Chapter 15 Prodigal Son
Zhang Yuehong became angrier as she talked. After hearing what Tang Yanran said about what happened in the hospital, she wanted to kick Chen Wanli out immediately.
"Now can't we just ask Yanran's cousin to help us make peace?"
Chen Wanli frowned: "The matter has been solved, there is no need to ask my cousin for help!"
Zhang Yuehong sneered: "I didn't agree with Yanran marrying you at the beginning. It was Dapeng who said you had good character, but you just got sick unexpectedly. I didn't expect you to be such a good person after you recovered!"
"I didn't dare to protect Yanran in the hospital, but now I'm talking nonsense again!"
Tang Yanran lowered her head and said nothing. She was also extremely disappointed with Chen Wanli's performance in the hospital.
Chen Wanli choked and didn't bother to explain, so he went directly to the kitchen with the tea leaves: "Dad, this tea was given to me by someone else. It should be pretty good. You can keep it and drink it!"
"Hahaha, okay, you are interested!" Tang Dapeng was still smiling.
Zhang Yuehong said angrily at the door of the kitchen: "Who can give you something good? Who knows where I bought street stall goods to fool your father-in-law? You are so filial!"
"This is the best Dahongpao!"
As soon as Chen Wanli said this, Zhang Yuehong's eyes rolled up to the sky, with a face full of sarcasm: "It's good tea, good tea with boiled tea eggs!"
After saying that, she rushed into the kitchen, took a few eggs and threw them into the pot. She opened the tea leaves that Chen Wanli brought back and poured half a bag directly into it. She really started boiling tea eggs!
He even glanced at Chen Wanli provocatively before walking out of the kitchen with a bulging voice!
The corners of Chen Wanli's mouth twitched, and Tang Dapeng didn't believe it was the best tea, so he comforted Chen Wanli and said, "Forget it, your mother has this temper, don't pay attention to her, let her toss her around!"
"..."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Zhang Yuehong immediately put on a smile and ran to open the door.
"Haimin, Shuya, come in quickly, come in!"
Zhang Haimin is in his forties, a bit short, dark and muscular, and looks somewhat majestic in his police uniform.
His wife, He Shuya, is just an ordinary middle-aged woman, but she has some nostrils to look at people.
As soon as she entered the door, she sneered: "Third Sister, you treat us all the time. Why did you think of treating us to dinner today?"
"Come in quickly, let's talk after you enter the door!" Zhang Yuehong said with an apologetic smile.
As soon as Tang Yanran entered the door, she stood up and said hello.
Chen Wanli also stood up.
He Shuya looked at Chen Wanli a few times and asked Tang Yanran, "Is he still ill?"
"Okay!" Tang Yanran said.
He Shuya curled her lips and shook her head: "If you suffer from mental illness, you will have no future after you recover. What unit dares to use people with a history of mental illness!"
"From now on, just farm in your medicine garden honestly!"
After saying a few words, Zhang Yuehong's face turned red from suppressing it, and she would have had a seizure if she hadn't asked for help.
The anger could only be attributed to Chen Wanli. If it weren't for this unlucky son-in-law, how could she have suffered this anger?
Zhang Haimin laughed: "I'm going to see what delicious food my brother-in-law makes!"
Then he walked to the kitchen.
"Oh, the kitchen has not been cleaned up, so you are waiting in the living room to eat!" Zhang Yuehong said and hurried in.
Zhang Haimin entered the kitchen, his eyes accidentally glanced at the tea box on the window sill, and his eyelids twitched.
This tea box looks familiar. Last time I went to the Security Department for a meeting, my immediate superior, Director Shen, drank tea.
I heard that this tea costs hundreds of thousands per catty, and only people from families like Director Shen can afford to drink it.
"Brother-in-law, how is the business at Yaoyuanzi?" Zhang Haimin couldn't help but inquire.
"Same old! Hahaha, that's fine!" Tang Dapeng said casually.
When Zhang Yuehong saw Zhang Haimin looking at the tea box, she thought she had found a bargain and said with a smile: "The ration tea with boiled tea eggs made my brother laugh."
As he said that, he put away the tea box and took out another can: "This is Lao Tang's good tea. I'll make it for you!".
The corner of Zhang Haimin's mouth twitched: "Sister, hundreds of thousands of tea leaves to boil tea eggs, and three thousand and one kilograms for my brother to drink, you really have it!"
"Ah?" Zhang Yuehong's smile froze on her face: "Are you kidding me? Is this tea worth hundreds of thousands per catty?"
Seeing the playful smile on Zhang Haimin's face, she knew that he might have misunderstood, so she opened the rice cooker.
As soon as I opened the lid of the pot, the tangy aroma of tea immediately came out, and there were indeed seven or eight eggs in the pot.
