Courtyard House: Inheriting the Restaurant, the Jia Family Wants to Get It for Free

In the evening, Cheng Shuhai, who had been busy all day, closed the restaurant and took his younger sister home.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I could hear Yan Bugui and his wife Yang Xiulian talking in the front yard.

"Hey, did you hear? This afternoon, Tan Zhaodi went to the hospital to take care of Yi Zhonghai!"

Yang Xiulian's voice was full of surprise.

Yan Bugui snorted: "I expected this. What can a woman do without Yi Zhonghai's help?"

"But I thought she would at least make a scene, after all, she suffered such a great injustice."

"So you just gave in like that?"

Yang Xiulian felt it was a bit of a pity.

We haven't had enough of the show yet!

"Make a scene? What does she have to make a scene with? After the divorce, she doesn't even have a place to live."

"The deaf old lady must have explained everything to her yesterday."

"They're not stupid; they're shrewd. They know what's more important and what's less important."

Yan Bugui then shared his opinion.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shuhai paused for a moment, somewhat surprised.

He thought that after Tan Zhaodi found out the truth, she would have a big fight with Yi Zhonghai and then get a divorce.

Unexpectedly, that old fox deaf lady managed to appease Tan Zhaodi with just a few words.

This old lady is really something.

However, this is for the best.

Tan Zhaodi didn't leave; she continued to make do with Yi Zhonghai, that "eunuch."

These two will see each other all the time from now on, and the thorn in their hearts will never be removed.

Yi Zhonghai faces his wife, who knows his biggest secret, every day, while Tan Zhaodi serves a man who has deceived her for half her life.

Just thinking about this kind of life is much more exciting than getting a divorce.

Cheng Shuhai smiled and, holding his sister's hand, walked happily back to the Central Courtyard.

The news that Tan Zhaodi went to the hospital to take care of Yi Zhonghai quickly spread throughout the hospital.

Those who had just returned from get off work were quite surprised when they found out.

While everyone was surprised, they quickly figured out the key to it.

"Ah, Tan Zhaodi is a pitiful person too."

"That's right! If it were me, I couldn't stand this kind of treatment. I would have divorced him long ago!"

"Divorce? You make it sound so easy. She's a woman, no job, no income. Where will she live? What will she eat after the divorce?"

"That's true... These days, it's not easy for women to live without men."

"So, she had no choice but to swallow her pride and accept it. But Yi Zhonghai's life is probably going to be tough from now on. Just imagine, if his wife knows about his biggest shameful secret, will he ever be able to hold his head up at home again?"

"Haha, this is going to be good!"

The neighbors in the courtyard were all talking about it, each with a "the more the merrier" mentality.

Cheng Shuhai simply smiled as he listened to these words.

He couldn't be bothered with Yi Zhonghai and Tan Zhaodi's messy affairs; all he could think about now was going back to his hometown.

He decided to set off the day after tomorrow.

I'll go to the restaurant again tomorrow to say hello to my regular customers and tell them that I'm going back to my hometown and will be closing for a few days.

By the way, let's also check how the fish in the space are doing.

If it's almost done, I'll cook Old Shi a boiled fish dish, and that will settle things once and for all.

……

The next day, Cheng Shuhai took his sister to the restaurant as usual.

He first went into the space and took a look.

The grass carp that were released into the lake the day before yesterday are all looking energetic and have grown a size larger than before. They are swimming happily in the clear lake water.

Cheng Shuhai nodded in satisfaction.

As expected of a blessed space, its growth rate is incredibly fast.

He used his mind to scoop up the biggest one, which he estimated to weigh five or six pounds.

Okay, let's arrange it for Elder Shi today.

The restaurant was open for business as usual in the morning.

Cheng Shuhai greeted the regular customers who came to eat, saying that he was going back to his hometown for a few days and the restaurant would be temporarily closed.

The guests understood, but were also reluctant to leave.

"Oh dear, Comrade Cheng is leaving? We're going to miss out on some good food these next few days."

"Yes, yes, after getting used to your cooking, it's almost unpalatable to eat anywhere else!"

"Boss Cheng, you'd better come back soon!"

Cheng Shuhai smiled and agreed to each one.

At noon, Director Li came to buy spicy chicken as usual.

Cheng Shuhai told him that they could make boiled fish today.

Upon hearing this, Director Li was so happy he almost jumped for joy, repeatedly saying "good!" and then hurriedly rushed back to the factory to report the news.

Not long after, Director Li accompanied Deputy Factory Director Yang and Old Shi to the restaurant.

Cheng Shuhai had already made preparations.

He took out the largest grass carp from the space, gutted it, and sliced ​​it into thin pieces.

Then, heat oil in a wok, add top-grade dried chilies and Sichuan peppercorns picked from the space, and release an amazing aroma.

Then slide the marinated fish fillets into the pot. The boiling red oil instantly cooks the fish fillets, locking in all their freshness.

Finally, a large bowl of steaming, bright red, and tempting boiled fish is served.

That domineering spicy and savory aroma instantly won over everyone present.

"It smells so good! It smells amazing!"

Old Shi took a deep breath, his eyes widening in disbelief.

He couldn't wait to pick up a piece of snow-white fish and put it in his mouth.

The fish melts in your mouth, tender and smooth, with five flavors—numbing, spicy, fresh, fragrant, and hot—exploding in your mouth, bringing an unparalleled taste sensation.

"Delicious! Delicious! I've never eaten such delicious fish in my life!"

As he ate, Old Shi mumbled his praises indistinctly.

He devoured most of the boiled fish by himself, eating only steamed buns, and even scooped up the bean sprouts and chili peppers at the bottom of the pot.

Seeing Mr. Shi's satisfied expression, Deputy Factory Director Yang and Director Li exchanged a glance and both smiled with delight.

nailed it!

With this amazing skill, how could we possibly lose Mr. Shi's heart?

After the meal, Deputy Factory Director Yang held Cheng Shuhai's hand, expressing his gratitude repeatedly, and left a considerable amount of money for the meal.

Cheng Shuhai didn't stand on ceremony; he knew he deserved it.

After seeing off Deputy Factory Director Yang and his entourage, Cheng Shuhai glanced at the sky and prepared to pack up and leave.

I'm going back to my hometown tomorrow, so I need to get back early to pack my things.

He returned to the courtyard house, packed a few changes of clothes, and prepared some snacks and candies to take back to the village.

Everything is ready, just waiting to depart tomorrow.

..........

The next morning.

Cheng Shuhai got up very early.

He dug his younger sister, Cheng Ling'er, out of bed and dressed her.

"Ling'er, are you happy to go back to your hometown with your older brother today?"

Cheng Ling'er rubbed her sleepy eyes, but immediately perked up when she heard that she was going back to her hometown.

"happy!"

The brother and sister ate a simple breakfast, locked the door, and set off.

After a long and winding journey, it was already noon when they arrived at the entrance of Chengjia Village.
