Chapter 236 Friends



An Wan was inside introducing the characteristics and methods of making premium pastries to the girls, unaware that someone had come to the shop from outside.

Everyone in Lujia Village knew that Yunping's family had opened a pastry shop, and that the money was borrowed from Miss He Yurou.

No one expected that Lu Sen's family would have such a stroke of luck and suddenly become bosses.

He had so much debt before, but suddenly he had the money to pay it off in one day.

A third of the villagers came to watch the spectacle, only to find that there were few customers in front of "Wanwan Pastry Shop" and only a few pastries in the glass display case.

They thought Lu Sen's family business was bad and would never succeed.

Upon seeing the villagers, Yunping and Niu Ahong quickly went to the kitchen to retrieve the ordinary pastries they had prepared beforehand and distributed them to the villagers at the door.

As a result, they were rejected.

"Your unsold pastries are being fed to us? That's going too far!"

"Exactly! They're so mean! Giving us unsold pastries, they're heartless."

"It must taste bad, that's why nobody's selling it! Let's go! We don't want to get sick."

Several middle-aged women took turns making slanderous remarks and urging the others to leave.

Dozens of villagers scattered in an instant.

Yunping and Niu Ahong were almost furious.

This scene was witnessed by Grandma Lu and Lu Lu, who had just arrived. They both believed that Yunping and Niu Ahong's pastries were not made well, which was why there were no customers at the shop entrance.

"Grandma, look, I told you business was definitely bad. There are hardly any customers at the shop entrance, and even the villagers don't eat her pastries. Maybe they're just really bad."

Seeing how badly Lu Sen's shop was doing, Lu Lu was secretly pleased, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face.

Grandma Lu nodded, feeling happy at the sight of Yunping's sad face. "Hmph! So that's why she's doing business. Turns out she's not doing well and nobody wants her. That's why she's offering free samples and buy-one-get-one-free deals."

"Yeah! That's why they're doing this buy-one-get-one-free deal—they can't sell anything. Second Aunt is crazy, wasting money like this." Lu Lu laughed smugly.

She's happy whenever Yunping's family suffers a major misfortune.

Who told them to destroy her family, causing her to lose both her father and mother?

No sooner had Lu Lu and Grandma Lu left than Grandpa He arrived at "Wanwan Snack Shop".

Two elderly people also got out of the car.

"Come in quickly, this is the snack shop I was talking about. It's run by my granddaughter, and as her grandfather, you must come and support her."

Grandpa He smiled and pointed to the sign for "Wanwan Dim Sum Shop" before walking in first.

Even though he can walk easily now, he still prefers to use a cane.

"Hey, don't rush! Wait for us—" The two elderly people behind them quickly caught up.

As they got older, their legs became increasingly clumsy, and seeing Grandpa He walking briskly made them grit their teeth and stomp their feet in anger.

This old geezer, I haven't seen him for a month or two, and his legs have become so strong.

Did you eat some kind of highly nutritious tonic like deer antler?

"Hurry up! You guys—" Old Master He turned around and laughed loudly at them.

"Old He, how come your feet are so nimble now? Did you eat something? Let us have a taste!"

"That's right! They don't share good things with us. It's not good to keep things to yourself."

The two old men struggled to catch up with Grandpa He, and were so out of breath that they almost fainted.

"What did I eat? Don't overthink it. I just recuperated in Lujia Village for a few months. The scenery there is beautiful, the air is fresh, and my mood improved, which helped me get better."

Grandpa He played the cha-cha, but he just didn't want to tell his two good friends the truth.

In fact, he didn't know the truth either.

But knowing it was related to An Wan, he had to protect her.

But I also wanted my two best friends, with whom I had shared life and death, to taste the premium pastries and improve their health.

Upon hearing that Grandpa He had arrived, An Wan went out to greet him, and he took the opportunity to introduce her to his two friends.

“This is my granddaughter. As important figures in Shuanglong County, you must protect my granddaughter and ensure she is not harmed or unhappy in any way.”

"Hello, grandpas, I'm Wanwan."

"Such an adorable little girl is your granddaughter? That's so unfair!"

“I don’t believe she’s your granddaughter. You must have acknowledged her, and I will acknowledge her.”

The two old men took a liking to An Wan the moment they saw her.

Those big, bright eyes looked incredibly intelligent.

"So what if she's adopted? I'll treat her like my own daughter. She can only have one grandfather, so don't even think about taking advantage of her."

Grandpa He defended his dignity and rights as a grandfather.

While the three of them were arguing, An Wan went to get the premium pastries.

When they smelled the delicious aroma of the pastries, the two old men fell silent.

"Grandpa Pan, Grandpa Qiu, please have some pastries."

Grandpa Pan and Grandpa Qiu are quite distinguished; besides being good friends of Grandpa He, the three of them were also comrades-in-arms.

Grandpa Pan has now retired and is enjoying his later years.

But he was previously the county head of Shuanglong County, and even served as mayor.

Grandpa Qiu served as a military officer throughout his life.

They are the most powerful people in Shuanglong County; everyone knows them.

Therefore, An Wan tried her best to entertain them, hoping to win their favor and perhaps make her family's pastries famous through their hospitality.

"Then we won't be polite, Wanwan, thank you."

Grandpa Pan picked up a piece of crystal cake because the mochi looked too sweet, and the lotus pastry looked too hard.

He's over eighty years old, and he's almost lost all his teeth.

Grandpa Qiu also took a piece of coconut milk jelly, but didn't choose the lotus flower pastry.
