319: Chapter 319: Co if you Dare!
Are they all your sister-in-laws?
Wu Jie stared at Zhang Hao in amazent and asked,
“Why would you suddenly ask that?”
“Man’s intuition, my friend!” Zhang Hao laughed.
“Although I’ve never been in love, I can tell they all care a lot about you, especially that Tang Xin, haha.
If she didn’t have feelings for you, I’d fry a fish with my palm to feed you!”
“What nonsense intuition!
Stop guessing wildly and serve the dishes already!”
Wu Jie picked up the tray and started serving dish after dish.
“Excuse , Second Aunt, stir-fried wild wood ears, enjoy your al!”
No sooner had he set down the dishes than Zhang Yu suddenly grabbed Wu Jie.
“I say, boy, you’re quite capable!
Ever since Tang Xiao married you, she has beco even more beautiful!”
“Even her skin has beco soft, glowing, and tender.
A woman nourished by love is just different!”
As she spoke, Zhang Yu’s expression turned scornful, and she glared viciously at Tang Wei beside her.
“What are you implying with those words?
By your logic, you go buy costics and to the beauty salon because you’re unhappy in your daily life!”
“Whoa!
Those aren’t my words, you know it in your heart!”
After the teasing and laughter, Zhang Yu patted Wu Jie on the shoulder and said cheerfully,
“Jie is truly capable!
Work harder and strive to get Xiao pregnant soon.
Our Tang Family hasn’t had a new addition in too long!”
“Let’s talk about pregnancy so other ti!”
Tang Long took over the conversation and sighed, “Xiao’s old injuries haven’t even healed yet.
She can get pregnant, but the risk during childbirth is too high!”
“Isn’t a cesarean section possible?” Zhang Yu asked curiously.
Wu Jie shook his head.
“During pregnancy, the spine can easily beco misaligned due to stress, greatly increasing the risk of re-triggering old injuries, so the doctor advised us to hold off on having children for now.”
“This…”
Zhang Yu sighed, “Then you need to be extra careful, lest you accidentally strike gold!”
Cough, cough!!
Tang Pingde coughed loudly twice.
“What are you talking about at the dinner table?
Let’s eat!”
Picking up his chopsticks, Tang Pingde suddenly turned his head and shouted, “Haizhu, hurry up!”
“Coming!
Sour radish and old duck soup, highly nourishing!”
Zhang Hao, holding a tray, ca out of the kitchen with a big smile.
“Xin’er, make so room!
The food is coming!”
After presenting the dishes to the second table, Wu Jie put the tray aside and quickly started eating as well.
“They’re all wild ga from the mountains.
Jie’s dad spent quite a bit of money, buying daily in town.
It took days to gather just one bag!”
Haizhu sat down and intended to give an introduction.
But…
Everyone was buried in their food, eagerly eating.
Who had ti to listen to him?
Even those of refined etiquette like Lin Yuan and Bai Fengling were enjoying the food imnsely.
After all, city-raised chickens, ducks, fish, and pigs are mostly quickly fattened with feed.
Where could one find the fresh and potent flavor of wilderness ga?
Especially the wild chicken and hare, the at quality is much fresher and tastier; the pork belly from wild boar is also fatty without being greasy.
In the past, every gathering was all laughter and chitchat over the al.
This ti, it was unusually quiet; everyone was busy grabbing food and eating.
“Damn it!
I had my eye on that chicken leg first!”
“What’s the use of looking?
I grabbed it in my bowl first!”
“Hand it over!
You giving it or not?
Believe it or not, I’ll hit you?”
“Ouch!
Co on!
You think I’m afraid of you?”
…
The headstrong Tang Xiao t her match in the resolute Tang Kun.
The food-loving Tang Le ran into the unyielding Tang Kang.
The few remaining dishes were pitifully snatched away.
The atmosphere beca tense suddenly; it felt like a fight could break out at any minute.
For the first-ti guests Bai Fengling, Lin Yuan, and Fang Qingya, they instinctively put down their chopsticks, wiped their mouths, and looked at each other in confusion.
anwhile, at the next table over, the elders didn’t even glance sideways; they were too busy enjoying their al.
The most composed were Wu Jie and Tang Xiao.
Taking advantage of the scuffle, the two simply went on a clean plate campaign.
Smack!
