After leaving Mr. Xu in the backyard of the Xu family restaurant to take care of Shen Wansheng, Mr. Xu hurried back to Lingshui Village with Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu.
The Xu family's dinner has been on the table for some time now.
Just when Mrs. Zhou asked Mrs. Xu if she wanted to return it to the pot to warm first, there was finally movement outside the courtyard door.
…
As soon as Mr. Xu entered the door, the smell of alcohol rushed into Mrs. Xu's nose.
"Master, how much have you drunk?"
Mrs. Xu frowned and squinted at Mr. Xu.
Mr. Xu trembled and said hurriedly: "Just one bowl!"
"Daughter-in-law, you don't know!"
"Today, I become sworn sworn friends!"
"I recognize three younger brothers!"
Upon hearing what Mr. Xu said, Mrs. Xu felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. Last time, Mr. Xu got too drunk and insisted on marrying Jin Lan with his three sons.
So, this is just one bowl
Mrs. Xu laughed.
"Daughter-in-law, it's true!"
Seeing his wife's smiling face, Mr. Xu quickly speeded up and said, "We became sworn brothers first, and then we planned to drink to celebrate. However, my second sworn brother's drinking capacity is really bad, and he drank just one bowl!"
"I swear to God, I never lied to you!"
"This man is still sleeping in the backyard of our restaurant!"
"Oh, by the way," Mr. Xu turned to look at Mr. Wang who was eating at another table, "My wife, the third child will not be back tonight. He stayed in the town to take care of his second uncle. He and his second uncle Uncle familiar!"
"…?!"
Mrs. Wang was also confused, not knowing how to cook this.
When Mr. Xu saw that his wife's expression finally softened, he quickly explained the speed of the matter.
"Daughter-in-law, you know, this day is so special, it's impossible not to drink!"
"After the four of us became sworn brothers, we actually drank a bowl. If you don't believe it, you can ask the eldest and second eldest brother!"
That's right, after the four of them became sworn friends, they only drank one bowl.
As for how much the three drank after sworn vows at noon, that's another story.
Faced with their father's threatening eyes, Xu Lao Er and Xu Lao Er could only speak honestly, proving that they had indeed only drank one bowl.
"Then why does it smell like alcohol?"
Mrs. Xu still didn't believe it.
Mr. Xu hurriedly said: "My second sworn brother is not good at drinking. Speaking of which, he can't even drink a bowl, so he spilled a lot of wine on me!"
"Second brother, you have taken the blame for my grievance!"
"But don't worry, I won't let you lose as the eldest brother. I will get drunk with you tomorrow!"
Mr. Xu solemnly swore in his heart.
"Daughter-in-law, my second brother will definitely come to visit us when he wakes up tomorrow. You will see it then!"
"But please don't ask him directly about his drinking capacity. I'm afraid he'll lose face!"
"Tomorrow, just serve the wine!"
In order to prove his innocence, Mr. Xu was determined to take the blame for his second brother to the end.
Poor Shen Wansheng, the prefect, had no idea what an unreliable elder brother he had become.
"What did you say?"
Mrs. Xu glared at Mr. Xu, "What are you talking about? The visitor is a guest, and you are your sworn brother. Since you know his drinking capacity, you should advise him not to get drunk and cause trouble!"
"Yes, yes, my wife is right!"
"Tomorrow, I will persuade him!"
As long as he can pass this level, Mr. Xu will naturally do whatever his wife says. (End of chapter)
