At this moment, Aunt Wang's eyes were practically spitting fire as she looked at Bai Yueyao. Whether she wanted the small fish and shrimp or not was no longer important; what mattered was that she hadn't gotten the benefit, and it was all Bai Yueyao's fault.
Bai Yueyao was unaware of the seriousness of the matter, and she regretted her failed attempt to sow discord.
Little did she know that she would have even less food to eat when she got back. For someone like Granny Wang, who considers it a loss not to pick up money, how serious would the consequences be if she didn't get such a great deal?
Apart from Bai Yueyao and Wang Da Niang, who never stops taking advantage of others, most of the aunties and grandmas on the farm are very nice people.
They were just helping to pick up these scraps of fish and shrimp, and the kids got ten candies in return. What more could they ask for?
Each person gets a 5-pound fish. Who has the patience to clean this piece of junk, and it would be a waste of oil to cook it!
Two young wives, being ignorant, tried to pick some and put it in their own baskets, and their mother-in-law slapped them until their hands were red.
Little Grass's mother was one of them. She covered her hands and said to Aunt Yu with a wronged expression:
"Mom, I'll take some small fish and shrimp. I'll clean them up and give them to Grandma Xiaocao's family later!"
Aunt Yu glared at Little Grass's mother and said:
“Your daughter is going to winter fishing with Youliang too. If you take this, you can’t accept any of the ten pieces of candy that Master Zhong gives your child!”
Little Grass's mother retorted, unconvinced:
“Why shouldn’t I take it? It’s ten candies that Xiaocao earned by helping her with her work. I can take them home and give them to Xiaocao to help him get some nutrition.”
Aunt Yu didn't indulge her at all, saying:
"Who did you work for? You took all the grass you picked back with you! And you still have the nerve to ask for their candy?"
If this isn't said outright, Xiaocao's mom is truly shameless, but while Xiaocao's mom may be shameless, her husband and Xiaocao's dad still have to care about their reputation.
So you're the only one with a clever mind, while everyone else is a fool, only thinking about good things, letting you get away with it!
After saying this, even though Little Grass Mom was unwilling, she couldn't bring herself to take the small fish and shrimp anymore!
She glanced at the small fish and shrimp with resentment, then reluctantly retreated behind Aunt Yu.
Aunt Wei witnessed this scene, glanced at another young woman who wanted to take some small fish and shrimp, and said to Aunt Zheng indirectly:
"There really are people who can't count. They would take all the small fish and shrimp that people traded candy for with their children and keep them for themselves."
Aunt Zheng cooperated perfectly, saying:
"Who says otherwise? We say our son didn't get any, but what about our nephews, nieces, and cousins? How can you be so shameless!"
Aunt Wei curled her lip and said:
"Just pretend you don't know what's going on, it's so much better to gain an advantage from both sides, who's smarter than you!"
"Just look at all that junk you're collecting, how much candy does Master Zhong have to give these kids? At least four pounds, right?"
"Four pounds of sugar is worth more than this junk; it could even get you two big fish. Isn't that much more satisfying than this junk?"
Aunt Zheng agreed:
"It's a disguised way of subsidizing the children. Not to mention this time, whenever the children go to Master Zhong's house, Master Zhong always gives them a treat to sweeten their mouths. People's hearts are never satisfied!"
"With this family's reputation, no one can get a second hand in their friendship, no matter how sincere they are."
...
The two of them, taking turns mocking each other, made the two young wives so embarrassed they wanted to stick their faces in their pants.
Not to mention my mother-in-law, even my father-in-law, who doesn't do anything at home, has glanced this way several times!
After being scolded by Aunt Zheng and Aunt Wei, even those who had wanted to take advantage of the situation felt embarrassed!
Zhong Wanwan glanced at Bai Yueyao, snorted coldly, and stuffed the small fish and shrimp back into the sack!
She dares to pick up these small fish and shrimp, so she must have a plan to deal with Bai Yueyao. She's trying to dig a pit for her, but she doesn't even know if she has the ability.
All that's left is to divide the fish. Zhong Wanwan and her two siblings will each receive 14 jin of fish, with Zhong Wanwan and Zhong Songbai each receiving 5 jin, and Xiao Baiyang, who is under 14 years old, receiving only 4 jin.
Also, Zhong Wanwan and Zhong Songbai each received 100 jin (50 catties) from the hunting team.
The 10 jin of fish that Bai Yueyao and Tang Zixuan subsidized were divided among 5 people. Zhong Wanwan, Zhong Songbai, and Xiao Baiyang each received 6 jin, and Wei Maisui and Zheng Nannan each received 2 jin.
Wei Maisui and Zheng Nannan refused, but Zhong Wanwan forced each of them to eat a fish weighing over 2 jin (approximately 1 catties).
"Take this quickly, it's the subsidy we got for helping Tang and Bai repair their tractors last time!"
"After we get the fish, we should also thank Tang and Bai, the educated youth. If it weren't for their ingenious idea, we wouldn't have had the chance to receive this subsidy!"
Wei Maisui burst out laughing when she heard Zhong Wanwan's words.
What a brilliant idea! That's just shameless. Her master can really insult people without using any vulgar language.
Zheng Nannan said in a serious tone:
"We really need to thank them properly. This subsidy is enough for our whole family to have a good fish meal. If this happens again in the future, Tang and Bai, don't hesitate to help us clean up their messes!"
Wei Maihui also chimed in:
"Don't worry, Sister Nan, with Tang and Bai, these two brilliant young talents, how could we possibly miss out on this subsidy opportunity!"
Zheng Nannan agreed:
"That's right, they must be educated youth from Beijing. They really know how to have fun. We've never heard of anything like it!"
Wei Maisui mocked:
"He's quite the player, isn't he? He almost got sent to a labor camp for being a pervert, and he even caused other educated youth on the farm to suffer for several days!"
As soon as Wei Maisui finished speaking, the educated youth in the educated youth compound recalled that unpleasant experience, and their eyes turned unfriendly towards Tang Zixuan and Bai Yueyao!
Bai Yueyao was so embarrassed that she couldn't stay any longer, so she covered her face and ran to Aunt Wang's house.
Tang Zixuan couldn't save face either, and since he wouldn't get any fish anyway, he went back with Bai Yueyao.
Tang Zihao looked at the two people who had run away, unsure whether to run or not.
What exactly did his cousin and his wife do? It sounds pretty sensational to him!
