Chapter 156: Pack them all up and take them back to Xiaojia.
Zhang Xinru and Wang Ma kept fighting with the children for food.
Even though Dr. Zhao wanted to serve Zhang Ma some food, he couldn't.
"Where...where are the dishes? They're scattered all over the table."
Zhang Xinru tossed a paper cup over, "Take this and eat it."
When Dr. Zhao saw that they were also using paper cups, he didn't say anything and quietly put a cup of chicken into Zhang Ma's paper cup.
Zhang Xinru: "..."
Fu Xiaochen and Ye Jiajia barely touched their chopsticks, as they were intently watching the bride and groom on stage perform their wedding ceremony.
Ye Jiajia was deeply moved, tears welling in her eyes, and murmured to herself.
"How touching, they look so happy."
Fu Xiaochen scoffed disdainfully at her words.
"Ha! How ridiculous! This lousy ceremony can move you to tears? I'll show you a real wedding sometime."
A slight upturn of his lips revealed a contemptuous smile.
I wonder how moved this damn woman will be when she marries him.
Ye Jiajia turned her head and looked at him with displeasure.
"How can you be like this! What does it matter if the ceremony is good or not? The important thing is that they love each other! Is money the only thing that can bring you happiness and satisfaction?"
Fu Xiaochen sneered, "Love? I don't see how much they love each other. They can't even afford a decent wedding for each other. What kind of love is that?"
Ye Jiajia shook her head dismissively, "Do you think everyone is as rich as you? Poor people have their own kind of romance too."
"I think the meaning of a wedding is not how luxurious it is, but that the two people truly love each other. As long as they treat each other sincerely, it is the most beautiful wedding."
……
A complex emotion flashed in Zhang Xinru's eyes as she overheard their conversation.
The female lead is really naive. Can love put food on the table? Reality is not that simple.
Her parents are the best example...
Some people are so poor they can't even afford to get married and have to borrow money at exorbitant interest rates to complete the wedding.
Married life was a complete mess, with different people coming to the door every day to collect debts.
Even so, he still wants to have a second child. He often grumbles to her, "If it weren't for giving birth to you, would I have gone through a C-section for nothing!"
"Do you know how difficult things were for our family the year you were born? Fines we couldn't pay, furniture that had to be moved out, you and your baby crying for milk, and your father was constantly in trouble..."
"elder sister?"
The child sitting at the same table interrupted Zhang Xinru's reminiscence.
"What's wrong, little one?"
The child looked at Fu Xiaochen and the others, "Sister, why are this brother and sister talking the whole time and not eating anything?"
Zhang Xinru patted the little girl's head. "Because they're too silly. Just ignore them and wait until they've said enough. They'll eat on their own then."
"Do you want some cake? I'll get it for you..."
The little girl looked glum. "I drank too many drinks, my stomach is full."
Zhang Xinru: "..."
Wang Ma, look what you've done!
After Fu Xiaochen and Ye Jiajia finished talking, everyone was about to leave.
The older women at the next table noticed that the food on their table hadn't been touched much, so they wanted to pack it up and take it home.
"Girls, are you still going to eat? If not, I'll take some back to my dog, Dahei. It's such a waste to leave so much."
Zhang Xinru quickly refused, "We want to eat, we want to eat! We were so focused on watching the wedding that we haven't even started eating yet!"
The woman smiled and nodded, "Okay, you guys eat, I'll go check on the other tables."
Zhang Xinru urged Fu Xiaochen and the others, "Young Master, you should eat quickly, everyone is leaving soon."
Why are you dawdling like this at a banquet? Do you really think this is your own home?!
Fu Xiaochen slowly picked up a slice of meat, "What's the rush? Come on, Jiajia..."
Looking around, I found there were no bowls or plates to put the food in, so my hand just stood there in mid-air.
"Zhang Ma, don't you even know how to set the table when we eat? What use are you?"
Then, turning to look at Wang Ma, who was ravenously eating, he said, "And your Wang Ma, all she knows is how to eat."
Wang Ma paused, "Hasn't this always been how we eat?"
"Young master, that's how it is at rural banquets; they don't provide us with disposable tableware."
Zhang Xinru handed over a disposable paper cup, saying, "Use this. We're short on resources, so we'll have to make do for now."
Just eat your food, you're making a lot of trouble.
After finishing his meal, Dr. Zhao wiped his mouth with a tissue. "The banquet in the countryside was alright, but the environment was a bit lacking."
Just as Fu Xiaochen was about to scold them, someone called him.
"I need to take this call, please don't bother me."
After saying that, he put the food he had picked up into a paper cup and handed it to Ye Jiajia.
Almost everyone had left, but Fu Xiaochen still hadn't finished his phone call.
Zhang Xinru and Wang Ma took out the plastic bags they had prepared beforehand and started packing.
"Miss Jiajia, do you still want to eat?"
Ye Jiajia shook her head, "I'm not eating anymore, I'm full."
"Perfect timing, I'll bring some fish back for Xiaojia..."
"Ugh, that's too spicy, the cat can't eat it..."
"Young master, would you like some fish?"
While answering the phone, Fu Xiaochen replied, "I won't eat."
"Young master, would you like some duck meat?"
Fu Xiaochen: "I won't eat."
"Young master, would you like some beef?"
Fu Xiaochen looked over coldly, "I won't eat."
"Young master, would you like some braised pork knuckle?"
Fu Xiaochen took a deep breath and shouted, "I'm not eating! I'm not eating! How many times do I have to tell you? Don't bother me!"
Zhang Xinru: If you don't want to eat it, fine. I'll just pack it all up and take it back to Xiaojia.
"Dr. Zhao, hold the bag open."
Dr. Zhao reluctantly took it: "Why should I take it?"
Zhang Xinru: "You still want the young master to take it?"
Dr. Zhao choked for a moment, "I didn't say that."
After the three of them finished packing, Fu Xiaochen was still on the phone.
"Miss Jiajia, we're heading back now."
After everyone left, Fu Xiaochen finally ended the phone call and was about to pick up his chopsticks to eat when he found the table empty.
"..."
"Woman, this is a whole table of food! You ate it all by yourself?"
He usually eats so little at the villa, but eats so much when he goes out. Is it possible that the food at the country banquet is better than the food prepared by his private chef?
Ye Jiajia was speechless: "How could I possibly eat such a big table of food? Zhang Ma and the others packed it all up and took it away."
Fu Xiaochen angrily threw his chopsticks aside. "That damned Zhang Ma, she won't even let me eat. Is she trying to rebel?!"
Ye Jiajia reminded him, "Aunt Zhang asked you several times just now, and you were the one who said you weren't going to eat!"
Fu Xiaochen: "Did I say that?"
Ye Jiajia handed him a cup of chicken, saying, "There's still some chicken left here, eat it quickly!"
Fu Xiaochen looked touched and said, "You do have a conscience."
After Zhang Xinru and the others returned, they hadn't even had a chance to feed Xiaojia when they received a call from Xu Jiaojiao.
"Wang Ma, wait for me at the entrance of Ye Jiajia's courtyard. I'll be there soon."
The two sneaked to the door, trying to avoid being seen by the rooster while waiting for Xu Jiaojiao.
