"Son, Mom has money to buy meat, but she doesn't want it. But what can I do if she doesn't want it? Mom has to raise you. Son, sleep well. Mom will go buy meat and buy some more for you. When the old rice comes back, when you can eat food in a while, mother will grind the old rice into paste for you to eat. My son, be good, and go to bed after you are full——"

Zhao Yuefang patted her son in her arms and put him to sleep before leaving the alley with the child in her arms.

The banquet at the Yan Mansion on the other side has already begun.

After Tuanzi made his appearance, he was carried back to the courtyard by two wet nurses to nurse.

Xiao He and Chang Fu stood on either side of Yan Xia and followed her to toast each table.

The glasses of Yan Xia and Xiao He were filled with fruit wine with a lower alcohol content, while only Chang Fu was filled with spirits.

A few tables down, Chang Fu's face was red and his eyes were blurred.

"Shopkeeper Yan, congratulations on your granddaughter. Come, I will give you this glass of wine. I wish Shopkeeper Yan a prosperous business and a happy family!"

The shopkeeper of Chengwei Butcher Shop stood up and toasted Yan Xia alone.

Because of the cooperation between Yanxia Restaurant and his butcher shop.

The two families often communicate with each other.

Yan Xia also responded favorably.

"Thank you, let's all make a fortune together, cheers -"

The two clinked their glasses together and each drank the wine in their glasses.

It wasn't over yet. When everyone saw the butcher shop owner toasting Yan Xia alone, they all came over and gathered around to toast Yan Xia.

Yan Xia was so frightened that she almost ran away.

"Aunt Yan, don't worry. I've replaced the wine with fruit drinks. You can drink it." Xiao Ji suddenly whispered into Yan Xia's ear.

Yan Xia breathed a sigh of relief and praised Xiao Ji in a low voice.

"Well done, you're so smart. I'll reward you with a big red envelope later."

Xiao Jiqian laughed twice.

Yan Xia gave up and touched the cups one by one.

She was still awake until her stomach was full and the guests were drunk.

"Ms. Yan, this is too wasteful. The village said you were hosting a full-moon banquet. I thought you had a grandson. I came here in a hurry, thinking of congratulating you. You spent so long just acting like a girl. Hey, if I had known better, I wouldn't have come. Okay, what are you going to do for the full moon party if you lose money? It’s a waste of money to put on such a big show. If you have this money, why don’t you save more dowry money for your sweet-scented osmanthus and wintersweet."

Just when Yan Xia wanted to go to the latrine, a sudden voice sounded behind her.

Yan Xia turned around.

Look.

It turned out to be Zhu Qiumei from Baihua Village, who was as old as the original owner. The original owner played with her for a while when she was a child.

It's just that Zhu Qiumei married to Linxian early.

The two of them had no contact with each other.

Later, the original owner married into the Chen family. When Zhu Qiumei came back to visit relatives, she met the original owner. He mocked her several times and called her pitiful. He also said that she had aged much after a long time and was no longer as beautiful as before. She also boasted about how happy she was, unlike her. She was a widow, and she made the original owner cry.

Yan Xia frowned, she was a little confused. Just now she led her son and daughter-in-law to the door to welcome guests, but she didn't see Zhu Qiumei come in.

"Hey, you're still drinking. I wanted to talk to you just now, but you were surrounded by them and I couldn't get in. Look at you, a widow, drinking with a group of men. What a woman, you should be nice." Shou Fu said, "Like me, don't look at me. I have only been a widow for three years. My parents-in-law treat me as well as my own daughter. If they hadn't passed away one after another, how could I have sold my husband's house and lived back in Baihua with my two sons?" village.

You are not sensible, but as your childhood playmate, I cannot watch you degenerate like this. From now on, I will often come to your house and teach you a lot. By the way, my eldest son is also nineteen. He has high vision and only likes They are pretty, so they haven’t gotten married yet. I think your sweet-scented osmanthus and wintersweet look pretty good. You can dress up your two daughters someday. I’ll bring my two sons over to see each other. My younger son is also eighteen. , the same age as your wintersweet, let’s make it even better.

But my family doesn’t have much money, so I can only give you 20 taels of silver as a bride price at most. Your family has money, but we haven’t seen each other for many years and you still bought such a big house. I need to at least give your two daughters a shop, and preferably a hundred taels of silver as a dowry. , I think your house is nice. Did you spend hundreds of taels to buy it? You, don’t be too fond of your son. You also gave birth to your daughter. You can’t be partial, by the way... "

When Yan Xia heard this, her head hurt.

She suspected she was dreaming.

How could there be such a shameless person in the world.

"Stop, why did you come in? Did you give me a gift? I remember that I'm not familiar with you. Could it be that you came to my house to eat and drink? Oh, we haven't seen each other for so many years, why are your lives getting worse and worse? , look at your sallow face, are you eating wild vegetables every day? I say you, don’t be too frugal. If your family is poor, you have to buy some food and meat to eat. You didn’t speak just now, but I still I thought you were some kind of beggar, you are getting old too fast, you are so pitiful, tsk tsk.

Jinyu, come here and see if the name Zhu Qiumei is in the gift account book. "

Yan Xia didn't scold him directly.

After all, it was her granddaughter's full-moon wine, a big day, and quarrels were unlucky, but she didn't get used to Zhu Qiumei either.

Yan Xia sent Zhu Qiumei's previous words of ridicule to the original owner intact.

"Sister Xiaoxia, there is no name like Zhu Qiumei and no gift." Jinyu came over holding the booklet.

He shouted loudly to Yan Xia.

The sound was so loud that even those who were not drinking at the banquet stretched their necks and looked over.

"Didn't you give me a gift? Are you really sneaking in here to eat and drink for free? Come on, who told me that this is my granddaughter's big day? Jinyu, go get a jar and put all the leftovers from the banquet in it. Come together and give it to this Zhu Qiumei. Look at this pitiful appearance, she is so thin that she has no shape. Qiumei, we played with it when we were children. Just take it and take it back to your sons to eat. No matter how poor your family is, We can’t have poor children, right?

Sincerely, the remaining dishes will be given to the beggars on the street. No food is wasted. I have something else to do. I leave it to you. Chang Fu and Chang Lu are drunk and unconscious. You can arrange it later. I will fall asleep drunk. The past guests were sent to the guest rooms as soon as they entered the courtyard, and the sober servants were sent to send them back one by one in carriages..."

Yan Xia's bladder was about to burst because she drank too much fruit drink.

Regardless of Zhu Qiumei, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, she quickly ran away after giving Jin Yu a few instructions. The banquet lasted from noon to evening.

The sunset has come out.

"Oh, Qiumei, tell me, why are you talking nonsense? If I had known you were like this, I wouldn't have brought you here. I really thought you had such a good relationship. Don't make Mrs. Yan regret visiting my house. Once my father-in-law's job of raising cattle is gone, I'll have something nice for you."

Wang Zeng, who led Zhu Qiumei in, was so frightened.

Seeing that she still wanted to chase Yan Xia and talk back.

Wang Zeng quickly pulled Zhu Qiumei back to the chair and blamed her in a low voice.
