Chapter 35 Do you think this kind of person should be smoked?
Gu Xiaoxi looked at her sister-in-law in a daze. It turned out that her sister-in-law's brain was not working well.
never mind!
My sister-in-law will know about it later.
Anyway, now that she is here, the family won’t have to worry about having no meat to eat, they just need to buy some food.
Although there is food in the warehouse of the space, they are all fine grains and can only be taken out when it is time to eat fine grains.
When Chai heard that Xiaoxi had brought back a pheasant, she hurried out of the house, picked up the pheasant and said, "This pheasant is quite fat. It will be worth a lot of money if we take it to town to sell it tomorrow."
"Mom, this pheasant is not for sale. You don't have to worry about paying off the debt. The children are growing up. Look at how thin Dani has become." After saying this, Gu Xiaoxi snatched the pheasant from his mother's hand and went into the kitchen.
Hey hey hey…
Chai chased into the kitchen while talking.
Gu Xiaoxi ignored her mother's complaints and cooked the whole chicken, using part of the meat to make soup and the rest to make a dry pot.
Not only that, instead of eating porridge tonight, they cooked a big pot of rice, which made Chai very sad.
The neighbors on both sides couldn't help swallowing when they smelled the fragrance.
"Where did they earn the money to be able to eat chicken?" Gu Tian's wife swallowed her saliva.
"Don't you know? They have returned the money to everyone else in the village, except for the old patriarch's family and my aunt's family." Gu Tian swallowed his saliva as he spoke.
Who doesn’t want to eat meat these days, let alone chicken?
The smell was so fragrant that it made his stomach growl.
snort!
Gu Tian’s wife was unhappy. Their family couldn’t even afford to eat chicken, so the poor guy next door was even less worthy!
Thinking of this, she angrily walked out of the yard and went straight to the old patriarch's house.
The old patriarch is easy to talk to, but his eldest daughter-in-law is not.
In the yard on the other side, Gu Guang and his wife felt their stomachs growling when they smelled the chicken soup, but they didn't do anything, just cursed under their breath.
In the yard, Gu He's family smelled the aroma of chicken soup and couldn't wait to eat it.
Gu Xiaoxi asked her third brother to call her uncle over, saying that such a big chicken would taste better with one more person.
Not only that, before eating, she also served a bowl to her mother.
"Mom, please take this to the old patriarch's house." She instructed her mother.
"That's fine. We must remember the great kindness the old patriarch has shown to our family." Although Chai is usually frugal, she will still remember the kindness that should be remembered.
Chicken was a rare commodity in the village, so in order not to attract attention on the road, she took a basket and put the chicken in before going out.
"Brother, you go with mom. It's getting dark, so you'd better be careful." Gu Xiaoxi advised his brother.
"Okay!" Gu Dongming followed his mother out of the house.
In order to prevent people from coming to take advantage of the situation, Gu Xiaoxi covered the cooked chicken with a pot lid, and then followed everyone to peel chestnuts in the yard.
After waiting for a while, there was a knock on the door.
Xue was worried that someone was coming to extort money, so she carefully looked out through the crack in the door. When she saw that it was the third son and his uncle, she opened the door to the yard.
About an incense stick of time had passed since Gu An came over when he saw Xue coming back with Gu Nanming, cursing at him.
Hearing her mother's voice, Gu Xiaoxi hurried forward and opened the door.
Before entering, Chai spat at the gate of the adjacent courtyard: "What a jerk! You just can't stand seeing others doing well. Don't let it end up in my hands someday!"
Gu Xiaoxi didn't understand what was going on?
Why did my mother come back so angry after going out?
"Mom, calm down and come in and talk." She walked up, took the basket from her mother's hand, and dragged her into the yard.
Chai's voice rose several degrees again, and she shouted: "Gossip girl, be careful that someone will cut off your tongue one day!"
"Mom!" Gu Xiaoxi shouted, closed the yard door and bolted it.
Chai walked into the kitchen angrily, and her mood improved a little when she smelled the aroma of chicken.
"Mom, what happened?" Gu Xiaoxi asked curiously.
"That wife of Gu Tian next door is such a gossipmonger. When she couldn't get her chicken, she went to the eldest son's wife of the old patriarch to gossip about her.
I happened to hear it when I went there.
Yuntian's wife was so angry that she almost came to us to ask for the debt, but was stopped by Aunt Luobo.
Do you think this kind of person should be smoked?" Chai told everyone what had happened.
After hearing what her mother said, Gu Xiaoxi felt that these two neighbors were also a big trouble.
She suddenly remembered something and looked at her father and asked, "Dad, I remember if our family has any other land?"
"Land?" Gu He didn't understand why his daughter asked this?
Gu An understood his niece's thoughts. He smiled and said, "Xiaoxi, your father also has a piece of land at the foot of the mountain, but that place is too remote."
"Yes, that place is too remote. No one lived there before. Now only your uncle lives next to it." Gu He answered his daughter.
After answering, he suddenly realized something and said with sudden enlightenment: "You are not planning to build a house there, are you?"
"I really have that idea." Gu Xiaoxi doesn't like the prying eyes of neighbors. She can't even eat in peace.
When Xue heard her sister-in-law say this, she thought she was going to make trouble again, and hurriedly said, "We still owe so much and are starving. Even if we don't owe any more, the winter there is very cold."
What's there to be afraid of when it's cold?
Get more firewood, or burn some charcoal.
As for paying off the debt, Gu Xiaoxi has made up her mind that when she goes to the city the day after tomorrow, she will sell a wild ginseng and some medicinal herbs to pay back part of the money first, so as to avoid feeling too much pressure.
"Eat, eat as much as you want tonight. I made a good income today, and I will bring more to the city to sell the day after tomorrow. Also, starting tomorrow, the eldest and third brothers will practice martial arts with me." After she said that, she opened the lid of the pot.
The three children's eyes widened when they smelled the rich aroma of meat.
Gu Xiaoxi served two chicken legs and two chicken wings first, then looked at Dani and asked, "Dani, do you want chicken legs or chicken wings?"
Dani looked at the chicken legs and then at the chicken wings. Although she wanted to eat chicken legs, she thought of her two younger sisters and replied, "Auntie, I, I like to eat chicken wings."
Gu Xiaoxi could see that Dani actually wanted to eat chicken legs, but she chose chicken wings because she had two younger sisters.
"Okay, then you eat the chicken wings first. Next time I kill a pheasant, I'll give you chicken legs." After she said that, she took out the two big chicken wings and put them into Dani's bowl.
When Dani saw two big chicken wings in the bowl, she looked at her cousin in disbelief and didn't take her hand out for a long time.
Xue glared at Dani anxiously, fearing that her sister-in-law would go back on her word and take the chicken wings back.
"Take it and eat it, and drink more soup later." Gu Xiaoxi shouted again.
Dani came to her senses and reached out to take the bowl that her aunt handed to her.
Xue was afraid that the silly child would spill the food, so she stepped forward and took the bowl over.
Humph!
Mrs. Chai looked at her eldest daughter-in-law and cleared her throat. This eldest daughter-in-law was really shameless. She was so dissatisfied with Xiaoxi before, but now she had the nerve to let her daughter eat what Xiaoxi brought back.
When Xue saw the look in her mother-in-law's eyes, she lowered her head guiltily and handed the bowl to her mother-in-law.
