Protagonist:
Chai Mi
"You can't put it like that. Dad, Mom..." Chai Youqing said with his eyes closed, sighing for a long time.
Finally he said: "I also have no choice. First, I really have no money on hand; I don't even have money for fertilizer for the fields. Second, I really need money. My third child will reach his full moon in a few days — don't we have to hold the full moon wine? If I don't hold the full moon wine, outsiders will say: 'Oh my, the Old Chai Family is so poor it's ding-dang ringing, they can't even afford their child's full moon wine.'
So we must hold the full moon wine, not only hold it, but hold it with great fanfare. At that time, my little sister will also have to come back. Chunwei's son-in-law..."
Chai Youqing's words stopped right there.
But this sentence caused Chai Zhongxiao's furious mood to instantly deflate.
Because the little sister Chai Youqing spoke of was Chai Zhongxiao's youngest daughter Chai Chunwei; she was married, and Chai Chunwei's son-in-law was named Xing Yanfeng.
Xing Yanfeng currently drives for the city Procuratorate...
That is an extraordinary position.
Hmph, what ordinary person would drive a car? What ordinary person could drive for a Procuratorate leader? Ordinary people don't even have this opportunity in their dreams.
And Xing Yanfeng is relatively young, only twenty-eight or twenty-nine, not yet thirty!
A young man not yet thirty can be described as young yet accomplished — heroes have emerged from youth since ancient times, the young are to be feared, in the prime of life, showing great promise.
Such a young and promising person — cough cough, young and capable — has already become a driver for a leader; he will definitely rise rapidly in the future.
It can be said that Chai Zhongxiao feels his son-in-law will definitely have boundless prospects!!!
If Xing Yanfeng can have boundless prospects in the future, then doesn't that mean he, this old father-in-law... can also turn things around?!
"Hmm..." Chai Zhongxiao's attitude had already undergone a one-hundred-eighty-degree turn.
"So you don't have a single cent on hand?"
"None."
"This... the full moon banquet indeed must be held. And it must be held well, held lively and bustling." Chai Zhongxiao set the tone for this matter.
The Chai Family hasn't had a lively major event for many years; if we speak of wedding banquets held in recent years, it was still four or five years ago when Chai You De had a son.
In a blink, many years have passed.
Chai Zhongxiao felt they indeed should hold a proper banquet, to show the village big fellows and the Chai Family's relatives and friends that the Chai Family... is still the renowned Chai Family in Sanjiacun.
Of course, also to show outsiders the Chai Family's strength.
Hmph, it's time to display the Chai Family's prosperous, harmonious, badass good days!!!
But Chai Zhongxiao had just paid for Chai You De's broken leg hospitalization expenses, and his savings were stretched thin.
"But oldest brother, this... can you give me three or four thousand first, and before the full moon banquet, pay the rest in full?"
Chai Youqing also didn't expect Chai Zhongxiao would really repay the money...
Before Chai Youqing left, Chai Mi repeatedly instructed Chai Youqing.
Later Chai Youqing also asked Chai Mi: If Grandpa and Grandma really don't give it, what then?
At that time Chai Mi told Chai Youqing: My grandpa, that person, is the most fucking snobbish. When the time comes, just say my aunt and uncle are back home — my grandpa's mouth will crack up to the sky... how could he possibly not give... you just say you're holding a beautiful full moon banquet for my sister, you have no money, but Xing Yanfeng must definitely come back to give gift money... the rest, don't worry, the old master will fill in the blanks himself.
Chai Mi had long seen through Chai Zhongxiao; her own grandpa, when he has nothing to do, just fucking likes to gaslight himself...
