Aunt Zhang Hong felt uneasy after hearing Professor Song's words.
Seventh Uncle listened and clicked his tongue, "What is all this talk about wealth and not returning home — our villages are all interconnected with family ties! Zhang Hong, why don't you gather some elders and ask around, invite the elders of the family from whom you bought wine for a drink, have a chat..."
This type of person values face highly, but they are generally stubborn. Though they won't admit it openly, they deeply care about how others (especially male relatives and elders) view them.
Unless the entire family is made up of scoundrels, you can casually mention at the dinner table, something like "Oh, sorry, work is heavy now, can't drink easily, letting the kids down or something like that..."
Listen to the tone, the elder has eaten more salt than anyone, how could they not understand?
