Chapter 927: Vegetables which cannot be missed !
Eldest Miss Shi wanted to shamelessly barge inside and eat with her father but she still had a bit of shame left in her heart which was why she cleared her throat and then said in a polite voice, " Little Tian, it's like this my granddaughter wants to eat some lettuce wraps. If you don't mind can you ask Father for his permission?"
Xiao Tian did not wish to agree with such a selfish request but even so, when he looked at the teary face of the young mistress, he couldn't bring himself to be heartless. He sighed and agreed, " Please wait here for a minute, Eldest missy. I will go and ask my master." But then he paused and added, "It's not that I don't want to invite you all inside the courtyard but the dishes are limited, as master always ate alone and his appetite is not as good as it used to be, so there might not be enough for everyone."
" Yes, Yes, I understand…" Eldest Miss Shi knew that this was Xiao Tian scolding them while staying under the line of a servant. He was clearly rebuking them for leaving Old Master Shi alone all the time and not taking care of him but even so Eldest Miss Shi did not say anything as she knew that she was indeed in the wrong.
Xiao Tian nodded and then ignoring the ugly expressions of Eldest Missy's husbands, he turned on his heels and was going to head inside when suddenly a voice called him from behind——-
" Ah Xiao Tian, wait for a moment! Can you ask Father to leave some for Youruo as well?" The second miss of the family came in a hurry, her slightly chubby face was sweating as she looked at her elder sister and reproachfully said, " Eldest sister, you were coming to father's courtyard, you could have at least invited me to come together."
Behind the second miss, her husbands and daughter closely followed. Behind them were their kids, clearly they were here to share a meal but they have long heard that Old Master Shi did not have enough to share and thus they couldn't shamelessly ask to join in the meal and could only send the children.
" And my granddaughters too," the third miss also walked up to where her sisters were standing and looked at Xiao Tian with a smile. She did not bring her mer husbands and daughters and only brought her granddaughters since she knew that with her actions and attitude towards Old Master Shi, the latter was never going to let her family inside his courtyard.
Compared to her two sisters, she was a bit more self-aware of her situation!
Xiao Tian looked at the group of children and was speechless. Even if they were small, they all still counted to more than fifteen kids! How can those few meals that he and his master cooked even suffice for such a big group? 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝙜
But even so, he did not wish to break the heart of these kids who did not know anything, as the oldest was only eight while the youngest was three.
" I will go and ask my master …if there is enough to eat then I will bring them with me," since there was nothing else Xiao Tian could only turn on his heels and walk inside the courtyard and head toward the dining room which faced the garden of the courtyard.
As soon as he left, the three mistresses started to tell their granddaughters and grand mer-sons to bring some food back for them.
Xiao Tian: "….." I can hear you all, you know?
Xiao Tian was speechless, he had always seen the three missies acting all haughty and aloof but this was his first time seeing them act so sneaky!
" What is the matter?" Old Master Shi who was waiting for Xiao Tian to come back such that they can start the meal, questioned the young mer as soon as he came to stand in front of him.
"It is the missies, they are here to request Old Master's permission to let their grandchildren eat with you, Old Master," Xiao Tian's reply caused Old Master Shi's brows to furrow.
He looked at the dishes which he had prepared and then thought of the number of great-grandchildren he had… suddenly he felt a headache coming. Maybe he should have brought a few more vegetables!
" Let them come," though Old Master Shi had a lot of grievances with his daughters and sons-in-law as well as his grandchildren, he did not want to act petty with small kids which was why he agreed to let his great-grandchildren come.
" They sure are quick," Old Master Fan rolled his eyes as he looked at the gates which were partially closed. " I thought that we could have our meal in peace but now…sigh… how can these little dishes suffice for your family?"
He thought that Old Master Shi agreed to let his three daughters along with their entire family come to even Old Master Fu thought so but then their thoughts were interrupted by Old Master Shi who snorted and then said,
" Who said that I allowed them to come inside? I am only giving permission to my great-grandchildren since they are young and shouldn't get entangled with the mess of the adults, but that doesn't mean that I am going to forgive my daughters so easily!"
He might be gentle but he was not a fool, did they think that just because they appeared in front of his gates after so many years, he was going to agree to let them inside? Never!
" I knew it, even though you have gotten so old, you are still the same Old Shi!" Old Master Fu chuckled softly as he tapped his fingers on the table and then turned to look at the women who were peeking inside the courtyard he further added,
"Why don't you take advantage of the situation and make them triple your daily spending? That way you will be able to buy enough vegetables with not a single worry!"
