The people at Xu Jiangzhong’s table had better etiquette. After all, the comparison made it even more obvious.
At this moment, Xu Jiangzhong was eating happily. He subconsciously looked up and saw Xu Qing looking at him with disdain. In an instant, Xu Jiangzhong’s expression changed. His good mood from eating fish and meat just now had disappeared.
He had suffered a lot from Xu Qing recently. He already had complaints about her, but now that he was mocked by someone he looked down on, he was enraged. He quickly put down his chopsticks and slowly wiped his mouth and hands to eat more elegantly. However, when he ate again, the meat was all snatched away. In an instant, Xu Jiangzhong’s expression turned ugly.
Xu Qing looked at Xu Jiangzhong’s hypocritical appearance and sneered. She turned around and went to the kitchen. She didn’t want to see those eyesores.
Xu Jiangzhong’s fair face flushed as he tightened his grip on his chopsticks. His anger towards Xu Qing kept rising! All he could do now was to comfort himself. When he became rich, he definitely wouldn’t let Xu Qing off!
As Xu Jiangxi and Qu Feng served the dishes back and forth, they were also shocked by the bad table manners of this family. They were embarrassed. It was fine if the Xu family didn’t help, but at least their table manners should not be so bad. Those children actually ran to another table to snatch meat to eat and grabbed it with their bare hands…
Xu Jiangxi hurried over and reprimanded them. Then, he apologetically got someone to add more food to the table that had been robbed.
Finally, everyone was full, but the most eye-catching ones were still the Xu family. Their stomachs were all round, as if their stomachs would explode if they moved.
Xu Qing couldn’t stand it anymore. She turned around and prepared some digestive potions for everyone. The other villagers could still drink a few mouthfuls. They sat for a while before leaving in satisfaction. Before leaving, they didn’t forget to praise Xu Qing’s family. They all said that Xu Qing’s family would be lucky in the future.
Only the Xu family members were too full to even drink water. They hugged their stomachs and groaned in discomfort.
Looking at the Xu family members who were getting more and more uncomfortable, Xu Jiangxi finally found a doctor to take a look at them. They had eaten too much and the doctor had given them a few injections. Then, the Xu family went back in discomfort. They didn’t have the energy to find trouble with Xu Qing’s family.
Xu Qing felt relieved about this. So, did she indirectly solve a problem?
In the end, Xu Qing distributed the extra food to the people who helped to cook. The people who were distributing the food were all smiling. They didn’t expect that they would be able to take away the meat dishes after eating a feast of fish and meat. Just thinking about it made them happy!
Xu Qing watched the satisfied women leave and smiled. If she could exchange these small favors for a good reputation for their family, it would be worth it. After all, if their family’s financial situation got better in the future, they would definitely be envied. Therefore, she had to do her best to win their hearts. What she did today was for their family’s better tomorrow.
The Xu family had been lying at home for a few days. After they had recovered, they were energetic again. The swarm of people came to look for Xu Jiangxi again.
“Father, Mother.” Xu Jiangxi, feeling powerless, braced himself and went forward to entertain them.
“Third Brother, do you have any compassion? You actually gave all the meat dishes for the housewarming banquet to someone else. You actually didn’t think of giving them to Father and Mother?” Zhao Bing was the first to speak. She had been so angry that she hadn’t slept well for several days after seeing Li Helan eating meat dishes next door.
Xu Jiangxi was helpless. How many days had it been? Why were they making a scene now? Besides, why didn’t they take a look at how they were at that time? It would be a waste to give the food to them.
“Father, Mother, we only give to people who helped us buy groceries and cook. They were busy helping us and entertaining guests. I couldn’t let them leave empty-handed, right?” Xu Jiangxi said with his eyes lowered.
Xu Qing stood at the side as she watched. She was very satisfied with Xu Jiangxi’s reaction. In the past, Xu Jiangxi would have gone straight to the kitchen to get the dishes.
When Old Master Xu heard Xu Jiangxi’s words, he immediately blushed. They had indeed been inconsiderate regarding the housewarming banquet, but they were here to talk about this today. He glared at Zhao Bing and sighed. “Your life is getting better and better��”
Xu Jiangxi didn’t even raise his head, nor did he want to let everyone in. “Father, what do you mean by having a good life? My leg hasn’t recovered yet, and I have to take a wheelchair when I travel. I also have to take hundreds of pills every day to stay alive. This is all because Qu Feng does manual work day and night. Xu Qing worked so hard in exchange for it. Is such a life good?”
