Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu stood among the crowd, their faces beaming with pride.
Dashi was their grandson, and Nie Xiaofeng was their great-grandson, just mentioning this made them glow with joy.
The two elders stood with straight backs, eagerly anticipating flattery from everyone.
However, the spotlight was stolen by their eldest daughter-in-law, Tong Huaqiong, and no one paid attention to them.
Except for the brief moment Mrs. Gu asserted her presence to the older lady from the Huang family, once Tong Huaqiong arrived, the two became like transparent background props.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu were so angry they gritted their teeth and tried several times to sidle up to Tong Huaqiong, but she ignored them.
The lively crowd soon dispersed.
Tong Huaqiong, taking advantage of Dashi's achievements, decided to add two extra dishes for the clerks at Weaving Workshop, Jufu, Taohua Dessert, and other major stores, and gave each clerk two extra strings of coins to celebrate.
