Seeing Liu Jian's anxious look, Wu Shanshan said, "You're so resourceful, aren't you? Why don't you come up with a solution?"
"Honey, I have no choice!"
"If you're capable, go ahead and use it; if you're not, die!"
As Wu Shanshan spoke, she took the shovel and went back.
As soon as Wu Shanshan left, Liu Jian turned to Wu Jianguo and said, "Dad, you have to help me this time! You have to help me!"
Seeing his son-in-law with snot and tears streaming down his face, Wu Jianguo innocently asked, "How can I help you, son-in-law?"
Liu Jian was taken aback for a moment, realizing that Wu Jianguo couldn't help with this matter, so it was better to have one less person know and avoid causing trouble!
So he waved his hand at Wu Jianguo and said, "Dad, I think we should forget about it! You're not omnipotent!"
After watching Liu Jian leave, Wu Jianguo turned to Zhang Amei and asked, "What's going on? Wasn't Erlaitou causing trouble for our family? Why is he all wilted like a frostbitten eggplant?"
Zhang Amei rolled her eyes at Wu Jianguo and said, "You're asking me?"
"Um!"
"Get lost! Who am I supposed to ask?"
Wu Jianguo, realizing he was being snubbed, shook his head and said, "Xiao Min!"
Zhang Min quickly replied, "What's wrong, Dad?"
"Is dinner ready? Daddy's starving!"
"Right away, right away!"
Then Lin Wufeng led Erlaitou to the newsstand and said to Song Ying, "Song Ying, Erlaitou and I are going to take care of something!"
Song Ying asked, somewhat puzzled, "What could possibly be between you and him?"
Lin Wufeng said with a smile, "It's nothing serious, just a small matter. I'll tell you when I get back. Bye!"
Song Ying watched as Lin Wufeng left with Er Laitou. The two of them were chatting and laughing. Although it was very strange, she did not stop them because she knew that Lin Wufeng was always reliable and would not cause any trouble!
At this moment, Zhuang Xiaoting said, "Mom, are you hungry? I'll go make you some food!"
Song Ying also stood up and said, "Me too, me too! Tu Nan hasn't had my cooking in a long time, I'll show off my skills to him today!"
As they talked, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked hand in hand towards their home. When they reached the alley entrance, they saw Xiaomin carrying out half a bowl of meat. Xiaomin smiled and said, "My family has prepared dinner. Come and eat with us!"
Zhuang Xiaoting politely replied, "No need, let's make something ourselves! Thank you, Xiaomin!"
"I served the dishes to Brother Tunan, please try them!"
Song Ying couldn't help but praise, "Wow! Xiaomin is so thoughtful! Our Tunan is so lucky to have such a delicious meal. Thank you, Xiaomin!"
Xiaomin blushed, lowered her head, and said, "We're all neighbors, isn't it only right that we look out for each other?"
"Really? Then I'll eat this half bowl of meat."
Xiaomin quickly said, "This is for Brother Tunan. If you want some, I'll get you some more!"
"Oh, so you know how to protect Tu Nan's food. Sigh, we're not as lucky as Tu Nan, with someone eyeing our food. We'd better go cook for ourselves!"
"Auntie, you...!"
Seeing that Xiaomin was about to blush and disappear into the ground, Song Ying quickly said, "Alright! I won't tease you anymore! Go and deliver it! Tu Nan will be starving soon!"
After saying that, Song Ying and her mother-in-law went home to cook.
Zhang Min carried the half-bowl of meat to the newsstand, handed it to Zhuang Tunan, and said, "Eat up! It was made especially for you!"
Zhuang Tunan was naturally embarrassed to accept the food, and said, "My sister went to cook, you should give it to Uncle Wu!"
Zhang Min said somewhat displeased, "What are you pretending for? Hurry up and eat! My dad and mom are eating, why are you worrying about that!"
"Hey! What's so delicious? If Brother Tunan isn't eating it, then I'll have it!"
Zhuang Tunan turned his head and saw Lin Dongzhe. The young man was dressed in designer clothes, a light blue suit, matching trousers, and shiny black leather shoes. He was wearing sunglasses and his hair was styled with grease, which was a bit too bright for his eyes.
Zhuang Tunan didn't give Lin Dongzhe a friendly look, saying, "I'd rather feed it to a dog than let you eat it!"
