After the banquet, Song Hailong was tactful enough to take his leave first. Zhang Qingshan's family didn't rush to leave; they all sat around on the brick bed, chatting about everyday matters.
"It's my eldest grandson who's really something." Zhang Qingshan was in high spirits, having drunk a bit too much today. Even when suggested to take a nap, he refused, eager to keep talking. "He just took the exams and became a scholar. Not that I want to say anything, but those from your big house aren't even worthy of carrying his shoes."
Lady Zhang quickly cast a glance at Lian Shouxin.
"Your father drank too much, he's not even aware of what he's saying." Lady Li mediated.
"Dad, take a quick nap so we can leave later," Zhang Qingnian urged, supporting Zhang Qingshan to lie down and stop talking.
Zhang Qingshan stubbornly shook off Zhang Qingnian's hand and was about to speak again.
