Chapter 57 This is a misunderstanding

Just as the two of them raised their heads and drank it all, suddenly a loud shout rang in their ears.

"Chen Zhancai, you are such a heartless bastard! We are eating coarse food at home, while your family is eating and drinking lavishly outside. Do you still consider yourself a human being?"

Looking at the table full of food and wine, Chen Zhanliang was furious. His eyes turned red and he pointed at Chen Zhancai with trembling hands.

"You, you, you shameless prodigal son, have you studied so hard that you've lost everything? Someone's almost dead at home, and yet you take our family's hard-earned money and run off to town to have a good time. Do you have any conscience at all?"

Seeing Chen Zhanliang, Chen Zhancai was so frightened that his whole body shuddered and his smile froze immediately, "Second brother, why are you here?"

"Why am I here? If I hadn't come, would I have seen you so happy and carefree?"

"Second brother, calm down. This, this, this, this is all a misunderstanding!" Chen Zhancai looked guilty.

"It's a misunderstanding. The couple has already had a few drinks, and you still say it's a misunderstanding? Go back and lie to your parents with these words." Chen Zhanliang grabbed his collar and said, "Come on, go home with me and let your parents see how their most proud son has brought disaster to the family."

Liu Fengjiao's panicked expression flashed away, and she quickly stood up and chuckled, "Second brother, let go quickly, you really misunderstood Zhancai."

Chen Zhanliang looked at the table full of food and said, "Misunderstanding, I'm not blind. You call this a misunderstanding? You're just fooling a fool!"

Chen Zhancai was scared to death and was in a panic. If his parents knew that he was eating and drinking lavishly outside, it would be disastrous. He might even be banned from studying in the future.

If I don't study, I will have to stay in the village and be a peasant. No, I can't let that happen.

He quickly put on a smile and said, "Second brother, calm down and talk nicely."

"What are you talking about, you spendthrift bastard? Our family saves money from every penny to give you so that you can study hard, not so that you can enjoy yourself with your wife and children."

Chen Zhanliang was furious and refused to listen to any explanation. He kept grabbing Chen Zhancai and refused to let go.

Liu Fengjiao was so anxious that she was at a loss. If her mother-in-law knew that the four of them had used the money to eat and drink lavishly in town, she would be furious to death, but she would also suffer the consequences.

I have to find an excuse to cover this up quickly.

An idea suddenly came to her mind, and she slammed the table, "Second brother, quickly let Zhan Cai go. He's yelling and screaming, aren't you afraid of being laughed at? If the guests see him, how will Zhan Cai be able to behave in front of the teacher?"

Chen Zhanliang was startled and immediately let go of his hand. "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?"

"Second brother, you are so confused." Liu Fengjiao stamped her foot, pretending to be anxious. "This is a restaurant, not home. You can come if you want. Why are you losing your temper without knowing the truth? If this gets out, it will ruin Zhancai's future."

"What's going on? What did I misunderstand?" Chen Zhanliang was completely confused.

Chen Zhancai hadn't been puzzled at first, but when he saw the look in his wife's eyes, he instantly understood and snorted in an angry manner.

"Second brother, what can I say to you? Can you please speak properly? When you get angry, you just yell and scream. Fortunately, the guests I invited haven't arrived yet. If others saw this, you would be the sinner of our family."

"Hey, hey, what's going on? How did I become a sinner?"

"You are really my silly second brother."

Chen Zhancai straightened his clothes casually, his face darkening, "Do you know how much effort it took me to set up this banquet?

After three or five days of simple meals, he saved up a little money, just to ask the teacher in the academy to help him predict the questions in advance.

If I can guess right this time, I'll win in one fell swoop. Tell me, is this meal important or not?"

"So that's what's going on. I thought you were out having a good time without telling your family!" Chen Zhanliang scratched his head and felt something was wrong again. He frowned and said, "That's not right. When I first came in, you two were already drinking. You didn't look like you were waiting for anyone!"

Chen Zhancai's face froze, and he hurriedly explained, "Second brother, you don't know, that teacher is quite picky and doesn't like strong wines. Fengjiao and I were just trying this wine to see if it tastes good. If it doesn't suit our taste, we have to change it in advance."

"Yes, second brother, Zhan Cai is right. Let's just try it first." Liu Fengjiao said as she waved her hands at the two children, signaling them not to move.

"So you want to taste it." Chen Zhanliang glanced at the sumptuous dishes on the table and swallowed his saliva.

This was the first time I had ever been to a restaurant. I had no idea there were so many delicious dishes. "Old Three, what's that round thing?"

Chen Zhancai saw him pointing at the stewed lion's head and said casually, "Second brother, that's just an ordinary big meatball."

"It looks quite interesting. It turns out to be a big meatball made of tofu. That thing tastes so-so, not as good as stewed meat." Chen Zhanliang raised his hand and pointed again. "This one looks good and smells nice. What is this dish?"

"Drool chicken." Chen Zhancai was a little impatient.

"What the hell, saliva chicken? Such a good thing is made of saliva, oh my god, this is too disgusting."

Chen Zhanliang looked disgusted and said, "You guys really don't know how to order food. If you invite an old man to dinner, you should at least have enough for a few people. Isn't it a waste to cook chicken with drool?"

After saying that, he looked at the braised pork elbow and dry-fried fish and smacked his lips.

"I know these two dishes without you telling me. This one must be the big pork elbow. It's so juicy and delicious.

This is fried fish. I haven't tried it before, but it looks appetizing and I can't fault the taste. "

Seeing that his eyes were wide with greed, Chen Zhancai said unhappily, "Second brother, stop causing trouble here and leave quickly. It will be bad if the teacher comes and sees you."

Liu Fengjiao also frowned in disdain, feeling annoyed. What a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. Her meal was interrupted like this.

But how did he find this place?

No, we have to send him away quickly, otherwise the truth will be revealed if we take too long.

She asked with a fake smile, "Second brother, what are you doing in town? If you have nothing to do, leave quickly!"

"Oh, look at my head, you've made me so angry that I'm confused." Chen Zhanliang slapped his forehead and remembered the purpose of his visit. He looked anxious and said, "Zhancai, how much money is left of the money mother gave you? Hurry up and take it all and come home with me, otherwise someone in the family will die."

Chen Zhancai's heart tightened, "Second brother, if someone died, why did you ask me to bring the silver?"

"You don't know yet, butcher Li came to our house early this morning to make trouble. If we don't return the fifty taels of silver, he will tear our house apart and even go to the county government to sue us for marriage fraud."

Chen Zhanliang looked anxious and pulled Chen Zhancai to leave...
