The venue for the dinner was a barbecue restaurant that Chang Meiying really liked.
Zhou Hongyu gave the choice to Chang Shuying, and Chang Meiying threw a tantrum, begging her sister to agree to her suggestion. Chang Shuying smiled and agreed.
Zhou Hongyu's fists were hard; she wanted to hit the child!
Turning her head, Chang Meiying hugged her leg and acted coquettishly, which gradually calmed Zhou Hongyu's desire to hit the child.
At the barbecue restaurant, Chen Lijuan arrived early to coordinate with the owner. Before everyone arrived, she had already arranged enough seats for 22 people.
Of course, she must be paid for her work.
Twenty-two people...
Twenty-three people!
The barbecue restaurant owner came over: "You initially said there were twenty-two people, but there's one extra. You can't lie to us. Even though you're big customers and can get a discount, but..."
Chen Lijuan frowned and gestured to the barbecue restaurant owner not to speak!
She is efficient and accurate in her work, and she never slacks off when counting people to avoid wasting her time.
Who's causing trouble for her!
Chen Lijuan started searching one by one...
Zhou Hongyu sat down and was clearly taken aback when she saw her second son, Chang Rihui, appear at the barbecue restaurant.
She waved to Chang Shuying: "Why is your third brother here?"
Chang Shuying smiled and nodded: "I sent him!"
Today's meal was just to make her daughter happy, so Zhou Hongyu didn't say much. She just clicked her tongue and said, "Did you tell Lijuan not to interfere with her work?"
"I already said I won't interfere with Sister Lijuan's work!"
"That's good."
Over here, Chen Lijuan counted the number of people again, and finally, with a dark face, knocked on the table next to Zhou Bing.
"Come here for a second, I need to tell you something!"
You dare cause me trouble? You're asking for it!
Zhou Bing stopped talking to Wang Fengling, realizing he was in the wrong, and forced himself to get up.
When Wang Fengling heard the sudden silence around her, she quickly looked up and saw Zhou Bing preparing to leave with a woman she didn't recognize.
Wang Fengling called out anxiously, "Zhou Bing, where are you going? Don't leave me here alone!"
Chen Lijuan crossed her arms and laughed disdainfully. "You've come out to eat with us, how can you say that? Do you think you're some innocent little rabbit?"
Zhou Bing frowned: "Feng Ling, everyone here is one of us, don't worry, I'll be right back! And Xiao Liu is here too!"
“Xiao Liu, she…” Wang Fengling looked embarrassed.
Zhou Xiaoliu had already been playing wildly with Chang Meiying and the other kids.
Hongyu was so angry this week that she wanted to hit the child!
Why bother with barbecue? He just plays with other kids all the time and doesn't bring any food. It's so annoying!
Chen Lijuan pointed at the barbecue restaurant owner who was still waiting to pay the difference: "If you keep dawdling, you'll have to pay for it yourself. I'm not going to ask the owner to reimburse you!"
Upon hearing Qian Zhoubing's name, he quickly followed Chen Lijuan to the side to explain.
"The extra person is my sister-in-law's younger sister, so she's considered a family member. Could you please make an exception and help me get her application submitted?"
Zhou Bing was in a real bind. He had only planned to bring one person from among his many brothers and sisters, and Zhou Xiaoliu was lucky enough to be chosen.
Unfortunately, Wang Fengling bumped into them just as they were leaving, and then insisted on coming along. Zhou Bing was worried that Wang Fengling would try to force him to agree and cause a scene in front of his parents, so he brought her along without really understanding what was going on.
Chen Lijuan shook her head decisively: "Given that you've suddenly caused me trouble, I don't want to help you!"
Honestly, is my sister Lijuan working for free?
Even when the boss makes me run errands, I have to promise him a reward!
Zhou Bing argued unreasonably: "Chen Lijuan, you can't be so unreasonable. You brought your parents-in-law along, so I'll just bring one more person. Don't cause me any trouble!"
Chen Lijuan said dismissively, "So what if I brought my whole family? This is the compensation the boss promised! You can try to negotiate too! Bring your brothers and sisters along!"
Zhou Bing reluctantly pulled two yuan from his pocket: "Take it!"
The Chen family are all greedy for money!
Chen Lijuan, however, asked him for five yuan: "Given your extremely unfriendly attitude just now, I need five yuan as compensation for your emotional distress!"
Zhou Bing gritted his teeth and gave it to him.
Chen Lijuan then cheerfully explained the situation to the barbecue restaurant owner and made up for the extra person's cost.
Zhou Bing turned back, but Wang Fengling was no longer in her original position.
Wang Fengling sidled up to Wen Zhixin and Wang Qiang, choosing one of the two most handsome men there.
She wanted to sit next to Chang Rihui, but no one paid any attention to her.
Zhou Bing looked helpless. When Wang Fengling insisted on coming along, she said she was craving barbecue, but now he didn't know which kind of meat she was craving!
Zhou Bing decided to let the money go to avoid further trouble and stopped caring about Wang Fengling. He was determined to get his five yuan back!
Zhou Bing kept eating one plate of grilled meat after another.
Opposite him, Chen Lijuan was equally impressive, devouring food with lightning speed.
Mr. and Mrs. Peng looked at this one and that one, and they all thought in unison that the two of them seemed like a perfect match!
That can't be!
Lijuan is a dutiful daughter-in-law who doesn't even want to take her husband out, but only wants to bring her parents-in-law out!
Mr. and Mrs. Peng unanimously decided that they must treat Lijuan even better from now on! They must win over their daughter-in-law's heart!
Old Man Chang sat next to his grandson, his eyes crinkling with laughter, beaming with joy as if he had taken a magic pill.
Every now and then, he would reach out and pull Chang Rihui aside to ask him questions.
Chang Rihui had to stop eating after only a few bites to answer him.
Granny Zhou especially favored her grandson Chang Rihui. Seeing this, she was furious and wanted to give Old Man Chang a good beating to vent her anger.
If there's something important to announce, you can't wait until the child is full!
Granny Chang suddenly felt a chill beside her. She pressed down on Old Man Chang's outstretched hand again: "Stop talking, eat your roast meat!"
Old Man Chang was immediately displeased and wanted to throw a tantrum, but when he turned around, he met Granny Zhou's murderous gaze.
"I want to eat barbecue, barbecue is delicious!"
The gathering of over twenty people was truly lively and brought great popularity to the barbecue restaurant, with passersby being drawn in by the sight.
The barbecue restaurant owner quickly called out to the customers who had come in out of curiosity.
In the private room on the second floor, the Ke family and their friends were getting impatient with the sudden noise.
