Chapter 425 Shen Xue Hosts a Banquet

Chapter 425 Shen Xue Hosts a Banquet

Shen Xue was happily hosting a banquet outside, and her son Zhou Jin was jumping up and down in the yard. He was completely different from his twin sister. The favored one could do whatever she wanted and was innocent and bright, while his sister was a small and skinny girl with a sad face.

Liu Pan was in a bad mood. Before her banquet was over, she started to find excuses to scold Shen Xue. Shen Xue felt so wronged. "Mom, what are you doing? It's a good day. Why are you scolding me all of a sudden?"

Liu Pandi was too lazy to say more to her. After scolding her enough, he started to pack the food to take home. "Mom and Dad, Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, you haven't eaten yet, come out to eat. I packed food for you. I have to say that the banquet hosted by Shen Xue is delicious."

"Third sister-in-law, are you packing up all the dishes on the table?" Zhang Cuicui asked as she looked at the dishes she brought back.

"We have a large family, so I took a little more."

Li Caixia thought that only she could control Shen Xue and get things from her. If it were someone else, who would be able to bring back so many vegetables?

Liu Pandi thought that the dishes that Shen Xue packed were specially kept for them to eat. As soon as Zhou Jingchen entered the kitchen, the reserved vegetables were gone, not even a single leaf was left.

Everyone who came to the banquet had almost finished their meal and left one after another. There was no leftover food on the table, not even a drop of soup was left.

Looking at the empty table and kitchen, Zhou Jingchen didn't smile at all. "Shen Xue, they are full, what should we eat?"

Zhou Jingchen didn't want to sit at the same table with the peasant to eat, so he didn't eat the whole time.

Shen Xue wanted to say that she had left some food, but when she thought about how her mother had packed up all the food she had left, she forced a smile and said, "If there's nothing left, we can just cook it again. We still have two cabbages at home, so we'll eat them tonight."

Their family held a banquet, but they didn't even get to eat a single bite of the food and ended up having to eat cabbage. Zhou Jingchen had never seen anything like this before.

"Your mother has come to the banquet, why do you want her to pack up the food to take back?" Zhou Jingchen really couldn't understand at all. Before she got married, she had never seen her listen to Liu Pandi so much.

"I didn't even know she was packing. I only found out after she left. Jingchen, she's my mother. What can I do?"

If she didn't give it to her, her mother would talk her into feeling ashamed. Her mother's eloquence was getting better and better, and she couldn't beat her at all.

Shen Xue hosted a banquet and felt that she had saved her face. Even though she didn't eat at the banquet, she was happy.

"Jingchen, did you see that? Today everyone is envious of me, envious of me for finding such a capable man."

Zhou Jingchen wanted to say that he envied her but he didn't see anything. He only saw that everyone thought she was stupid.

Everyone brought gifts to the banquet today. Shen Xue happily carried a basket with a red envelope in it into the house.

Zhou Jingchen wanted to know how much money was in those red envelopes, so he followed them into the house.

"Jingchen, look at all the red envelopes. There must be a lot of money. We can only make money from this banquet today."

There were quite a few red envelopes, but Shen Xue was dumbfounded when she opened them. They were all 1-cent and 2-cent notes, and some were 1-cent and 2-cent notes. Not a single random note was worth more than 50 cents.

"How can it be so little? How can they have the nerve to pay so little when they come to the banquet?"

"Don't you know what the people in your own village are like? They are all peasants, how much money can they have?" Zhou Jingchen snorted beside her. She was hoping to earn back this little money, but she suffered a huge loss.

Before Shen Xue got married, Liu Pan was in charge of all the gifts. She just wanted to have a mouth to feed, so she didn't really pay attention to how much others gave. She only knew that everyone who came to the banquet gave a gift.

She got married, and someone invited her to a banquet, but she didn't even give a gift. She just went with her mouth to eat for free. She didn't know how much people usually gave. Now it was her family's turn to have a banquet, and there were so many red envelopes that the money added up was not even enough to buy vegetables. Shen Xue was really dumbfounded.

To host the banquet, she spent nearly fifty yuan just on buying meat, not even taking vegetables and eggs into account. After a careful calculation, she realized that she was so disappointed that she wanted to slap her thigh.

Shen Xue was such a stingy person. Normally, she wouldn't even let Zhou Jingchen smell the malted milk. Now that they lost so much money from the banquet, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. She kept saying, "This shouldn't be the case. Why do they still like to hold a banquet when it's so unprofitable?"

Shen Xue didn't know that everyone held the banquet just to have a good time and did it within their means, unlike her who did it just for face.

Jiang Ziqiang said he was willing to come, so Old Lady Shen and Li Caixia secretly asked someone to look at a date. The eighth day of next month was a good date, and it would be perfect for the two children to hold a wedding banquet.

Shen Qiu wrote a letter to Jiang Ziqiang telling him about this. A week later, he and Jiang's parents came to Shenjiaba Brigade, and the two families sat together to discuss the marriage of their two children.

Shen Qiu had never met Jiang's parents, and felt quite nervous at first. But when Jiang's mother got out of the car, she took Shen Qiu's hand and praised him with a smile.

"It's Xiaoqiu, she's really pretty. Auntie doesn't have a daughter and has always wanted one. Now she's successful.

You know to find a wife for yourself. In the future, your aunt will also have a daughter. If he makes you unhappy in the future, you can go to your aunt. "

Jiang's mother spoke softly, and Shen Qiu liked this future mother-in-law from the bottom of her heart.

Father Jiang was a talkative man. Soon after he sat down, he started chatting with Old Man Shen, Uncle Shen, Second Uncle Shen, and Third Uncle Shen.

Both parties were sincere in getting married and had a very pleasant chat.

This was his own marriage, and before he was sure whether Shen Qiu was interested in him, Jiang Ziqiang didn't feel restrained at all.

Today, he felt embarrassed. He looked at Shen Qiu secretly. Jiang's mother cursed her son for being useless. They were even at the stage of discussing marriage, but he was still embarrassed to look at the girl.

The Jiang family came and brought a lot of things, all bottles and jars. The Shen family didn't even know what some of the things were, so it goes without saying that they took them very seriously.

Li Caixia was so happy that her daughter found a good son-in-law for her. He was obviously a live-in son-in-law. Jiang Ziqiang was such an outstanding child, but the Jiang family was still willing to lower their posture, which showed that they were all satisfied with their daughter.

If she is satisfied with her daughter, there won’t be any major conflicts with her parents-in-law in the future.

When the Jiang family came, the food had to be good. Li Caixia was happy and killed the geese for the New Year meal. Zhang Cuicui and Liu Pandi, the two sisters-in-law, helped with the cooking and even brought vegetables from their own rooms and added two more dishes.

A car came into the village and went straight to the Shen family. A nosy aunt had already come to inquire about the matter. It turned out that the girl Shen Qiu was going to get married.
