Chapter 239 One thing is holding a grudge
Today, when she heard that Tan Chen's family was slaughtering a pig, Mrs. Zhang San planned to come over to buy some. She was also aware of the conflict between her and Shang Ruoting, so she thought that when everyone went to buy meat, she would mix in to make up the number, and she had to get a piece of meat for her son.
She was the one who started to lead the pace.
Seeing the two captains coming here to drive people away, she still felt a little unwilling to not be able to eat her son's meat.
"Captain, Deputy Captain Wang, no matter who slaughters pigs in our village, they will sell some to the villagers. What do the Tan Chens have? Why don't they sell them to us?"
Originally, there were two captains here trying to persuade those people to return, but Tan Chen didn't want to show up. However, he was shocked by what Zhang Sansao said.
He deliberately turned back to the yard, picked up a piece of three-layer meat, and walked out the door.
"Did you see that?"
"My pigs are so fat that the meat is already sizzling with oil before it's even cooked."
Mrs. Zhang thought what she said worked, and Tan Chen planned to sell it to them.
She looked at the people in her group with pride and said, "Well, if you don't say something harsh, you won't get any meat."
Tan Chen deliberately waved the meat in front of her, and then threw the meat into Gao Ming's hand.
"You want meat, right?"
Mrs. Zhang San and a few people who made sarcastic remarks nodded.
Tan Chen smiled: "I have plenty of meat at home, but I won't sell it to you!"
At this time, Shang Ruoting also came over. She watched Tan Chen teasing those people and kept holding back her laughter.
As soon as Tan Chen finished speaking, before Mrs. Zhang and the others could react, she added, "I'm so angry..."
At this point, everyone around burst into laughter.
The faces of several people, led by Mrs. Zhang San, turned purple with anger.
Pointing at Shang Ruoting's nose: "You...you...are going too far..."
Shang Ruoting still had a smile on her face, but that smile never reached her eyes.
"The pigs are raised by my family. I will give them to whoever I want to eat. Don't say we don't plan to sell pork. Even if we do, we won't sell it to you."
"Don't forget who was the one who spread bad things about me all over the village. Someone even said I was fickle on my wedding day. Although I, Shang Ruoting, am not a remarkable person, I do have one thing in common: I hold grudges."
"Of course, I will repay those who show me kindness many times over."
After saying that, she looked at those people again and said, "Get lost!"
Gao Ming saw his sister-in-law starting to chase them away, so he walked forward with the meat in his hand and said, "My sister-in-law told you to get out! What are you still standing there for?"
"It's obvious that he's not a good person. He didn't even let a little girl go..."
He uttered mocking words and made a gesture to chase the person away.
Zhao Fa and Deputy Captain Wang also looked at them angrily.
Mrs. Zhang San knew that she would not gain any advantage from today's events, so she didn't care about her accomplices, stomped her feet, and left first.
Seeing that the one who started the commotion had left, everyone realized that it was futile to continue making a fuss, so they followed suit and left one after another.
The farce caused by slaughtering the New Year pig did not have any impact on Tan Chen's family.
After all, there are all kinds of shameless people in the village. If you get angry with them, you would have died of anger long ago.
A group of people returned to the yard again and continued to work on their tasks.
After working hard until one o'clock in the afternoon, all the pig-killing dishes prepared by Chef Mrs. Shang were ready and served on the table one after another.
Not many people were invited. The men set up a table in the living room of the east room, while the women and children sat in the living room of the west room.
Everyone looked at the delicious food on the table and drooled.
Especially for the men's table, Shang Ruoting specially made a jar of premium liquor with sorghum in the space. As soon as the jar was opened, the aroma of the liquor filled the air, making these men who usually didn't want to spend money on liquor drool instantly.
In addition, Shang Ruoting also processes wine, which is a good thing rarely seen in the countryside.
Looking at the dishes on the table, the pig-killing dish filled an aluminum basin with plenty of meat and homemade blood sausage.
In addition, there are refreshing cabbage, mapo tofu, roasted beans, garlic eggplant...
Such dishes are hard to come by even during the Chinese New Year, not to mention that they are made by the amazing chef, Mrs. Shang. The taste is even more tempting than the appearance.
Everyone present knew that the food at Tan Chen's house was delicious, and they also knew that it was all prepared by Old Lady Shang, an old lady who had suffered for many years.
Zhao Fa and Deputy Captain Wang have been close to Shang Ruoting and his wife during this period, and have also had more contact with Old Lady Shang. They feel deeply sympathetic to her experience and hate Shang Lichun's ruthlessness.
It was he who, in order to protect himself, pushed such a good mother into the abyss...
The table with women and children had more people and was more lively.
