In fact, the clan leader would not specifically send someone to invite someone or not, but in the past, if there was anything happening in the clan, someone would be sent to inform Old Dingtou. Therefore, Old Dingtou waited at home even though he knew that the clan had prepared a meal. He still thought that he was looked up to by the clan leader as before, and was waiting with airs for the clan leader to send someone to invite him.
But seeing that it was time for dinner and no matter how long he waited, his wife showed up, he lost his patience and became anxious, so Mrs. Meng became so angry that she started scolding him.

He thought that since everyone had gone to the ancestral hall to eat, he might as well go to those three families and try his luck. If he could steal the silver, the mere 150 taels of silver he owed to the gambling house would be nothing.
He didn't even eat and sneaked out to scout the place.
