Chapter 105 The whole village smells of meat
After the beating was finally over, Zhou Cuihua was beaten to the ground and could only cry, but none of the onlookers sympathized with her.
We're all from the same village, so everyone knows exactly what this person's personality is like and what he's done.
Zhou Cuihua is a shameless person who loves to take advantage of small things. Most of the families in the village have been cheated and taken advantage of by her, either openly or secretly.
Now that Zhao Zhilan had whipped them, she had also helped everyone vent their anger. If it weren't for the face of their fellow villagers, they would have wanted to wait for Zhao Zhilan to finish beating them so that they could all clap and cheer.
"Okay, let's call it a day. Let's go home, remove the pig hair, and divide the pork!" Zhao Zhilan threw away the whip, clapped her hands, and called her three sons and eldest daughter-in-law Wang Cailian to go home together.
Baoya and the other children were taken away by Yun Chenglu after watching for a while. After all, they were still children and just wanted to watch the fun for fun. Their grandmother was so powerful, so she shouldn't leave any more shadows on the children.
When Zhao Zhilan and the others came back with whips, He Chunxiu and Li Rongyue were worried about the wild boars. How should they deal with so many big pigs?
The children were very curious and poked the pig's butt and pulled its ears.
Seeing Zhao Zhilan and the others return, He Chunxiu and Li Rongyue hurried over to greet them: "Mom, you're back. How's everything going?"
Without waiting for Zhao Zhilan to speak, Wang Cailian proudly held her head high and gave a thumbs up.
"With our mother taking action, there is nothing that cannot be resolved!"
As he spoke, he pulled Li Rongyue and He Chunxiu over and told them how Zhou Cuihua was beaten.
Zhao Zhilan shook her head helplessly and asked her three sons to come and deal with the wild boar.
However, four wild boars were too many, and it would take three grown men several days to handle them. If they were not kept for too long, they would become stale.
So she asked Sanlang to go out and find some strong men in the village to help, so that they could get more pork when distributing it.
Soon, Yun Sanlang brought back four or five people, all of whom were honest and hardworking men in the village.
Hunter Yang and Qian Dacai also came to help. Hunter Yang was not thinking about the pork, but he knew that these four wild boars were not easy to deal with, so he came to help.
However, what surprised Zhao Zhilan was that Wu Ergou also came.
It was already November, and Wu Ergou was wearing a dull grey cotton jacket with his sleeves rolled up high. He didn't feel comfortable going in, so he just stood at the front door, looking out into the yard.
Zhao Zhilan caught sight of him and, fearing that he might have some bad intentions, came over quickly.
"Wu Ergou, what's the matter?"
"Auntie, your family is looking for someone to help catch a wild boar. Can I come?" Wu Ergou said, smiling at Zhao Zhilan.
He is a natural ruffian. He fights, swears, robs people and steals money. Even his smile reveals his evil side.
However, no matter how many sneaky things he did, he would always go outside, to the neighboring villages or towns to fool around.
As for the villagers of Feishui Village, he would not take action unless someone provoked him.
So the villagers didn't have any feelings towards him. The one who had the most headache was Liu Lizheng. If he lost someone, he had to go to the county government office to pick up the person, or go to the neighboring village to apologize.
Hearing what he said, Zhao Zhilan frowned.
She didn't really want to get involved with this kind of person, but Wu Ergou had spoken for them before, so it would be a bit unreasonable to reject him now.
"I just want to help you with some work and get some pork to eat." Wu Ergou saw her hesitation and said, "I won't cause any trouble, don't worry, old lady."
"Okay then." Zhao Zhilan agreed.
Although Wu Ergou is a bit of a gangster, he is not the kind of person who goes back on his word and has no shame like Zhou Cuihua.
So Wu Ergou also entered the yard and started working with several big men in the yard.
They removed the pig hair, gutted and cleaned each wild boar, then weighed and cut the pigs into pieces. A large group of people were busy until dark before they finished.
There were four wild boars, two of the big ones weighed about 400 pounds, and the other two smaller ones weighed more than 300 pounds. Excluding the offal and internal organs, the total weight, including bones and meat, was more than 1,200 pounds.
Zhao Zhilan calculated that there were a total of 142 households in Feishui Village. Excluding the six households that went up the mountain without permission and refused to repent, there were a total of 136 households.
She thought that four pounds would be enough for each family, which would mean more than 540 pounds of meat would be given away.
In addition, I have to give more to the people who came to help today. It’s almost 600 kilograms. I can give half to them and keep half for myself, which is pretty good.
After everything was calculated, Zhao Zhilan asked them to help divide the meat into portions and weigh them out. Then she asked Dalang to run and notify everyone to come and get the meat.
It was completely dark, and long queues formed in front and back doors of the Yun family. Everyone who came to get the meat was smiling happily, as if it was Chinese New Year.
After all, pork is free, and four pounds of meat costs more than a hundred copper coins.
Since the Yun family was so generous, they accepted the meat and would naturally remember the Yun family's kindness in the future.
Baoya, Yun Chenglu, Yunhua and Yunyue also followed the adults around and helped distribute meat to the villagers.
Those who came to get the meat would always poke Baoya's round baby face and praise her.
"This Baoya is really a lucky doll," Wang Yuqin, who came to get the meat, stretched out her hand to pinch Baoya's little bun, and smiled so hard that her eyes disappeared.
"Auntie, you are so lucky! I've noticed that ever since Baoya came to your house, things have been getting better and better every day!"
"Hey, let's just live our own little lives, be down-to-earth, and work hard. That's better than anything else."
"Yes, yes, you are busy, I'm going home to stew the meat!" Wang Yuqin took her own four pounds of wild boar meat and left happily.
Zhao Zhilan sent one away and another came. Sun Manxiang came over and also wanted to poke Baoya's soft little face and praise her a few words.
Seeing that the little bun on Baoya's head was a little loose and the fluffy headband was dirty, she became unhappy.
"Chenglu, take your sister inside to play! There are more than a dozen houses left. Your second and third aunts are stewing meat. We'll have dinner after they're distributed!"
"Hey!" Yun Chenglu responded, put his hands under Baoya's armpits and carried her away.
The person who was about to reach out to touch Baoya's cheek touched nothing, smiled awkwardly, and walked away with the meat.
Another half an hour passed before everything was distributed. Zhao Zhilan and Wang Cailian stretched their arms, cleaned the table at the door, and took the bowls and chopsticks to prepare for dinner. Coincidentally, the three brothers of the Yun family who were distributing meat at the front door also came in carrying a table.
On the small table in the main room, there was a large pot of braised pork, white radish and pork ribs soup, as well as white flour buns and millet porridge.
The family was eating so much that their mouths were drooling and they had no time to talk.
At this time, the aroma of stewed meat wafted from almost every household in Feishui Village.
Braised pork, cabbage stewed with meat, stewed pork ribs, fried pork tenderloin, potato stewed with meat, all kinds of flavors!
The six households that did not receive any meat all closed their doors and windows to keep the aroma out.
But how could that be possible? The fragrance was so pervasive that they could smell it even if they covered their heads and lay in bed!
