Chapter 866 They were kind fathers and filial daughters, but they abandoned themselves?
"How can you be so extravagant? Nine dishes for a meal for just a few people, how much does that cost?"
Ye Xiaotong ignored him.
Ye's father continued, "Your brothers are still eating coarse food at home, how can you be so wasteful?"
Then the tenth dish was served.
Mother Ye cried out in a panic, "No, no, take it away, we don't want this dish anymore, we'll return it."
"This..." The waiter looked at Ye Xiaotong with difficulty.
Ye Xiaotong then slowly said, "These dishes were ordered a long time ago. It takes time for people to prepare the ingredients and cook them. They're all already in the pot, so we can't return them."
The waiter nodded repeatedly, "Yes, the rest of the dishes will be served shortly."
"What? There are more? How many more?"
The waiter glanced at the menu and said, "There are five more dishes."
Ye's mother rolled her eyes when she heard this.
Father Ye glared and puffed out his beard, "Are you planning to go to the Western Paradise after eating this meal? Such a waste, are you trying to ruin your life?"
The waiter next to Ye Xiaotong explained, "Uncle, it's not much. Fifteen dishes, including cold dishes, desserts, soup, and fruit. There aren't many main dishes. Besides, the portions are small; the plates are just big."
Ye's parents both looked very unpleasant.
"You know, your dishes are all about the plate to impress people? Tsk tsk, all you do is spend money, it's not worth it at all."
"Tell me, how much did all this food cost?"
"This..." The waiter looked at Ye Xiaotong with difficulty.
Ye Xiaotong gestured for the waiter to leave.
After she left, Ye Xiaotong said, "Eat if you want, or don't if you don't."
After saying that, he picked up his chopsticks and tasted the dishes that had just been served.
We've already spent the money, how can we not eat?
Yang Guangzong was eating and drinking to his heart's content, and they had to eat and drink to their heart's content as well, otherwise who would benefit from it?
The group fell silent. Since they had already spent money, what else was there to say?
For the rest of the time, the sounds of several people eating heartily continued.
Ye Xiaotong tasted each dish once and then put down her chopsticks; she was full.
The other three people burped as they ate, then slumped in their chairs, clutching their stomachs.
They finished most of the plates, and since they couldn't eat any more, they decided to pack the leftovers to go.
It's so delicious! I bet it's not cheap either, so I can't waste it.
Ye Xiaotong spoke up only after seeing that they had all finished eating.
"You can leave after this meal. I'll help you buy train tickets."
The group immediately perked up.
"What? You think you can just send us away with one meal? Do you think we're beggars?"
“That’s right, Xiaotong. Your parents-in-law have come all this way, you can’t just send them away with a meal. No matter what, they are your biological parents.”
Ye Xiaotong immediately glared at Yang Guangzong.
"What does this have to do with you? Don't forget, we're divorced a long time ago. I'm treating you to this meal for free; consider it as treating a beggar."
Yang Guangzong was so angry that he didn't dare to utter a sound. He pouted and huddled timidly in his chair.
Mr. and Mrs. Ye were also shocked.
Yang Guangzong and Ye Xiaotong knew all too well what their relationship was like before.
If Yang Guangzong called for the east, Ye Xiaotong wouldn't dare go west.
Now... the roles are reversed.
“Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with you. Now that you’ve eaten and drunk your fill, you can leave.” Mr. Ye pointed to a few dishes on the table and said, “This, this, and this… there are some left, you can pack them up and take them with you.”
He was referring to the last few scraps of food.
He didn't point to the remaining food, probably because he wanted to pack it up himself.
Yang Guangzong was completely taken aback by the couple's betrayal, and his face turned ashen.
"What do you mean by this? Now that you've found me, you're trying to get rid of me, aren't you?"
The two knew it wasn't right to do that, so they said awkwardly, "Of course, we're very grateful to you for bringing us here. Thank you, Xiao Yang."
Yang Guangzong's mouth twitched.
"What? A simple thank you is all?"
"This..." Mr. Ye looked at the dishes on the table and said, "This is to thank you and treat you to a meal. If you don't like it, you can pack these up and take them all with you."
"You're talking nonsense. I've been serving you good food and drink for so long, and you think you can get rid of us with a few leftovers? No way."
Mr. Ye's face darkened. "Then what do you want to do?"
"What? Humph." Yang Guangzong looked at the glamorous Ye Xiaotong beside him and said, "I'm only serving you good food and drink because you're my parents-in-law. I brought you here to ask you to plead for me. What I want is naturally my wife, as you promised me."
Mr. Ye sighed and said, "Young Yang, you can't force things. Since you're already divorced, it means you two weren't meant to be. Take my advice, don't force it. Go back home. Your parents are getting old, go back and live a good life with them."
"Pah, you're talking nonsense. Let me tell you, I, Yang Guangzong, am not someone to be trifled with. You two old geezers dare to scheme against me like this, believe me or not, I'll kill your whole family."
Mr. and Mrs. Ye were stunned.
Yang Guangzong was notorious in his hometown for being such a scoundrel.
They didn't know that Yang Guangzong had been tamed, and they were still quite afraid when they saw him making threats.
"Well... I can't say for sure. The country supports freedom of marriage now. The idea of parents arranging marriages is outdated and doesn't work now."
Ye's mother nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, it's no use if we agree, Xiaotong doesn't want to."
Ye Xiaotong kept her arms crossed and watched them.
Now everyone's talking about her, and all eyes are on her.
Yang Buguang glanced at her, and naturally knew that she was unwilling.
But he was not resigned to it and still tried to control a woman using the old ways of society.
“I don’t care. Anyway, you promised me, and you even took a thousand yuan from me as a bride price, so this wife is mine.”
Mr. Ye also got anxious, "You're not going to do anything? If you have the guts, go ahead and sue us in court. If the court says I should compensate you with a wife, then we'll compensate you. If the court says we have to return the money, then we'll return it."
They knew perfectly well that going to court would mean losing their daughter-in-law and the bride price, which would be impossible.
His daughter married him two years ago, and was beaten by his family so badly she miscarried. How dare they ask them to return the bride price? No way.
Yang Guangzong understood this as well, which is why he was angry.
"Fine, so you think I'm easy to bully? Fine, fine, you just wait and see."
"Hmph, we'll see. Girl, come on, we'll go home with you, let's ignore him."
The three of them were originally united in their desire to take her down, but a single meal caused their friendship to sink.
"Okay, then what about these dishes...?"
Father Ye glanced at Yang Guangzong and said, "Young Yang has indeed treated us to good food and drink these days, so this is our way of thanking him."
"Okay, I'll do as Dad says."
They were so loving and filial, but they abandoned themselves?
