This matter finally came to an end because of Yang Jianguo's slap, but everyone knew that this matter was not over yet.
Zhao Xuemei went back to her mother's house crying, but the anger in her heart became more and more intense. Yang Jianguo didn't know whether it was because of that incident or something, so he didn't go to Zhao's house to pick her up, no matter how angry she was at Zhao's house, Yang Jianguo didn't care how much he tossed about, but it was because of this that Zhao Xuemei was even angrier.
The two of them fought for the first time in their lives. Let alone beating her before, Yang Jianguo would not dare to say a few words to her loudly, so Zhao Xuemei recorded all of this in Lao Yangtou and Lin Shuyi On their heads, if it weren't for them, where would these things come from.
Later, it was Yang Xiao who took Zhao Xuemei back regardless of Yang Jianguo's objection, but Yang Jianguo just ignored her all day long after he got back, presumably he made up his mind to let her hang out for a while, and before, Zhao Xuemei had never been subjected to such a thing Because of the treatment, he was so angry that he threw pots and bowls all day long, and the house was full of smog, making it look bad.
Let's talk about Xiqin Restaurant, which is completely opposite.
Old Yangtou doesn't even take care of the restaurant anymore, and leaves it to Lin Shuyi to take care of it, and he is going to pass the restaurant to him, while he fights with Grandma Xiaowan every day, and with Old Uncle Chen. Playing chess, life is much more relaxed than usual.
So until one day, Old Yang simply called everyone together and announced this matter that he had been thinking about for a long time.
"From now on, this Xiqin restaurant will be careless."
Except for Shen Fu and Grandma Xiaowan who didn't seem to be surprised, the rest of the people were a little stunned, including Lin Shuyi.
"Grandpa, what are you talking about?"
Lao Yang waved his hand, signaling Lin Shuyi not to speak yet, and listen to him.
"My whole life's painstaking effort, in fact, is only this Xiqin restaurant. I don't have much promise in this life, so I just guarded this restaurant for half my life. I originally thought that when I was old, I would pass this restaurant to my son. Pass it on to grandson..." Lao Yang paused, then smiled and said, "Unfortunately, without that blessing, even my son and grandson will look down on this restaurant and don't want it. But this is my painstaking effort, even if it is not worth a few dollars , I am also reluctant to just explain it like this, it is better to pass it on to Xiaoyi, after I die, it will always be a thought."
These words are a bit sad, everyone knows that Old Yang must have thought of his son and grandson who were not up to date and filial.
Old Yangtou stopped talking, and Grandma Xiaowan walked up and patted him on the shoulder, "Old Yangtou, don't think so much, isn't there still us and these two children? These two children , we can see that even though he is not your own grandson, he treats you as if he is your own grandson, so it is good to pass it on to him, lest we still get angry if we pass it on to that Zhao Xuemei."
Only then did everyone nod their heads, saying that what Grandma Xiaowan said made sense.
Lin Shuyi kept pursing his lips, did not speak, and said after a while, "Grandpa, I don't want this restaurant."
Everyone was surprised except Shen Fu.
"Silly boy, Old Yang has already told you, why don't you want it?"
Lin Shuyi squinted his eyes and said, "A gentleman can do something and not do something. Helping grandpa take care of these things is what I want to do, and it's also what I am willing to do. If grandpa gives me money, then we will each get what we need. I never Grandpa took what I should have, and the rest is what I shouldn’t have, and I don’t want what I shouldn’t.”
Lin Shuyi spoke earnestly, but people who listened to him thought he was just kidding. He smiled, and Lao Yangtou also said, "There are quite a lot of truths, and it made me dizzy, but ah, I only know one thing. One thing, if you don't want this restaurant, I will sell it, and there will be no Xiqin restaurant in the future." Speaking of this, Old Yang's expression became a little gloomy, "Xiaoyi, are you really Do you want to?"
"Why does Grandpa have to sell Xiqin Restaurant?"
Old Yang smiled, "Silly boy, grandpa is old and can't do it any more. Take a step back and say, even if I can do it, what if I die? This house will belong to someone else after all."
