Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 243 Dinner
"Hmph, you had the nerve to say you'd treat me to bird's nest, but you brought nothing. I can't believe you..."

Jiang Moli interrupted Lu Tingting's grumbling, "My dear niece, stop complaining. Shall we go to a banquet?"

Lu Tingting snorted coldly, "No, I won't go. I won't fall for your tricks again!"

"I'm not lying to you, it's right ahead."

Lu Tingting followed Jiang Moli to a restaurant called Heshunyuan.

The restaurant was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and a large "longevity" character was pasted on the entrance, clearly indicating that a birthday celebration was being held.

Lu Tingting asked suspiciously, "Whose birthday banquet is this?"

“My second cousin, you should call him Second Cousin Grandfather.”

After saying that, Jiang Moli led her into the restaurant.

There was a gift-giving table at the entrance. Jiang Moli, as her cousin, gave a gift of two yuan and then found an inconspicuous spot to sit down with Lu Tingting.

The banquet hadn't started yet, and the guests were all snacking on melon seeds and drinking tea.

Jiang Moli grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from the table and started eating them while listening to her tablemates chat.

Lu Tingting followed her example, grabbing a handful of sunflower seeds and cracking them open, while racking her brains to figure out which of her great-uncles this was.

……

Yang family.

Yang Liqiong sat in front of the TV cabinet, enjoying the sweet and smooth bird's nest soup while quietly admiring the crabapple blossoms.

She has no interest in flowers and plants; those on the balcony were left by her grandfather.

She couldn't bear to throw them away, but she didn't know how to take care of them, so she could only let them roam freely, watering them from time to time.

But she immediately took a liking to the begonia bonsai that Jiang Moli had given her.

Beautiful and charming, swaying gracefully.

It's like suddenly getting a favorite toy; you just want to savor its beauty all by yourself.

That's why she was so eager to see the guests off.

……

Even as the birthday banquet began, Lu Tingting couldn't remember which of her second cousins ​​was celebrating his birthday that night.

However, she didn't have time to think about it right now; there was so much food on the table that she couldn't possibly eat it all.

Braised pork hock, braised pig's trotters, spicy fish chunks, sweet braised pork belly, and red oil chicken chunks—Lu Tingting ate with her mouth full of oil.

Jiang Moli also kept eating.

After all, they were just there to freeload, and the host might find out soon enough, so every extra bite was a bonus.

Sitting opposite Jiang Moli and Lu Tingting were a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

The mother-in-law looked quite young, not even fifty years old, and her young daughter-in-law was raising a four or five-year-old daughter.

I don't know what possessed the mother-in-law, but while she was eating peacefully, she suddenly started yelling at her daughter-in-law and granddaughter:

"Why feed a worthless girl so much?"

Jiang Moli looked up.

The daughter-in-law was clearly used to her mother-in-law's harshness. She lowered her head and continued to feed her daughter sweet braised pork belly without saying a word.

The daughter-in-law's silence did not deter the mother-in-law, who said, "You can't even give birth to a son. I don't know what use you are, such a good-for-nothing."

Under normal circumstances, Jiang Moli doesn't like to meddle in other people's business.

But the other person kept babbling and spewing saliva and food scraps all over the table, which really affected her appetite.

“Auntie, stop scolding your daughter-in-law. She learned it from your mother. Didn’t your mother also give birth to a good-for-nothing like you?”

The middle-aged woman, with a long face, said, "Who are you? What's it to you?"

"Never mind who I am. It's a terrible thing to be sitting at the same table with you. Can you please just shut up? Your mouth smells like it's been pickled for ten or eight years. It stinks to high heaven."

The old woman's face turned black with anger: "Someone as sharp-tongued as you is lucky. If you had married into our family, you would have been beaten countless times for daring to talk back to your elders."

Jiang Moli smiled and said, "You're quite lucky. In our family, a wicked mother-in-law like you who always causes trouble would have been beaten to death long ago."

Hearing the two arguing, the guests all turned to look in their direction.

Lu Tingting also watched the show while munching on chicken wings.

