C111 Make a Fool of Himself in Public
"Zhou Wulue, what are you planning?" Zhou Xiuli asked.
"Why can't I understand Third Sister's words? We all have good intentions." Zhou Wulue's expression seemed rather sincere.
"Is that so? Then you burned down big brother's house and our car, is that also your good intentions? I can't stand this kind of kindness! "
Zhou Wulue's face turned cold: "Don't not appreciate me for giving you a way out. In the end, both you and Mingyue have blood on them from Zhou Family. Don't tell me you really want me to be ruthless to you?"
"Alright, alright." Qin Yi quickly tried to smooth things over, "We're all family, there's no need to keep insisting after making a ruckus."
"As expected of brother-in-law." Zhou Wulue smiled and nodded, "Then, let's go? The car is waiting outside. "
The four of them were brought over by Zhou Wulue to Zhou Family Great House. When they arrived, they discovered that the house was unusually lively tonight. There were several round tables in the courtyard and around five or six people sat around each table.
So these people were the relatives of Old Mrs Zhou. Many of them lived in nearby villages and towns, and they had all come to attend the funeral of Old Master Zhou tomorrow. They would be staying in the mansion tonight as well.
If not for the fact that white lanterns were still hung inside the house, those who didn't know what kind of holiday it was would think it was. The courtyard was bustling with noise, and servants of Zhou Family were shuttling through it carrying steaming hot dishes.
Zhou Wulue got someone to set a table on the side and arranged for Zhou Xiuli and the others to sit here. Soon, they also got some food.
Directly to the north of the courtyard was a slightly larger round table. The seat of honor was placed in the center of the round table. Clearly, this was Old Mrs Zhou's seat.
Shen Lang looked around and casually said, "Sitting in this courtyard for dinner is really quite interesting. It would be even more interesting if the surrounding electric lamps could be changed into torches."
Qin Mingyue looked at him uneasily. "You're so relaxed. You're still in the mood to pay attention to all this."
Shen Lang said loudly, "You need to be in a good mood to not panic. Come, come, let's eat. All of these dishes look pretty good."
Zhou Wencai quietly reminded Shen Lang that Zhou Family's old lady hadn't sat down yet, and that the others weren't allowed to use their chopsticks. Shen Lang turned his head to look, and sure enough, even though all the other tables were full, no one was allowed to take a bite.
"I'm not that particular." Shen Lang opened his stomach and started to eat without any hesitation.
About ten minutes later, Zhou Ping helped his mother, Wang Lanfang, to sit down at the round table. Zhou Wulue also asked some of the important family members to sit down at the round table. Finally, Old Mrs Zhou came over slowly with the support of two servants.
"Everyone, tomorrow will be the day when my old man is buried. Everyone has come to attend the funeral, I am very grateful. Thank you very much, everyone." Old Madam Zhou clasped her hands at the crowd.
Then, she continued, "Everyone here is a member of my Zhou Family. There are many interactions I have with the elders, and we are all familiar with each other. Other than my daughter Zhou Xiuli's family, let me introduce everyone."
Old Mrs Zhou pointed with her finger. Everyone's gaze turned towards Zhou Xiuli's table.
"Zhou Xiuli? Haven't you come back in over 20 years? How could she still have the face to come back? "
"Isn't it so? Back then, because of a poor brat, he fell out with his family, making everyone know that our Zhou Family has an unfilial daughter."
"The middle-aged man at the side should be her husband. He looks like a real person. Could it be that he's struck it rich?"
Tch, you're really rich, can't you sit at the same table as Old Mrs Zhou? "In my opinion, it's just a matter of dressing up properly and going back to the village to bolster your reputation."
"That's true. He's like the son of my neighbor. Every time he comes back, he works outside, but he's always dressed up. I once heard his family quarrelling. His son was only paid two thousand dollars a month, so I couldn't even get a blind date for him.
Old Mrs Zhou purposely paused for a moment for the rest of the relatives to discuss before she continued, "Those two juniors are Xiu-li's daughter and son-in-law. "Come, Mingyue and Shen Lang, introduce yourself to everyone."
Qin Mingyue stood up, "Various elders, junior Qin Mingyue, currently resides in Jindu City, is … It's a teacher. "
"Oh? Being a teacher at such a young age, is he a teacher at an early age? " someone asked.