After Lin Shuyi comprehended the meaning, he was stunned.
He shouldn't want Lao Yangtou's restaurant, but if Xiqin Restaurant is gone, where will he go in the future
The world is so big, but he can't find another Xiqin restaurant as his shelter.
Shen Fu smiled and leaned into Lin Shuyi's ear, "Otherwise, anyway, grandpa's restaurant will be sold if you don't want grandpa, why don't you buy it yourself?"
Lin Shuyi tilted his head, "Buy it?"
"That's right, after buying it, won't Xiqin Restaurant be called Xiqin Restaurant forever?"
Lin Shuyi's eyes lit up.
"That's right, Grandpa, let me buy this restaurant."
Old Yang was taken aback when he heard it, and then everyone laughed together, "Okay, okay, if you say buy it, then buy it."
Anyway, as long as Xiqin Restaurant is still here, as long as it is still open, what is the difference between buying and accepting? As long as Lin Shuyi agrees.
Things were settled hastily like this.
But old Yangtou is serious and not hasty at all. He found out the real estate certificate of the house he bought back then, and then brought Lin Shuyi and Shen Fu to the Housing Management Bureau to change the name of the real estate certificate into Lin Shuyi.
But it wasn't until he got out of the Housing Management Bureau that Lin Shuyi realized that he didn't pay a penny for the house purchase, and his little deposit was not enough at all.
Old Yang smiled and said, "It's okay. You can give me this money anytime. In fact, it's totally fine if you don't. Grandpa doesn't need anything. Grandpa only has one request, which is this Xiqin restaurant. Grandpa hopes you Keep it on, and wait until the day you really don't want to turn it off."
Lin Shuyi nodded but said, "No, but I must give you the money for the house."
Shen Fu was a foil all the way, until this time he came up again, "I have money, I will lend it to you first, what do you want?"
Lin Shuyi glared at him.
Shen Fu raised the corner of his mouth, "Don't believe me, anyway, you should think about whether you owe grandpa or me. If grandpa owes you for a long time, grandpa may not want it. As for mine...don't even think about it."
In the end, Lin Shuyi still didn't borrow it, because Old Yang said that he would make an IOU, so he might not pay it back when the time comes.
In this way, Xiqin Restaurant became Lin Shuyi's, but on the surface, it is no different from the original one. Lao Yangtou still often wanders in the restaurant to help, and from time to time he shows his hands to cook some good dishes for Lin Shu. Lin Shuyi also learned a lot from them trying it out, plus what Song Yan taught, now he can form his own school and create some new dishes.
When the days were on the right track, the time passed very quickly, and the summer was coming to an end in a blink of an eye, during which time Yang Jianguo's family never came again.
Yang Jianguo didn't dare to go, Zhao Xuemei didn't think of a way not to go, and Yang Xiao didn't have time to go at all.
Since the cold war between Yang Jianguo and Zhao Xuemei started, the two of them didn't care about him much. Zhao Xuemei didn't ask him much except for giving him money in case he would starve and get cold. Got it, Yang Xiao used to be annoyed at home, but now the house is always smoky and cold, it is even more annoying, and he doesn't go home very much, he hangs around outside all day long, Yang Jianguo is angry, but no one can see him all day long. What to do with him, occasionally asked a few words and was pushed back by Zhao Xuemei with sneering words, and then never asked again.
Yang Xiao is happy to be at leisure, let alone stay at home.
Taking the money Zhao Xuemei gave him, he wandered around the poker room day after day, not knowing what time it is.
"Quick, quick! Give money, give money!"
"Lost again, fuck!"
Yang Xiao pushed the cards in his hand, still cursing non-stop, his pocket was empty, so he could only ask the person next to him, "Lend me a few thousand more."
The man held a cigarette in his hand and put it in his mouth. He squinted his eyes and counted the money without even asking, "It's hard for me to settle the bill. I'll give you 20,000. You can see for yourself." Play."
After all, 20,000 is a lot, but Yang Xiao is addicted, he only took it after a little hesitation, "I will return it to you when I win."
