Chapter 1170: Are You Coming or Not?

Just after he had finished paying respects to heaven and earth, Zhang Tiezhu rushed over to Zhang Lao'er again, babbling anxiously, "Dad, Li Huai still hasn't arrived, has he? Did you manage to get through to him on the phone? What did he say about when he'll be here?"

"Couldn't get through!" Zhang Lao'er took a few heavy puffs on his pipe, his anxiety overshadowing Zhang Tiezhu as Li Huai was nowhere to be seen.

It was solely for the sake of Li Huai's face that Ma Guangxue had arranged the banquet at the best hotel in the county town. Zhang Lao'er was indeed paying, but instead of one thousand two hundred per table, it now cost only three hundred. With just forty to fifty tables in total and a discount on cigarettes and alcohol, the total cost was barely twenty to thirty thousand yuan, far less than half the cost of the gifts received. Without this discount, Zhang Lao'er would never have been willing to splurge on the town's best hotel for Zhang Tiezhu's wedding.
