Captain Kang spoke and gestured for Luo Yanqing to pick up the chopsticks.
However, Luo Yanqing opened the bottle of baijiu in front of him and filled the cups in front of Captain Kang, Big Brother Kang, and Third Brother Kang to the brim. He said, "This is baijiu. I’ve heard it tastes very good. Dad, Big Brother, and Third Brother, please have a taste."
"Brother-in-law doesn’t drink?"
Seeing that Luo Yanqing hadn’t poured for himself, Big Brother Kang couldn’t help but ask.
"I... don’t really drink much."
Luo Yanqing explained.
"Drinking a little is fine," Big Brother Kang picked up the bottle Luo Yanqing had just set down and poured a small amount into his brother-in-law’s cup. Seeing this, Luo Yanqing didn’t refuse and raised his own cup, "Dad, Big Brother, Third Brother, cheers to you!"
With those words, he drank it all in one gulp..
Upon seeing this, Big Brother Kang smiled at Captain Kang and said, "Dad, it seems brother-in-law truly can’t drink." Hearing this, Captain Kang glared at his eldest son, then turned his gaze to Luo Yanqing, "Drinking baijiu in one gulp can easily go to your head."
Perhaps because he had just drunk, or perhaps because his thod of drinking was wrong, but at any rate, Luo Yanqing’s fair and handso face blushed at this mont. He nodded, "I’ll rember what you said, Dad."
The lively al ended without seeing their mother return, so Kang Li couldn’t help but call Kang Yichen over, "Go check at the Zhou Family what has detained grandma."
"Alright."
Kang Yichen agreed without a second thought and nodded.
"Rember to tell grandma to co back for the al."
Kang Li instructed.
Kang Yichen responded again with an "Alright."
Zhou Family.
"Grandma, if you’re done, co back ho for the al,"
Upon seeing his grandmother at the Zhou Family’s main house, Yichen went up to her and said, and then pulled on her arm to head out, "Everyone at ho is waiting for you, Grandma."
"Alright, alright, I’ll co back with you right away," Cai Xiufen responded verbally but her gaze fell on Mrs. Zhou, "Auntie, a guest should not be neglected. Don’t worry about why Comrade He and Educated Youth Su and her mother are arguing; you should first attend to preparing lunch for the other daughters-in-law at ho. We can’t let guests go hungry."
"It’s being prepared, it’s being prepared."
Mrs. Zhou forced a smile and dealt with Cai Xiufen.
"Then I won’t stay any longer."
Before Mrs. Zhou could say anything, Cai Xiufen had already left, being pulled by the arm by Kang Yichen.
Watching Cai Xiufen’s retreating figure, Mrs. Zhou’s expression changed again and again. She felt that her family had lost great face today, being made a spectacle in front of the villagers, especially by Cai Xiufen, this almost in-law and woman director, and at the sa ti, she was very dissatisfied with Mother Su.
Coming all the way from North City, she expected a visit to see her daughter-in-law, Su Qing, and her little grandchild, yet the mother and daughter started arguing almost imdiately after eting, not minding the setting and arguing loudly in the courtyard.
This brought the neighbors gathering outside her house to look into the matter.
Mrs. Zhou could guess without much thought that the villagers would likely start spreading various gossips about her family again.
"Bring out the money, and I will take Taotao back to North City right now."
Mother Su was sitting in Su Qing’s room, her face grim as she stared directly at her eldest daughter, "During the Spring Festival, seeing how thin you had beco, your father and I were very heartbroken,
so when you were leaving, I packed quite a few things for you and even gave you fifty yuan, but instead, you imdiately deceived us. You said you were seriously ill and needed surgery, that your in-laws couldn’t afford the surgery fees..."
Before Mother Su could continue, Su Qing interrupted: "What’s the point of bringing up these matters over and over? Yes, I deceived you and Dad,
