Chapter 388 The Prodigal Son



When the little boy, who was leaning against the old woman and about to fall asleep, looked at Wei Fu and the others with a face full of resentment, he said, "You are too untrustworthy!"

"Even more untrustworthy than my father."

The old woman: “…” Grandson, there’s no need to say this.

"If you have any questions, please ask them now. If it's any later, we will have to go back to eat."

Hearing that they hadn't eaten yet, the Queen Mother smiled apologetically and said, "We haven't eaten yet either. Why don't we treat you to a meal and chat while we're at it?"

If Ying Liu was Ying Jiu's child, they would naturally ask him about his usual situation in class, but he was not.

Since Ying Jiu said he was a stranger, they wouldn't pay too much attention to him.

The old woman raised her chin and said arrogantly, "We don't eat cheap things. If we want to eat, we eat expensive things."

Wei Fu asked weakly, "How much is considered expensive?"

But don’t make the little brother bankrupt with just one meal. If that happens, let her curse!

The old woman thought about the amount of snacks Wei Fu and his friends had spent, and felt that they would have to spend at least several thousand yuan a meal to be considered a bargain. But then she looked at Wei Fu's tattered cloth bag and asked, "Where's the bag I bought you?"

She was very disgusted with this tattered bag. It was just the rural standard of the 1980s!

Wei Fu said, "I left it at home."

The old woman automatically understood that he was reluctant to use it for the sake of health.

Yes, after getting a new thing, no one is willing to use it immediately.

The old woman didn't know whether Wei Fu and the others were rich or poor, so she added another question: "Which neighborhood do you live in?"

You can also judge based on where you live.

"Shallow Water Peninsula, but that's not our home. We rent the place we live in now."

She knew about Repulse Peninsula, which was a high-end apartment. What a spendthrift. If she had that much money to rent a house, she could have bought a house in a worse location.

Seeing that they had been talking for a long time but still hadn't decided what to eat, the little boy shouted, "I want fried chicken, I want French fries, I want a hamburger, and I want a Coke."

"Grandma, sister, let's go eat fried chicken, okay? There's one right in the mall up ahead."

The old woman immediately covered her grandson's mouth and said, "Those are all junk food you mentioned. No respectable family would treat you to such food!"

The most important thing is that their family can afford to eat those things. When they can take advantage of others by standing on the moral high ground, they must eat things that they cannot normally eat or are reluctant to eat!

The old woman's thoughts were too obvious. The Queen Mother asked Long Yin, "Yin'er, are there any restaurants around here that are relatively expensive and have good food?"

When the old woman heard the Queen Mother say this, she felt that the Queen Mother was very sensible, but at the same time she felt a little jealous, thinking that the Queen Mother was just trying to save face. However, she still said politely, "Well, you don't have to spend too much money. Just go to a place that costs thousands of yuan a meal."

Wei Fu, who had no idea what a few thousand dollars meant: “???” It turned out that she could be sent away with just a few thousand dollars. This old woman was too easy to talk to!

The Queen Mother, who also had no idea what a few thousand dollars meant, said: Although this old woman's words were unpleasant to the ear, she was a good person, not greedy, and polite. She brought them a return gift of snacks for the ones she sent them yesterday.

Seeing the Queen Mother and Wei Fu's strange expressions, the old woman immediately added, "We're not trying to blackmail you. You were the ones who asked to treat us. The main reason is that my family usually has very good food, and we're worried that eating from those roadside stalls might give you diarrhea."

She was worried that Wei Fu and the others would think it was too expensive and refuse it.

She also knew that she was asking for too much, but they were just one person, and there were only two people in her family. Even if they spent several thousand on a meal, it would still be the people in her family who ate more!

Ying Jiudao said, "There's a Chinese restaurant in the mall up ahead. I saw some good reviews online, and they have the pork elbows that Fuer loves."

When the old woman heard about the Chinese restaurant, she immediately said unhappily, "Why don't we go to the Western restaurant?"

Places like Chinese restaurants are rustic.

Her little grandson also started shouting, "I want to eat lobster and seafood."

Long Yin's patience ran out, and he threw a thousand yuan to them: "Go buy whatever you want to eat!"

"Let's go first." He pulled Wei Fu and was about to leave.

The old woman refused to accept this and chased after the queen mother, pressing the money into her hand: "I'm not a beggar, why would I take your money?"

"Just eat Chinese food, why are you so childish? Say..."

Her subsequent complaints came to an abrupt halt because Long Yin gave her a cold look, which scared the old woman so much that she dared not say anything more.

Long Yin's glance made him feel as if he was frozen.

She never knew that a person's eyes could be so scary.

She was so scared that she didn't even dare to follow Wei Fu and the others.

Wei Fu saw that they didn't catch up and waved at them: "Why don't you leave?"

"As long as you behave yourself and don't nag me, my little brother won't be angry."

The old woman wanted to leave, but she was worried that Long Yin would think she was making trouble, so she immediately followed him.

It wasn't far from here to the mall, the same one they'd shopped at that day. The old woman saw Wei Fu and Long Yin order a ton of food, and after they'd finished ordering, they handed the menus to the two of them. When she saw the prices, she realized she'd been too stingy with them.

These dishes are not cheap.

Wei Fu and his friends had already ordered almost all the dishes on the menu. She only ordered a shrimp for her grandson and didn't order anything else.

Thinking that Wei Fu and the others ordered so much, there would definitely be a lot that they couldn’t finish, and she could pack some good food to take back later.

So she said to her grandson with a smile: "Chenchen, tell your sister and the others what's going on with your little classmate."

The person Chenchen disliked the most was Ying Liu. He immediately vented his anger by saying, "You don't know, Ying Liu is really good at cursing people. He even curses people's parents. Every student in our class has been cursed by him, and many boys and girls have even fought with him."

"He had even secretly stuck a razor blade under his desk. When our Chinese teacher walked past his desk, her skirt was torn."

"He also likes to steal things. Last time, he stole my Ultraman and then stepped on it and broke it, saying I was a childish kid and a piece of trash."

"He also likes to pull girls' hair, so now the girls in the class stay away from him when they see him."

"Last time in nature class, the teacher took us to learn about small animals, and he strangled a chick to death."

"When the teacher criticized him for that, he called the teacher a hypocrite and was happier than anyone else when eating chicken."
