Chapter 106 Meeting
There are several restaurants in Dafengji, most of them are adjacent to the pier. The most famous and best-decorated one is Fengyuan Restaurant.

I heard that they were opened by merchants from Fucheng, and they were also found in every town in Luoshui City and Xiatou. To future generations, this was a restaurant chain operation.

Even though it was a small Dafengji, there was still business to be done. It was still a long time before noon, and the Fengyuan Restaurant was already filled with customers.

There were idle people in Jishang, as well as passing merchant ships and passenger ships moored at Dafengji Pier.

The mule cart was parked in the open space next to Fengyuan Restaurant. There were wooden stakes tied to it, and the clerks from Fengyuan Restaurant were stationed here to guard it, so they were not afraid of losing it.

The brother and sister went straight to Fengyuan Restaurant. As soon as they entered, a waiter came to greet them: "How many guests are there? In the lobby on the first floor or in the private room on the second floor?"

"Which box did Shopkeeper Ding reserve? We are here to keep his appointment." Shiliu asked him directly.

When the waiter heard this, he was also surprised. Yesterday, the shopkeeper Ding of Datong Warehouse sent someone to reserve the best box. Today, he also came over early to drink tea and wait. Not only him, but also their shopkeepers thought that Shopkeeper Ding has made an appointment to discuss a big deal today.

Never thought that the pair of brothers and sisters would be treated to dinner by shopkeeper Ding?

I don’t see any difference between these siblings, which is so strange!

"Shopkeeper Ding is in the private room upstairs. Please come with me!" The waiter said curiously while leading the pomegranate brothers and sisters to the second floor.

The shopkeeper behind the counter looked very strange. Others didn't know that he and shopkeeper Ding were old acquaintances, but he knew the details of shopkeeper Ding most clearly.

Shopkeeper Ding was a poor boy with nothing when he was young. He didn't know what chance he had, but he got the appreciation of Mr. Jin, the old shopkeeper of Datong Warehouse in Luoshui City, and recruited him as an apprentice, taking him with him to teach him step by step. he.

Shopkeeper Ding himself was also very capable. Later, step by step, he came into the eyes of Mr. Wang, a wealthy family behind the Datong Warehouse, and was valued by him.

From apprentice to manager to shopkeeper to big shopkeeper, over the past few decades, step by step, he has made a name for himself in Luoshui City.

It was because of his nostalgia that he had always been willing to stay at Datong Warehouse as the big shopkeeper and contribute to his old club. Otherwise, with his ability and family background, he would have been able to retire and become a leisurely master long ago.

Today's Mr. Wang is the son of Mr. Wang back then, and he also has the same regard for Shopkeeper Ding. Everything about Datong Warehouse is left to Shopkeeper Ding's decision.

And now the Wang family is backed by a big shot in the state government, and even his boss has to give the Wang family a bit of a thumbs-down in the city.

Calculating this, isn't this shopkeeper Ding an ordinary person?
It is really strange that such an unusual person would be so serious about inviting a brother and sister to dinner. Today they also ordered a high-quality table and came over early to wait.

The Shiliu brothers and sisters were led by the waiter to a private room on the second floor. When the door opened, they saw Ding Fuguang sitting inside.

"Shopkeeper Ding." The Shiliu brother and sister greeted.

Ding Fuguang waved the waiter to go down first, then raised his hand to let the Shiliu brothers and sisters take their seats. He said with a smile on his face: "Why do you call me shopkeeper Ding? According to your clan leader, you can also call me cousin." .”

Cousin?

This climb is too unobtrusive. Pomegranate couldn't help but twitch her lips, but she still calmly called her cousin. As long as the other person wasn't embarrassed, she wouldn't be embarrassed to call him. They were also elders anyway, so it didn't matter whether he was called cousin or uncle!
Li Rongzong also shouted.

Ding Fuguang's smile suddenly deepened. He personally picked up the teapot and poured tea for the brothers and sisters. He also pushed the snacks on the table towards the two of them, allowing them to eat as they pleased.

The Pomegranate brothers and sisters came out after breakfast. They were really not hungry at the moment. Since they were here to talk about something, they couldn't just eat and drink.

Therefore, Shiliu sat without moving, looked at Ding Fuguang, and asked straight to the point: "My cousin specially hosted a banquet today, which made this junior really panic. I don't know why?"

Seeing this, Ding Fuguang was also secretly amused. The little girl called her cousin, but she was wary of him in her heart.

He stopped beating around the bush and said seriously: "I'm hosting a banquet for you today because I want to talk to you about this marriage in person. Pomegranate, I sincerely want to hire you as my daughter-in-law, so I want to talk to you in person." Let me ask you, do you have any concerns about this marriage? If you have any concerns, you can tell me directly and we can have a good talk, okay?"

Pomegranate:!
Li Rongzong also felt his heart pounding when he heard it, what is this? Is Shopkeeper Ding still so persistent in this marriage? I specially invited the second sister here because I wanted to hear from the second sister's own words why she didn't want to? This is so sincere!

He couldn't help but look at Pomegranate.

"Why?" Pomegranate was curious, "Why did you fall in love with me at first sight and think I must be suitable to be your daughter-in-law? I'm talking about the first sight. That swarthy salesman was the one you sent to inquire about the news. ?”

As soon as Ding Fuguang heard this, he immediately knew that he was right to come here today, and that this marriage was indeed something Shiliu didn't want.

When he heard the next words, he immediately understood why Shiliu was wary of him. It turned out that she had already noticed it when she sent her cousin to inquire about the news.

He couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, I saw your calm and perseverance at first sight, as if I saw myself when I was young. I believe in fate the most, so I hope to be as smart as you." The resolute, steady and generous daughter-in-law came into the house to take up the Ding family's business."

Shiliu shook her head, "You confused me. You said you need a daughter-in-law to join the Ding family to take over the family business? This is too hard to understand."

Although shopkeeper Ding praised her for her calmness and perseverance, she felt that it was very helpful, but this little cannonball would not make her feel complacent and get carried away.

The Ding family has two sons. Do they need a daughter-in-law to support the family business? These days, some people are so thoughtful that they are willing to bypass their sons and hand over the family property to their daughter-in-law.

Ding Fuguang couldn't help but sigh and said: "To be honest, although I have two sons, it is good, but the eldest son is impulsive and has no courage, and the second son is too indecisive and weak-tempered. Neither of them can take on big responsibilities! If I have this family in a hundred years, If it falls into their hands, it will probably be destroyed in a few years.

This is a family business that I have worked hard for my whole life. Even if it cannot be passed down for a hundred years, I think it must be passed down to at least one generation or two, right?

This is also something I have been particularly worried about in the past two years, until that day when I met you Pomegranate——"

He said, looking at Shiliu with serious eyes, "So, as long as you are willing to come in, Shiliu, I will teach you all the experiences and connections I have gained in this life, and treat you like my own daughter. I trust you and respect you. I I believe you will be able to shoulder this high expectation."

Li Rongzong was completely stunned, looking at the tea in front of him in trance.

Pomegranate looked like: "."

So, why did she join the Ding family and become the daughter-in-law of the Ding family, spending her whole life and freedom to help the Ding family support their family business?
Does she have nothing to do or does the family cannot tolerate her existence and she must find a way out for herself?