Although the way that dead woman bullied her was annoying, she found it very satisfying when she confronted outsiders.

The woman slammed her hand on the table in anger: "Whose family are you?"

"What do you care whose family I am? Anyway, I'm not yours. Mind your own business and you won't die young."

The older woman was so angry she nearly fell over, pointing at her and yelling, "You're so young, yet you have absolutely no manners!"

Jiang Moli chuckled lightly: "You're so old, yet you're still so unreasonable."

"You, wait for me!"

"I can wait, but I'm afraid you can't afford to live." The old woman looked at her with such hatred that she wanted to devour her alive.

She had never met anyone so annoying in her entire life.

"Disdain value +1, 10000 yuan credited."

After asking around, I still didn't know Jiang Moli or Lu Tingting.

The older woman's gaze towards the two men gradually turned suspicious, and she then got up and went towards the head of the table.

No sooner had the older woman left than Jiang Moli put down her chopsticks and tugged at Lu Tingting, saying, "Let's go."

Lu Tingting was happily gnawing on a pig's trotter when she heard this, and without even looking up, she said, "I'm not full yet."

Jiang Moli glanced at the mountain of bones piled up in front of her. "You're still not full after eating so much?"

"You take care of me."

"Then you can eat slowly, I'll go first."

Having said that, he got up and left.

Staring at Jiang Moli's hurried figure, Lu Tingting couldn't help but feel suspicious.

That woman, who's always been fearless, actually left early this time?
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
She immediately abandoned her food, threw down her chopsticks, and chased after Jiang Moli out of the restaurant.

The older woman quickly led the host family over. Seeing that no one was sitting, she looked up and saw Jiang Moli and Lu Tingting walking out of the restaurant one after the other.

Where are they?!

The host stared at Jiang Moli and Lu Tingting for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Hmm, aren't these two relatives of ours?"

Good heavens, they were just two con artists who freeloaded!

"You two, stop right there!"

Jiang Moli glanced back at the group of middle-aged women who had chased after them, then turned and ran.

Seeing her run, Lu Tingting followed suit.

Although she had no idea why she was running.

The two ran like the wind for three blocks before finally shaking off their pursuers.

Lu Tingting was so tired she could barely straighten her back. Panting, she pointed at her and said, "You, you lied to me again! He's not my second cousin at all! You dared to go in for a banquet with someone you don't even know, you've got some nerve!"

“You eat just as much as I do.”

Jiang Moli stood with her hands on her hips, equally exhausted.

The notification that my dislike points had been credited kept popping into my head, which meant that my aunt had gone back to the birthday banquet and was complaining about me to everyone.

For just two yuan, I not only had a big meal, but I also earned over twenty points of dislike.

Not a loss.

"Run! They're coming!"

Lu Tingting was startled. She turned around and found no one there. She was so angry that she punched Jiang Moli.

"Do you want to die!"

Jiang Moli laughed heartily, "What's there to be afraid of? We already gave a gift."

Lu Tingting glared at her, "Then why did you run away?"

"I like running, it's good exercise. Are you full? If not, let's go somewhere else to eat."

Lu Tingting huffed and puffed, "If I ever believe your nonsense again, I'm a pig!"

"Then I'll buy you a bag of feed tomorrow."

"Ugh! You're so annoying!"

Jiang Moli laughed: "It's good that you hate me. It would be troublesome if you fell in love with me."

Even if someone likes dogs, they wouldn't like you!

"Then you should marry a dog and have a litter of puppies."

Lu Tingting was furious.

……

In the stillness of the night, I could hear the sounds of snoring.

Jiang Qing, or rather Wei Qing, was not sleepy at all.

Jiang Moli not only moved her household registration back to the countryside, but also changed her surname back to her biological father's surname.

Her biological father, Wei Fu, was from Lianhua Village and died more than ten years ago.

Before Wei Fu died, he left behind two thatched houses, but they had fallen into disrepair and were no longer habitable. She is currently staying at her uncle's house.

Her uncle's family has many children, and there aren't enough rooms, so she has to share a bed with her cousin, Wei Shan.
