Chapter 175: The Beam Wine
However, the final right of interpretation of the field belongs to the village. It cannot be sold, and can only be returned to the village if it is no longer needed.
So Wang Yong signed a lease with his family under the witness of the village committee, and he no longer had to eat at the Wang family's house.
As for hiring someone to help build the house, there would definitely be no one from the Wang family.
Chen Chunhua was speechless after hearing this. This family really had a miserable life.
"What are you going to do with your meals later?"
"Sanni told us to go back to Sihe Village to buy food, and she would sell it to me at cost price."
The cost price, purchase price and retail price increase in a step-by-step manner. If Sanni cannot control Old Lady Ma and the others, Dani can only buy grain at the purchase price they take to the grain station. The total amount of grain sold in a year will not be a small amount.
"Then your grandmother..."
Dani grinned, "Sanni said she can still make the decision on family matters."
The original words were more direct. Sanni said that if Old Lady Ma was unwilling to sell, then they should split up and cultivate their own land. Anyway, she would cultivate the acres of land of Dani and Erni, and she could still give them the lowest price for the harvested grain.
Chen Chunhua burst out laughing, it has to be Sanni.
…
Ma Dexiang arrived on time. As soon as the dishes were served, he and the village party secretary of Xiahe Village hurried over. He said that he had just finished a meeting in the township and apologized repeatedly.
The village party secretaries of the two villages came to eat. The villagers at another table who were helping to build the house seemed even more polite. They kept saying it was okay and pulled up stools, saying, "Come and sit here."
However, Old Mrs. Ma and Old Man Ma arrived later than the two village chiefs. When they arrived, everyone had already started eating.
Old Madam Ma's face was very unhappy. "We haven't even arrived yet, and you've already started the feast. You really don't care about us two old fools at all!"
Liang Shengdi had just finished eating a chicken drumstick, and when she heard this, her eyes rolled up.
"What kind of great immortal are you? Do we have to wait for you to arrive before we can start the banquet? Someone who doesn't know me would think you built this house. I have to offer it to you."
The truth is, Dani is already married. Today, the hosts of the wine-raising ceremony are Wang Yong and Dani. Wang Yong has separated from the family and Dani is married. If you really want to be precise, neither parent on either side can control them, let alone the generation above them.
Besides, banquets are always announced in advance, so relatives tend to arrive even earlier to help. It's okay if they don't help, as the meal can be served on time. Officials arrive on time, so who are you trying to show off to when you two are just farming next door?
Just as Mrs. Ma started to speak, she was suppressed by Liang Shengdi. Her face turned red with anger. She wanted to say something more, but Ma Dexiang pulled her over and pushed her into the seat.
"Hey, it's good that you're here. Come sit down and eat!"
He then placed his hands on his parents' shoulders, one on each side, and whispered in their ears, "There are so many people here, and Secretary Song is here too! Please give me some face!"
After saying that, he looked up and walked back to his own table with a smile, where a group of men started to clink glasses.
Old Mrs. Ma's anger was temporarily suppressed, but Chen Chunhua probably couldn't bear it for much longer, because they were sitting at the same table with Liang Shengdi.
There were three tables in total. Ma Dexiang's table was on the far left, the largest one, with 12 people sitting there, mostly men, drinking and smoking. Lin Guoqing, Wang Yong, and Zhao Degang were all dragged there.
The remaining two tables are smaller, both for 10 people. On the far right are the four children of Lin Guoqing's family and the last six children of Ma Dexiang's family.
Da Ni, Er Ni, San Ni, Lin Yulan, Chen Chunhua and Liang Shengdi were all sitting at the table in the middle. There were many empty seats, so when Old Lady Ma and the others came, they could only sit here.
Liang Shengdi had already been informed by her son and daughter-in-law. She knew they wanted to help Lin Yulan and was aware of their concerns. She didn't say anything at the time, but she would still roll up her sleeves and take part when she got the chance.
She fed herself half full first, then began to look up and down at the stern-faced old lady Ma several times in a sarcastic manner. When the two old ladies' eyes met, she raised her eyebrows.
"You came here empty-handed? You're so nice~"
Old Ma glared at him, "Do I have to bring any gifts when I come to my granddaughter's house for dinner?"
Liang Shengdi sneered, "People don't hold banquets for no reason. This is a wine ceremony for the beams of the family! If your family doesn't bring any hardware, you should at least bring a red envelope, right? I've been sitting here till now, and I haven't seen Yulan or Dexiang reaching into their pockets. I thought it was you two, old couple, who brought anything, but it turns out you really can't split it up."
Old Lady Ma's molars were gritting with the force of her teeth. If she were twenty years younger, she would probably have broken the chopsticks.
"Didn't Sanni pull over a wardrobe? Such a big one..."
"Hey, grandma, that was my eldest sister's dowry. The Wang family couldn't put it in there, so they kept it in our room. I'm returning it to her now, so it doesn't count as something I bought."
Sanni quickly interrupted Old Lady Ma's attempt to force her way in. Although she had secretly given her eldest sister a red envelope, she didn't want it, so it didn't count as her family not giving any gift.
Old Mrs. Ma was so choked by her granddaughter that her face turned black. However, she really had no way to deal with this rebellious third granddaughter.
Lin Yulan almost choked on her own saliva. She felt that her mother must be scolding her in her heart again. Her face flushed for a long time before she whispered to herself, "Mom... I, I don't have any money... Dexiang has been busy these two days, so I didn't have time to tell him about this..."
She couldn't make any money and couldn't manage the accounts. The children's money was in their own hands, and the money from selling grain at home was also in the hands of Old Lady Ma. She could only touch Ma Dexiang's salary, but she would ask him for it when she needed it, and it was not usually in her pocket.
So, usually it wasn't her turn to be responsible for the interpersonal interactions in this kind of situation. This was the first time someone had specifically pointed out that she didn't give a red envelope, and there were still her brother's wife and three daughters at the table! This made her face burn, and Lin Yulan wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Liang Shengdi glanced at her sideways and said, "If you don't have money, go make some. I'm an old woman, but I'm always thinking about how to make a few coins to spend on myself. How old are you? You want to stay at home and be a salted fish?"
Lin Yulan was really miserable. Did she not want to make money? Wasn't it because she didn't have any special skills and couldn't find anything to do? She couldn't go too far, and the family still needed someone to do the laundry and cooking...
"Isn't it possible to make money with just two hands? Could it be that..."
Liang Shengdi turned her sarcastically towards Old Lady Ma again, "My dear in-laws, you really are still as fond of keeping people tied up at home every day as before. In the past, you wouldn't let those children go out to study, and now you're not letting my daughter go out to earn money. What's going on? Do you think that just lying at home will bring you wealth?"
Old Ma was so angry that she slammed her hands on the table.
"When did I ever tell her not to go out and make money? If she's capable, then go ahead! The money they earn belongs to them anyway! What right do I, an old woman, have to say now?"
