Chapter 28 I Want to Eat Meat Too
Zhao Chunhua looked unhappy: "She has been with me for so long, but you can't even handle someone like Bai Xiaowei? Next time she has evil thoughts, just beat her up and run away. Don't show her any mercy. Remember?"
Xie Lanqin nodded in confusion.
Then Zhao Chunhua turned to Zhang Xiuer and Zhang Daniu and scolded them, "Your eldest brother is pregnant and his brain is not working well. Are you two stupid too? If she really cheats me of my food, you will have to eat dirt!"
The two girls lowered their heads and listened to the lesson. After venting her anger, Zhao Chunhua felt better.
She glanced at the gradually darkening sky, picked up the bacon at home and handed it to Xie Lanqin: "Wash the bacon, it will improve our meal tonight."
Taking the piece of bacon, Xie Lanqin couldn't believe it.
"Mom, this isn't a good idea. Can you save it and eat it slowly?"
Although I also want to eat it, this thing is a rare commodity now. Once you eat it, it’s gone. Who knows when I can eat it next time?
Zhao Chunhua was a little impatient: "If I tell you to wash, go quickly, or you won't be able to eat today."
Upon hearing this, Xie Lanqin hurried to wash the bacon.
Zhao Chunhua asked Zhang Tianfu to light a fire and boil water, and cooked a pot of noodle and wild vegetable soup. Then she sliced bacon and fried it until the whole house was filled with fragrance, making several people drool.
Fortunately, this place is far away from the villagers' homes and did not attract much attention.
The second and third rooms nearby were immediately excited when they heard the fragrance and their eyes lit up.
Especially when the second wife smelled the bacon, she was extremely jealous.
After the bacon was fried, Zhao Chunhua took out the remaining thin white flour pancakes, heated them up, cut a hole in them and stuffed the bacon slices in. In this way, several roujiamo were ready.
Afterwards, these delicacies were distributed to everyone...
She handed Xie Lanqin a piece of steamed bun with the most meat on it, "You're pregnant now, so you need to eat more. Don't let yourself and the little one in your belly go hungry."
Xie Lanqin took the thick steamed bun and felt warm in her heart.
But when she mentioned the word "little guy", she couldn't help but think of what Bai Xiaowei had just said.
She looked down at her bulging belly and said, "What if it's not a son?"
Zhao Chunhua didn't hear clearly, so she asked, "What did you just say?"
Xie Lanqin quickly shook her head: "Nothing, nothing."
Zhang Xiuer next to her interrupted: "Sister-in-law is asking what to do if it's not a son!"
Zhao Chunhua looked at Xie Lanqin, a little puzzled: "Lanqin, in our family, boys and girls are the same. If you still have the old idea of favoring boys over girls, then you are not my daughter-in-law."
After hearing her mother-in-law say this, Xie Lanqin finally felt relieved.
But she was afraid of further misunderstanding, so she quickly added: "Mom, I definitely don't have that idea, I'm just not sure what it will look like when it's born."
"It doesn't matter what baby you give birth to. The most important thing is that it's healthy." Zhao Chunhua doesn't care about this at all.
She holds a modern concept - both sons and daughters are good and they are the apple of her eye.
"Okay, eat quickly. After you're full, give Zhuzi a steamed bun and bring his portion of porridge over as well."
Zhang Tianbao's leg was injured and he was lying on the cart, unable to move. Someone had to pass him food.
Xie Lanqin agreed repeatedly and immediately gave the food to Zhang Tianbao after dinner.
The family living on the other side looked at the food here with envy, wishing they could rush over and take it away immediately.
However, thinking of Zhao Chunhua's powerful strength, he finally gave up the idea of robbing.
Zhang Defu and Bai Xiaowei barely managed to hold back their impulse, but Erxi couldn't help it. Seeing that others were eating meat while his family was eating only bland food, he immediately started to protest: "I want to eat meat too! I won't get up if you don't give me meat! I want to eat meat!"
His shouting quickly attracted the attention of people around him.
Zhang Defu was afraid of making a fool of himself, so he said angrily, "You bastard, hurry up and get up! If you make trouble again, I will beat you up!"
Erxi retorted: "Even if I have to be beaten, I want to eat meat!"
Why should the second wife enjoy the food alone? He was not willing to lag behind.
Seeing this, Zhang Defu was at a loss and could only look at Bai Xiaowei for help.
Bai Xiaowei understood what he meant and wanted to ask if she could have a share, but when she turned around and saw the sickle in Zhao Chunhua's hand, she was so scared that she took a step back.
Forget it, forget it...
Just as Erxi was making a fuss and refusing to give in, in order to calm things down, she took out a dried mouse from her pocket.
Although it was just a poor little mouse, it was a rare sight in such a hungry season.
I had to take out things that I usually wouldn't even touch to calm the situation.
After seeing this little thing, Zhang Erxi suddenly calmed down, picked up the mouse and started to gnaw on it, as if he had found some treasure.
Zhang Defu couldn't help but sigh as he watched from the sidelines: "Eat slowly, it's like you've never seen meat in your life..."
After a while, Zhang Erxi had eaten the mouse until only bones were left. He threw away the last piece of bone with satisfaction.
After dinner, several families went to bed one after another.
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
Zhao Chunhua put the herbs she collected during the day into the space and planted them in the herb field.
This time, the villagers were helped to gain another wheat field, but the vibrant vegetable field still had not been opened.
Therefore, Zhao Chunhua guessed that this vegetable field would require a lot of good deeds to be accumulated before it could be unlocked.
But doing good things is not a one-day job, and many times we can only let nature take its course.
Thinking of this, she stopped worrying about it and decided to have a good sleep and make plans tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Zhao Chunhua was awakened by the sound of quarreling before she was fully awake.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the second and third families in the village arguing with the villagers, and the village chief and his family were watching nearby.
"My old man ate the herbs you gave him last night and vomited like a dog. His face turned green! His mouth is still black today. You cruel guys, give my husband back his life!"
"Our child also had diarrhea after taking your medicine and almost died. Now he is lying in the car and can't move! If anything happens to my child, how will you explain it?"
"Village chief, my daughter also took the medicine they gave her and is now critically ill! Village chief, you have to do us justice!"
Those who had received herbs from the second or third wife in the past also joined in complaining.
Faced with the villagers' accusations, the people in the second and third rooms were terrified. No one expected things to turn out like this.
If there are casualties, it will not just be about being driven out of the village, but according to the rules, they will also lose their lives!
Zhang Defu reacted quickly: "This is nonsense! How come we are fine after taking the medicine? It's obvious that something dirty you took caused the problem, but you falsely accused us of giving you the medicine!"
Hearing what he said, several villagers were furious: "Zhang Defu, we have lived in the same village for so long, and you did such a bad thing and you actually said it was our fault!"
"Village chief, people like this should be tied up and burned as sky lanterns!"
