Courtyard House: The eldest son of the He family marries a woman who brings him good fortune.

They were so naive; they actually thought they could bribe him with a steamed bun.

He Daqing sneered: "You don't know what I do, do you? I'm a chef. Do you know Tan Family Cuisine? I used to be a chef at Tan Family Cuisine."

"Back then, I've seen everything. Let alone steamed buns, even if a big, fatty pork knuckle was placed in front of me, I guarantee I wouldn't even blink."

Wang Lili took a bite of the steamed bun right in front of him: "You said it yourself, back then, I wonder if we can still eat big fatty pork knuckles now?"

Wang Pingping also took a bite: "Let alone a big fatty pork knuckle, I'm afraid I haven't even had a steamed bun in a long time."

"You didn't even want them when they were free. There are five buns here. My sister and I were going to each take one, and give you the remaining three. Since you don't appreciate it, don't blame us for being impolite."

The two of them ate while talking.

In the blink of an eye, two meat buns were in his mouth.

Seeing that they had each eaten one, if he agreed now, the remaining three would all be his.

But He Daqing hesitated for a moment.

The two of them each picked one up and started eating.

The steamed buns looked so tempting, and they ate them with great relish.

He Daqing had not eaten meat for a long time.

Let alone meat buns, he hasn't tasted even scraps of meat for almost half a year.

They each ate one.

Now only one of the five meat buns is left.

If he doesn't speak up soon, then this one will be gone too.

I saw Wang Lili pick up the last steamed bun.

He Daqing said urgently, "Wait!"

"What, have you figured it out?"

"I'm afraid you'll eat too fast and choke."

"You don't need to worry about that. If we choke, we can just buy another bottle of soda later."

"Girls should know how to manage their money. The way you eat, how many food coupons would you need for one meal?"

The two took out the money and food coupons given to them by her mother.

"We have plenty of money and food stamps; now it's just a matter of whether you agree or not."

He Daqing rolled his eyes.

He's the kind of person who never keeps his word.

Even if you agree to them now, you can always go back on your word later.

The most important thing is to eat these steamed buns first!

He thought that being older and more experienced, he might be able to trick the two girls out of their steamed buns and then swindle all the rest of their money with just a few words.

"Okay, I promise you."

"Promise what?"

"It's just like you said, not seeing He Wennuan and not disturbing He Hongyang."

The two girls, of course, did not believe him.

He had previously signed and affixed his seal, and even published a notice in the newspaper severing ties.

They can all come to you.

A few words won't count for anything right now.

After He Daqing finished speaking, he reached out to grab the meat bun.

Wang Lili tilted her hand back: "What if you don't keep your word?"

"Don't you believe that at my age, I would never go back on my word?"

"You promised your brother-in-law so readily before, and now you're going back on your word. How can we trust you?"

"Can I swear? I swear I'll never contact them again."

"We don't believe your oath."

“I wrote a guarantee that I will not bother them again.”

"We don't believe the guarantee you wrote either."

"This won't work, that won't work, what exactly do you want to do?"

Seeing how much he was drooling, and how he had just said he would swear an oath and write a guarantee.

Next, the sisters are going to teach him a lesson.

Let him dare to seek warmth again, let him dare to seek his brother-in-law again, let him say those things to his mother again.

"If you want to eat steamed buns, come with us."

"Where?"

"Outside the city."

Why go outside the city?

“You said you didn’t want to bother your brother-in-law, so naturally you should go back to your hometown of Baoding. Either you can buy a train ticket in the city to go back, or you can hitchhike back from outside the city.”

He Daqing thought that if he bought a ticket in the city, once he got on the bus, he would have to walk a long time to get back if he got off halfway.

If you go outside the city, after eating some steamed buns, lie to them that you will hitch a ride back to Baoding.

You don't have to walk a long way back from outside the city.

"As long as we get outside the city, you'll be able to give me steamed buns?"

"We keep our word."

"But there's only one bun, it's not enough to fill me up, I want more..."

Without saying a word, Wang Lili bought two more.

"We said we'd give you three, and we will give you three."

"Three is too few. With my appetite, I can eat at least ten."

"Our steamed buns are just to satisfy your cravings, not to fill you up. If you want to eat them, come with us. If you don't want to eat them, you don't have to come."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll go back to the courtyard house and find He Wenwen right now?"

