The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Brain Gnawed in Half by a Mutant Beast

Shen Lu froze for a second, then immediately understood.

"The food is warmer when it’s served fresh. Next time, go get the food from the restaurant yourself. I’m very busy."

"Huh? But..." Yang Jing hadn’t expected Shen Lu to not only reject her suggestion but also tell her to get the food herself. "Wouldn’t that be... inappropriate?"

"What’s inappropriate about it?"

"I..."

"Then it’s settled. I’m very busy," Shen Lu reiterated. "It’s best if you handle these small tasks yourself."

’She’s just insecure and afraid of seeing people. Fine, I’ll give her some exposure therapy. It’ll be good for Yang Jing to see people every day.’

Shen Lu didn’t think Yang Jing’s presence would give customers a bad impression of the restaurant.

Although Yang Jing’s clothes were old, they were clean and tidy, so she wouldn’t disgust anyone.

Dazed and confused, Yang Jing carried the three meals back to the corrugated iron shack.

The moment she stepped inside, Liu Yaozu loudly ordered her to bring him the food.

"What took you so long? I was about to starve to death!" Liu Yaozu picked up a braised pork meal set and began to wolf it down. In the blink of an eye, he had devoured the fist-sized portion of braised pork.

Then, as if it were his right, he took the other meal, a Kung Pao chicken. He wasn’t fond of the fish head with chopped chilies, so he only picked at it a few times with his chopsticks.

Liu Qiang was resentful, but the aroma of the food was too tempting. He scowled but started eating anyway.

Yang Jing waited until her husband and son had eaten their fill before she ate the leftovers.

The meat was all gone, leaving only some vegetables and the soupy sauce from the dishes.

Yang Jing still ate with relish. Compared to the dry, scratchy Insect Cakes, this was a feast for the gods.

Liu Yaozu rubbed his bulging stomach, thoroughly satisfied.

He had been looking forward to this delicious meal since yesterday, only forcing down a few bites of Insect Cake when he was starving. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Liu Qiang smacked his lips. "Why didn’t you bring any soup? Eating this is so dry."

Liu Yaozu readily agreed. "Mom, remember to bring soup tomorrow."

As she gathered the trays, Yang Jing said, "But... I couldn’t carry anything else."

"Don’t you have a brain? If you can’t carry it all in one trip, why not make two?" Liu Qiang said disdainfully. "Besides, what about Shen Lu? Is she dead? You couldn’t ask her to help carry some of it?"

"Little Deer is very busy..."

"How many minutes could bringing soup take? We’re her biological parents!" Liu Qiang raised his voice. "That ungrateful girl does nothing but drag us down! If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have been stabbed! She has no sense of gratitude or guilt, and she even throws us into this tin shack! If I’d known I was having a creature like her, I would’ve strangled her at birth!"

"Honey, Little Deer isn’t like that," Yang Jing clumsily defended her daughter. "She... she has her reasons."

"What reasons could she have? She just despises the poor and fawns over the rich!" Liu Qiang glared at her. "Why are you always defending her? Did she give you something?!"

Yang Jing quickly waved her hands. "N-no."

"You’d better hope not, or I’ll make you pay! And I’ll make her pay, too!"

Liu Qiang said viciously.

Liu Yaozu leaned against the headboard, watching coldly without a word.

’As long as Liu Qiang just runs his mouth in private and doesn’t stir up trouble in front of Shen Lu, I can’t be bothered to get involved.’

’No one is going to stop me from latching onto this gravy train.’

’Life is decent enough now, it’s just so boring having to look at Liu Qiang and Yang Jing’s old faces every day.’

’I miss my three bros.’

’I wonder where they are now.’

’When Shen Lu went to check out of the hotel last time, she didn’t mention my three brothers when she got back. She probably didn’t run into them.’

’Good thing, too. If she had, wouldn’t the fact that I sent them to teach her a lesson have been exposed?’
