Courtyard: The Fatty's Counterattack

Transmigrated to a parallel world, he became Fatty, the apprentice of傻柱 (Shazhu). With elderly parents above him and three sisters worrying about marriage below him, Fatty hones his culinary skills...

Chapter 262 Where are you going?

However, Qilige's concept was ahead of its time, groundbreaking, and was created when countless catering professionals competed to see who could be more resourceful.

The fat man had witnessed Haidilao at its peak, where even pouring water for customers was not allowed!

The fat man had just stood up and reached for the kettle when, good heavens, four waiters, including those at their table, simultaneously dropped what they were doing and rushed over, shouting in unison, "No! No!"

His anxious appearance made unsuspecting people think that the fat man wasn't thirsty, but wanted to jump into the hot pot!

I've also witnessed how the female foot massage therapists treated him like royalty; "Hello sir, it's an honor for therapist number 18 to serve you..."

I also tried their group-buying deal downstairs, which cost 39.9 yuan for 3 jin of crayfish, plus 6 bottles of beer, and 2 cold dishes!

Cuihualou, are you going to argue with him?

Unlike the brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang, who were very excited, Yan Jiedi simply said "I have no money" and then fell silent.

Their family and Liu Haizhong made a fortune trading rebar together, but they didn't include Yan Jiedi.

Now that I have to give money as a wedding gift, I'm thinking of her?

Yan Jiedi grew angrier the more she thought about it, and like her older brother, she simply left.

This made the third uncle so angry that he started stammering...

Outside the courtyard gate, Yan Jiedi looked at his elder brother, Yan Jiecheng, who had been waiting for him there, with some surprise.

Yan Jiecheng scratched his nose: "Fourth brother, wanna chat for a bit?"

Yan Jiedi didn't say anything, but just stared at him intently.

Yan Jiecheng had already prepared his explanation: "I also invested 10% in the rebar business, and I can give you that 10%."

Yan Jiedi didn't believe that a free lunch would fall from the sky; there was also scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded potatoes with green peppers, rice, toothpicks, mouthwash...

She simply asked in return, "Brother, would you really be so kind?"

Yan Jiecheng sighed, "You've already called me 'Big Brother,' and I really feel it's meaningless. Look at Fatty and his three siblings, and then look at our family?"

Yan Jiedi remained silent for a long while before asking somewhat awkwardly, "So what do you want me to do for you?"

“Our dad and second uncle are just doing business by building connections. They don’t know where their next meal will come from. This rebar business won’t last long.”

You mean?

“Doing business requires a steady, long-term approach. I plan to take advantage of the money I've made now to expand the scale of Chunfeng Food Stall and open a restaurant. I've already chosen the location, but I'm short-handed. I don't trust outsiders. We are, after all, siblings, so you were the first person I thought of.”

Yan Jie stared at him blankly: "Why did you come to me?"

Yan Jiecheng replied without hesitation, "What else could it be? Your family is short of money. They don't include you in their rebar business, so we have the same goal."

Yan Jiedi thought for a moment and said, "But brother, I really don't have any money."

Yan Jiecheng waved his hand: "Wasn't I clear enough? Don't worry, I'm not asking you to invest money in me, I'm asking you to come and help me. I'll give you that 10%, consider it your salary. Go back and think about it carefully."

※※※※※※

The next day was an auspicious day. It was suitable for construction, coming-of-age ceremonies, and weddings.

This morning, the entire courtyard was bustling with noise, and the Jia family was no exception.

For the first time ever, Madam Jia got up very early, specially took out her most presentable clothes to wear, and then used some hair oil to comb her hair meticulously.

When Xiao Fang came out, Qin Huairu hadn't even gotten up yet.

When Jia Zhangshi arrived at Xiao Dang's door, she had just called out when Xiao Dang opened the door and let her in.

Madam Jia took out a handkerchief from her pocket, unfolded it layer by layer, revealing two pieces of jewelry.

She gave the necklace to Xiaodang, and then pointed to the bracelet and said to her, "This is the dowry that Grandma has saved up for you and Huaihua over the years. You two are daughters, and once you get married, you will become someone else's family. From now on, you will have to live according to other people's wishes, so you will always have something like this to protect yourself."

Xiao Dang stared blankly at the necklace in her hand; Jia Zhangshi turned her head and glanced at the other side, then said, "You can't count on your mother anymore. When I close my eyes in the future, none of you will be able to get any of those things in the house. But you and Huaihua are living better and better lives now, so you probably don't care about those things. Xiao Dang, promise Grandma that you won't fight for them in the future. I've been strong all my life, and I don't want to be laughed at by others when I'm done with it."

Xiao Dang choked up instantly: "Grandma..."

Now that everything is ready, let's all head out together. Little Dang even insisted on applying some blush to Jia Zhangshi's cheeks.

Sha Zhu was dressed in brand new clothes from head to toe today, and he looked much more energetic.

As for Ran Qiuye and He Sui, needless to say, whatever they wear is considered fashionable.

As soon as they stepped outside, Yi Zhonghai also came out. He looked to be in good spirits and even greeted Sha Zhu's family.

Sha Zhu glanced at his watch, then looked towards the backyard, and complained to everyone, "That Xu Damao, does he have any sense of propriety? Why isn't he up yet!"

Speak of the devil, and he appears; from afar, Xu Damao's voice could be heard: "Shazhu, talking bad about me behind my back again."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Damao's family and Liu Haizhong's family came out of the backyard together.

They were all "family members" invited by Huaihua today; the entire courtyard was invited, including Qin Huairu and Banggeng.

If Yan Bugui is from the detective team, then Qin Huairu is from the security team, just like the "110" in the game, with a huge vigilance range.

Sure enough, as soon as there was a commotion in the yard, she woke up and immediately peered out the window to see what kind of trouble they were up to.

At this moment, I saw Madam Jia, Xiao Dang, and so many people in the courtyard.

She couldn't sit still any longer, so she quickly put on her clothes, slipped on her shoes, and rushed out.

He walked a few steps to Jia Zhangshi and asked her, "Mom, where are you going?"

Jia Zhangshi hesitated, "Well, Xiao Dang said he'd take me out to play."

Qin Huairu looked at Xiao Dang, but Xiao Dang didn't even open her eyes to look at her, which made her furious.

But now is not the time to dwell on this; she knows there's definitely something going on here!

Qin Huairu asked her mother-in-law, "Did Xu Damao, Second Uncle, and so many others go with you?"

Since Liu Haizhong got money, he felt like he was all that mattered.

He stepped forward and said to Qin Huairu, "Alright, stop asking. They didn't even invite you, why are you asking so many questions? Xu Damao, let's go."

Xu Damao was furious. "You old bastard, who are you ordering around? You have to call me Director Xu!"

However, since it was Huaihua's big day, Xu Damao didn't bother arguing with him and said, "Let's go then, the car is already waiting for us at the door."
