Chapter 9 I'll leave it to you, don't let me down
Tang Xiang and Gu Yunqing dragged the wild boar out of the forest, and they were immediately discovered by the surrounding children.
A few small eyes rushed over, and when they saw the miserable appearance of the wild boar, Xiao Wu was afraid to pull the corner of Gu Yunrui's clothes and shrank behind him, "Brother, it glared at me!" ”
Of course, the wild boar can't stare at it, Gu Yunrui patted Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu is not afraid, it's already dead." ”
Xiao Wu poked out the little brain melon and confirmed that the wild boar was really dead, and immediately jumped out and said happily: "Eat meat!" ”
Thinking of the chicken he ate yesterday, Xiao Wu licked his little mouth and subconsciously sucked his saliva.
The others did not speak.
Although they doted on the youngest brother, the wild boar was in the hands of the stepmother, and they didn't want to eat anything without her consent.
Gu Yunrui quietly looked at his eldest brother and asked what was going on with this wild boar with his eyes, Gu Yunqing shook his head, signaling that this wild boar was not fought by himself, Gu Yunrui lowered his head with a complicated expression.
On the one hand, he hoped that it was his brother who killed the wild boar, and on the other hand, he also hoped that his brother was not in danger.
Gu Yunqing said: "Mother, what should I do with this wild boar?" ”
Although they are all hungry for meat, the wild boar is the stepmother's, and it is up to her to decide.
Tang Xiang looked at the expressions of a few small ones, and said lightly: "Of course it was sold." ”
With such a big pig, you can't eat it yourself.
Gu Yunqing subconsciously glanced at a few younger siblings, and sure enough, he saw disappointment in their eyes.
He understood their thoughts, if they ate meat, maybe they could still get a little more, and yesterday's chicken meal gave them a little hope.
But if you sell it for money, it has nothing to do with them, and the stepmother won't give them a copper plate.
Tang Xiang naturally didn't know how to do this thing of killing pigs and selling meat, and he didn't want to do it.
"I'm going to town."
Gu Yunqing hurriedly said: "Mother, you don't need to go to the town, just sell it in the village." ”
I don't know if he was too anxious, Tang Xiang squinted at him, Gu Yunqing hurriedly laughed, "The price in the town is low, and you can sell more if you sell it separately." ”
Tang Xiang believed this, but she could see that this kid had his own thoughts.
But it doesn't matter, she doesn't really want to go to town, and with so much going on today, who knows if there will be any moths.
"I'll leave this to you, don't let me down."
As she spoke, she was about to drag the wild boar to the village, but was stopped by Gu Yunqing, "Mother, you rest, let's call a few uncles to drag it." ”
He looked at Gu Yunrui, "Yunrui, go and call a few uncles to come over and help, and call Uncle Li Zheng as well." ”
Gu Yunrui ran away, and after a while, he came with a few villagers, and when he saw the wild boar, several people exclaimed.
"Good fellow, such a big head!"
"It's also a bit miserable, my head is flattened."
Several people subconsciously looked at Tang Xiang, and the guess in their hearts about her force value was a few points higher.
Several people carried the wild boar down the mountain, and soon a group of villagers surrounded them, watching the wild boar's eyes glow.
Gu Yunqing quietly raised her eyes to look at Tang Xiang, and when she saw that she didn't speak, she immediately shouted, "Uncles and aunts, this pig will be sold in our village for a while, and it will be charged less than the town!" ”
The pig killer was in the village, and he had already arrived at this time, sitting on the side to sharpen his knife, Gu Yunqing called Gu Wan and the sisters to boil water, and the yard was in full swing.
Their family hasn't killed a pig for many years, and such a lively scene has always been just looking at others, and today it can be regarded as raising eyebrows.
Gu Yunqing's back couldn't help but straighten a little.
Tang Xiang was not happy to join in the excitement, and turned around and went back to the house directly, the villagers pouted when they saw it, this Tang Xiang is really unpleasant, he doesn't care about his own affairs, so he pushes it to a child, it's not like words!
But thinking that this wild boar was still beaten by her, everyone surrounded Gu Yunqing.
"Brother Qing'er, tell your uncle the truth, this wild boar was really hit by your stepmother, didn't it hit a stone?"
They didn't want to believe that Tang Xiang's woman was so powerful.
Gu Yunqing knew what they were thinking, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it, but this was the case.
"It was the stepmother who beat it, and the stepmother stoned it to death."
Nothing superfluous, nothing to say.
They still have to live with their stepmother, and if she is treated as a demon and a monster, they will not be good.
Although he suspected in his heart that the mother would not be the other stepmother, but this stepmother would treat Xiao Wu and give them meat, perhaps, it would not be so bad to keep her?
Gu Yunqing's mind was full of thoughts, and the surrounding villagers couldn't believe it, that woman was really amazing now, but why didn't she find out before?
Could it be that she has been hiding clumsily before, not wanting people to find out about her abnormality, and now she is forced to a dead end and has to be exposed?
Tang Xiang didn't know that the villagers were already making excuses for her, if she knew, she would definitely feel comfortable, which would save her a lot of trouble.
Soon the water boiled, because the wild boar was dead, naturally he couldn't hear the howl of killing the pig, but a jubilant voice came from outside to let Tang Xiang know that this had already begun.
The pig killer was neat and quickly bled and divided, took his share of the reward, and the next thing was to sell the meat.
The Gu family stood in a row, giving the villagers a pound of meat for you and me, and at this time a voice sounded.
"Ouch, we're late, we're done!"
And when they looked at the door, they saw a group of four or five men coming in through the gate, starting with a woman in her thirties.
The woman had high cheekbones and raised eyes, and she didn't look very easy to get along with, but she smiled when she entered the door, and stepped forward to the table where the meat was placed, "Ouch, this old meat." ”
said, looked at Gu Yunqing, "You kid, why don't you inform your aunt about this, what can you children do, come, auntie and a few of your cousins will help you sell it." ”
As he spoke, he was about to collect the copper plate in the hands of the villager in front of him.
Gu Yunqing's face turned red, and he snatched the copper plate from the villager's hand and held it in the palm of his hand, "Don't trouble Uncle, we can do it." ”
The Gu brothers have long been separated, Gu's father was not close to Uncle Gu when he was alive, after Gu's father died, Uncle Gu wanted to occupy Gu's father's land, if it weren't for Tang Xiang's stepmother, they would all fall into their hands, then there would really be nothing.
This is also the reason why the Gu family did not dare to resist although they were abused.
And now, what Uncle Gu's family is doing is very clear to Gu Yunqing, they must have taken a fancy to the money from selling wild boars!
Gu Yunqing looked defensive, the Zhao family was very unhappy, he couldn't imagine that this family still had this luck, such a big pig, how much money would it have to sell!
She reprimanded Gu Yunqing, "Brother Qing, what do you mean by this, we are kind enough to help you, why don't you know what to do!" ”
Several of her sons also glared at Gu Yunqing.
"What kind of eyes are you kid, my mother is willing to help you, but you still don't appreciate it, believe it or not, I'll beat you!"
