Chapter 94 We Absolutely Cannot Give In
The waiter was taken aback. Was it the second daughter's grandmother? Her eldest uncle? And her eldest aunt?
That...
The waiter glanced at the group of people waiting, looking quite troubled.
There are still so many people waiting...
Moreover, the second young lady seemed to have said that everyone who comes has to queue up.
But are the second daughter's family members among everyone?
The waiter asked for help, searching for Xiao Si in the crowd...
Seeing his hesitation and refusal to serve them, Wang Yulan became so angry that she grabbed the waiter's arm and shouted, "You're going against me! Get us inside right now!"
The waiter was pinched painfully and kept backing away. "Grandma, it's not that I don't want you to come in, it's just that our manager said that everyone has to wait in line."
The customers in line nodded in agreement, “Yes, everyone has to queue.”
Obviously, everyone knows this rule.
"I am your head manager's grandmother!" Wang Yulan said coldly, hands on her hips.
Hearing the commotion, Xiao Si quickly crossed the lobby and rushed over.
The man told him what had happened.
Xiao Si also looked suspicious. He had never heard Madam Lu's family mention any of these grandmas, uncles, or aunts.
However, judging from how straight this old woman's back is, she must be right.
Even the second daughter's grandmother still had to abide by the rules set by the second daughter.
He forced a fawning smile and pulled Wang Yulan aside, saying, "Madam, since you are our manager's grandmother, you should support our manager's rules."
"Look, there aren't many people left in line. Please wait a bit, sir."
"While you have this time, you can think about what you want to eat when you go inside."
Perhaps it was Xiao Si's obsequious expression that satisfied Wang Yulan's vanity, because she really wasn't angry anymore.
She glanced at the people in line and reluctantly nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
"Is Madam Lu here too?" she asked again.
Xiao Si nodded. "Mrs. Lu is busy in the kitchen."
"Madam Lu..." Wang Yulan scoffed dismissively, "What kind of madam is she?"
"She's just a widow whose husband has died, and she calls herself a lady."
More like a scoundrel.
"Let her serve me, her mother-in-law!" Wang Yulan said, raising her chin high with an air of authority.
Xiao Si frowned in displeasure, wondering to himself, "What's wrong with this old woman?"
"Sixth Brother," Fourth Brother called back the shop assistant, "You stay with the old lady."
This actually implies that he should keep a close eye on this old woman.
"Madam, I'll go to the kitchen and tell Madam Lu."
Xiao Si turned and went to the kitchen.
Upon hearing that it was Wang Yulan, Lu Tao's hand trembled, and the shrimp dumpling was ruined.
Liu San Niang put down the shrimp dumplings in her hand, slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly, "That old hag, how dare she come to the teahouse to act tough!"
"Sister Lu, you stay here, I'll go."
Lu Tao hesitated, "Third Sister, this is the time when we have the most guests. If we cause a scene... I'm afraid we'll become a laughing stock."
"What's there to be afraid of?" Liu San Niang said with a fierce look. "Are you really going to let them in to eat? Are you really going to have them serve this shameless mother-in-law?"
Lu Tao was in a dilemma: "But if we make a scene, it will affect our business."
Liu San Niang was optimistic, saying, "So what if it's only a temporary impact? It's good to take a break."
"But what if we get entangled with this family..."
She clicked her tongue dramatically, "Sister Lu, that's incredible!"
“I dare say, if they go into the teahouse and have a meal today, their whole family will come tomorrow.”
"I might stay at the teahouse from now on."
"And then... this teahouse will probably all become theirs."
"That won't do!" Lu Tao protested upon hearing this. "The teahouse is Tian Tian's hard work; it can't become theirs."
Liu San Niang sighed, "Sister Lu, that's why you absolutely cannot give in!"
"If you give way one step, they'll take three! Five steps forward!"
"Sweetie was out busy. If she were here, she would have kicked him out long ago. Why would she be asking questions in the kitchen?"
Xiao Si nodded in agreement, "As Xiao Liu just said, that boss specifically asked the head manager where he went."
Liu San Niang sneered, "See? They're so arrogant because they know Tian Tian isn't here."
"If Tian Tian were here, I don't think they would even dare to go up the stairs at the entrance."
Liu San Niang's words were a bit of an exaggeration, but Lu Tao knew that if Tian Tian were there, the Tian family would definitely have some reservations.
"Sister Lu, don't worry about it, I'll go." Liu San Niang said, having already washed her hands clean and tidied her hair and clothes.
"Xiao Si, go to the kitchen over there and tell the eldest daughter, Jing He, and the children not to come out."
Xiao Si nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with admiration.
Liu San Niang strode out of the kitchen and into the front hall.
"Madam Liu," a familiar guest greeted her.
Liu San Niang nodded one by one, "Eat slowly."
She stood at the door, arms crossed, eyes higher than Wang Yulan's, and asked, "Who is it? Randomly claiming wives here?"
Wang Yulan looked and saw that it was Liu San Niang.
I was subconsciously a little scared.
Wang Xiuying supported Wang Yulan's waist with one hand, "Liu San Niang, what are you doing here?"
"Isn't this Baishi Teahouse our sweetheart's place?"
"Oh..." she suddenly exclaimed, as if realizing something, "You're working for my Tian Tian?"
Liu San Niang deliberately squinted at Wang Xiuying, "Let me see... who is this person who keeps calling me 'my Tian Tian'?"
"Isn't this...someone who, fearing that we, a widow and orphan family, would be a burden, has already severed ties with us?"
Upon hearing her words, the waiting guests nearby erupted in an uproar.
"Severing ties with an orphan and a widow? Isn't that bullying them?"
"They're just bullying people. Look at that mother-in-law's appearance; she's obviously not a good person."
"Then his son and daughter-in-law are also difficult to get along with."
"How could Madam Lu, such a gentle and kind person, possibly compete with them?"
"That's right..."
"Now that Madam Lu's family has opened such a large shop, are they regretting it and trying to take advantage of the situation?"
"Definitely is."
"And they even have the audacity to ask Madam Lu to serve them?"
Wang Yulan listened to the group's discussion and did not feel guilty.
She turned around and asked, "What do you know?"
"It was because her whole family felt that they were all cursed and jinxes, and out of shame, they cried and begged us to sever ties with them."
“They’ve been providing for us, and they were already at the point where they were supposed to be taking care of my husband and me in our old age, but they just had to cut ties with us.”
“We agreed to their request because we thought of them as orphans and widows.”
"Now that they've opened such a big shop, they should be the ones to support my husband and me in our old age!"
"No matter how you look at it, it's only fair!"
Her words silenced everyone.
According to what she said...
Mrs. Lu should indeed support her parents-in-law in their old age...
