As they stepped through the door, the smell of smoke, hotpot, and sweat rushed into their noses. It was a bustling place. It was fine to have a meal here occasionally, but one would not be able to stand it if they stayed too long.
He Long stood at the door of the private room, sending a group of guests out. Wu Chunyan was frantically removing the tables. Old Madam's heart ached, and she went over to help.
"Go to the backyard and rest. There's no need to hurry." Wu Chunyan hurriedly stopped Old Madam and shouted to the waiter, "Hurry up."
Then, he simply put down the plate in his hand and accompanied He Fang and the old lady to the backyard. The backyard was a small courtyard surrounded by walls on three sides. Beside it was a small room that could only fit one bed and two chairs. It was usually used for resting.
The courtyard was full of water stains. Three or four women were plucking chicken feathers and washing dishes. When they saw people coming, they moved their butts to make way.
Although the courtyard was small, it was rare in this area where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold.
In many restaurants, this kind of work was crowded in the kitchen, and it was difficult to do.
"Sit here. I'll pour you some tea." Wu Chunyan asked her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to sit on the bed and went to pour tea.
He Fang said, "No, we just finished drinking at home."
"Why are you here again?" He Long followed them in.
"Her aunt is still worried about Juan Zi. It's all your daughter's fault." Wu Chunyan nudged He Long.
"You speak as if she's not your daughter." He Long pulled a chair and sat down. He said to his sister, "Let her go out to study. See if Brother-in-law can help."
Old Madam said, "Since you've decided to let her go out, why do you need your brother-in-law's help? Don't you have a guest with a child going out? Ask around, what procedures to do, and how much to pay. Won't it all be clear? "
Wu Chunyan smiled. "It's not as simple as you think. I heard there are a lot of procedures, and you have to go to the embassy. We only know a few words, so it's not much use."
"You get a license plate, a car license, and a train ticket. You think it's too troublesome, and you don't want to do it. You even know how to find a scalper. Why don't you know how to do it now? I don't believe that you can't do it with money. " The old lady said, "If it really doesn't work, give me the money. I'll run around for you. I'll give you the money. I'll go find someone who knows how to do this."
Wu Chunyan said, "It's not about that. Brother-in-law is experienced and knowledgeable. The two sisters and their nephews are all studying outside, so they have more experience than us."
Old Mrs. Han said, "According to what you're saying, those who don't have an older sister or a brother-in-law won't be able to study? You don't want to send it out? Look at how they spoil you. Think about it, ever since you came to the city, bought a house, opened a shop, and started a business, which part of you didn't bother others?
Alright, I don't have to do anything. I'll just be a slave to you as our He family should be, okay?
Don't think that I don't know what you're planning. She's your biological sister, so it's only right for her.
You're my brother-in-law, but you're still separated by a layer. You're shameless. "
"What are you talking about?" He Long's face instantly turned red. "I have my own money. I didn't expect brother-in-law to take it."
"Then go and do it yourself." Old Mrs. Han was not afraid of her son's anger.
Wu Chunyan said, "I thought that we're all family, so I didn't treat you like an outsider."
"How can you treat me like an outsider? Shouldn't I give you all the family property? " Old Mrs. Han was really angry. She said to her son hatefully, "As a person, first, you can't forget your roots. Second, you can't be greedy. Think about it, your mother was raised by others. What else do you want?"
"If you don't want to help, then don't." Wu Chunyan said unhappily, "Why are you so angry?"
"You two, if you have any problems in the future, just tell me directly. Don't look for your brother-in-law, okay?" He Fang tried to remain calm. She knew the couple's personalities very well. Without a doubt, it was Wu Chunyan who taught them a lesson.
What else could Wu Chunyan complain about?
"What's with the sour face?" Wu Chunyan turned her head and said to He Long, "I was hoping that rich relatives could help us, but now it seems that it's better to rely on ourselves than on anyone else. People despise us for no reason. Now that we're rich, there's no one in their eyes. We have to rely on ourselves in the future and eat whatever we earn."
"You have to speak with a conscience!" Old Mrs. Han was really angry. "Don't talk about how you and your mother owe them a big favor. Even when your brother Wu Chunqiang came here, how much did they help?
If you don't want to be reasonable, I'll find someone who is reasonable. I'll call your father and mother tonight! Let's see how they teach their daughter! "
"Why are you using my father and mother to pressure me?" Wu Chunyan threw a tantrum.
"Do what you want. I'm too lazy to care." He Fang pulled his mother up and left.
Old Mrs. Han sighed a few times.
"Hey, Sister." He Long couldn't stop them in public. He stood at the door and slapped his thigh angrily. "What a mess!"
He pointed at Wu Chunyan and said, "I said don't do it. Don't do it. You just …"
"What? Do you regret it? Then go after them. "Wu Chunyan stood behind him and crossed her arms." If you go after them, don't come back. "
"You're getting more and more unreasonable!" He Long clenched his teeth.
"You don't like me anymore? Fine. "Wu Chunyan didn't give in." From now on, you can stay with your mother and sister. "
"Don't think that I can't live without you!" He Long pulled the apron off his body and turned to leave.
"Don't come back if you dare!" Wu Chunyan shouted at his back. After that, she squatted on the ground and cried. When she saw someone looking at her, she quickly wiped her tears and returned to the shop.
He Long walked for a mile in a fit of pique. Then he realized that he had no destination. Go home? He was too embarrassed.
Go to his sister's place?
If his brother-in-law found out, he would be too ashamed to show his face.
He slapped his head and stopped a taxi to go to his brother-in-law, Wu Chunqiang's place.
Although Wu Chunqiang's restaurant was called a restaurant, it was actually a small noodle shop. It was about four feet wide and nine feet long. There were two long wooden boards on both sides of the wall. Those who wanted to eat here had to squeeze in sideways to sit down.
There was a big coal stove and a long table at the entrance. If you met the city management, you would have to find a way to hide inside.
Although it was an inconspicuous shop, it was located in a prosperous commercial center. Even if it was demolished, it could be replaced with a second house. But it couldn't compare to the good quality and chewiness of his noodles. In Old Li's words, he could sell enough noodles a year to circle the earth. Therefore, he could earn at least 400,000 yuan a year!
"How can I not be busy?" The noodle shop had passed its peak hour. At the moment, there were only a few customers sitting inside. Wu Chunqiang squatted in the corner and smoked, letting his wife busy herself.
