Li Dan spoke first, "Aunt Zhao, are you healthy? I want to go to the hospital to see you, but I don't know which ward you are staying in..."
Ever since she learned that Zhao's mother was hospitalized for her own affairs, she felt guilty.
I called Zhao Dong, but no one answered.
I called my sister-in-law and was hung up directly.
She stood here for more than an hour, and finally waited for the Zhao family to come back.
Mother Zhao smiled and said, "Silly child, it has nothing to do with you. Don't cry, go ahead, it's okay."
Li Dan wiped his tears.
My sister-in-law's face was not pretty, and she mocked, "Oh, who should I show her pitiful look?"
Li Dan subconsciously took a step back.
Everyone in the Zhao family is easy to talk to, except for the eldest sister-in-law.
On weekdays, she is most afraid of her sister-in-law, so she hides when she meets her. Today she has no choice but to bite the bullet and can’t do anything about it.
She forced herself to smile and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry..."
My sister-in-law didn't appreciate it, "Sorry? My mother-in-law was hospitalized for your family's affairs. From beginning to end, she didn't see any of your family's figures! You are quite conscientious, where is your brother, where is your sister-in-law?"
Li Dan explained, "They are busy now, saying yes... they will go up to see Aunt Zhao later."
"Come on, don't come."
Mama Zhao was generous, "Okay, my eldest daughter-in-law, stop talking, it's not a fault for this child."
The eldest brother also advised him, "That's right, just say a few words."
After saying that, he comforted him: "Xiao Dan, it's okay, you go back first, and go back and tell your brother and your sister-in-law that there is nothing to do, so there is no need to worry about it."
The sister-in-law sneered, "What, Boss Zhao, you also want to learn from Xiaodong and want a hero to save the beauty, right?"
The eldest brother looked embarrassed, "How are you talking..."
The eldest sister-in-law pushed, "Don't you just leave quickly, and you can't move when you see the little girl. What's wrong with it?"
Li Dan looked backwards, looked at Sophie, and said apologetically, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry..."
Sophie seemed to have not heard it, ignored it and walked straight past her.
Li Dan was so aggrieved that tears were almost falling out when he looked at Zhao Dong.
Zhao Dong waved his hand, "Don't cry, it's not your business..."
As soon as he said a few words, he heard Sophie speak, "Zhao Dong, you want to sleep outside tonight, do you?"
...
Li Dan walked back to the store with great worries.
The business in the store is pretty good. Although Mrs. Li is busy, her eyes are always paying attention to the window.
When Zhao's mother got off the car, she knew that she was embarrassed to come forward and say hello out of guilt.
Seeing Li Dan come back, Mrs. Li waved quickly, "Xiao Dan, come here, how about Mama Zhao?"
Li Dan shook his head, "Nothing is wrong."
Mrs. Li sighed relieved, "That's good, that's good."
Li Dan was so aggrieved, "Sister-in-law, this afternoon, we should go and see Aunt Zhao's..."
Mrs. Li complained, "What am I going to see? Isn't it because of you? You are so capable that you even sued the Zhao family. Can your sister-in-law still harm you?"
As she said that, she glared at Li Dan with resentment, "What are you looking at? You haven't gone to work yet? You can't even look down on such a good marriage!"
Brother Li was not in the store in the afternoon and asked, "What happened in the afternoon? Tell me about it."
Mrs. Li complained all over, "I'm also saying that they are all your good sister!"
Brother Li only realized after hearing this that Miao Daqing was so bold that he actually went to trouble Zhao's mother.
Mrs. Li said to herself, "Tell me that the second son of the Zhao family is really not a good-looking person. She dares to smash Miao Daqing's shop alone!"
Brother Li admired, "This kid is quite capable. Miao Daqing has been rampant in the vegetable market for so many years, but I haven't heard anyone be able to cure him!"
Mrs. Li agreed, "No, if you want to say that Zhao Dong is really a powerful person, it's a pity that people look down on your sister!"
As she said that, she hummed, "My heart is higher than the sky, my life is thinner than paper. The dead girl has no luck. Otherwise, even if I pay the money, I am willing to promote good things between her and Zhao Dong!"
Brother Li was a little unhappy, "Is there anyone who said that to your sister?"
Mrs. Li changed the topic, "I heard that Kong Er went there this afternoon, but when she saw Zhao Dong there, she didn't even dare to put a single fart!"
Brother Li sighed, "Is it true or false?"
The couple do hot pot business all year round and often go to the vegetable market to purchase ingredients and ingredients.
Whenever they enter and exit the vegetable market, they will be exploited by Kong Er and others.
If Li Dan really could climb to Zhao Dong, they would be free to enter and exit the vegetable market in the future, not only would they have a good face, but they would also save a lot of money.
Unfortunately, my sister doesn’t have that blessing.
Brother Li thought for a while, "Why don't we go up and take a look? No matter how you say this, it's because of Xiao Dan."
Mrs. Li said, "It's okay, Mama Zhao is easy to talk to and can't tell you. The two sons of the Zhao family probably don't know how to say anything."
"It's that eldest daughter-in-law, it's too difficult. If we come to admit our mistakes, she will definitely have an excuse to raise the rent."
"Besides, this matter has nothing to do with us. It was Miao Daqing who took action. Why did I admit my mistake?"
Brother Li wanted to say something, but he knew his wife's stingy temperament and was so irresistible that she could only hold back when she spoke.
...
The hot pot restaurant is doing well, and Brother Li and Sister Li are busy. It was not until after eleven o'clock that the guests gradually dispersed.
Li Dan was absent-minded all night and wanted to send a message to Zhao Dong to express his apology, but was afraid that Sophie would misunderstand.
It was so tormenting that the last table of customers settled the bill.
Just as I was thinking, there was a figure walking around at the door.
Mrs. Li said carelessly, "It's closed, I won't do business anymore..."
As she said that, she was stunned, "Yeah, Xiaodong, why are you here? Sit down!"
When Li Dan heard Zhao Dong coming, he hurriedly greeted him, "Brother Dong!"
Zhao Dong signaled that it was okay and sat down on his own.
Brother Li opened the cigarette box and said, "Xiaodong, smoke!"
Zhao Dong waved his hand, "I won't smoke anymore. I'll finish my work later, let's talk about something."
Brother Li took back the cigarette box awkwardly and said to Li Dan: "Xiao Dan, go and pour a pot of water for your Brother Dong!"
Li Dan hurried to the kitchen, and after a while, a pot of hot tea was filled.
Zhao Dong took a sip of tea, "How is that, did Miao Daqing cause trouble for you later?"
Li Dan shook his head, "No, he called in the afternoon and said he would forget about the marriage."
The two of them were chatting together.
After a while, Mrs. Li finished her work.
She wiped her hands and sat down, "Xiaodong, what's the matter?"
Zhao Dong looked at her, "Sister-in-law, in two months, the contract this year will expire, right?"
Mrs. Li's heart was shocked. She was really afraid of anything she wanted.
She looked at Brother Li, then smiled and said, "Xiaodong, you might be here to increase your rent, it's not easy to do business in the past two years, there is really no profit..."
Zhao Dong interrupted, "It's not about raising the rent."
Mrs. Li sighed relieved, "Look at you, I scared my sister-in-law. What's that?"
Zhao Dong took a sip of tea, and a sentence was like a thunderclap on the ground, "The contract expires, and the storefront will not be rented. You have a preparation. If you want to cancel the rent in advance, I will make up for you the remaining rent!"
