"Have you eaten? If not, come in and eat something. Xu Zhiwei went fishing for a big bass today, and I made a big pot of grilled fish." After saying this, Lin Qingmei pulled He Xufeng inside.
The house was filled with the tempting aroma of fish. On the table was a pot of roasted fish, golden in color, sizzling with oil. Beside the pot were a plate of yuba, a plate of winter melon, and a basket of water spinach.
He Xufeng walked into the main room and frowned when he saw Xu Zhiwei eating hard. Why was he here?
"Xu Zhiwei, why are you here?"
"So it's Secretary He? I was just about to ask you, why did you show up at Linjiawan so late at night?" Xu Zhiwei continued to eat without even raising his head. Although he was not surprised to see He Xufeng at Lin Qingmei's house, he was not the kind of person who liked to ask questions. Moreover, the world was big, and eating was the most important thing. No one could affect his eating speed.
He Xufeng was speechless for a moment. He was not familiar with Xu Zhiwei. He only heard County Magistrate Wang say several times that his nephew was a gangster.
"Xu Zhiwei, don't just focus on eating. Go next door and call He Fenglan to come and eat with you." Lin Qingmei pulled Xu Zhiwei up from the dining table and asked him to call people. He Xufeng brought so many beef balls today, so it was only right that he treat his sister to a meal.
"Don't bother him, I'll go by myself!" He Xufeng stood up and was about to go out. He had just delivered half a pound of beef balls to his sister and left without even having time to talk to her.
"You sit down and take a rest for a while, and let Xu Zhiwei go." Lin Qingmei glared at Xu Zhiwei fiercely. Why is this man becoming more and more tactless?
"Is it not okay for me to go? Stop glaring at me. If you keep glaring at me, your eyeballs will fall out." Xu Zhiwei ran away quickly before Lin Qingmei got angry. He was worried that he would be beaten if he ran too late.
Watching Xu Zhiwei running away, He Xufeng felt puzzled. He would definitely talk to County Magistrate Wang when he got back, asking him to take good care of his nephew and stop him from going to other people's houses to eat for free.
"Find a place to sit down first. I'll get you bowls and cut the half winter melon in the kitchen." Lin Qingmei didn't know He Xufeng was coming today, so she didn't prepare much food.
I happen to have a tube of noodles at home, so if it’s not enough, I’ll have to eat noodles.
Not long after He Xufeng sat down, Xu Zhiwei came back with He Fenglan.
He Fenglan was very surprised to see her brother, "Brother, why haven't you left yet?"
"I came to see Qingmei for something, and it happened to be dinner time, so she asked me to stay for dinner." He Xufeng secretly glanced at Lin Qingmei. Now that their relationship was not confirmed, he did not dare to introduce her to his sister rashly.
"Oh, I see. You value love over friendship." He Fenglan saw the plate of beef balls on the table and understood everything. Her brother was definitely interested in Lin Qingmei. Otherwise, how could he give her so many beef balls, even several times more than what he gave to her, his sister.
"You're the only one who talks too much, so hurry up and eat!" He Xufeng perfectly embodied the meaning of a henpecked husband. He now wished he could shut his sister's mouth, for fear that she would say something wrong and make Lin Qingmei angry.
Lin Qingmei didn't care about the lawsuit between the two siblings. She was not a stingy person. He Fenglan was He Xufeng's biological sister, so it was not impossible to invite her to dinner.
The beef balls that He Xufeng brought today were quite delicious, worthy of the chef's craftsmanship, and everyone liked them very much. Especially Lin Zheng, he ate one in two bites, his mouth full of oil.
