When they arrived at the front yard, the three tables were almost fully occupied.
Lin Dongfang glanced at the main table, where Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and the others were sitting.
They were all influential figures in the courtyard, so they naturally had to sit at the main table.
Lin Dongfang looked at the other tables. There were basically no tables that were connected.
After thinking about it, Lin Dongfang decided to choose the main table. It was more spacious, and it was easier to pick up food when eating.
"Third Uncle, can we sit here?”
As a guest, he naturally had to ask first.
Yan Bugui nodded with a smile,"Of course you can. Please have a seat."”
After getting permission, Lin Dongfang sat down with his sister and prepared to start the banquet.
"Hey, Lin Dongfang, you can sit here, but your sister can't.”
"This is a seat prepared for the old lady. We must know how to respect our elders.”
Lin Dongfang was slightly stunned. Was he looking for trouble?
Yan Bugui didn't say anything, but he jumped out first.
"Get lost. What does my sister sitting have to do with you?”
Lin Dongfang naturally wouldn't hold back when it came to his sister.
Yi Zhonghai did not expect Lin Dongfang to not give him face.
However, a head-on confrontation was clearly not the right way.
Yi Zhonghai quickly looked at Yan Bugui." Old Yan, what's your arrangement? When the old lady comes, where will you let her sit?"”
Yan Bugui's expression changed. He was too happy today to think about it.
The number of people at the three tables had been calculated, so they would definitely be able to sit down.
The only difference was who sat on the main seat.
Now that Lin Dongfang had already sat down, he definitely couldn't let him stand up.
Otherwise, when Silly Zhu returned, no one would be able to take care of him if he made a scene.
Besides, Lin Dongfang had helped him so much. If he let Lin Dongfang leave, it would be even more unreasonable.
Yan Bugui pointed at another table.
"Where can I sit?"
Yi Zhonghai's face darkened when he saw that.
"Old Yan, the Old Lady is the ancestor of our courtyard. Where are you going to let the Old Lady sit?”
Yan Bugui didn't dare to say anything as it would offend people.
At this moment, Lin Dongfang stood up.
"Yi Zhonghai, what's wrong? Can't you eat?”
"If you're so concerned about the old lady, why don't you give up your seat for the old lady?”
Yi Zhonghai felt very uncomfortable after hearing her words.
He was a big shot. Did he have to sit at the same table as the ordinary residents in the courtyard?
Then where was his dignity as a master?
After thinking for a while, Yi Zhonghai immediately diverted his attention and said,"
"Lin Dongfang, you are the director of the rolling mill. You can sit here, but your sister is a junior. She should give up her seat to her elders.”
This preaching could be said to have taken advantage of people's psychology.
Yi Zhonghai had used this method to obtain the title of Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue.
But this was useless to Lin Dongfang.
"Haha." " Yi Zhonghai," Lin Dongfang sneered." My sister doesn't know who the old lady is. He's just your elder, not my sister's elder."”
"You keep saying that you have to respect your elders, but where is your respect?”
"Where are your actions? Where are your morals? Where is your sense of shame?”
This…
Yi Zhonghai was speechless. No matter what he said, Lin Dongfang had a way to refute him.
Moreover, he could even lead the topic to himself.
If he didn't give in now, it would seem like he wasn't respecting his elders.
At this moment, Aunt Yi came out with the old lady.
Lin Dongfang looked at him and smiled." Yi Zhonghai, your godmother is here. Hurry up and give up your seat. Do you want to be an unfilial son?"”
Yi Zhonghai's face turned even uglier after being scolded.
Everyone in the quad knew that the old lady had the best relationship with Yi Zhonghai.
But it wasn't good enough to acknowledge her as a godmother.
If Yi Zhonghai denied it, it would be unfilial. If he didn't deny it, the old lady would be criticized if she wanted to help during meetings in the future.
After thinking about it, Yi Zhonghai felt that it was better to get through the current difficulties first.
"Old lady, you're here. Hurry up and sit down.”
Yi Zhonghai ignored Lin Dongfang and turned to fawn on the old lady.
The two of them really looked like mother and son.
"Good, good, good. Today is the Yan family's big day, you don't have to worry about me.”
The old lady smiled and sat down.
Meanwhile, Yi Zhonghai brought Aunt Yi to look for other seats.
Before he left, Yi Zhonghai glared at Lin Dongfang and thought,"
"So what if you're sitting in the main seat? I'm still the number one master of this courtyard. When the time comes, everyone will only come over to toast me. Who cares about you!”
After Yi Zhonghai left, the small interlude finally came to an end.
Yan Bugui stood up and looked at Lin Dongfang with gratitude. Then, he turned around and went back to arrange the dishes.
At this moment, Zhao Jinmai whispered into Lin Dongfang's ear,""Brother, was I rude just now?”
"Why do you ask that?" Lin Dongfang was stunned.”
Zhao Jinmai glanced at Yi Zhonghai and said,""As a junior, I should have given up my position, but that uncle just now was too hypocritical and didn't seem like a good person.”
"That's why I don't want to give up. Brother, you won't blame me, right?”
Lin Dongfang smiled and shook his head." It's fine. Why would I blame you? We don't have to give in."”
He didn't expect Zhao Jinmai's eyes to be so sharp.
As long as it was someone she had met before, she could basically tell what kind of person they were.
Just like when he first saw Silly Pillar.
Now that she saw Yi Zhonghai, she could see his hypocrisy.
Soon, the dishes were served on the table. The first dish was braised pork with preserved vegetables.
There were seven or eight slices of meat on the small plate, and the bottom was covered with preserved vegetables.
Lin Dongfang picked up a piece and placed it in his sister's bowl.
"Come, try it.”
Zhao Jinmai didn't stand on ceremony at all. He took a big bite, and his mouth was full of oil. He even smiled with satisfaction."Mmm, it's delicious. Brother, you should eat too.”
After saying that, Zhao Jinmai gave half of the bowl to Lin Dongfang.
Lin Dongfang tasted it and it was indeed not bad. It was comparable to Silly Zhu.
After finishing the food in his mouth, Lin Dongfang was about to eat again when he suddenly realized that everyone around him was looking at him.
Lin Dongfang didn't care. He picked up a piece for himself and a piece for his sister. Then, he smiled and said to everyone.
"What are you all standing there for? Get some food!"
