Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

After a while, the next few dishes were served.

Sha Zhu also took off his chef's uniform, brought up the last dish, and cooked it.

But what was a little awkward at this time was that no one was talking at the table.

Ye Wenwu was too lazy to talk to them about these things, because he was convinced that this was the Hongmen Banquet, and even if he didn't say anything, they would have to smile and please him.

But this made Zhang Xingbang miserable. Seeing the awkward atmosphere and smelling the delicious food in front of him, he could only swallow his saliva and move his throat continuously.

But he listened to what his cousin said and told him to just eat and drink and let him talk about the rest.

"Everyone, please don't just stand there. The dishes have been served for a while, and we are all here. I am just being shameless and saying, let's eat."

The third uncle Yan Bugui was the peacemaker. When no one on either side said anything, he had to bring up the topic.

"That won't do, Third Uncle."

Suddenly Shazhu said something.

The third uncle Yan Bugui, who had already picked up his chopsticks to pick up the food, could only stop there stiffly, and finally smiled and said:

"What's the matter, silly?"

"I prepared this meal with great care. Since you all are here to give me a silly face, I have to toast you all. However, this cup is too small and not satisfying. Let's just use bowls instead."

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he took out two bottles of good wine from under the table.

"Besides, how can we enjoy food without good wine? As the saying goes, good wine goes with heroes. Who among those present here is not a famous hero?"

There was a large bowl next to it, which Sha Zhu had already prepared. He picked up a bowl, filled it up completely, and placed it in front of the deaf old lady.

"I'm giving this first bowl to my elders. I hope you have no objection!"

Everyone respected the deaf old lady as their ancestor, so how could they have any objections? It was obvious that these words were meant for Ye Wenwu and his brothers.

But cousin Zhang Xingbang didn't care and picked up his chopsticks to start eating.

Ye Wenwu also shook his head. Since you want to get me drunk, you don't have to think about having a good time.

Afterwards, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, Xu Damao, Sha Zhu, Ye Wenwu and Zhang Xingbang each had a bowl full of white wine in front of them.

A bowl of wine like this weighs nearly eight taels, and normally one would make one drunk.

Ye Wenwu smelled the aroma of wine coming from in front of him, and secretly sighed that Sha Zhu and the others had really spent a lot of money. They were willing to spend such good wine just to deal with him.

If he knew that the wine was paid for by Sha Zhu alone, he would probably admire Sha Zhu a little. After all, this is not the way to be a sucker. What grudge or resentment do he have against him?

Isn't it just about letting the two siblings split up the property? Besides, the reason why he has so much money now is because I told him.

Unfortunately, Ye Wenwu didn’t know any of this.

"Wenwu, the previous matter was indeed biased in the mind of the first uncle. I invited your third uncle here today to let everyone speak frankly. As the elder of the courtyard, I, Yi Zhonghai, sincerely apologize to you, a junior, and hope that we can live in peace in the future."

"This is my toast to you. If you still trust me as your uncle, let's drink it in one gulp."

Uncle Yi Zhonghai spoke sincerely, and lowered his posture as much as possible. If the few people nearby had not thought that this matter had been told to them before, they would have really believed that Yi Zhonghai really wanted to live in peace with Ye Wenwu.

They all secretly sighed at how realistic Yi Zhonghai's acting was.

Grandpa Yi Zhonghai finished the whole bowl of wine in one gulp. After drinking the eight-liang bowl of wine, Yi Zhonghai's face immediately turned red, and the wrinkles on his forehead became more and more wrinkled.

He quickly picked up a few bites of food from the dish in front of him and stuffed it into his mouth to fill it up. This helped to suppress the acid reflux in his stomach.

Ye Wenwu was also amazed. This way of drinking was too ancient, but it looked quite impressive.

Everyone turned their eyes to Ye Wenwu. After all, there was not a drop of wine left in the bowl of uncle Yi Zhonghai.

Although Ye Wenwu knew how much he could drink, he still felt a little scared. He could only pretend that his scalp was tingling and gritted his teeth to drink half of the bottle. After eating a few bites of food, he drank the other half again.

"Since the elder has said so, I, as a junior, don't have much to say. It's all in the wine."

Ye Wenwu turned over the wine he had finished drinking, leaving not a drop behind.

Everyone applauded enthusiastically.

After drinking this glass of wine, the originally awkward scene suddenly became lively.

It was his cousin Zhang Xianbang. Although he kept his head down and ate the food the whole time, he could not escape the fate of drinking.

However, Ye Wenwu had already told him before he came that his cousin was not a heavy drinker. After drinking this huge cup of 8 liang of wine, cousin Zhang Xingbang fell on the table in a daze.

Of course, these were all pretended for Yi Zhonghai and the others to see. After all, one must always be on guard against others.

Ye Wenwu also accepted all the drinks, pretending that he was already 7% drunk, and kept clamoring to continue drinking.

As for Xu Damao, who had nothing to do with the crowd, this guy was very smart and had already discovered that this dinner was different. He didn't offer a single bowl of wine to Ye Wenwu throughout the whole process and even clinked bowls with Sha Zhu from time to time.

Ye Wenwu also saw that the time was almost up, so he pretended to vomit, but when he couldn't vomit, he lay on the table in a daze.

The meal lasted until about 9:00 p.m., and almost everyone in the compound started to fall asleep.

"This kid can drink too much."

The second uncle's face was also red, and he looked at Ye Wenwu with an unpleasant expression.

The eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai was also a little drunk, but he knew Xu Damao and the third uncle Yan Bugui were here, so he didn't want to say anything directly.

"Old Yan, Damao, you two go back first. As for Ye Wenwu and his two brothers, I'll wait for a while and we two will take him back."

Yi Zhonghai wanted to send Yan Bugui and Xu Damao away. As for the third uncle, who was not expensive, he had also drunk too much and felt dizzy. After hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, he said goodbye and staggered back.

Xu Damao's eyes moved, but he pretended to be a little drunk as he walked out.

When Yi Zhonghai saw that both of them had left, he quickly closed the door.

Unexpectedly, Xu Damao, who was walking towards the backyard outside, tiptoed quietly outside the door and eavesdropped.

"What should we do now? Should we really put Ye Wenwu on Qin Huairu's bed?"

Uncle Yi Zhonghai was a little conflicted. Although everyone had already discussed giving some compensation to Jia Zhang and Qin Huaixin of the Jia family, and Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu also agreed to this, he was actually reluctant to do so for a moment.

"Old Yi, don't worry about it. We have already discussed this matter. Let's hurry up. By the time they sober up, it will be difficult for us to handle it."

The second uncle Liu Haizhong urged from the side. To be honest, when the first uncle Yi Zhonghai came to him and told him this plan, he also felt it was a little unbelievable.

I never thought that it would be so easy to get someone.
