Lu Yan felt uncomfortable after hearing her words.
because……
In the book, whenever Old Mrs. Chen is mentioned, the words are repeated over and over again: Just keep on hanging on, and things will get better.
A young girl, at the tender age of a flower, became a sacrifice for her family.
Old Mrs. Chen brainwashed herself over and over again. She had never had a good meal, never had a good life, and had always worked hard for the family. In the end...
He also ended his life without any warning.
Lu Yan looked at her. It was obvious that these characters were stepping stones prepared by the author for Song Jiao'e to reach a high position.
But now, seeing these living beings, Lu Yan couldn't help but sympathize with them.
She pursed her lips and looked at Old Lady Chen seriously: "Auntie, when you buy some pork, remember to eat more yourself."
After Lu Yan finished speaking, Old Mrs. Chen couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.
She deliberately tried to identify the beginning and said calmly, "Old Five's, I'll be going back first! When you're done selling meat, remember to come to the house at the west end of the village. I live there."
After saying that, Old Lady Chen took her things and left.
Lu Yan looked at the person who had gone away, and then looked at the wild boar meat under his feet.
There is still a lot of meat left, but it's all ribs.
Of course, there was also a piece of pork leg that Lu Yan left for himself.
She and Yu Nian were both abused at home, while the other was struggling for survival at the hands of human traffickers. Now, with wild boar meat right in front of her, why wouldn't she eat some tonic?
The women standing in line behind Old Lady Chen had obviously also noticed the little bit of meat left on Lu Yan.
Several people seemed hesitant.
Wild boar meat doesn't taste good to begin with, and it has a fishy smell. If it weren't for the fact that they hadn't had meat for so long, and Lu Yan's price was so cheap, they wouldn't have come.
At this moment, several women were a little hesitant.
Lu Yan didn't care about their stares, and just calmly stated a fact: "I only have ribs left. There is still some meat on the ribs, but definitely not as much as before. But I'm selling them at a low price anyway, so you should consider it carefully."
Lu Yan still likes to drink pork rib soup, but she doesn’t know if this wild boar pork rib soup will taste good.
Anyway, she was not in a hurry and planned to cook with Gu Linbei for a while before going to Old Lady Chen's house to cook.
"The fifth brother of the Gu family."
Just then, a breathless little guy ran over quickly.
Lu Yan turned around and saw that the half-grown child running over was none other than Er Gouzi. Remembering what he had said behind Gu Linbei earlier, Lu Yan knew that he was here for business.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard Gu Linbei's voice: "Er Gouzi and Grandpa depend on each other for survival. If you don't want to lower the price, wait until you've sold most of them and leave some for him. I'll give you the money on his behalf."
As soon as Gu Linbei finished speaking, Er Gouzi was already standing in front of Lu Yan's stall.
Lu Yan turned her head to look at Gu Linbei with some suspicion.
I always feel that he shouldn't be a person with excessive sympathy.
Gu Linbei met Lu Yan's gaze and knew what she was thinking. He paused for a moment before speaking calmly, "A few years ago, when Grandpa Ergou was still in good health, he saved me from going hunting in the mountains."
Now, Lu Yan understood.
"Thank you for saving my life." Lu Yan glanced at Gu Linbei, then turned to see Ergouzi who was running out of breath.
Er Gouzi quickly rushed in front of them, looking at the pile of ribs left by Lu Yan with longing on his face.
Lu Yan glanced at the women who had hesitated and dared not buy spare ribs before.
Come on, isn’t this a ready-made living advertisement?
Lu Yan narrowed her eyes and immediately divided the ribs into several piles.
Then, he raised his voice and called out, "Come and take a look! Don't miss it if you're passing by! Delicious and nutritious spareribs, great in soup or fried!"
Lu Yan's shout scared Ergouzi so much that he trembled.
The half-grown child looked up at Lu Yan and heard Lu Yan say, "Would you like some spare ribs?"
Er Gouzi stared at Lu Yan's ribs and swallowed his saliva.
He wanted it, and he wanted it badly.
Er Gouzi gritted his teeth and finally asked cautiously, "Sister, can you make these ribs cheaper?"
He only had sixty cents in his hand, which was enough to buy two pounds of pork ribs.
But grandpa is still lying in bed. The doctor said that if grandpa wants to get better quickly, he needs to eat some good supplements.
Otherwise, Ergouzi wouldn't have chased Gu Linbei to buy wild boar meat today.
But he was still a step late...
Thinking of this, Ergouzi's face was full of self-blame. He hated himself for not being brave enough to follow the fifth brother of the Gu family up the mountain when he was looking for people to go up the mountain.
"It can't be cheaper."
Lu Yan said this with an apologetic look on her face.
Upon hearing this, Er Gouzi lowered his head even more timidly and counted the copper coins in his hand.
Lu Yan naturally noticed his actions. She paused slightly and deliberately raised her voice: "You don't have any money with you? Where do you live? I'll just go to your house and ask for it later."
As soon as she said this, Ergouzi looked up suspiciously.
Then, Ergouzi saw Lu Yan winking at him.
Lu Yan didn't mind being generous to the person who saved Gu Linbei's life. After all, she still had two wild boars in her space. The reason she was selling wild boar meat at the village entrance today was simply because she had nothing better to do and was arguing with Old Lady Gu.
Lu Yan never expected to make money from selling game.
"elder sister……"
Before Er Gouzi could say anything, Lu Yan pointed at a pile of ribs and said, "Take this one. It's two pounds. I've already weighed it."
Er Gouzi looked down and saw that it was not two pounds of ribs at all.
That pile of ribs weighed more than four pounds.
Er Gouzi's eyes flushed red as he instantly realized he might have disturbed Lu Yan and Gu Linbei's stall. He stuffed all the copper coins in his hand into Lu Yan's palm and ran out.
"This child."
Lu Yan clutched the copper coin in her hand and subconsciously turned her head to look at Gu Linbei.
For someone like Lu Yan, a life-saving favor is a lifelong gift. So, she hadn't even considered accepting Er Gouzi's money. Unexpectedly, the kid stuffed the money directly into her hand.
"If he gives it to you, just take it."
Gu Linbei sighed helplessly, but didn't know what to say.
Everyone in the village knows that Ergouzi's family is having a hard time.
But Ergou and his uncle are very strong-willed and never accept charity from others, otherwise their life would not be so difficult.
It seems that Ergou is really helpless today.
"Okay." Lu Yan cheerfully shook the copper coins in his hand, his face full of smiles: "Selling spare ribs, a pile of ribs weighing more than five pounds, only a hundred coins."
When Lu Yan shouted, the women who were hesitant before turned their heads again.
Of course, they also saw the piles of ribs that Lu Yan had divided.
Seeing that so many ribs cost only a hundred coins, the women were all tempted.
