Song Yalan hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Do you want me to develop a relationship with Chief Si? If we really do, won't you be angry?"
Although her brother kept telling her that Cheng Xiao Kui wasn't that kind of person, and that Cheng Xiao Kui had taken the initiative to divorce him.
But who would believe something like this if they didn't ask them directly? It always feels unreal!
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "Why should I be angry? My mother-in-law said that after the divorce, I'll be her daughter, so Si Muyang is my older brother now! I hope my good friend is happy!"
Song Yalan took Cheng Xiaokui's hand and said, "Thank you... but Chief Si and I don't have that kind of relationship right now..."
She had to tell Cheng Xiao Kui that her heart had been stirred by her brother's words these days, and she also wanted to try confessing to Si Muyang.
But Si Muyang's attention is entirely focused on Zhang Weidong's matter, and he has no interest in discussing personal matters.
She had no choice but to suppress her feelings again and keep them hidden for the time being.
Cheng Xiaokui asked, "Si Muyang, why hasn't he arrived yet?"
Song Yalan said, "He still has some things to take care of, so he'll be arriving a little later."
She couldn't help but turn back to look at the gate of the courtyard. The gate was really big, and you could see the street at a glance.
The courtyard was also filled with folding tables and chairs, and it was packed with people.
Some of the folding tables are different from Cheng Xiaokui's; it's obvious that the neighbors nearby didn't have seats and simply brought their own tables and chairs to use.
Before Cheng Xiao Kui even started singing, all sorts of grilled skewers and fried chicken racks were already on sale.
Her little bar, though not quite the same as a real bar, still serves drinks.
Xiao Kui really has to thank Jiang Bin for this. Jiang Bin helped her contact the brewery, so she could buy beer from the brewery on her own.
This way, the cost of purchasing beer is much lower than buying beer from a cooperative and then reselling it, which allows you to earn more money.
She has both bottled and draft beer.
It's the kind of beer served in a large barrel, where you can pour the beer directly from the tap on the barrel.
This kind of small bar is something that many ordinary people have never seen before.
Everyone who came was curious and wanted to walk around the whole courtyard to see what new and interesting things there were.
Song Jingchuan told his underlings that they could order whatever they wanted to eat tonight, it was on him!
Song Jingchuan's younger brother didn't stand on ceremony; he ordered potato chips, French fries, fried chicken frames, all kinds of kebabs, and beer.
Jiang Bin and Du Ziqiang also arrived with a few of their buddies.
Jiang Bin looked at Cheng Xiao Kui with curiosity. "Girl, I heard you're going to sing? What song are you going to sing? Is it good? I like listening to 'Liu Sanjie'! Or 'Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy' would be good too!"
Cheng Xiao Kui's lips twitched slightly. To be honest, this song was very popular in this era, but she didn't know how to sing it.
She said, "It's a song you've never heard before, I guarantee you'll like it!"
Cheng Xiaokui watched as people gradually arrived at the small bar. Almost all the people she had invited had arrived, except for Si Muyang.
To her surprise, even her mother came!
The news that Cheng Xiao Kui had opened a small bar here spread like wildfire throughout the thousands of alleys in the vicinity.
Even though we don't have social media or high technology these days, news still spreads just as quickly.
The most popular form of entertainment for aunties and grandmas after meals is gossiping and talking about the news.
Song Wenhui was surprised to learn that Cheng Xiaokui had bought a courtyard house and started a business.
She rode her bicycle over to check the situation.
When she arrived outside the courtyard, she was surprised to see people sitting there.
There are more customers here than at her store!
Moreover, she actually saw Song Yalan sitting with Cheng Xiao Kui!
She quickly locked her bicycle and went into the yard.
She looked at Song Yalan with delight and said, "Xiao Kui, why didn't you tell me that Miss Song was coming today?"
Cheng Xiao Kui quickly stood up and said, "Mom, what brings you here?"
Song Wenhui glanced at Cheng Xiaokui and said, "Why can't I come? You started your own business, why didn't you tell me? Your business is doing quite well, you have more people than mine!"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Mom, the people on my side are all sitting here without moving. That's why it looks like there are a lot of people. But the people on your side buy and leave, but actually, you probably have more customers buying things!"
Song Wenhui gave a casual reply and sat down in the chair that Cheng Xiaokui had just been sitting in, next to Song Yalan.
She said with a beaming smile, "Miss Song! It's rare for you to come all this way. Please have whatever you like to eat or drink. Xiao Kui will treat you. But you're not allowed to spend a penny! If you spend even a single cent, I'll be furious with you!"
Song Yalan said, "How can that be? It's not easy for Xiao Kui to do business!"
Song Wenhui said, "What's so difficult about this? It's just these kinds of jobs. To tell you the truth, selling these is very profitable!"
You work with Si Muyang, so it's only right that Xiao Kui takes care of you! After all, you've definitely helped Si Muyang a lot at work!
Wu Jianguo walked over and heard what Song Wenhui said. He sneered and said, "Song Yalan and Si Muyang have worked together for many years. What does she have to do with Cheng Xiaokui?"
"Your daughter and Si Muyang divorced a long time ago, didn't you know? Haha, still pretending to be all high and mighty!"
Wu Jianguo deliberately revealed this information; he wanted to expose Cheng Xiaokui and Si Muyang's divorce to the public!
Song Wenhui stared at Cheng Xiaokui in astonishment, "What? Is what he said true? You and Si Muyang are divorced."
Cheng Xiaokui pursed her lips slightly and said, "Yes, I'm divorced from him. Si Muyang and I have nothing to do with each other now."
Upon hearing this news, Song Wenhui was stunned for a moment, but then angrily said, "You and Si Muyang are divorced, so why did you buy a courtyard house for his family?! I heard that the courtyard house cost 4,000 yuan!"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Grandma Zhang sold that courtyard house for 4,000 yuan, but my mother-in-law earned the money herself, and I didn't give her any money."
And she's still short 2000 yuan. Once she's saved enough, she'll give the rest to Grandma Zhang!
Song Wenhui sneered and said, "You taught her how to make money! If it weren't for you, could her family have made so much money?!"
She reached out and took Song Yalan's hand, saying, "Miss Song, to be honest, my daughter is an ingrate. All the family's money has gone to outsiders!"
Song Yalan said, "Auntie, Xiao Kui is a very sensible and loyal person, and I admire her very much."
Wu Jianguo said, "You're still calling her 'Auntie'? They're both divorced, why don't you hurry up and make your relationship with Si Muyang public?!"
Song Wenhui stared at Song Yalan in astonishment, "You and Si Muyang are dating?!"
Song Yalan hurriedly said, "No! Auntie, don't listen to Wu Jianguo's nonsense!"
Wu Jianguo said, "How can I be making this up?! Who doesn't know your relationship with Si Muyang?"
"Cheng Xiao Kui, if you know what's good for you, stay away from Lao Si! You dare to ruin Si Muyang and Song Yalan's relationship? My fists won't let you get away with it!"
