Chapter 147 As Expected
Oh my God!
He forced an awkward but polite smile at Li Banxia, who was looking over, and said, "Mom, Erniu is treating you like her own mother. Her mother... spoils her quite a bit."
Li Banxia nodded and said to Erniu, "I have to go to work and don't have time to cook such complicated dishes. Lao San, you cook for your girlfriend."
Su Laosan opened his mouth, but he didn't know how.
But he certainly couldn't argue with his mother right now, so he could only reluctantly agree.
Fang Erniu looked at him with curiosity.
He said, "Su Laosan, you're amazing! You can do this too?! My little brother always tells me you're spoiled and can't do anything. Come to my house later and show him what you've got to scare him to death!"
Su Laosan, "..."
All he knows how to make is knife-cut noodles!
He felt he had shot himself in the foot and was no longer able to laugh.
Su Laosan grabbed Fang Erniu and pulled her up, saying, "Let's go, I'll take you home. It'll be dark soon."
Okay.
Fang Erniu greeted Li Banxia and the eldest son and his wife with a smile and said goodbye. As she left the hospital, she pulled Su Laosan aside and asked, "Did I use that 'ah' correctly just now?"
Su Laoda and his wife exchanged a glance and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Li Banxia shook her head, closed her eyes, and continued to enjoy the evening breeze while thinking.
On September 16th, Lin Jiefang got married and held a wedding banquet at the Dongcheng Grand Hotel.
Su Laosan delivered the chickens he had collected to the restaurant's kitchen a day in advance.
The person who came to take over from the kitchen glanced at the chicken and was about to have it sent in when Su Laosan stopped him.
He said with a smile, "Brother, we can't be careless with the chickens used for this wedding banquet. Please check the quality of the chickens and weigh them one by one so I can report back to the guests."
As he spoke, he handed over a piece of paper with information about each chicken clearly written on it, and the recipient had to sign it at the end.
The person who took over immediately became impatient.
Pushing the paper aside, he frowned and glanced at Su Laosan. "So much trouble? What are you guys up to? Take it or leave it, it's like we're begging you. We already have our own, we only accepted it because you insisted on giving it to us for free. So much fuss..."
"The person who gave you the chickens said they were free, but we received payment for selling them to him. If you don't properly inspect them and something goes wrong with the chickens later, we won't be responsible. A wedding banquet with fifty tables—if something goes wrong, your restaurant will probably..."
The man's face darkened immediately upon hearing this. He glared at Su Laosan and reluctantly went to check each person in turn.
I must say, the chicken was indeed of good quality.
They all look so plump, and you can tell at a glance that they're free-range and roam around a lot.
After much trouble, I finally finished filling out the form. As I was signing it, I remarked to Su Laosan, "This chicken is good; no wonder the groom wanted to buy it from outside."
Su Laosan laughed and said, "He married the daughter of the auto parts factory director, so he must want to make things look good."
The man nodded.
"...That's just how it is, it's too much trouble. We'll be busy all day today for tomorrow's wedding banquet."
"Yes, yes, to be honest, I also hate trouble, but that's what we do."
Su Laosan wasn't angry at all. He still smiled and offered the other person a cigarette. The other person glanced at his cigarette box and saw it was Ashima cigarettes, which cost ten yuan a pack!
The man swallowed, his hand involuntarily reaching out to take the swallow and smelling it under his nose, but he didn't inhale, and casually tucked it behind his ear.
When he looked at Su Laosan again, his expression had softened considerably.
"Alright, we've inspected the chicken. Go get the money from the groom."
The man called the kitchen staff to come out and put the chicken in. Taking advantage of the moment, Su Laosan stuffed the bag of Ashima cigarettes into his hand, saying, "I don't like smoking this. You can have it all, brother."
As she spoke, she winked at him.
The man looked down and saw that apart from the two sticks that were sticking out, the rest of the money was at least fifty or sixty yuan.
His pupils dilated, and he looked at Su Laosan, "This is..."
Su Laosan whispered a couple of words in his ear.
The man hesitated for a moment, then, as if remembering something, he clutched the cigarette pack, stuffed it into his pocket, and nodded.
The wedding banquet proceeded smoothly the next day.
Lin Jiefang's performance was commendable. During the groom's speech, he looked at the bride with adoration in his eyes the whole time. The bride's face was covered by her wedding dress, and she was blushing with shyness.
The mother and son did not invite anyone from the Lin family. Their explanation to the bride's family was that they were afraid the country folk would not understand the customs and might disrupt the wedding.
Therefore, most of the people who attended the wedding banquet were the bride's relatives and friends, employees of the auto parts factory, and some of Lin Jiefang's classmates from junior high school, high school, and university who were close to him.
After learning how powerful Lin Jiefang's wife's parents and uncle were, the way they looked at Lin Jiefang changed.
The man watched as the last dish of the wedding banquet was served. Many people had eaten the chicken without any problems, and he had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a guest vomiting next to him.
Then, he lay on the ground, convulsing and foaming at the mouth.
Someone shouted, "Chicken soup for the soul is poisonous."
The scene instantly descended into chaos.
The man felt as if a thunderbolt had struck him, and his whole body went numb.
grass!
The guy who delivered the chicken was right.
Someone is really trying to ruin their restaurant by using chicken as a pretext!
He dashed back to the kitchen, grabbed the phone, and dialed the number written in the cigarette pack.
It was answered after only one ring.
It seems like they were waiting there on purpose.
"Someone got poisoned, they said it was from drinking chicken soup."
The person on the other end hummed in agreement. "Remember to tell your manager what I'm teaching you. Whether you can keep your jobs depends on you."
The man shuddered, goosebumps rising all over his body.
He wanted to say something more, but the other end of the line had already hung up.
The man then ran to find the head chef, who had already met up with the restaurant manager. The group of them then went to the lobby on the first floor where the poisoned man was located.
On the other side, Li Banxia was at work when she suddenly received a call from Lin Jiefang, saying that there was something extremely urgent and she needed to answer the phone immediately.
Li Banxia glanced at the calendar; it was Lin Jiefang's wedding day. Why was she calling her at this time?
Thinking of the chicken that her third brother had sent over, Li Banxia narrowed her eyes and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
“Aunt Li, to make a long story short, someone got poisoned after eating the chicken that Lao San delivered to the restaurant. I know it can't be the chicken; someone must be jealous that I married the director's daughter and is trying to sabotage me. You need to go home quickly and tell Lao San to run away. The other party's family has called the police, and if it gets any later, the police will be coming to arrest him.”
Li Banxia tightened her grip on the telephone cord.
There was a sense of disbelief, as if they had been waiting for them here all along.
He gave a mocking snort and said, "Alright, I got it."
After saying that, ignoring the other person's reaction, he slammed the phone down, asked Liu Mingcui to help him ask for leave, and then took a taxi home.
From afar, I could see that the courtyard gate was surrounded by people.
She pushed through the crowd and found that the police had already arrived and were handcuffing Su Laosan and Fang Erniu, pinning them to the ground.
Fang Erniu saw her and shouted at her loud voice, "Auntie, run!"