"What a waste of natural resources!" Zhang Haimin's mouth twitched in distress.
Zhang Yuehong seemed to believe it now. For a moment, she was annoyed and ashamed. Oh my god, she took half a bag of hundreds of thousands of tea leaves and boiled the eggs... What kind of stupid thing was she doing!
Tang Dapeng was also shocked from ear to ear.
"Wan Li said it was a gift from a friend, but I thought it was just ordinary stuff..." Zhang Yue said with a dark face.
Zhang Haimin chuckled: "I may have admitted my mistake, but I happen to have no tea at home. Regular tea will do, I won't choose!!"
With that said, he grabbed the tea box and grabbed two more tea eggs before leaving the kitchen.
Zhang Yuehong was dumbfounded. That was Dahongpao worth hundreds of thousands per catty. She really wanted to come back.
Tang Dapeng frowned and lowered his voice: "Forget it, I just want to ask him to do something! Just take it as a thank you gift."
"It's all Chen Wanli's fault, and I can't explain clearly!" Zhang Yuehong complained.
"Wan Li said it, who told you not to believe it!"
"..."
Chen Wanli listened in the living room and thought it was funny, but he was too lazy to pay attention.
Soon the food was ready and the whole family sat down.
"Hai Min, come and let me respect you. Among our clan members, if you are doing well now, you will be the director at [-], and you will have to move up in the future!" Tang Dapeng picked up the wine glass.
"Our seafarers are now highly regarded by Director Shen of the Safety Department, and it is said that they will be promoted to a higher level after the new year." He Shuya's eyebrows were filled with pride.
"Congratulations to Gao Sheng! Have another drink!" Tang Dapeng said with a smile.
Zhang Haimin was a little flattered by the praise: "Hey, going to the Security Department is not as comfortable as me being the director. Even though I am the deputy, I am responsible for the general affairs!"
"Everyone in the neighborhood, big or small, must give me three points of thin noodles!"
Chen Wanli lowered his head and only focused on eating. Tang Yanran stepped on him and signaled him to toast his uncle.
Chen Wanli raised his head, was confused for a moment, then showed a look of surprise, picked up a chopstick full of sweet and sour fish and put it into Tang Yanran's bowl:
"Dad makes this delicious dish, try it!"
"Pfft!" The little movements of the two people caught He Shuya's eyes, and she immediately laughed out loud.
Tang Yanran's face turned red with shame. It was so embarrassing. Is Chen Wanli's illness cured or not? Isn't that stupid?
After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Haimin smelled of alcohol: "Brother-in-law, if you invite me to dinner, something must be wrong, right? Just tell me, I don't guarantee that I can handle it! But I will definitely handle it if I can!"
"You can definitely handle this. The day before yesterday, Yanran's uncle's birthday party was in debt. Han Feihu owed money, and they made trouble at the birthday party."
"In order to protect me, Wan Li got into a fight with the debt collector. This matter is so unpleasant now, and I want you to help make peace with it!"
Tang Dapeng made the matter clear in a few words.
Zhang Haimin burped and glanced at Chen Wanli: "Brother-in-law, I'm not telling you, my son-in-law needs to take good care of him. In this world, there are too many people we can't afford to offend!"
"Your family is just running a small business. If you get into some trouble, you will lose everything!"
"Besides, they are trying to collect debts from Han Feihu, so what is your son-in-law doing here?!"
"..."
Tang Dapeng felt unhappy, but he didn't have an attack. He smiled and said, "It was because of some strange combination of circumstances that I caught up with him. The person who acted that day seemed to be He Laosan, and there were a few minions!"
Hearing that he was just a gangster, Zhang Haimin breathed a sigh of relief: "This is a small matter. When those gangsters see me, it's like a mouse seeing a cat. But the money will definitely be spent. You prepare five hundred thousand, and I will settle it for you!"
"Five hundred thousand?" Tang Dapeng took a breath.
The Tang family has some wealth, but half a million is not a small amount.
"Brother-in-law, you can't do anything these days without spending some money." Zhang Haimin grinned, with a proud look on his face.
"I have a good relationship with my third sister, so that's why I charge you. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't care if they gave you money."
Zhang Haimin spoke eloquently, but he was sneering in his heart.
Who the hell are you if you want labor and management to work for you for free without any payment?
Your family has boiled tea eggs for hundreds of thousands of tea leaves, so what does it mean to buy Ping An for five hundred thousand?
Chen Wanli was full and wiped his mouth: "Cousin, my dad didn't make it clear just now. In fact, I beat Mr. Huang Wu's younger brother. Oh, I also beat Mr. Huang today. I can do it for [-] yuan. Cheap?!"
The whole family stared at Chen Wanli, where is this guy from? A prodigal can't do this, right?
