Since chestnut shells are hard to peel, Yu Rujia planned to buy some pre-peeled chestnuts. She wasn't short of money and didn't need to make herself suffer. However, she forgot about it later.
When Xu Huiniang brought it up, she remembered it again.
Yu Rujia: "After Guojing finishes washing that pile of meat, I'll have him come with me to your house to move chestnuts, sixty catties in total."
Xu Huiniang: "Why do you need so much? Can you finish it all?"
Yu Rujia: "I only plan to keep 20 or 30 jin here, and have Guojing take the rest back after the New Year."
Xu Huiniang nodded and said, "Chestnuts are nothing special to us country folk, but they are a rare sight to city people like us. It would be good for him to take some back with him."
“You don’t need to have him come to my house to move things. I’ll have my son Xuejun move them over later. It’s almost Chinese New Year, and the team doesn’t have to work. He’s just sitting around anyway, so moving a few things won’t be a problem for him.”
If they don't move here to Yu Rujia, they'll have to move to town tomorrow, so moving to Yu Rujia is definitely closer.
Yu Rujia bought 60 jin (30 kg), and her family had 20-30 jin (10-15 kg) left, which was just enough for their own consumption.
They were chatting on one side, while the children were also eating delicious cookies and chattering away. As they talked, the topic turned to Li Cuiniang.
Duofu: "Brother Hua, you know so much about what's going on in the brigade, do you know who that old bad guy is?"
While buying meat, many people were talking about Yu Rujia. Since Duofu didn't know them and most of them didn't mention their names, only Huang Guihua left some information when she mentioned Li Cuiniang. Duofu then thought of asking Hua Zi who this person was.
Hua Zi scratched his head in confusion and asked, "Old bad guy? Which old bad guy?"
Duofu: "She seems to be very afraid of Jingdong's wife. Whenever Aunt Guihua mentions her, that old bad woman runs away in fright."
Hua Zi thought carefully for a moment and said, "Was it an old woman with particularly scary eyes?"
Duofu thought about Li Cuiniang's face and realized it was indeed very annoying, so he nodded.
Hua Zi: "I know, she is Dedi's grandma. I've seen her beat Dedi until she cried loudly and not give her any food. She's really annoying."
The brigade is so small, and the kids run around all day. Their intelligence-gathering ability is only slightly inferior to that of the "Grandma Group," one of the world's top five intelligence organizations.
Before Lü Fangfang left Huang Dawei's house with her daughters, her daughters were often abused. Dedi, who was a year or two older than Hua Zi, was much smaller than him.
At that time, he didn't want to call Dedi "sister" because she was small, but after being lectured by Xu Huiniang, he started calling her "sister" anyway.
Later, I heard from others that the reason Dedi was so small was because her grandmother was a bad person and wouldn't give her food.
In addition, Li Cuiniang was a notorious shrew in the village. She would glare at passersby with her triangular eyes and curse them all day long. Even dogs would get scolded if they passed by. This situation only improved after she went to the police station.
After being scolded for several years, Hua Zi remembered this person in his young heart.
As for Jingdong's wife, she wanted to find a wife for Da Niu. At that time, Li Cuiniang had not yet been arrested by the police station. Without any scruples, she did not want to spend money to help Huang Da Niu get married, and the two often quarreled.
Li Cuiniang often talked about how great Jingdong's wife was, and he remembered it because she said it so often.
Doro's little ears twitched: "If she doesn't give us food, we'll go hungry. She's so mean."
Duo Shou: "She also said that her aunt was a bad person." Duo Fu wasn't the only one who held a grudge; Duo Shou, who combined the intelligence of both brothers, also remembered what happened when the meat was divided.
Hua Zi affirmed, "Yes, she's bad. Her whole family is bad; there isn't a single good person in them."
The rest of Huang Dawei's family turned a blind eye to what had happened to Lü Fangfang and her daughter. Outsiders said that none of them were good people, and Hua Zi came to this conclusion.
Xu Huiniang eventually had Huang Xuejun bring over seventy catties of chestnuts, and only charged him for sixty catties. At that time, Yu Rujia had almost finished braising the offal that Gao Guojing had washed, so she gave him a large bowl of pig lungs.
Huang Xuejun originally didn't want to accept it, but after seeing that it was pig lungs, a cheap type of meat, he didn't refuse too much.
Although the pig lung in his hand was emitting an enticing aroma, he still drooled as he took it home to enjoy with his family.
Once the delicious, mellow pork lung, without a trace of any unpleasant odor, touched my lips, I couldn't stop eating. The whole plate of pork lung was gone in the blink of an eye.
Xu Huiniang felt so sorry for him that she wanted to hit someone: "This is the first time I've ever known that pig lungs can be made so delicious. How much did Yu Zhiqing use? Such delicious food wasted by you like cows chewing grass. It's such a waste."
She completely forgot that she was among those who had just grabbed a share of the pig lungs.
Normally, his family would divide a plate of meat like this into several days, eating only two or three slices at each meal to satisfy their cravings. This was the first time they had ever eaten so lavishly.
Hua Zi smacked his lips, savoring the delicious taste lingering in his mouth: "Mom, I want more."
Xu Huiniang said irritably, "How can you eat such good things every day? You're just dreaming."
Hua Zi: "Mom, let's go to the market tomorrow and buy some pig lungs to cook. They're so delicious."
Xu Huiniang: "Why buy it? There are so many ingredients added to this. Your mother doesn't have the skill to make pig lungs taste this good."
While Xu Huiniang's family had already eaten dinner and were savoring the deliciousness of braised pig lungs, the Yu family, whose senses had been dominated by the overpowering aroma for half the day, finally got to taste the deliciousness of braised offal.
While eating, Gao Guojing sighed, "I knew Sister Rujia knew how to eat. Any ingredient in your hands will become an unprecedented delicacy."
Even with his mouth stuffed, Duofu's determination to complain remained undiminished: "Those people also said that Auntie is a spendthrift."
Gao Shujing stopped using his chopsticks: "Who said that?"
Duofu: "I don't know some of the people, but I remembered one of them. Brother Huazi said she was Dedi's grandmother, a very, very bad person who often beat Dedi and didn't give her food."
"After she mentioned her aunt, Aunt Guihua said she would tell Jingdong's wife, Uncle, who is Jingdong's wife? I think that old bad guy seems to be very afraid of Jingdong's wife."
Gao Shujing's eyebrows twitched, knowing that Li Cuiniang was among those who spoke ill of Yu Rujia, and that their electricity had not yet been connected.
It seems that the lesson given to Li Cuiniang before did not teach her much of a lesson. In that case, the matter that Captain Huang mentioned earlier can be put on hold for a while.
He has been providing electricity to other brigades for the past few months. If he said he didn't have time to provide electricity to Li Cuiniang and others, no one could criticize him.
Since they enjoy talking badly about others so much, let them endure the gossip for a few more months.
