After the rebirth of Madam Hou Clan, her heart was sealed with cement

No matter how powerful Tan Zhixu is, she is still the second wife of the Hou Mansion. Even if people outside say that Tan Zhixu is powerful, they are also saying that the second lady of the Hou Mansion is powerful.

After all, this good reputation always belongs to the Hou Mansion.

Zhou's proposal was in line with the old lady's wishes, but now was not the time to take away the restaurant business.

Everyone knows about Tan Zhixu's contribution to the restaurant. Now that the restaurant's business is booming and she takes away the business, what will outsiders say?
Not to mention that she, the old lady of the Hou Mansion, didn't like her daughter-in-law, so she took away the restaurant that her daughter-in-law ran.

That's why the old lady has no plans to open the restaurant now. She didn't expect that Zhou would be eager for this piece of fat. She was really bold.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm warning you, if you still want to be the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, you must build those few shops honestly, otherwise..."

"Mom, my daughter-in-law knows it. My daughter-in-law just acted rashly. I hope my mother won't be angry."

Zhou immediately knelt on the ground to admit her mistake, and also blocked what the old lady was going to say next.

So the matter was shelved.

It was only when Zhou came to the restaurant again today that she realized how powerful Tan Zhixu was.

After becoming a monk halfway, he actually made the restaurant the best restaurant in the capital. Look at all the diners, everyone is full of praise for the restaurant's dishes, even the dim sum is one of the best in the capital.

The most powerful thing about Tan Zhixu is not just this. Originally, Mrs. Zhou thought that she had seized the market of the restaurant and the shopkeepers next to her should not like her. But she had this ability and made all the shopkeepers of the restaurant treat her politely.

Out of curiosity, Ms. Zhou inquired privately, and found out that Tan Zhixu had paid attention to the shopkeepers who were close friends with her, and that their restaurant's business was also good in that area.

Because of this, Mrs. Zhou teased Tan Zhixu a lot, saying that she was just waiting to get drunk. However, after waiting for so long, the restaurant's business had no impact at all.

With doubts, Mrs. Zhou came to the restaurant to stay in the room anxiously.

Tan Zhixu, who had just finished settling the accounts and was about to go out, saw Mr. Zhou as soon as he opened the door.

Tan Zhixu didn't expect to see Mrs. Zhou at this time today, but when she thought about what Gu Yu said about people from the government office going to the Silk Village, she could understand.

Tan Zhixu smiled and closed the door, "Sister-in-law, are you coming to have dinner?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm here to see you today, so I won't go around in circles with you. You also know that the Silk and Satin Mansion has done activities in the past, and they were all done according to your method. Now that the Silk and Satin Mansion has lost money, it's not good for you. You don’t care at all?”

"Sister-in-law, I don't believe what you are saying. The method you are talking about is not what I gave you. I, Tan Zhixu, have never done business at a loss."

Tan Zhixu did not comply with Zhou's words, but directly responded.

Mrs. Zhou was wronged at first, but now she was even more at a loss. She cleared her throat and said, "Brother and sister, please don't argue with me. I am really here to beg you today."

"Sister-in-law, have you forgotten the agreement you made with me?"

"We are all a family, why do you still care about this with me? If mother finds out about our bet, she will probably scold both of us."

This is true at all. Although the old lady already knows about it now, she has never mentioned it.

Tan Zhixu understood that the old lady was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that would prevent both her and the Zhou family from coming to power, but she might have made a miscalculation.

Now that the Zhou family is here, the bet will probably not go ahead.

"Sister-in-law, you came to me just to say that you don't want to continue the bet?"

"Yes and no."

Zhou looked at Tan Zhixu with difficulty.Seeing this, Tan Zhixu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, since this is the case, there is nothing more to say. You don't have to continue the bet. I'll go and get busy first."

Tan Zhixu Shili locked the door and was about to leave, but Zhou blocked her way.

"Brother and sister, my shop has all been lost. Now it has returned to the usual business model, and no one is willing to come here. My sister-in-law is here to beg you."

Zhou pursed her lips, seemingly very determined.

It's no wonder that she looked down on herself so much at the beginning, but now she comes to beg him, so she will naturally struggle.

Tan Zhixu looked at Mrs. Zhou and said, "Sister-in-law, are you kidding me? Are you here to beg me? What do you want me to do?"

"It's coming to the end of the month. If the shop can't pay the money, or if things continue to develop, I'll be doomed." Ms. Zhou didn't hesitate and told her embarrassment.

Tan Zhixu had no emotion on his face, but he admired Mr. Zhou in his heart.

It seems that we have reached a dead end.

She pretended to be deep in thought, "Sister-in-law, do you want to ask me for money to deal with my mother?"

"I know that my younger siblings are the smartest, and they are really easy to understand. Don't worry, I will pay you back in the future."

Zhou held Tan Zhixu's hand, her eyes full of expectation.

Facing Zhou's expectant eyes, Tan Zhixu smiled and took her hand away, "Sister-in-law, this is not a dining hall. How could I give you my money? How could I tell my mother if I gave it to you?" Explain?"

"Brother and sister, please don't hide it from me. I know that your monthly income is very good. You won't find out if you pay less this month."

Zhou looked at Tan Zhixu with a shy smile.

Seeing Zhou's behavior, Tan Zhixu's expression suddenly changed, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean? Are you saying that I deceived my mother in the past?"

"No, of course that's not what I meant." Zhou quickly explained, but she couldn't organize her words well.

While Zhou was in a hurry, Tan Zhixu said with a sullen face, "Sister-in-law, I have to leave first."

"I was wrong, please help me." "Okay, I heard that my sister-in-law's dowry included two shops in the western suburbs, right?"

"Tan Zhixu, do you want to open a shop?" Mr. Zhou immediately jumped to his feet. He never expected that Tan Zhixu would turn out to be ambitious. Just now, he seemed to not care about anything. Now his true face was revealed?

Regarding Zhou's rhetorical question, Tan Zhixu did not comment.

"If you want to be friends with me and want me to help you, then come up with the land deed. If not, then just do it yourself."

This time Tan Zhixu didn't give Zhou any extra time and turned around and left.

Zhou froze on the spot. When she came to her senses, she could only see Tan Zhixu's dress. Her whole body was trembling. She looked at Forsythia beside her and said, "She, she wants my shop?"

"Madam, don't be angry. We'll just ignore her. Don't be angry. It won't hurt your health if you get angry." Forsythia knew Zhou and knew that she was about to explode, so she quickly comforted her.

However, Tan Zhixu's words made Ms. Zhou completely unable to control herself. She gave Forsythia two hard slaps, "What does Tan Zhixu think she is? She dares to ask for my shop. Can she afford it?"

Forsythia knelt on the ground. Although it was hurting to death, she didn't dare to make a sound until Mrs. Zhou looked at her fiercely and said, "Get up and go back with me."

"Yes."