Before Qin Mingyue could reply, another person asked, "How much is a month? I heard that the young master's salary isn't that high."
"Aiya, she's at least a bunch of kids, and she's not tired. It's quite suitable for a girl."
"Um, Shen Lang, what are you doing?"
Shen Lang cleared his throat, "I opened a small shop, the business is average, it's okay to live there."
"Yo, I thought it was at least a white-collar worker."
"Jindu City is a big city, the rent for opening a shop is not cheap, can you save up some money?"
"Didn't you hear them say that it's a small shop? If a small shop can have more large door noodles …"
Everyone started to talk animatedly about Qin Mingyue and Shen Lang. Their words were filled with mockery, causing Zhou Xiuli and Qin Yi to feel awkward.
After they finished discussing their work, someone asked if they had any children.
Hearing that Qin Mingyue hadn't said anything yet, the group of people started spouting all sorts of nonsense.
Some people even directly asked the two if there was something wrong with their bodies and they couldn't have children.
Before Qin Mingyue could explain, someone lamented that Qin Yi was on the verge of extinction, making Qin Yi so angry that he almost fainted.
Seeing Shen Lang and Qin Mingyue make a fool of themselves in public, Zhou Xiuli and Liu Tie's faces turned green with anger, but they did not dare to flare up. Zhou Wulue's family was in a great mood, and they would have laughed out loud if Old Man Zhou had not been buried.
"Alright everyone, calm down." Old Mrs Zhou acted as if she was stopping everyone's discussion and interrogations, and then shouted out loud: "Our TanLoong Village, today we have an esteemed guest, the honored guest of TanLoong Village, is naturally my esteemed guest, this is a great young talent, everyone, your families are famous and talented, but you are truly a dragon among men!"
Before he had even appeared, Old Mrs Zhou had already praised him to such an extent, causing the relatives of the Zhou Family to be endlessly curious. They stretched their necks to look around, wanting to see which immortal path he had come from.
"Please, Lyu Guangliang, Master Wu Shuang!" Old Mrs Zhou waved her hand in an imposing manner.
Lyu Guangliang, who wore a luxurious suit, walked to Old Mrs Zhou's side with a confident smile under the protection of a few of his followers. At the same time, he waved at everyone with an air of respect.
Zhou Wencai, who was sitting beside Zhou Xiuli, sighed heavily, "Well … There was no sign of a funeral … "Hai."
Under Old Mrs Zhou's instructions, Zhou Wulue introduced Lyu Guangliang, saying that Young Master Lyu had an illustrious background due to Hai Hui Gao's education, and that the one who had come this time was the richest man in the family, Xie Rongying.
The rest of the Zhou Family s were in an uproar as their faces were filled with shock.
It was known that Zhou Family was a rich and powerful family, but these clansmen who came here from outside the city this evening did not expect that they were strong enough to be connected to Xie Rongying.
"Old Madam Zhou has really broadened our horizons. We are sincerely convinced and admire her from the bottom of our hearts!" A clan elder sitting at the same table as Old Mrs Zhou praised.

Someone else chimed in, "Our Zhou Family is being controlled by Old Madam Zhou, it's the fortune of our family members!"
The sounds of flattery followed one after another. Not only did this give Old Mrs Zhou special face, it also made Zhou Wulue's family of three, who were sitting next to her, want to jump up into the sky.
Qin Yi and Zhou Xiuli both looked quite embarrassed. Previously, they heard from Qin Mingyue that this group of people who came here to inspect their Jindu City were in the same group as her.
Everyone was aware of Xie Rongying's reputation as the richest man in the country. He had single-handedly created a huge business empire. Not only was he rich, he also had a lot of influence.
"Daughter, do our Qin Family and Xie Rongying have any business interactions? "What is your relationship?" Qin Yi asked.
"There is, but …" Qin Family and the Xie Clan are not even on the same level. Even I am not in contact with Xie Rongying himself. "
"Didn't our family enter the Alkaid Guild? "Then can you follow Xie Rongying through the guild …"
Qin Mingyue shook her head. "Qin Family is only the level of ordinary members, and … Not only did Xie Rongying not join Alkaid Guild, even the president of Alkaid Guild had to be polite with him. In other words, with Xie Rongying as my backer, my identity as the Master of Qin Family and also a member of Alkaid Guild is not worth mentioning. "
