Chapter 334: Chapter 334: Minor Incident at the Restaurant

Sometimes when she looked at Sister Zhou, she felt as if she was seeing her friend again.

Mother Lin was somewhat lost in thought, her mind drifting back to her own childhood.

"Mom, don’t you really find anything odd about Aunt Zhou?" Sun Cui joined the conversation from the side.

She always felt that Aunt Zhou looked at them with strange eyes, which made her feel creepy.

"We’re all pitiful people." Mother Lin lowered her gaze, her mind was clear as a mirror.

She wasn’t a fool. She surely wouldn’t have overlooked anything.

But there was an unbearable pain in her heart, which made her tolerate Aunt Zhou’s actions.

After eating lunch at the carpentry shop, Nanzhi rubbed her sore waist a bit.

"Dad, when did Aunt Zhou start bringing you food?"

The movement of Father Lin eating paused, his eyes filled with sorrow. He found it difficult to swallow the food and equally so to spit it out.

His daughter was always asking such questions.

"It was just these past few days, but we have not eaten it anyway."

Nanzhi had some admiration for Aunt Zhou. It had only been over half a month since she had bought her, and she had already become bold to this extent.

Indeed, one cannot judge a book by its cover. Back when she bought Aunt Zhou, she thought she looked honest and was of the right age, moreover, she had lived a hard life before, so buying her back meant she could be at ease and work at home.

"Dad, why do you think she set her sights on you?" Lin Ercheng was the only one among the three men who knew only the superficial aspects of the matter.

"What, you think your dad is not good enough?" Father Lin glared at his second son, somewhat displeased.

Although he was dissatisfied with his son’s words, Father Lin also found it a bit strange.

Aunt Zhou was thirty-five years old and he was almost old enough to be her father. Why would she have her mind set on him?

After staying in the carpentry shop for a while, Nanzhi and Shen Miamiao then proceeded to the San Wei Residence.

The restaurant was booming, and all kinds of wines were selling very well. When the regulars saw Nanzhi and Shen Miamiao enter, they greeted them with laughter, "Lin and Shen, your wine is really good!"

Both Nanzi and Shen Miaomiao smiled and nodded, greeted back, then headed towards the women’s building.

"Master Lin."

"What else can I do for you, Brother Liu?" Nanzhi turned her head, curious.

This Liu Peng was a regular at the restaurant, usually just exchanging smiles and greetings, occasionally when he invited friends over, they would send over some dishes and appetizers, the relationship was rather good.

"I just wanted to ask, when will the women’s building open?" Liu Peng had a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.

The two friends who had come with him looked at him with astonishment when he asked this question.

"I’m asking for my wife. She’s heard about your women’s building for a long time, but couldn’t come over because of the things at home. Her cousins are coming to Yan City in a few days, and she thinks it would be a good idea to bring them all over."

Feeling the gaze of his friends, Liu Peng’s face was a bit hot, so he explained further.

"It will take about another half a month, we hope to make the women’s building even better. Once we have a grand opening, we will definitely send a formal invitation to your wife."

Nanzhi was somewhat moved in her heart, at least they had people who cared about their women’s building.

"Thank you so much, proprietors!" Liu Peng was overjoyed, hurriedly standing up in appreciation.

"Don’t mention it, Brother Liu." Shen Miamiao returned the gesture, then asked Liuda to send over a dish of pastry, before she and Nanzhi went upstairs to the third floor.

In the main hall, Liu Peng was smiling, but someone among his companions poured cold water, "Liu Peng, you’re not serious, are you? They are just being polite."

Liu Peng’s face was somewhat awkward, and his movements came to a halt.

Seeing the atmosphere become awkward, another person hurriedly stepped in, "Don’t overthink it. Let’s just eat and enjoy ourselves as we rarely get together."

With someone smoothing things over, Liu Peng barely squeezed out a smile.

But the man named Wang did not stop talking, his face was mocking as he spoke, " I heard Liu’s wife is somewhat ugly, and I have never seen you bring her out. So seeing you act like this, she must be very beautiful, right?"

Half of Liu Peng’s smile froze on his face, and the man who just played peacemaker was also wide-eyed.

No one expected him to say such things.

"Brother Wang, if you’re drunk, take a break and eat some more food," One of them said.

Wang Hao ignored the advice, seeing Liu Peng ignoring him, he blurted out the words in his heart after getting drunk.

"I think the two proprietors of San Wei Residence are much more attractive. Brother Liu, you seem to be quite acquainted with them, is there something we don’t know about?"

Liu Peng’s hand clenched under the table as he looked at Wang Hao, suppressing his urge to attack him.

Just as Wang Hao was about to speak again, Liuda came over with a dish of newly made pastries.

The three of them were stunned. They were all men who came to drink, who would order sweet pastries?

"What’s the matter with you? This is not what we ordered. Are you trying to swindle us?" Wang Hao was drunk, his face was already turning red, and his voice was quite loud, attracting the attention of other guests.

"What is this gentleman talking about?" Liuda had seen many people who forgot their manners after a couple of drinks. He just continued to say, "After hearing Master Liu mention his wife’s interest in our women’s building, the proprietors asked us to send over this pastry. Gentlemen, after drinking, eating some pastry would be good for sobering up. This is a new product and it’s not sweet."

Some of the people around who heard Liuda’s words couldn’t help but laugh, Wang Hao was a bit embarrassed, but Liu Peng finally unclenched his fist.

He worked in a pawnshop, Wang Hao was notoriously stubborn but he was the nephew of the boss. Even though he had slandered himself and his wife, he couldn’t really hit him.

"Please thank the proprietors for me," Liu Peng said gratefully.

"Hey, Master Liu, stop by before you go. The proprietors have instructed us to pack some for you to take home for your wife to try." Liuda laughed and responded.

"Good, good." Liu Peng was somewhat overwhelmed, quickly nodded.

After all this fuss, Wang Hao sobered up a bit. Thinking about what he just said and the laughter around him, he was somewhat regretful.

His uncle had told him to befriend Liu Peng, so he invited the three of them to come out for a drink. How could he say those things after only two drinks?

"Brother Wang, you got drunk, try this pastry." Liu Peng handed over a piece with a smile on his face.

Wang Hao was stunned for a moment, realizing that he was given a lifeline, then accepted, "My apologies, it was my mistake, I drank too much."

The downstairs was quiet again, while the two girls on the third floor began biting their fingers again.
