Siheyuan: I stand for Xu Damao because he is my brother

Unexpectedly, Liu Haizhong, who was so difficult to deal with, was at a loss again, and could only turn to his three sons for help. Liu Guangqi said all the nice things he could to them, but it was of no use.

When it was time for Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to stand up and take tough measures, they did nothing but put in the work.

What a joke! They were the ones who planned this whole thing. Isn't it wishful thinking to expect them to help?

As for Yan Bugui's family, it is actually simpler.

As soon as Liu Haizhong came to ask for the person, Yan Bugui told them where Yan Jiekuang lived without saying a word.

"Aren't you looking for my third son? Go ahead. He has stopped associating with my family a long time ago."

There was no way he could find the talent. With the last glimmer of hope, Liu Haizhong went to Yan Jiekuang's residence to look for him, but as expected, he found nothing.

Liu Guangqi burst into tears: "Yueyue, my Liu Yue!"

Liu Hai was crying and felt upset. He yelled at him, "Stop crying. You are all useless. I can't count on you at all!"

Liu Guangtian was unhappy at the time: "Dad, I don't like it if you say that."

Liu Haizhong raised his hand to hit him, but Liu Guangtian dodged it easily. He said with disdain: "What are you doing? I've been on guard against you! Okay, only my eldest brother is a human being, but we two brothers are not! When he comes back, you can treat us like two dogs, come when you call us, and go when you wave us away; OK, we two brothers will not serve you anymore!"

After saying that, he and Liu Guangfu turned around and left, ignoring Liu Haizhong who was sobbing with anger.

"..."

After returning from the police station, Liu Guangqi discussed with his crying wife and said, "This incident was most likely instigated by the second and third sons."

Her daughter-in-law almost gnashed her teeth and said, "That's their niece. Are they still human?"

Liu Guangqi also gnashed his teeth and said, "Who else in this family is a human being?"

Her wife cried and said, "If we hadn't been desperate, we would never have come back. But now, our Yueyue has been captured by them..."

Liu Guangqi secretly swore in his heart: "They just want to drive me away and monopolize the family business. Fine, great! I'll go talk to them!"

Liu Guangtian was not surprised at all when he received the news that Liu Guangqi wanted to meet the two brothers. He discussed with Liu Guangfu: "Which place should we choose?"

Liu Guangfu smiled and said, "Of course, go to Shazhu! He is so eager to help others, right?"

Liu Guangtian smiled knowingly: "Then I'll leave this matter to you. If you can do it, we will be able to live a life of luxury and success from now on!"

Liu Guangfu rubbed his hands with longing on his face, his eyes showing a trace of eagerness and yearning, and said excitedly: "Then we will each marry a wife. Even a guy like Shazhu can marry a wife. We two brothers are much better than him. We will definitely find a better one!

By then, we can live a happy life with a loving wife and a warm bed, and have a hot meal every day when we go home, and we don’t have to watch others get married anymore.”

Liu Guangtian was very emotional: "Yes, even Shazhu has married."

"..."

Sha Zhu has been going out early and coming back late every day recently. As the old saying goes, working in a restaurant requires hard work, and you cannot succeed without being diligent.

In the past, Sha Zhu only had to cook for people in the kitchen and didn't have to worry about anything else.

It was not until I started my own business that I deeply realized the true meaning of Xu Damao's words: "Those who cook are called workers, and those who run restaurants are called businessmen."

Xu Damao said this to Sha Zhu when he personally handed 10 yuan to him.

Sha Zhu asked him: "Aren't they all cooks? What's the difference?"

Xu Damao couldn't help but get impatient with him: "You used to cook in the canteen, and you cooked for the leaders. The government provided you with the raw materials and condiments, so you dared to choose only the best part of the ingredients for a dish...

I saw with my own eyes your apprentice frying beef. He took it out of the pan a little late and the beef was overcooked, and you dared to pour it all out and fry it again!

Now that you are running your own business, which of these things do you not need to consider, labor, costs, rent, water and electricity, etc.? I tell you, you must change your mindset! Otherwise, you'd better stop doing this business as soon as possible, because the money you lose will be my money!"

The bigger the stall, the deeper Sha Zhu's understanding of this sentence.

When they ran a small restaurant in the past, it was just him, Ma Hua, and a waiter, and the three of them did business.

But that’s not possible now. There are more than 20 tables and private rooms. Shazhu would be exhausted. How many dishes can one person cook?

If you are short of manpower, you have to hire people, cooks, waiters, waitresses...

Every month, just paying these people’s salaries is enough to give Shazhu a headache!

As for clothing, restaurants like Jingye’s are becoming more and more popular.

The waiters' clothes are becoming more and more beautiful. Some big hotels even let the waitresses wear cheongsams and silk stockings to attract customers.

Even though Shazhu disdains their behavior, he has to follow them, otherwise he will fall behind.

"..."

This afternoon, as soon as Sha Zhu came into the restaurant, he was blocked by the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

Liu Guangfu came up and shouted, "Shazhu! Something terrible has happened!"

Sha Zhu shook his fist and said, "Listen, Sun Zei, if it weren't for the last sentence, I would have let you know how powerful I am right now."

Liu Guangtian observed his expression and slapped his brother on the head: "You are rude. You have to call me Mr. He from now on!"

Liu Guangfu immediately smiled and said, "That's right, it's my fault. I will apologize to Mr. He."

Sha Zhu didn't buy his trick and asked him, "What big bad thing did you just say?"

Liu Guangfu quickly changed his expression to one of anxiety and said, "It's really a big deal! My eldest brother is back, and he brought our little niece back with him. I don't know where those two bastards Bang Geng and Yan Jiefang found out, and they kidnapped our niece!"

Sha Zhu was shocked: "Are you serious? They are so bold, this is human trafficking!"

Liu Guangfu said: "They are stupid. In fact, they just took Liu Yue out to play and bought her soda and cake. They just wanted my eldest brother to say a few good words for them in front of my dad so that my dad would let some steel slip through his fingers and let them feel good."

Sha Zhu was skeptical: "They are really stupid."

Liu Guangfu said: "That's right. My eldest brother and my father went straight to the police station in a hurry. But today these two grandsons asked us brothers to meet and asked us to invite our eldest brother to come to you."

Liu Guangtian echoed, "I really don't know what they are thinking."

Shazhu was not stupid at all. He understood as soon as he heard it that this was another trap set by Liu Guangfu, a bad guy, for Banggeng and Yan Jiekuang.
