Chapter 429: Attentive
After this incident, Wang Yongfu became more cautious, resolving to be extra careful when acquiring mountain goods in the future.
Just then, dinner was ready, and Lady Lin came out to call everyone to eat.
In the past, when the Wang Family dined, Wang Laozhu and Old Granny Zhang sat at the head of the table, with men on one side and women on the other, each taking their seats in order beside them.
As the eldest son, Wang Yongfu always sat next to Wang Laozhu, followed by Jindou and Jinhoo.
Wang Yongping didn’t care much about this and often sat below Jinhoo.
Wang Yonggui, who was rarely at home and known for his idle ways, didn’t dare say much and sat next to Wang Yongping.
But on this particular day, Wang Yongfu, Jindou, and Jinhoo did not take their usual seats, instead insisting that Wang Yonggui sit beside Wang Laozhu.
Initially resistant, when Wang Yonggui heard Wang Yongfu say that he was the hero of the day and deserved to sit there, he settled in contentedly.
Wang Laozhu saw how a few flattering words had made Wang Yonggui lighter on his feet and couldn’t bear to watch.
Wang Yonggui felt on top of the world, never before having received such attention from his family, and started to feel a bit smug.
However, seated directly across from him was Wang Yongzhu, whose smirk seemed to cut his reverie in half, bringing him back down to earth with newfound humility.
