Chapter 188 Meeting Li’s Family
Old Man Zhang and Mrs. Wang were indeed a little tired, so they found an inn and rested for a while. In the evening, Zhang Hulan asked the guests to go to the restaurant for dinner.
After dinner, Zhang Hulan took the whole family shopping to help digest the food.
Xiang Chunhua asked, "Sister, isn't Dahua going to get married in a house in the capital? Then why don't you go to the capital to buy your dowry?"
Zhang Hulan asked, "Do you think things are cheaper in small places or in big cities?"
Xiang Chunhua understood immediately, "That must be because things in big cities are more expensive."
Zhang Hulan said, "That's right, the rent of shops in Beijing is definitely higher, and the labor costs are also higher, so the price of the same things should be higher.
Let's buy the things here and take them with us when we go there.
We can buy good things and what we like, but we cannot waste money.
Why should I spend eleven cents to buy something I can buy with ten cents? Don’t you think that’s the truth?”
Zhang Hulanhua doesn't care about spending money at all. She spends the money she earns.
She is willing to spend any amount of money as long as it makes herself and her family happy.
But she has a habit of spending money, which is not to spend money in vain, and what she saves is what she earns.
Many shops are closed at night, only inns, restaurants and some shops in red-light districts are open.
The streets are basically full of stalls selling small toys, which are suitable for children to play with.
There were many vendors selling snacks, and even though they had just had a meal, the kids were still hungry.
As long as they wanted to buy something, Zhang Hulan would buy it for them.
Zhang Hulan and her friends were strolling around when they saw a waiter from a restaurant in front of them trying to get customers in to eat.
When Zhang Hulan and the others arrived at the restaurant, the young waiter greeted them warmly, "Dear guests, would you like to eat? Our dishes are delicious, generous in portion, and reasonably priced. Would you like to come in and try some?"
"We've had dinner." Zhang Hulan said casually and prepared to move on.
Li suddenly stopped and looked at the young man in front of them, and subconsciously asked, "Erwang?"
Li Erwang was stunned for a moment, then after carefully sizing up Li, he asked in surprise, "Aunt?"
Zhang Hulan looked back in surprise.
Li Erwang then looked at the large group of people around Li and asked, "Auntie, why are you all here in the city?"
Just as Li was about to speak, a woman's voice came from inside the restaurant, scolding, "Erwang, why are you standing there? Hurry and bring the customer in."
Li Erwang did not invite Li into the restaurant, but simply called out to the restaurant, "Mom, it's my aunt..."
Song scolded, "What little aunt? Hurry up and get some customers to eat in the restaurant, don't be lazy outside."
Li Erwang immediately ran into the restaurant and said to Li: "Mom, those are my aunt and her family outside."
Song still didn't react, "What little aunt?"
"Mom, it's the aunt from my hometown, Dad's sister."
Only then did Song remember that she had a younger sister-in-law.
They moved to the provincial capital for many years and almost forgot that they had such a relative.
Song walked outside and saw her sister-in-law.
She glanced at the group of people around Li, then smiled and said to Li, "Oh, it's my little sister, why are you here?"
Li replied, "I came to the city to do something."
"Dad, Mom, and Big Brother, are you all right?"
Song looked at the Zhang family again, her eyes somewhat uncertain. She found that Li and the Zhang family were not dressed as shabby as she thought. It was just that it was night time and they were outside, so she couldn't see clearly what kind of fabrics the Zhang family members were wearing.
Song's face turned sad. "That's just how it is. It's not easy to make a living in the city. I can barely make a living."
At this time, a few more people came out of the restaurant.
It was Li’s eldest brother and Li’s mother.
When Li's elder brother and mother saw Li, there was surprise in their eyes.
Li's mother called out in a trembling voice: "Yingzi..."
Li's eyes suddenly turned red, "Mother..."
Li's father also asked, "Girl, why are you here?"
Li didn't answer, but just asked, "Dad, Mom, how have you been these years?"
Mrs. Li nodded and said, "We are all doing well. How about you?"
Li said, "I'm fine too."
The eldest brother of the Li family said, "Yingzi, you all go in first..."
Before the eldest brother Li finished speaking, Song said, "Dad, you're all out now. Are you going to quit working in the restaurant? What if the food is served slowly and the customers are offended? Business is already bad right now. You don't plan to close this restaurant, right?"
Just as Li's mother was about to speak, Song immediately said, "Mom, the food in the kitchen is probably almost gone. You and Dad should go wash some more."
Li's parents and elder brother were being watched by Song. The three of them looked at Li with complicated eyes, and then all went back to work in the restaurant.
Song then said to Li, "Little sister, we are a little busy at the moment, so we won't invite you to sit inside.
There are also customers in the restaurant, and there are too many people, so as to avoid any complaints from the diners.
Where do you live? I'll come find you when I'm free."
Li did not answer, but just watched her parents leave.
Zhang Hulan said from the side, "We just arrived and haven't found a place to stay yet. We can't afford to stay in an inn, so I wonder if Sister Li has any room for us..."
“No, no…” Song quickly shook her head, “Our whole family is squeezed into what should be a very small room. I’m afraid there’s not enough space for so many people.”
Zhang Hulan sighed, "Oh... forget it, let's go look for a place to stay for the night."
Zhang Hulan took Li's hand and walked away, while Zhang Dahua held Li's other hand.
Song was still shouting from behind, "Little sister, if you find a place to live, remember to come and tell your sister-in-law..."
Song watched Li and the others walk away, pouted, and walked back to the restaurant.
The eldest brother Li didn't look very happy.
Song said, "Why are you looking so sullen?"
The eldest brother of the Li family said, "Why don't you let Yingzi come to the store?"
Li's parents also looked at Song, feeling resentful.
Song said, "What if they come to the restaurant and want to eat? How much will it cost for so many people?
Besides, it's easier to invite the gods than to send them away. What if they come in and never leave? Are we supposed to keep them around forever?
Don't even think about staying here for three days, wouldn't you feel bad if you just stayed here and ate here for three days?"
The eldest brother of the Li family hesitated for a moment and said, "That shouldn't be the case, right? Yingzi isn't that kind of person."
"Yingzi, what about the rest of the Zhang family? Didn't you see there were more than ten or twenty people? How much food do you have for them?"
The eldest brother Li stopped talking.
Indeed, with so many people here, what would we do if they stayed for a few days?
Li's parents thought about it and agreed that there were too many people.
They just felt sorry in their hearts that they couldn't say a few more words to their daughter after finally seeing her...
