You were awesome today!

"Huh? What's wrong with me?" Li Chu, who was feeding the dog, looked up in confusion.

"What else? We've lived together for over twenty years, and I've never realized that your alcohol tolerance is so ridiculously high."

Li Chu then realized what his wife meant.

At the lunch banquet today, several of Shen Jun's comrades came over to challenge him to a drinking contest.

Well, they drank from noon until after 5 p.m. Not counting the people Li Chu helped him drink on his side, there were at least ten people, including Shen Jun, who were passed out, and at least twenty who were vomiting.

Li Chu's drinking capacity shocked everyone.

At first, they came to him with bottles of liquor, but later the roles were completely reversed.

Showing off a whole bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor) like that is pretty cool.

If it weren't for the old men who stopped Li Chu at the last minute, none of Shen Jun's comrades would have been able to walk out of the restaurant on their own.

The key point is that this guy was still clear-headed in the end and prescribed hangover cures for those who were drunk.

Are you really alright?

"Do I look like I'm in trouble?" Li Chu stood up and spread his hands.

Ding Qiunan shook her head: "It doesn't seem like it."

"That's right, I'm really fine."

Actually, he cheated. He only drank the first bottle of wine properly, and then he threw the rest into the warehouse, which is why he was fine.

Based on his actual alcohol tolerance, he would only need a maximum of three bottles if he was in a good mood.

But he was a little annoyed by Shen Jun's smug look today. He was thinking about how to make him feel down for a while, but unexpectedly, Shen Jun brought his comrades to his doorstep.

He couldn't be polite then. For Li Chu, it meant, "If you're willing to die, I'm willing to bury you."

And that's how the following scene unfolded.

"Are Yueyue and the baby asleep?"

"Yes, I'm asleep." Ding Qiunan smiled, pursing her lips.

"Yueyue was already upset because she couldn't attend the wedding, and then Wenxuan kept talking about it when he came back, which finally made her angry."

Last night, Wang Yueyue and her child stayed at her sister's house next door, worried that the noise here would disturb their rest.

Wenxuan was a bit of a simpleton. He returned from the banquet early without noticing that his wife was upset and kept nagging. As a result, he got a few beatings and was kicked out of the house.

They were only allowed to enter the house after Li Chu and Ding Qiunan returned.

"Sigh~ My daughter is married and I have a grandson now, but I suddenly feel like there's no future in this world." He tossed the last steamed bun to the third-year student and clapped his hands as he spoke.

"What do you mean you've lost hope? You promised to take me to see the beautiful landscapes of our motherland, but you've gone out with the leader so many times, while I've never even left Beijing."

Li Chu's eyes lit up immediately.

“You’re right. Starting next summer, we’ll go to a different place every year.”

"Really? You can get out?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely keep my word this time."

"Then I'll be waiting!"

Ding Qiunan took out a red envelope from her coat pocket.

"This is what Qin Huairu gave me this morning. It's ten yuan. She said it was a gift from her and Xiaodang. She just stuffed it into my pocket and ran away. You said we shouldn't accept red envelopes. I don't know what to do with this."

Li Chu glanced at the red envelope, thought for a moment, and said, "Didn't she give one to Wenxuan when he got married last year?"

"Yes, it's been like this both times. They just come over, hand it to me, and leave."

"Then accept it, consider it her way of returning the favor. You helped her family so much back then."

"Sigh~" Ding Qiunan sighed as she looked at the red envelope in her hand.

"Her family was doing just fine. They lived in an apartment building, and her two daughters earned a good amount of money each month. Why did she have to go and open a restaurant? Now look what's happened. One daughter won't come home, but the other has gone back to help her. But the consequences are really hard to predict. She doesn't even consider whether she's cut out for this kind of thing."

"He Yuzhu is there to back her up, why are you worrying about this?"

“What can he use to cover his losses? He Yuzhu is now penniless except for the two rooms he lives in.”

Ding Qiunan paused here, thought for a moment, and then shook her head and said, "No, he should still owe money."

Who does he owe money to?

"It's Yi Ping'an's money. Otherwise, who do you think he gave Qin Huairu money from at the beginning? Only the second time was the money he took from home. And the rest of the money was all taken by Chunmei when she left."

That's ruthless!

These days, it's rare to see a woman as decisive, efficient, and ruthless as her.

"Who cares? They can cook, so they won't starve no matter where they go."

As they were talking, Dazhuang walked over with the brothers Wang Jun and Wang Bing.

Li Chu was stunned for a moment when he saw the two of them, then he remembered that he had covered the doorbell because of the child, so the sound was very low now.

"Why did you two come together? Come on, have a seat."

As he spoke, he gently kicked the dog lying next to him. With one person missing from the house, the dogs were listless; they hadn't even given a warning when they heard someone coming.

“My dad asked us to come and see you, saying you’re not in a good mood today.”

"Oh dear, Uncle Wang, what's wrong with me?"

"Hehe, if you were really that good, you could have knocked out all of Shen Jun and his comrades, scaring the others so much that they didn't dare to drink anymore."

Wang Bing looked at Li Chu as if he were a rare animal, constantly scrutinizing him from the moment he saw him.

"What's wrong with you, Wang Lao Er? How can you judge people like that?"

"No, where did you drink all that alcohol? You can really drink! Your performance today really scared us, even my parents. You won't refuse anyone."

"Are Uncle and Aunt resting now?"

"Yes, they're all resting at home. The old man originally wanted to come and see for himself, but my mom persuaded him, so he let the two of us come over."

"Hey Li Chu, even if my daughter married into your family, I wouldn't be as good as you, would I?"

"You have the nerve to say that? Yueyue grew up in my family since she was little, okay? I don't even want to talk about you."

Well, one sentence was enough to leave Wang Jun speechless.

"Let's not talk about that," Li Chu waved his hand, then asked, "Yueyue will be out of confinement in ten days. Do you plan to let her go back to your house for a few days or go back to Uncle's place?"

"I've moved back to Grandpa's place."

When did you move back?

"Just before the holiday, my parents are getting old, so it would be more convenient for us to stay at home."

"Here you are, Junzi and Xiaobing, have some water."

"Oh, thank you, sister-in-law."

"Before I came here, the old man asked me to ask you when you plan to go back to work normally?" Wang Jun asked after taking a sip of water.

"I've been at work the whole time, what's wrong with me?"
