Chapter 183: His Lifelong Reputation is Gone
The lunch was truly lavish, featuring meat, eggs, and fish. Although such a feast was common at the Lu Family, it was considered utmost luxury at the Shen Family. Not only did they have these dishes, but Lv Qinlan and Su Xiaomei also made sour cabbage and pork dumplings, a big bowl for everyone, generously filled with meat.
Shen Meng didn’t say much; the meal was cheerful and enjoyed by all. Uncle Guai was a bit flushed from drinking but still remembered to check on his ox outside, afraid that someone would mistreat his old buddy.
Shen Fugui tried to toast more, but was glared at by Shen Meng, sheepishly putting his wine cup down and stuffing a dumpling into his mouth.
"Look, daughters know best. No matter how many times we repeat it at home, this stubborn old man sneaks a drink now and then. Without a word from his daughter, just a glare made him hurriedly put it down, hmph!"
"How can you compare to my daughter? My daughter cares about my wellbeing, you all just worry I’ll spend money, skimping on me!"
"This old geezer, just hurry up and eat, even food can’t shut you up."
Uncle Guai took the opportunity while everyone’s attention was on Shen Fugui, quickly sipping the last bit of wine from his glass.
"Ah, marvelous! Another bite of dumpling, even if deities arrived they wouldn’t trade places. My in-law is right, my girl is the same, always fussing about whether it’s too hot or cold, reminding to add clothes, making sure everything about meals is well managed, like a little housekeeper. Xiao Bin better not complain when she marries over!"
