Gu Linbei glanced at the old lady with a half-smile, but the corners of his mouth curled up with a hint of helplessness: "I gave her the wild boar, so it's naturally up to my wife to decide."

As soon as Gu Linbei said this, Lu Yan instantly gave him a look that said "You are very smart".

The old lady was really annoyed by the couple, but she was the best chatterbox under the big tree after all.

The old lady naturally couldn't let Lu Yan throw dirty water on her family like this. She was unhappy and said, "You are really dirty. You think everyone else is dirty! Women like you should be thrown into the pig cage in our Xiaohe Village!"

Her words might actually be useful in scaring others.

But when it comes to Lu Yan, he looks fearless.

"Then remember to hide well when you are having an affair, otherwise..." Before Lu Yan finished speaking, the old lady was already angry and embarrassed.

The palms in his hands were raised.

As a result, Lu Yan grabbed her wrist tightly.

"What's the matter? You can't win an argument, so you're going to resort to violence?" Lu Yan was the type of person who couldn't tolerate even a grain of sand in her eyes. Her face was filled with sarcasm. "If you raise that slap, you won't be able to buy this wild boar meat anymore."

As soon as Lu Yan said this, the old lady was stunned.

In just a moment, someone behind me started to urge: "Hey, Old Lady Xue, are you going to buy this meat or not? If you don't want to buy it, get out of the way!"

As this voice suddenly sounded, the other few people also urged with unhappy faces.

“Hurry up!”

"Hurry up, we're still waiting to put the meat in the pot!"

As the urging voices from behind sounded, Lu Yan became impatient.

"Come on, auntie, make way!"

Lu Yan raised his hand and waved it, directly waving Old Lady Xue away.

Old Lady Xue staggered, hoping to use Lu Yan's strength to fall directly to the ground! Since she didn't buy the pork, she could just go ahead and hit the car with a fake car.

But before she fell, Gu Linbei seemed to see through her thoughts.

One hand supported Mrs. Xue.

Before Old Lady Xue fell to the ground, she heard Gu Linbei's voice: "Grandma Xue, you'd better be careful. If you fall again when you go back, there will be no one to support you."

Gu Linbei's words seemed to be trying to persuade Old Lady Xue.

In fact, it also refers to something else.

If Old Lady Xue falls again, the villagers will probably soon see through her true nature as a scammer.

Old Mrs. Xue felt humiliated and could only turn around and leave in displeasure.

Lu Yan waved to the people at the back of the group again, "Everyone, come and take a look! We're selling wild boar meat! Thirty cents a pound, no matter which part you choose. First come, first served!"

As Lu Yan's shouting sounded, those who came to buy meat remembered that pork had to be sorted by cuts in the city.

Look, several old ladies squeezed to the front.

The one in the lead said ingratiatingly, "Lao Wu's family, my aunt's family likes to eat fatty meat, so please give them more fatty meat."

After she finished speaking, she came up with a weight in her hand.

Lu Yan didn't know how to read this kind of scale, but fortunately Gu Linbei was there.

So, she just became a hands-off boss and handed the task of weighing to Gu Linbei.

Gu Linbei went to the city to sell game many times, so he naturally knew how to check the scales. In this way, the two of them worked together very easily.

Of course, the only thing that's not so light is...

When Lu Yan was dividing the meat, he took out the knife that had been blunted on the mountain.

When Gu Linbei saw her actions, his eyes almost popped out of his head. He looked at the kitchen knife in disbelief and wanted to ask where Lu Yan got it from.

But Lu Yan had already explained it just now.

She said, "I pin it on my lower back."

Gu Linbei didn't believe what Lu Yan said.

But when she came out, her hands were empty, and there was really nowhere else to put them. So, Gu Linbei just twitched his lips and whispered, "Then you better be careful, it would be bad if you hurt yourself."

Lu Yan nodded, looking serious.

Seeing her like this, Gu Linbei didn't say anything more.

One of the two was busy dividing the meat, while the other was busy weighing it.

It’s no wonder that the couple worked together quite smoothly. In a short while, they had sold most of the wild boar.

Seeing that the team couldn't stop the woman who came to buy meat, who was also the one who started chatting with her, Lu Yan immediately pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Auntie, look at my body, I'm also quite weak... I also want to nourish myself... How about I give you a pound of meat and lend me your stove and seasonings?"

Why don’t you say Lu Yan is smart?

Gu Linbei had been observing Lu Yan and found that she was chatting with a few elderly men and women while dividing the meat.

In just a short while, several elderly people in the village had become familiar with Lu Yan.

"Okay!" The old lady from the Chen family opposite clapped her hands and agreed very readily.

Are you kidding? If there’s meat delivered to your door, why wouldn’t you want it?

"Your mother-in-law is such a jerk! She doesn't even protect her new daughter-in-law..." Old Mrs. Chen sighed helplessly, then began to defend Lu Yan: "However, I heard that she likes the second son's wife very much..."

After Old Lady Chen finished speaking, she looked at Lu Yan again with a sympathetic look on her face.

Lu Yan felt a little embarrassed by her gaze. She sighed softly and looked like she was in pain.

"That old woman from the Gu family is really blind this time. When I look at you, I see that you are a sensible child!"

After Old Lady Chen finished speaking, Lu Yan sighed in pretended grievance.

"Auntie, it's all tears if I talk too much! As women, without our natal family to rely on, we are destined to be bullied."

As Lu Yan spoke, she deliberately wiped away a tear.

When Old Mrs. Chen heard her words, she was deeply touched.

Of course, Lu Yan said this on purpose for Old Lady Chen to hear, because in the original book, the author mentioned Old Lady Chen while fleeing from famine.

Old Lady Chen was originally the daughter of a wealthy family. She married a poor boy and moved to Xiaohe Village, where she lived in anonymity. Over the years, she even used many of the good things in her dowry to subsidize her in-laws.

But her subsequent son and husband were not good people.

In the end, all of Mrs. Chen's money was swindled away by her son and husband, and she was never able to go back to see her parents and relatives. Before she died, Mrs. Chen gave Song Jiao'e the only jade pendant she had that could prove her identity.

From then on, several of Old Lady Chen's brothers became Song Jiao'e's supporters.

He also made great efforts to help the second son of the Gu family to embark on a career in politics.

Can……

No one knew that the only dry steamed bun that could save Old Lady Chen's life when she was fleeing from famine was snatched away by Song Jiao'e.

"Oh, child." Old Mrs. Chen sighed and looked at Lu Yan seriously: "You child... just hold on a little longer, everything will be fine."

These words are full of sadness.
