She closed her eyes, rubbed her temples, and it took her a while to calm down. She picked up her phone and said to An Rugu, “Master, is her boyfriend alright? Will he cause trouble for our family later?”

An Rugu calculated with her fingers for a moment, then slowly shook her head. “It’s nothing.”

<Half an Acre of Peach Blossoms> breathed a sigh of relief, thanked her a few times, and then hung up the phone to go and educate her daughter.

…………

Ever since <Half an Acre of Peach Blossoms> read out those incredibly awkward chat logs, the livestream chat has been flooded with comments.

[I’m professionally trained and generally don’t laugh but now I absolutely can’t help it.]

[After hearing what the destined person’s daughter’s boyfriend said, I don’t need to use oil when I cook anymore.]

[I don’t know how <Half an Acre of Peach Blossoms> will discipline the child, but I think they still have too little homework. Giving them two big sacks will surely wake them up.]

[Plus one: Seeing this tragedy, I’m going to confiscate my ten-year-old son’s phone as a precaution.]

An Rugu did some calculations and realized that the destined person wanted to have her daughter stop dating and focus on her studies, but things didn’t go as planned, and she still secretly dated.

However, with the Peach Blossom Star in her destiny, she would be the one taking the initiative in relationships and wouldn’t suffer any losses.

She then contacted the third person she was destined to meet, <Brother Liu Who Owns a Restaurant>, and after communicating with him, she made a phone call.

Soon, a man in his forties appeared on the screen.

He was sitting on a bench, with a menu hanging on the wall behind him, as if he were in a restaurant.

The viewers in the livestream channel started their usual routine again.

[Welcome to the third great traitor!]

[Welcome to the third unlucky one!]

[Tell us about your bad luck and let us have a laugh.]

Seeing the call connect, he quickly put his cigarette in the ashtray to extinguish it. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the comments on the screen and laughed, “You guys are right this time.”

He looked up at An Rugu and eagerly got straight to the point. “Hello, host, I’m Brother Liu Who Owns a Restaurant. I’ve recently encountered a strange situation, and my employees are all very anxious. Do you think you can resolve this?”

“Pay the divination fee first, a high-powered gun salute.”

Brother Liu readily paid the divination fee and poured out his heart. “I live in a suburban area and run a small restaurant.

“I used to study cooking in a big city, and my skills are pretty good. I’m both the owner and the head chef. Maybe it’s because the food tastes good, but business is decent. A lot of people come here to eat regularly.

“However, I encountered some strange things a few days ago.”

He shivered, goosebumps rose all over his body, and a chill ran through him; he dared not speak.

An Rugu took a sip of black tea to moisten her throat, then put down the teacup. “What is it?”

“We are short-staffed and busy until very late. We don’t have time to clean up, so we usually come early to clean up the next day.

“When we opened a few days ago, I found that there were fewer leftovers in the refrigerator.

“These are vegetable leftovers, and they’re usually almost rotten. We plan to throw them away when the sanitation workers come the next day, which is more convenient.”

The viewers in the livestream immediately understood.

[Good heavens, you’ve been robbed! Change the locks right away.]

[Thieves come to steal money, so quickly check the cash register to see if any money is missing.]

[My shop has security cameras installed to prevent theft. Don’t you have any?]

When Brother Liu caught a glimpse of these comments, he felt like crying but couldn’t. He was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. “Our surveillance cameras broke down a long time ago. We just bought new ones after this incident, and they won’t arrive until tomorrow.

“Thieves are so common that I wouldn’t say it’s strange if I encountered an ordinary thief.

“We have some money at the cash register, but not a single yuaun was missing.”

Viewers in the livestream chat: “???”

[I don’t understand why thieves only steal food and not money.]

[This thief is really bizarre.]

Brother Liu slapped his thigh excitedly and added, “Moreover, he also washed the dishes. The kitchen was spotless, He put them back in their original places, and cleaned up all the other areas as well.

“When I came here the next day, I almost didn’t think it was my shop. The tiles were so clean they were practically reflecting light.”

Viewers in the livestream channel: “…”

[Are thieves these days so sensible? So sensible it’s heartbreaking.]

[The boss doesn’t have to deal with leftovers and gets a free cleaner, which is pretty good.]

[He might not be a bad person at heart; he’s just looking for a way to make a living.]

[In today’s society, people generally don’t go hungry, but there are inevitably times when people are desperate. Everyone’s situation is different; perhaps this person has encountered some kind of hardship.]

[Who says no one goes hungry in this society? Before, a family member was seriously ill, and I only had five yuan on me. When I went to pay for the noodles, I realized I didn’t have enough. The owner saw my situation and only charged me five yuan. Tears immediately streamed down my face. There are still many kind people in this society.]

[Plus one: Nowadays, many cities have restaurants that provide free meals to people facing difficulties. The owners are truly kind-hearted.]

[Am I the only one who thinks this is inappropriate? No matter what, it’s still stealing.]

[You’re not alone. If you’re having trouble, I can bring you food, but you can’t break into my house and steal.]
