Chapter 83 - 083. Raising Earthworms
It’s rare to have such a lavish meal, and coincidentally, there were two bottles of white liquor among the return gifts Lianshan and his crew brought.
Usually quite fond of a drink himself, Shouyi wasted no time in opening a bottle: "Hey, kids’ mom, hurry and bring the wine glasses. It’s rare to have such a great atmosphere and delicious food. Let’s get some glasses and have a good drink, just the three of us brothers! It’s my brother-in-law’s first visit since the wedding. As his brother-in-law, I ought to give him a warm welcome, shouldn’t I?"
"Enough of that, with your drinking habits—not a drinker when you should be, yet easily knocked over by a single sip. You’re talking about having a few glasses, but make sure you don’t end up under the table after two sips from the tiny cups. That won’t showcase hospitality, only give everyone a chance to laugh at you!
Look at this table full of food; everyone would be better off eating more chicken, fish, meat, and eggs rather than drinking that strong stuff." To be honest, Su Hongying is satisfied with Shouyi in almost every way, except for his fondness for a drink, despite having hardly any alcohol tolerance.
Not wanting her husband to drink excessively and suffer, or lose face, naturally made her resist his suggestion for a drink.
Suddenly exposed by his own wife, while noticing his elder brother and younger sister grinning and his brother-in-law trying to suppress his laughter, Shouyi felt somewhat embarrassed: "Hey, stop babbling! Just get the wine glasses quickly!"
"Really, am I just focused on drinking?
The way someone drinks reflects their character; I’m just helping test my sister’s husband’s alcohol tolerance and manners!"
Even without support, one must build their way out gracefully, for us men always need to maintain our dignity.
