At this moment, Li Wuwei looked around and realized that an important person was missing, making his banquet seem incomplete.
"Third Master, why don't I see Old Lady?”
He asked about the Deaf Old Lady. They had never interacted before, but he could not be absent today.
"Aiya, I've already invited her. The old lady said that she wanted to go to the Jia family's house with Old Yi.”
Yan Bugui had no choice, he didn't have that much face.
"It's a small matter!"
Li Wuwei smiled and immediately went to the kitchen to find help.
"Silly Zhu, how could you forget about the old lady? Hurry up and carry the old lady out for fun. I won't accept her gift.”
Shazhu was stunned for a moment before she suddenly reacted." That's right, how could I forget about Madam? Wait here, I'll go get someone."”
Silly Zhu ran away in a flash. The backyard wasn't big. The Deaf Old Lady's house was next door to Li Wuwei's house. In just a few steps, Silly Zhu entered the door.
"Madam, are you still resting? It's so lively outside. Why don't you go out and take a look?”
"Silly Zhu, you came to invite Madam?"
The Deaf Old Lady's eyes lit up. She loved this silly grandson.
"Isn't that so? Li Wuwei asked me to carry you out and not accept your betrothal gift. He was a bad person, but today's banquet was decent.”
Silly Zhu subconsciously touched his pocket. It was filled with the candy that Sister Qin gave him. He had to keep it and eat it slowly.
"Aiyo, Madam can't go. She has to go to the Jia family's house with your uncle.”
Although the Deaf Old Lady was a low-income household and was given five yuan every month, she was usually taken care of by Yi Zhonghai and his wife, so she stood on the side.
"Hey, you still want to go to the Jia family's house? There are no guests there. Wouldn't it be cold and empty if you go?
Let's go. I'll carry you out. It's very lively outside. There are more than ten tables and everyone in the courtyard is here.”
Shazhu squatted down and faced the old lady with her back.
"Madam, hurry up. I still have to cook. If I'm late, my dad will scold me again.”
"Aiyo, go, go. My eldest grandson has to carry me, so I have to go.”
The Deaf Old Lady had no choice but to let Silly Zhu carry her out of the door.
"The old lady is here. Hurry up and give up your seat.”
Silly Zhu carried her out and started shouting.
"Madam, come over here quickly."
Second Aunt stood up and greeted them. Mother Xu and the others beside her quickly made way for them.
"Coming!"
Silly Zhu carried the old lady to the middle of the aunties. There were children making a fuss beside her. This made the old lady, who was originally a little conflicted, happy. She liked a lively scene.
At this moment, Yan Bugui gave Li Wuwei a big thumbs up. This bad boy was really good, he could even control the old lady.
Li Wuwei smiled. He immediately went over and greeted,""Madam, today is my wedding with Qin Huairu. You have to eat more and stay for dinner.
I'll get Silly Zhu to stew the chicken until it's mushy. You can eat it even if your teeth aren't good.”
"Good, good!"
Hearing this, the Deaf Old Lady was also happy. She insisted on giving him a gift, but she couldn't be persuaded.
Everyone could only call Yan Bugui over to register.
"Give my grandson two yuan. In the future, you have to treat your wife better.”
The old lady had heard many rumors in the courtyard. She was not blind and knew what Li Wuwei's character was like.
"Madam, this is a big deal.”
Li Wuwei actually gave her two yuan when he saw her. One had to know that the old lady only made five yuan a month.
"I should give it to you. It's a festive day today."
The old lady was grinning from ear to ear. There were people around her, and she was watching the show.
Yan Bugui took the money and registered it.
When he turned around, Li Wuwei said," Third Master, change these two yuan into white flour. Send it to the old lady's room later. I, Li Wuwei, am a bastard, but I won't take advantage of a lonely old man."”
"Good! If you want to scam people, then find someone younger…No, you should stop scamming people.”
Yan Bugui almost let it slip.
"Understood!"
Li Wuwei smiled and suddenly went to find Mrs. Chen who was helping out in the kitchen.
"Li Wuwei, is there something you need from me?"
Mrs. Chen was just an ordinary resident, so she was afraid of being targeted.
"It's a small matter. Please go and invite an auntie over. All my aunties are here, so I can't miss an auntie.
Besides, the Jia family invited an old man to drink, and this auntie didn't have a seat. Could it be that only one person was left out when the whole house was drinking?
Go and tell an auntie that the old lady misses her and ask her to come over and wait for her.”
Li Wuwei suddenly realized that even without the system, he seemed to be able to survive.
"That's good. You're a good person.”
Mrs. Chen was Yi Zhonghai's next-door neighbor and was familiar with a middle-aged woman.
He immediately wiped his hands and went to the middle court.
"Knock knock!"
"Aunt Yi, are you home?"
"I'm at home. The door isn't closed."
An auntie's voice came from the house. Mrs. Chen pushed the door open and went in. In the end, she found that an old man was also in the house, sitting there in a daze.
"Mrs. Chen, what's the matter?"
A middle-aged woman was a little confused. Yi Zhonghai also looked over.
