When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

Chapter 382 Engagement Discussion

Mrs. Mi didn't give him the chance to act coquettishly or play tricks, and turned around and pointed:

"Look at the ancestors of the Mi family and think carefully about what you are going to do in the future.

Tell me when you figure it out, I might be able to help you while I’m still here.”

Kaiyang: Mrs. Mi is going to use drastic measures!

It sounds as if the Mi family will collapse tomorrow. But for someone like Mi Lao Er, it’s good enough that he doesn’t cause trouble. What else can he do?

Mi Laoer, kneeling on the ground, felt confused and needed time to digest what his mother said.

Mrs. Mi ignored him and walked to Kaiyang, her tone much softer:

“Kaiyang, I brought you to the Mi Family Ancestral Hall today because I didn’t treat you as an outsider.

I also have something to tell you today. The situation that the Mi family will face is so serious. I can't hide it from you. Duoduo is my precious daughter.

Unfortunately, her brothers are useless and the Mi family may bring danger to her in the future.

I want to ask you a heartfelt question: Do you like Duoduo?"

Kaiyang did not hesitate and answered decisively: "I like it!"

Mrs. Mi's face looked much better, and her tone became more cordial:

"Even if her family is in such a situation now, are you still willing to marry her?"

Kaiyang: “Yes!”

Duoduo is the daughter-in-law that his mother is satisfied with, and he also likes the girl, so he will definitely marry her.

Mrs. Mi nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Will your family agree?" Aren't you afraid of being implicated?

Kaiyang had no worries. He smiled and said, "My family agrees."

Mrs. Mi was even more satisfied and said to Kaiyang:

"Then I'll arrange a marriage for you tomorrow. Let's get it settled sooner so Duoduo can get married sooner. I don't want Duoduo to be implicated by family matters, okay?"

Kaiyang was very much in favor of this. Just as he was about to agree, he heard Mi Laoer shout:

"No! Mom, how can you marry my sister off so rashly? I don't agree!"

Mrs. Mi glanced at him and said sarcastically, "If you had been more courageous, your sister wouldn't have to marry in such a hurry."

Mi Lao Er: "I..." He was speechless.

Mrs. Mi looked at Kaiyang hopefully, waiting for his answer.

Kaiyang replied happily: "Okay!"

Although Kaiyang felt that the Mi family’s affairs would not implicate Duoduo, and he would not allow anything bad to happen, he had no experience in dealing with such situations after all.

He has already found help for the Mi family, but the reinforcements have not arrived yet, and he doesn't know who will help, or whether they can help.

Therefore, he did not tell Mrs. Mi about his situation.

Mrs. Mi nodded with satisfaction. Kaiyang was a really good kid, except that his family background was a little poor.

There is really no choice for the others.

Soon Kaiyang became her son-in-law, and they were all family members, so she didn't have to avoid him when something happened.

Mrs. Mi: "Kaiyang, our Mi family has business all over Chuzhou, with more than 20 shops of various sizes, all of which are prosperous shops left by our ancestors.

Unfortunately, the number of officials in the Mi family who served in the court has been declining, and now the business of these shops has been taken away by others."

At this point, Mrs. Mi's eyes were filled with reluctance yet helplessness.

"When you and Duoduo get married, I will give you a few shops as a dowry. You should run them well. Maybe the future glory of the Mi family will depend on your small branch.

Our family is being targeted now. I am afraid that even if I want to give you the shop in Chuzhou, those people will not let you have an easy life, so..."

Don't cause trouble for your daughter. Give her more money and land to support herself. I don't think they can keep the shop in Chuzhou, but you can give your daughter the shop outside Chuzhou.

Kaiyang said honestly: "I don't know how to do business, but my employers should know how to do it."

Mrs. Mi's eyes gleamed, and she patted Kaiyang on the shoulder:

"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it. Just learn from your boss and be humble enough to let them give you more guidance."

The Bai family's business is so big, if Kaiyang pays more attention, how can his own small business be bad?

Besides, if we have a relationship with the Bai family, maybe those shops won't be taken away so easily. At worst, we'll both suffer and no one will take them.

When she was pushed into a corner, she gave all the things those people coveted to the Bai family as a token of her allegiance.

She just didn't believe that these people in Chuzhou dared to confront the Bai family.

Who would want to offend the Bai family when doing business!

I heard that the Bai family and the Shangguan family have a very good relationship. The Shangguan family has a special status in the court, and officials dare not provoke them too much.

So, can we also use the tiger's skin as a banner?

The more Mrs. Mi thought about it, the more she felt that Kaiyang was a good son-in-law.

Although he did not serve as a manager or shopkeeper in the Bai family, she observed that the people in the Bai family office were very respectful to Kaiyang.

I think the status can’t be low.

Mrs. Mi: "Kaiyang, what position do you hold in the Bai family?"

They are all my family, so I should give her the bottom line.

Mi Lao Er: What? This guy is working for the Bai family? Is this the Bai family he thought it was?

Impossible! This must be a mistake.

Kaiyang frowned. How should he put it? The boss's identity was not allowed to be revealed. He moved his mouth a few times and finally said uncertainly: "I am an assistant."

People who help with things are just helpers! Actually, he wanted to say that he was a bodyguard, but he was afraid that Mrs. Mi would ask who he was guarding.

I can’t mention the boss. I can’t say that I’m working as a bodyguard for a certain shopkeeper.

So, it’s correct to say that I’m helping out.

Mrs. Mi: “Assistant?” What kind of position is this?

Seeing that Kaiyang seemed to be in an awkward situation, it seemed that some information could not be revealed.

How could this stump Mrs. Mi? How could a mistress who manages more than 20 shops be a simple person?

She chatted with Kaiyang nonchalantly:

"Well, young people should not focus on salary and position when doing things. As long as you can learn something, even if you are the lowest-level guy, it is worth doing it."

Kaiyang: "Well, I have been learning all the time." He is very diligent in learning martial arts with Tianjizi.

Mrs. Mi nodded. It was good to have the awareness to learn something. She said with concern:

"Who among the people around you has the best business? That's the one you should communicate with more. Who do you talk to the most on a daily basis?"

Mrs. Mi asked about the Bai family in a roundabout way.

Kaiyang is a simple-minded person, so it should not be difficult for her to get any information out of him, Mrs. Mi thought confidently.

Kaiyang pondered for a moment and said, "There are many shopkeepers who are doing well in business, and they are all very nice to me."

That is, as someone close to the boss, who could treat him badly? This is absolutely not a lie.

The person who talked to him the most was Tianjizi, because he wanted to guide him in practicing martial arts!

The boss also often talked to him, and the shopkeepers were also very enthusiastic when they saw him.

When Mrs. Mi heard this, she was surprised. Kaiyang is really having a good time.

Otherwise, why would so many shop owners like him?

Well, she has a good eye for talent!

The more she looked at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she became.
