Most people did show up uninvited, but they had at least announced their arrival. Strangely enough, there were still some who came without notice, and they couldn't be turned away. Thus, there were five tables short of banquet seats, even with over a hundred guests giving gifts without attending.
Lu Chen simply had the chief steward lead the relatives and friends who were left without seats to drive to the town's restaurant for the banquet, and they would settle the bill tomorrow.
This was an unspoken rule in Baiguo Village, it wasn't too bad if there were spare seats at the banquet, but if there weren't enough, this was what they did. After all, they couldn't let the elders and villagers who came to celebrate go hungry, right?
If the Lu Family had prepared too few banquet seats, people could express their dissatisfaction. But if they had prepared a lot and it still wasn't enough, then there was nothing that could be done.
