"Da Niu, where did you get this meat?"

There were also big bones and a pig's heart?!

Old Mrs. Zhou's voice attracted the attention of Old Mrs. Zhou. Seeing that her mother-in-law hadn't let anyone in, she curiously stepped forward...

"My God, Da Niu, tell your aunt the truth, where did you get the money to buy meat?"

Da Zhou silently swallowed the word "steal." At her wit's end, what was there that a child wouldn't do...?

"Don't worry, Grandma and Aunt, this is what my mother bought. She asked me to deliver it. Please don't be shy, just accept it. I have to go home and do some work."

Wu Daniu said with a proud look that he had actually seen something in his grandmother's and aunt's eyes, but given his family's situation, it was inevitable that they would think that way.

He didn't care, he really didn't care...

"ah?"

Old Mrs. Zhou was not at ease. When her third son was alive, his wife was always difficult. Not to mention that she would send human flesh, even just eating a bite of it would cause a huge uproar!

"Grandma, don't worry, take the meat. Grandpa, Uncle, Uncle, and Dashan and Xiaoshi have all been working in the fields lately. They can't go without some oil in their bellies. Don't worry, I saw my mother buy this meat in town with my own eyes. It's clean!"

Wu Daniu smiled and explained, then stuffed the things into his aunt's hands, waved goodbye, and said:

“My mother has changed, she’s changed for the better. I’m the pillar of the third branch of the family, and I will work with my mother to make the third branch a success! In the future, all of us siblings will be successful and will take care of you.”

As he turned away, two streams of tears welled up in Wu Daniu's eyes.

He used to live a muddled and aimless life, but now he's determined to become a true man of integrity!

He won't let his father down!

......

"Come back, eldest daughter-in-law, cook all the meat. Da Niu is right, eldest brother, second brother, Da Shan and Xiao Shi have been working in the fields lately, they can't go hungry!"

Grandpa Wu looked up at the sky. Although he was not optimistic about his third daughter-in-law's change, he thought that Da Niu was promising for speaking like that.

"Why."

Da Zhou nodded, took the meat and weighed it in her hand. Good heavens, it weighed two pounds!

Eat sparingly, add more salt after stir-frying, and it can be cooked for several meals!

Stir-fried pork slices with chili peppers, so fragrant!

There are also big bones, which can be used to make soup, so that everyone in the family can enjoy the meat broth!

Pig's heart, this stuff has to be braised, otherwise it has a really strong, unpleasant smell...

My last thought was, "Has my third sister-in-law really changed for the better?"

"No, I don't feel confident at all. Old man, I'm going to the third brother's house, I'll be right back!"

Feeling uneasy, Old Mrs. Zhou hurriedly finished speaking and left the old house...

Grandpa Wu couldn't stop his wife. He sighed inwardly. No matter what, as long as his third son's wife behaved herself and took good care of his grandchildren, he wouldn't ask for anything more...

Here, Jiang Yue sat by the kitchen door, holding a chipped bowl in her hands.

The bowl contained freshly scooped-out pork cracklings, sprinkled with a little salt—it smelled incredibly delicious.

"Mom, you eat first. If you like it, I'll get you another bowl."

Wu Ergou swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on the oil residue.

I thought to myself, "It smells so good! Is this the cracklings from rendered pork fat?"

"Come on, everyone, one bowl each. Plenty of pork cracklings. Don't forget to save one for your eldest brother."

Jiang Yue found it both funny and heartbreaking. It was just fried pork cracklings; did these kids really have to be so greedy for it?

"Can I eat it too?"

Wu Xiaocao nervously tugged at her skirt, unable to believe it.

Jiang Yue nodded, then handed the bowl to Cao'er, saying affectionately:

"Of course, the grass is our little darling, so it's perfectly fine for her to eat!"

Jiang Yue was exhausted. Seeing her two sons staring at her expectantly, like Pekingese dogs waiting to be fed, she had no choice but to roll up her sleeves.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the second and third brothers, he scooped out three large bowls of pork cracklings and sprinkled them with fine salt.

"Come on, everyone, one bowl each. Once you finish it, it's all gone. Don't steal the boss's bowl."

"Aww, thank you, Mom!"

Needless to say, Wu Ergou jumped up excitedly, picked up his bowl of fried pork cracklings, ran to a corner of the yard, squatted down, and savored the rare delicacy.

"Thank you, Mother."

Wu Qingyun may be a bit more refined in his eating habits, but how could he not love such delicious food?

Jiang Yue put the eldest's bowl aside. There were still some bits of oil residue left in the pot. Not wanting to waste anything, she scooped them out and ate them bit by bit herself.

Several children witnessed this scene and exclaimed, "How beautiful is Mom today?"

Wu Xiaocao has a small stomach and can't finish a bowl, so she gives the rest to her mother, who eats it.

As they were talking, the eldest brother returned. Jiang Yue handed him a full bowl of preserved pork cracklings, gesturing for him to eat quickly.

"Mother, I've delivered the meat to the old house."

Wu Daniu, like a child seeking praise and recognition, was trying to win his mother's approval.

"Yeah, Da Niu is awesome, really amazing!"

Jiang Yue naturally didn't hold back her praise and immediately finished complimenting her boss.

After receiving the praise, Wu Daniu squatted contentedly in the corner and ate the fried pork cracklings.

It smells so good! This is the most delicious pork crackling he has ever eaten!

Jiang Yue shrugged. "It's really tiring to take care of a child."

However, the thought of a better future beckoning her filled her with joy.

The pot was full of fragrant, bubbling liquid oil. Jiang Yue found three earthenware jars, scrubbed them clean, checked for leaks, and then scooped and scooped with a spatula...

"Third son's wife~"

"Jiang, you get out here right now!"

Old Zhou didn't go inside; she just called from outside.

It was mealtime, and the villagers were either cooking at home or on their way back, so she wasn't afraid of losing face.

"Huh? That's a milky voice~"

After Er Gou finished eating the pork cracklings, Qing Yun, who had just finished eating them, looked at each other. Then Er Gou went to open the door, wanting to welcome his grandmother into the yard to talk.

When Old Mrs. Zhou saw her second grandson, her anger subsided considerably. Suppressing her harsh tone, she asked suspiciously:

"Ergou, why is your mouth so greasy?"

"Mom took us to town to buy pork fat today. I just ate some pork cracklings, Grandma~"

Wu Ergou trusted his grandmother completely and spoke his mind directly.

"Huh? Your mother knows how to buy pork fat?"

Old Mrs. Zhou couldn't believe it—the third daughter's family had been married into the family for fifteen years!

When has she ever been thrifty and frugal?

If the third son hadn't been so infatuated with Ms. Jiang back then, insisting on marrying no one but her, none of this mess would have happened!

After waiting for the commotion, Jiang Yue took a deep breath, walked out of the kitchen, and said with a smile:

"Mom, you've arrived! Please come inside and sit down."

The relationship between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law has always been difficult. I hope she can get through this.
