Urban Hidden Dragon

Chapter 363 Thunder on the Ground
Li Dan spoke first, "Aunt Zhao, are you alright? I want to visit you in the hospital, but I don't know which ward you live in..."

Ever since she found out that Zhao's mother was hospitalized because of her own affairs, she felt guilty.

Called Zhao Dong, but no one answered.

Called my sister-in-law and was hung up directly.

She stood here for more than an hour, and finally waited until the Zhao family came back.

Zhao's mother smiled and said, "Silly boy, it has nothing to do with you, don't cry, go, it will be fine in the future."

Li Dan wiped away tears.

The sister-in-law's complexion was not pretty, and she said mockingly: "Hey, who is this pitiful look for?"

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 was also most afraid of her sister-in-law, and would avoid meeting her, but today she had no choice but to bite the bullet.

She forced a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry..."

The sister-in-law didn't appreciate it, "I'm sorry? My mother-in-law was hospitalized because of your family's affairs. From the beginning to the end, I didn't see a single person in your family! You still have a conscience. Where's your brother? Where's your sister-in-law?"

Li Dan explained, "They are busy right now, so they said... they will go up to see Aunt Zhao in a while."

"Come on, don't come either."

Zhao's mother was generous, "Okay, boss daughter-in-law, don't talk about it, and don't blame this child."

The eldest brother also persuaded, "That's right, just say a few words."

After talking too much, he comforted: "Xiaodan, it's okay, you go back first, go back and tell your brother and sister-in-law, it's okay, don't bother."

The sister-in-law sneered, "What's the matter, Boss Zhao, you also want to follow Xiaodong's example and want to be a hero to save the beauty, right?"

The eldest brother looked embarrassed, "Why are you talking..."

The sister-in-law pushed, "Why don't you just leave quickly, you can't move when you see a little girl, what's wrong?"

Li Dan turned his eyes to Sophie's and said apologetically, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry..."

Sophie didn't seem to hear, ignored her, and walked past her.

Li Dan was so wronged that tears almost fell out when he looked at Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong waved his hand, "Don't cry, it's none of your business..."

As soon as he said a few words, he heard Sophie say, "Zhao Dong, you want to sleep outside tonight, don't you?"

……

Li Dan walked back to the store with a heavy heart.

The business in the store is not bad. Although Mrs. Li is busy, she keeps her eyes on the window.

When Zhao's mother got out of the car, she knew that she was embarrassed to say hello out of guilt.

Seeing Li Dan coming back, Aunt Li waved hurriedly, "Xiao Dan, come here, how is Mama Zhao?"

Li Dan shook his head, "It's nothing."

Aunt Li breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."

Li Dan was wronged, "Sister-in-law, this afternoon, we should go and see Aunt Zhao's..."

Sister-in-law Li complained, "What am I going to see? Isn't it because of you? You are really talented, and the complaint has even been filed against the Zhao family. Could it be that sister-in-law can still harm you?"

As she said that, she glared at Li Dan complainingly, "What are you looking at, why don't you go to work? Money-losing goods, things that are upside down, even such a good marriage can't be looked down upon, I just let you mess up!"

Brother Li was not in the store in the afternoon, so he asked, "Tell me what happened in the afternoon."

Mrs. Li was full of slander, "What's more, it's your good sister!"

Brother Li found out after listening to it that Miao Daqing was so bold that he actually went to find trouble with Zhao's mother.

Mrs. Li said to herself, "Talk about the second son of the Zhao family. He is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. He dared to smash Miao Daqing's shop by himself!"

Brother Li admired, "This kid is quite capable. Miao Daqing has been domineering in the vegetable market for so many years, and I haven't heard of anyone who can cure him!"

Mrs. Li agreed, "That's right, Zhao Dong is really a powerful character, but it's a pity that people don't like your sister!"

As she said that, she snorted, "My heart is higher than the sky, and my life is thinner than paper. A dead girl doesn't have that kind of luck. Otherwise, even if I pay for it, I'm willing to facilitate her and Zhao Dong's good deeds!"

Brother Li was a little unhappy, "Did you say that about my sister?"

Mrs. Li changed the subject, "I heard that Kong Er went there this afternoon, but when he saw Zhao Dong there, he didn't even dare to fart!"

Brother Li sighed, "Really?"

The husband and wife have been in the hot pot business all year round, and often go to the vegetable market to buy ingredients and ingredients.

Every time he entered or exited the vegetable market, he would be exploited by Kong Er and others.

If Li Dan can really climb up to Zhao Dong, they will be free to go in and out of the vegetable market in the future, not only will they look good, but they will also save a lot of money.

Unfortunately, my sister does not have that blessing.

Brother Li thought for a while, "Why don't we go up and have a look later? It's all because of Xiao Dan."

Mrs. Li said plausibly, "It's okay, Mother Zhao is easy to talk and doesn't know how to argue, and the two sons of the Zhao family probably don't know what to say."

"It's the eldest daughter-in-law, who is too difficult to deal with. If we come to the door and admit our mistakes, she must have an excuse to increase the rent."

"Besides, this matter has nothing to do with us. It was Miao Daqing who did it. Why should I admit my mistake?"

Brother Li wanted to say something else, but he knew his daughter-in-law's stingy temper, the kind of stingy, so he could only hold back the words.

……

The business of the hotpot restaurant was good, Brother Li and Aunt Li were busy, and the customers gradually dispersed after eleven o'clock.

Li Dan was absent-minded all night. He wanted to send a message to Zhao Dong to express his apology, but he was afraid that Sophie might misunderstand.

After suffering like this, the last table of guests settled the bill.

Just as he was thinking, there was a figure walking by the door.

Mrs. Li said carelessly, "It's closed, no more business..."

As she said that, she was taken aback, "Yo, Xiaodong, why are you here? Sit down!"

Li Dan heard Zhao Dong coming, and hurriedly greeted him, "Brother Dong!"

Zhao Dong signaled that it was okay, and sat down on his own.

Brother Li opened the cigarette case, "Xiaodong, smoke!"

Zhao Dong waved his hand, "No more cigarettes, I'll finish my work later, let's talk about something."

Brother Li took back the cigarette case in embarrassment, and said to Li Dan: "Xiao Dan, go and pour a pot of water for 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 about it, did that Miao Daqing trouble you later?"

Li Dan shook his head, "No, he called in the afternoon and said that the marriage is fine."

The two chatted with each other.

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, this year's contract will expire, right?"

Mrs. Li's heart skipped a beat, she was really afraid of something.

She exchanged glances with Brother Li, and then said with a smile, "Xiaodong, you are here to raise the rent, right? The business has not been doing well in the past two years, and there is really no profit..."

Zhao Dong interrupted, "It's not a rent increase."

Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Look at you, you scared my sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Zhao Dong took a sip of his tea, and his words were like a thunderbolt, "The contract expires, and the facade will not be rented. You have a plan. If you want to cancel the rent early, I will pay you the rest of the rent!"
