However, before the father-in-law said anything, the mother-in-law couldn't wait to introduce him. "This is my son-in-law."
"Oh?"
The young man frowned with a weird expression. "Auntie Zhang, you really have no taste, choosing such a son-in-law."
"What's wrong with my son-in-law? I'm not afraid to tell you …" The mother-in-law was a bit unhappy and was about to defend me, but the father-in-law interrupted her in time. "Okay, stop talking and eat."
"Okay." Actually, I didn't want to argue with them, so I swaggered to my seat.
"Okay, I'll listen to Uncle Li. However, it's Uncle Li's birthday today, why didn't I see Xiao Mei?
Has she not recovered yet? "The young man asked with slight dissatisfaction.
"Yeah, she can't come for the time being. It's okay, let's eat," the mother-in-law explained loudly.
My mother-in-law casually explained. Her attitude towards him was just so-so. Although Secretary Gao had a bit of power, she had seen my methods before. Compared to him, he was nothing.
Because I was sitting next to the mother-in-law, with the table cloth as a cover, she actually used her leg to rub against me. On the surface, she acted as if nothing had happened, making me feel awkward.
Since it was my father-in-law's birthday, I reached out my hand and picked up the menu, preparing to order. The father and son were somewhat displeased with my 'overpowering' behavior. "Hey, young man, it's not like you're the one treating. What are you yelling for?"
"Yeah, you don't know any manners. So uncultured." The middle-aged man on the side also added.
"Ugh, it's my father-in-law's birthday, do you think I'll let you spend money?" I was a bit embarrassed as I scratched my head.
The young man was obviously stunned and couldn't help but exclaim, "Yeah, of course it's my treat. Do you think this is a small restaurant where any dish costs a hundred and eighty. With your outfit, you don't have the capital to act pretentious."
"Yeah, okay, it's just for fun anyway."
I readily agreed. Since they wanted to treat us, it didn't matter. The two old men looked a little embarrassed. We were just having a nice meal. Who would have thought that they would deliberately cause trouble for us? However, this amount of money was nothing to me.
Of course, it was better to save whenever possible.
Then, the young man began to order dishes and said to himself, "When it comes to eating, I have to pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables and have a balanced nutrition. This, and this …" After ordering a few dishes, he asked, "Uncle Li, what would you like to drink?"
"How about a bottle of Wuliangye?
It's very appetizing, "Secretary Gao suggested with a smug expression.
"No, no, my father-in-law likes to drink Maotai. Give me a case," I said.
"Ga."
They were obviously stunned, especially the young man, whose face was gloomy. "Kid, you must be joking. There are only four of us. I have to drive and I can't drink. How can the three of us finish a box?!"
"If you can't finish it, you can bring it back. Since you want to treat us, why aren't you willing to spend money?" I asked in annoyance.
"F * ck, I'm afraid you haven't seen the world. It's fine to drink here, but you want to bring it back? It's not even your treat. What a joke," the young man couldn't help but curse.
"Oh, don't worry. I can finish it here. If I can't finish it, I'll pay for the meal," I said seriously.
The father and son looked at each other and found it funny. This brat liked to act in a fit of pique. He must have felt that he had lost face, so he acted like this. There were six bottles in this box of wine. Even eight or ten strong men wouldn't be able to finish it.
"Okay, okay. You want to act, right? Then I'll fulfill your wish. Come, waiter, bring me a case of Maotai. I want it with high alcohol content. Also, bring me a new menu," the young man waved his hand and ordered all the expensive dishes.
Not long after, the table was filled with sumptuous dishes. The waiter introduced the dishes as he served them. I've never heard of Eastern Star Spot and Geoduck Clam. "Two elders, quickly try it."
I could tell that the two elders were very happy, especially the mother-in-law. She took out her phone and took a lot of photos, then sent it to her friend circle to ask for likes.
However, since I stole the limelight, the father and son didn't seem very happy. Soon, a case of Maotai was brought in.
"Come, Old Li, let's drink. First of all, I want to congratulate you for having such a good son-in-law."
The middle-aged man poured the wine and raised his glass. A smile appeared on his face, as if I had already paid the bill.
"Ah, Secretary Gao, don't be so polite. It's all thanks to your care that our family has what it has today," the father-in-law curled his lips and said happily.
It turned out that when he was a driver in the village committee, he had the chance to become an official. However, he had a competitive relationship with Secretary Gao. My father-in-law was a simple person and easily trusted others. In the end, he was tricked. At that time, Secretary Gao told him that the voting time for the election had changed, so he had to go to another place to buy goods. In the end, he missed his great career.
This matter had been buried in his heart and had always been very uncomfortable. Because of this, his mother-in-law often complained about him. Otherwise, he would at least be able to get a stable job, unlike his current line of work, where he had to work early in the morning and work late at night to earn hard-earned money.
However, God was always fair. He had worked hard for most of his life, and now, he had met a good son-in-law. Not only did he not dislike his daughter's remarriage, but he also took out three hundred thousand renminbi as pension. They couldn't help but sigh. Happiness came too suddenly.
Of course, my father-in-law was more low-key, so I asked my mother-in-law to keep her mouth shut and not spread it around. Although my mother-in-law was snobbish, she understood my temper. Moreover, my sister-in-law had been married once. Even if she found a rich husband, it was inevitable that people would gossip about her.
"Hey, don't mention it. We are all from the same village. Today, I came to Yuncheng to help him choose a car and to see you. Come on, I'll drink this cup first." Secretary Gao shook his head and said. It would be a waste not to drink this Feitian Maotai. He drank a cup in one gulp.
"Yes, Uncle Li, you can come with us to consult later. Recently, the GLA series of Mercedes-Benz is very good, but BMW X1 is also good. Uncle Li, why don't you buy one? Nowadays, there are a lot of domestic cars that cost tens of thousands of renminbi." The young man winked and said.
The father-in-law looked embarrassed and didn't say anything. Secretary Gao showed a playful smile, "Come on, Ji Nan, it's not easy for your uncle to make money, and I have to support Aunt Zhang. I can't save any money all year round. How can I buy a car?"
