Ji Dong held the bowl, with only a portion of stewed cabbage on top of the white rice, and not even a trace of meaty smell.
Jiang Xue and the others were actually eating beef, and even the soup was made from beef bones. He would have been satisfied even if he had just had a taste.
He held his bowl, eating and shaking it as he spoke, "You guys are eating quite well, huh?"
Ji Chen was too lazy to pay attention to him. In Ji Chen's opinion, he absolutely could not tolerate Ji Dong's lazy and gluttonous nature. Once he developed a habit with him, he would never be able to have a peaceful life in the future.
He didn't want to support a parasite that was decades old. "We work hard to earn money, so of course we should eat well."
"Brother, the way you're talking makes it sound like I don't make any money." Ji Dong stared at the beef in the pot, each person taking a bite with their chopsticks, clearly already seeing how much they were eating.
Taking advantage of Ji Chen's inattention, he took a bite of the cabbage on his chopsticks and then picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks.
Ji Chen used his chopsticks to pick up the thick slice of beef that Ji Dong had already picked up.
The beef was covered in red broth, and the aroma penetrated right into Ji Dong's body. He swallowed hard, "Brother, let me have a taste."
Ji Chen ignored him, but Jiang Xue couldn't stand it anymore. "Why don't you go to work with your brother tomorrow? As long as you have income, I won't ask you for food expenses. You can have a bite when we have good food."
Ji Dong quickly turned his head away, "Fine, I won't eat yours, okay? I don't care, pfft."
He showed no appreciation whatsoever. Seeing that Jiang Xue had almost finished eating the beef, she said, "Put the tripe in the broth and blanch it."
Gu Xiaohei's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the fresh, fragrant, and tender tripe.
"How come I've never eaten anything so delicious? You mean tripe?" Gu Xiaohei ate several bites in a row, savoring the crispness and the lingering fragrance in his mouth.
"Cow stomach." Jiang Xue felt that it was because this place was so isolated that she had no idea that this thing was edible. She probably just threw it away because it was dirty and difficult to clean.
“When my family slaughtered a cow before, we would just throw it away because we thought it was inedible.”
Gu Xiaohei quickly added, "I'll bring it to my sister-in-law next time. Your cooking is really delicious. I've never eaten anything so good in my life."
Ji Dong, who was standing to the side, swallowed hard. "Brother, I'll go to work with you tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, he picked up a large piece of tripe with his chopsticks. Its crisp and chewy texture really amazed him.
He simply brazenly sat down and ate with them.
Jiang Xue doesn't have a big appetite. Although she likes food, she gets full after only a couple of bites.
"Who, who made my wife divorce me?"
Jiang Xue, who had already put down her chopsticks, was standing in the yard when she noticed that the man with the mole looked so familiar.
She suddenly remembered—wasn't that Aunt Zhou's husband from under the big tree during the day? Could it be that Aunt Zhou went back and started a divorce argument with her?
Seeing Jiang Xue alone in the yard, the man shouted, "I'll beat you to death, you bitch!"
When Jiang Xue saw that the man was heading straight for her and about to hit her, she picked up Shao Meng and ran into the house.
Upon hearing the commotion, Ji Chen rushed into the courtyard.
Then Gu Xiaohei, Ji Dong, and the remaining few strong young men all crawled out of the house.
The man shuddered in fright and turned to run out of the yard.
Gu Xiaohei rushed forward, grabbed the man by the collar, and dragged him into the yard. "This is the man. He was planning to beat up my sister-in-law during the day, but I happened to see it and prevented him from succeeding."
Jiang Xue looked at the man, thinking, "He's ugly as can be, and he even hits his wife. This scumbag, my first wife, should we teach him a lesson?"
