Zhao Guozhong was genuinely furious, and several waiters were so angry they wanted to wield spatulas.
Uncle Li was still saying, "Brother-in-law, I'm very sentimental. If you share half of the profits with me and my elder brother, it'll be considered as profit from the old lady's investment."
As more and more people gather to watch the spectacle, it has a negative impact.
Zhao Xiaoyue pulled Zhao Guozhong's arm and said, "Dad, let's take them to the backyard first."
Aunt Mao also said, "Xiaoyue's dad, Auntie, let's go to the backyard to talk. We still need to do business in the future. If we keep making a fuss, we'll just become a laughing stock."
Aunt Zhan told the waiter to give her half a day off, and that she would be back to work as usual the next day.
Uncle Li and Li Jiaqing exchanged a glance. He hadn't even used his tantrum yet, so what? He'd already given in?
They're lucky they knew what was good for them, otherwise, hmph...
Then Zhao Xiaoyue and Zhao Guozhong helped the old lady, and Aunt Mao and the others asked Zhao Xiaoyue to go out and call for help.
Li Erjiu and his companion followed them to the backyard, still acting arrogantly.
Zhao Xiaoyue gave the old lady a wink, and the old lady immediately understood, groaning that her chest hurt. Zhao Guozhong's expression immediately changed, and he stepped forward to help the old lady up.
Zhao Guozhong: "What's wrong with Mom? Shall I take you to the hospital?"
Old lady: "Go quickly and get me some nitroglycerin pills from Dr. Li up ahead!"
Zhao Guozhong: "Mom, let's go to the hospital first."
The old lady glared angrily, "Why go to the hospital? Just go now. Don't worry, these two can't do anything to me."
Zhao Guozhong was still worried.
Li Jiaqing frowned. "Uncle, you should go buy the medicine quickly. We're not bandits, it's not that serious."
Zhao Guozhong left quickly, urged on by the old lady.
Li Jiaqing was more than happy for the old lady to fall ill, so he would have a reason to take care of her and thus be able to legitimately interfere in the restaurant and guesthouse business.
It would be even better if I fell seriously ill and never recovered, then I'd have a reason to file a lawsuit, instead of hoping someone would bring me a pillow when I'm sleepy.
Zhao Xiaoyue frowned at his smug expression.
Almost the instant Zhao Guozhong left, Zhao Xiaoyue's aura turned cold, while Zhao Zhe remained expressionless standing beside the old lady.
The old lady was also uncertain. When she received that look, she believed her granddaughter, but after all, she was facing an adult man who knew to some extent that her two families were unscrupulous people, so she was a little unsure now.
Zhao Xiaoyue punctured both boils with a single sentence.
“Li Jiaqing, take Li Yaozu back to Jiaozigou. Grandma will be staying at my house. From now on, we have nothing to do with you. If you want to die, don’t come near us, or I’ll make sure neither of you sees the sun tomorrow.”
Li Erjiu and his companion were stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage.
Uncle Li: "What did you just say, you little brat? Do you want me to crush you to death?"
Li Jiaqing: "Alright, come on, let me see how you're going to make sure we don't see the sun tomorrow, hehe!"
Uncle Li: "That's my mom! How dare you, a little brat, try to make decisions for an adult? Get out of here!"
The old woman was furious. "Shut up and get out!"
"Mom, how could you be so confused? My sister is already married. No matter how bad we are, we are still your own sons. How can you side with outsiders? If I can't be relied on, there's still your older brother. You have to come back with me and Jiaqing today."
After observing for several days, Uncle Li realized that his brother-in-law's family cared deeply for the old lady and would never allow them to take her back. Besides, their goal wasn't just a dead old lady.
That's why they staged such a heartfelt performance here.
We agreed on this before we came: if we didn't give them the money, we'd just stay at the restaurant and not leave; we wouldn't even let them leave if it was less than 5,000.
He then reached for the old lady's sleeve.
Zhao Xiaoyue's gaze turned cold; they were being ungrateful.
"What rubbish."
The moment Uncle Li's hand touched the old lady's sleeve, Zhao Xiaoyue pressed down on the numbness in Uncle Li's wrist, and then used her other hand to dislocate the bone.
The cracking sound was crisp.
Immediately following was Uncle Li's deathly pale face and his wailing.
Li Jiaqing was initially just watching and fanning the flames. When he saw this, he was about to kick Zhao Xiaoyue, but Zhao Xiaoyue delivered a clean and decisive sweeping leg kick, causing Li Jiaqing to split and tear his groin.
Immediately, Li Jiaqing clutched his groin and his face contorted in pain.
Zhao Xiaoyue curled her lip in disdain, "You ungrateful bastard!"
The old lady had been holding her breath, but now she felt relieved.
Zhao Zhe was truly amazed; he still has a long way to go to catch up.
Zhao Xiaoyue stepped on Li Jiaqing's arm, and Li Jiaqing felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on his arm. He broke out in a cold sweat and began to beg for mercy.
Zhao Xiaoyue leaned over and said, "Remember two things: First, never appear in front of me again, and don't disturb my family; second, keep your hands to yourself, or I won't hesitate to cut them off; understand?"
"Understood, understood, we'll be going now!"
Uncle Li swallowed hard. My god, this is terrifying! This niece subdued Jiaqing in just two moves!
I wonder if Jiaqing will be able to carry on the family line; his testicles are probably broken!
Zhao Xiaoyue kicked the person lying on the ground and said, "Get out of here!"
Uncle Li helped Li Jiaqing up with trepidation and left. The way that girl looked at him was terrifying, as if she wanted to kill him.
Zhao Xiaoyue was reminded of the old lady's starvation death and wanted to rip off both families, but after all, he was the old lady's son. At this time, no matter what kind of son the old lady was, she would still love him.
For most older generations, daughters are considered as water spilled from a cup, and not having a son is not just a matter of having no one to care for them in their old age; it's a belief that the family line is severed, a mindset that leaves no room for compromise.
Therefore, she shouldn't go too far; just teach her a lesson.
Zhao Xiaoyue tried her best to calm her chaotic emotions. The old lady was a little disappointed, but Zhao Zhe's eyes were bright. So that's how amazing my sister is! That sweeping kick was so cool!
They shouted excitedly, "So cool! So awesome!"
Zhao Xiaoyue gestured for him to calm down, saying, "Calm down, calm down!"
He instantly reverted to his childlike nature.
Zhao Guozhong rushed into the courtyard in a panic, shouting, "Where is he? Where did he go?"
Zhao Zhe: "Oh, Dad and the others have all left. Grandma scolded them all away."
The old lady said with a stern face, "Give me the medicine. My heart can't take it anymore. What's wrong with me every day? Sigh."
As for Zhi Guozhong, as long as they don't cause trouble, that's fine. If they cause too much trouble, he'll call the police. He doesn't believe he can't deal with them.
The old lady took a few pills, went back to the back room and lay down. Her granddaughter told her to relax and that she had plenty of ways to handle the situation.
Several middle-aged women came in to check, but the man wasn't there. Less than half an hour later, Zhao Guozhong explained the whole story, and they all left.
Tian Xiuzhen is cleaning the restaurant with Zhao Zhe and Zhao Guozhong.
When Uncle Li and his group came in, it was lunchtime and the place was crowded. They paid almost half price, and for some dishes that hadn't been served yet, they got a full refund and even gave them two braised eggs as a bonus.
Zhao Xiaoyue was alone in the courtyard, lost in thought.
The eldest son has behaved himself, but the second son has started causing trouble. We can't just condemn him outright; we need to find a way to solve the problem once and for all.
