The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 41 The Zhou family’s work
The two of them walked into the silk and satin shop. Although Pei Zhan was wearing shabby clothes, his face was so outstanding that anyone who saw Pei Zhan for the first time would be hard not to be surprised.

Yun Sanniang, a middle-aged woman, couldn't help but tugged at the sleeves of Tao Zhen's clothes, and said with a bit of excitement in her voice: "Who is this person? It's life-threatening to look like this."

Tao Zhen looked at the nymphomaniac Yun Sanniang speechlessly: "My brother-in-law."

Yun Sanniang didn't know about the Pei family, and naturally she didn't know that Tao Zhen was actually a widow. She asked in a low voice: "My brother is so good-looking, so he must be a top-notch one too."

Tao Zhen thought carefully about Pei Huan's appearance.

The eldest son is not as stunning as Pei Zhan, but he is still handsome and has a gentle temperament. He should be a very gentle person.

Tao Zhen felt a little regretful. It was a pity that such a good person died at a young age.

"He... is a very good person." Tao Zhen said.

Yun Sanniang is such a smart person. Seeing that she didn't want to mention it, she didn't say anything more.

On the other side, Pei Zhan had already asked Mrs. Pei to talk. Mrs. Pei looked very tempted, and Pei Zhan frowned slightly, obviously disapproving.

Yun Sanniang said: "Actually, you don't have to worry. These two are the maids of the Zhou family. Mr. Zhou has a good reputation, and Miss Zhou is also a good person. Besides, the embroiderers only need to abide by their duties and do their best. If you do your job, nothing will happen."

The two maids glanced at Pei Zhan's face a few more times. Even if Pei Zhan let down his hair, they could still see the tattoo on his face.

"Don't worry, little brother, nothing will happen to your mother..." Probably because it was really difficult to find a good embroiderer, one of the girls couldn't help but persuade her.

Pei Zhan turned to look at them, with no warmth in his eyes: "Do you guarantee it with your life?"

Even if they risk their lives, how can two girls they don't know compare to his mother.

Tao Zhen also felt that something was wrong. He was unfamiliar with the place and there were too many variables.

Mrs. Pei, however, made up her mind: "Are you two treating me like a child? I have seen some of the world, so nothing will happen to me."

Tao Zhen wanted to say something else, but Mrs. Pei said again: "I have decided, you don't need to persuade me."

Ten taels of silver can solve a big problem for them, make them feel better in the future, and allow them to live a more stable life. Moreover, it is just for embroidery work, not for anything else, so Mrs. Pei thinks it is okay.

She must earn this money.

But she also made a concession. She went by herself and Pei Heng stayed at home.The two little girls said: "If you are worried about taking the time, you can go to the Zhou Mansion to see your mother. The embroiderer can also come out after finishing her work."

"Yes, with your status, if we couldn't find a suitable person, we wouldn't use you."

Pei Zhan glanced at them, and the two girls were so frightened by his fierce eyes that they stopped talking.

The mother and son fell into a cold war, and neither one paid attention to the other. Later, the dispute did not come to any result, so they had to give up.

When Tao Zhen and the others went to the vegetable market, Mrs. Liu and the others had not yet finished their shopping. Tao Zhen saw people surrounding a stall, so she said she wanted to go over and have a look, leaving the place for the mother and son.

Pei Heng noticed the change in the adult's mood and looked timidly without daring to speak. Tao Zhen took his hand and said with a smile: "Go over there with my sister-in-law and buy some candied haws for you, okay?"

Pei Heng looked at Mrs. Pei, who nodded in agreement, and then he followed Tao Zhen. When there were many people, Pei Heng would become less courageous. He held Tao Zhen's hand tightly and looked around nervously.

Tao Zhen bought two bunches of candied haws, gave him one bunch, and put the remaining bunch away. She walked around, bought a few more kilograms of pork, and saw another beef seller.

In the Dashun Dynasty, cattle were not allowed to be slaughtered at will, so beef was particularly precious. Now the beef has been sold out, leaving only a skeleton that seems to have been reduced and nothing is left, and no one cares about it.

Tao Zhen walked over and asked the price, and the vendor said one hundred yuan.

Tao Zhen couldn't bear to give up. One hundred coins was enough to buy several kilograms of meat.

Seeing that she was leaving, the vendor thought that she was just a skeleton, and it looked like he couldn't cut a pound of meat, and he wanted to close the stall and go home as soon as possible.

"How much do you want to buy it for?"

Tao Zhen stood back a little and said, "Fifty coins?"

The vendor was stunned, he had never seen such a bargain.

Tao Zhen added: "This thing doesn't look like it has any meat. It's all bones. Moreover, beef is not easy to stew, and it requires firewood. In this snowy day, no one is rich in firewood..."

She talked a lot, and after hearing what she said, the vendors felt that what she said made sense. The skeleton was not easy to sell in the first place, so they sold it to her like this.

Tao Zhen also asked the vendor to chop it up for her, and then she carried a pile of cow bones to the bullock cart.