The man breathed out a puff of smoke, and he still had that harmless expression, "It's okay, which one of us is with whom, you keep playing, I'll go out and blow some air."
He said he was going out to catch some wind, but he went outside, turned a corner and walked to the house on the right. Inside, the black brother who played cards with Yang Xiao last time was sitting there, holding a bowl of ramen, full of hair. Khan, when he heard him walk in, he asked without raising his head, "How is it?"
The man who had called brother Hei before was instantly cowardly, bent down and handed him a glass of water in a flattering way.
"Back to Brother Hei, it's almost time."
Only then did the tall and thick man raise his head, his face full of flesh looked full of menacing looks, as if he were two different people from the one who smiled kindly that day.
"When it's almost done, close the net. I don't know how much oil this kid can squeeze out."
"It's okay. I heard that his father is in a company. If there is not much oil and water, there will be no shortage. Brother Hei, don't worry."
"That's good. If you can't squeeze the oil out, just throw it into the river and feed the fish."
The man smiled, nodded and bowed, "Yes."
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if seeing a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
And the lamb was unaware.
"Lost again?!! Why did you memorize it so much today!!"
"Do you want more money?"
"Forget it, forget it, have you borrowed so much today?"
"You are so unlucky today. I don't believe it will be worse. If you are afraid, don't come. Anyway, you are the one who loses, not me."
"Then, give me another ten thousand?"
"Why is ten thousand enough, one hundred thousand! Don't be afraid, Xiao Zi, brother, I have plenty of money, so I don't believe in this evil, you can't turn over!!"
"One hundred thousand is one hundred thousand!"
The hunting shop has been too long, and it is finally time to close the net.
Yang Xiao's eyes were red from playing, but in the end he still lost all his money. In the end, almost everyone left, and the man next to him lowered his head, "You are really a bit too remorseful."
Yang Xiao nodded dully.
"Forget it, I won't ask you for a change because you lost everything, but when are you going to give it back to me?"
Yang Xiao was dumbfounded, "Repay, pay back the money?"
The man stared, "What? Do you want to admit it?"
Yang Xiao quickly waved his hand, "That's not what I mean, no, I just want to ask, how much money do I owe in total?"
It wasn't until this time that Yang Xiao felt that his legs were shaking a little.
"Not much, not much, this number." The man said and stretched out a finger.
"One, ten thousand?"
The man smiled, "You lost 10,000 just now, do you think it's possible?"
Yang Xiao's legs trembled even more, "Ten? One hundred thousand?"
The man continued to shake his head.
Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment, "Could it be one million?!!"
"1.18 million, brother, I am generous. I won't ask you for 180,000. When will you pay back the 1 million?"
"Aren't we two brothers?"
The man smiled, "Brothers still have to settle accounts clearly, so don't be so close at a time like this?"
Yang Xiao's eyes widened, knowing that he had been tricked.
"Are you kidding me?!"
"Snapped!!"
The man who had called him a brother for more than a month gave him a slap in the face, squinted his eyes, and showed a fierce look, "You are kidding me? Are you fucking kidding me? What? If you lose, you won't accept it? The money I lent you It's not money, is it?"
Yang Xiao was dizzy from this powerful slap, and suddenly became afraid, "I will pay it back! I will pay it back! You let me go back first, and I will find a way to pay you back!" No matter what, leave first. .
Who knew that the man could see right through his thoughts, "A million dollars is not a small amount of money, it's for you to think of a way, but before you leave, sign this first." The man shook out a piece of paper with black and white words written on it. The IOU was written, and Yang Xiaojin borrowed 1 million yuan and paid it off within ten days. Below, Party A and Party B were written in a decent manner.
Yang Xiao shrank back all of a sudden, signed this, and his life was over.
The man slapped him on the face with his backhand again, and immediately both sides of his face were swollen to the same height.
"Don't want to sign? OK, if you don't want to sign, leave two of his fingers here."
The two men held the knife, and they really pushed forward step by step. Before the knife touched his finger, Yang Xiao shouted like a pig, "I sign! I sign!"
He picked up a pen and wrote his name on it.
