Dress up as a farm girl and make a lot of money with space
Chapter 658: Who will pay for the banquet?
"I'll come. I will definitely come when my sister goes to see the girl. The day after tomorrow? I'll bring the child's mother here early then." Li Sanlang said quickly.
This matter is considered a big event for the Li family, so Zhang will definitely come. Even if Li Sanlang does not ask, Zhang will take the initiative to bring it up when she knows about it.
Old Madam Zheng glanced at Li Sanlang and said, "You and your wife are the only ones coming. Why aren't the children from your family coming?"
Li Sanlang swallowed with some difficulty, wondering how he should say it in a way that wouldn't sound so unpleasant.
Several children can come, but if they really come, will the children not be able to bear the bad look that Old Lady Zheng gives to Zhang and cause trouble?
But how could Li Sanlang dare to say this directly?
Old Master Li saw the dilemma of Li Sanlang and took the initiative to say, "Zhengde can't ask for leave from the teacher to study. I heard Mingxia is very busy now and probably doesn't have much time. This is not a wedding, it's just a visit. It's not certain whether it will work. Let's not bother the children. Wait until their aunt is married."
Li Sanlang was so grateful after hearing this that he quickly said, "When their aunt gets married, the children will definitely be able to come. Is there any need to say more?"
I thought the matter would just pass like that, but Mrs. Zheng didn't expect it to be so.
"Is he still one or two days away from studying? I don't think that Li Zhengde is any good. Whether he studies or not is just a waste of money. We only have this girl who has no family background. Li Zhengde is still my daughter's junior. Not to mention that he has no future, even if he becomes an official in the future, he has to kowtow to my daughter when he sees her! Otherwise, he is unfilial!"
Old Mrs. Zheng spoke loudly, and her arms began to wave because of her excitement.
Mr. Li was afraid that this remark would get out. How could an official kowtow to a commoner? If this remark got out, the people in the Li family would no longer be human.
"Shut up! I told you those kids couldn't come because they had important things to do. Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Old Master Li spoke harshly, glaring at Old Lady Zheng.
When Mr. Li was really angry, he was still very intimidating. Mrs. Zheng looked at the pile of things in front of her and the words she had not finished saying, and decided to endure it for the time being.
She snorted and turned her head away, looking disdainful of the argument.
Mr. Li comforted Li Sanlang, "The day after tomorrow, you and your wife should come early to help with the arrangements. You also know the current situation of our family. If you two don't help, I don't know if this matter can be accomplished."
"Third brother, Dad is old and incapable. I am sorry to cause you trouble."
Sanlang Li almost instantly grasped Mr. Li's hand tightly.
"Dad, what are you talking about? The day after tomorrow, the child's mother and I will definitely come here early. There will be absolutely no mistakes. Dad, don't worry."
Old Master Li nodded with satisfaction, his eyes filled with pride and guilt as he looked at Li Sanlang.
This should have been a scene of a loving father and a filial son, but some people just couldn't stand it.
"You two can only say nice words, but what's the use! Third brother, come here, mother has something to tell you." Old Mrs. Zheng skipped the polite words and went straight to the point.
Old Master Li did not stop him, and held Li Sanlang's hand tightly, "It's cold, you come sit on the kang with dad and talk. Boss, go out and get some firewood to warm up the kang."
As soon as Li Dalang saw the attitude of Old Lady Zheng, he knew that she must be trying to plot against Li Sanlang. He wanted to listen here, but he didn't expect to be ordered out by Old Master Li.
He hesitated and didn't want to move. "Didn't the kang get heated this morning? It's not cold now. The third brother is not a stranger. Do we still need to be so polite?"
Old Mrs. Zheng frowned, her eyes swept over the things piled in front of her, her back straightened instantly, and she spoke with more confidence.
"Are you going or not? You don't understand what your father is saying, right?"
Li Dalang knew that Li Sanlang would definitely be invited to have lunch at noon today, and there would definitely be delicious food. If he offended Old Lady Zheng at this time, wouldn't it be terrible if she found fault with him and didn't let him eat?
Thinking of this, I could only go out reluctantly to get firewood to heat the kang.
Li Sanlang was also brought by Grandpa Li to sit on the kang. It was really warm and Li Sanlang felt that the coldness in his body was much dispelled.
"Third brother, there are guests coming to our house the day after tomorrow, and we have to entertain two tables. What do you think?" Old Mrs. Zheng couldn't wait to get to the point, staring at Li Sanlang without blinking.
Li Sanlang said honestly, "I don't know who will come to our house. I estimate that there will be more than a dozen people over there. They can't come to our house empty-handed. If we don't entertain them well, they will think we don't take them seriously. We have to prepare well, otherwise it will not look good."
Li Sanlang said these words not because his life is better now. Most people in Qianniu Village have this kind of "face-loving" behavior. No matter how difficult their life is, as long as there are visitors or there is an important occasion, they must do their best to show their face. They can eat coarse food themselves, but they must not be shabby when entertaining guests. This is the consensus of everyone.
If a family does not prepare the feast well enough, they will be criticized. Others will say that this family do not know how to behave and do things, and they should have less contact with them in the future.
So what Li Sanlang said was very pleasing to Mr. Li's ears.
"The third brother is doing well now. He is a capable man and can handle everything in an orderly manner. Dad is relieved too." Grandpa Li said with a smile.
Li Sanlang was still a little excited after getting his father's approval. After all, it was not his turn to speak up about these things before.
"One or two of them are just talking nicely. Who can't talk? What's the use? Who doesn't know that a banquet should be held? Who doesn't know that it should be done beautifully? If there is money, everyone can do things. But where is the money at home now?" While speaking, Old Mrs. Zheng looked at Li Sanlang from time to time, and the implication was very obvious.
No matter how dumb Li Sanlang was, he could understand what Old Lady Zheng meant. He was silent for a moment. He didn't know what he was waiting for, but he just wanted to wait a little longer.
But for seven or eight breaths, no one spoke, only Old Lady Zheng made some impatient clicking sounds.
Li Sanlang slowly pulled back the hand that was being held by Mr. Li.
"Mother, how much money do you want me to pay?"
