Chapter 864 -864: You Pay for This Banquet, Silver_1
Tong Sanlang didn’t even blink an eye. Seeing that Zhang Family didn’t accept it, he held it in his hand and called out to everyone to start eating, “The dishes are served, everyone, start eating, don’t be shy, it’s rare to come to Jiwei Residence, let’s all eat our fill.”
Zhang Xiaoman was also sitting by the table at this time and, hearing this, chuckled, “It’s indeed rare to come to Jiwei Residence. Sanlang, now that you’re a juren, when are you going to treat your uncle here to a few meals?”
When Tong Sanlang became a juren, the Tong Family didn’t hold a feast, and there were no celebrations whatsoever.
This made the few relatives who wanted to take advantage of the Tong Family very anxious.
Especially the Zhang Family, which was Tong Sanlang’s legitimate relative. As a result, with Tong Sanlang not celebrating, the Zhang Family didn’t get any benefits at all.
Not getting any benefits was one thing, but Tong Sanlang directly contradicted Zhang Family’s words on the Zhang Family’s own banquet table.
It was not just a slap in Zhang Family’s face, but it also slapped the faces of the entire Zhang Family.
When Zhang Xiaoman said this, his tone carried dissatisfaction.
Tong Sanlang heard this and laughed softly, “Alright.”
“Then I think there’s no better day than today. Let’s make it today. Today’s banquet will be the celebration feast for your juren achievement. How about that?” Zhang Xiaoman immediately suggested.
The smile on Tong Sanlang’s face remained unchanged, “That wouldn’t be appropriate. Today is Yuanyuan’s Full Moon Banquet.”
“A little child’s banquet is not as important as your juren achievement. I think it’s settled then. You’ll pay for the banquet today,” Zhang Xiaoman, having made up his mind, said as he knocked on the table.
At this moment, another server came over with a tray of dishes. Zhang Xiaoman promptly grabbed him, “Bring us two jars of fine wine to celebrate my nephew’s juren achievement.”
This server was none other than Yuan Ding.
Yuan Ding immediately looked toward Tong Sanlang.
He had just heard Zhang Xiaoman’s words. His own grandson’s Full Moon Banquet had turned into a celebration for his nephew’s juren achievement, and they wanted Tong Sanlang to pay for it. What kind of reasoning was that?
Tong Sanlang, facing Yuan Ding’s gaze, smiled and said, “You go ahead with your work.”
Yuan Ding, upon hearing this, turned and walked away without lingering for a moment.
And now, the displeasure in Zhang Xiaoman’s heart had climbed to his face. His expression fell, “What now? You were just saying that you’d treat me, your uncle, to a few meals at Jiwei Residence. Are you going back on your word now?”
Tong Sanlang remained calm, his voice gentle, “Uncle, you misunderstand. Although I’ve passed the juren, I only have an annual income of five hundred catties of grain. You know the situation of my Tong Family. Our family property was confiscated.”
“Although I’ve now married Xiaomai, the things she brought into the marriage were the same as what my mother brought when she entered the Tong Family.”
“So now, we are both managing the Qiao Family’s property together, and she pays me a salary of one hundred taels silver a month.”
“With only one hundred taels as my salary, how could I afford today’s banquet?”
With these words, the space separated by the screen quietened down.
Everyone’s attention was already on Tong Sanlang, even if they were holding chopsticks. With the corner of their eyes and their ears, they were all focused on Tong Sanlang. Now that Tong Sanlang had confidently stated that he had no silver, and that he received a monthly salary from Qiao Xiaomai’s hands.

This was beyond their expectations.
Tong Sanlang, a juren, actually needed to receive silver from the hands of Qiao Xiaomai, a village girl?
This… this…
Qiao Xiaomai watched the stunned expressions of Zhang Xiaoman’s family across the table. She picked up her chopsticks and leisurely took a bite of the Cold Mixed Dried Tofu.
After swallowing the dried tofu, she asked, “So today, you actually intended to have Sanlang pay for the banquet?”