"So you're going back on your word now? We're still hungry, we'll eat these buns."

I saw them pick up the steamed buns and were about to stuff them into their mouths.

He Daqing hurriedly stopped them: "Three it is fine, I'll go with you."

These two little girls are really amazing; he can't win an argument with them no matter what.

However, with three real meat buns, it's worth the trip outside the city!

He planned to eat the steamed buns outside the city before returning, hoping to catch He Hongyang on his way home.

He might just happen to arrive at the He family's mealtime, and then he'll get another meal.

The three of them walked very fast.

When they arrived outside the city, He Daqing was already panting heavily.

"We're already outside the city, hurry up and give me the steamed buns."

"But we didn't see any cars passing by. You wouldn't have eaten our buns and then changed your mind, would you?"

"Absolutely not. I always keep my word. You can ask around the whole courtyard; my character is absolutely impeccable."

The two sisters exchanged a glance and handed him the steamed buns.

"Here are three steamed buns. Don't forget what you promised us. We don't want to see you again!"

When He Daqing saw the steamed buns, his eyes lit up, and he patted his chest and said, "Absolutely no problem, you can go back without worry."

Seeing the two people leave, he grinned from ear to ear with delight.

I picked up the bun and took a big bite. Sure enough, it was filled with meat, and every bite was bursting with oil.

It's so delicious!

While eating, he sneered, "I didn't expect you guys to be so easy to fool. You only walked a few steps and you managed to get three steamed buns from me. If I had known this would happen, I would have agreed to your request sooner."

"Do you think I'm really going to leave? I'm not leaving this time. I'll go back for dinner after I finish eating the steamed buns."

"Are you trying to say I'm untrustworthy and dishonest? Bah! I've fallen so low, what's the point of keeping promises or being honest? Right now, as long as I can eat meat, I don't care what I have to do!"

"That's right! I'm just here to freeload, I'm just here to sponge off you guys."

"First I tricked your mother out of four steamed buns, and just now I tricked you sisters out of three steamed buns. When we get back, I'm going to trick He Hongyang out of a big bowl of three-delicacy dumplings."

"No, one bowl isn't enough, I'll eat at least two big bowls!"

He ate while he talked.

It was a delightful meal.

quickly!

He ate all three steamed buns in no time.

He Daqing felt that he was really too smart.

I've only been in Beijing for less than a day, and I've already eaten such delicious food.

If this were Baoding, he probably would never have had the chance to eat such delicious buns.

After finishing eating, I started to stroll back.

He hummed a little tune as he walked.

"Hahaha, I thought the women of the Wang family were beautiful and smart, but I didn't expect them to be all idiots who were easily fooled by my few words."

“You’re still young. I’ve seen more of the world than you’ve walked the roads. When you see me when you get back, you’ll definitely be surprised.”

"I'm just teaching you a lesson. Don't trust others easily in the future, and especially don't trust someone like me!"

"Hahaha, that's really satisfying, He Hongyang. It seems your mother-in-law and sister-in-law aren't much to be trifled with; I fooled them with just a few words!"

All of his words were overheard by Wang Lili and Wang Pingping, who were hiding behind a tree.

Actually, they never left.

Because they had long anticipated that He Daqing wouldn't leave like that.

He came all the way from Baoding to Beijing just to take advantage of the situation.

Even if you gave him 30 steamed buns, he wouldn't leave, let alone three.

He thought he was very clever and fooled the sisters.

Little did they know, the best was yet to come!

"Sis, just as you thought, he's a complete liar. He ate our buns and then called us stupid."

"Why bother arguing with someone like him? Besides, we're not just giving him steamed buns; there are other fillings inside."

"Hehe, you're so smart. But he ate all the buns, why doesn't he have any symptoms yet?"

"The herbs take a long time to take effect, but once they do, the effect is very strong. Let's wait patiently for a while longer."

The voice just fell.

He Daqing felt a bit of pain in his stomach.

At first, I thought it was because I ate too fast.

I dared not go any further and wanted to stop and rest.

But my stomach hurt more and more.

My stomach churned instantly, as if it were filled with a giant watermelon.

His face was deathly pale, and beads of sweat were already forming on his forehead.
