Chapter 39 The Chicken Leg Incident
Chen Yuan snorted coldly.
What Lin Wei said was indeed true; his parents-in-law had not offended him, but that was all.
Lin Wei has a younger brother named Lin Hao.
The old couple favored sons over daughters, giving all their money and good things to Lin Hao, while Lin Wei received nothing.
That's about it for Chen Youyou.
It's just average, nothing particularly good either.
Chen Yuan really wanted to refuse.
However, considering that Lin Wei would have visitation rights for her children during the divorce proceedings.
Chen Yuan thought for a moment and then said.
"Okay, you can pick them up in the morning, and bring them back to me after lunch. They can't stay overnight, and you have to report to me every half hour and send me a picture of the child."
"Is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up."
Lin Wei's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Chen Yuan."
"Since you're so worried, why don't you come back with us?"
Chen Yuan said impatiently, "Go back with you? What for? To act together?"
"What do you mean by acting? It's just having a meal with the old couple."
"I'm not interested. I didn't graduate from a performing arts program."
"How could you be so heartless?!"
"You should have thought of this day when you stole money from your family to start your business."
"you--!"
Chen Yuan's words successfully enraged Lin Wei.
She had been pretending to be humble and submissive, but in reality, she was extremely resentful. Chen Yuan's merciless attack made her so angry that she started to speak recklessly.
"Chen Yuan! I'm telling you, you'll regret this later!"
"Business has been booming at our store these past few days. Let me tell you, my monthly turnover will soon exceed ten thousand! To be honest, I—"
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yuan hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yuan didn't fall asleep immediately, but instead considered the issue of visitation rights.
"We need to find a way to completely deprive Lin Wei of her right to visitation."
"Otherwise, she'll definitely keep bothering me to death."
Chen Yuan fell asleep while thinking about it.
night.
After bringing Chen Youyou back, Chen Yuan tentatively said...
"Youyou, Mommy wants to take you to your grandparents' house this weekend. Do you want to go?"
Chen Youyou was watching cartoons and said without blinking.
"I don't want to go."
Why?
"Because Grandma is biased."
"Huh? How is this showing favoritism?"
Only after Chen Yuan repeatedly pressed her for answers did Chen Youyou finally turn her attention away from the cartoon.
"Grandma took a chicken leg out of the cupboard and gave it to Lele to eat."
"When did this happen?"
"Hmm... I don't remember."
Chen Yuan knew nothing about this.
He thought about it carefully, and it must have been before the divorce.
That time he worked overtime, Lin Wei brought their daughter home.
Chen Yuan patiently continued to press for answers, and from Chen Youyou's disjointed narration, he gradually pieced together the truth.
The old lady has always favored sons over daughters. Her beloved son, Lin Hao, gave her a grandson, which made her even more biased towards him.
Based on Chen Youyou's account, he deduced that the old lady must have secretly given Lin Lele extra food when no one was around or when she had sent Chen Youyou away.
As it happened, Chen Youyou saw it.
After figuring out the truth, Chen Yuan was even more furious.
At this moment, Chen Youyou raised her head.
Although she is young, she is old enough to be observant and perceptive.
She sensed that the opera troupe seemed a bit angry, so she suddenly spoke up.
"Dad, it's okay if Youyou doesn't eat the chicken leg."
Chen Yuan wasn't initially that angry, but after hearing his daughter's sensible words, his anger suddenly surged from his heart to the top of his head.
He tried hard to suppress his temper and said with a smile.
"It's okay. Does Youyou like chicken drumsticks?"
I like it~
"How about Dad buys you lots of chicken drumsticks tomorrow? So you can eat your fill."
Upon hearing this, Chen Youyou's eyes lit up with joy. She stood up from the sofa and threw herself into Chen Yuan's arms, saying in her childish voice.
"Thank you, Dad! I want to eat with you!"
"it is good."
the next day.
When Chen Yuan drove his van to buy supplies in the morning, he bought a large bag of fresh chicken legs.
There are 10 in total.
Whether you grill it, fry it, or boil it, it's all good.
He secretly vowed in his heart that he would never let his daughter suffer such injustice again!
Su Qingxue also came over early in the morning to help.
After learning the whole story of the "chicken leg incident".
Su Qingxue was also a little angry, but at the same time she felt even more affection for Chen Youyou.
She unconsciously put herself in the role of the stepmother.
After frying the dough sticks, Chen Yuan handed one to Su Qingxue.
"Eat up, it's freshly fried, it'll definitely taste better than yesterday's, just be careful it's hot."
Su Qingxue immediately snapped out of her emotions.
She accepted the fried dough stick with a smile.
With a "click".
Another busy morning is about to begin.
Chen Yuan's business is getting better every day.
The daily sales of steamed buns are stable at around 1200.
The best-selling item is still the classic pork bun.
We sold about 300 fried dough sticks on the first day.
Add 200 cups of beauty-enhancing soy milk.
In just about a week, the daily net profit can reach around 1800.
If Chen Yuan were more unscrupulous and used cheaper ingredients, he would have made even more money.
Chen Yuan had always known that selling breakfast was profitable.
But I never expected to make so much money.
Although the job was tough, it was nothing to him, who could recover from fatigue instantly thanks to the system's support.
But Lin Wei's situation was different.
From the moment the store opens in the morning until night, very few people come in.
Only on Saturdays and Sundays.
Because other chain milk tea shops are too crowded, some young people who don't want to wait will come to her shop to buy milk tea.
Looking at the deserted shop, Lin Wei became a little anxious.
She looked at her best friend, Wang Lili, who was standing next to her.
"Lily, what should I do? There were a lot of people when we first opened, but there haven't been many people these past few days. I'm starting to panic."
Wang Lili took a sip of the herbal milk tea made in the shop and said slowly.
"Don't worry, you've just opened and your reputation isn't that great yet, so it's normal that people don't know about you. I've invited Zhou Qing and Xueyan and a few others. When they arrive, we'll discuss things together."
At this point, Wang Lili clicked her tongue and said meaningfully.
"Your milk tea tastes pretty good, but..."
"Oh well, never mind, I'd better not say anything."
Lin Wei was so aroused by her feigned indifference that she couldn't resist asking eagerly.
"Oh dear, what happened? Tell me quickly!"
