Chapter 2866

~5 min read 859 words

The boss lady was very efficient, pushing three small tables together and arranging the small stools in a circle, then picking up a clipboard and pen and said: "Bosses, what would you like to eat?"

"Sister-in-law, what do you like to eat?" Zhou Li looked toward Seeing Jian Qiu, and this "sister-in-law" came much more smoothly than when she had just called Zhou Andong "brother."

Seeing Jian Qiu said: "We've already finished our meal, just order a few dishes casually."

Zhou Li hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said: "Boss lady, bring a plate of salt-and-pepper mantis shrimp, stir-fried water spinach with shrimp paste, and stir-fried field snails..."

"Enough, enough!" Seeing Jian Qiu hurriedly stopped Zhou Li: "You've ordered so much you can't finish it, don't waste."

Zhou Li had ordered eight dishes in one breath, and if Seeing Jian Qiu hadn't stopped her she would have ordered more: "Alright, then these will do, and two bottles of Shengli beer, ice-cold."

The boss lady turned and left, quickly bringing over the ice-cold beer: "Bosses, please wait a moment, the dishes will be ready soon."

"No rush!" Qin Zhi waved his hand, then picked up a bottle opener and began clicking open the beer.

"Big brother!" Qin Zhi placed a bottle of beer in front of Zhou Dongbei: "I'm Qin Zhi, Dongbei's brother, and in Yangcheng I still have some face. If there's anything you can't resolve in the future, come find me."

"Qin Zhi, cut the bullshit, is that face yours?" Zhang Zuo said with a sneer: "That face belongs to Dongbei, your face falling on the ground would make anyone who sees it have to walk around, afraid of stepping on dirt."

"You son of a bitch, treating me like dog shit!" Qin Zhi flew into a rage, grabbed the chopsticks on the table and threw them over.

Zhang Zuo snatched the chopsticks in one hand, laughing and said: "I didn't expect you to have such self-awareness."

"Enough!" Seeing Jian Qiu glared at the two of them: "Are you going to keep making a fuss?"

Zhang Zuo and Qin Zhi immediately shut up, Shi Mengjiao pursed her lips and smiled, then shot Qin Zhi a glare and said: "Serves you right!"

Zhou Andong laughed, raised his beer bottle and said: "Big brother, sister-in-law, Li Li, back when my grandfather and third grandfather spoke of the eldest grandfather, they all thought he was already dead. Whether he left descendants is hard to say, but even if he did, there would be no way to find them.

Yet in the dark, there is a hand, fiddling with the trajectory of our fate, dragging us together, letting our family reunite. Let us together toast to Heaven's Lord, thanking him for his merciful heart, allowing our Zhou family to recognize each other.

Zhou Li's eye sockets were a little red, after all she's a girl, always so sentimental: "Big brother, I never dared to dream in my sleep that I would be Zhou Andong's cousin. Even now, I still feel it's unreal."

Zhou Dongbei is honest and simple-minded, not good with words, not knowing what to say, just holding up his beer bottle, echoing Zhou Andong: "Nothing more to say, toast to Heaven's Lord!"

Tang Lin laughed heartily and said: "You family members recognizing each other, reuniting, Heaven's Lord let us witness all of this with our own eyes. Come, let us together toast to Heaven's Lord."

"Toast to Heaven's Lord!" Qin Zhi shouted loudly, drawing the gaze of many people around.

"Ding!"

Everyone raised their beer bottles, clinked them together in the air, then tilted their necks and gulped down the beer. Even Yuan Yuyu, Zhou Li, Shi Mengjiao, and Sun Yan drank half a bottle in one go.

"This ice-cold beer is damn refreshing!" Zhang Zuo wiped his mouth: "Speaking of which, the three Zhou grandfather brothers are all legends. If the eldest grandfather had walked the righteous path, he probably wouldn't be worse than the second and third grandfathers."

"Sigh!" Zhou Andong sighed: "Whose family doesn't have a wastrel? Just take you, Zhang Zuo—aren't you also a famous wastrel of the Zhang family?"

"Bullshit!" Zhang Zuo said dissatisfied: "The most famous wastrel in our family is Zhang You, what does that have to do with me?"

Qin Zhi said mockingly: "You two brothers are six of one and half a dozen of the other, neither of you should say anything about the other."

Zhang Zuo was about to retort, when the boss lady brought up the stir-fried snails: "Bosses, the stir-fried snails are here, drink slowly, the other dishes will be ready soon."

"No rush!" Zhou Andong replied, then picked up another beer bottle and took a sip: "Big brother, coming over this late isn't just to recognize you, there's also a matter to discuss, namely Zhou Li's car accident."

At this moment, Tang Lin took out his cigarettes, first handing one to Zhou Andong: "Dongbei, have one."

Zhou Andong took the cigarette, pulled out his lighter and lit it, then continued: "We know who the perpetrator is, but this person's background is very deep, so..."
