Chapter 149: Potato Chip Explosion
Chapter 149: Potato Chip Explosion
Lu Erbai had already learned the ins and outs of the situation. After the arrival of Da Hu and the others, who had returned ahead of him, they apologized to him and vividly embellished the events that occurred in the Zhang family.
Lu Erbai happily expressed his gratitude to Fan Zhong and the villagers and asked them to take a rest and have some water.
But the yard was not spacious to begin with, and it became even more crowded after the boxes and cabinets were brought in. Since there was no place for all of them to sit, Fan Zhong decided not to stay and told Lu Erbai to rest well. He understood that now that the matter with Da Ya had just been resolved, there would be a lot for their own family to discuss, so they didn't want to disturb them.
After saying that, Fan Zhong and his group left.
Shu Yu saw them off at the door and expressed her thanks sincerely, "Thank you, chief and uncles, for your help today. It was thanks to all of you that we were able to settle the matter with Da Ya and retrieve her dowry. You have worked hard. However, our family is currently dealing with many things, and we won't have time for a while. Once things calm down, we will definitely prepare a small gift and come to express our gratitude."
Fan Zhong chuckled, "You're quite polite, little girl. Alright, alright, we understand your intentions. Da Ya is a good girl from our village, so lending a helping hand is only natural, right? You can go back now; we'll leave first."
There was no need to decline the small gift that Shu Yu mentioned.
The others also waved their hands and went back home.
However, the matter of Da Ya's departure quickly spread throughout the two villages and began to have a wider impact, soon becoming a major news in Jiangyuan County.
After seeing off the chief and the villagers, Shu Yu closed the courtyard gate.
Lu Dasong and Lu Sanzhu stayed for a while and then went back as well, while Er Niu and Da Bao were still there.
The two of them were boasting in front of San Ya, which infuriated her as she had wanted to go with them but was left behind.
Shu Yu approached and held San Ya's hand, saying, "Come, let's go to the kitchen and make something delicious. Big sister has been freed from her troubles, so we should celebrate."
San Ya immediately became happy and ignored Er Niu and Da Bao, happily following Shu Yu towards the kitchen.
Little did they know, the two of them followed them upstairs. Da Bao swallowed hard and asked, "Ah Yu, what delicious food are you making? I want to eat too."
Shu Yu glanced at him sideways, and Da Bao immediately said, "I exerted a lot of effort today, you know. Da Hu is too weak. He was knocked down by Zhang Jin in an instant. Thanks to me, I'm fat, so I charged in and subdued Zhang Jin and Zhang Yin. Isn't my contribution the greatest?"
Shu Yu's eyelid twitched, "Alright, both of you made contributions. You can't be left out."
Da Bao was finally satisfied and didn't follow them to the kitchen.
Shu Yu looked at the ingredients in the house, realizing they were limited and couldn't make anything too complicated.
She thought for a moment and said to San Ya, "Let's make some fried potato chips as a snack, and we'll have dumplings and noodles for dinner." It seemed they would have to wait to have a feast until they bought more ingredients another day.
But even just dumplings and noodles were a delightful treat for San Ya.
She nodded repeatedly and immediately went to fetch a bowl to prepare.
When the potato chips were ready, Da Bao hadn't even come over yet, but surprisingly, Lu Sanzhu from the next door rushed over and was the first one to eat.
While eating, he praised, "Ah Yu, your cooking skills are really good. Last time with the popcorn and now with the potato chips, they're all rare and unique things here. Why don't you open a snack shop or a restaurant? Why did you open a clothing store?"
Especially since the clothes at the clothing store were expensive and didn't suit him, he couldn't take advantage of it.

ReplyDeleteSame, this story is really a cut above the rest. Made a one note character who you would normally despise into a character that’s fun to see every time he pops up.
ReplyDeleteTrue. Wonderful side characters. Rei
