Chapter 154 Pulling a Cart of Playing Cards Over

In just three minutes, when Lin Youqian came in from outside, the banquet hall was already silent.

Qi Xu's casual words made everyone shudder.

"Hey, where did that Xiao Wang go just now? Ask him to bring the favor book so that the brothers can put the gift money in first?"

"Our banquet costs 88,000 per table, and this wine is 28,000 per bottle. We should at least get some profit to cover our costs, right?"

"Look at how loudly everyone is laughing. They must be full. Everyone, just give as much as you can! I wouldn't think thirty or fifty thousand is too little, and I wouldn't think thirty or fifty million is too much. Come on, start collecting from the table next to me!"

My god, this little cannon's wife's words are more lethal than General Li's military orders. Her starting price is 30,000 to 50,000, just like a butcher using an axe to chop meat. Who can afford it?

Many people want to spit out the delicious food and wine they have put into their mouths.

Xiao Wang was Lin Youqian's personal secretary, and he obeyed Master Pao's orders. After Qi Xu finished speaking, he actually presented the favor book and placed it in the most conspicuous center of the table.

"Thank you everyone. Who's going first? I'll register!"

Old man Li laughed and said, "Xiao Wang, you're such a blockhead. Your wife was just joking with us, and you took it seriously?"

Qi Xu picked up his wine glass and smiled. "Yeah, I was just joking with my brothers. Hey, why aren't you all laughing?"

You've even brought out the favor book to calm the situation, who dares to laugh? Just one laugh and you'll lose thirty or fifty thousand. Even if you choke to death, you dare not say a word.

Qi Xu put away the favor book and gave instructions to Xiao Wang.

"After everyone has eaten and drunk, buy some more playing cards and let everyone play a few rounds and have a good time."

Everyone buried their heads in their rice bowls, swallowing the white rice fiercely to stifle the trembling laughter in their throats. Many people choked to the point of tears, not even daring to cough.

This cute little sister-in-law is really powerful! She threw a boomerang and wiped out thousands of soldiers.

Lin Youqian looked at the people with different expressions and couldn't help asking. "What's this? What happened?"

Qi Xu's smile was as bright as the spring breeze.

"Nothing. I saw that the brothers were enjoying their meal, so I asked Xiao Wang to buy some playing cards for them to play with. There happened to be a lot of people, so two people could play against each other. Let me open my eyes and see what new tricks there are in the poker in your barracks."

"Puchi!" Lin Youqian was almost amused to death by this little woman.

Her tooth-for-tooth, eye-for-an-eye nature is truly adorable. Looking at the expressions of these rough men at this moment, it's more uncomfortable than swallowing shit.

The more arrogantly he laughed just now, the more cowardly he is now.

"Xiao Wang, go buy some quickly. Just bring a truckload of playing cards over here."

"Yes!" Xiao Wang ran out happily, but was stopped by old man Li with a stern shout.

"Stop, you stupid idiot. They're both doing nothing, and you're just an obedient lapdog."

Xiao Wang scratched his head and smiled, revealing his two small fangs. "Commander, are you really not going to buy it? I've loved playing poker since I was a kid, but I haven't played in three years since I joined the army. I was just thinking about playing a few rounds."

Many young soldiers from the artillery brigade chimed in. "Yeah, we want to play too."

Old man Li was speechless.

How could such a careless and perverted guy like Pao Ye marry such a naive young wife and bring a bunch of stupid and useless soldiers with him?

"What the hell! Don't you guys have enough fun playing with cannons every day? Why do you want to play some bullshit poker?"

"Puff—chi—!" This time many people really couldn't hold it anymore, and the rice balls that were forced into their mouths exploded into popcorn.

Looking at the banquet stained by saliva, Lin Youqian recalled the scene that happened with Lu Shishang at Aunt Su's house.

He smirked with a malicious smile. "Today's banquet, including the wine and meat, costs over a hundred thousand per table. No one is allowed to waste anything. You must finish everything before I can put down your chopsticks. Otherwise, whichever table hasn't finished will have to pay for it themselves."

The methods used by this couple are exactly the same, which really proves the old saying that if you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same house. There is no deviation at all.

The housewarming party turned into a feast for the eyes. Everyone gritted their teeth, suppressed their nausea, and ate with great joy.

Soon, Yang Nier was brought in by the guards. It was her first time in the barracks, and she had just been scolded by Pao Ye for no apparent reason, so her legs and feet were trembling as she walked.

When he saw Yoga Lin, he was so frightened that he was shaking with fear and couldn't control his words.

"Mr. Lin, you're looking for me!"

Lin Youqian's sharp eyes swept over her, carrying a strong warning.

Although there were some lies in what Tongtong said, she might not be a competent nanny, otherwise Tongtong would not have skipped classes to come to the military camp.

"Take the child home first and play with her. I'll deal with other matters after I get back."

Yang Nier squatted down humbly like an ancient maid, trying to please Tongtong in a soft voice.

"Miss, can you come home with your aunt? I'll swing with you and take you on the carousel, okay?"

Tongtong's temper flared up the moment she saw Yang Nier. She pushed Yang Nier down, grabbed her hair, and started crying.

"No, no, no, no, I hate you. I don't want to go home with you. I want to be with Daddy and live in Daddy's new house."

Lin Youqian was very dissatisfied with her rude behavior. "Tongtong, stop messing around and apologize to Aunt Yang. You can't bully the servants at home. Do you hear me?"

"I'm sorry!" Tong Tong apologized perfunctorily and rolled his eyes at Yang Ni'er. Then, he asked Lin Youqian again.

"Dad, I've already apologized. Can you take me to the new house?"

"No!" Lin Youqian said firmly. "Sister Qiqi just said that the new house is very small, with only three bedrooms. It's not enough for you, your aunt, and your tutor to live in."

Tongtong immediately took Qi Xu's hand and tried to please him obediently.

"Tongtong is very good and obedient. Sister Qiqi, can you please keep Tongtong? Tongtong can do his own things and help Sister Qiqi with her things. He doesn't need Auntie or the tutor."

Qi Xu was speechless. This child's smile seemed endearing on the surface, but in reality, it was truly unpleasant.

She had never seen such a tea-skinned child.

But she couldn't get angry at a four-year-old child in front of the leader and many officers and soldiers.

"No need for auntie? Who will cook for you? I can't even make scrambled eggs with tomatoes. No need for auntie? Who will take you to school? I have to sleep in every day and can't get up before 9 o'clock. No need for auntie? Who will wash your clothes and bathe you? Are you going to become a dirty child?"

Qi Xu's series of soul-searching questions left Xiao Cha Cha confused.

Zhou Ying only taught her to try every possible way to please Qi Xu, live in the new house, and win her father's favor. She never taught her how to deal with so many problems.

After thinking for a long time, she answered very cleverly, "I have a father. He can help me."

"Sister Qiqi, please don't despise me, okay?"
