Chapter 58 Liu Yeju secretly ate
Jiang Wanwan was amused by her stupidity.
"Second sister-in-law, remember to wipe your mouth clean when you eat secretly." She looked into the pot. Half of the potatoes were untouched. The remaining dozen or so ribs were now only a few scattered pieces. The remaining ones were mostly bones with little meat. The large ribs with fat, meat and tendons disappeared without a trace.
Liu Yeju's fake smile froze on her face. She raised her hand to wipe the soup from the corner of her mouth, but Jiang Wanwan was faster than her and grabbed her hand.
Jiang Wanwan's pretty face seemed to have walked out of a painting, and she smiled: "I'll give you two minutes. If there are ribs, give me ribs. If there are no ribs, give me fat. Give me back everything you've eaten."
I've already eaten it, why should I pay it back?
Liu Yeju stiffened her neck and said, "I didn't eat many pieces. I just tasted them. Which eye of yours saw how much I ate?"
She ate one.
What a shit.
Jiang Wanwan knew she was being stubborn: "It's okay, I don't want to wrongly accuse my second sister-in-law easily, so how about this, my second sister-in-law, go back and burn the kang, do all the housework, and then I'll let Captain Cheng take you back to the army for a thorough interrogation. If you think someone stole the food, just tell us, and let Captain Cheng make the decision for you."
Nowadays, people are afraid of people wearing uniforms, let alone those at the level of a regiment commander.
Liu Yeju panicked instantly, holding back tears, her tone was never softer than before: "Wanwan, forget it, sister-in-law only ate a few pieces, don't let Captain Cheng arrest me... We are real relatives, it's just a few pieces of meat, your family's fourth son earns more, and you are also from the city, why are you arguing with me?"
"We have separated!"
Jiang Wanwan was different from her playful smile. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were very cold and stern: "Sister-in-law, what do you think is the relationship between us? Was it you who mocked me when we got married, or glared at me every day, or bullied me?"
She is no longer the thin-skinned Jiang Wanwan in her previous life who would cry when someone glared at her!
"I'm giving you the good land because of my grandparents. Don't forget, sister-in-law, you're living on the land of our third room. If you want to stay here until your new house is built, give me the meat back!"
The sharp-tongued Liu Yeju was speechless for the first time. Of course, it wasn't her fault, it was Jiang Wanwan who was just too bad. She was so stingy that she would make things difficult for others when she had a little power.
Liu Yeju's face darkened: "Okay, I'll go get the meat!"
Jiang Wanwan let her go: "I bought good ribs, don't fool me with rotten meat."
"What good ribs are there? There's no fat at all!" She was not satisfied at all after eating. The lean meat was stuck in her teeth and there was no oil.
No wonder Jiang Wanwan laughed at her: "Second sister-in-law is a wild boar and can't eat fine bran. Do you understand? City people don't often eat fatty meat. I specially brought ribs without much fat to entertain Captain Cheng. You should quickly get me some ribs or tenderloins without too much fat."
Hearing this, Liu Yeju ran away quickly.
Lean meat is good, give it all to them.
City people really don’t know how to eat. The lean meat has no oil and is like chewing a firewood stick. It’s not tasty at all.
Liu Yeju returned to the second room, and she was in a difficult situation. She had been caught cheating outside to eat something, and now she had to bite the bullet and pay it back. There was only so much meat at home... and she had to eat it on the Little New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, and Lantern Festival...
Return the meat to Jiang Wanwan. What will the second wife eat during the festival?
After Liu Yeju entered the house, she turned left and right, as if she had a sore on her butt and couldn't sit still.
Shen Erzhu was holding Huonuo on the kang. Huonuo was over two years old and looked similar to Guniu, small and thin. She saw Liu Yeju shrinking behind Shen Erzhu in fear, as if Liu Yeju was not her mother but a yaksha ghost in the mountains that specialized in eating children.
Gou Nao was not in the house. Liu Yeju had sent him up the mountain to collect firewood early.
Shen Erzhu was annoyed by her spinning: "What are you spinning about?"
Liu Yeju was frightened by Shen Erzhu. After thinking about it, she still couldn't tell the truth. If she told the truth, her mother-in-law and Erzhu would never forgive her.
She was not fertile and gave birth to two girls. Even after the family was divided, she was unable to give birth to a boy for the second wife to continue the family line.
At this critical moment, they knew that they were stealing and even sacrificed their New Year rations...
Liu Yeju stammered, "I... I just ran into Wanwan in the kitchen. She said that Captain Cheng was here and they didn't have enough meat. She wanted to ask me for a piece. I didn't want to give it to her, but she said that they had already split up the family and we were living in their house for free. We had to give them meat, or they would ask us to move out."
"Erzhu, I didn't dare to argue with her. What do you think I should do?"
Is this what Jiang Wanwan said?
When Shen Erzhu heard this, doubts first arose in his mind.
His sister-in-law doesn't seem like a careful person. She spends money lavishly. Would she ask for things from others behind their backs?
"Did you hear wrongly?"
Liu Yeju denied it flatly: "How could it be! She grabbed my wrist and said, even though she usually spends a lot of money, I have offended her before, she definitely doesn't want me to have an easy time, she said just give me some lean meat, she doesn't want fat meat."
This sounds convincing.
Shen Erzhu pondered for a moment and felt that Liu Yeju didn't need to lie to him: "Forget it, Xingjiang and I both have the surname Shen, and we are a family after all. He has a bright future, and we can benefit from it. Go get him some tenderloin."
Liu Yeju showed a look of joy, but then became embarrassed again: "If my mother asks..."
Shen Erzhu was quite happy: "I'll talk to her later."
"Okay!"
Liu Yeju went to get the meat with a smile on her face, and handed it over briskly: "This is a pound of tenderloin. I'll give it back to you, and we're even now."
She brought the meat so readily and happily that it was beyond Jiang Wanwan's expectation. She took the meat and wondered in her heart whether Liu Yeju had not told the truth when she returned home.
"good."
Jiang Wanwan cut the meat and fried it with chili peppers. She had been cooking dinner at the Shen family for a while. Her cooking skills were average, but she could cook it well.
Besides, the meat and peppers fried together can’t be that bad.
Jiang Wanwan brought a plate of pork ribs and potatoes and a plate of fried pork with chili peppers into the house.
She just said she was going to deliver some food and would be back a little late, so no one thought much of it and thought she was just talking to the old ladies.
The room was heated. Shen Yejun took the wine glass and took a sip, his face flushed: "Captain Cheng, I, Shen Lao San, have nothing but a pair of sympathetic children. My son is excellent, and my daughter-in-law is filial!"
"Look at my daughter-in-law. She even gave us an extra dish! How nice!"
What a good boy.
Shen Xingjiang looked at Jiang Wanwan with appreciation, and held her hand distressedly: "Are you cold? Sit next to me and eat."
He deliberately reserved a seat next to it.
Jiang Wanwan smiled and shook her head: "You guys eat first, I'll be back soon."
She still felt that something was wrong with Liu Yeju's matter.
