Chapter 1006: Talking About Money Hurts Feelings

Qin Zhi also didn't expect to meet Zhou Andong and Seeing Jian Qiu here.

"Yangcheng is indeed small enough."

"Qiu Jie!" Shi Mengjiao greeted Seeing Jian Qiu.

"Hello!" Seeing Jian Qiu held Shi Mengjiao's hand: "Buying clothes?"

Shi Mengjiao pointed at Qin Zhi: "Buy him one."

Zhou Andong looked Qin Zhi up and down with interest, especially the clothes he was wearing.

"Tsk tsk tsk, a delicate shirt, quite the dandy."

Mentejiao entered China in 1979, and its main product was a T-shirt made of a material called bright silk.

It became the top brand of T-shirts throughout the 80s and 90s.

In this era, its domestic status was comparable to later LV, Dior, and Chanel, absolutely a luxury brand.

A year ago, Mentejiao launched a men's T-shirt, which became a hit all over Dajiangnanfei upon release.

And the price of one such shirt reached as high as seventeen or eighteen hundred, which in this era was absolutely astronomical.

So, wearing such a shirt became a symbol of status, and owning one was a matter of pride.

Every time after washing, hanging it outside to dry required special attention, because a moment's carelessness could easily lead to it being snatched.

Zhou Andong affectionately put his arm around Qin Zhi's shoulder: "You bought a Mentejiao shirt, you gotta have a drink to celebrate."

Qin Zhi immediately became alert: "It's only a few o'clock, and you're already eating?"

"It's already past three." Zhou Andong put his arm around Qin Zhi's shoulder and walked: "Come on, let's find a place to have a drink."

Qin Zhi was pulled forward by Zhou Andong, saying: "I don't have any money."

"Oh dear!" Zhou Andong became even more enthusiastic: "We're brothers, talking about money hurts feelings."

"Do I know you that well?" Qin Zhi was dissatisfied and wanted to shake off, Zhou Andong's hand on his shoulder, but couldn't shake it off.

"Look at what you're saying." Zhou Andong put on a hurt expression: "Just because of Qiuqiu, our relationship isn't that distant, right? Shouldn't you call me brother-in-law?"

After saying that, they walked out of the mall, at which time Seeing Jian Qiu quickly walked over and put her arm around Zhou Andong's other arm.

"Look at you two being so affectionate, what are you talking about?"

"We weren't talking about anything." Zhou Andong said dissatisfied: "You go keep Qiuqiu company, why are you coming over here to bother me?"

"I'm just asking what you're talking about." Seeing Jian Qiu let go of Zhou Andong, fell two steps behind, and then happily shouted: "Dongzi, there's fifty yuan over there."

"Where?" Zhou Andong let go of Qin Zhi, his eyes darting around on the ground.

"There!" Seeing Jian Qiu pointed to under a tree by the roadside.

"Found it!"

Zhou Andong shouted, just as he lifted his foot, Qin Zhi grabbed him and pulled him back, then darted over in a flash.

"Damn!"

Zhou Andong cursed, failing to grab Qin Zhi, when he ran over, Qin Zhi had already picked up the money and was laughing happily.

Zhou Andong put his arm around Qin Zhi: "You found money, you must treat."

Qin Zhi pouted: "Treat whom?"

Zhou Andong said: "You found money, of course you should treat."

Qin Zhi proudly raised the money in his hand: "I found this money by my own ability, why should I treat?"

Zhou Andong sighed, and said to Shi Mengjiao: "Little sister, you'd better break up with this man. We came out to have fun happily, found fifty yuan, and he won't even treat, it's really losing face."

"Exactly!" Seeing Jian Qiu added fuel to the fire: "Qin Zhi, you were stingy as a kid, and you're still like this now, what can I say about you."

Qin Zhi slightly opened his mouth, looked at Zhou Andong, looked at Seeing Jian Qiu, then looked at Shi Mengjiao, and said unwillingly.

"Alright, anyway this fifty yuan was found, so let's just treat you to a meal."

"Come on!" Zhou Andong waved his hand, then pointed to the opposite hotel that looked pretty good: "Let's go there."

Qin Zhi looked, and again wanted to back out, because he and Shi Mengjiao had eaten there before, and it was very expensive.

He was about to speak to object, when he heard Shi Mengjiao say: "We've eaten there before, the taste is good, especially the roasted goose, I haven't had enough."

Well, hearing his wife want to go eat there, Qin Zhi could only agree.

Several people crossed the road and entered the restaurant, it wasn't mealtime, so there weren't many customers inside.

A waiter quickly came over: "Sir, madam, how many of you?"

Qin Zhi waved his hand: "Five!"

"Alright, please follow me." The waiter turned and came to a seat by the window: "Please sit."

After Zhou Andong and the others sat down, the waiter took out the menu and placed it on the table.

Qin Zhi was about to reach for it, when Zhou Andong snatched it away.

"I heard your roasted goose is good, then let's have one."

Qin Zhi's mouth twitched, and he quickly said: "Half a one is enough."

"Five people." Zhou Andong said to the waiter: "Don't listen to him, have one. Also, one steamed mandarin fish, one stuffed tofu, one fermented black bean steamed spare ribs, and one stir-fried celery with snail slices..."

Zhou Andong ordered eight dishes, Qin Zhi kept shouting enough enough.

"Alright!" Zhou Andong put down the menu: "Then two more portions of shrimp dumplings."

"Alright!" The waiter took up the menu and turned to leave.

Qin Zhi gritted his teeth, stared at Zhou Andong: "Do you know, the dishes you ordered, even a hundred yuan isn't enough."

Zhou Andong ignored Qin Zhi, but looked at Shi Mengjiao: "Little sister, when he goes out shopping with you, is he also this stingy?"

Shi Mengjiao pursed her lips and smiled, said nothing, just shook her head.

"Don't be like that!" Zhou Andong said to Qin Zhi: "This time you treat, next time I'll treat, that's all."

"You said it." Qin Zhi immediately seized the opportunity: "After returning to the capital, you must treat me and my wife to a meal."

"No problem!" Zhou Andong assured him firmly, which eased Qin Zhi's stingy heart a little.

Soon the dishes arrived, Zhou Andong and Seeing Jian Qiu weren't particularly hungry either, and Shi Mengjiao didn't eat much.

As long as Zhou Anlei and Qin Zhi, they kept shoveling food into their own mouths.

Zhou Anlei was hungry, Qin Zhi had spent my money, so we needed to eat more.

While eating, the two almost came to blows over a roasted goose leg.

In the end, that roasted goose leg was eaten by Zhou Andong, and only then did the two calm down.

After finishing the meal, Zhou Anlei slumped in his chair, rubbing his belly, and let out several loud belches in a row.

"Stuff yourself to death." Qin Zhi was also full enough to snap, clutching his belly and waving for the waiter to bring the bill.

"Sir, the total is one hundred and seventy-six."

"So expensive?" Qin Zhi winced as he pulled out money to pay.

The waiter left, but Qin Zhi was still feeling the pinch.

"I just picked up fifty yuan, spent a hundred and seventy-six on the meal, and ended up losing over a hundred twenty."

Seeing Jian Qiu said, holding back laughter: "Those fifty yuan were me deliberately throwing them there, just to get you to treat me to a meal."

"..."

Qin Zhi fell silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "You two, can't you do something less than human?"

"Can!" Seeing Jian Qiu nodded.

Zhou Andong said: "Those fifty yuan, just now, I took them out of your pocket."
