Lin Wan nodded generously, "It’s my family business. In the future, if my cousin wants to treat us to a al, you can co to our shop. I guarantee you’ll get a discount."
"That’s easy to say, we’re family. We definitely need to look after each other."
"Xiao Wan, speaking of which, today we really owe you one. Without you, we would’ve lost face big ti today." Tan Aixiang saw the expressions on her family’s faces, but when the dishes were served, she finally smiled.
"It’s nothing. Uncle and Aunt have already paid a thirty-dollar deposit, you just need to pay 120 at the front desk. The rest counts as my gift to my little nephew."
"How could I accept that? It’s not easy for you either, let’s stick to the original price. Uncle can afford it."
"How co, Xiao Wan, we’re all family here. You have such a big shop, and you hid it so well, are you afraid we’ll take advantage of you? We’re all our own people. When Xiao Yi was small, he didn’t drink a little of my milk. Even if I didn’t do it well, I did it laboriously. Now that he’s capable, he should also show so filial piety to us. Since there’s this possibility, why be so polite."
As soon as Zhang Huilan finished speaking, several people beside her blushed, her son and daughter-in-law were too embarrassed to look at her. She really embarrassed them a lot.
Lin Wan clearly stated that the cost was 150, and she even provided fruits. This banquet, if held in a state-run restaurant, wouldn’t cost less than 200, not even including drinks. Now Xiao Wan only charged for the dishes, and mom was so shaless, it was simply embarrassing.
"Auntie shouldn’t say that, it would be fine for one or two dollars, but this is over a hundred. I have rent to pay and employees to take care of, all these are expenses needed for groceries, without adding even a penny. Auntie doesn’t want our shop to go bankrupt, right?" She’s not one to be ssed with, even Han Yi wouldn’t directly waive the bill for them.
Han Ying watched Lin Wan’s response and nodded quietly.
Today’s event had already embarrassed Shen Haitao enough. He didn’t expect his wife to be so shaless, it might have been let go before, but today his mother was there. His wife didn’t see, but he saw mom’s cold face.
"Xiao Wan, here’s the money, keep it well. We truly owe you one today. If it were sowhere else, I don’t know what it would’ve turned into. Uncle thanks you first, your aunt is just like that, not aning any harm. Don’t take it to heart."
Uncle’s words sounded pleasant to Lin Wan, she took the money and smiled generously, "In the future, uncle, when you co here to eat, I’ll give you a twenty percent discount."
"What does twenty percent an?" Zhang Huilan was unwilling, but her husband had given up the money, so she had no choice but to feel the pain herself.
"For example, if you spend ten dollars today, a twenty percent discount ans you’ll save two dollars."
"Two dollars, that’s too little."
The banquet ended with Auntie’s complaints.
Tan Aixiang returned ho with her child and started complaining, "Let’s not talk about what happened today, but I disagree with your mom not taking care of the child."
"I’ll talk it over with her, don’t worry," in this matter, Shen Boxu felt helpless too.
"I don’t care, in any case, I can’t lose this job. Your mom must compromise with the childcare."
July ca around, and since the last banquet, Aunt occasionally brought colleagues and leaders to build connections, eating several als at their place. She took advantage of many discounts, and Lin Wan couldn’t be bothered with her.
Grandma said she heard Tan Aixiang and Aunt quarreled, Aunt refused to take care of the child saying her monthly salary was higher than her daughter-in-law’s, she was about to get evaluated for a promotion, and her future salary would be higher too. Tan Aixiang just started working for two years, earning over twenty dollars a month. It’d be better for her to take care of the child at ho.
Tan Aixiang disagreed, saying she was young and opportunities for her to rise would be plentiful. Nowadays, it’s always the mother-in-law who looks after the child at ho.
