Chapter 777

They could only copy others and snatch the dishes.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Third Aunt and Second Aunt brought out pots, bowls, and ladles to scrape the tables.

Taking home the leftover dishes from the banquet was nothing rare.

In these years, getting even a little oil or grease was hard to come by; every grain of rice was precious.

The Yan family and the Liu family mobilized everyone, snatching dish by dish.

Jia Jia Zhangshi was even more ruthless, bringing out a washbasin directly.

She even started arguing with Third Aunt over snatching the food.

The loud quarrel left Yan Yan Fugui and Third Aunt with no face to save.

If Qin Qin Huairu hadn't rushed out to apologize.

Jia Jia Zhangshi would have surely gotten a beating.

"Stingy old Yan from the west!"

"Truly shameless!"

"Snatching food from orphans and widows!"

"You unlucky star, what are you standing there for!"

"Grab the basin and scrape the dishes!"

"With so many leftovers, it's enough for our family to eat for several meals."

Jia Jia Zhangshi cursed while scraping the dishes.

Qin Qin Huairu felt her face had been utterly lost.

Yan Yan Fugui returned home in a rage:

"This Jia Jia Zhangshi is too oppressive!"

"I'm not done with her!"

Third Aunt said angrily:

"This Jia Jia Zhangshi just needs to be taught a lesson!"

"We even donated money for her medical treatment!"

"That money would have been better fed to a dog!"

Yan Yan Jiecheng frowned beside them:

"Dad! Mom! Don't talk about that old witch Jia Jia Zhangshi first!"

"You also saw the banquet spread at Xu Xu Damao's wedding."

"Eight cold dishes and eight hot ones, very grand!"

"What about my wedding banquet?"

"If my spread is worse than Xu Xu Damao's, that would be shameful."

There were only a few days left until the end of the month.

The two families held their banquets right next to each other.

The contrast between one good and one bad was too obvious.

Yan Yan Fugui said with difficulty: "Eldest! Our family can't compare with Xu Xu Damao!"

"Xu Xu Damao is a projectionist; he has plenty of oil and a solid family foundation."

"His wedding banquet is definitely a loss-making affair."

"Our family can't learn from him and make a loss-making deal."

Yan Yan Jiecheng said in a bad mood: "Then just let Xu Xu Damao outshine us like this?"

Yan Yan Fugui, acting mature and steady, said: "What is there to compare! Living our own life well is what truly matters."

Third Aunt also said: "Yes! Eldest, you must not compare blindly!"

Yan Yan Jiecheng knew he couldn't change his father's mind.

So he simply stopped speaking.

He just felt some resentment toward Xu Xu Damao in his heart.

Why did you have to hold such a good banquet?

Losing money just to make a fuss?

Are you sick in the head?

With you doing this, what am I supposed to do?

By then, everyone will say I, Yan Yan Jiecheng, am not as good as you, Xu Xu Damao?

Yan Yan Jiecheng felt stifled and indignant in his heart.

Seeing Seeing Shazhu and Yi Yi Yi Zhonghai were a hundred times more stifled than him.

Yi Yi Yi Zhonghai ate this banquet as if chewing wax.

Xu Xu Damao toasted him publicly.

He kept bowing and thanking him.

Was that gratitude?

That was slapping his face with the sole of a shoe!

Seeing Seeing Shazhu also felt aggrieved in his heart.

He had worked so hard and was so excellent.

How come he ended up doing worse than Xu Xu Damao?

That bad seed Xu Xu Damao has already married his second wife.

But to this day, he is still a virgin.

This is damn infuriating!

Where exactly does he fall short of Xu Xu Damao?

Thinking of He He Wenjie's charming and captivating appearance.

Thinking of Xu Xu Damao's smug and triumphant face.

Seeing Seeing Shazhu felt a suffocating heaviness in his heart.

As if a huge stone were blocking him.

No!

He cannot let Xu Xu Damao look down on him!

A man must also take a wife!

And take a beautiful, untouched young maiden even more lovely than He He Wenjie!
