Chapter 50 A Dilemma

Anyway, these merchants no longer dared to mess with Chai Jianguo. They felt that Chai Jianguo, despite being just a deliveryman from the countryside, was a formidable opponent.

But he's extraordinary.

They have connections not only in the human world but also in the underworld. They're not to be trifled with, not at all.

Why would these ancestors seek them out?
That was naturally thanks to the post Xu Qingling shared on WeChat Moments.

Old Li, who had been quietly watching, immediately shared the video in the underworld.

Nowadays, whatever it is about Xu Qingling is something that all the ghosts in the underworld are paying attention to.

Upon seeing the video, the ghosts were outraged and cursed the unscrupulous merchants. They then began searching for the ancestors of these people in the underworld.

And so, their ancestors who haven't been reincarnated yet have been dug up.

The ancestors who bore the wrath of the ghosts felt they were truly wronged. Whether they were alive or now dead in the underworld, they had always been law-abiding citizens. What a bunch of ghosts!

What a grievance!
But they dared not defy the ghosts, so they could only vent their anger on the unfilial descendants who made money through dishonest means.

But now, the only way for them in the underworld to contact the human world is through the Leave Department.

So these ancestors joined forces and found Xu Qingling, hoping to obtain the opportunity to receive a dream from her.

Their feather dusters couldn't contain themselves; they wanted to teach these unfilial descendants a lesson.

Xu Qingling: Of course I agree.

As a result, those unscrupulous merchants face being rectified by the authorities and cursed by netizens during the day, and being beaten by their ancestors with feather dusters while they sleep at night.

It's terrible, really terrible!

……

Compared to the misery of these people, Chai Jianguo was undoubtedly happy.

"Comrade Director, Comrade Sasha, look, these unscrupulous merchants have been dealt with and have all closed their shops. That's great!" Chai Jianguo was very satisfied with the outcome.

"Daddy's awesome!" Chai Tiantian clapped her little hands to encourage her daddy.

Chai Jianguo scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly.

"It's all thanks to the help of Director and Comrade Sasha."

Chai Jianguo was quite perceptive. Without Sasha's editing and Xu Qingling's help in finding him a job and forwarding the video, his power as a ghost would be negligible.

Especially the Director, her fate directly led to the people and ghosts of both the living and the dead punishing these unscrupulous merchants.

Director, you are truly amazing and wonderful.

Xu Qingling's emotions were not greatly affected by Chai Jianguo's gratitude.

For her, it was just a matter of casually forwarding a post on her WeChat Moments.

"Hey, Sweetie's dad, why don't you record some videos for good businesses?" Sasha asked, pointing to the comments under her account. "A lot of netizens are saying they hope you'll make a video like that."

Chai Jianguo hesitated for a moment, then asked Shasha and Xu Qingling for their opinions.

Xu Qingling: "I think it's okay." If she knew about this video when ordering takeout, she wouldn't have made those bad choices of stale and unhygienic takeout.

However, recently, thanks to her neighbor Fan's meals, she has been ordering takeout much less often.

Food delivery can never compare to the culinary masterpiece that Fan, the neighbor, makes.

After Sasha nodded, Chai Jianguo didn't hesitate any longer. However, this time Chai Jianguo went to record the video alone.

Chai Tiantian was left in the leave department. Whenever Sasha had free time, she would use her tablet to teach Tiantian to recognize words and count. Sometimes the two of them would watch cartoons together, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

Chai Jianguo felt quite at ease leaving Tiantian in the leave office.

……

At the Hao Wei Dao Cantonese restaurant, Lin Lin, sitting in his wheelchair, watched the unscrupulous businesses being shut down and couldn't help but cheer.

“Even if these people close down, we won’t get to make that money.” At this moment, Lin Lin’s younger brother, Lin Xun, leaned against the door and poured cold water on the idea.

"Brother, how about we use pre-cooked meals? That way we can..." save costs.

"No way." Lin Lin refused before Lin Xun could finish speaking. "From the very beginning of opening this shop, I said that our kitchen must be clean, the food must be fresh, and we must never use pre-made dishes. Who knows how long those pre-made dishes have been sitting there, or what's in them?"

"We are running a Cantonese restaurant, and we must carry on my father's culinary skills. We also cannot let down our old customers."

Lin Xun's emotions also rose. "But this way, we can't lower our costs at all, and we can't lower our prices either. Nowadays, consumers are almost all looking for low prices. Let alone ordering takeout, look at our dine-in service, does anyone come?"

It's supposed to be a restaurant, but now it's completely empty; people are so bored they could swat flies.

Chai Jianguo sneaked into the Hao Wei Dao Cantonese restaurant and immediately overheard the brothers arguing.

"We're almost at the point where we can't even afford Mom's medical bills anymore," Lin Xun growled. Their mother suffers from uremia and needs dialysis from time to time; the best outcome, of course, is a kidney transplant.

In other words, there are no suitable kidney donors available right now, and even if there were, they wouldn't be able to afford it.

Lin Xun's eyes reddened as he spoke.

Lin Lin's hands, resting on the wheelchair, clenched slightly, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

He was silent for a while, but then he said, "We can't use pre-cooked food. I'll figure out how to pay for Mom's medical expenses."

At this point, Lin Xun completely lost his temper. "Think of a way? What way do you have? Why are you so stubborn? Everyone else can make pre-cooked meals, so why can't we?"

"Anyway, once I finish this week, I'm not going to do it anymore. I'd rather go find a job and earn money than stick to this crappy shop and your stupid principles!"

After saying that, Lin Xun left without looking back.

Lin Lin was the only one left in the shop, and it was very quiet.

Lin Lin looked down at his legs, and suddenly, a warm liquid dripped onto his pants...

Two years ago, Lin Lin had a happy and fulfilling family. Unfortunately, he was in a car accident, and both of his legs were amputated, leaving him disabled. Even his father, who was riding in the car with him, was gone.

Lin Lin's wife decisively divorced him, gave him their two daughters who were still in elementary school, and then resolutely married someone else.

Unable to continue working due to his disability, Lin Lin inherited his father's Cantonese restaurant after handling his father's funeral arrangements with his younger brother.

Lin Lin's father is a good cook, especially good at Cantonese cuisine. Lin Lin inherited his father's culinary skills and is also quite talented.

However, due to the pandemic and economic downturn in the past two years, countless catering businesses went out of business, and the industry has only just begun to recover this year.

Although they have opened a food delivery platform, their prices have not been able to be lowered due to cost reasons. As a result, apart from the occasional attention from old customers, they don't have many new customers.

A year ago, their mother was diagnosed with uremia and had to be hospitalized almost every month, which cost a lot of money.

Even if the family had some savings before, they're all gone now.
