After driving back to the city, Zhang Wu took Zhang Jianguo, Lin Qingyin, and Fatty Wang to a well-known restaurant. He took a pile of money from his bag and gave it to Zhang Jianguo, then asked him to invite the master to dinner. After saying goodbye to Lin Qingyin, he left in a hurry.

Zhang Wu’s time was limited, he must arrange his family affairs before he completely loses his luck. He plans to go to the hospital to save hundreds of thousands of medical expenses for his daughter, which is enough for her surgery and post-treatment. He also wanted to buy a large sum of insurance for his family and prepare a trust fund for his daughter. He also wanted to prepare the money for their ancestral grave. All this money should be prepared in advance. He was afraid to be penniless before he could arrange everything.

The private restaurant Zhang Wu looked for was very famous. All their dishes were also famous. Lin Qingyin looked at the delicious dishes and then turned her head to asked Fatty Wang: “Where did their cooks graduate?”

Fatty Wang pondered and replied: “I’ve heard that Xindongfang teaches culinary. I don’t know about the rest.”

Lin Qingyin searched the original owner’s memory about Xindongfang. Unfortunately, the original owner didn’t even watch TV. Aside from studying, she didn’t do anything else. She could only ask Fatty Wang once again.

“Is Xindongfang a university?”

Fatty Wang was shocked by Lin Qingyin’s question. He almost thought he had auditory hallucinations: “Are you asking about Xindongfang Cooking School?” He couldn’t figure out Lin Qingyin’s brain circuits, so he could only simply and clearly say: “That kind of school only teaches professional skills. They are definitely not a university. They don’t teach anything else except cooking.”

Lin Qingyin was shocked. She didn’t expect that there was such a school. Not only they teach people how to cook food, but also don’t give homework to do!

It’s a pity that the original owner was obsessed to take college entrance examinations.

Lin Qingyin sighed in regret. She wondered if she could send her mother to go to this school.

She really had enough of salty boiled noodles and tasteless boiled vegetables!

It was about 2 o’clock in the afternoon when they finished eating. Zhang Jianguo was exhausted after tossing around for a long time. He sat with them for a while before leaving.

Fatty Wang witnessed Lin Qingyin’s formation today. He was so excited that he wanted to share the spectacular scene with others. Unfortunately, it was not something he should tell to others, he could only share it with Jiang Wei.

Fatty Wang remembered that Lin Qingyin asked Jiang Wei to wait for his enemy at home today. So he couldn’t help but suggest: “Master, this place is only a few minutes away from Jiang Wei’s house. Why don’t we go to his house to watch the excitement?”

Lin Qingyin looked out of the window and shook her head: “It’s about time to rain and thunder outside. If you want to watch the excitement, you may as well wait here, or ask Jiang Wei to send you a video.”

Although Fatty Wang didn’t fully understand what Lin Qingyin had said. After running with Lin Qingyin these past few days, he also summed up his experience. That is, everything the little master said was right, so he just listened honestly.

Lin Qingyin said that it will rain, and not long after, it rained outside. The sky darkened and was filled with a thunderstorm. Fatty Wang scratched his head and looked at the weather forecast on his phone. It says that it will be sunny.

Fatty Wang looked at Lin Qingyin, who started stroking her tortoiseshell again. He scratched his head in confusion: “Master, what are we waiting for here?”

Lin Qingyin propped her chin toward the window: “The moment you hear the sound of the thunder, you sit by the window and watch the excitement.”

Fatty Wang thought for a while and sat on the sofa, then send a WeChat message to Jiang Wei: “Is your house lively today?”

Jiang Wei excitedly replied with a voice: “Chen Yucheng just escaped from our house. It’s so cool.”

Early this morning, Jiang Wei told his parents that Lin Qingyin said that he shouldn’t go out. Father Jiang and Mother Jiang seemed to have heard an imperial decree, they assigned all their work to their people. And then, they also stayed at home honestly for a day.

The whole morning was quiet and nothing happened. But after lunch, Chen Yucheng called. Father Jiang felt complicated when he saw the name displayed on his mobile phone. He was waiting for Chen Yucheng to call him on the day he learned the truth. But when the call came, he felt a deep heartache. He really hoped that the person who hurt his family was not the good brother who had been with him for many years.

After taking a deep breath, Father Jiang answered the phone and said hello as if nothing had happened. Chen Yucheng was obviously absent-minded. After saying two sentences, he couldn’t wait to turn the topic to his main concern: “Brother Jiang, are you still wearing the pair of jade pendant necklaces I gave you and sister-in-law before? I recently ran into that master again and especially asked him to make more effective ones. This pair will not only ensure your safety but also increase your fortune. I will send it to you now.”

Father Jiang felt like he was poured with cold water. His whole trembled as he said: “No need. Your sister-in-law and I don’t believe in that. You can keep it to yourself.”

“No!” Chen Yucheng raised his voice fiercely. When he realized it, he stayed silent for 2 seconds and then dryly smiled: “Brother, I am really worried about you. So I specifically asked this master to make amulets for you. Whether it works or not, it’s good to keep it.”

Father Jiang chuckled and said: “I’ve seen the news that you are not doing well recently. Not only the quality of your product has problems, but the tax bureau also has been staring at you. You can wear that jade pendant, maybe it’s luck will be transferred on you! Okay, I’m pretty busy here, so I won’t talk to you anymore.” Father Jiang didn’t wait for Chen Yucheng’s reply, he hung up the phone.

Mother Jiang had been listening to the side. She was a little angry when she saw Father Jiang didn’t even scold Chen Yucheng: “You should have scolded him for not having a conscience. You should have scolded him for a long time.”

Father Jiang rubbed his eyebrows tiredly and weakly said: “What’s the point of scolding, it’s just a waste of saliva. Since the little master said that he will have retribution soon, we only need to wait and see.”

When Mother Jiang heard the name of the little master, she didn’t bother with Father Jiang anymore. But who would have thought that after an hour, someone will knock on their door? When they opened the door, they saw Chen Yucheng and a stranger.

Jiang Wei didn’t call Chen Yuncheng godfather when he saw him. He only coldly looked at him and didn’t utter a word. At this time, Chen Yucheng’s mind was only filled with recent changes. He didn’t even notice Jiang Wei’s change of attitude. He handed him a new hat and said: “I think young people these days like to wear this hat, so I also bought you a new one.”

Jiang Wei looked at the hat in front of him. He took a step back and frowned in disgust: “I think it’s dirty.”
