Chapter 548 Is money more important than family ties?
After receiving Li Yiyang's reply, Xu Chunsheng ordered some more vegetables and a portion of beef fried rice.
Then he handed the menu to Li Yiyang: "I'm fine, I don't know your taste, you order it yourself."
Li Yiyang looked at the menu, ordered a portion of Xiaohui's favorite meat, then ordered a bottle of white wine and two glasses of freshly squeezed juice, and handed the menu to the waiter.
After a while, the dishes came one after another. One food shelf couldn't fit, so I had to put two of them down.
Then the waiter was about to help them grill the meat. Li Yiyang smiled politely and said, "Sorry, we can do it ourselves!"
"Okay sir, please use it slowly!"
After the waiter finished speaking, he left.
Xu Chunsheng looked at the plates of barbecue that had been prepared and couldn't wait to put them on the oven to bake.
This barbecue restaurant is at least half more expensive than ordinary barbecue restaurants, but the ingredients are fresh, and their dipping sauces are all prepared with secret recipes, so they taste better.
Therefore, there are still quite a lot of people coming here to eat barbecue.
It was Zhang Lan's first time eating barbecue. She didn't expect the barbecue to be so delicious. She was a little embarrassed at first, so she just started eating it.
Completely ignoring the image, the two of them stuffed the food into their mouths before they finished eating, as if they were afraid that someone would snatch them away if they were late.
Even Xu Chunsheng, who initially asked Zhang Lan to pay attention to his eating habits, now forgot about what he said. What he was eating was a joy.
People eating barbecue nearby were shocked when they saw the two people eating like a starving ghost.
Wen Xiaohui was a little embarrassed, and she whispered: "Third aunt, third uncle, please eat slowly, don't be in a hurry, don't choke."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Lan finished listening, he stuffed several more pieces of meat into his mouth and replied vaguely: "It's okay, don't choke, this barbecue is so delicious!"
Wen Xiaohui looked at Li Yiyang with some embarrassment. She was a little embarrassed because her relatives looked so ugly.
Fortunately, Li Yiyang didn't mean to dislike it. For a country woman of Zhang Lan's age who was used to eating big meals, it was not easy for her to eat slowly and leisurely.
At this time, Zhang Lan noticed that the couple had been watching him eat, but they hadn't eaten a bite, so he quickly asked: "Why don't you eat?"
Li Yiyang and the others wanted to eat it, but the meat had just been roasted and before they had time to pick up their chopsticks, the meat had already entered their mouths.
However, looking at the way the two of them eat, it does affect the taste.
Then he smiled and said: "You eat first, we are not hungry yet!"
"Let me tell you, you are so proud of yourself that you have to rush to eat in order to have an appetite. If this were left in an era of famine, you would starve to death!"
Xu Chunsheng said.
Seeing that the two of them refused to eat, he didn't bother to persuade them, so he just started eating on his own.
Wen Xiaohui remembered that Third Aunt had come to see her for something, so she asked: "Third Aunt, didn't you say that you wanted to see me and Yiyang for something?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Lan immediately put down his chopsticks, pointed at Xu Chunsheng and said: "When I go back, I will tell your third uncle about your request. He said that he agreed not to gamble in the future. When will you lend me this money?"
"This can be fake. Since I said I won't gamble, I definitely won't gamble. You promised your third aunt not to cheat!"
Xu Chunsheng said immediately.
Li Yiyang did not believe what Xu Chunsheng said. This third uncle could be said to have truly explained what it means to be addicted to gambling. Asking him to stop gambling would be like killing him. How could he agree to this request?
Now, he suddenly said that he agreed not to gamble, and that could only be for one reason: to deceive them and get their money.
After all, my third uncle is not a gentleman.
Even Wen Xiaohui didn't believe it, but looking at her third uncle who swore so steadfastly, she couldn't say, "I don't believe you, so I can't lend you this money." This would mean she broke her promise.
"Xiaohui, are you really trying to trick your third aunt?"
Zhang Lan asked after Xiaohui hadn't spoken for a long time.
Wen Xiaohui smiled and said: "How could it be? I'm just a little surprised. I remember my third uncle said before that you can't quit gambling. Now he says he can quit..."
"I was talking nonsense at that time. Not to mention quit gambling, there were a lot of people quitting drugs.
I have also thought about it seriously, and your third aunt is right. I have been gambling for most of my life and have never contributed to my family. This strong man is about to start a family, and I have reached the age of having grandchildren.
But we can’t let go of playing with things like this anymore. Do you think you can give us the money soon?
We might as well go back and buy the house for Qiangzi to use for his wedding.
And I also heard from your third aunt that you are willing to invest in her business. Business is good and much better than working part-time. You might become a big boss and you will have a bright future."
"Third uncle, since Xiaohui said that I will lend you money as long as you quit gambling, I will naturally lend it to you.
It's just that these words are unfounded and Xiaohui and I can't guarantee whether you will really stop gambling after you go back.
So, to be on the safe side, I will find a lawyer and ask him to write a letter of commitment. If you sign it, we will lend you the money immediately."
"What, a letter of commitment?"
When Xu Chunsheng heard this, he was immediately stunned.
Then he reacted and put down his chopsticks in displeasure: "What do you mean, don't you believe what I said?"
"Third uncle, if you can do it, are you still afraid of signing the agreement?"
Li Yiyang's rhetorical question left Xu Chunsheng speechless.
He said angrily: "Li Yiyang, what is your attitude?
I said I don’t know how to gamble, so I definitely won’t gamble. What kind of commitment letter do you want me to sign? Are you so insulting?"
After saying that, he looked at Xiaohui again: "Xiaohui, after all, Li Yiyang is not from our Wen family. It is normal for him to trust me. What about you?
Zhang Lan is your third aunt, and I am your third uncle, don't you believe me too?"
Looking at her angry husband, Zhang Lan said sadly: "Xiaohui, we are a family, don't we have no sense of trust at all?
What's more, we are borrowing money, not asking you for money. Is money more important than family ties?"
"Third Aunt, why can't you carry it so clearly?
Xiaohui, isn't it just for you?
What good does gambling do to you?
Only if he completely quits gambling can your family get better."
Li Yiyang said.
This completely angered Xu Chunsheng: "We are also your elders after all. Do you talk to your elders like this?
Believe it or not, I’ll call your mother and see what they say about you.”
"It's useless for you to call anyone. We earned the money and we don't deserve to owe it to anyone.
If Third Uncle is unwilling to sign the commitment letter, then we will refuse to lend you the money."
Li Yiyang said expressionlessly, not afraid because of Xu Chunsheng's words.
Things are different now. Even if he calls his mother-in-law, her mother-in-law will only stand by him.
“Everyone, do you hear this is human talk?
We are their third aunt and uncle, and when we borrow money from them, we have to sign a letter of commitment.
