Chapter 58 Neighbors Get Married at Night

The tiger bone wine Zhou You bought was delivered before dark.

The deliveryman was still the young man in blue, Du He, who moved 10 jars of tiger bone wine to Zhou You's doorstep.

"Drink some water, little brother."

Zhou Youniang brought him some water to drink and asked enthusiastically, "How much do you get paid a month for doing this job?"

The young man in blue hesitated and replied, "10 taels."

"Oh, that's a lot. My old man just..."

Zhou You listened nearby and silently moved the tiger bone wine back to the room.

For a powerful warrior, earning 10 taels of silver every month sounds a bit too little.

But just now, Old Man Zhou taught him a lesson that there are hidden benefits and extra income from working.

The young man in blue is a powerful warrior who works at Xingrentang. When he buys secret medicine, will he get the internal employee price?

Maybe the other person's life is even more comfortable than his!
"Your neighborhood is so lively, with red silk hanging on the door frame. Are they getting married?"

When Du He came to deliver goods, he passed by Mou Laoyao's house and saw that the whole family was busy.

"What? That's too hasty! Why didn't I hear any joyful sounds?"

Zhou Youniang was shocked. The man had just arrived during the day, and they were in a hurry to get married at night.

She looked at Zhou You, who shook his head, indicating that she should stop talking and that they should ignore the family's affairs.

Given Mou Laoyao's stinginess, it is possible that he would not hire a musical instrument band just to save money and would just get married by hanging a foot or two of red cloth at the door.

After drinking the water, Du He politely returned the ladle and said, "Auntie, I'm leaving first."

"Guest, please come and take care of your business next time."

"Definitely next time."

After the young man in blue Du He left, Zhou You finished moving the tiger bone wine. At this time, Old Man Zhou also came back from his walk after dinner.

"You'er, Mr. Mou is hosting a banquet tonight but he didn't invite us. How stingy, really stingy."

"Although our two families have fallen out, we have been neighbors for so many years, so I have to give him a red envelope of 1 or 2 taels."

Old Man Zhou spoke in a sour tone. He was a man who cared a lot about his reputation. Whenever there were weddings or funerals among his neighbors, he would always give his share of the money.

Even though the banquet was shabby, with only large bones and cabbage without even a few slices of fat, he still ate happily.

This is how human relationships work. If you take me seriously, I will support you and give you face.

Mou Laoyao rushed to host the banquet, but he refused to invite his old neighbors.

"If you don't want to invite me, then don't invite me!"

Zhou You patted his chest and said, "Tomorrow, I will invite you to have a first-class meal at Zhaijinlou."

"It's my money." Father Zhou refused decisively, "I won't eat it."

"His father, Mr. Mou wants his son to marry a concubine..."

As soon as Zhou Youniang opened her mouth, her father corrected her, "You are not marrying a concubine, you are clearly marrying a wife."

Some time ago, Mou Laoyao's family had been announcing to the public that they were marrying a concubine!

"His son didn't do a good job at the restaurant and ruined everything. As a result, he was sent to wash dishes in the kitchen."

"Haha, a dishwasher dares to marry a concubine? Can't Li Erlangzi, the rickshaw driver, marry a third concubine?"

Father Zhou laughed, but was reminded by Zhou Youniang, "If Mou Xiaoli gets married tonight, I'm afraid his family will have a grandson next year."

The scene fell into silence. Zhou You realized that something was wrong and turned back to his room.

"You'er, why are you walking so fast? Keep talking!"

A slightly shabby wedding banquet was being held in front of Mou Laoyao's house.

Although the guests were mentally prepared, they were still shocked by the family's stinginess when they arrived at the scene.

The tea leaves were soaked until they turned white, but I kept adding boiling water to them. When I drank it, it tasted just like plain water.

There were a few sugar granules on the plate that looked like sheep dung eggs, which made people reluctant to reach out for them. There was not a speck of oil on the boiled cabbage, and the only solid dish was fried beans with oil residue.

"Mou Laoyao, today he made a profit."

The guests calculated that even if they moved the tables and chairs away, their contributions would not be enough to recoup their investment.

Although the banquet was shabby and the wedding wine was either as bland as water or so sour that it could be used as vinegar, the bride was still very beautiful.

How could such a person who looks like a fairy from heaven end up in Mou Laoyao's house? He will have to look forward to suffering in the future!
The groom, Mou Xiaoli, was so happy that his nose was bubbling with joy, and he stared at his new bride with his eyes fixed.

He has been working hard recently, washing dishes in cold water, and the knuckles of his hands have turned white.

However, Mou Xiaoli still wanted to make a comeback and was determined not to leave Zhaijinlou.

I felt unconvinced when I thought of Zhou You. What's so great about that? Even if my generation can't do it, my son will be able to eat in the private room on the second floor in the future. Then it will be your son's turn to serve him.

Mou Xiaoli looked at the bride's profile and became more and more fascinated. In the past, he would never have dared to dream of marrying such a beautiful wife.

The faint fragrance coming from the other person made him feel uncomfortable and bloated in his abdomen and crotch.

When Mou Xiaoli thought of the intoxicating scenery in the bridal chamber, he felt that the first half of his life had been lived in vain.

Men and women, is a man without a wife still a man?

No matter how high the status of Zhou You next door is, he has no wife and is a bachelor.

Mou Xiaoli felt a sense of superiority in his heart. At least in this respect, he had already won over Zhou You.

"It's getting late, everyone please go back!"

As soon as Mou Lao Mo spoke, the guests all waited for him to distribute the wedding eggs. This was a classic moment.

"What, quail eggs?"

The guests were all dumbfounded. In all their lives, they had never heard of using quail eggs to make wedding eggs. Isn't that shabby?

The finger-sized festive eggs looked at them like mocking eyes.

The guests completely exploded, cursing and leaving without looking back.

"My lady, let's go to the bridal chamber!"

Mou Xiaoli grabbed the new bride's hand. Although there were guests cursing all around him, he could not hear any of them.

"Yes, sir!"

The new bride's cheeks were flushed with blush, making her look even more beautiful.

Mou Xiaoli couldn't wait to pick up his new bride and hurried into the bridal chamber.

"This kid is even more impatient than I was back then. Don't make your new wife suffer."

Mou Laoyao was nagging about cleaning up the dishes, soup, and leftovers, collecting them in a wooden barrel and saving them for his family to eat, without wasting a single bit.

During this time, several wild dogs came over to beg for food, but he kicked them away.

The wild dogs barked wildly, accusing the family of being inhumane, and the chaos lasted for a long time.

"This bag of festive eggs is for Old Zhou's family!"

After cleaning up, Mou Laoyao saw that there were still a few bags of wedding eggs left, so he called his wife to hand him a bag.

The old wife looked puzzled, "Didn't you have a falling out with their family?"

"That's why I didn't invite them to dinner, but as neighbors, they have to pay for their share of the bill."

Mou Laoyao was calculating, "You gave them the eggs, and that's the meaning. Lao Zhou is a face-loving man, so he should give us a share of one and a half taels of silver, right?"

"Hurry up and go, Lao Zhou just got promoted recently and made a lot of money."

The old wife left with the eggs in her arms, doubtful, and returned a moment later intact.

"His son doesn't want it, saying our eggs are too small and will get stuck in his teeth."

The youngest of the Mou clan was furious. "This is outrageous! Old Zhou's son is so shameless. He deserves to not be able to find a wife!"

This was the most vicious curse he could think of.
