Chapter 317 Living Father, I've Finally Found You
Once the firecrackers go off, there is a thousand taels of gold.
These past few days, Lin Xi, along with Meng Ze and Hei Yi, have been busy at the inn, and finally, they chose an auspicious day—to open for business!
"Master! I can take on five people at once, no problem at all. Please let me work at the inn!"
When Huang Mao Du Hao heard from Hei Yi that they earned three taels of silver a month, his eyes lit up with envy!
He can do everything – part-time as a waiter, part-time as a thug, part-time as a deliveryman – making him one of the most competitive people in Wangyue Village!
Good heavens, and most importantly, it's only three taels of silver!
As for the claim that outlaws dislike gold and silver, those are just rumors and have nothing to do with him.
"Boss, look at me!"
As Lin Xi chopped vegetables, she looked at Du Hao, who was squatting by the stove with a silly and cute expression, and almost rolled her eyes at him.
With his golden hair, he looks exactly like a big golden retriever.
At this moment, Gao Mengli walked into the kitchen carrying a basket of cabbages, her face full of speechlessness: "You're in charge of the coal mine, what are you doing here as a waiter?"
"Master Gao!"
Upon hearing the voice, Du Hao was very excited and quickly stood up to take the basket from Gao Mengli.
"Master Gao, as you know, we're all rough men who can't cook..."
At this point, Du Hao looked at Lin Xi's skillful cooking posture and felt a little embarrassed.
It's true what they say, comparisons are odious, and he should just throw it away.
The guesthouse includes three meals a day—it's too tempting!
Moreover, in the village, who wouldn't want to work for the Lin family? The benefits are simply too numerous to count.
Gao Mengli couldn't help but glance at Du Hao.
So it turns out the temptation of the free food is much greater!
Gao Mengli glanced at the unmoved Lin Xi, then at the pleading Du Hao.
He shrugged, indicating that he couldn't help.
"Master Gao..."
When Du Hao saw her like this, his face scrunched up like a bitter gourd.
Just as he was about to say something, Hei Yi rushed in from outside.
"Master, that pica customer has arrived with his family. These are the dishes they ordered!"
"Oh!"
Gao Mengli raised an eyebrow and took the menu from Hei Yi's hand.
"Braised pork knuckle, fish soup in sour broth, sweet and sour pork ribs..."
Gao Mengli quickly glanced through the list; all ten dishes were meat dishes.
In no time, the kitchen became bustling with activity.
"Dad, the family business is so big, and you're taking over. Do you know how worried everyone is?"
She really ran herself ragged trying to find her living father.
Finally, we found it in this desolate, remote mountain village.
When questioned by his daughter, Mu Yang shrank back guiltily, "Hehe, Tian Tian, I feel very relieved with you at home!"
"With me?"
Mu Tiantian pointed to herself, then stood up from her chair and spun around in front of Mu Yang: "Dad, I'm only ten years old! You've put all the family business on my shoulders, is that something a human being would do?"
Mu Yang chuckled dryly and scratched his head, his gaze shifting back and forth across his daughter's puffed-up face. Suddenly, he noticed a piece of grass stuck in her hair and reached out to remove it for her, but Mu Tiantian dodged him.
"Oh, my precious daughter! My business will all be yours from now on, whether you take it over sooner or later, it's all the same."
Your mother passed away early, and I raised you from infancy, changing your diapers and feeding you. You started handling the family business at the age of seven; you're a business prodigy. The business has only grown bigger and bigger, so don't underestimate yourself!
Mu Yang showered him with compliments, praising him one after another.
Mu Tiantian, flattered by her adoptive father's praise, proudly raised her head: "That's right! Back then, the family's pearl business almost went bankrupt because of you. If it weren't for my efforts to turn the tide..."
Just as Mu Tiantian was about to recount her great achievements, she realized something was amiss.
That's not the point. The point is that her biological father has to go home with her.
Being out all the time, what kind of behavior is that?
Suddenly, she slammed her hand on the table, startling Mu Yang.
"No, Dad, is that the point?"
"Stop giving me all this nonsense. You have to come back with me and get married. Don't worry, the woman I found for you this time is well-educated and reasonable; she'll definitely be able to keep an eye on you, you troublesome one."
She was born late in life; her mother was forty years old when she gave birth to her.
So he developed a chronic illness and passed away early.
Unfortunately, this father was a troublesome one; he couldn't help with the family business at all and preferred to travel around.
Not only do they run away, but they also lack common sense and get kidnapped.
She had to redeem her father at least five, six, seven, or eight times, if not ten.
It's a disguised way of squandering money, and she has no choice but to intervene.
Hearing that Tian Tian had arranged another marriage for him, Mu Yang felt as bitter as a bitter gourd in his heart.
No, for freedom, love, and family fortune, I would give up everything.
"Tiantian..."
"Shut up already."
"Tiantian..."
"I do not want to hear."
Looking at his stubborn daughter, Mu Yang felt a pang of anxiety.
Oh no, Sweetie's for real—
"Boom boom boom——"
A knock on the door temporarily interrupted the father and daughter.
"Mr. Mu, the food is ready!"
Lin Xi, accompanied by Hei Yi, pushed open the door carrying a tray and came in, only to see Mu Yang with a bitter expression.
Beside them was a lively girl of about ten years old, with a serious expression.
This looks kind of interesting!
"Mr. Mu, this is the braised pork knuckle and the sour fish soup you ordered..."
Lin Xi announced the names of the dishes as she served them.
Mu Tiantian was initially very angry.
But the enticing aroma of the food wafted into her nose and struck her right at the top of her head.
After all, he is just a child.
Mu Tiantian swallowed hard, her eyes unconsciously following Lin Xi's actions as she served the dishes.
The savory aroma of the sour fish soup, mixed with the caramelized fragrance of the braised pork knuckle, exploded in my nostrils, and my stomach rumbled at just the right moment.
"My dear daughter, are you hungry? Come and try some fish!"
Mu Yang, being very perceptive, quickly picked up his chopsticks and placed the fish belly into Tian Tian's bowl.
The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.
In order to find her living father, she traveled by horse-drawn carriage for two months, enduring wind and rain.
I haven't had a proper meal yet.
I was originally trying to maintain a dignified demeanor, but who knew that once the fish entered my mouth, all that dignified demeanor would be taken away by whoever wanted it.
Mu Tiantian didn't bother wiping the soup from the corners of her mouth; her chopsticks flew as she poked at the braised pork knuckle.
The soft, tender pork skin melted in her mouth, mixed with the rich flavor of the secret sauce, and she ate until her cheeks were bulging.
Seeing that his daughter was enjoying her meal, Mu Yang picked up his chopsticks and prepared to pick up the small fried fish in front of Tian Tian.
But Tian Tian swatted her away, saying, "Dad, don't take mine!"
Lin Xi leaned against the door frame and chuckled softly. She closed the door and left.
These two are actually father and daughter!
"What are you laughing at? Did you find some money?"
Gao Mengli was carrying a basket on her back, preparing to go home, when she saw Lin Xi entering the kitchen with a big, aunt-like smile on her face.
"Mengli, let me tell you, there really is one thing that can subdue another!"
Lin Xi whispered in Gao Mengli's ear, gossiping about what he had just witnessed.
The two crickets chirped for a while, occasionally letting out a laugh.
Little did they know that the happier they were now, the more miserable they would be later.
What goes around comes around, and one family after another goes through the cycle of reincarnation!
