Chapter 329: Chapter 329 Good Things (4)_1

Therefore, when Lin Changshu and the elderly saw the Ma Family come over to express their congratulations, even if they were displeased, they still accepted the gifts and did not show any displeasure to the Ma Family. Not only did the main branch of the Ma Family come, but Bao Family also brought their two children and sat on the banquet table waiting for the dishes to be served.

"They have the nerve to come." Bai Yunxian indignantly spoke to the young ladies.

"Indeed, they have quite thick skins." Those who went to work at the Lin Family, would practice martial arts every morning. The village girls nowadays were quite feisty.

Bai Yunxian’s murmurings gained the support of her companions.

Moreover, everyone unanimously sat together, completely isolating the Ma Family.

Yan family almost fainted with envy today after seeing Lin Zige’s dowry. It was not only incomparable to anything else in the entire village, but even the city-born girls with slightly poor families would not be able to match it. Moreover, she learned from the villagers’ discussions that the highly profitable soy product workshop of the Lin Family was already divided among the brothers and sisters by Lin Ziyin. This meant that even if Lin Zige sat at home and did nothing in the future, she would not lack silver to spend.

Yanshi had no idea how much silver could be earned from soy products in a month. But she knew how much the villagers who worked in the bean curd shop earned in a month. Their monthly wages were almost as much as her husband earned while serving as a second shopkeeper outside. Not to mention the extra things they received during festivals.

If the soy products were not making a significant profit, would Lin Changshu be willing to pay so much to the villagers?

The golden goose, Lin Zige, could have been her daughter-in-law, but she slipped through their fingers. Yan was so regretful that she almost wanted to ram into a wall, especially when she saw the wedding gift given by Prince Mausoleum to Lin Zige, her eyes almost popped out.

No matter how the villagers look at Bao Family and their children, Bao didn’t care. Others were unwilling to sit with her, so she simply took a seat at Yan Family’s table, just to relish today’s meal.

Yan didn’t want to share a table with her, but looking around, she found that all the other tables were full. This was not her own place, so Yan had to bear with Bao Family, even if she found them displeasing.

Da Gouzi and Ergouzi were eagerly waiting for the dishes to be served. Smelling the fragrance from the kitchen, they were itching to run to the kitchen and bring out all the food.

Ma Zhicai stubbornly squeezed into Lou Zheng’s table with Ma Dalang, even though the rest of the people at Lou Zheng’s table frowned and ignored them. The father and son seemed to not mind at all and kept trying to join into others’ conversations.

Unfortunately, every time they interjected, the conversation would halt. However, since Ma Dalang had always been a diplomat, they greeted all the embarrassment with a smile. This made it awkward for others, so during the subsequent conversations, fewer people made things difficult for them.

"I heard that Wu Xin’s studies are exceptional. In the spring, can Lou Zheng allow him to try?" Ma Dalang laughed and asked Lou Zheng, "The child from Brother Zhou’s family is also quite good."

Lou Zheng, hearing the praise of his grandson, didn’t gloat but just responded with a faint smile and casually said, "Mr. Qian is highly educated, and now Mr. Xu is also a scholar. The children have just started learning and have only grasped some fundamental knowledge. I’ll listen to the teacher. If the teacher thinks he can try, I won’t stop him. If the teacher thinks he can’t, then he’d have to work hard and try again next year."

"Lou Zheng is right, that’s exactly what I think too." Zhou Shitou responded with a smile, "My child is several years older than Changting, but his academic achievements are far inferior. My child said that he will only try when he catches up with Changting’s progress."
