Chapter 2240 If you can't beat them, marry them in
After taking a bite, Lin Chen waved the rest of the food around for them...
As for why big strawberries were served to guests, Lin Chen naturally had his reasons.
"It's so sweet, aren't you going to eat it?"
The two girls were well-mannered; they had eaten apples, oranges, and bananas before. They weren't uncultured wild girls, so they wouldn't eat each other's food now.
"I won't eat it. You should make your brother apologize to me right now."
Lin Chen specially brought out some dishes they had never eaten before to treat them, but they still refused to eat them. In the other world, you are princesses and empresses, but in this courtyard world, you are not.
"Fine, don't eat then, but an apology is out of the question. You deserved to be beaten for blocking the way to the courtyard house, didn't you? Why should we apologize? Besides, who told you to come along? Why don't you go find the person who brought you?"
"I...I...Can't I just go watch the fun? Why did your brother hit me!"
Zhou Xiaobai is now sharp-tongued and witty; she's not afraid of anyone who dares to come.
Lin Chen continued to happily eat the big, red strawberries, as if to say, "We're not going to apologize."
"Keep making things up! You were clearly fighting with Yan Jiedi from our compound, and Zhendong only helped you out. Do you think I don't know that?"
When Hao Dongmei realized she couldn't find the other party's parents, and that this older brother seemed quite unreasonable, she knew she wouldn't gain anything by continuing the argument.
"Xiaobai, let's go! We can come back when his parents return."
Zhou Xiaobai was in the wrong and couldn't argue with Lin Chen. So, he could only retreat for now and go find Secretary Lin at the restaurant tomorrow…
"Hmph, I'm not going to argue with you. Like brother, like brother!"
Lin Chen burst out laughing when he saw the other person pouting in anger! She's quite good at changing words!
"Aren't you going to try some? This is a special treat, not something ordinary people can get their hands on. Neither of you two have ever seen it before, have you?"
Zhou Xiaobai thought, "If you don't apologize, I'll eat the two fruits you gave me to make up for it. Who told your brother to hit me?"
The little girl immediately stuck out her pink tongue playfully and made a face: "We'll try it, consider it your family's apology!"
Zhou Xiaobai was too embarrassed to take more, so he only took two back.
Lin Chen immediately corrected her: "No, no, no, our Lin family is just being hospitable by inviting you to this meal, but we haven't apologized. Don't flatter yourself, okay?"
Hao Dongmei knew that she and Zhou Xiaobai were no match for the older brother in front of them, so she grabbed her best friend and ran away.
The two little girls ran all the way out the gate before stopping...
"This family is unreasonable. Let's go. Tomorrow we'll sneak off to find their father."
As Zhou Xiaobai spoke, she gave one of the large strawberries she had brought to her best friend.
"Try it, he seems to really enjoy it."
The two girls exchanged a smile, relieved that their trip hadn't been in vain. At least they could scare Lin Zhendong once and see if she would dare to hit them again.
"Xiaobai, do you think his brother is just trying to save face by not apologizing, and then he's trying to compensate you with something so nice?"
"Mmm, so sweet, even better than apples. Dongmei, you're absolutely right! It's just that that little rascal's brother is older than us, otherwise I would definitely marry him in the future. Just wait and see how I deal with him then... How dare he hit me, I'll never forgive the Lin family."
After overhearing the conversation between the two in the alley, Lin Chen was impressed by Zhou Xiaobai's thought process.
If you can't beat them, marry into their family—that's too ruthless! To gamble your whole life just to get revenge for a kick.
Hao Dongmei, who was taking small bites of a large strawberry, was also taken aback...
"Xiaobai, don't be impulsive. Although it's true that an elder sister-in-law is like a mother, I think her brother is seven or eight years older than us! He won't wait for you, will he? You should think of another way!"
After thinking about it carefully, Zhou Xiaobai sighed; it was indeed a bit unrealistic.
"What's there to be afraid of? What if his brother gets divorced in the future!"
Hao Dongmei chuckled after hearing this: "Come on, give me a break! Have you ever seen such a handsome man? Anyone who marries him will be impossible to get rid of. Your father is a military commander, have you ever eaten this? The Lin family is not simple. My parents have been whispering about Secretary Lin these past few days. Apparently, they even asked him to help approve the construction of the Dalian naval port!"
The daughter overheard Director Hao and his wife's discussion. Both families praised Secretary Lin, which is why they dared to come to his door.
The two girls didn't get their way, but ended up getting a bite of a fresh, large strawberry. They had no idea how they'd repay the favor in the future; they didn't yet realize that the Lin family's food wasn't free.
Lin Chen thought that eating strawberries was a matter of course!
"Dongmei, let's sneak into the restaurant tomorrow. We have to see Secretary Lin. I refuse to believe we can't deal with those two brothers."
Hao Dongmei immediately agreed, since her father would also be going to accompany them for drinks the next day.
"Then you'd better dress up nicely, after all, you're going to be someone's daughter-in-law!"
Upon hearing the other person making fun of him, Zhou Xiaobai immediately chased after them.
"Stop running! I think you're the one who wants to be someone's daughter-in-law! You're secretly steaming buns! Stop right there!"
And so the two little girls ran back to the naval compound, playfully bickering... Zhou Xiaobai was quite envious of their act of stealing steamed buns!
At this moment, two mechanical girls were escorting them from a hundred meters behind; safety had to be the top priority.

after dinner
The little monkey, now sober, began to move around...
Liao Shaoji is having his banquet the day after tomorrow, and Guo Da Piezi is taking his men to the black market to procure supplies tomorrow night. There's no time to think things through now; let's just do as Pian Ye says!
When the young man arrived at Jia Zhangshi's place, he immediately slapped five mao (50 cents) and two liang (100 grams) of meat coupons on the table without saying a word.
Jia Zhangshi is a money-grubbing woman, so there's no need for roundabout methods. Let's get straight to the point; this woman is capable of anything.
Just as Jia Zhangshi reached out to grab the money, the little monkey grabbed her again.
"Aunt Jia, don't be in such a hurry to take the benefits. You have to do the things I've arranged well."
Jia Zhangshi and Qiangzi exchanged a glance and then chuckled.
"What are you saying? Aren't we allies? Even if you don't give me the money, do you think the old lady won't help you?"
Qiangzi chuckled along, "Yes, yes, we're all in the same boat. Just tell us what's on your mind, and we'll definitely listen to you."
Seeing that Cai Quanwu and his wife were getting benefits from the Yang family, how could the two of them not be envious?
Now that the little monkey is practically offering itself up for bloodletting, there's no way I'm going to pass it up. These days, who would turn down money...?
After nodding in satisfaction, the little monkey told the couple about its plan.
“A few days ago, Aunt Jia and several other families ganged up on us and bullied us. Can you swallow this insult?”
Jia Zhangshi certainly couldn't swallow this; being beaten three times a day was practically the epitome of stinginess. Even the old man could tolerate it, but the old woman couldn't...
"Damn it, we have to get rid of these bastards. I got beaten by Wang Shi first, then by that ingrate, and then I got beaten by that second wife for complaining. Do they really think I'm a pushover?!"
