Yanyan went back to class, and Sun Wenhua immediately called his brother Sun Zehua.
Sun Zehua was looking at the company's financial statements. It was almost noon and his stomach began to ache again.
The several factories he currently has in his hands were all taken over from former state-owned factories.
When he took over, these factories were on the verge of bankruptcy and even owed workers large amounts of wages.
In the past year or two, he even treated the company as his home, spending day and night there.
Due to being so busy with work that he neglected sleep and often forgot to eat, he gradually developed a serious stomach problem.
When he realized that this was not working and started to eat properly, he actually developed mild anorexia.
I have no interest in many foods.
Just in the first half of this year, he stayed in the hospital for a while.
He kept this matter a secret from his family.
After all, if a disease that doctors can't cure is known to his parents, it will only cause more trouble.
And with his fucking personality, knowing he was in poor health, she still had to move in with him? And watch him eat every day?
And to be honest, he couldn't figure out what was going on with his appetite. He could afford delicious food, but after buying it, he couldn't eat it.
His appetite wasn't calculated based on the deliciousness of the food, and he really had no idea.
Now that his business is on track, his life has become miserable because of this incident.
Sun Zehua irritably threw down the financial report in his hand and rubbed his stomach. Every time this happened, he felt like life was meaningless.
Ring, ring, ring...the phone rang.
Sun Zehua quickly picked up the phone: "Hello..."
Sun Wenhua said happily, "Brother, are you in the office? I'm so lucky today. You're usually a busy man. I call you ten times and you're not there eight times."
"Aren't you busy today? Mom nags me every day at home. Brother, if you're not busy, why don't you stay home for a while and distract Mom?"
"I'm only in my twenties. You're so old and still not married. Why are you always pushing me to do something?"
"As the younger brother, how can I get married before my older brother?"
Sun Zehua… He shouldn’t have answered this call: “Shut up!”
Sun Wenhua...
"Brother, why am I so noisy? You know this isn't good. It's not just your singleness that's the problem. You don't even talk much. Are you going to walk away with the door closed?"
"You'll get sick if you keep going like this!"
Sun Zehua: "Shut up!"
Sun Wenhua...
"Brother, how can you tell me to shut up? I'm doing this for your own good. As your brother, shouldn't I care about you?"
Sun Zehua: "Stop! What's going on? If our mom invites me back for dinner, I'm really busy recently. Please help me explain."
He has had stomach problems recently and can't eat the food when he goes home. If his mother finds out, it will be trouble again.
Sun Wenhua said: "Not this time! This time it's something else."
"Is it the student from our school, Qin Yanyan? Last time, we went to her house to apologize."
Sun Zehua: "Braised spareribs?" This was the only time recently that he felt very satisfied with a meal.
Sun Wenhua...
"Brother, why do you only care about eating? That's so rude."
"Let me tell you, didn't you give that little girl a gift last time? It was that watch sample. Her mother knew that watch was very valuable and refused to take it no matter what."
"Today the little girl came to me and gave me a watch. But I think you never take back the things you give away. So I didn't want it."
Sun Zehua: "And then?"
Sun Wenhua replied, "And then I really missed Yanyan's mother's braised pork ribs. So I asked Yanyan to call you out and ask Yanyan to treat me to a meal."
Sun Zehua... How come his innocent brother suddenly had the ulterior motive to take advantage of him?
"In the end, Yanyan said that she would just invite the two of us to her house for dinner again."
"Brother, you can't scold me. Your watch is so valuable anyway, it's not too much for us to go and have a meal there, right? You know how good our mom is at cooking. The ribs are always black. One bite of her will make you go away..."
"besides,"
Sun Zehua: "Okay!"
Sun Wenhua scratched his ears: "Brother, what did you say? Did I hear it wrong?"
His brother is not a pushover. He's ready to be scolded. He's also ready to fail and have his mother take the blame.
Sun Zehua said impatiently: "I said it! If you have any problem with your ears, go see a doctor!"
Sun Wenhua immediately said happily: "Oh, I know! I will make an appointment with Yanyan right away. Brother, you must not break the appointment when the time comes."
Sun Zehua said, "This Saturday and Sunday, I'm free."
He really liked eating there, but he wanted to find out what attracted him there. Was it just the taste of the food?
But the chefs at state-owned and private restaurants cooked dishes that were every bit as good as that braised spareribs. He just couldn't eat it. It was truly bizarre.
If he could figure it out, maybe there would be hope of curing his anorexia.
With a click, Sun Zehua hung up the phone.
Sun Wenhua looked at his watch and waited until school was over to meet Yanyan for dinner.
…
Yanyan went home and told Qin Zhichu about this.
"Mom, I invited Uncle Sun and the others to dinner without your permission."
Qin Zhichu smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Our family is not so poor that we can't afford to treat anyone to a meal. You're doing the right thing. You should be more confident, kid. You're my only child, and you have half the say in the family affairs."
"After all, I've been working so hard just to make life better for us, mother and daughter. I won't let you down."
She knew that Yanyan grew up in a single-parent family, and even if she appeared cheerful on the surface, she was still unable to let go in her heart.
Sometimes things on the surface are just disguises, but the inner fragility cannot be cured.
She hoped Yanyan would be more open and bold, and minimize the influence of that scumbag father.
Yanyan smiled and said, "Mom, I know."
"Then, Mom, what should we cook to entertain Uncle Sun and the others this weekend?"
Qin Zhichu asked: "Do you like these two uncles very much?"
Yanyan nodded. "Teacher Sun is very kind, very patient, and has a strong sense of justice. And Uncle Sun, I like the generosity of the way he casually gave me a watch."
Qin Zhichu...I didn't expect my daughter likes to spend money like this!
"We're not short of money, are we?"
Yanyan said, "I don't like money, I like Uncle Sun's behavior. Mom, I always thought that this is what an ideal father should be like. He's very, very good to us mother and daughter. He gives us whatever he asks."
Qin Zhichu couldn't help but smile and shook his head. Girls her age were truly dreamy. They dreamed of the Monkey King coming to pick them up on a rainbow cloud.
"We made braised spareribs last time, so of course we have to try something different this time."
