Zhou Lifang was not told about Zhou Qiang's return.
But Zhou Lifang got the news from somewhere and blocked the door of Li Mu's house early in the morning, waiting for the two of them.
As soon as she came up, she pointed at Zhou Qiang and said, "You're back now, why don't you go home? Do you know how hard it is for me to be pregnant alone?"
When Zhou Qiang heard Zhou Lifang's words, he wanted to roll his eyes instantly, but he considered that this woman had cheated him of money.
I could only swallow my anger and say, "I'm sorry, Lifang. The store was too busy yesterday. I didn't want to disturb your rest, so I didn't go back."
After hearing Zhou Qiang's explanation, Zhou Lifang pursed her lips and reluctantly accepted it.
But then he pulled Zhou Qiang aside and asked, "Is this point in charge, you or your brother?"
Zhou Qiang said with a bitter face: "What do you mean I am in charge of my brother? The store belongs to my brother, not to me. Don't think too much."
Zhou Lifang looked confused and pointed at Zhou Qiang's head and said, "Can't you be more capable? Can't you let your brother take care of you alone and make more money?"
After hearing Zhou Lifang's words, Zhou Qiang instinctively wanted to refute, but when he thought of Li Mu's plan, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction.
...
...
Pretending to be confused, he said, "How can that be possible? My brother will definitely not agree."
Zhou Lifang became angry when she saw Zhou Qiang like this and could only vent her anger by beating Zhou Qiang's arm.
Seeing Zhou Qiang's fearless look, he said, "I don't care. You find a way for me. The money you gave me last time is not enough to raise a child. I want my child to be raised in wealth, not poverty. I don't want him to be as useless as us."
After saying that, he left Zhou Qiang angrily.
Zhou Qiang shrugged and looked at Zhou Lifang who was walking away with an indifferent expression.
After making sure Zhou Lifang had left, Li Mu walked out of the house and looked at Zhou Qiang and said, "No way, it's only the first day of business and you're already so jealous."
"I could hear you guys outside from inside the house. She really doesn't keep anyone in check."
Hearing Li Mu's slightly teasing voice, Zhou Qiang sighed and said with great dissatisfaction: "If she hadn't cheated me of my money, I really wanted to break up with her right then and there."
"You just beat me on the hand and it hurts." As he said this, he rubbed the place where Zhou Lifang had just hit him.
Li Mu just found it funny and thought to himself, "Who told you to provoke me?"
This was what he thought in his heart, but Li Mu did not say it out loud, for fear that Zhou Qiang would vent his anger on him later.
The two of them packed up for a while and prepared to go to the store.
Brother Shen also delivered the ingredients shortly after the two arrived at the store.
Li Mu could only repeat the same steps as yesterday. In order to prevent it from being enough, Li Mu doubled today's quantity, fearing that he would encounter the same situation as yesterday when he just opened.
It’s not even lunch time yet and the food is gone.
Compared to the first day of opening, the business in the following days was not as busy as the first day, but there was still a constant stream of people queuing up to taste the food.
In this small town, there is only one grilled fish restaurant. The people in the town are more curious about it, and the price is not expensive, so more people come to try it.
Because we had enough ingredients and there were three people helping out in the store, we weren't too busy.
When lunch time was almost over, Zhou Lifang came over again. As soon as she came, she arrogantly ordered Zhou Qiang to do this and that. Some customers who were unaware of the situation saw Zhou Lifang like this and thought she was the boss's wife.
Their words were full of politeness. Zhou Lifang found a table and sat down alone. Wu Min brought her a cup of warm water. However, Zhou Lifang saw that Wu Min was very good-looking and worked very skillfully with Zhou Qiang.
Unconsciously feeling jealous, she said to Wu Min, "What's wrong with you, waiter? The water is cold. Pour me a new glass."
Wu Min had heard about Zhou Qiang's girlfriend a long time ago. Considering that Zhou Lifang was pregnant, she could only swallow her anger and pour another glass for Zhou Lifang.
As a result, Zhou Lifang was still not satisfied and kept finding fault.
Zhou Qiang, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore and said a few fair words to Wu Min. As a result, Zhou Lifang directly mocked Zhou Qiang.
"Oh, this isn't a waitress, this is your lover out there! She's so protective of me, I have to run the barber shop by myself while I'm pregnant."
"Why don't you feel sorry for me?"
When Zhou Qiang heard what Zhou Lifang said, his face turned blue and red.
Li Mu, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the noise outside and hurried out, saying, "What's going on?"
Seeing that Li Mu was even more aggrieved at this moment, Zhou Lifang walked up to him and cried, "Brother, please be fair. Zhou Qiang actually scolded me for this woman..."
After saying that, he pointed at Wu Min.
The customers nearby were no longer in the mood to eat and looked over at the few people from time to time. After all, eating was not as important as eating melons.
In order not to delay business, Li Mu asked Wu Min to help out at the door alone, and he took Zhou Qiang and Zhou Lifang to the kitchen.
"Qiangzi, what's going on?" Li Mu glanced at Zhou Qiang and asked with a cold face.
"This woman is looking for trouble as soon as she comes. Wu Min is kind enough to pour her some water, but she is still nitpicking. Isn't this just looking for trouble?"
When he thought of what Zhou Lifang had just done, he really had no place to vent his dissatisfaction in his heart. Zhou Qiang started complaining to Li Mu like pouring beans.
Hearing Zhou Qiang's words, Li Mu looked at Zhou Lifang with a hint of coldness and said, "Wu Min is not a waiter, she is our partner. You'd better not cause trouble."
"If you still mind, I will try to reduce their contact. If that doesn't work, I will transfer Qiangzi back to the countryside to look after the fish pond."
When Zhou Lifang heard Li Mu's answer, which contained a hint of warning in his words, she no longer dared to act rashly. She could only nod reluctantly to show that she understood.
After such a commotion, Zhou Lifang no longer had the appetite to eat the grilled fish. She instructed Zhou Qiang to send her to the barber shop after she recovered and then left.
After Zhou Lifang left, Li Mu looked at Zhou Qiang and said, "This girl is really a nuisance. Go and apologize to Wu Min later."
Zhou Qiang nodded and went out to help Wu Min take care of the business.
When she reached the door, Zhou Lifang happened to meet the eyes of Wu Min, who was standing at the door soliciting business. Zhou Lifang glared at Wu Min fiercely and left.
Zhou Qiang had no choice but to walk up quickly and apologize to Wu Min. Wu Min did not care too much and forgave Zhou Qiang directly.
After all, it wasn’t Zhou Qiang’s fault in the beginning. We can only blame the problem with the partner he found.
