Get something in the courtyard

When Xu Damao heard about the dinner invitation, he was immediately very dissatisfied and scolded Liu Haizhong: "Second Uncle, what can I say? How much money do you earn, and you're thinking about treating us?"

Liu Haizhong regained his consciousness and felt very regretful. However, he couldn't take back what he had said.

"Da Mao, as a neighbor, what's wrong with inviting everyone to dinner? Last time, these two rebellious sons emptied the house and your second aunt was so angry that she fell ill. At that time, it was thanks to the help of the neighbors in the yard.

I have never repaid this favor.

Also, you don’t have a child now, have you thought about what to do when you are old? I am doing this for the future.”

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu shrank their heads back, afraid that Liu Haizhong would remember what they had done.

Xu Damao was very disdainful of Liu Haizhong's words. First, he had not given up and felt that he would definitely have a child; second, he did not trust these people in the hospital at all.

He had lived in the courtyard for so many years and knew the neighbors there too well. It was good that those people didn't expect to make the whole family rich, so don't expect them to help you.

Last time, Yi Zhonghai did bring people to help Liu Haizhong, but in the end, he did not do so for the purpose of plotting against Liu Haizhong. He wanted to pull Liu Haizhong over to take care of Qin Huairu together.

Xu Damao could see it, but he couldn't say it. Even if he did, Liu Haizhong wouldn't believe it.

Liu Haizhong continued, "Anyway, Wang Kun has agreed to give us a 20% discount, which is much better than others. At worst, you don't have to pay this time, I'll cover it all.

I have no other request, just one, don't make trouble for me."

Seeing that he had said that, Xu Damao didn't know what to say: "Well, you always like to show off, that's your business. I'll listen to you and just bring a mouth to eat, okay?"

When Yi Zhonghai learned that Liu Haizhong had agreed, he was overjoyed, and then he started to take action.

This kind of thing, which can make others grateful without spending any money himself, is what he is best at.

So, everyone in the entire courtyard, including the families in the middle courtyard and the back courtyard, knew that the three uncles had joined forces to treat everyone in the courtyard to a meal.

As for Tian Youfu and his family in the front yard, Liu Haizhong wanted to notify them, but was rejected by Yi Zhonghai.

The reason given by Yi Zhonghai was that they had a good relationship with Wang Kun and they didn't need this food. Then he said that several people, with the support of Wang Kun, had disrespected Liu Haizhong and successfully deceived Liu Haizhong.

Tian Youfu and his family all knew about Yi Zhonghai's trick, but they didn't care at all. It would be best if they were not notified. If they were notified, they would have to find a way to refuse. They were all very busy now, so how could they have time to ask for leave for a meal?

To put it bluntly, their daily salary can now earn enough money for a meal.

On the day of the dinner party, the families looked very formal and all wore new clothes, as if it was a very important event.

But when they arrived at the restaurant, Yi Zhonghai's face darkened. The purpose of this dinner was not only to entertain guests, but also to build relationships with the people in the hospital.

But most of the young people in the courtyard didn't come. What was going on? The only ones who came were old men, old ladies and children. Who should he treat to a meal?

Qin Huairu saw that something was wrong and hurriedly got up to investigate.

The other person's attitude was very good, and he apologized right away: "Huai Ru, I'm sorry. My children and my husband both work, so I really can't take a leave."

"Huai Ru, my child asked me to apologize to the first and second uncles. They are busy at the factory and can't get away."

Even when she invited people to dinner, no one showed up. What else could Qin Huairu say? When she went back and told Yi Zhonghai about it, Yi Zhonghai's face turned even darker.

"That's outrageous."

Apart from this, Yi Zhonghai couldn't say anything else. He Daqing sat on a chair and talked with Xu Damao. The two were talking very lively, but were interrupted by Yi Zhonghai.

"Old Yi, what's wrong with you again? You are the only one who is not hungry after eating a full meal, and you think everyone else is the same as you."

How familiar this sentence is.

Yi Zhonghai had fooled Sha Zhu in this way before, and successfully made Sha Zhu forget that he had a sister.

Yan Bugui said quickly: "Okay, Lao Yi, if they don't come, you can save money. To be honest, if I had such a good job, I would not be willing to take leave to eat."

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he couldn't speak. He complained, "It must be Wang Kun who did something bad and deliberately didn't grant them leave."

At this time, how could Sha Zhu be missing? After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, he said disdainfully: "Only you would do this. He earns ten yuan a day, and Aunt Li's eldest son and his wife make twenty yuan a day. Do you think they will earn twenty yuan less just to eat your meal?

Besides, do you think I don't know that the money for this meal was paid by the second uncle? What does it have to do with you? "

"Shazhu, you bastard. Who taught you to talk to your elders like that?"

Yi Zhonghai would have scruples about others, but he had no scruples about Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu was just his thug, his tool, so what right did he have to talk to him like that?

Of course, when he said these words, he directly ignored He Daqing. In his heart, Sha Zhu's elder was only one person, and that was him.

He Daqing snorted, "Yi Zhonghai, you are a worthless elder. It's not your turn to teach Sha Zhu a lesson. What's wrong with what he said?

Let me tell you, this discount is all for Lao Liu’s sake. I didn’t know about it in advance. If I had known, I would definitely not give you a discount.”

Qin Huairu glanced at Sha Zhu with resentment, then stood up to mediate: "Uncle He, uncle, please stop arguing. It will be bad if outsiders see it."

Yi Zhonghai would give her face, but He Daqing would not: "You and Yi Zhonghai are really in cahoots. When you are in trouble, he is the first to stand up. When he is in trouble, you are the first to stand up.

You see, you two are a family."

In this situation, the only ones who could stand up and act as peacemakers were Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui. They didn't dare to watch the fun and quickly stood up to persuade them.

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to lose face, and He Daqing didn't want to cause trouble in Wang Kun's restaurant, so they both stopped.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Yan Bugui started to find a topic: "Lao He, Yuliang comes out to work every morning. Does he work in the hotel?"

"Yes. That brat's basic skills are not bad, what he lacks is the opportunity to practice. Where else can compare to here?" He Daqing had pride on his face when he mentioned He Yuliang.

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes and began to count the beads on the abacus: "Old He, I always hear Sha Zhu say that the Tan family's food is delicious. I have been your neighbor for so many years, but I have never eaten Tan's food.

Is there any Tan's cuisine today?"

He Daqing smiled and shook his head: "If we really want Tan's cuisine, the little money Lao Liu earns is not enough to entertain guests. Tan's cuisine was called official cuisine in the past. Only the rich and powerful could afford it."

When he heard the words "high-ranking officials", Liu Haizhong blinked, but he also knew that he had only made a little money now, which was not worth mentioning in front of real rich people.

Not to mention official cuisine, he couldn't even bear to eat the Sichuan cuisine at Wang Kun Restaurant every day.

Everyone gathered around He Daqing, wanting to hear the origin of Tan's cuisine, and immediately ignored Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his nose was crooked, but he didn't dare to argue with He Daqing, so he could only sit aside and drink tea. (End of this chapter)
