Chapter 23 The tough Jiang Ruoan
Under the envious and jealous eyes of the villagers, Xu Ye and the others returned to the Li family mansion carrying meat.
Jiang Ruo'an and Li Qing rushed out and helped carry the wild boar into the yard.
After getting an ax from Zhang Sanbao's house, they split the wild boar in half.
Many villagers had already arrived and helped weigh it.
After removing the internal organs, there are still 343 pounds.
"After killing it, there are still more than three hundred kilograms left. This wild boar is too big."
"This meat must be very smelly, it's a boar."
"You can't give me that pound."
"Xu Zhiqing, I want tenderloin. These two barrels of mine are very new. You can use them to make a fool of yourself."
Xu Ye saw everyone squeezing forward and said quickly: "Fellow folks, don't be anxious. The three of us will divide the meat first, and then we will exchange things with everyone."
"Sambo, you keep the accounts." As he spoke, Xu Ye began to chop the meat.
Two pieces of pork were cut in the middle, ready to give the back of the wild boar to Zhang Sanbao and Jiang Ruyue.
Zhang Sanbao took out a notebook and started keeping accounts.
"A total of 343 kilograms. Brother Ye, half of it is 173 kilograms. Sister Ruyue and I each have 85 kilograms." Zhang Sanbao was still good at arithmetic and calculated the result on the spot. He and Jiang Ruyue came up with a round number. The excess was given to Xu Ye.
Next, it’s time to weigh the meat.
"Xu Zhiqing, you are helping the Li family now. The Li family still owes us a lot of money. I don't want more. Give me ten pounds, worth four yuan."
As soon as this statement came out, someone in the crowd hurriedly said: "You also owe my family money. We need eight pounds of meat to pay off the debt."
"The same goes for our family. Our family can afford four pounds of meat."
At this moment, Jiang Ruoan took a piece of meat and smashed it into someone's face.
Then, she picked up the hunting knife on the chopping board and pointed it at the other party, showing a fierce expression.
"Fuck you, who are you talking about?"
"Do you think I, Jiang Ruo'an, am dead?"
"Who came to the house with his wife as a helper? What nonsense are you talking about? Do you believe that I will cut out your tongue?"
"My man saw that my sister's family could not survive, so he risked his life to take her to the mountains to hunt and help their family. In your words, it became a conspiracy?"
Wang Chunhua rushed up and gave the other party a slap in the face, and then quenched her foam: "You are such a sinless person, you dare to slander the reputation of my two nieces. If this word spreads, will they still be human beings?"
"Who would bring their wife to the house to help? You stupid ass, you still want to divide the meat without seeing the three of them?"
At this time, several women present quickly grabbed Wang Chunhua and walked around Jiang Ruo'an, preparing to kill him.
"His aunt, sister Ruoan, don't be angry, you two, they are just confused for a moment, and they will never dare to talk nonsense in the future."
"Folks, do you think so?"
Everyone nodded.
"Yes, yes, you can't talk nonsense. Who would bring his wife to help? Isn't this nonsense?"
"That's right, if they really want to form a gang, how can they share the meat? If they are not all members of the same family, what should they share?"
Seeing this, Xu Ye climbed onto the table.
"Fellow folks, I know you have misunderstood. Yes, my brother-in-law has indeed looked for a few people before, hoping to find someone to come and help my sister-in-law."
"Everyone in the village knows about this, but none of those people agreed. Does everyone know this?"
"Ruo'an and I were anxious when we saw it. We really couldn't bear to let my brother-in-law and his family starve to death, so we took the risk and took my sister-in-law into the mountains with a shotgun, hoping that she could support herself and support my brother-in-law and our family. ”
"Actually, my sister-in-law could remarry. Why not? It's because she values love and justice and is unwilling to abandon her husband who is paralyzed in bed."
"You use your words to hurt such a kind and affectionate girl, won't your conscience hurt?"
"Apologise, I must apologize to my sister-in-law."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for not having eyes on the hunting knife in my hand."
As he spoke, Xu Ye's eyes locked on the person who spoke first.
Feeling the cold eyes, the man couldn't help but trembled. "I'm sorry, sister Ruyue, it was me who was talking nonsense. Please forgive me. I will never talk nonsense again."
Jiang Ruyue's eyes turned red, and then she said: "I remember every penny our family owes. It was Dongming's life-saving money. I also remember everyone's kindness."
"Without your help, Dongming wouldn't be able to save him."
"Don't worry, I will pay back all the money you owe. However, please give me some time."
"The meat I got today can be used to pay off the debt, but I need you to come over with the IOU."
"If you can't pay it back today, just next time, do you think it's okay?"
After speaking, Jiang Ruyue looked around at everyone.
It can be said that every household has money lent to their family.
Fifty cents less, a few yuan more.
Everyone suddenly felt ashamed after hearing Jiang Ruyue's words.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Don't be in a hurry. Our family is not in a hurry. Whoever has more should pay it back first."
"Yes, don't worry, Dongming's wife. Take good care of Dongming first. Our family is not in a hurry either."
"As for Dongming's wife, even in ancient times, she had to be given a chastity arch. From now on, no one can talk nonsense. Anyone who dares to talk nonsense, I, Zhang Xiaofeng, will be the first to refuse."
"That's right, that's right. Don't talk nonsense in the future."
"Don't worry about money. We all understand when everyone has difficulties."
Everyone's words made Jiang Ruyue feel more at ease.
After the news about finding someone to help her spread, she felt heavy and stinging when other people's eyes fell on her.
Because she is very opposed to helping others. If she really needs a man, wouldn't she remarry?
She was not even willing to remarry, so how could she agree to help?
That was the person Li Dongming asked Li Qing to find behind her back, and then the news spread.
In the village, there are many people who covet her, and there are actually some who are willing to help her.
She was firmly opposed to it, and that's why it wasn't done.
Otherwise, there would be no chance for Xu Ye to move in.
Seeing that the heat was almost done, Xu Ye asked Zhang Sanbao to continue dividing the meat.
He believed that after all this commotion, there would be few people in the village who would talk about it.
Even if there is, it's just a few words in private, and I don't dare to talk about it everywhere.
It's enough if you can do this.
After all, people's hearts cannot be controlled.
After Zhang Sanbao divided the meat, they set up three stalls outside.
Xu Ye and Jiang Ruoan shared a stall, Jiang Ruyue and Li Qing shared a stall, and Zhang Sanbao and Wang Chunhua shared a stall, each changing their own things.
One pound of meat per person was divided quickly, especially the fat meat. Everyone grabbed it the fastest.
Everyone likes the fat meat and fat the most at this time, especially the fat residue can be eaten after taking the fat home and boiling it with lard.
The several baskets behind Xu Ye and Jiang Ruo'an were filled with all kinds of things, including not only food, but also various tools, materials, etc.
The main thing is that money cannot be used. Once the money is used, its nature changes and it becomes speculation.
Once he is labeled as a capitalist, his life will be in danger.
But next, you can take it to the purchasing station.
Although the purchase price is low, it can be exchanged for money and some votes.
There are not so many idle things in the village, and it is impossible for every household to exchange grain for meat.
Nowadays, every household does not have much food left.
It is not easy for him to live a life of white rice and vegetables and meat.
