chapter 21 When a scholar encounters a soldier, he cannot explain why he is right!

The photo turned out to be an interior shot of the banquet hall. Mamie Li's family had actually entered the banquet hall! But that wasn't the point. The point was that Mamie Li's family was sitting in the VIP seats, while Karen Chen and her daughter had become servants, serving tea and water to them. Moreover, there was a photo showing a Colonel with two stars and three bars bowing to Nelly Xu. Behind the Colonel were priceless engagement gifts! The whole scene erupted. No one had expected that Karen Chen's family would be reduced to serving as servants inside. It was Mamie Li's daughter who was the one proposed to by General Ye. The homeowners surrounded Mamie Li's family again, flattering and fawning over them, and even belittling Karen Chen's family. Their arch-nemesis, the elderly lady, was left pale and almost fainted. After a while, she managed to adjust her emotions and shamelessly joined the crowd. "Mamie Li, I was blind and offended you before. You mustn't stoop to the level of people like me, commoners." "Mamie Li, you have a naturally good complexion, and your daughter is so beautiful. I envy you." "As for that Karen Chen and her family, they're not even worthy of cleaning your shoes." Mamie Li, her face flushed with pride, returned home triumphantly. When they reached the doorstep, Mamie Li suddenly ordered Pryor Ye, "Pryor Ye, go to the market and buy some groceries. We're going to celebrate at home today." Pryor Ye felt awkward. Buy groceries? I don't know how to buy groceries. Moreover, General Ye personally going to buy groceries, that would be embarrassing, and people might accuse him of showing off. Mamie Li, with an impatient tone, gave Pryor Ye a hundred yuan bill and said, "Are you really so troubled by a few bucks for groceries? I can't believe it." Nelly Xu also felt that it was inappropriate for a grown man to go grocery shopping, and she said, "Mom, I'm not busy, I'll go with him to buy groceries." However, Mamie Li pulled Nelly Xu into the room forcefully, saying, "Why are you getting involved in this? I have something to say to you." Bang! The door closed. Pryor Ye, helpless, could only take the hundred yuan and go buy groceries. Meanwhile, Mamie Li and Tyson Xu patiently tried to persuade Nelly Xu to accept General Ye's proposal. As soon as Pryor Ye left the residential area, Ruff called him. "General Ye, how do you want to deal with Thorne Fang?" "Let him go," Pryor Ye said. "Until we've secured the Fang family, he still has his uses." Ruff replied, "Understood." Then, Pryor Ye suddenly asked, "Ruff, let me ask you something." "If we're preparing for a family banquet, what groceries should we buy that would be most suitable?" Ruff was stunned. "Um... General Ye, sorry, I've been having an ear infection recently, and I may not have heard you correctly." "Could you repeat that?" Pryor Ye said, "For a family banquet, what groceries should we buy?" Ruff hesitated, shocked for quite some time, before finally confirming that he hadn't misheard. General Ye, the mighty General, was actually asking him about grocery shopping. He didn't know how to shop for groceries either, so he had to consult a military chef for advice. The military chef said, "If it's a regular family banquet, you can buy things like spare ribs, seafood, eggs, tomatoes..." Pryor Ye looked puzzled, "Spare ribs and seafood are all meat, and tomatoes are fruits. Which of these is a vegetable?" "She asked me to buy vegetables, not meat." The chef was also perplexed. Faced with these steel straight men, he really didn't know how to explain. As the saying goes, a scholar meets a soldier, and even if you have a point, you can't explain it to them.
