Lin Weidong was stunned, still unaware of what he had done wrong.
Yesterday, that guy saw the group off with a big smile, as if the deal had been struck.
Finally, Lin Qingyu and Zhou Jiahui stood at the door, watched the person leave, and then said to their elder brother.
Are you satisfied with today's dishes?
The older brother was overjoyed. Although he had drunk some alcohol, he was still quite sober.
With his briefcase tucked under his arm, he said in a loud voice, "Your restaurant is great! The food is delicious, and the service is excellent!"
The eldest brother's first impression was that of a thug, and Lin Qingyu thought he was a difficult person to deal with, and was worried that Zhou Jiahui would be mistreated inside.
Surprisingly, the older brother was quite sensible. She smiled and said, "As long as you're satisfied, that's all that matters. When we're in business, the most important thing is that our customers are satisfied!"
The older brother went in to pay the bill. He took out the wad of cash from yesterday and said generously, "Keep the change, ma'am, consider it a congratulatory gift!"
Lin Qingyu looked at the stack of money; it was enough to reimburse all the customers' meal expenses for the day.
She quickly pulled the person who was about to leave, took only what she was entitled to, and returned everything else to them.
"Brother, you don't need to do this. We're all honest people. How am I supposed to do business if you keep acting like this?"
There was someone standing next to him who looked like the boss's assistant. He was supporting his boss, who was about to lose his balance, without saying a word.
"Boss lady, you're here already..."
"How about this, brother, just come to my restaurant more often and give it some publicity. It's all the same. Everyone's watching!"
Lin Qingyu pointed to the people around her. Although there weren't many people, the room was almost full.
The older brother chuckled, "You're quite an interesting girl, alright! I'll introduce a few more friends next time!"
Finally, Lin Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief after successfully seeing her older brother off. She looked at Zhou Jiahui beside her and asked her a question.
"Did I make things difficult for you?"
Zhou Jiahui smiled happily, then turned to Lin Qingyu and quietly asked her.
"No, no, ma'am. I'd like to ask, if a customer gives a tip, am I allowed to accept it?"
"Well..."
Lin Qingyu really didn't expect that the man would actually give a tip.
Seeing her hesitate, Zhou Jiahui quickly added, "I didn't accept it! Boss lady, I was just asking, just asking!"
“This is indeed a question worth discussing. We can talk about it later. I’ve never seen a guest like this before.”
Zhou Jiahui felt much relieved. Luckily, she had insisted on not taking the money from them, even though it was two months' salary for her!
After lunchtime, there weren't as many people.
Lin Weidong's classmates were all leaving, so he went along to see them off.
As soon as they reached the door, they ran into Gu Xichao, who had returned from his holiday.
"Uncle Weidong, what's going on?"
He had just learned that Lin Weidong had returned home; he didn't even know the restaurant had reopened until Gu Shi asked him to come and help out at the factory.
Lin Weidong chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, "You've grown taller again! I'll go see my classmate off, you go in first!"
Gu Xichao glanced at Lin Weidong's back before turning and walking into the restaurant.
When Lin Qingyu saw him coming, she quickly called out to him, "Xiao Bao, have you eaten yet? Eat first!"
With fewer people in the restaurant, everyone was getting ready to eat.
"Okay, Auntie!"
During the meal, Gu Xichao secretly asked Lin Qingyu, "Aunt, is anyone staying at our house these past few days?"
Lin Qingyu smiled and said, "No, don't worry. Only Wei Dong has been in your room and slept in your bed."
She thought Gu Xichao didn't like people entering his room, so she didn't think much of it.
After Lin Weidong returned, he helped clean up the table after the meal.
Today truly marks a grand opening, a time of booming business, the first time in history.
They didn't finish until it was dark at night. Everyone was exhausted, but Lin Qingyu still followed the old custom and gave everyone a red envelope.
The amount remains as large as ever.
Gu Shi said he was coming to pick them up, but something came up at the last minute, so Lin Qingyu and the others went back.
She smiled and said to Li Xiuhua, "Actually, I'm not doing this to make money. It's just that it gives me a sense of accomplishment and makes me feel comfortable!"
Li Xiuhua nodded in agreement, "Yes! And being able to earn money myself means I can hold my head high at home!"
She's currently at the Lin family's house. While she might not be in charge, Zhao Hongxia wouldn't dare contradict her—that's a fact.
When the group arrived home, they discovered that someone across the street was burning paper money in front of their house for some unknown reason.
Moreover, it had just been burned, and was still emitting black smoke, with a pungent smell of paper money wafting through the air.
Li Xiuhua looked at the pile of ashes with a sense of gloom; she still cared about this.
She tried her best to shield Lin Qingyu with her body, and after Lin Qingyu opened the door, she quickly led him inside.
Lin Weidong and Gu Xichao were almost locked out.
"Oh dear, Xiao Bao Wei Dong, I didn't mean to, I was just in a hurry, in a hurry!"
Li Xiuhua looked at Gu Xichao and the other person with embarrassment. In her haste, she forgot that there were two other people outside, and she almost caught Gu Xichao's hand when she closed the door.
"It's alright, Grandma. You two chat first. I need to discuss something with Uncle Weidong!"
He then led Lin Weidong back into the house, closed the door, and they seemed to be discussing something.
"You should rest well today. You've had a long day. Are you feeling alright?"
Li Xiuhua reminded Lin Qingyu that she had recently started to feel a little nervous about Lin Qingyu.
If this had happened back in Pear Blossom Village, she probably would have done the same as everyone else.
"She's almost due and still working in the fields!"
"She went back to work the day after giving birth!"
These words must have been on her lips quite often, but fortunately, her time here has changed her mind.
Lin Qingyu nodded in agreement, and after washing up, she went back to her room.
Lin Weidong and Gu Xichao were sitting on the bed, having a very serious conversation.
Gu Xichao pitifully told Lin Weidong about his previous experiences, telling him everything without reservation.
"Uncle, you studied law, you must know that woman broke the law, right?"
Lin Weidong was also a little angry after hearing this, "How could that person be like this? Where is she now? I'll help you talk to her!"
Gu Xichao waved his hand and said, "No, I heard she has a mental illness. She was locked up a few days ago, but I don't know when she might be released!"
Hearing his somewhat dejected tone, Lin Weidong felt a pang of pity. "If she really has a mental illness, then things will be a bit difficult."
"But what can I do? What if she comes looking for me again after she gets out..."
Gu Xichao was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Lin Weidong couldn't understand how Jiang Lili could have fallen for him.
Although he looks mature and composed, is it really necessary?
Do you know how she developed her mental illness?
Gu Xichao was waiting for him to ask that question, and then he took out the newspaper that Gu Shi had given him.
Lin Weidong frowned more and more as he looked at the document; it was indeed a bit troublesome!
