Wang Tiemei didn't have a good relationship with people to begin with, and going door to door to borrow food and meat coupons today really put a strain on her.
Some families really didn't have meat coupons, some had meat coupons but were unwilling to lend them to her, and some not only refused to lend them but also said a few unpleasant words.
Wang Tiemei finally experienced the difficulty of borrowing money today. She heard more unpleasant words today than she had heard in her entire life combined.
"I'm not going. How can this be possible? My real in-laws are not here, and they took a group of outsiders to the restaurant.
I will return all the food and meat coupons right now, so I don’t have to owe anyone a favor.”
There were so many gifts but I didn't get any share. When my in-laws wanted to treat me to a meal, I had to pay for it myself and had to borrow food and meat coupons. I said all the nice things and suffered all the humiliation.
Wang Tiemei was already very angry, and now she found out that her in-laws left without waiting for her, and she immediately became unhappy.
"Silly woman, think about your youngest son. Do you still want to be the mother of a high-ranking official in the future?"
"But, but they are too bullying. I am Zhou Fengying's biological mother. They are in a hurry to leave before I even arrive. Where in the world do such relatives exist?"
They took a car to eat, and Wang Tiemei felt like a fool who rushed over to pay the bill.
"King Gou Jian of Yue slept on firewood and tasted gall, and Han Xin even suffered the humiliation of being kicked in the crotch. How can we compare to this?"
Zhou Ronghua also studied in a private school for a few years and has written a lot of short poems.
“Besides, the in-laws didn’t mean to not wait for you, he had no choice.
Do you know who booked a private room at the Zhongzhou Hotel today? The commander of the Luoshui City Military Region.
Although there was no third person around, Zhou Ronghua still lowered his voice.
"Tell me yourself, is it appropriate for such a high-ranking leader to be kept waiting in a restaurant?"
"That's really inappropriate. The commander of a military sub-district has to run errands for my in-laws. Boss, what level of leadership do you think my in-laws are?"
After listening to Zhou Ronghua's explanation, Wang Tiemei lost her temper instantly and became curious about Xiao Qingyang's position.
"It's hard to say, but my relative isn't an official in Luoshui City, and I haven't seen his name in the newspaper.
The in-laws are either provincial cadres or cadres in the capital. No matter where they are, their rank is definitely not low. "
It’s funny that the couple doesn’t even know where their daughter will settle down.
Their focus has never been on their daughter. What they care about is what benefits they can get from their in-laws.
"Boss, let's hurry over there. If we don't, the banquet won't start. Don't keep my in-laws and his commander friend waiting for too long."
After some deduction, the two concluded that their father-in-law was an unimaginably powerful leader, and Wang Tiemei in turn began to urge Zhou Ronghua.
The two of them locked the door, ran downstairs, pushed their bicycles downstairs and headed to the restaurant.
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. I treated my daughter badly back then, and now I can't even get a seat in the car."
"Who says it's not true? The old idea of favoring sons over daughters, now I know that daughters are the ones with the most potential, how ridiculous."
"Pan Xia is truly far-sighted. She's taken care of her niece since she was little, and now that she's grown up, she's still very close to her. Pan Xia will be blessed in the future!"
…
Today is the weekend, and before midnight, the workers' families are squatting in the yard with their bowls of food, eating.
"If I wasn't in a hurry, I would have torn the mouths of these gossipers apart."
Wang Tiemei was in a hurry to go to the restaurant and had no time to argue with them. She thought that she would wait until her son became a big leader before settling accounts with them one by one.
"We will all be people of status in the future. We shouldn't argue with them. They will cry later."
Zhou Ronghua is also full of confidence in his family's future.
Along the way, Zhou Ronghua carried Wang Tiemei and pedaled very fast, and soon arrived at Zhongzhou Hotel.
At the entrance of the hotel, there were two soldiers standing guard. They looked at Zhou Ronghua and his wife with scrutiny, but perhaps they felt that they posed no threat, so they did not approach them to question them.
"Comrade, do you want to eat?"
The receptionist saw the two people looking around in the hall and they didn't look like they were eating, so she immediately became alert.
"Comrade, we're looking for the people who came in those three jeeps outside. Where are they now?"
The two of them scanned the hall but didn't find any familiar figures.
"What is your relationship with them?"
A group of people did come just now, and Commander Lin personally went downstairs to take them to the Peony Hall upstairs.
"We are relatives. Something just delayed us."
Zhou Ronghua put his hands behind his back, cleared his throat, and his voice rose an octave.
"Please wait a moment. I'll go up and ask for you."
The front desk called a colleague and asked him to go upstairs to confirm the identities of the two people.
"Dad, Mom, we are on the second floor."
Zhou Fengcheng followed the waiter down from upstairs.
"Really? Why didn't you even come down to greet us?"
The expected arrangement did not appear, which made Wang Tiemei a little dissatisfied.
"Don't say what you shouldn't say. If you can't even control your own mouth, how can your in-laws feel confident in promoting your son?"
Zhou Ronghua glared at Wang Tiemei and said in a low voice.
The couple followed Zhou Fengcheng up to the second floor and saw soldiers standing guard at the stairs and at the door of one of the private rooms.
"My dear in-laws, please forgive me, I bet everyone is waiting impatiently!"
As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Ronghua said with an apologetic tone.
But when he saw the state of everyone in the box, Zhou Ronghua felt as if his throat was pinched and he could no longer utter a word.
Unlike what they had imagined, everyone did not wait for the couple to come before starting the meal, and had already started eating and drinking.
Especially Zhou Fugui, who didn't have a high alcohol tolerance, was now flushed in the face and had drunken eyes.
What’s even more infuriating is that there was no seat left for the couple at the main table, but there were two empty seats at the children’s table.
But his two sons and his daughter-in-law, his second son's two sons, and a little girl he had never met had already eaten most of the food on the table.
Xiao Qingyang arrived an hour earlier than them, and the jeep would definitely be faster than the bicycle, so at most it would be an hour and a half.
The banquet was almost over. The host table was harmonious and the atmosphere was warm. The young generation at the table were eating with their mouths full and their stomachs filled with food.
The couple stood there awkwardly, feeling both ashamed and annoyed, and Wang Tiemei's body was trembling slightly.
"Boss, you guys from the boss's house, what are you still standing there for? Find a seat and sit down!"
Chai Sujuan was also speechless about her eldest son and his wife who had no color. Neither her eldest granddaughter nor her in-laws gave them a good face, but they still had the audacity to chase after her.
"Mom, we want to sit too, but there's no room left. You can't let us sit at the kids' table, right?"
Wang Tiemei spoke loudly, she was deliberately testing her in-laws' attitude towards them.
