Divorced Dad's Gourmet Shop

Chapter 441: Chapter 340: Younger Brother?

"But not in front of other people..."

"Mmm..."

Jiang Liu was instantly fired up.

’So my rich little princess wife has this kind of kink?’

’No, I should say, my wife is so well-behaved!’

’This is getting me so excited!’

Jiang Tongtong looked bewildered.

She nibbled on her finger, her little brain unable to figure it out.

’Why does the adult world have so many secrets?’

’Is there something this little cutie isn’t allowed to hear?’

’Fine!’

’So sour, so sour.’

’If Mommy and Daddy don’t say, this little cutie won’t ask.’

’Who made me so sensible, anyway?’

Sigh!

The little girl sighed. It wasn’t easy being such a sensible kid.

Jiang Dahai held the bottle of Maotai and poured.

The clear, slightly viscous liquor fell into the glasses, filling the air with a rich, pungent aroma and the signature "sauce fragrance" of Maotai.

The two men continued to exchange toasts.

Jun Qingmeng placed a hand on Jiang Liu’s leg and patted it gently.

Jiang Liu got the hint and said to the two tipsy fathers, "Uncle Jun, you should stop drinking. My dad can sleep in tomorrow, but you still have to work."

"Old Jiang!" Lin Qiu shouted angrily, startling Jiang Dahai so much his hand trembled.

They say alcohol gives a coward courage.

But even with liquid courage, Jiang Dahai was still subconsciously terrified of his wife.

Lin Qiu said in a furious whisper, "You don’t have to work! But Mr. Jun does. Can’t you be a little more considerate of him?"

"Oh." Jiang Dahai put down his glass.

He shot Jun Xinghe a look.

It was unclear if Jun Xinghe saw it or not.

His face flushed, he said, "Sis... Sister-in-law... don’t worry about me. My company... there’s nothing much going on at the company. The system is well-established. It’s fine if I don’t go in for a day or two!"

"Exactly! If I don’t go to the office, I don’t even know... what... what to do! HIC—"

Jiang Dahai’s hazy eyes lit up. "Little bro, I have an idea."

"What is it?"

"We can play games at home tomorrow! Your sister-in-law and I play competitive games when we have nothing to do. The three of us can form a team!"

Jiang Dahai got excited, and his words became much clearer:

"You have no idea how hard your sister-in-law is to carry. When I play alone, my win rate is ninety percent. With her, it drops to ten percent. It’s so tough for me! If you join, the two of us can carry her, and our win rate will definitely hit fifty percent!"

Lin Qiu clenched her fists.

She lowered her head, her face as black as the bottom of a pot.

A series of options appeared in her mind with a DING DING DING DING.

’Rolling pin, lock him out, rope, kitchen knife, syringe, scalpel, give him the silent treatment for a month, once a day... ’

Jiang Liu and his daughter instinctively exchanged a glance.

Jiang Tongtong stuck out her tongue.

’Grandpa’s gonna get a beating from Grandma again.’

’Hee hee.’

Another half bottle of liquor was finished.

Jun Xinghe collapsed onto the table and powered down.

Jiang Dahai’s battery was blinking.

He barely managed to hold himself up, patting Jun Xinghe’s shoulder and speaking in a heartfelt tone:

"Little bro, let me tell you, don’t always put so much pressure on yourself. When it’s time to eat, eat! When it’s time to, to, to... hmm? Right, when it’s time to have fun, have fun!"

"Actually... your big bro sees right through you. You’re just too tired. You need to talk more with your family!"

"Look how great it is now. You have me, your big bro, you have your sister-in-law, a granddaughter, and, and a younger brother! We’re all one big, happy family!"

"Are you asleep? Get up, have another drink!"

Jiang Liu raised an eyebrow.

’Younger brother?’

’Jeez.’

’A moment ago, *he* was the "little bro."’

’And now *I’m* the "younger brother"?’

’The family hierarchy is getting more and more confusing...’

Jiang Liu suspected his dad was being mischievous, deliberately taking advantage of Uncle Jun’s drunken state to mess with the family titles.

His expression was strange.

THUD.

Jiang Dahai collapsed too, but his eyes were half-open.

He seemed to be stuck in a state between on and off.

