Chapter 724: Banquet seating turmoil

Their family of ten, including Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang, sat at a table, just right for ten people, also arranged in the Mazu Temple, in an open space under the opera stage.

50 tables were set up in the Mazu Temple, and dozens of tables were set up outside the Mazu Temple. The village's own people were basically arranged in the Mazu Temple first, and those who couldn't be arranged were arranged outside.

Those who came from the surrounding ten miles and eight villages to eat peace were also arranged outside.

Surrounded by villages, not far away, there were really quite a few who came specially to eat peace rice.

New temple raising the beam, and it happened to be the birthday, everyone was willing to spend this money.

Even from villages further away, and near the town, many people came after hearing the news to watch the fun.

Although it was said that a hundred tables were opened, more than ten tables were added in the last two days, because watching the opera attracted many villagers and fishermen from further away, like the town area, to come and take a look.

Since they knew there was a birthday, and the village opened a hundred tables, how could they not come.

Even many people were willing to ask for a small Mazu statue, temporarily adding quite a lot of business to the Mazu Temple.

So today, the Mazu Temple inside and outside added up to more than a hundred tables, people coming and going, could be said to be a sea of people, more people than the village opera in the previous few days.

Two children sitting alone in a seat felt a bit abrupt to the villagers coming and going, but people also thought that the people hadn't arrived yet, so the children sat first.

Until the banquet started, the people around looked at the two children still sitting in their seats without moving, and there were really people who didn't know the situation who came over.

It was Rat's wife, pulling a five or six-year-old child to stand beside Ye Chengyang, and intended to pick up Ye Chengyang and stuff him to Ye Mother, because Lin Xiuqing was already holding Ye Xiaoxi.

The whole table was confused looking at her actions. Ye Mother saw her pick up Yangyang and wanted to stuff him into her arms, quickly took the child and put him on the stool again.

"What are you doing?"

"The banquet is about to start, everyone is sitting, you still have two empty seats here, letting two children occupy two seats, how wasteful. Since people haven't come, let me sit for a while, we have too many children at that table, one by one holding on the lap, almost squeezed to death..."

"Anyway, it's not someone else, everyone knows each other, and it's empty, just let me move a position, sitting at your table is also more spacious..."

Rat's wife smiled and talked endlessly, and after speaking, she wanted to pick up Ye Chengyang again.

"Just such a small child, occupying a seat, how wasteful..."

Ye Mother raised her eyebrows, slapped her two hands away impolitely, "What are you doing, what are you doing, our family of ten, just right for a table, what does it have to do with you?"

"Your family even brought three children to eat the banquet, if it goes out, it will be laughed at, and you specially occupied two seats. I just let you vacate a seat for me..."

"Why should I vacate a seat for you? We paid for it ourselves. Who laughs at us, who laughs at us? Your own seat is over there, don't sit in your own seat, run over here and want to occupy our seat, you should be laughed at."

"Who told you no one came? This table is all our own family, ten people, we also paid ten shares. Two little boys, we also paid, why can't they occupy one seat each? Even if they don't eat, eat a bite and run, empty there, it's not your turn to sit, go back where you came from."

Ye Mother frowned as if driving away flies, waving her hand at her, wanting to send her away.

"Who are you lying to? Who would specially pay for two children..."

"What's so strange, we can afford it, the fact is our two children also count as adults, paid two shares..."

The whole table was a bit amused.

Just said it very clearly, this person is selectively listening, right?

Even the people next to them heard the noise here and looked over curiously. Everyone was very surprised to hear that the two children also paid two shares, and most didn't believe it.

How much can a child eat? Eat a few bites and run, and specially paid two shares for the child?

Whose family is so wasteful?

Even the village head, Shuji's family guess they are reluctant to pay a share for a small child.

Lin Xiuqing looked at her like a fool, "How many people sit at this table, how to sit? What does it have to do with you? Your post says what number seat, you sit back to your own position, don't care if our children occupy the seat or not?"

"Isn't it thinking that you are empty..."

"Not empty, just said very clearly, my two sons also paid the share, they also count as head counts, one person sits one seat, no problem. I am not a shameless person, one person comes to eat, and brings three children."

Poor as she is, she still wants face.

Poor in ambition, not poor in spirit.

