Deng Yuliang chatted with Du Wenli for a while and then came over.
Seeing Shen Xiaobei carrying a bunch of food in her hands, she said that she brought too much and insisted on putting some down. Shen Xiaobei naturally refused. After some pushing and shoving, the two of them still set off with a bunch of things.
They had only walked a dozen meters out of the yard when Kong Wanwan from next door walked out of the main room and stretched her neck to look at Shen Xiaobei's yard.
"Du Wenli, come out for a moment!"
"I'm looking after Niuniu!"
"Niuniu is lying on the bed and won't fall off. Come out for a moment!"
"What are you doing again?"
"Look at Shen Xiaobei's place, there are so many cured fish and meats drying in the sun! This woman is celebrating the New Year here alone, can she eat so much and not be afraid of being stuffed to death!"
Kong Wanwan’s face was full of jealousy and ill intentions, her eyes fixed on the six big fish and ten kilograms of bacon that Shen Xiaobei was drying.
She and Du Wenli also pickled some meat, not much, only three pounds, but no fish.
The two of them only pickled a small amount of preserved meat, but Shen Xiaobei pickled so much by herself. This woman was really generous when it came to food. When Kong Wanwan compared herself with her, she immediately felt indignant.
Why is this woman able to eat more than her, live better than her, and live more prosperously than her?
She doesn't even have a man, and she has found a grown man, but he's not living as well as a single woman like her. Where is justice?
Kong Wanwan couldn't figure it out! She felt extremely unbalanced!
"It's their business if they post so much, why do you care so much?"
"Why wouldn't she care? Last time I asked you to borrow a hen from her to produce milk for me, but she refused. She insisted you exchange it with rice. So much rice for a skinny hen. Humph! She must have taken our rice!"
"You're such a fool! You just honestly gave her the amount of rice she asked for! If I were to trade with her, I definitely wouldn't let her weigh that much!"
"It's already been changed. The hen, skin and meat, has already gone into your stomach. What's the point of still talking about this?"
"Could you please stop being so mean to Xiaobei? Don't forget, she was the one who delivered Niuniu. She's your benefactor, after all!"
"What a jerk! You don't even know how she scolded me the day I gave birth to Niuniu. She told me to die and go to see the King of Hell over and over again!"
"It's hard to explain to someone like you. I'm too lazy to talk to you!"
Seeing that Kong Wanwan still hated Shen Xiaobei so much, Du Wenli felt speechless and turned to go into the room to see Niuniu.
“Du Wenli, you bastard, when I say something bad about Shen Xiaobei, you put on a sullen face, is she your wife or am I your wife?”
"You bastard! You're always looking at the pot while eating from the bowl. Don't think I don't know! Humph!"
Even after he walked into the room, Kong Wanwan still chased him and scolded him, not afraid of scaring her daughter. Du Wenli frowned, gave her a look of disgust, and was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Kong Wanwan hated Du Wenli's silence the most. She glared at him for a while, but he didn't even raise his head to look at her. His eyes were all on Niu Niu.
Then he bit his lip hard in anger and walked away.
After walking out of the main room, she looked around and saw that no one was passing by, so she quickly walked to the yard on Shen Xiaobei's side.
The yard on Shen Xiaobei's side is surrounded by a fence made of branches and bamboo strips, and the gate is also a low door inlaid with bamboo strips. It is usually open or half-open.
Because they had to leave a path for a few hens that were out foraging for food to enter and exit, Kong Wanwan walked straight in.
As he walked, he muttered indignantly: "Shen Xiaobei, I asked you to pickle so many cured fish and meat! I asked you to covet our rice! I asked you to seduce Du Wenli!"
Kong Wanwan took two fish and two skewers of meat directly from the bamboo pole and left with a triumphant smile on her face.
After returning to her own house, she went straight into the kitchen and began to wash the cured fish and meat, then put them on the chopping board and chopped them into pieces.
"Kong Wanwan, where did these cured fish and meat come from?"
Hearing the sound of chopping something in the kitchen, Du Wenli hurried in.
"Who cares where it comes from? Just eat it later! I'll cook lunch today!"
"Kong Wanwan, you didn't steal it from Xiaobei, did you? Give it back now! Aren't you ashamed of doing such a sneaky thing?"
"What are you embarrassing about? Not eating as well as others, not living as carefree as others, that's what's embarrassing! Get out, we don't need you in the kitchen today!"
"Kong Wanwan! Kong Wanwan!"
Kong Wanwan rudely drove Du Wenli out, and then immediately bolted the kitchen door, not allowing him to come in.
Du Wenli shouted angrily outside, but when she didn't respond, he turned around and went to Shen Xiaobei's yard to see what was going on.
Seeing that there were four fish and five skewers of meat hanging on the bamboo pole on her side, which looked like a lot, he felt a little relieved. However, he still felt a little worried and angry.
It’s not like Kong Wanwan doesn’t know Shen Xiaobei’s temperament.
She has always been generous to her friends, but when it comes to the couple, she makes the accounts very clear and unambiguous.
If Shen Xiaobei comes back and counts later and finds that a few strings of cured fish and cured meat are missing, the first person he will suspect will definitely be Kong Wanwan.
Hey! This woman is always causing him trouble!
A few days ago, Ma Jiquan sold two pigs from the production team, and she went there to make a fuss, insisting that Ma Jiquan give her dozens of kilograms of pork, saying it was compensation for Niuniu's food rations for a year.
Ma Jiquan naturally refused, as the money from selling the pigs was the collective asset of the production team and had to be paid as taxes to the state.
When the spring planting comes, this money will also be used to buy seeds.