"Daddy, Grandpa and Maternal Grandpa are both asleep!" Jiang Tongtong announced excitedly.

"They’re drunk!" Jiang Liu corrected her.

"I know!"

Jun Qingmeng said, "Honey, why don’t you help your dad to the car first?"

"Let’s help Uncle Jun first. I don’t know where Secretary Wang is."

Jun Qingmeng frowned. "Why don’t we just leave him here? It’s pretty safe if we lock the door."

’Such a shining example of filial piety. Leave it to the great President Jun’s daughter.’

’Her mind really took the path of least resistance.’

Jiang Liu gave a helpless smile.

"Let’s clear the table first. I’ll send Secretary Wang a message on WeChat and have him come pick up Uncle Jun."

"Okay, whatever you say, honey." Jun Qingmeng said with an obedient expression.

She was like a completely different person from the one who had just made that shocking suggestion.

She had truly elevated the art of the double standard!

After they finished clearing the table,

Secretary Wang arrived. He didn’t come right in; he first peeked furtively through the glass door before pushing it open.

Seeing the drunken Jun Xinghe, he resisted the urge to punch him a couple of times.

"Boss Jiang, what’s the plan?" he asked.

"Uh, what do you mean, ’what’s the plan’?" Jiang Liu was baffled. "Aren’t you taking Uncle Jun home?"

Secretary Wang shook his head. "If I take President Jun home, there’s no one to look after him. It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to stay at his house—my wife and kid are waiting for me. I don’t have his housekeeper’s contact info, and since President Jun isn’t there, she definitely won’t be either."

Jiang Liu thought for a moment.

He turned to Jun Qingmeng and said, "Honey, how about we take Uncle home with us? He can crash in our living room for the night."

Jun Qingmeng was instantly displeased.

But she still nodded. "I’ll listen to you. If you want to bring him, then let’s bring him."

She didn’t want an annoying person intruding on the happy life she shared with her husband.

Jiang Liu squeezed his wife’s hand comfortingly.

"There, there, don’t be mad. It’ll be rough for Uncle with no one to look after him."

"Mmm, okay!"

"Secretary Wang, open the car door. I’ll carry Uncle Jun to your car."

Jiang Liu figured he was strong enough now to carry three or four Jun Xinghes.

’Stay humble!’

He helped Jun Xinghe up, draping his arm over his own neck.

Some customers who were still hanging around saw this.

They rushed over excitedly.

"Xiao Jiang, let me help you!"

"Here, here, let’s carry him! We can’t let Boss Jiang get tired!"

"That’s right, Boss Jiang needs to save his energy to cook for us."

The neighbors were very enthusiastic. They casually tossed Jun Xinghe into the back seat. Who cares if he was some big-shot president? He wasn’t as good as Boss Jiang’s food... uh, anyway, he wasn’t as important as Boss Jiang!

"Brother Jiang, here are some strawberries I brought for you. Take them home and eat them."

"It’s getting cold, Xiao Jiang! Auntie made you a quilt. It’s extra thick. Take it home and use it!"

Jiang Liu stared at the quilt, which was covered in big red flowers, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Welp.

He and his wife now had a simple, unadorned quilt to sleep under.

’Oh well, if I put a cartoon Maomao duvet cover on it, no one will be able to tell.’

Jiang Liu had just driven his car over to load up the nuts when people started stuffing a whole bunch of other things into his trunk.

This made things easier. No need to ask, they just loaded everything right in.

"Thank you, everyone. Thank you for your concern."

Jiang Liu said gratefully, though he felt a bit helpless.

"It’s nothing, no one at my house eats it anyway!"

"Don’t be so formal! Boss Jiang, you’ve brought so much business to Yangzhai Street. This little bit of stuff can’t even begin to repay you."

"Did you drink, Xiao Jiang? If you drank, I’ll have my son drive for you. He’s a designated driver. I’ll have him do it for free!"

"Thank you, Uncle Wang," Jiang Liu said. "I didn’t drink."

"Alright then."

Uncle Wang smacked his lips, a little disappointed.

"Goodbye, Boss Jiang!"

"Go home and get some rest. Open up early tomorrow."

"Drive carefully! If anything happens to you, this old man won’t want to live anymore!"
