"Well, we'll pack up and leave in a moment."
The two men were full of fighting spirit when they arrived, but were discouraged when they left. Especially Boss Zhao, he was almost doubting his life. Not to mention others, even he himself was wondering if he had read the wrong paper or replaced someone with the same name.
Not only is the gap huge, but he has really not been able to make any further progress in these years.
It turns out that he is not even as good as Zhao Dashu?
The day before the banquet, Zhao Dashu personally returned to the farm to watch them slaughter pigs, chickens, and ducks. The pigs were raised at home, and the rest was purchased from their own farm. "I wonder if we can finish all the meat?"
"Master, don't worry. If we really let them eat their fill, it might not be enough. But there are still many people in the village. Leave ten or so people here. If there are not enough, we can kill them at any time."
Is that not enough?
Zhao Xiaoyu bought melon seeds, all packed in sacks. She used homemade candies and made snacks in her own kitchen. The kitchen was filled with sweet aromas these past two days.
As for the wine, they ordered small jars, one jar for each table. She was afraid that giving too much wine would cause trouble, so each small jar was about half a bowl per person, just enough for the sake of presentation.
The rice, flour and grain shops will deliver them to your door.
Old house.
Zhao Dawen had been vomiting for the past two days. He hadn't expected Zhao Dashu to be so ostentatious. A village banquet wasn't enough; he actually went so far as to host a buffet. Wouldn't it be nice to divide the money between him and Lao Er? They could each build a nice, large house.
Heartless bastard!
He also felt embarrassed. Wang said that all she heard was people praising Zhao Dashu and comparing him to others. He didn't want to go out at all.
But my mother has been like a madman lately. She not only runs around the village but also goes outside the village, telling everyone that she has a great son.
Old Sun has indeed been feeling a little high and mighty these days. Everyone in the village envies her, and wherever she goes, people praise her, making her unwilling to go home.
She is now the most blessed old person in Laozhu Village!
"Boss, will you attend the banquet tomorrow?"
Zhao Dawen gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I must!"
If he guessed correctly, besides a bunch of peasants, there should be many wealthy families in the county town, and he wanted to curry favor with them. As Zhao Dashu's elder brother, others would definitely give him face, and no one would mention the things he did back then.
He might be able to return to the city...
Mrs. Zhao had already informed her natal family and Zhaodi's family. "Master, the Third Brother is too dishonest. He informed the Song family relatives, but why didn't he inform our relatives?"
"He's just like that. Everything just depends on his mood. You're not stupid and you'll know it on the first day. Besides, our notice is the same. There's no point in fussing over it."
"I'm not happy."
"There's nothing I can do if you're unhappy. I know why you're upset. You're worried about the money, and you're upset that the third brother, even though he's so rich, won't help us."
Mrs. Gui pursed her lips and said nothing.
The man's words touched her heart. She was so distressed about the money that she almost died. It would be better to save the money to support them instead of giving it away to strangers.
They have no objection to inviting villagers to a banquet, but why invite people from other villages? They don’t even know them. At most, they will praise Mr. Zhao for being generous. What’s the point?
My mother-in-law is not in the right mind either. She is going crazy with the third child. Look how happy she is...
It's only because of you that we are here. Tianyi misses you so much.
"Master, you said their master is dead, what will happen to our Sanzhuzi in the future?"
"What should we do? We'll send him to the county town soon. We can't control him at home, but he'll be well behaved at school, where he'll have his own teachers to look after him. All the other kids are studying, so how can he play?"
The Song family wanted to say something but stopped themselves, as the head of the family was still focused on supporting Sanzhuzi.
"When will Dazhuzi kiss?"
"Aren't you fine today? Let's talk to our in-laws and get married as soon as possible."
How fast is as soon as possible?
"It's reassuring to have a family. I suspect Xiaoyu will get married soon too. Although the third brother hasn't said anything yet, Xiao Lei is already a scholar, and there are the Xiao clan members who are eyeing him covetously. Dazhuzi is older than Xiaoyu, so he will definitely get married before her."
Mrs. Gua didn't care. "Speaking of age, except for Li Xi and the one in my arms, everyone is older than Xiao Yu. The older family members aren't in a hurry, so why should we be?"
"You don't understand. The third brother will definitely do it in a big way. If we do it first, at least no one will complain. If we do it later, people will compare with the third brother's family. How can we compete? Let's stay out of the spotlight."
Mrs. Gui agreed with what she thought. Xiaoyu was obviously dressed up in a luxurious way that they could not imagine.
Forget it, forget it. It’s better to hide than to hide. Just marry Dazhuzi’s wife as soon as possible. If possible, she wants to do it with Erzhuzi as well.
"Xiaoyu, how about I wear this tomorrow?"
"It looks great, mother. Wear the hibiscus headdress we bought in the capital."
"What are you wearing?"
"I'm wearing Shi Liu's outfit, it looks festive."
"Clan leader, tomorrow is Zhao Dashu and Xiao Lei's wedding banquet to celebrate the successful candidate. How did your conversation with Xiao Lei go?"
Recently, countless people in the village have been looking at Xiao Lei with affection. The unmarried girls in the family praise Xiao Lei for his talent and his tall and handsome stature. In short, they say that he is good in every way.
They scolded her several times but it was no use, the girl was too shameless.
"It's nothing, forget it. He's a wolf cub, not someone you or I can control. He can do whatever he wants. After all, his last name is Xiao, so he won't refuse us completely if we ask for his help."
"What, he doesn't want to come back?"
"No, he really cares about the daughter of the Dashu family. Let's not think about anything else. This kid is cruel. It won't be good for us if he offends him."
"But he is a member of our Xiao family."
"He doesn't even pay attention to his own father. How can we be considered family if we share the same surname as you? When he was suffering, did you ever say he was family with you?"
No one spoke.
"Come on, put away all your little thoughts. You might even have to attend his and Xiaoyu's wedding soon."
Everyone had complicated thoughts. They didn't expect that Xiao Lei was such a sentimental person that he was willing to sacrifice his own future for Zhao Xiaoyu.
"Is there really no other way?"
"No, if we continue, we might offend him to death. Let's stop now. We might need to rely on him in the future."
What a pity, such a pity!
Everyone couldn't help but sigh in regret.
