Chapter 108: Selling Meat
Xing Guihua pulled Chen Tianba into the house, except for the thick cotton clothes on his face and lay down in the quilt. Chen Tianba smiled contemptuously when he saw her, and also got on her boudoir.
Before dawn, Xing Guihua got up, lit a fire in the kitchen, and put the two leg of mutton into the pot to stew while Chen Tianba didn't wake up. The smell of meat wafted throughout the courtyard, and all the people in the old courtyard of the Xing family who had not woken up were stimulated by this tempting fragrance, and there were many people in the kitchen at once.
Xing Junlan and Xing Junmin stood on the edge of the stove, sniffing the fragrance wafting out of the pot, Xing Guihua couldn't help but feel proud and happy when she saw this, and couldn't help but tease the two children,
"Want to eat?"
The two nodded like pounding garlic, but they were rushed out of the kitchen by Xing Guihua.
"No way, not a handful of wool will be left for you. ”
Xing Junlan looked at her and knew that she must have resented her parents for not giving her meat some time ago, and it would be impossible to eat meat from her today, so she pulled her sister and wanted to leave. But who knew that his sister refused to leave, so she rushed forward and hugged Xing Guihua's leg,
"Auntie, give me something to eat, I'm so hungry, please. ”
Mrs. Xiong was really afraid that her daughter would be soft-hearted and give away the meat, but she was reluctant to take a bite, so she quickly pulled the little girl out of the kitchen, plugged in the latch, and feasted with Xing Junlan in the house like a hungry wolf.
After eating and drinking, Mrs. Xiong felt strange and couldn't help asking,
"Where did you get so much mutton?"
Xing Guihua was thinking for a long time, thinking about whether it would be better not to let her mother know about this matter, when a sound of knocking on the door outside interrupted her thoughts.
"Xing Guihua, you open the door for me, did you eat all my meat? ”
Xing Guihua only began to know that she was scared at this time, hiding behind the old lady Xiong and not daring to go up and open the door, only to hear the sound of slamming the door getting louder and louder,
"If I don't open the door again, I'll burn the yard with a fire. ”
What Chen Tianba's reputation in the village was, Mrs. Xiong knew it in her heart, so she also knew that this bastard also did such a thing as arson, so she quickly pulled out the door, and the moment she opened it, the door was kicked open violently, making a clanging sound, which startled her. Without waiting for her to react, this angry bastard stepped forward and gave Xing Guihua a strong slap,
"You slut, you actually ate all the meat while I was asleep. ”
Chen Tianba couldn't get the anger in his heart when he saw the bare dry bones on the stove, thinking about how difficult it was for him to get these meats, he ate everything in one bite, and he hadn't met anyone who dared to treat him like this since he was born, so he couldn't help but pull her hair and pushed her into the corner fiercely.
Xing Guihua only felt a sharp pain in the back of her head, and when she touched it with her hand, it was blood in her hand. Only then did Mrs. Xiong react, grabbed the kitchen knife on the board and pointed at Chen Tianba and said,
"Chen Tianba, if you dare to do anything to our mother and son today, I will die together. ”
Chen Tianba looked at the withered description in front of him, and his whole body trembled because of fear, and he felt ridiculous.
"Together, you're an old woman?"
As soon as Chen Tianba went up, he hit the knife in her hand to the bottom, and kicked it into the far corner.
"The meat you eat is ,,,,,, my dowry. ”
Xing Guihua turned her head and said through gritted teeth, as if she had made a lot of determination before she spoke.
"Dowry, you're such a big face, why do you think I'm going to want you to be such a shameless slut. ”
When Xing Guihua heard this, she suddenly felt like a thunderbolt hit her on her body, and looked at the sarcastic and disgusted face in front of her in disbelief,
"You haven't been all the time," she couldn't say the last words, but Chen Tianba did know what she wanted to say.
"I've always wanted to sleep, and I've slept too. ”
When the old lady Xiong heard this, she pounced on it, and grabbed Chen Tianba without caring about anything, but he kicked it to the wall where Xing Guihua was, hit the wall and made a muffled sound, and then fainted.
Chen Tianba didn't know that this old woman was so unkicked, and she was so scared that she escaped from the old courtyard of the Xing family.
Xing Dagui and He Wenbi dared to enter the kitchen when they saw that the declining spirit was gone, and they also jumped when they saw the scene in the house. Xing Dagui was stunned for a moment before he stepped forward to check on his wife's situation, and was relieved to see that he was still breathing.
Seeing this situation, He Wenbi couldn't help but feel a little refreshed, but she couldn't say too ugly in front of her man, but she felt uncomfortable in her heart if she didn't say it.
"I'll just say, the smell of meat that came there early in the morning turned out to be meat exchanged for "meat". Also, as long as you can stutter something you can't sell in this year. ”
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at his man, and when he saw that he lowered his head as he listened to his words, he snorted coldly and went back to his room.
After Xing Dagui settled his mother, when he returned to the house, he saw his mother-in-law sitting on the kang waiting for him, standing at the door and not daring to go in. Seeing this, He Wenbi walked straight to the door and twisted his ears,
"I think your family is a virtue, if she sells herself, you dare to sell your daughter?"
Xing Dagui couldn't care about his aching ears, and hurriedly covered her mouth,
"Be quiet, wait for Xiaolan to hear. ”
"You dare to sell her, and you are afraid that she will hear about it?"
Xing Dagui glanced at the door, saw that there was no one, and said,
"My own daughter, you think I want to sell, what can I do? If I can't feed them, I can sell?"
Xing Dagui felt bored when he thought of this, grabbed the cigarette stick on the cabinet and lit it.
"We don't have the ability to feed our three children, so if she goes to a big family, she may be able to live and save food for his brother. ”
Although He Wenbi was reluctant to sell the daughter she had finally given birth to, she also knew in her heart that what her man said was the truth, thinking that now there were many people in the village who had made the same decision as them, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, and it was considered to be fate.
Seeing that his mother-in-law's attitude had softened, Xing Dagui began to comfort,
"In this world, it is not easy to find a family with a full meal, Xiaolan is lucky, she looks like a symbol, this is considered to have chosen her, and other people's families can't send it out. ”
He Wenbi had also heard these words from the third aunt, and even said that people were starving to death in some places in the north, and they all fled to the south.
"When is that family coming to pick up?"
Xing Dagui listened to her ask, and knew that she had recognized it in her heart, and took a deep breath of earthy smoke, and spit out a thick smoke, as if she felt that the suppressed boredom in her heart also poured out.
"Tomorrow. ”
