Wealthy beyond measure, yet you call me a sister-supporting-brother demon?

Upon hearing Manager Cao's words, Wang Damao blurted out, "You guys at Donglaishun are robbing us!"

Manager Cao's face darkened. "Our Donglaishun restaurant has clearly marked prices and we treat everyone fairly, young and old. Young Master Wang, are you trying to dine and dash?!"

Wang Damao regretted his words as soon as he finished speaking! Donglaishun had such a powerful background; it was far beyond the reach of a commoner like him.

He forced himself to say, "Please help me calculate why it's thirty-eight taels and five mace."

Manager Cao said while working on the abacus: "The private room fee is two hundred coins, the fragrant pork belly is two hundred and eighty coins, the charcoal-grilled lamb leg is two hundred coins, six pieces in total are one thousand two hundred coins, and the roast duck is one hundred and ten coins..."

"A total of eight taels and five hundred and sixty cash. One jar of pear blossom wine weighs six taels. You initially ordered three jars, and later added two more, bringing the total pear blossom wine to thirty taels. In total, it amounts to thirty-eight taels and five hundred and sixty cash."

"What?! Six ounces for a jar of pear blossom wine? You're robbing me!" Wang Damao panicked completely. Thirty-eight ounces! That could buy eight acres of fertile land! He wouldn't even be worth that much if he sold himself!

The door to the private room was wide open, and some guests were already watching the commotion from the doorway. When they heard what Wang Damao said, they were all speechless.

The burly man in the black robe who had just beaten Li Yong said, "Where did this country bumpkin come from? Isn't it an open secret that a jar of Pear Blossom White wine costs six ounces?"

"Exactly! If you can't afford it, don't come to Donglaishun!"

"So poor, don't you even ask the prices before ordering food and drinks?"

"You order without even asking the price, then complain about the price after you've eaten and drunk. I've never seen anyone so shameless!"

"Any kind of poor bastard dares to call himself Young Master Wang; the title of Young Master is now obsolete."

"That's right, don't call me Young Master Li anymore, it's an insult to me."

……

Each word was like a sharp knife, piercing into Wang Damao's heart.

Her already flushed face turned completely red.

He had never been so humiliated in his life! It felt like someone had stripped him naked and spat on him.

He was so humiliated he wanted to die; if there was a mouse hole in the ground, he would want to crawl into it immediately.

This is so incredibly embarrassing!

The other young men sitting in the private room also stopped eating; they also felt embarrassed.

Although they are poor, it doesn't mean they lack self-respect.

The young men's faces were all flushed.

Being surrounded and pointed at like a monkey by others is an extremely unpleasant feeling!

All of this is because of that pretentious Wang Damao!

If Wang Damao hadn't been so vain and pretentious, how could they have ended up in this situation?

Li Yong and Chen Tong were also dumbfounded.

What?! Six ounces of pear blossom white wine in a jar!

Wang Damao ordered three jars, and they tasted them and found them very delicious. Since Yuansheng was paying the bill anyway, they ordered the same.

They thought a few hundred coins would be the maximum, but they didn't expect it to be six taels!

They couldn't even save six taels of silver in two years! They didn't have a single penny on them, so how could they pay?

Li Yong and Chen Tong exchanged a glance. Wang Damao had invited them to dinner, so Wang Damao should be the one to treat them.

We must insist that Wang Damao pay this money.

Manager Cao coughed. "Young Master Wang, did you call me over to settle the bill?"

Wang Damao had lost all the arrogance he once had as the young master Wang. His face was flushed, his head was lowered, and he stammered for a long time before finally saying, "I have no money."

The sound was like the buzzing of a mosquito.

"What did you say."

I told them I had no money.

The onlookers were speechless. They ordered so much food despite not having much money, and ordered all the signature dishes. They even ordered five jars of Pear Blossom White wine at once.

“No money? No problem. Ma Lai Xi, go find the police and tell them someone dined and dashed. Lock Young Master Wang up in jail.”

"Yes, Manager Cao." Ma Laixi loved to do this kind of thing, relying on his master's power. His eyes gleamed with excitement, and he looked quite imposing.

He had offended the young man who sold tea eggs, so the shopkeeper assigned him to do odd jobs in the kitchen. He thought he would never get ahead.

Wang Damao panicked when he heard he was going to jail. He knew that if he went to jail, he would be seriously injured or killed, and his life would be ruined. "Manager Cao, please give me a chance. My father sells meat at the meat market. His name is Wang Fugui. I'll ask a friend to find him and pay me."

"Okay," Manager Cao said.

Wang Damao paused for a moment, then his clever mind started working again. "Manager Cao, the waiter said that whoever ordered should pay the bill. The two jars of pear blossom wine, the roasted lamb leg, and the serving of fragrant pork belly were ordered by the four of them, so they should pay the bill."

Chen Yang and Lin Tiedan were dumbfounded when they heard Wang Damao's words.

what?

"Wang Damao! Last night you rushed over to dinner in a big way, and today you've been acting like a big shot, and now you're telling me to pay the bill myself!"

"If you can't afford it, don't invite us! You invite us and then make us pay the bill! What kind of idiot is this!"

"Exactly, if you can't afford it, don't act tough and make us lose face with you. Why drag us down with you?"

"We're not paying! You have to pay today!"

Li Yong and Chen Tong knew the whole story and that Wang Damao was trying to swindle Yuan Sheng, but their families were very poor and couldn't afford the six taels of silver to pay the bill, so they could only insist that Wang Damao was the one who treated them.

Li Yong, covering his panda eyes, said pitifully, "Wang Damao, we treated you like a brother, and you just cheated us like this. I was supposed to go on a blind date today, but I only came because of you, and you still cheated us like this."

"Wang Damao, since you're the host, you should pay the bill. If you do things like this, will any brothers still follow you in the future?"

"Wang Damao, you've driven yourself to the brink of ruin!"

The other five who weren't affected thought Chen Yang and the others made a lot of sense. They had never seen anyone like this before, offering to treat others to dinner but then making them pay the bill.

If Wang Damao hadn't insisted on coming to Donglaishun, they wouldn't have come to such a high-class restaurant to eat, and they wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

You shouldn't associate with someone like Wang Damao; we should cut off all ties with him from now on!

Wang Damao was well aware of the consequences of making them pay the bill; he might lose all his friends in the future.

However, if he were to accept this, it would cost an extra twelve taels and four hundred and eighty coins, more than his father could save up in a year of hard work!

If he spends all the family's savings, his family will have to live a hard life.

They drank the wine and ate the meat, so why should only their family suffer?

Especially since Li Yong and Chen Tong, those two idiots, knew the inside story, why didn't they keep an eye on Yuansheng?

They're like two pigs, all they know is how to eat. It's reasonable for them to each pay six ounces.

After everyone finished arguing, Manager Cao said, "At Donglaishun, it's true that whoever orders pays. Ma Laixi, then let the officials arrest these people who dine and dash."

If it weren't for Yuansheng's influence, Manager Cao wouldn't have patiently waited for them to finish arguing. Wang Damao's loss of money wasn't enough; the best outcome for him would be for his friends to scatter.

Without manpower, Wang Damao won't be able to cause any trouble even if he wants to do bad things in the future.
