118. 031 Killing pigs and selling meat

Old Mrs. Yun came a few times, almost turned it upside down, and didn't even take back a big cake, which provoked the Chen family to either smash the basin or knock on the table.

Xiucai's brows are also getting tighter and tighter, and if they continue like this, they will have to wait for starvation to death.

Mrs. Yun was helpless, so she had to go to the backyard of Meiniang's house to pull out some vegetables, but the dishes were cooked and eaten without food, and she couldn't be full.

After the last, Mrs. Yun didn't have a long time, and went to Meiniang's house to make a few troubles, but as soon as the courtyard door was closed, no one came out to take care of you crying outside.

Mei Niang and Yun Xuan's 'fierce' names are outside, and no one dares to point fingers in front of this family, as for what they said behind their backs, if they can't hear it, they don't say it, and no one cares at all.

Mrs. Yun was stunned, she never thought that the two sons would really turn their faces and deny her as a mother, and sat in front of Meiniang's house for a day before leaving in a daze.

In order to survive, she could only take out her private money and exchange some Chen Bao rice at a high price in the village, but in this way, she spent all her savings over the years and exchanged it for more than 20 catties of Chen Bao rice.

There is also the problem of draft, since the well water of Meiniang's house has dried up, even if the people in the village can't think about it, in order to survive, they have to go dozens of miles away to pull water, generally several families go together, drive an ox cart, put a large wooden bucket specially used to hold water, and fill enough water for a few days at a time.

Although Mei Niang later secretly put some water into the well, she only put one bottom of the well every time, which was completely insufficient for the whole village, so she did it on purpose.

She saw the attitude of the people in the village that day, and good people are not so easy to do, in this case, what does it matter to her whether others can drink water or not? What the is she doing.

The family only thinks that the water is their own water from the well, there is no doubt, of course, the outside world is tight-lipped to the outside world, but also cold, plus the amount of water has not been much, if the whole village comes to fetch water, it must not be enough, let no one beat is not good, it is better not to tell.

Although the water at home is enough for the family, in order to hide people's eyes, Meiniang's family will occasionally go to the water source with the people in the village to buy water, but each time with different people, so no one knows how much water her family buys.

In addition, Mei Niang's murderous reputation has not only spread in the village, but also heard about it in other villages, every time Mei Niang goes out and puts the big knife on her body, no one really dares to come to fight their idea, but it is much safer.

Uncle Jiang intentionally or unintentionally asked Mei Niang about the machete, Mei Niang only said that Jiang Chuye got it for her to defend herself, and since Uncle Jiang liked it, he gave it to him.

Uncle Jiang is embarrassed to ask for other people's little girl's things, and he can't let go of his suspicious heart.

That day, he could see the truth, Mei Niang inadvertently went down, not only cut off the hoe handle, but also cut off a corner of the hoe, such a sharp blade, not to mention the priceless city, is also a famous weapon that money may not be able to buy, just used to defend Mei Niang?

His son is too generous, and none of the weapons he used to hide in the capital mansion have this sharpness.

On this day, Mei Niang's family is going to kill pigs, in advance with the village to be good to all the families are good, who wants to buy meat can come over, the price of meat is still half bought and half sent according to the original price, after killing the pig, you can also say that the village people eat pork, stew.

Of course, if other people want to buy meat, his family will not be deliberately embarrassed, after all, a pig is so big, these families can't be divided, and now Meiniang's pig is enough to eat, and it is not that bad.

The people in the village got the letter and took dry food at home, and rushed to Meiniang's house like a big set, and the pigs were not carried out of the pen and the courtyard was full of people outside the courtyard, all waiting to see the pig killed, for the people in the village, this is more lively than the New Year.

Yun Laoer's family naturally got the letter, according to the ideas of the people in the village, his family came over without face, but who would have thought that this family not only came, but also came early in the morning.

Old Mrs. Yun came over with her son, daughter-in-law, and Yun Xuan, and they were carrying a few large basins in their hands.

When other people's families come to eat, they are afraid that the bowls of Meiniang's family will not be enough, and they all come from the big bowl they take from their own homes, but his family goes directly to the big pot, and at first glance it is a rack with food and take.

Moreover, it is not possible to take less.

The people in the village despise it, but they can despise it again, and the people are also surnamed Yun.

Yun Lao's three families are all honest, even if Mrs. Yun is no longer right, no one can find fault with her son's things when she is a mother.

It didn't take long for the pig to be killed, and the big pig of more than 500 catties was neatly packed out, and the water, pork bones and some pork were used to cook for the villagers to eat.

The other part was placed in the shade of the tree, and those who wanted to buy meat were holding the money to buy pork and waiting to get the meat, and it was Cheng Sanshu's eldest son who helped sell the meat, Cheng Peng, Yu Yue'e's man, and there were two descendants from the village next to him to help lay a hand, drill a hole in the meat of the good man, and tie it with hemp rope.

The people in the village gathered in a circle, this three catties, that two catties weighed the meat, and Chen also carried a basin and squeezed it in, "Pengzi, give the second lady five catties." ”

Cheng Peng glanced at her, "Twenty Wen!" ”

Chen smiled and said: "You can see clearly, I am your second aunt Yun, and I have to give money to take the meat of my brother's family?" ”

"I just collect money and sell meat, and no one told me that you don't have to take it." Cheng Peng glanced at her, but neatly cut off a piece of meat in his hand and handed it to the person who had given money next to him.

Chen Shi was coldly treated, and his heart was annoyed, but he didn't bring it out on his face, "Eh, Pengzi, you weigh the meat for the second lady first, and I will let the third lady come over to talk to you later, she has already said that it is good, she must have forgotten." ”

Seeing that Cheng Peng didn't raise his head, Chen forked his waist and threw the basin of meat in his hand on the case where the pork was placed, "Did you hear that?" This meat is not yours, you can just cut it for me. ”

Cheng Peng put the meat cleaver on the case, "Although the meat is not my family's, but the third master handed it to me, I have to be more attentive than my family, if you can't cut it, you can't cut it, if you have something to say, you can find my third master to say." ”

Chen's anger was not light, so he simply blocked it and didn't leave, the basin was placed on the case to occupy space, and the people who wanted to buy meat in the back couldn't squeeze in, so there was a commotion here.

Uncle Jiang and Yun Laosan were leading people to deal with the pigs in the water, Uncle Yun was busy greeting the villagers, and He and Li took their daughters and a group of women to light the fire, choose vegetables, and prepare to cook vegetables in the backyard.

When someone came over and told He that the Chen family was making trouble over there, He sighed, when will the second family not give her a headache? But she and the Li family had to come forward in this matter.

The two concubines were about to go over to take a look, but were stopped by Mei Niang, "Mother, what are you going to entangle with her?" Since she can't sell meat there, if she doesn't sell it, why should she be like her? ”

After hearing this, He wanted to say that he promised the people in the village to sell meat, but Li smiled and said: "What Mei'er said is that if you don't sell it, let her make trouble if she likes to make trouble." ”
