Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Seeing that Shen's bowl of rice was almost empty, Cui ordered her, "Second daughter-in-law, go to the kitchen and bring a bowl of pickles..."

"Mom, these dishes are enough, why do we need to eat pickles!" Shen said vaguely while shoveling rice into her mouth.

"You greedy wife, you can't walk when you see food. There is so much food at home for you to eat, hurry up and get it! I can't order you around now, right..." Cui threw the chopsticks on the dining table and said.

Shen took a mouthful of rice, picked up a large piece of vegetable with chopsticks and put it into her mouth, then got down from the kang...Everyone was used to this and continued eating as if nothing had happened.

When Cui saw Shen had left, she picked up her half-eaten bun and continued eating it. While chewing the bun, she picked up some meat and vegetables and stuffed them into her mouth.

When Shen followed Cui's instructions and trotted over with a bowl of pickled vegetables, she heard Cui speak again, "I asked you to bring pickled vegetables, but you didn't bring two green onions? Go and get two green onions quickly..."

After tossing Shen back and forth twice, this time she was allowed to get on the kang. After she got on the kang, she quickly finished the rice in the bowl. Then when she asked Cui for more rice, Cui drooped her eyelids and pretended not to hear her request.

The food today was so delicious that Shen naturally would not give up so easily. She shamelessly called Cui several times. Before Cui could get angry, Mr. Sheng put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"Take my bowl of rice!" said Mr. Sheng, then stepped back from the table.

Everyone then realized that the old man's bowl of rice was still half full, and the two white flour buns he was given were still untouched. Except for the old man, the family members all had greasy mouths from eating, only the old man's mouth was dry.

Cui quickly swallowed the fat in her mouth and turned to look at the old man, only to see the old man turn around and look at the scenery outside the window, leaving everyone with a background.

Cui took Shen's bowl and viciously filled her with half a bowl of rice and handed it to her. She took the unfinished white rice and steamed buns of Mr. Sheng and put them on the table next to her.

Mr. Sheng's departure did not affect the family's enthusiasm for the meal. In the end, all the dishes on the table and the large bowl of rice were eaten up. In the end, Sheng Kai and Shen even shouted that they were not full.

While Shen, Xu and Xiaocao had cleared the dining table and were busy washing the dishes, Sheng Nuo, Sheng Kai, Sheng Hong and Sheng Yuan were still sitting on the kang and did not get up and leave immediately.

Mr. Sheng didn't eat much at noon today, and it was obvious that he was not in a very good mood. Cui glanced at Mr. Sheng, but turned her head away without going forward to ask.

"The banquet hosted by the Bao family is really lavish, they are really rich!" Sheng Kai said while kicking his teeth, "This banquet is no worse than the banquets hosted by the gentry when we were in Hejian County... I heard that they hosted nearly a hundred tables of such banquets, and they really spent a lot of money..."

"The gifts they received were definitely not small," Sheng Hong continued, "Their family runs a medicine store, and Chunshengtang is the most famous medicine store in Liaodong Prefecture... In addition, their family hasn't done anything big in recent years, so when other families have something going on, they go and give gifts, and they have a wide range of social connections..."

"I heard that Tianxianglou was booked by their family. I heard that they wanted to find the noble friends of the Third Brother's family..." Sheng Kai said, "The banquet in that restaurant is expected to be better than this one! This restaurant is opened by his eldest brother-in-law, so he is willing to spend money..."

"Xiaohong, didn't you say before that you would go to a banquet with your wife? Why didn't you go? If you were married, maybe you could sit in the restaurant and enjoy the banquet..." Sheng Kai glanced at Sheng Hong and said maliciously, "The men in our family are not loved by their fathers and mothers. We are despised everywhere. We can't show up in public..."

"Now in this family, you and your wife are the only ones who have some dignity. You should go..."

Of course Sheng Hong and Xu wanted to go. It was such a respectable thing to go to a banquet. They could also take this opportunity to improve their relationship with Sheng Xuan's family. Besides, all the important people from the surrounding villages would come to this event. It would be good for them to show their faces in front of these people.

However, they couldn't just go whenever they wanted. Originally, they wanted to go, and Sheng Xuan and Zhang had told them to go, but unfortunately, Sheng Xuan changed his mind in the end and told them to take good care of Grandpa Sheng at home...

Sheng Hong subconsciously glanced at Grandpa Sheng. Why couldn't the old man eat today and why didn't he say anything? Everyone in this room actually knew the reason in their hearts, but Sheng Kai, this bastard, just kept bringing up things that were not related to the topic and stabbed Grandpa Sheng in the heart.

"Second brother, please say less." Sheng Nuo, who had been silent all this time, said in a low voice.

"Dad, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you should go. You're sick, so what? You can't walk or crawl. Even if you can't walk or crawl, I can still carry you. You should go and sit at the table!" Sheng Kai ignored Sheng Nuo's words and said to Grandpa Sheng, "We should all go today. We should go and stir things up for them. That's what we should do! Our seniority is there. If we get married, no matter who they are today, they will have to coax us!"

Old Master Sheng didn't say anything, but Sheng Kai became more and more excited, "Third brother, you are taking our family less and less seriously. He is shaking now. He thinks we are embarrassing him. For such a big matter, he didn't even let us sit down and just sent us a table. Do you want to get rid of us..."
