When Li Xiaoyu saw Ma Yulian, she couldn't help but recall how Ma Yulian had almost pushed her into a pit of fire before!
So Li Xiaoyu gave Ma Yulian a cold shoulder, pushed away her hand that was grabbing hers, and asked irritably, "What do you care who owns this restaurant? Are you going to order anything or not?"
"If you're not going to order, then get out. Don't block the way for the people behind you. Can't you see how many customers are waiting?"
When Ma Yulian turned around, she found that there were indeed quite a few people waiting for her to come out and make room.
The more customers there were in the shop, the more anxious Ma Yulian became to find out who owned it!
"You brat, why are you giving me that look?"
Ma Yulian scolded Li Xiaoyu, and then wanted to lecture her. This girl still held a grudge against her. Wasn't she just doing it for her own good?
Li Xiaoyu looked very impatient.
Having recently grown accustomed to the good life without her troublesome mother, Li Xiaoyu was truly unable to give her a pleasant look when she saw her again!
"Hey, are you going to order or not? If not, move aside, we need to eat!"
Someone behind Ma Yulian urged her on. When she turned around, she saw that they were several people dressed as workers.
Ma Yulian didn't dare to provoke anyone outside, so she picked up the menu on the table and quickly ordered!
"I want a lotus root and pork rib soup, a steamed fish, stir-fried vegetables... I want to take everything to go."
Li Xiaoyu nodded, then went back to the kitchen to relay the message and gave Ma Yulian another sign.
"Just wait over there. We'll call you when the food is ready!"
After that, Li Xiaoyu served dishes to others, ignoring Ma Yulian.
While waiting for her food to be packed after receiving her tag, Ma Yulian couldn't help but look around at the restaurant's decor!
It was very clean and tidy, with some green plants as decoration, and almost all the seats were full.
The business was so good that Ma Yulian was speechless. And the decoration of the shop, she wondered how much money it must have cost to renovate!
"Who is the 'Li' in 'Li's Home-Style Dishes'? Could it be Li Junsheng?"
Ma Yulian couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"If this really is a restaurant owned by Li Junsheng, with so many people eating here, how much money must he make?"
While pondering the matter, Ma Yulian was also eager to figure it out.
If this shop really is owned by Li Junsheng... just thinking about it makes her feel suffocated!
Li Xiaoyu gave her a cold shoulder, and Ma Yulian couldn't stand it any longer, so she went to the cashier and started talking to Li Chunya.
"Third brother, you're out working before your postpartum confinement is even over? Isn't Sun Gui going to pick you up?"
Li Chunya glanced at her indifferently, too lazy to mention that she was already divorced!
"You're even concerned about my postpartum period?"
Li Chunya's tone when speaking to Ma Yulian was also off, which made Ma Yulian very unhappy, feeling that she was being sarcastic and mocking.
However, in order to find out who owned the shop, Ma Yulian put up with Li Chunya for the time being.
"Look at what you're saying. I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you, how could I not care about you?"
Li Chunya snorted lightly upon hearing this, ignoring her completely.
Knowing that trying to appeal to emotions would be pointless, Ma Yulian lost patience and asked again, "Who owns this shop? They're so wealthy that they've hired your whole family and even made you bring your child to work!"
"You seem to have it easy collecting money here, right? How much does this restaurant make in a day?"
Ma Yulian desperately wanted to get information out of Li Chunya, but Li Chunya didn't want Ma Yulian to know that the restaurant was opened by her father as a partner.
Otherwise, given her temper, she would definitely cause trouble!
So Li Chunya pretended not to hear what she was saying, and when a customer came to pay the bill, she was busy giving the customer change.
"Brother, you owe three yuan, here's two yuan in change, please take the change."
"Thanks, little sister."
Li Chunya put the money away and didn't even glance at Ma Yulian, as if she didn't exist.
She then asked another question, but Li Chunya not only didn't answer it, she even learned to ask her a question in return.
"Don't ask me first, let me ask you. You came to the restaurant to pack food to take back to Chen Dazhu, who has no legs. You're so good to him, so virtuous, but how can you face my father?"
Li Chunya couldn't help but speak up for Li Junsheng, as Ma Yulian had never been questioned like this by her own children before.
Ma Yulian glared at Li Chunya and cursed fiercely, "You ungrateful wretch, why are you siding with Li Junsheng? No matter what I'm doing wrong, I'm still your mother, you can't talk to me like that!"
"Just because I'm your mother, you'll have to take care of me when I come. Without me, how would you survive? Stop being sarcastic. Could you do such an easy job without me?"
Ma Yulian launched a moral blackmail against Li Chunya. Just as Li Chunya was about to say something, Li Junsheng came out from the kitchen and immediately confronted Ma Yulian.
"What does Chun Ya doing at the cashier's office have to do with you? It's only because of you that she's doing a little better. Have some shame! Stop trying to make yourself look good!"
Just as Ma Yulian was about to retort, Li Junsheng continued, "If you have nothing to do, go back and take care of your good lover. Don't waste our time at work. Can't you see we're all busy?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Yulian's eyes lit up, and her heart instantly calmed down.
“I knew this restaurant couldn’t be owned by you. You, Li Junsheng, couldn’t possibly be that rich. Just the renovation alone must have cost a fortune!”
Li Junsheng was too lazy to explain to Ma Yulian that it was actually a good thing that she thought he couldn't afford to run the restaurant.
They were just about to trick Ma Yulian away when, unexpectedly, a vegetable vendor on a pedicab appeared at the restaurant entrance the next second.
They stopped right in front of the restaurant, carrying several large bags of vegetables!
Upon seeing Li Junsheng, the vegetable vendors greeted him warmly.
"Mr. Li, I've delivered the groceries to you. All the groceries you asked for over the phone are here. Your restaurant is doing really well; we have to deliver groceries to you twice a day!"
The vegetable vendors were quite honest and happy, and they were exceptionally respectful to Li Junsheng, since Li Junsheng's restaurant was doing well and they, as vegetable vendors, could also make more money.
Life can be better then.
Li Junsheng sighed inwardly. Not wanting to ignore the vegetable vendor's enthusiasm, he smiled and said, "Thank you for making the trip. We should have gone to buy them ourselves. Sit down, have some water and rest for a while. I'll have my daughter settle the payment for you!"
"Mr. Li, you're too kind. It's nothing, it's all my duty."
Listening to their conversation, Ma Yulian looked on in disbelief.
This vegetable vendor is actually named Li Junsheng, the boss of this restaurant?!
"No, how could that be? Why are you calling him 'boss'? He's not the owner of this restaurant!"
Ma Yulian grabbed the vegetable vendor and questioned him, but the vendor just thought Ma Yulian was a crazy woman and politely pushed her away.
"Why not? This Li Family Home-Style Restaurant is owned by this Mr. Li."
Ma Yulian was stunned when she received confirmation from others that Li Junsheng was the restaurant owner!
