Jiang Xueying's gaze lingered on Lin Chuan, a hint of joy stirring within her.
"Lin Chuan?"
Lin Chuan snapped out of his daze. "What does your mood have to do with me?"
Jiang Xueying was about to say something more when Lin Chuan shut her down with a single sentence.
"Lin Chuan, we are at least classmates."
Lin Chuan's face was full of impatience. "If you're here for noodles, I'm happy to oblige. But if it's anything else, I don't have time to entertain you."
After saying that, he turned and went back to the kitchen.
As Jiang Xueying stood there, she felt countless eyes were on her.
She clenched her fists and looked around, only to find everyone eating their noodles and no one paying any attention to her.
Jiang Xueying found an empty seat and sat down.
Lin Ping noticed that Lin Chuan's expression was not good, but since the customer had already sat down, he definitely had to serve him.
"Hello, what would you like to eat?"
Jiang Xueying said, "A bowl of plain noodles."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Lin Chuan was surprised that Jiang Xueying actually sat down.
A bowl of vegetarian noodles was served. "Here's your vegetarian noodles, please enjoy."
Jiang Xueying took a sip of the noodle soup; it still tasted the same. "Have Lin Chuan come over. I have something to say to him. If he doesn't come, I'll cause trouble in his shop."
Lin Ping had never seen a woman like this before.
She's clearly not bad looking, and she dresses quite well too.
But he couldn't let this woman cause trouble in the store; they still needed to do business.
Lin Ping carried the empty bowl into the basin. "Da Chuan, your classmate is looking for you."
Lin Chuan remained unmoved.
Lin Ping said helplessly, "Your classmate said that if you don't go, she'll cause trouble in the store."
Lin Chuan frowned, handed the chopsticks in his hand to Lin Ping, and strode out.
When Jiang Xueying saw Lin Chuan come out, she raised her eyebrows triumphantly, "I thought you wouldn't come out. Sit down, old classmate."
Lin Chuan didn't sit down, but lowered his voice and said, "Jiang Xueying, if you cause trouble in my shop, I'll go to the police station to report you. Your father has been taken away, and I think you want to be taken away too, and lose your job while you're at it."
Jiang Xueying's chopsticks froze in her hand; she hadn't expected Lin Chuan to be so forceful.
She bit her lower lip, and after a moment, said, "Lin Chuan, you really don't show any mercy at all."
"We have no relationship other than knowing each other. What favors do we have?" Lin Chuan said and turned to leave.
Jiang Xueying retorted angrily, "Lin Chuan, are you so afraid of your wife that you don't even dare to talk to a woman?"
Lin Chuan had no idea what this woman was thinking, but, "Yes, I only love my wife."
Jiang Xueying couldn't finish her noodles, so she left the money and left.
After wiping the table, Lin Wei returned to the kitchen. "Da Chuan, could this woman be interested in you?"
Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow. "She might have something wrong with her head."
Jiang Mingzhong was taken away by the labor union for investigation, and what they found was shocking.
Within half a month, the truth about Jiang Mingzhong's case was revealed, and it was very clear how much he had embezzled and how much he had taken as bribes over the years.
Even if Jiang Mingzhong wanted to argue, it would be useless in the face of evidence and witnesses.
The union handed the evidence directly to the Public Security Bureau. Jiang Mingzhong knew he was finished. He had been secretly doing this for so many years, and now he was going to be sentenced.
Lin Chuan was very satisfied with the result.
Healthy competition is good, but if someone tries to sabotage him secretly, he'll have to strike first.
Inside the Da Liang Noodle Shop, Xiao Long was terrified after learning that Jiang Mingzhong had been arrested.
Then he discovered that Feng Liang had hired another handyman.
Xiao Long had a bad feeling.
After receiving his salary for the month, Feng Liang said to Xiao Long, "Xiao Long, you've been working in my shop for quite a while now. As you can see, my shop isn't that busy. With Qian Hongyu helping out, we don't need so many people. Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come anymore."
Xiao Long clutched his wages in his hand. "Brother Liang, I arrived earlier than Hong Yu. Why are you kicking me out?"
Feng Liang tidied up the things on the table. "Xiao Long, don't be too shrewd in your dealings with people. What you've done is known only to heaven, earth, you, and me. For the sake of our past relationship, I won't spell it out for you, and you don't need to ask any more questions."
Feng Liang had already said so much, what didn't Xiao Long know?
Indeed, he couldn't ask any more questions.
But he harbored resentment in his heart.
He didn't do anything special; he just sold a packet of seasoning to Jiang Mingzhong and only received thirty yuan.
Feng Liang really doesn't show any mercy at all!
In the blink of an eye, Chunmai Noodle Shop has been open for a month.
The shop's business has always been good. After the state-run restaurants stopped serving braised meat, Lin Chuan and his team sold even more braised meat.
The villagers of Yuquan Village saw that Old Master Lin had an endless supply of meat, lard, and pork cracklings every day.
Zhou Xiuying and Lin Fugui, who stayed at Lin Youfu's place, ate those kinds of things all day long.
They both saw it; it wasn't that there wasn't anything good there.
But Wu Chunhua hid them all, so they couldn't get a single bite.
They used to be raised at their eldest son's house, full of energy and with rosy complexions. Now, they're so thin they're unrecognizable, and they suffer from stomach aches all the time.
Wu Chunhua and the others had all gone out. Zhou Xiuying sighed, "Dad, the eldest son's family eats meat every day. How are we going to manage?"
Lin Fugui had been thinking about it for days. "How about we go and beg the boss and Yumei to see if they're still angry and will take us back?"
Zhou Xiuying got out of bed. "While Youfu and the others aren't home, let's go ask them. I heard that Dachuan came back this morning, and he brought a lot of meat and stuff."
Lin Fugui helped Zhou Xiuying, and the two of them walked towards Old Master Lin's house.
The donkey cart was parked in the yard, the donkey was grazing, and Yuanbao kept circling around the donkey.
Yuanbao put a blade of grass in his mouth, the donkey brayed, and Yuanbao spat the grass back.
Suddenly hearing footsteps outside the door, Yuanbao's ears perked up, and he darted to the door.
Upon seeing the two people approaching, Yuanbao immediately called out.
Yuanbao doesn't usually call itself that, but as soon as it does, Lin Chuan and Lin Qingyou know which family has arrived.
Lin Qingyou and Lin Chuan came out of the house, and sure enough, Zhou Xiuying and Lin Fugui were standing at the door.
Zhou Xiuying was terrified of dogs. "Boss, Da Chuan, quick, get this dog away!"
Lin Chuan beckoned to Yuan Bao, and Yuan Bao obediently ran to his side.
Lin Qingyou looked at his parents, who he used to only know for abusing them, and they seemed to have aged a lot in recent times. He felt a mix of emotions.
Lin Fugui opened his mouth, "Eldest brother, I... your mother and I are really struggling to cope with being with the second brother. Could you and Yumei bring us back?"
"Don't worry, we won't ask you for money again, and we won't interfere in your affairs. Just give your mother and me a meal."
Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow at the two of them. They'd only been with Wu Chunhua for a short time and they couldn't take it anymore? Now they're finally thinking about being obsequious. Where were they before?