Tang Xin slamd her chopsticks down hard and yelled at the stunned Zhang Hao:
“Haizhu, what’s the matter with you?
Why is there so little food?”
“No, no, Xin’er, there were only two pheasants to begin with!
One for each table, there’s none spare!”
Zhang Hao said with a sense of grievance.
Tang Xin glared fiercely and complained, “For soone celebrating their birthday, I’m really being treated shabbily!”
Suddenly standing up, Tang Xin imdiately moved close to Tang Pingde with a beaming smile.
“Old man, your teeth aren’t good and you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar.
If you eat these two chicken legs, who knows what’ll happen?”
Tang Pingde laughed heartily, “Quit your nonsense!
Take them away if you want to eat!”
“Thank you, old man!”
Tang Xin unceremoniously took both.
“Hey!
You little rascal, who let you take them all?
Give them back now!”
“Hehe, you told to take them!
At worst, I’ll give you one back!”
Tang Xin put one back and then returned to her original seat, holding the chicken leg.
She showed off in front of her brothers and sisters, her spirits high.
“Oh my!
This taste, it’s absolutely divine!
So delicious!”
“How can this at be so fragrant?
The ga from the mountains really is delicious!”
Tang Le and Tang Kang watched enviously, drooling to the point it was almost dripping into their bowls.
“Keep showing off, second sister, and see if I don’t start a raid!”
“Co on!
If you’ve got the guts, just try!”
Tang Kun gritted his teeth and huffed, then turned to Wu Jie curiously to ask,
“Bro, when are we going to your hotown?”
Wu Jie smiled and said, “On the third of next month, we’ll have the wedding banquet at the restaurant outside, and then we’ll have another one in my hotown on the twenty-ninth!”
“What?
Doesn’t that an we have to wait more than a month?”
Tang Xin, with a greasy mouth, said, “Why is there such a long gap in between?
Could it be that those two days in the next month are the best?”
Wu Jie shrugged and said, “My parents set the dates.
The official wedding on the third can’t be changed, but the one at my hotown can be adjusted if necessary!”
Tang Xin imdiately said, “Then we’ll see your parents on the third and everyone will urge them nicely; we have to get them to move the date forward.
Then we can all go to Jie’s hotown together, go hunting in the mountains, go fishing in the rivers, and have a good few days of fun!”
Tang Kun and the other two nodded like pecking chickens.
anwhile, Tang Xiao, from beginning to end, didn’t voice any opinion.
A wedding, huh?
Isn’t it just the newlyweds and parents getting exhausted while everyone else parties?
…
Shortly after dinner, everyone was enjoying a harmonious chat over tea.
Suddenly!
The lights dimd, and a single candle flickered on.
“Happy birthday to you!
Happy…”
A small cart was slowly pushed in as everyone joined in singing.
Tang Xin changed from her playful bratty deanor, ca in front of the cake, put her hands together, closed her eyes, and made a wish devoutly.
Bai Fengling looked at this warm family with particular envy.
Buzz buzz!
Buzz buzz!
The phone vibrated once again.
Quietly getting up and moving to a secluded spot, Bai Fengling answered the call, holding back her anger.
“Sis!
Why didn’t you pick up the phone until now?”
“I’ve been at Tianyuan for half an hour now, and I have no idea where to drive the car.
Where do you live exactly?”
“Is soone having a birthday?
I can hear soone singing a birthday song!”
Bai Fengling ground her teeth and said furiously, “If you don’t know where to go, then roll back ho!
I didn’t ask you to co to Tianyuan!”
“Sis!
Are you even my real sister?
I’ve turned over a new leaf now, and I heard you’ve joined the Tang Family of Tianyuan.
Can you find a good job?
My demands aren’t high, just two to three thousand a month without room and board is fine!”
Bai Fengling cursed out loud, “I’ve only just arrived here and am unfamiliar with everything, and you call that not asking for much?
Who do you think you are?
Spending all day racing cars, flirting with girls, and squandering money, you might as well crash and die in an accident!”
“I’m busy with sothing right now, so wherever you ca from, just roll on back!
This isn’t a shelter, nor am I your ATM!” With that, Bai Fengling was about to hang up the phone.
“Wait!
I’ve found out where you are, how could I miss the birthday banquet?
I’ll be right there!”
Bai Fengling burst into fury:
“You…
you little rascal!
Fine!
If you’re not afraid of death, then co if you dare!”