As he spoke, he took the bowl and chopsticks from Zhang Min and began to eat heartily.
Zhuang Tunan's actions made Zhang Min and Lin Dongzhe burst into laughter.
Perhaps Lin Dongzhe knew something, because he stopped talking to Zhuang Tunan and instead asked Zhang Min, "Xiao Min, have you seen my mother?"
"I went to cook with Sister Xiaoting!"
"Hehe, perfect timing! I haven't eaten either! It's mealtime, and I've been craving my mom's cooking for days!"
Lin Dongzhe ignored Zhuang Tunan, because he knew that he wouldn't get a kind response from Zhuang Tunan if he spoke to him again.
Lin Dongzhe ran to the yard, entered the small house, and called out, "Mom, Mom!"
Song Ying, who was still busy in the kitchen, paused for a moment and asked Zhuang Xiaoting, "Am I hallucinating? It sounds like someone is calling me!"
Zhuang Xiaoting also stopped what she was doing, wanting to listen quietly to see if there was any more movement.
At this moment, Lin Dongzhe called out again, "Mom, Mom! Where are you? I've missed you so much these past few days!"
This time, Song Ying heard it clearly. She quickly turned around and ran to the outer room. She immediately saw Lin Dongzhe, who was dressed in designer brands, and then smiled and said to him, "Come here!"
Lin Dongzhe thought Song Ying wanted to hug him, since they hadn't seen each other for several days.
Lin Dongzhe was filled with excitement and opened his arms to rush towards Song Ying.
However, just as Lin Dongzhe was about to get close to Song Ying, Song Ying suddenly raised her leg and kicked Lin Dongzhe in the stomach. Lin Dongzhe bent over in pain, and Song Ying then smacked him on the head twice!
Lin Dongzhe raised his head slightly and said, "My God! What did I do wrong? Why are you treating me like this?"
Song Ying took out the photo Zhuang Tunan had given her, flashed it in front of Lin Dongzhe, and said, "Tell me! What's going on here? If you can't explain yourself, I'll beat you to death today!"
Only then did Lin Dongzhe straighten his back, but he still held his stomach with both hands and said painfully, "Mom, that's photoshopped!"
"What? A fart picture? What kind of fart can be pictured?"
Zhuang Xiaoting, who was standing nearby, said, "Mom, that's a program on the computer that can change one person's picture to another. As long as you have a computer, this trick is very easy to pull off!"
Song Ying looked at Zhuang Xiaoting in surprise and said, "You know about this kind of trick?"
"Yes, I know about this procedure, but I don't know if the photos are real or fake!"
"Alright, since you have this technology, I won't wrong you. But that doesn't mean you're 100% right. At most, it's only 50/50. Are you going to confess voluntarily, or do you want me to torture you?"
Lin Dongzhe said, somewhat aggrieved, "You want to hit me again? Mom, I'm innocent!"
"I don't know if you're innocent or not, but I know I went too far. Your dad said he'd give you a double beating, and he'd make sure your bottom is bleeding!"
"Mom, how can you believe a fake photo instead of your own son?"
"Your dad said you quit your job?"
"Yes, I quit my job and started a trading and wholesale company!"
What is a trading and wholesale company?
"They buy goods from the south at low prices and then mark them up before selling them to small shops, supermarkets, and supply and marketing cooperatives!"
"You mean the kind of buying and selling for profit?"
"You're talking about middlemen, but I'm a trader who makes a profit from the price difference. I can earn tens of thousands by reselling a batch of goods, so why wouldn't I do it? Besides, my brother Ada has the production area, and my brother Pengfei has the transportation line. It's all ready-made!"
"Xiaoting said you're always out partying, what's going on?"
"That wasn't for social obligations, otherwise who would want your goods?"
"Lin Dongzhe, I'm warning you, you can socialize all you want, but if you have any ulterior motives and start having affairs outside, it won't just be your father and me beating you, but also Xiaoting. The three of us will beat you until we cripple you!"
Lin Dongzhe quickly smiled and said, "Mom, I only need Xiaoting, there will never be anyone else."
Song Ying turned to Zhuang Xiaoting and asked, "Xiaoting, do you believe him?"
Zhuang Xiaoting suddenly bent over, gagging and feeling nauseous. Song Ying quickly said to Lin Dongzhe, "Quick, get a trash can!"
