Although what Zhuang Furong said was not without reason, Yang Liu did not want to go back to Boyi from the bottom of her heart. She believed that with her qualifications, she would definitely find a real rich son-in-law, not a rich man like Boyi.
"Okay, mother, I'm hungry. Go get me something to eat. Here, I got this from Tang Boyi. Anyway, I don't plan to go there again."
Yang Liu's expression became much calmer. She sat back on the stool, took out the money given by Boyi from her pocket and put it on the table, then asked Zhuang Furong to get her something to eat.
When Zhuang Furong saw the money on the table, her eyes turned green. She excitedly grabbed the money and started counting it.
"I'm saying my judgment is spot on. This is nothing, but I'm giving you this much money. If it really is something, then it's..."
Zhuang Furong held the money in both hands and placed it on her chest, already imagining herself living in an apartment building and wearing gold and silver jewelry.
Yang Liu thought she was already snobbish and worldly enough, but she hadn't expected her mother to be even more exaggerated. She stood up and went back into the house, leaving Zhuang Furong alone with her fantasies.
In the restaurant, Boyi and others had already eaten and drunk their fill.
Seeing that Li Miaomiao and Zhou Hengliang had put down their chopsticks, Boyi continued to ask, "Are you full? If not, order a few more dishes."
Boyi was truly grateful to Zhou Hengliang from the bottom of his heart, and he insisted on making sure they had enough to eat before he felt comfortable.
Zhou Hengliang slumped in his chair, rubbing his stomach, which was swollen like a drum. The food had already reached his throat. He had never eaten so full in his entire life. As the saying goes, "extremes lead to the opposite." His stomach was so full that he didn't want to move at all.
When he heard Boyi say to order more dishes, he quickly waved his hand to refuse, "I'm full, I'm full, if I eat more, my stomach will burst."
"Okay, I'll treat you guys another day when I have time. The boss will come over to settle the bill."
Boyi called the boss over to pay for the meal, "Then, let's go now."
"Uncle, please let me take my time. I'm too full and can't catch my breath."
Zhou Hengliang didn't really mean what he said, and he said such embarrassing things truthfully. Boyi couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Seeing Zhou Hengliang being so speechless, Li Miaomiao's face changed and she stepped hard on his foot. He sat up straight in pain and was about to ask Li Miaomiao why she stepped on him, but when he saw Li Miaomiao's expression, he dared not say a word, knowing that he had done something wrong and made his wife angry again.
Seeing that Li Miaomiao looked unhappy, Boyi quickly changed the subject, "I was just thinking of going back to the village to urge them to work overtime and finish building the house quickly. The matter between me and your Aunt Shumei can't be delayed any longer."
When Li Miaomiao heard that Boyi was going to take Xiao Youchen back to the village again, they knew that they had gone through so much trouble to get Xiao Youchen out, and the situation was not stable yet, so they would never allow Xiao Youchen to go back. If they went back, Wen Dazui would definitely keep Xiao Youchen at home again.
Li Miaomiao quickly spoke up to stop him, "Uncle, aren't you going to do business? My father is overseeing the construction of the house! We can't wait. Wait until Hengliang and I get back and have Dad urge the bricklayers. Besides, this is a technical job, and you can't cut corners just to save time! Safety comes first. There's no point in doing this kind of thing, even if you go and urge them in person. Just focus on your business."
Li Miaomiao lightly kicked Zhou Hengliang's leg and winked at him. Zhou Hengliang instantly understood what she meant and quickly helped speak up.
"Yes! Uncle, this opportunity doesn't come every day. While business is good, you should seize the opportunity to make money. In today's society, money is the bottom line."
…
After repeated persuasion from Li Miaomiao and Zhou Hengliang, Boyi finally gave up the idea of returning to the village.
Zhou Hengliang and the others were afraid that Boyi would go back on his word, so they hurried back to the village without even taking a rest.
Boyi brought Xiao Youchen back to the store and continued to open the door to do business. Boyi thought that after closing the store at night, he would buy some wine and food and go to Shumei's place to tell her the good news that Yang Liu was gone, so that she could be happy too.
Li Miaomiao and Zhou Hengliang returned home and sneaked into the yard. They didn't know how to explain to Wen Dazui their decision to act without prior consent.
Wen Dazui, who had sensitive ears, knew that they had returned even though his back was facing them.
"Come back!"
Wen Dazui's words startled them. The two stopped their furtive steps, stood there hand in hand, and responded in a low voice.
Wen Dazui turned around and didn't see Xiao Youchen, so he walked to the door to look for him.
"Where's Xiao Youchen? Why can't I see him?"
The two of them smiled awkwardly, and Li Miaomiao pushed Zhou Hengliang forward to answer. Zhou Hengliang moved forward and backward, but still didn't speak, hesitating and grinning foolishly.
