Yuan Dasheng propped his elbows on the table and rested his chin on his hand: "Damn it, they're drinking rice wine... not beer..."
Best man Liu Zining also sat on the stool, not wanting to move, and had no energy to respond to the other brothers' teasing.
The alcohol gradually took effect.
Yuan Mengge brought her bowl in and squeezed in next to Hu Yuanyuan and her own mother. While eating some food from the table, she asked them, "How is it? Is it alright?"
Hu Yuanyuan looked at her and nodded: "It's alright."
Then he quietly said to her, "Thank you."
Li Xue'e stared at Yuan Mengge thoughtfully, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
The feeling she got from Yuan Pingping today was completely different from when she had met her before.
Li Xue'e had visited the Yuan family many times before, but each time her sister-in-law would give her a hard time and act as if she didn't like her.
She sometimes bought her small gifts, but Yuan Pingping never accepted them.
They didn't say much, but every time Yuan Pingping spoke to her, she never said anything nice.
In short, he looked down on his sister-in-law.
But her attitude completely changed today, like she was a different person.
Li Xue'e couldn't help but suspect that Yuan Mengge might be plotting something behind the scenes...
But hearing what she said to Hu Yuanyuan before, it seemed like she was doing it for their own good?
When the bride and bridesmaids returned, the groomsmen began filling their glasses with wine and taking turns to swarm them.
They were relatively polite to the bride; they did the cooking themselves, and the bride did as she pleased.
But when it came to Hu Yuanyuan, it became a matter of her doing it, and the other party had to do it too.
Whoever doesn't finish their drink will be punished with three cups.
You can't ask others for help either; anyone who tries to drink for you will be penalized with three cups.
In short, they used every kind of drinking table trap to get Hu Yuanyuan to fall into it.
The other sisters were only familiar with Li Xue'e, not with Hu Yuanyuan. Besides, helping her fend off drinks would mean being punished with three drinks, so no one was willing to help her.
Yuan Mengge sat beside them, watching them.
At first, she didn't stop her, but after Hu Yuanyuan drank a few cups, her expression changed.
Li Xue'e quickly stopped them: "Alright, alright! That's enough! Are you really going to get my bridesmaid drunk?"
The groomsmen: "Hey, sister-in-law, don't say that. She's a bridesmaid, she's just here to drink. Otherwise, why did you ask her to be your bridesmaid?"
Haha~~ That's right~
In this era and according to local custom, the bridesmaid's job is to shield the bride from drinking, so everyone else naturally tries to get the bridesmaids to drink.
For them, it would be a huge loss of face not to get the bridesmaids drunk.
Seeing that Hu Yuanyuan's expression was off, Yuan Mengge suddenly slammed her hand on the table and said to them, "I'll drink it for her."
She knew that Hu Yuanyuan had a low alcohol tolerance, which was bad when she was young and hadn't improved much even in middle age.
But Yuan Mengge's aunt has a very high alcohol tolerance; she's the kind of person who can drink a lot without getting drunk.
