"Ma Kaixuan has family in City A, and you've already accepted his food expenses. I also think you're a good cook, and you want to come here to eat with me. Why don't you accept my food expenses?"
Isn't this obvious discrimination? She paid for Ma Kaixuan's meals, but Zhang Yaoyao didn't pay for his own meals.
Zhang Yaoyao: “…”
Is this something that can be explained? Isn't it because there was an unspeakable entanglement between them before?
Just when Zhang Yaoyao was lost in self-confusion, hesitating whether to accept Lu Sinian's meal expenses, Lu Sinian immediately opened the window and took a quiet look at her in a place where no one outside could see. The other party immediately understood and echoed from the side.
"Zhang Yaoyao, just accept it. Lu Sinian is your landlord now, and he doesn't live far from you. I always come to your place for free meals, and he has nothing to eat. As a childhood friend, I can't bear to see him starve, so bring him here to eat. If he doesn't pay for the food, I will feel very unbalanced."
Zhang Yaoyao: "That makes sense!"
Ma Kaixuan felt relieved. Don't think that he couldn't understand the strong threat in Lu Sinian's eyes when he looked at him just now. If he didn't help him out, he would probably have to ask him for help next time, and this kid would definitely refuse him.
Seeing that Zhang Yaoyao's expression was a little relaxed, Lu Sinian, who was standing by, quickly added fuel to the fire.
"Yeah, I can't just go back to City A and rest and watch you two eat and drink delicious food upstairs every day. What if one day I can't resist and come up to eat for free? If you don't charge me for the meal, wouldn't that be a loss?"
He knew Zhang Yaoyao's weakness, which was her love for money!
Then he would just give her the money. He didn't need that little money anyway. What's more, the food Zhang Yaoyao cooked was more to his taste than anything else.
Things have come to this point. The more Zhang Yaoyao thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Lu Sinian had made a huge loss by eating at her place without paying some time ago. She immediately picked up the fifteen bills on the table without hesitation, waved her hand, and said heroically.
"Okay, since you two are so sincere, then come to my place for dinner from now on!"
Anyway, 1,500 yuan a month for living expenses is enough for her to eat and drink well for a while.
Of course, even if the three of them eat and drink to their heart's content every day, it wouldn't cost more than 1,500 yuan. The rest would be considered her hard work pay. Cooking is very tiring these days.
When Ma Kaixuan and Lu Sinian saw that Zhang Yaoyao accepted the money and agreed to let them have dinner here, they both breathed a sigh of relief. Then they heard Zhang Yaoyao's voice coming faintly.
"However, since you're eating at my place, I shouldn't be the only one doing all the work. For example, if I cook, you guys should wash the dishes, and if I wash the dishes, you should sweep and mop the floor."
She is not a fool. Isn't it tiring to do so much work by herself?
Ma Kaixuan's face immediately fell when he heard this, and he opened his mouth to utter a word.
"Can……"
Lu Sinian on the side quickly reached out to stop him from speaking and nodded in the direction of Zhang Yaoyao.
"No problem. Since we all eat from the same pot, the work should be shared. When Ma Kaixuan and I come to eat, you can do whatever you want."
In Lu Sinian's opinion, cooking and washing dishes are all household chores and should be distributed. You can't let Zhang Yao do it all alone, as she is not a nanny.
When Ma Kaixuan heard Lu Sinian's agreement and let Zhang Yaoyao control him when the two of them came to eat, all the words that were about to come out of his mouth were stuck in his throat. He originally wanted to say that he had already given them a thousand yuan a month for food expenses, but they still had to work, which was too unfair.
He doesn't have to pay for meals at home, and there are servants. He is just asking for trouble!
But when he thought about how he had rushed to pay for Zhang Yaoyao's meals, wasn't it just to show off his presence in front of Zhang Yaoyao and seek cooperation? All the unhappiness in his heart immediately disappeared.
Just like that, the three of them happily finished talking about the issue of having dinner together. Du Wen and Nian Fujiang, who were standing by, were already upset. They were originally unhappy because Ma Kaixuan and Lu Sinian had disturbed their dinner tonight, and now the other party had reached an agreement with Zhang Yaoyao to have dinner together in front of them.
But there was nothing they could do. They both had families and children to support, so they couldn't always go to Zhang Yaoyao's house for dinner, for fear of causing criticism, which would only make them feel even more unhappy.
For a man, if someone makes him unhappy, he will beat that person up.
Du Wen even brought the jar of rice wine to the table and said to Ma Kaixuan and Lu Sinian.
"Well, since you and Zhang Yaoyao have happily agreed to have a meal together, shouldn't we have a nice drink to celebrate? You'll all have delicious food to enjoy from now on."
Nian Fujiang on the side also echoed with a forced smile.
"Yes, since we've met and witnessed that you're going to have dinner together in the future, we must not return home until we're drunk tonight!"
As he spoke, Nian Fujiang had already taken out several large bowls from behind him and placed them on the table and said to Du Wen.
"Yes, the four of us are men, so we need to drink from big bowls to feel refreshed. As for Zhang Yaoyao, let her drink red wine from a small cup!"
Du Wen also picked up the jar of rice wine heroically and agreed.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go big! Experience the pleasure of drinking big bowls of wine and eating big mouthfuls of meat!"
As he spoke, Du Wen began to pour wine into four large bowls. He poured four full bowls of wine and handed them directly to Ma Kaixuan and Lu Sinian.
Zhang Yaoyao, sitting on the side, could feel the strong smell of gunpowder. If her guess was correct, Du Wen and Nian Fujiang wanted to knock Ma Kaixuan and Lu Sinian down. Otherwise, how could they drink from such a big bowl? After drinking such a big bowl of rice wine, he would have to lean against the wall if he didn't get drunk.
Sure enough, when rivals meet, there is no chance of peaceful coexistence. It is clear that these two groups are going to have a drinking contest.
What about Lu Sinian and Ma Kaixuan? They weren't fools. Even Zhang Yaoyao could see the provocation, so how could she not sense the strong tension? The arrow was on the string and had to be released. They couldn't afford to back down.
Ma Kaixuan and Lu Sinian looked at each other, saw the provocation in each other's eyes, and said in unison.
"Okay, it's better to meet by chance than to be invited. Since you are so enthusiastic, let's drink a lot!"
As they talked, the two of them offered each other a large bowl of wine without hesitation. Lu Sinian even stood up, smiled and handed the wine to Du Wen and Nian Fujiang, saying heroically.
"This is our first time eating together, and we'll be friends from now on. Ma Kaixuan and I will drink first to show our respect!"
After saying that, he picked up the big bowl, tilted his head back and drank the rice wine in the bowl up in one gulp.
The man's movements were too heroic. The wine remaining at the corner of his mouth slid across his sharp Adam's apple and slowly flowed into the depths of his wheat-colored skin, giving him a sense of being a hero.
