Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

But no matter on the cabinet or in any corner, there was no sign of the gift...

"Dad, Bao Heng and Xiao Ting came here empty-handed? They didn't bring anything?" Sheng Kai finally couldn't help it and asked.

Mr. Sheng sighed, "Our family has offended the Bao family..."

"If they have offended us, then so be it," Cui snorted coldly, "What else can we expect from them?"

"What do you know! You are a fool and a source of trouble!" Mr. Sheng scolded.

"I don't know anything. You know a lot, but I don't think people take you seriously!" Cui retorted, "You came empty-handed the first time you came back. How can they bear it..."

The old man seemed to be possessed by a demon, muttering to himself, "How did the Bao family know about this? This matter should be suppressed. For this kind of thing, it doesn't matter what happens at home, but we have to distinguish between the inside and the outside..."

Sheng Kai still didn't give up, "Mom, the third brother came with such a large group of people, did he really not bring anything?"

Cui was very dissatisfied with the third family. This family would rush out after dinner and never come home. Cui had been patient with them for a long time. Cui snorted coldly, "You saw it all. You and your wife's big eyes were staring everywhere as soon as you came in! You were just about to search through the boxes and cabinets... There are only these things in this room, can't you see it?"

According to the rules of the old Sheng family, when someone comes to give a gift, it must be placed in the most conspicuous place on the cabinet. Whenever someone comes to visit, they will definitely see it, and they will definitely ask about the origin of the gift, and then Mr. Sheng will tell them the truth.

The more and more valuable the things on the cabinet are, the better the popularity of this family. This rule applies not only to the old Sheng family, but also to the entire Shengjia Village... The more gifts received, the more it means that this family is particular and will be envied by the whole village.

Sheng Xuan and others had just left, but there was nothing new on the cabinet, which meant that Bao Heng and Xiao Ting did not bring any gifts for Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Cui.

"Oh my god, this is too rude." Sheng Kai pulled a stool and sat down, then said to Grandpa Sheng, "Dad, how can the new son-in-law come to visit empty-handed? The Bao family is not poor, they are wealthy... and Xiaoting's dowry is huge. Marrying Xiaoting is equivalent to making a fortune. He comes to visit us and doesn't buy anything. This is too stingy..."

"Not so good..." Shen sat down next to Sheng Kai and echoed, "It's really unfair. The Bao family is so rich. Even if they could take a little from their fingers, it would be enough for us to eat and drink. If you don't take anything else, just bring some leftovers from the table..."

The feast that Xiaoting and Bao Heng sent to the old Sheng family on the day of their wedding was a feast for the whole family. In the following days, Cui used these oily vegetables to stew potatoes, cabbage and other big pot dishes for everyone to eat together. In Cui's words, this was to borrow the flavor.

The dishes on the banquet were stewed with cabbage and potatoes. Although the taste was not as good as the dishes on the banquet, it was much better than the watery soup we usually eat.

The feast sent by Lao Bao's family left Shen with a very satisfying meal. She can still drool when she thinks about it now.

Cui looked at Shen with disdain, "Eat, eat, eat! All you know is eating. Are you a reincarnated pig? Look at your lowly appearance. You haven't eaten in several lifetimes, and yet you want other people's leftovers! You are such a disgrace!"

Shen was thick-skinned and had long been accustomed to Cui's scolding. She didn't take it to heart at all. "Mom, I can't compare with you. I've never eaten anything delicious. Mom, do you know that on the day of Xiaoting's wedding, in the evening, the Bao family sent a table of banquet to the third brother's family. Oh my god, all that wine and meat... Tell me, the Bao family sent it to the third brother's family, but not to our family. The Bao family is not particular..."

"I heard that not only was a table full of banquets sent, but there were also other dishes. There were two large pots of fried fish and fried meatballs alone..." When it came to food, Shen talked nonstop, "Whenever a family has something going on, they have to let relatives and family members eat for a few days. You are Xiaoting's grandparents. Even if you don't send us a banquet, you should at least send us some of the leftovers..."

"By the way, I heard that the fourth family also got a share. I saw it with my own eyes. Oh my god, there was also a big pork elbow, so greasy... The fourth family has had a great time these days. They eat so much that their mouths are greasy at every meal..."

"You go to the fourth brother's house every day, don't you eat anything with him?" Cui raised her eyelids and said.

This hurt Shen's heart. "Oh, my God, please don't say it. I told them that I would help them clean the bottom of the dishes so that they wouldn't have to wash the dishes with oil stains. But Xiaoye, that damn girl, chased me out... This girl is so protective of her food!"

Shen was upset because she didn't get to eat the pork elbow, but Cui's face became darker the more she listened, "You are so shameless, you have brought shame to our Sheng family! You even go to the fourth brother's house to ask for food, they have good food to give you! Who do you think you are? They don't even consider you a human being! They have good food, they would rather feed it to a dog than give it to you!"

Shen didn't dare to talk back to Cui, she just muttered softly, obviously disagreeing with what Cui said.

"Do you think the fourth brother is still the same as before? He has climbed up the social ladder, how can he care about you?" Cui continued to scold, "Even though he runs to the old house all day long, who knows what he is thinking!"
