Chapter 275: Just to let him go back and argue

Seeing Pangzi standing at the door, Yu Li hurriedly waved at him and said:

"Pangzi, come in and speak, come in and speak."

Pangzi nodded and walked in.

"Manager Yu, I've tidied up the back kitchen neatly."

"What do you need from me?"

Yu Li picked up a bag of fruit from the ground and handed it to Pangzi, saying:

"Come, take this back for your family to eat."

Upon seeing this, San Da Ma was instantly overcome with envy.

Pangzi took it and said:

"This, how should I put it? You really are... you've been so good to me."

Yu Li asked: "Did Shazhu handle the food he took away according to my instructions?"

Pangzi: "Manager, you can be completely at ease about this."

"Everything was done exactly as you instructed."

"If a dish was cooked a bit more, I'd just scoop out a little from that dish, uh."

Yu Li nodded and happily said:

"Alright, you can go back first."

Pangzi: "Okay, then I'll head back first."

Yan Jiecheng: "Hey, let's go."

San Da Ma looked at Pangzi's retreating back, then turned her gaze to Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng blinked a few times, avoided San Da Ma's gaze, and pretended to settle accounts with Yu Li.

San Da Ma glanced at them, then walked away looking displeased.

Yan Jiecheng watched her retreating back and muttered quietly:

"You say my mom is really something."

"All she does is think about nice things."

Siheyuan.

Shazhu poured wine while saying:

"Down this one, then have another."

Qin Huairu hurriedly stopped him:

"No more, you've had too much to drink."

"Today I'm in charge, we can't drink any more."

"That's enough for now."

Having said that, she took the wine away.

"If we keep drinking, those old guys and Shazhu will eat all the dishes."

Qin Huairu felt sorry.

Shazhu said with a sullen face:

"What did we drink?"

"We only had a little, this is nowhere near enough."

Qin Huairu had just stood up when she saw Yan Bu Gui slowly walking into the Zhongyuan with a somewhat dejected air.

"San Da Ye."

"Come on, what's up?"

"Come over, come over, let's drink together."

Shazhu shouted: "San Da Ye, don't hide, come over, come over."

Qin Huairu watched Yan Bu Gui approach and asked:

"Have you eaten yet?"

Yan Bu Gui smiled but said nothing.

Qin Huairu: "Come on, come on, sit with everyone."

Upon hearing that, Yan Bu Gui became instantly overjoyed.

"That's exactly what I've been waiting for."

He then walked over laughing and said:

"Ah, I heard that Second Elder doesn't hold grudges and came here to join us."

Upon reaching the table, he was dumbfounded.

"No, no, you, you guys are eating this well?"

"This is too lavish."

Shazhu with a proud look: "So what about it?"

Yan Bu Gui sighed: "This, what a haul, how much does this cost?"

Shazhu: "It's expensive, it ate up all the retirement funds."

Yan Bu Gui stared: "Wow, this is so much!"

"This is too extravagant."

"This, who can afford to eat this?"

Yi Zhonghai raised his wine cup, looked at Yan Bu Gui and smiled:

Want a drink?

Yan Bu Gui excitedly reached out, saying, "Oh, I'm honored, I'm honored."

Then.

Took the wine cup from Yi Zhonghai's hand.

Shazhu smiled and said:

San Da Ye, let me say a word.

After I say this, you won't be able to drink this wine—do you believe me?

Yan Bu Gui smiled but said nothing.

Shazhu looked at him and asked, "Do you know where this food and wine come from?"

Yan Bu Gui shook his head.

Shazhu then said, "It was brought back from your daughter-in-law's restaurant."

Qin Huairu: "Oh, shut up."

Shazhu: "I can't shut up."

If you keep quiet, you'll have drunk this wine for nothing.

Having said this, he looked at Yan Bu Gui, finger poking the table, and asked:

Your eldest son and his wife have kept this restaurant open for so long.

Have you even taken a bite?

Having said this, he raised his hand pointing at Yan Bu Gui, then continued:

Speak from the heart, just say it.

Yan Bu Gui's smile had already frozen.

He furrowed his brow, pointed at the dishes on the table, and asked:

Shazhu, are these dishes all brought back by you?

Shazhu raised his voice: "You didn't see that day, did you?"

I've made an agreement with your eldest daughter-in-law: besides the wages, I'm allowed to bring dishes home.

I just ask you: have you even taken a bite of the dishes from your eldest daughter-in-law's restaurant?

Yan Bu Gui snorted, set the wine cup on the table, waved his hand, and said angrily:

This wine really is undrinkable.

You say my son and daughter-in-law run this restaurant, yet I haven't enjoyed even a bite.

Lao Yi and Lao Liu, meanwhile, have enjoyed it.

What do you call this?

After saying that, he stood up with a dark face.

However, just as he took a step, he turned back.

Then.

Amid everyone's shock, he lifted the wine cup, put on a full-face smile, and said:

Not drinking would be impolite.

This also lets down Yi Zhonghai's thoughtfulness.

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said:

Hey, nobody invited you to drink, yet you're talking.

Yan Bu Gui pretended not to hear, lifted the wine cup, tilted his neck, and downed it in one gulp.

Shazhu mocked: "See? San Da Ye, with all that face, just has that little ambition."

Yan Bu Gui put down the wine cup, glared at Shazhu, and said:

Alright, alright, don't say anything else.

Then.

He turned and left.

Qin Huairu stood up, forced a sympathetic expression, and watched Yan Bu Gui leave.

Only after she could no longer see Yan Bu Gui's back did she turn around, pat Shazhu's shoulder, and scold:

Shazhu, is that how you talk?

This will make San Da Ye feel even more heartbroken, right?

Besides, talking like that isn't it just making San Da Ye go home and argue?

Shazhu turned his head, glanced at Qin Huairu, and chuckled:

Exactly, I just want him to go home and argue.

Whipping his son would be satisfying.

Liu Haizhong laughed: "Old Yan doesn't dare, he lacks the guts."

If it were me, I'd whip him to death without hesitation.

Yi Zhonghai also laughed: "Yeah, you've got the guts, you've chased the kids away."

Liu Haizhong: "You......"

Qin Huairu: "Alright, you two old brothers, don't start arguing again."

Shazhu: "Ah, you guys just didn't see."

How old is his mother? Over sixty, and she's still picking up trash at their restaurant.

Upon hearing that, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong both turned their gazes to Shazhu, both somewhat surprised.

Qin Huairu: "Ah, for that little wage?"

Shazhu said indignantly: "Exactly, that's his mother."

"Can't you give the two wages without working?"

Liu Haizhong looked at Jia Zhangshi, who had been sitting there silently, and said:

"Old sister‑in‑law, I reckon I'm…"

"You ask why I didn't see it—Shazhu has such enlightenment?"
