Chapter 170: Housewarming Party 2
Chapter 170: Housewarming Party 2
"Second Aunt, Second Uncle, long time no see!"
Today, Shen Zhuang, Shen Cong and others came to help. Shen Qingzhou clearly had resentment towards his second uncle's family, but he had no grudges against them.
Moreover, based on his understanding of Shen Jizu's family, in such occasions, seeing him invite Shen Zhuxiong's family in, they would also come to join in the fun.
Maybe it's a way to embarrass their family.
"Qingzhou, how are your studies going recently? Second uncle has high hopes for you!"
"good!"
Shen Qingzhou spoke very casually. Shen Zuxiong and Shen Dali exchanged a few words, and then they went in to give their gifts.
Lin Ting was inside the house and also saw Liu and Shen Zuxiong.
There were many guests in the new house, but Yang Xiuxiu and Aunt Jiang were here, so she came to the door to see if Madam Qu and the others had arrived.
Time passed minute by minute, and half of the dishes for the banquet were ready.
As soon as the auspicious time arrived, Lin Ting's family would hang up the plaque with the words "Shen's House" and start the banquet.
However, Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou stood together. They originally wanted to wait for Madam Qu and her sister. Unexpectedly, they did not wait for them, but waited for Shen Jizu's family and Shen's mother first.
Except for Shen Rou, the outfits of the remaining three people made Lin Ting's eyes go dark. He really didn't know whether he wanted to make things difficult for Lin Ting or for themselves.
"Shen Dali, you have a new house now. Why can't you even let your mother in? You don't welcome her? Don't you recognize her?"
Mother Shen wore a piece of clothing that she had been reluctant to throw away all her life and that could not be patched up.
This piece of clothing may have been at the bottom of a box for years. Besides being torn, it is also wrinkled, with all sorts of patches and colors all over the place.
In addition, Shen's mother had been planning this for a long time. Her face was very dark and her hair was greasy and stuck together.
Except that his face was a little cleaner than a beggar's, he looked like one of those poor relatives who had been eating tree bark all year round.
Shen Jizu was even more excessive. As a scholar, he had never owned a piece of torn clothing, but today he picked up a tattered shirt from somewhere. Who was he showing this to?
Xu had always been strong-willed and wanted to wear gold and silver, but today her clothes were even more torn than Shen's mother's.
"Mom, big brother, what are you doing? There are so many guests today."
Shen Dali was panicked. If it weren't for his relationship with the Shen family, how could they be so embarrassed?
"Shen Dali, what are you talking about? Today you're moving to a new house, and my mother and I are here to congratulate you. Even the gift is made of broken rice that we are reluctant to eat. It weighs a full pound."
Shen Jizu shouted at the top of his voice, he wanted to let everyone know that he was Shen Dali's biological brother, and the person in front of him was Shen Dali's biological mother.
Let everyone know that Shen Dali lives a life of luxury, wears fine clothes, and is unfilial to the people who gave birth to him and raised him.
"Mom, big brother, if you want to come to the banquet today, please come. Forget about the formalities, but at least change into everyday clothes."
When Shen Dali said this, Shen Jizu became unhappy. They came here today to take revenge on Shen Dali and make him lose face. Why would he change his clothes?
"Who are you looking down on, Shen Dali? Who wants to eat your feast for free? Even though you don't recognize your mother anymore, we can still accept this gift."
Shen's mother also shouted: "Da Li, you have been living well these days, and you don't recognize me as your mother. Look at you, you are wearing a jade belt, I have never seen such a thing in my life."
Shen Dali touched his belt with both hands, he was in a panic...
"Mom, I didn't. Don't say anything careless."
Shen Qingzhou was very calm. He had encountered too many embarrassing things during the three years of his disability. Shen Jizu and the others had no impact on him at all.
His gaze fell on Shen Rou. The parents were dressed in such rags, but they dressed their daughter in nice clothes. This did not fit their image of playing the victim.
Most of the people who come now are still from the village, but there are also some people from other villages. Some of them have old relationships, so they naturally come here to drink.
Seeing Shen's mother and Shen Jizu like this, everyone shook their heads.
Whenever something happens, he separates Shen Dali's family. Now, on the day of Shen Dali's housewarming, he deliberately comes to disgust him.
He really used Shen Dali and his own blood as capital to trample on Shen Dali.
However, Lin Ting, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
"Since you're here to congratulate us, please come in. The gift is over there, please..."
Shen Jizu smiled. He knew that in front of so many people, Lin Ting didn't dare to do anything to them. Now he was under his control.
Today he would let Lin Ting see the consequences of offending Shen Jizu. He would not get any benefits, and Lin Ting would have no chance of holding a perfect housewarming party.
Shen Jizu went to give the gift, and Shen's mother walked past Shen Qingzhou and Lin Ting with her head held high.
It’s such a shame to let Shen Dali’s family live in such a big house.
When Shen Rou passed by Shen Qingzhou, she saw Shen Qingzhou sitting in a wheelchair and looked at him with disdain.
But when facing Lin Ting, she felt fear and terror, especially when she saw the smile on Lin Ting's face, she had a psychological trauma.
Watching Shen's mother and her family go in, Shen Dali turned to look at Lin Ting. He didn't know what Lin Ting meant?
Do you really not mind what Big Brother's family does?
But when he saw the sly smile on Lin Ting's lips, he knew that Lin Ting would definitely have a trick up his sleeve.
But before Shen Dali could figure it out, he saw Lin Ting walking towards the direction where the village chief was receiving gifts.
Lin Ting approached Shen Jizu who was giving a gift. Although she looked down upon a pound of broken rice, she would not refuse something that could make Shen's mother feel distressed.
After Shen Jizu finished the gift, he turned around and almost bumped into Lin Ting who was standing behind him, which scared him.
"Lin Ting, what are you doing? Are you trying to scare me to death?"
Lin Ting was not angry, and a standard smile hung on his delicate face.
"Shen Jizu, since you brought your family with you today and you are a scholar, I must let you sit at the main table."
When Lin Ting suddenly said this, Shen Jizu felt that she was holding it in again.
The main table is for the host and distinguished guests. He is dressed like this today, and Lin Ting asked him to sit at the main table?
"Lin Ting, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Even if it's not welcome, just say it directly. Beating around the bush is not what a gentleman does."
Originally, Lin Ting was just pretending to smile, but when she heard these words coming out of Shen Jizu's mouth, she really laughed.
"Okay, okay, then I'll just say what I want to say. There are two reasons why I let you sit at the main table today. First, you are a scholar, a person of knowledge!
Second, I've invited the magistrate of Wenzhu County, Lord Qu, to come today. Of course, he'll be sitting at the main table. As for whether you can strike up a conversation with him, that's up to you."
These words made Shen Jizu feel like he was electrocuted. He raised his head and his eyes widened.
Then I heard someone shouting at the door of the new house.
"Wenzhu County Magistrate, Lord Qu has arrived!"
