"Oh, please eat slowly." Fang Xiaoling stroked Xiaolan's back, fearing that she would choke, "If you admit your mistake earlier, you don't have to eat the leftovers?"
Li Xiaoyu put the warm water aside and said distressedly: "Lan Lan, drink some water.
Roland, you are so cruel, you will make your child hungry. "
"Are you hungry now? She ate five croissants in the store during the day, and there are so many snacks and drinks in the room." Roland crossed his arms and said disdainfully, "We should leave her to experience Liu Erhua's era , what is real hunger?”
Xiaolan didn't say much, she just had one thing in mind, eat quickly, go back upstairs to sleep afterward, and play games when she woke up.
Through today's incident, she understood another truth: a good man never suffers immediate losses.
"Hiccup~ I'm full!" Xiaolan jumped down from the chair, "I'm going back to my room to sleep first!"
"Xiaolan, why don't you take a sip of hot water before leaving?" Li Xiaoyu held the cup and wanted to chase her, but Xiaolan ran very fast and had already gone upstairs.
"Hey -" Roland let out a long sigh, "Since she came to Saint-Freux, she only eats and sleeps all day long, like a pig."
"Okay, Roland, don't be so harsh. She's a child. What else do you want her to do?" Li Xiaoyu put the cup back on the table, "It's getting late, but there's something I've been holding back for a long time. Xiaoling is here today, everyone is here.
As an elder, I have a suggestion. "
Everyone looked at her and heard her say: "Look, it's so late now and there's not a single customer today.
Yesterday's income was ten yuan, and I only sold one croissant.
Anyway, this cafe has been open for a month, and business has never been good.
So I decided to change this coffee shop into a pet shop. We can take care of some kittens, puppies, rabbits and so on. How about it? "
Seeing everyone watching in surprise, Li Xiaoyu immediately continued: "Of course, I am a very democratic person, we can vote by a show of hands."
"I don't agree!" Roland frowned, "I'm here to accompany you, not to make money. In fact, I don't really care what I do, but Xiaoling likes coffee the most, and I opened the coffee shop to facilitate her.
Besides, the smell of those animals is too strong and it’s troublesome to take care of them, which I don’t like. "
"When Xiaoling drinks coffee, can Wang Chenyu make it for her? There's no need to open a coffee shop, right?" Li Xiaoyu seemed to have already thought of the excuse, "Besides, the little animals are so cute. As long as they are cleaned regularly, they won't be too big." It’s very flavorful, isn’t it Xiaoling?”
The words were thrown directly to Fang Xiaoling. She was too embarrassed to contradict her sister-in-law directly, so she could only say tactfully: "The pet shop is indeed very good, but it has already become like this. It will be troublesome to renovate it, right? I quite like this cafe... …”
"Then what's the trouble? Just remove the tables and chairs and change the signboard." Li Xiaoyu looked at Mengli, "What do you think, Mengli?"
"Hey - what's the difference?" Li Mengli sighed, "I can do it. As long as everyone is here, it doesn't matter what store I open."
"I agree to switch to another store." Li Mengling raised her hand and said, "Sister Luo Lan is too partial. Why should Sister Xiaoling open a coffee shop because she likes drinking coffee?
As long as it's not a coffee shop, any shop will do. "
"Great! Xiaoling didn't refuse, and Mengli doesn't care. Now it's four to one, so it's settled happily. When Wang Chenyu comes back tomorrow..."
"No." Roland interrupted Li Xiaoyu, "I don't like those animals. If you open them, I will stew them all."
Li Xiaoyu pinched his waist in dissatisfaction, "Eldest niece! Don't forget, I am the elder now, and everything in the family is subject to my orders."
Roland retorted calmly: "But I am still the store manager, and everything in the store obeys my orders."
"You...you're playing word games with me, right?" Li Xiaoyu said angrily, "Everything you say at the dinner table is good, but you won't admit it after the dinner table! It's a shame for you, a thirty-year-old man, who has no credibility at all. Don’t tell me!”
Roland's eyelids were half-opened, and he was getting drunk, "You're the one who pushed the envelope. I've given you enough respect for Xiaolan's matter, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to get over it with just an apology."
Not to be outdone, Li Xiaoyu said: "Why should everyone listen to you on something that four people agree on? Do you want to have a talk?"
"You asked people to speak by name. Of course my good sisters are embarrassed to refuse directly." Roland put his legs on the table, "Mengling, do you have pen and paper in your storage space? Let's all vote anonymously and let the little ones vote anonymously. Intelligent counting of votes, no one knows who voted.
Sister-in-law, is this okay? "
"Okay!" Li Xiaoyu's eyes sparkled, and he said confidently, "Listen carefully, there are five of us. No one is allowed to abandon the vote. We can only write whether we agree or disagree."
Xiaozhi didn't interrupt during the whole process. After hearing the order, he obediently put down the mop and distributed paper and pens to everyone.
They all turned their backs and wrote on the paper.
Fang Xiaoling knew that she was wearing a necklace, and Sister Luo Lan would definitely be able to see what she was writing, not to mention that she was more inclined to open a coffee shop, so she wrote "disagree".
Roland smiled slightly and wrote "disagree" on the paper.
Li Mengling hesitated for a while before writing. When Sister Xiaoling expressed her opinion just now, she was obviously rejecting her sister-in-law tactfully. Sister Luo Lan must have noticed this and proposed a vote.
So both of them would write "disagree".
Li Mengling thought about it. In fact, she didn't care what kind of store she opened. I was worried that my sister-in-law would not have support, so I raised my hand and said yes.
But if she writes "disagree" now, and her sister Li Mengli also writes "disagree", then the final result will be my sister-in-law alone who agrees, and I'm afraid she will be very sad.
In the end, Li Mengling wrote "agree" and handed over the decision-making power to Li Mengling. In this way, the final result would be three to two no matter what, and neither my sister-in-law nor Sister Luo Lan would be upset.
In short, as long as it's three to two, it doesn't matter what Li Mengli throws next.
Li Mengli wrote "agree" just because it meant writing one less word.
After Xiaozhi collected the votes, he announced: "Three to two."
Li Xiaoyu had already made a "Yeah!" gesture, but heard Xiaozhi continue: "Three votes if you don't agree, two votes if you agree, let's continue to open the coffee shop."
After speaking, Xiaozhi ate the ticket.
"Okay Mengli Mengling, at least one of you two doesn't support my sister-in-law, right?" Li Xiaoyu said angrily, "Is it possible that neither of you supports my sister-in-law? It was Xiaoling who voted 'yes'?"
"I'm willing to admit defeat." Roland raised his lips slightly, "Sister-in-law, since it's an anonymous vote, it's not good for you to keep asking questions like this, isn't it?"
Li Mengling glanced at Xiaozhi in confusion.
Mengli was right next to her when she was writing the ticket. Even without looking, she could tell from the duration of the writing sound and the interval between raising the pen that her sister wrote two words.
Why did Xiaozhi lie?
