Xiao Dang stammered, "I...I'll...I'll wait until next month when I get my salary..."
This time, Yu Li poked her with a finger: "Serves you right for showing off! You're driving me crazy!"
Xiao Dang let out an "Oh," and then buried her head again. Her pitiful expression made everyone laugh.
The fat man didn't really care about the ten-odd yuan meal cost, but that didn't mean he would easily let go of the joke.
The crackdown only started last August. How could someone with a criminal record like Bang Geng dare to do this?
He should have been taken away by the police by now. We'll talk to him properly when Qin Huairu comes to beg him later.
After 7:30, the kitchen became quiet.
Some people were cleaning, others were chatting, and the fat man also returned to the lounge and sat down.
There are no chairs in the kitchen; everyone, from the kitchen supervisor to the head chef, stands.
Just as I picked up my thermos, Liu Lan pushed the door open and came in.
The fat man patted the sofa cushion next to him, gesturing for him to sit down.
Liu Lan sat down, looking at him with suspicion, and said, "Am I getting old and my eyesight is failing me?"
The fat man looked at it carefully and said, "No, it's still so clear and stupid."
Liu Lan jumped up immediately, bent her elbows, gritted her teeth, and slammed them at the fat man.
She hit the fat man several times before saying, "I think I just saw Lou Xiao'e."
The fat man's heart was in turmoil, but his face remained calm like that of an old man, and even the hand holding the cup did not tremble at all.
What's there to be ashamed of? Liu Lan doesn't know about his relationship with Lou Xiao'e.
Then Liu Lan continued, "But I remember, didn't her whole family go to Hong Kong? We haven't heard from them for so many years, they shouldn't just suddenly reappear..."
How could it not be that bad? There have been far too many new ones popping up lately.
First there was Ran Qiuye, and now there's Lou Xiao'e, each with a child. This wave of missing persons returning has stunned Fatty.
The fat man said to Liu Lan without saying a word, "I'm going home after I have a drink of water. If Yu Li asks about it later, please tell her for me."
Liu Lan didn't suspect anything, and just waved her hand as if shooing away flies: "Hurry up, hurry up..."
"..."
The fat man rode his bicycle back to the courtyard house, and without even entering his own house, went straight to his second sister's house in the backyard.
When I knocked on the door and went in, I found the two of them watching TV.
I watched "Blood Clotting"; it was this TV series that propelled Momoe Yamaguchi to stardom.
How popular has Momoe Yamaguchi been these past two years? It's quite similar to Liu Huifang back in the 90s!
This TV series introduced the term "super idol" to ordinary people for the first time; girls all over the streets sported "Sachiko hairstyles" and wore "Sachiko shirts"; young men wore "Mitsuo shirts" and rushed to buy "Oshima Shigeru bags".
The term "Sachiko shirt" refers to the short top and school uniform worn by Momoe Yamaguchi in the TV series; while "Oshima Shigeru bag" refers to a rectangular handbag in brown or black with an artificial leather exterior and a paperboard lining.
The bag that Tsuyoshi used to cover his face when he left was the Shigeru Oshima bag.
Chen Yan was wiping away tears in front of the TV when she saw Fatty come in. She quickly wiped her face and asked him, "Little brother, what brings you here?"
The fat man sat down and said to the clueless Benleihu, "I'm going to have a private talk with my sister. You go find somewhere cool!"
Benleihu was furious. He grabbed a cigarette from the coffee table and shouted into the inner room, "Baby, come with me to your sister Qiqi's house to play."
After the father and daughter left, Chen Yan chuckled and patted the fat man on the shoulder: "What are you doing?"
The fat man rubbed his face and said, "Second sister, this is terrible! Only you can save me."
Seeing how serious he was making it, Chen Yan panicked. She stopped watching TV and hurriedly asked what had happened: "Oh dear, tell me quickly, I'm so worried!"
The fat man looked around guiltily and whispered to him, "Um, you might have gained a nephew."
Chen Yan exclaimed in surprise, "What?!"
The fat man quickly gestured for her to lower her voice: "Well, um, Lou Xiao'e came back from Hong Kong, and she brought me back a son..."
"..."
For several minutes, no one in the room spoke.
After a long while, Chen Yan asked, "Where is he? Let me see quickly, is he really your child?"
The fat man weakly replied, "I've already seen it. His eyebrows are like yours, his eyes are like my third sister's, and the rest of his features are like mine. He's just as handsome."
"I'll make you handsome! I'll beat you to death!"
Chen Yan suddenly erupted, catching the fat man off guard.
He dodged while begging for mercy; Chen Yan doted on him the most, how could she bear to really hit him like Liu Lan did...
However, it was only about the same force as when you brush off dust; you hit him a few times, neither too hard nor too lightly.
Chen Yan angrily pressed, "When did you two... do that...?"
The fat man said guiltily, "Well, I helped her save her parents, and that night she did that to thank me."
This time, Chen Yan was really angry. She pinched his flesh hard, and her voice became fierce: "Don't you know you have a wife?!"
The fat man said with a long face, "I was young and hot-tempered back then."
Chen Yan made him so angry that he didn't know what to do.
My little brother is great in every way, except he's a womanizer; he's definitely having an affair with that Liu Lan!
Chen Yan initially suspected Shen Xuemei, but after observing them for a while, she found that they were actually innocent; on the contrary, Fatty and Liu Lan were exchanging glances and their relationship was ambiguous.
Now that Lou Xiao'e has been added to the mix, I wonder if Yu Li will kill the fat man if she finds out!
But since everything was already done and the son was already born, there was no point in Chen Yan scolding him anymore.
Besides, that's his son...
Fatty is the only son in the Chen family, and the lack of a grandson has become a major worry for Chen Gangqiang and Zhou Haiqin.
That's good, but how can they recognize each other now?
Chen Yan was extremely worried: "What do you want me to do?"
The fat man was momentarily at a loss for what to do: "What I mean is, let you meet them first. Then, Second Sister, aren't you and Yu Li together...?"
"So you're planning to betray your sister and have me tell Yu Li, right? Do you believe we'll turn against each other on the spot!"
The fat man slumped back on the sofa, utterly exhausted: "This is too much for me..."
"Difficult my foot!"
Enraged, Chen Yan raised her hand and slapped him several times before finally grabbing his ear and yelling, "This is all because of your womanizing! You better figure out a way to resolve this!"

Banggeng sat behind the iron bars, leaning against the wall in a daze.
This is a small, back-to-the-door area on the first floor of the police station. You have to open the outer door first to get here.
Inside was a room that was as small as it could possibly be.
There was only a bed, and nothing else.
