Zhao Dong had a rare rest. He chatted with his mother at home for a while and was busy buying vegetables and cooking.
As the meal was approaching, Sophie sent a message, "Don't wait for social engagements tonight."
He didn't think much about it and replied, "Let's have lunch together that night, and I'll introduce my brother to you. Don't you still want to match him and Li Dan?"
After not replying for a long time, the sister-in-law asked at the dinner table, "By the way, Xiaodong, what is Xiaofei's family doing?"
Zhao Dong was a little confused and didn't know why his sister-in-law asked this.
However, Sophie told her not to tell her family about her family's situation, so he didn't explain it in detail.
He replied vaguely: "I don't know much, are you doing business?"
The eldest brother put down the wine glass, "Why can't you call me clearly? Xiao Fei, you are your girlfriend. You don't even know her family situation. If you don't know the truth, what else do you do?"
Zhao Dong was even more suspicious. The elder brother who had never cared about these things actually asked on his own initiative. Could it be that he had heard some news?
It was hard to respond, so I simply said: "That's right, Xiao Fei's parents both work in the company, so they should be senior executives."
The eldest sister-in-law asked again, "Then have you been to her house?"
Zhao Dong honestly said, "Not yet."
The sister-in-law frowned, "Have you been there? She has moved into our house. Have you been to her house yet?"
Zhao Dong smiled, "Xiao Fei's parents are busy with work. Besides, I haven't achieved my career and I feel embarrassed to come to my house."
What else did the sister-in-law want to ask? Mom Zhao knocked on the table, "Eat!"
The topic stopped here.
After dinner, Sophie's message finally came back, with only one word, "Okay!"
Zhao Dong immediately called Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi said in surprise: "I was about to call you, but I had already raised the money!"
Zhao Dong was also surprised, "So quickly? Let's talk about it when we meet, have a midnight snack together tonight, and you can also clean up!"
Yu Zhi smiled foolishly, "What are you cleaning up? Your wife is here too? Good boy, I thought you were planning to hide the beauty in the golden house!"
Zhao Dong reminded him, "She will go, but I'm still invited someone."
Yu Zhi was able to understand it at one point, "Li Dan?"
Zhao Dong reminded, "That's right, be generous tonight and take the initiative to treat you, and I won't argue with you!"
Yu Zhi smiled, "Dongzi, you are really brotherly!"
After the phone was hung up, Zhao Dong sent another message to Li Dan.
Soon, there was a reply there, "Brother Dong, I can find it there, see you!"
...
The new store is quite clean, but the location is a bit off, but fortunately it is only two streets away, which is convenient.
For the whole afternoon, Li Dan helped clean up the store.
It was almost eight o'clock that she put down the rag and packed it up.
I changed into a new set of clothes I just bought, simplified my makeup, and was in a good mood when I put on makeup, and hummed a song.
Sister Li winked and gestured beside her, and Brother Li pretended not to see it.
The appointment time was made, Li Dan went out on time.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Mrs. Li asked in surprise, "Xiao Dan, where are you going?"
Li Dan looked in the mirror, "Brother Dong asked me to go out for a midnight snack!"
Mrs. Li said sourly, "You need to dress up so beautifully when you have dinner with Zhao Dong? Sister-in-law can remind you that Zhao Dong has a family."
Li Dan didn't like to hear his sister-in-law say bad things about Zhao Dong, so she responded vaguely and left the house.
When she walked away, Mrs. Li muttered, "Did you see it? She also said that she had nothing to do with Zhao Dong, and her soul was almost hooked away by Zhao Dong!"
"One day, Zhao Dong will sell her, and you silly sister will count the money for others!
Brother Li's face changed, "Okay, are you finished?"
Mrs. Li didn't dare to respond.
As he was talking, someone knocked on the door outside.
Brother Li wiped his sweat and said hurriedly, "Sorry, we just moved here today and haven't started business yet."
The young people walked in were a group of young people, leading by yellow hair, chewing gum in their mouths, and hugging a girl of the same age in their arms.
Someone pulled a chair for him and sat down with a big golden knife, "I know you are not open yet. If you eat, my brothers and I will not come!"
Brother Li saw that something was wrong and signaled Mrs. Li to pour tea, "Several little brothers, this is..."
A little brother kicked over the stool, "Who the fuck is your brother? Call me Brother Yu!"
When Mrs. Li heard this, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to quarrel. In her opinion, the child who called herself "Brother Yu" was at most in her early twenties.
If you ask your own man to call him brother, you are not afraid of losing your life!
Brother Li stopped him, then took out a cigarette and handed it over, "Brother Yu, smoke a cigarette. We have just moved from the next street. Please take care of me in the future."
Brother Yu took the cigarette and saw that it was Li Qun. He curled his lips, "After all, he is the owner of a hot pot restaurant, so how about smoking this kind of cigarette?"
Brother Li hurriedly pulled out two hundred yuan from his body, "I'm sorry, I just moved today and I don't have any good cigarettes on hand. Brothers, go and buy them yourself!"
Brother Yu took the money and stepped forward and patted Brother Li on the shoulder, "Okay, I have the eyesight!"
As he said that, he changed his tone, "By the way, did you throw the pile of garbage outside?"
Brother Li looked outside and found that they were all old things that were packed out of the moving house, so he threw them to the trash can on the side of the road.
Brother Yu crossed his legs, "Pay the cleaning fee!"
Brother Li explained, "What cleaning fee? What is the garbage transportation fee? We paid it when we paid the rent, it's all year round!"
A little brother stepped forward and pushed Brother Li and said, "How do you say it? Treat our brothers as garbage collectors? That's called cleaning fees!"
Brother Li laughed, "Yes, yes, cleaning fee."
Brother Yu waved his hand and signaled, "There are 500 yuan in total, I will hand over the money first! Don't put anything on the street in the future, do you hear it?"
Mrs. Li was so angry that she had paid the shipping fee, and she came to collect the cleaning fee again!
Isn’t this an obvious mistake when I get the money but don’t do the job?
She wanted to open her mouth to speak, but Brother Li was held back.
With the money, a group of people left shouting and shouting.
Mrs. Li looked resentful, "Why is the head of the family? Just open your mouth and care about us asking for money?"
Brother Li was in trouble, "Music brings wealth. Let's move here on the first day and try not to offend these local snakes."
"Even if they don't give it to you today, they will use other excuses to ask for money tomorrow. Give it early and save it worry. There is no need to offend such people!"
Mrs. Li muttered, "You are just so easy to talk to. When I was alone in the store, why didn't I hear anyone dare to ask for money? It's just for them to be accustomed to it!"
Brother Li smiled bitterly and was embarrassed to tell the truth.
No one dared to ask for money indiscriminately before because Zhao Dong had already cleaned up all the gangsters on the street.
Go and find Zhao Dong now?
He has no face to open his mouth.
...
The party was a food stall that Zhao Dong found, including seafood, barbecue and stir-fry.
It's nine o'clock in the evening when business is booming.
He came early and occupied a street position in advance.
Quiet and cool, and not many people are coming and passing by.
Drinking beer, blowing the wind, chatting, and relaxing.
Zhao Dong was bored while sitting, ordered a braised peanut, opened a bottle of beer, and waited while eating.
