The guests in the audience also looked at each other and whispered about something.
The atmosphere at the scene seemed slightly awkward.
"Ahem." Zhu Jingyi coughed twice and cleared his throat.
"As we age, our technology will inevitably fail. Please bear with me."
Hearing this, the guests below quickly echoed.
"Yes, yes, I heard that it is normal to bet on whether the stone will fall. The old man is just unlucky. The next piece will definitely work."
"Yes, yes, please be patient. The old man must have been really good at betting on stones for so many years. It was just an accident."
"Mr. Zhu, don't worry about it, just drive the next one!"
After all, it's someone's seventieth birthday, so as a guest, you naturally have to give face to the host of the birthday banquet.
Hearing this, the old man stopped talking and stared fiercely at Meng Yan who was standing in the corner of the living room before choosing the next ingredient.
"If Meng Yan misses this piece again, let's see how I deal with him later!" Zhu Jingyi thought to himself, and handed another marked stone to the stone cutter.
When the master stone cutter saw the more than 30 kilograms of rough stone in Zhu Jingyi's hand, he shook his head again.
But looking at the expression on Zhu Jingyi's face, it was hard to say anything, so he picked up the materials and placed them on the stone cutter.
One knife.
Two knives.
Five swords...
Soon, thirty kilograms of material was cut into three kilograms, leaving only the innermost mass.
The master stone cutter aimed the center of the innermost three kilograms of raw stone at the stone cutter, then cut it in half horizontally.
Nothing.
Thirty kilograms of material and one stone.
Zhu Jingyi blushed.
The third piece.
The fourth piece...
There were four pieces of material in a row, all of which were stones, so Zhu Jingyi refused to cut them.
The guests in the audience were extremely silent.
If the first piece collapsed due to bad luck, then if four pieces in a row collapsed, it means that Zhu Jingyi really does not understand stones at all.
At this time, if you make excuses for Zhu Jingyi, it is that the speaker has no intention but the listener has the intention. He will feel that this is just roundabout and scolding him for being incompetent.
For a moment, there was a hint of embarrassment in the silent living room.
Zhu Jingyi stood on the stage with an expressionless face. In front of him was a pair of chopped scraps, his face was ashen.
"Daddy." Suddenly a very small girl's voice came from among the guests.
A little girl held the hand of a middle-aged man and whispered: "Dad, Grandpa Zhu didn't cut anything out, does he have no ability at all?"
"Shhh! You're a kid, you don't understand anything, don't talk nonsense!" The middle-aged man hurriedly approached, raising a finger to his lips to silence him.
But it was too late. In the awkward silence, the little girl's voice seemed particularly harsh.
Tong Yanwuji's straightforward question was like a sharp knife, piercing Zhu Jingyi's face.
"Meng Yan!" Zhu Jingyi pointed at the rough stone that was pushed on the table and stared angrily at Meng Yan in the corner of the living room.
"What's going on? Please explain, where are the rough stones that I specially selected? Did you switch them around?"
Of course, it was impossible for him to tell the truth, change his words a little, and throw all the blame for his mistakes on Meng Yan.
After hearing Zhu Jingyi's words, the guests at the scene all looked at Meng Yan standing in the corner, with puzzled expressions in their eyes.
Is it true?
Why would he, a son-in-law of the Zhu family, want to embarrass his father-in-law by dumping the rough stone?
For a time, whispers of discussion were like sand, one after another among the guests.
"Meng Yan, come up here!"
It ruined Zhu Jingyi's interest and his face, and he was very angry now.
The five pieces of rough stone were all scraps. Based on Meng Yan's ability, this was definitely intentional. He clearly wanted to make a fool of himself in public.
When he thought of this, Zhu Jingyi became even more furious.
It seems that Duo'er's medical expenses need to be discussed with him again.
"What are you doing?" Meng Yan stepped forward and turned over a rough stone. A small circle on the rough stone suddenly appeared in front of the guests of the Zhu family.
"It's not what you said. You want me to choose a few rough stones and mark them. Do you want to open them on your birthday?"
"But you didn't say whether you wanted green rough stones, so I just randomly picked a few paintings, right?" Meng Yan shrugged, as if it didn't matter to him.
"You!" Zhu Jingyi pointed at Meng Yan's nose, his beard trembling with anger.
He didn't expect that Meng Yan would reveal this matter directly in front of all the guests of the Zhu family!
"Meng Yan, what are you talking about? He is your father-in-law!" When Liu Rongfang saw this, she yelled.
"Today is your father-in-law's seventieth birthday. If you can't help him, forget it. What kind of trouble are you making to make your father-in-law lose face? Is this what a son-in-law can do?"
"What's wrong with asking you to help your father-in-law grow his face on his birthday? Fortunately, our Zhu family has taken care of you, but you, a heartless white-eyed wolf, have come back to bite us. You were really blind when you married Zhu Siying.
you!"
Upon hearing this, the guests at the scene started talking among themselves and pointed the finger at Meng Yan.
"Yes, it's too much for a son-in-law to do this on my father-in-law's seventieth birthday."
"Even if Mr. Zhu wants to play some tricks, it's harmless. You, the son-in-law, don't help but only lose his face. What are you talking about?"
A group of Zhu family guests who did not understand the truth stood on Zhu Jingyi's side and denounced Meng Yan.
Liu Rongfang saw that the atmosphere at the scene was one-sided, and her momentum became even more intense, and she continued to pursue the victory against Meng Yan.
Today we must continue Zhu Jingyi’s birthday banquet and let him know who is the master and who is the servant in this Zhu family!
Otherwise, how can he work peacefully in the Zhu family in the future? It will turn the world upside down!
"Meng Yan, think about how much you owe our Zhu family!"
"When all your relatives died and you almost ended up living on the street, who kindly saved you and who didn't mind betrothing their daughter to you!"
"When your daughter is sick, who sells everything to pay for her medical expenses and takes her to a big hospital to treat her with the best rooms and the best medicine?"
"You're such a white-eyed wolf, you don't understand gratitude. You sold your house to cure your daughter's illness and live on the street. It was us who took you back, and you still go against us every day!"
"Do you have any conscience at all?"
Liu Rongfang put her hands on her hips and cursed loudly, scolding Meng Yan bloody.
Listening to Liu Rongfang's words, the guests in the audience gradually turned from quiet accusations to indignation.
"Yes! This is too outrageous, white-eyed wolf!"
"If my son-in-law dared to do this, I would have driven them away! The Zhu family has such a good temper!"
"Unfilial descendants, unfilial descendants! Mr. Zhu is broad-minded and does not care, but this cannot be used as capital to be bullied by outsiders! In the worst case, drive Meng Yan out, we will support you!"
Seeing the guests in the audience speaking for him one after another, Zhu Jingyi held his head high and felt very comfortable.
