Perhaps due to the aftermath of the natural disaster, many shops in the city are still closed and there are not many pedestrians on the streets.
The group was quite large, so they attracted a lot of attention along the way.
But everyone is just curious. It is not as easy to be recognized as in Beijing. People often warmly invite me out when I am shopping.
Because they had to continue on their journey, the two best friends basically only bought food.
Northern Jiangsu has its own special food, which is almost twice as cheap as the prices in Beijing!
"Buy more of this, Jinheai should eat it." Li Sisi said.
With a bunch of free labor around them and plenty of money, the two best friends spent a lot of money.
Soon, several servants' hands were full of things.
"After walking all the way, let's find a place to rest?" Li Nian suggested.
Li Sisi happened to look at a teahouse and said, "Let's go and try some tea from northern Jiangsu."
After being here for so long, Li Sisi has slowly begun to be able to taste the quality of tea.
A group of people entered the teahouse.
This teahouse has two floors, and they still followed their usual habit and went directly to the private room on the second floor.
When the double windows of the second-floor box are opened, you can see the entire first-floor lobby.
Li Sisi held the teahouse menu in her hand: "What do you want to eat?"
Li Nian said, "I ate too much meat at noon, it was a bit greasy."
Li Sisi suggested: "How about ordering a pot of tea and some fruit?"
Li Nian nodded: "Okay." She turned her head to look at Xiao Yunyu, "What do you want to eat?"
"Same as you."
Li Sisi looked at Xiao Yunchen: "Chenchen, what about you?"
"A pot of tea will do."
Li Sisi: "Okay then, I'll order myself a crispy cake."
Li Sisi handed the menu to the waiter: "That's all for now."
"Okay, please wait a moment, distinguished guests!" The waiter retreated.
The square wooden table is placed next to the window. Even when you are sitting, you can see the scene on the first floor by just stretching your neck slightly.
If some guests speak louder, I can hear them clearly.
"Eh? Isn't this the grandson of the Zheng family?"
"He is indeed a grandson. His own wife was snatched away by his own grandfather. Hahahaha"
After two loud laughs, there was a burst of laughter from downstairs.
Li Sisi quickly stretched her neck to look downstairs.
I saw a young man in a long gown being blocked by several young men, one of whom even pushed the young man arrogantly.
"Why are you running? Tomorrow is the wedding day of your wife and your grandfather. We brothers have taken good care of you. You should invite us to your home for a drink at the wedding."
The young man in the long gown blushed, but he didn't dare to refute a word.
"He's too cowardly, isn't he?" Li Sisi clenched her fists and waved them, "Go and beat him up!"
Li Nian also came over curiously.
Li Sisi pointed in the direction of the young man in the long gown and said, "I guess that's the grandson of Mr. Zheng, the old man next door to Shopkeeper Liu."
Li Nian nodded: "It should be."
Li Sisi heard her voice of agreement and shook her head: "No wonder his wife ran away with someone, this guy is too cowardly!"
Li Nian said: "Maybe he has something to hide."
"No matter how much he has to hide, he shouldn't be humiliated in public like this, right?" Li Sisi's face was filled with disapproval. "What's the difference between this and pulling off his pants in public?"
Hearing her description, Li Nian almost laughed out loud and echoed, "That might be the difference between revealing and not revealing, right?"
The other two men in the room seemed to be accustomed to such interactions between the two, and drank tea and ate melons leisurely and calmly.
Other people downstairs were also eating melons.
The Zheng family is a well-known local wealthy family in North City and has considerable wealth.
When the old man of the Zheng family was young, he was a decisive and resolute person. Since he took over the power of the family, the Zheng family has been thriving.
I never thought that when he was old and half of his body was buried in the earth, he would do such a stupid thing that was immoral and corrupt.
Zheng Yufu's face looked extremely ugly, and his face flushed with shame and anger. He had no choice but to lower his head, as if this could help him escape his embarrassing situation.
Seeing how cowardly he was, the others became even more proud and arrogant, and their tone became even more unpleasant.
Seeing Zheng Yufu's behavior, others became more and more contemptuous of him.
"Zheng Yufu, I'm telling you, it's okay for us to go to your house tomorrow and have a drink at your wedding, right?"
Zheng Yufu nodded: "Come whenever you want."
Several people seemed to have not expected him to be so cowardly, and were stunned for a moment.
Then there was another burst of laughter.
Even the tea drinkers who were watching the fun couldn't help but say a few words loudly.
"You two have such a good relationship, it's not right for you to only drink at his wife's wedding."
"That's right! We have to drink two rounds tomorrow! Although it's the grandfather who's marrying his grandson's wife, as good brothers, you still have to discuss it separately. You have to drink the grandson's wife's wedding wine, and you have to pay for your share as well!"
"Don't you think so? Zheng's grandson?"
Zheng Yufu lowered his head and said nothing.
The young man closest to him suddenly kicked him in the chest: "I'm asking you a question. Are you deaf? Answer me now!"
Zheng Yufu still lowered his head, his hands clenched into fists, and replied in a low voice with embarrassment and helplessness: "Yes."
"You bastard, haven't you eaten? Answer louder!"
"Pa!" A crisp and loud slap sounded in the lobby of the teahouse.
Zheng Yufu covered his slapped face and said in a slightly louder voice, "Yes!"
“Hahahahahaha…”
There were more bursts of laughter.
Li Sisi was speechless.
"Do you have to be so cowardly? Is he still a human being? How can he be so patient!"
At this time, several men walked into the teahouse lobby.
The jokes suddenly stopped.
Among the men, there was a man in brocade robes whose eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Zheng Yufu.
His face was gloomy and ugly, and he shouted, "What are you talking about so happily? Why don't you tell me so that I can hear it too?"
