Chapter 208: Zhang's mother is looking for trouble, and guests are coming

According to the custom in Qingpu, guests are usually invited to have lunch at noon.

It was a rare day that Zhang's mother did not go to set up the stall, so the family of three came over the night before. The next day when Zhang's mother got up, she still felt dizzy. She looked at the small alarm clock beside her and saw that it was only five in the morning. She turned around and saw Zhang's father snoring loudly, so she simply kicked him awake.

Zhang's father was sleeping soundly, but was kicked by Zhang's mother. He jumped up in fright, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Mother Zhang said unhappily, "What could possibly happen? This bed is too soft. I'm not used to sleeping on it."

Father Zhang sighed in frustration, pointed at Mother Zhang and was speechless for a moment, and sighed: "I said this bed was specially made for you by your daughter, even the mattress is an imported latex mattress, one bed costs seven or eight thousand! And this quilt is also made of silk, the life of rich people is just like this, you just can't enjoy the life! I won't talk to you anymore, it's still early, I need to sleep for a while!"

After saying that, Zhang's father was about to lie down, but Zhang's mother kicked him again, "Why are you sleeping? We are having a dinner party today, and there will definitely be a lot of people waiting. Why don't you get up quickly and prepare to wait for the servants to come?"

Father Zhang was stunned, his eyes widened, "Didn't we hire a chef? We also set up a tent outside the villa. The tables and chairs will be delivered later, and they will be responsible for taking them back after use. You don't even have to wash the dishes. What else do you want to get up and prepare?"

"The fruits don't need to be washed? The snacks don't need to be prepared? It makes you sound so simple!" Zhang's mother said stubbornly.

Father Zhang realized that Mother Zhang was trying to make him suffer even though she was suffering herself. He let out a depressed breath, then resigned himself to his fate and got up to wash.

Zhang Wanwan, who was in the master bedroom next door, had no idea what had happened. She was still sleeping soundly. Mother Zhang was afraid of waking her up, so she was very careful when opening the door. Father Zhang became even more depressed. The difference in treatment couldn't be so obvious!

Around nine o'clock, Li Yongfu and others came over one after another, but Zhang Wanwan hadn't gotten up yet.

This was the first time that Li Yongfu and Li Meili came here. They were timid and looked at each other before they even entered the villa gate.

Li Meili pulled Zhao Guoqing's clothes and whispered, "Oh my god! How much does this house cost?"

Before coming here, she thought the three-story buildings in her village were very high-end, and she thought every day about building a three-story house by herself and decorating it well. Now, after seeing Zhang Wanwan's villa, she suddenly felt that the three-story building of her dreams was like a slum and was not presentable at all.

Zhao Guoqing nodded seriously and said, "It must be over a million! Let's not talk about anything else. Just say that the decoration outside is not cheap. But my sister-in-law and her family have money, so as long as they can build it, we don't need to ask about other things."

In Zhao Guoqing's opinion, even if he asked them, they couldn't afford to build such a house, so it was better not to ask, otherwise he would not be able to sleep well.

Li Meili nodded and slowed down to let Li Yongfu and others go in first.

Zhang's mother had been looking out in the courtyard. When she heard the noise, she hurried out to check. Seeing her brothers and sisters, she immediately smiled and said, "I've been looking forward to you coming over since early morning. Come in and cool down quickly. It's too sunny outside!"

A group of people followed Zhang's mother into the villa hall, and exclamations rang out.

Zhao Xiaojun is an outgoing person, and she immediately said loudly: "Aunt, this villa is so beautiful! It's better than the villas of the rich people in TV dramas!"

Mother Zhang said with a smile, "That can't be compared! You guys come over quickly and have a seat. Oh, Xiaojun, ask Chen Jie to come over to join in the fun, and invite his parents as well. This is the first time our family has hosted guests in all these years, so the more people come, the better!"

Upon hearing this, Li Meili immediately asked Zhao Xiaojun to call Chen Jie.

Zhao Xiaojun smiled sweetly. Nothing could make a person in love happier than for their partner to be accepted by their family.

The others sat down one after another. Li Qingqing didn't see Zhang Wanwan, so she asked, "Aunt, where is my cousin?"

Mother Zhang looked at the time, slapped her head and said in annoyance, "Oh no! I forgot to wake that girl up. She must still be sleeping! You guys sit down first, I'll go wake her up."

"Aunt, can we go up and have a look?" Zhao Xiaojun said coquettishly after finishing the phone call.

"What's wrong with that? Just come up!" Zhang's mother stood on the stairs and waved at them. All the women went up, even Lu Cui and Li Meili.

Zhang's mother led them and said, "Wanwan originally planned to use the first floor for entertaining guests, the second floor for receiving close relatives and friends, and the third and fourth floors for herself, so the hall on the second floor is relatively small. By the way, why didn't my second brother and his wife come with you?"

As she was talking, Zhang's mother knocked on Zhang Wanwan's door and asked, "Are you awake?"

After a while, Zhang Wanwan's soft voice came from inside, "You're awake, mom, come in."

Zhang's mother pushed the door open, and everyone exclaimed again after seeing the decoration inside. There is no woman who doesn't like beautiful and comfortable things. Zhang Wanwan's room is decorated in a luxurious style, with all the fabrics made of silk, even the suspender skirt she was wearing, which immediately improved the style.

Zhang Wanwan never expected that there were so many people following her mother. She was so scared that she quickly pulled the quilt over herself. After making sure that there was only a woman, she breathed a sigh of relief, climbed off the bed and ran to the bathroom.

Li Meili said, "They say that daughters should be raised in wealth. I just started to understand why. Look at the way Wanwan is dressed. She is so different!"

She couldn't tell exactly what the difference was, but she just felt that Zhang Wanwan was very noble and not on the same level as them.

Zhang's mother laughed and scolded, "Nonsense! It's still the same, she just wore a new set of pajamas. She didn't plan to wear new ones in the first place. I think it's troublesome to bring clothes here, so I just put a few sets here. These are all bought as a set."

When Zhang Wanwan came out of the bathroom, she had changed into a fresh dress. Her long hair was scattered behind her head, making her look dignified and quiet.

Even Lu Cui couldn't help but give a few compliments.

Zhang Wanwan poured them some water and asked, "Where are my second uncle and aunt?"

Li Meili suddenly realized and said, "They! Thanks to your family, they are now busy with the project and cannot stop for a day. I guess they will come over during the lunch break."

Speaking of Li Yongshou's family, Li Meili was also happy for them. They made a lot of money by taking on Zhang Wanwan's projects, and now they have taken on new projects. The appointments are scheduled until the year after next. They can make tens of thousands of yuan by building a house for others, and the couple can earn more than 100,000 yuan. It is enough to complete two or three projects a year, which is much better than working as laborers on the construction site. According to this momentum, Li Yongshou's family will be able to get up in a few years. Once this man has money, he will be able to speak with confidence, and his status in the village will be much higher. Isn't this what the villagers want?
