Chapter 624: Same Mother, Different Father
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Brothers, you’re welcome today!”
The people who came with Zheng Hui patted his shoulder, looking like they were going to feast.
“I heard that the beef is especially delicious, so let’s give the brothers a few servings…”
The people behind him were already discussing what to eat.
“Ah Hui, listen to me. This shop is no longer mine. It belongs to this little girl now. I can’t treat your friends to dinner here today,” Zhao Guang said helplessly.
!!“What?! When did you sell the shop? Why didn’t you discuss this with your family? If you don’t open the shop, what do you plan to do?”
Zheng Hui asked a series of questions one after another.
Zheng Hui and Zhao Guang were not biological brothers with the same father and mother, but half-brothers. Zheng Hui’s mother married a butcher in the early years and gave birth to Zhao Guang. However, the marriage with the butcher did not last long before Zheng Hui’s mother married Zheng Hui’s father again.
Zheng Hui’s father was originally a farmer. He happened to catch the wave of development and instantly went from an ordinary person to a small and medium-sized business owner. In their circle, he could be considered a well-known figure.
Zhao Guang was not Zheng Hui’s father’s biological son, but Zheng Hui’s father could be considered a great-minded person. Although he could not dote on Zhao Guang as much as he doted on his biological son, he had never mistreated his stepson.
However, this stepson was a failure. He had inherited all the shortcomings of his butcher father. He liked drinking, was lecherous, and had no ambitions. Zheng Hui’s father had always wanted Zhao Guang to go to school, but Zhao Guang was ignorant and incompetent. In the end, he was expelled from school.
Zheng Hui’s father had no other choice. He took some money from his family and opened a hotpot restaurant here. He transferred the hotpot restaurant to Zhao Guang’s name and let him guard the business to maintain his food and clothing.
Zheng Hui’s father had done his best!
The two of them were the same mother, and their relations.h.i.+p had been very good since they were young. Zhao Guang was not very ambitious, and he had never affected Zheng Hui’s actual interests.
Therefore, the two of them had a very good relations.h.i.+p without any conflict of interest.
“Ah Hui, listen to me. It was my fault. I made a bet with this girl and lost our hotpot restaurant. Don’t tell dad about this. Don’t tell mom either! I’ll think of a way to solve this!”
Zhao Guang did not want Zheng Hui to tell his stepfather about this because they were not related by blood. After all, they were separated by many layers. At the same time, he did not want to tell his mother either. He was afraid that his mother would blame him even more than his stepfather.
“It’s such a big deal. How can I just do as you say?! Do you know how much money was invested in opening this hot pot restaurant? My father wanted you to have something to live on. But what are you doing now? Are you worthy of my father?”
When there was no actual conflict of interest, the two brothers were blood brothers. However, if there was any actual conflict, the two of them should be able to distinguish clearly.
In the past, Zheng Hui always said ‘our father’. Now that something had really happened, Zheng Hui said ‘my father’ instead.
“Ah Hui, this matter is indeed my fault. There’s still some change at the front desk. Take this change and go somewhere else to eat with your brothers. This street is basically filled with restaurants. There’s a specialty northeastern cuisine in front, and it’s pretty good.”
Zhao Guang kicked the waiter again and signaled for him to go to the cas.h.i.+er at the front desk and take out the money.
“Why did you kick me? Do you think you’re still the owner of this shop? Do you think I’m still working for you?”
Everyone swallowed their anger for the sake of living. However, there was no clear relations.h.i.+p between the employer and the employee anymore.
Even if the waiter was very poor, he would not let Zhao Guang go.
