Street."

Looking at the old man's back, I couldn't help but smiled wryly. I never thought that my grandfather would set such a rule back then.

Grandpa's plan was to come here after I was 20 years old, but he didn't expect that I would come here earlier. Now I am not yet 20 years old, how can I face the challenges of my peers?
But I am the only grandson and the only descendant of my grandfather. I can't lose face of my grandfather. Since there is still one month left, let's talk about it in one month. Even if I try my best, I can't lose my grandfather's shop.

I went out and hailed a car, and went straight to Wang's house. Although I have never been to Wang's house, I know the address of Wang's house.

The Wang family is now a big family in Jishui, but when I came to the gate of the Wang family, I was still shocked. I thought the Wang family was just like an ordinary rich family, and it would be good to have a villa, but what I saw in front of me was a The big manor covers an area of ​​more than ten acres!

"Chuxue, look at when our marriage is scheduled. The sooner this matter is the better, you will be the daughter-in-law of my Zhao family. Grandpa will definitely take care of your family's affairs. After all, my grandpa's name You know that the head is in Jishui City."

Just when I was about to take a look at Wang's Fengshui, a man's voice sounded at the door.

I hid behind a big tree, and saw a man and a woman coming out from the gate of Wang's house. I had never seen the man before, but he was well dressed, with a greasy hair and pink face. He looked like a rich man.

And that woman is Wang Chuxue!