Mrs. Chen made up her mind and simply said," It's like this. Li Wuwei asked me to invite you guys over for a drink. The old lady has already given you a gift. You're the only ones missing."”
"Did the old lady go?"
Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat. This Li Wuwei was so shameless. He must have thought of something. Otherwise, the old lady would have agreed to go to the Jia family.
"That's right. Madam is talking about the two of you and wants you to go over and wait.”
Mrs. Chen thought that since she was from the Central People's Court, it would not be so awkward if she could trick the First Uncle into going. Besides, if this matter was settled, Li Wuwei would not be able to make things difficult for her in the future.
"Then I have to go. Madam must miss me.”
An auntie could not sit still. Everyone in the courtyard was in the backyard. She did not feel good sitting there.
"What about you, First Uncle?" Mrs. Chen asked hurriedly. Other than the Jia family, you're the only one left in the entire academy.
"The main table has arranged a seat for you. The second and third grandmasters are both here. You're the first grandmaster, so you can't miss out.”
Yi Zhonghai was in a dilemma. He asked," Did Li Wuwei make any money from this banquet?”
"No, he didn't earn a single cent. The money was collected by Third Master. He didn't even touch it. Besides, the money had already been spent in advance to buy things for the banquet.
At noon, each table was priced at ten yuan, not including peanuts and melon seeds. Even the children had seats planned.
First Uncle, you have to go. Second Uncle has been complaining about our courtyard in the backyard.”
Mrs. Chen was also an expert in delivering messages. She immediately lifted Yi Zhonghai up.
"I know Old Liu. He just wants to be a small leader and show off. He doesn't have bad intentions.
However, I have to keep an eye on him. There are many workers in the factory today. I can't let him mess around and lose face for our courtyard. This is related to the year-end selection for the advanced courtyard.”
Yi Zhonghai found an excuse and stood up. Today, the Jia family had fallen and met the bad boy, Li Wuwei. He was powerless to turn the situation around and had to minimize the losses.
He, as the boss, could not stand on the opposite side of the masses.
"That's good, that's good!"
A middle-aged woman was happy. She quickly pulled the man and followed Mrs. Chen to the backyard.
Coincidentally, Jia Zhangshi wasn't there at this time. She had gone to the neighboring courtyard to get people. At noon, she had to think of a way to gather two tables.
"Yo, Old Yi, you're finally here.”
Yan Bugui's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw this old brother. No matter how he came, no, it must be Li Wuwei that kid who did it.
However, it was good that he came. He could receive another gift. He would have to add more dishes to his dinner tonight.
"Old Yi, why are you here?"
Liu Haizhong's expression did not look too good. Wasn't this making things difficult for him? It affected his position in the hearts of the workers.
"Of course. Li Wuwei asked Mrs. Chen to invite me, so how could I not come?
Madam, you're resting. I'll get Cuiyun to accompany you.”
Yi Zhonghai was also an expert, so he managed to brush it off with just a few words. He asked the auntie to go to the old lady's place first while he went to Yan Bugui's place to give the gift.
"Huai Ru, First Master is here."
Li Wuwei was shocked. He looked at Mrs. Chen, who gave him a look of affirmation.
Damn, I didn't expect that there would be someone capable among the ordinary residents in the courtyard. They were actually able to invite Yi Zhonghai over. The Jia family had even lost their last cover.
"Hello, First Uncle!"
Qin Huairu hurriedly came over to greet them. She was very happy that First Master could come. Now, all three masters in the courtyard were here.
"Alright, alright. I wish you and Li Wuwei a happy marriage.”
Yi Zhonghai did not like Li Wuwei. He had a rotten character, but Qin Huairu's moral character was not a problem. She was hardworking and simple.
Even though the work in the workshop was not technical, he never slacked off. When he returned to the courtyard, he worked day by day to take care of the family.
It was a pity that he couldn't marry Jia Dongxu.
"Thank you, First Uncle!"
Qin Huairu knew how to talk, and she made the originally awkward scene livelier.
There were many people in the courtyard who hated Li Wuwei, but not many hated Qin Huairu.
Yi Zhonghai immediately took out five yuan and handed it to Yan Bugui. It was originally for Jia Dongxu, but now it was useful.
"Yo, Old Yi, this is a big deal for you.”
Yan Bugui happily accepted the money to register.
"Grandpa Yi, smoke!"
Li Wuwei also handed over a pack of cigarettes. The process was like this. No matter how he interacted with Yi Zhonghai in the future, today was his big day. He had to get rid of all distractions and just be happy.
"Alright, alright."
Yi Zhonghai was also full of smiles, but he gave the cigarette to Silly Zhu.
"First Uncle, you're here too. It's good that you're here. With you around, Second Uncle won't be able to be so smug.”
Silly Zhu was also a joker, he dared to say anything.
"That's why I'm here. Your second uncle's words are too rash and he's easy to offend people. I have to keep an eye on him.”
Yi Zhonghai said this excuse again and then went to the table where the old masters were chatting and bragging. It was not awkward anymore.
As for the Jia family, pray for their own good. They could keep those two tables of noodles and eat more for themselves.
