Infinite Murder Mystery Game: The Beauty with a Delicate Palm
Chapter 164 The Banquet Begins
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is an honor that Mr. Mao has given us this opportunity to attend the engagement ceremony. Here, I wish the eldest son and the bride a long and happy life together."
Applause erupted, and Tiffany lowered her voice, "Is DM inside?"
The older twin sister: "As it stands now..."
Twin sister: "That's how it is."
Everyone: ...
The two sisters hadn't spoken a word, and when they did, it was incredibly strange. Qiao Yinuo scratched her face and suddenly understood the diversity of species.
If they hadn't come together from the beginning, she would have thought the two sisters really looked like NPCs.
"We are public servants from the city. We are here in the countryside to help our people escape poverty and improve their lives!"
He didn't use any technical jargon about policy; instead, he used simple, easy-to-understand language so that the villagers could immediately grasp it. When they heard that it was beneficial to the villagers, they all applauded.
Mr. Mao handed over the microphone, and the public official patted the microphone and introduced it to the side.
"This is Chen Xihuai, the person in charge of our project."
Everyone followed his gesture and looked over, Su Mian's gaze falling on the tall figure.
His black hair was slicked back, and he wore a black fur-trimmed cape over a dark-colored warlord outfit, exuding both iron-blooded authority and elegant nobility.
He wore a white mask, making his identity self-evident.
Su Mian almost didn't recognize him. She could only say that the black hair and slicked-back style had a unique charm. She propped herself up with her hands, her eyes fixed on him, her appreciation undisguised.
"We plan to recruit our fellow villagers to participate in our ongoing projects in the neighboring county, such as the forest mushroom cooperative, the homestay cluster, and the agricultural e-commerce live streaming base."
He spread his hands, "Everyone is welcome to sign up. Once you have experience, we can use these projects to directly drive the development of the village. I believe that soon, both Xiangshan Village and Yashan Village will be able to create their own new world!"
"Great! Well said, leader!"
"I want to go! I want to go make money!"
"These old folks, their arms and legs can't take this kind of strain. Let the young people do it..."
Amidst the murmurs, the banquet began. Mao's father was getting impatient, his palms sweating as he watched Mao Rongjun, who was still not home.
His gaze passed over the elderly men and women serving the food and looked towards the distant Yashan Village, completely unaware that his son had already died in battle.
The host didn't offer toasts, but several leaders started doing so. Su Mian focused on eating and had already had two or three bowls of wine. Qiao Yinuo was already used to it, but Tiffany was dumbfounded.
She remembered that during that instance, when everyone was by the Mill River, Su Mian would vomit after only a couple of bites. She hadn't expected her to be such a big eater. It turned out that she didn't dislike eating; she simply couldn't stomach white food.
No wonder they went to pick grapes later, afraid of going hungry. Looking at them now, they're just too cute.
Tiffany used to scoff at it, but now she's just so adorable.
Indeed, prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain.
Su Mian ate with such focus that the rural feast had a rustic charm, the smoke from the cooking fires and the aroma of the oily soup were simply delightful.
Old duck soup, glutinous rice, steamed fish, sugar-coated glutinous rice cakes, boiled shrimp—I ate these once last year during the Lunar New Year in Suspension, and I haven't had them since. I really miss them.
She buried herself in her food, noticing the strange looks from the people opposite her. Tiffany coughed, trying to alert Su Mian DM that she was coming over.
Su Mian was unaware of it until she looked up and saw that everyone's eyes were focused on the top of her head.
She realized there was someone standing behind her.
Before he could turn his head, a black leather glove was placed on his head and gently touched.
"Please get to know each other, enjoy your meal and drinks, I won't offer any more toasts."
The familiar cueing process was followed by overly brief remarks, which left the group somewhat bewildered before they were even ready to leave at 9:00 AM.
He was used to sleeping in, and his usual way of slacking off was to avoid work. He just didn't expect that someone would pinch the back of her neck and whisper in her ear when no one else could see.
"Eating too fast will make your stomach uncomfortable, Mianmian."
Su Mian's ears instantly felt warm, and she nodded slightly.
"So... now it's time for self-introductions?"
Tiffany finally realized that the twins had seen the clock hanging in the house and that it was starting to rotate counterclockwise, so she pointed at it.
Twin sister: "Countdown."
Twin sister: "Ten minutes."
Tiffany: "I'll go first."
"My name is Zhao Ahua, and I live in Xiangshan Village. My elderly relatives have difficulty walking, but out of courtesy, I attended their engagement banquet on their behalf. I am not the bride, and I only found out the groom's name today."
Qiao Yinuo wiped her mouth, took a sip of orange juice, and said, "My name is Qiao Fugui. My mother is seriously ill and hospitalized. I am currently helping my father sell pork. My family is very poor. I came here just to mooch a few meals."
When it was the new girl's turn, she gave a smile and held the script in her hand. Usually, those who have a physical script are people who are entering the infinite script murder game for the first time. The twin sisters showed a look of pity.
"My name is Meng Yaya. I am a volunteer teacher in Yashan Village. I live in the county town, which is the place where those leaders just mentioned organizing the project. I find this place very strange."
Her eyes were glued to the script, afraid of uttering a single wrong word, "because every night someone would pass by my house, crunching the leaves under their feet."
"I met Mao Rongjun in the county town. He wasn't as glamorous as the villagers described. He was of average appearance and build, and he was just a salesman."
"I look down on him because his current glory is all fake. He pretends to be very powerful, but in reality, he has been asked to pay his room bill for a long time."
"How do you know he's been pressured to pay his room bill for a long time?" Tiffany asked, puzzled.
"Because... he and I are neighbors in the same building."
After saying that, Meng Yaya closed the script, belatedly realizing her regret.
"Did I talk too much?"
Qiao Yinuo grinned broadly, "It's okay, it's okay, I just like you the way you are."
The older twin sister: "I come from the village of Yashan."
Twin sister: "Me too."
The older twin sister: "My name is Sun Er."
Twin sister: "My name is Sun Jiu."
"Wait, wait..." Tiffany rubbed her temples. "Do you two have to talk like that?"
The two sisters exchanged a glance, and the older sister spoke up, "Actually, it's not necessary, but if we don't talk like this, we'll easily start arguing."
Sun Jiu: "What do you mean by 'it's easy to start an argument'? I don't even bother arguing with you."
Sun Er: "So what are you doing now? Barking like a dog?"
Sun Jiu: "That's hilarious! If I'm a dog, then what are you?"
Seeing the tension between the two escalating, Su Mian covered her sister's ears, and Sun Jiu immediately quieted down, gesturing for Sun Er to continue.
Sun Er was stunned; he truly hadn't expected it to be like this.