Not to mention they are not poor now, just pay two more shares, can let the whole family happily come together, no need to be reluctant, not to mention the whole table is their own family, and didn't take advantage of outsiders.

"How is it possible?" Rat's wife sneered, "Who would specially pay for two children..."

"What's so strange, we can afford it, the fact is our two children also count as adults, paid two shares..."

Ye Mother originally only felt this person was inexplicable, but didn't get very angry, but she was very disdainful of the expression on her face, and the appearance looked very annoying, and the fire in her heart couldn't help but arch out.

While Lin Xiuqing was talking, she slapped Ye Father, "Take out the post."

Ye Father dug into his pocket, Ye Mother looked at his slow movement, snatched it directly, and glared at him.

Then spread it directly on the table and slapped it twice.

"Open your eyes and look carefully, the post says our family of ten sits at table 15, they didn't open another post, Dongzi has another seat post, do you want to take it out and show you?"

"Reluctant to take money yourself, and think everyone is the same as you? Stingy, a table of ten adults, children have to add five or six, no wonder you say it's crowded, reluctant to pay, isn't it deserved to be crowded? Pay one share, want two people to eat back."

Rat's wife looked at the post and wrote ten people, feeling a bit guilty, didn't expect them to be willing to spend this money, but after hearing Ye Mother's words, she was instantly angry again.

She glared at Ye Mother, "Auntie's words are not good to hear, you think everyone is like your family, rich and generous, and willing to buy two seats for two children to eat, can't eat a few bites and go down, can't let others sit for a while..."

"Why let others sit? We paid for it ourselves, why should we let others sit? Could it be that my son paid for you to eat? You think beautifully, our own family sits at a table, just right, no matter if the children go down or not, this table is also our family's, the empty position is not your turn to sit."

"No wonder people say the richer people are, the stingier they are..."

At this time, Rat also felt that with so many people watching, his face couldn't hang, and quickly went up to pull people.

"Stop it, don't sit in your own seat, what are you doing here?"

"Isn't it looking at this side being empty?"

Ye Mother took the post and immediately turned to talk to the people at the surrounding tables: "Look at what's written on this post, our family of 10, sit at table 15, isn't it just right?"

"Paid for how many people, sit in how many people's seats, the two little ones we also paid, they also count as head counts, one person sits one seat, no problem."

"Only paid for one person's money, but brought three children to eat, that's really to be laughed at, our family can't afford to lose that person."

"What's going on? What happened?" Ye Yaodong squeezed through the gaps between the tables and asked suspiciously.

When sitting on the opera stage, he looked down at the stage from time to time, paying attention to his wife and children, but found that something seemed to have happened down here.

His mother seemed to be arguing with Rat's wife?

Quickly stood up and came down, squeezed over from the gaps between the tables, but heard his mother's loud voice shouting there, what one person's money, brought three children to eat.

Actually, this can be considered his mother's normal tone, but when she speaks, her volume will be a bit louder than others. As long as she doesn't speak in a suppressed voice, her speech will make people hear it especially clearly.

Rat's wife hadn't moved away yet and heard this, and couldn't help but retort, "A bit of money is amazing, a bit of money can look down on people? Stingy, see how long you can be proud..."

Ye Yaodong frowned; he didn't bother arguing with the woman, looking at Haozi instead.

"What is stingy? Rat, if you can't afford this money, tell me, I can also pay for you, just a few dollars, still can't afford it?"

Rat quickly laughed awkwardly, explaining, "No, no, my wife didn't know you also bought the child's share, made a misunderstanding."

Said and glared at his wife, whispered: "Don't be shameful, all laughed at, quickly sit down."

"If you can earn more money, I won't be shameful!"

This sentence was said, Rat's face turned black, if not considering there were many people, he would have slapped her.

"Shut up!"

"Hmph."

His wife glanced at him disdainfully, and even snorted, shaking off the grabbed hand.

Pulling her son, she squeezed him to the side, and sat back to her original position first, not feeling that her appearance just now was shameful at all.

Instead, Rat stood there, feeling the eyes of the people around, both embarrassed and feeling a bit shameful.

He didn't look at Ye Yaodong's expression either. Friends who were once thick as thieves, each with their own faults, and who could still play together, had already drifted apart.

Originally didn't have many thoughts, but today, it made him feel a bit inferior, a bit unable to lift his head.
