In the dimly lit home of Yu Li and Yan Jiefang, Yan Bugui observed their gloomy expressions and mistakenly thought they were simply exhausted from too many guests. With a cheerful smile, he asked, "How is it? With Shazhu's cooking skills, did many people come to eat today?"
Although this restaurant was not directly related to Yan Bugui, he felt as if it belonged to him since it was his son's venture. If his son made a fortune, he believed there was no way Yan Jiefang would deny him any money! This confidence, however, was perhaps a bit misplaced.
Upon hearing Yan Bugui's question, Yu Li's tears suddenly streamed down her face. "Dad, our restaurant has closed down! The health department came today and took our business license, and they fined us five yuan! Wuwuwu..."
As she spoke, Yu Li couldn't help but cry. She felt heartbroken; after all the effort they put into opening the restaurant, it had been shut down just like that. They still hadn't repaid the bank loan, and now they faced a fine of five yuan—what were they supposed to do?
Yan Bugui was stunned by Yu Li's words. He thought he had misheard her and turned to Yan Jiefang, asking, "Eldest son, is what Yu Li said true? The restaurant has closed down?!"
Yan Jiefang nodded in pain. "Dad, it's all Shazhu's fault! He got sick and the customers noticed. They reported the restaurant!"
Yan Bugui was so shocked that he nearly fainted. After a moment of recovery, he stood up and rushed toward the courtyard. Wang Xiulian and Yan Jiefang followed closely behind, worried about Yan Bugui's well-being.
"Shazhu! You worthless piece of trash, come out here!"
The residents who had just finished work heard the furious shout and rushed out to see what was happening.
"Shazhu! You've ruined my family's restaurant! We got fined five yuan and now it's closed! Do you think hiding in your house will save you?"
The crowd watched as Yan Bugui jumped up and down in front of Shazhu's house, murmurs of shock rippling through them.
Yan Jiefang's restaurant was fined five yuan? What could have happened to warrant such a penalty?
"And the restaurant is closed too? It must be serious!"
From Yan Bugui's words, it seemed these troubles were connected to Shazhu. But hadn't Shazhu only been out for two days? What could he have possibly done?
"I heard that Yan Jiefang hired Shazhu as a cook. Could this be related?"
"Hey, Old Yan, why don't you tell us what's going on?"
The onlookers were eager for details, their voices tinged with excitement as they awaited an explanation from Yan Bugui.
Everyone in the courtyard had heard Wang Xiulian boast about how well Yan Jiefang's restaurant was doing. Given their personalities, it was impossible for them not to feel envious. Now that they heard about the fine and closure of the restaurant, many were curious to see how this drama would unfold.
But Yan Bugui was too focused on confronting Shazhu to pay any attention to the spectators.
Inside his house, Shazhu heard Yan Bugui's angry shouts. He might have considered coming out earlier but felt guilty now that both Yan Jiefang and Yu Li knew about his illness. If this escalated and they started shouting about it in the courtyard, he would be utterly humiliated!
Shazhu's thoughts were rather naive; there was no way Yan Bugui would let him off just because he stayed inside.
Seeing that his voice had grown hoarse from shouting with no response from Shazhu’s house, Yan Bugui began to doubt whether Shazhu was even home at all!
Yan Bu Gui glared fiercely and shouted at Sha Zhu, "Sha Zhu, since you refuse to appreciate my kindness, don't blame me for exposing your embarrassing secrets!"
