The family hosting the banquet saw the Mo family approaching from afar, and their faces immediately fell. However, on such a joyous occasion, they couldn't bring themselves to say anything.
He could only lament inwardly, "Oh dear! What's wrong with the Mo family?"
Is the whole family here? So many people, are they trying to eat them out of house and home?!
They're having such a hard time!
After not holding a banquet for so many years, we finally made some money and got our son married. We wanted to celebrate and invited the villagers to join us. There's nothing wrong with that, right?
Everyone in the village sends two or three people as representatives; everyone knows this. So why is it that the Mo family doesn't follow this rule?
This sudden turn of events has put them in a difficult position!
It's very embarrassing to host a banquet if you don't have enough food!
The dishes were all pre-ordered, so with the Mo family coming, there definitely won't be enough food!
What are they supposed to do?!
There's no time to buy it now, it's almost ready to be served!
They couldn't kick them out, nor could they tell the Mo family not to bring so many people. Their family owed their current success to the Mo family's help, and they couldn't bring themselves to kick them out!
If you anger the Mo family, you might end up like some other people who never get any good opportunities. Wouldn't that be a huge loss for them?
Sigh! I've thought and thought, but I still can't come up with a solution that satisfies both sides. I'm so worried I'm going to go bald!
I was just thinking about whether I should adjust the portion sizes of the dishes and distribute them evenly so that I could have an extra table of food, but there would be less food and it wouldn't look very appealing!
Looking up, they saw Su Nanxi and the others approaching. Upon closer inspection, they were all stunned, and then they laughed so hard their eyes disappeared!
He pretended not to know and asked, "What's going on? Didn't the Mo family already give gifts? Why are they bringing so many things?"
Not only the host family, but even the villagers who came to the wedding were dumbfounded. What was this all about?
Everyone came with something, and what were they carrying? They smelled really good!
There's quite a lot of stuff there!
Is it a congratulatory gift?
If they send their congratulations, then this family will make a fortune by hosting a banquet!
But didn't the Mo family already give a gift? Why are they sending so much more now? Are the two families on very good terms?
Those things don't look ordinary at all. If only they were theirs! No, if only the Mo family would send just as many as they do when they hold their banquets in the future!
Su Nanxi smiled and said, "I don't know any of the rules. If I've done anything wrong, please tell me so I can correct it. It's the village custom for two or three people from each family to participate. I brought a whole bunch of things, which is indeed against the rules, but everyone wants to come and share in the joy. It wouldn't be appropriate to bring anyone, so I just brought them all! But we're not going to eat for free. I brought quite a lot of things, which should solve the problem. If you think what I did was inappropriate, that's okay. Just tell me, and I'll take them back."
Oh my god!
There aren't that many rules!
If they want to share in the joy, they are welcome to come; it would be their honor!
Rules and regulations can be changed; they're not like laws that are immutable!
In the past, people didn't have much money but cared about saving face, so they came up with this kind of custom. Actually, it didn't exist before!
They had no reason not to want to; there was no reason to refuse or drive away guests!
They also wanted more people to come and join in the fun, because more people means prosperity, which is a good omen!
It was just too sudden. The Mo family brought so many people over without any prior notice, which put them in a rather passive position. The main issue was the food!
After hearing what Su Nanxi said, and seeing that the Mo family children had already put the food up and opened it, they felt there was no problem!
The Mo family sent so many things over; these things only need to be cooked simply, and they are all fresh!
If you're quick, you can make it in time!
Seeing that there were no problems, Su Nanxi found a place to sit down.
Seeing how flustered they were, I suddenly felt that I might have done something wrong.
well!
Forgot about that! We should have informed them beforehand; this sudden disruption has ruined their plans!
What a blunder! What a blunder!
I won't do that again next time. It looks so weird, and people might start talking about it!
It is indeed possible to inadvertently provoke some people who will feel that this is a provocation against them, that they are showing off in a high-profile manner, and that they may even harbor hatred!
The bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it; this is probably true!
Believe it or not, there really are people who think Su Nanxi is doing this on purpose, showing off her wealth!
Although Su Nanxi sat quietly to the side, without interacting with anyone else, meaning she didn't flaunt her wealth or want the whole world to know she was rich, she was still hated by some people.
There was nothing they could do; they didn't have the means or the money. They could only send two or three people from each family. Others couldn't come even if they wanted to. But seeing the entire Mo family come made them very unhappy!
Why would someone want to break this custom out of the blue? Are they trying to go to heaven? They have to do everything in a different way, as if they're afraid others won't know!
But most people had no objections. The host didn't say anything, so why should they care?
The Mo family didn't come to eat for free; they brought a lot of things, so they earned their living through their own abilities!
This is perfectly normal! Happy occasions are meant to be celebrated with lots of people, that's what makes them better!
So, someone took the initiative to come over and greet Su Nanxi, and they even started chatting.
Su Nanxi naturally couldn't ignore them, and since she was free anyway, she decided to chat!
It's better than them sitting here and being stared at, feeling awkward!
Yes! Now it's not awkward to talk anymore!
The villagers all respect Su Nanxi, because the village's rapid development is all thanks to Su Nanxi!
It is essential to maintain good relations with the Mo family!
When something good happens, the first person people think of is definitely their closest friend!
Besides, they aren't ungrateful people. Boasting is a way for them to get closer and subtly express their goodwill!
Gao Yuling was also there, and she was quite adept at chatting. Gradually, the lively atmosphere shifted to Su Nanxi's table.
When villagers hold wedding banquets, they piece together tables, chairs, bowls, and chopsticks from other people's homes, and then return them afterwards. If they don't have enough tables and chairs, they go to other villagers' homes to bring them over.
The hosts did a great job; they immediately went and brought back tables and chairs, and even prepared extra.
You can sit and chat if you don't need it, or put things there.
While chatting, Su Nanxi learned what her host family was busy with.
She subtly observed the people present, and when she saw Guo Jiumei, she paused for a moment.
It's not that Guo Jiumei is strange to be able to attend a wedding banquet, but rather that her attire is strange!
Not long ago, Guo Jiumei was dressed smartly and showing off everywhere. How could she have changed so much in such a short time?
Is this a direct reversal of reality?
Her mother, who was standing next to her, was the same!
Something big must have happened!
A family tragedy, or perhaps, Chen San has finally made his move?
