The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1352: Chapter 1352: Persuading to Drink

In the end, only Second Zhou was still yelling over there.

Daniu tried to refuse him a few times but he wouldn’t let up, and so became somewhat annoyed, simply pretending not to hear his words and brushed past him, walking away directly.

The noise on this side was somewhat loud, and Shu Yu instinctively looked over, frowning slightly.

Over there, Second Zhou was unhappy that Daniu ignored him, so he got up to chase him, but when he turned around he saw Shu Yu looking at him with a ’bad expression’, and immediately withdrew his hand.

Once he realized what happened, he felt both ashamed and annoyed. Why should he be scared of that little girl for nothing? Today is the in-laws’ joyful day, could she possibly dare to make things difficult for him on such a day?

But though he thought so, Second Zhou still didn’t dare to stop Daniu, so he turned around and pulled Father Zhou, ”Big brother, aren’t you especially happy today? If you’re happy, have a couple more drinks. The son-in-law’s wine is rare good wine, it must not be wasted.”

That was indeed true; Second Zhou was attracted by the particularly fragrant scent of this wine, and couldn’t help but have two cups right off the bat.

He even inquired a little and found out that the wine wasn’t cheap; Daniu had specially bought it from that famous Auspicious Wine Shop in the county town. Anyway, it was good wine that Second Zhou had always been too frugal to drink and had never tasted.

He and Second Aunt Zhou both thought Daniu and the Lu family were fools to go to such lengths for a girl who can’t carry on the family line, wasting so much money.

But whatever, it wasn’t his money, as long as he had wine to drink, it was fine.

”Yes, I am happy today.” Father Zhou also drank a cup, he truly was happy.

His daughter married a good husband; he originally thought that having a girl, the in-laws would not be happy.

But regardless of whether it was the celebration on the third day of birth or today’s full month banquet, he had seen with his own eyes how the in-laws really valued his granddaughter, so he could rest assured in the future.

Second Zhou’s persuasion to drink was not refused, but Father Zhou was not very good at handling alcohol, and soon he was tipsy.

Second Zhou was unhappy, insisting again that he get up and drink. Even Third Lu couldn’t stand it anymore—it was just drinking, he could do it.

So Third Lu drank Second Zhou under the table, mocking him; his drinking ability was top-notch.

Now that he was a steward, he occasionally had social gatherings, and of course, he had built up a tolerance.

When the feast concluded, neither Father Zhou nor Second Zhou could leave, so they had to be sent to a room to rest.

Second Aunt Zhou was furious, she still had things to do when she went home, but each one of them ended up like a heap of mud.

However, Zhou Qiao’s three sisters were quite happy, staying with her for quite a while in conversation.

The old lady also had a few sips, and was taken to rest in a room by Shu Yu.

At that time it was still early, and since she couldn’t leave for the time being, Shu Yu planned to negotiate things with the villagers who intended to plant sunflowers first.

She had initially planned to stay here overnight and talk tomorrow.

Now having learned about the beads from Yuan Shanchuan, Shu Yu couldn’t wait anymore, wanting to rush back to the county town and then write to inform Qi Lie about the matter.

If the Second Prince was really still alive and needed to be found, it had to be Qi Lie and his people who could do it; she didn’t have that kind of power or manpower.

Shu Yu moved the negotiation with the villagers up to today, which left Fan Zhong stunned for quite a while.

He had drunk quite a bit at noon too, and was dazed for a good while when he heard Shu Yu say she wanted to meet the villagers now.

He didn’t want to call them, having just finished drinking and wanting only to sleep.

But Fan Zhong had to consider Shu Yu’s status, and despite being upset, he still asked his son to summon the villagers.
