Chapter 372 Extra Chapter 33 Feast 2
"Xiao Jiang, come on, have a bowl of plum juice."
Chu's mother diligently placed the sour plum drink in front of Jiang Moli, saying, "This sour plum drink is homemade. It contains dried tangerine peel, which is both refreshing and thirst-quenching."
Jiang Moli smiled and nodded at the other person, "Okay, thank you, Aunt Xu."
"Don't mention it. You and Shanshan are good friends, so it's only right that I, as your aunt, take care of you. If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll go take care of my business now."
The 200 yuan dowry that Jiang Moli gave made her daughter look good in front of her in-laws and guests. Not to mention that Jiang Moli's in-laws were powerful and influential, and others couldn't curry favor with them.
Affection level +1, income 10000 yuan.
After Chu's mother left, Qian Ling said to Jiang Moli with a smile, "The recipe for this sour plum drink was given to Aunt Xu by my mother. It's quite delicious. Moli, you should try it."
As he spoke, he picked up his bowl and started drinking.
Jiang Moli took a small sip and put it down, not daring to drink too much.
One of the main ingredients in sour plum drink is hawthorn. Hawthorn is not good for pregnant women, so it's best to eat it sparingly.
Another thing is that she offended a lot of people in the past in order to earn dislike points.
It's no secret that she's pregnant with triplets now, and who knows if someone might deliberately retaliate by adding something to her soup.
Call her paranoid or not, she would never risk the baby in her belly.
Several guests walked past the two.
One of them pointed at Jiang Moli and whispered to the others, "It was her, she gave a 200 yuan gift!"
"Wow, what kind of family do they come from, spending so lavishly?"
The chatter faded away as the guests walked away.
Qian Ling couldn't help but bring up the fact that Jiang Moli gave her 200 yuan as a gift, saying, "Moli, you didn't need to give so much money. The thought is what counts."
Jiang Moli took out a handkerchief and wiped the plum juice stains from the corner of Qian Ling's mouth.
With a smile on his face, he said, "Don't worry, when you get married, I'll give you more than Shanshan ever did."
Qian Ling's face flushed red. "That's not what I meant..."
Jiang Moli interrupted her: "You hold a much heavier place in my heart than anyone else. I want to give you more and see you happy."
Qian Ling was deeply moved by his words. "You've been so good to me. Shan Shan and I were able to find our own happiness thanks to your guidance and encouragement. Really."
Jiang Moli said, "You have brought me a lot of joy and companionship. I hope our friendship will last forever."
Qian Ling nodded happily, "Absolutely!"
Chen Lan brought her parents and several important elders to meet Jiang Moli, partly to thank Jiang Moli as the matchmaker, and partly to thank Jiang Moli for the generous gifts she brought.
These days, it's quite common to give three or five yuan as a gift when attending a banquet.
Being able to keep up with someone in their thirties or fifties is already extremely rare.
Jiang Moli's generous offer of 200 yuan truly surprised both the Chen and Chu families.
The two exchanged pleasantries back and forth.
Jiang Moli successfully won the favor and appreciation of the Chen family with her linguistic charm.
Affection level +5, income 50000 yuan.
Jiang Moli was busy completing tasks and increasing her favorability at the wedding banquet, while Lu Tingting was confiding her troubles to her girlfriends.
Lu Tingting looked at Wu Meixia and Song Ke, as if she had made up her mind:
"Come with me to the capital; I want to find Shen Yanzhi!"
Wu Meixia and Song Ke's eyes widened in surprise.
"Tingting, stop acting crazy, it's scary."
"It's 2,000 kilometers from here to the capital, and it takes two days and two nights to get there by train."
"Even if you go, you might not be able to see Shen Yanzhi." "And even if you do see him, what's the use? He doesn't even reply to your letters; it's obvious he doesn't like you."
"With someone like Shen Yanzhi, there are plenty of women eager to throw themselves at him. He might already be taken. Wouldn't you be making things difficult for yourself if you went to him?"
Wu Meixia and Song Ke talked non-stop until their mouths were dry. Although they successfully dispelled Lu Tingting's crazy idea of "searching for love across the country," the bitterness of unrequited love and the frustration of being arranged to go on blind dates could not be eliminated from her heart.
Wu Meixia suggested, "I think you should go home and find Jiang Moli!"
Lu Tingting: "Why would I want to see her?"
"Let her help you. She's so smart and has so many ideas. She even brought Qian Ling and Chu Shan together. Maybe she can help you marry Shen Yanzhi!"
"Asking her for help? I'd rather become a nun!"
Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Tingting hurriedly said goodbye to Wu Meixia and Song Ke, and took the bus to the wedding banquet.
Little did I know there would be traffic on the way, and by the time I got off the bus it was already 12 o'clock.
The lunch banquet usually starts at 12 noon.
Lu Tingting ran all the way to the restaurant, and sure enough, the banquet had already started, with braised pig's trotters being served.
The braised pig's trotters were so tender that the skin peeled off the bone, glistening with oil and emitting an enticing aroma that Lu Tingting almost drooled.
She was too lazy to look for Jiang Moli, so she quickly went over to the empty table next to her and patted the young man next to him, "Hey, is this seat taken?"
The young man turned around, and his handsome face made Lu Tingting pause for a moment.
"No one's here, please have a seat."
Lu Tingting immediately sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating.
Dishes were served one after another.
Lu Tingting devoured the dishes: sliced beef and tripe in chili sauce, spicy chicken nuggets, braised fish, and sweet longan meat, her mouth greasy with oil.
Perhaps attracted by her eating manners, the young man frequently glanced at her.
Lu Tingting, with a bone in her mouth, mumbled, "You eat yours, why are you staring at me like that?"
The young man smiled gently, "You look unfamiliar. Who are you?"
Lu Tingting spat out a bone with a "plop," and said, "I came with my third aunt. She's the bride's good friend. What about you?"
The young man smiled, "I'm... the groom's friend."
"Oh."
Lu Tingting picked up another piece of braised pig's trotter and started gnawing on it, while secretly watching the young man's face.
To be honest, he's quite handsome.
Shortly after, someone went up to the stage directly in front of them to speak.
"Thank you to all our relatives and friends for coming to celebrate the old man's birthday. Please enjoy the food and drinks..."
Birthday banquet?
Lu Tingting suddenly looked up and saw a large "longevity" character pasted on the stage directly in front of her.
Did she go to the wrong place?
If this gets discovered, won't they just see them as scammers trying to freeload?
Lu Tingting quickly put down her chopsticks, preparing to slip away before being discovered.
The young man next to her saw her put down her chopsticks and greeted her with a smile, "Eat up, why aren't you eating?"
"I want you to take care of it!"
Lu Tingting glared at the other person, then got up and ran away.
The young man watched her "running away" and chuckled to himself.
