Just like last time when they hosted a banquet, Tong Huaqiong had Gu Dahuan prepare two tables of food in the house.
One table was to welcome the notable figures from Yan Guan Town, such as Village Chief Liu and other local gentry, while the other was for Mrs. Han, Old Mrs. Huang, Mrs. Hong, and the family women.
The table for the gentry was placed in the side room, while the women's table was set in the main room.
Traditionally, the men's table should have been in the main room, but Tong Huaqiong insisted on doing otherwise.
Even though the village chief thought her arrangement was improper, he didn't dare show his disapproval; after all, Tong Huaqiong was already a village noblewoman.
He had to bow when he saw her.
The Gujia Clan Leader had expected Tong Huaqiong to invite him to the table with the village chief and gentry in front of everyone, but even as the dishes were being served, no one approached him.
He was so angry he wanted to storm off.
