Yue Jiuyue never expected that after tricking Dazhuang, who wanted to eat dog meat, a group of young men who were eyeing her dogs' meat would come.
To be honest, Yue Jiuyue is not against eating dog meat, just like she is against eating beef, mutton, pork, and rabbit.
However, even if you eat dog meat, you can't eat the dogs she keeps. They keep dogs to guard the house and protect Dazhuang, not to eat meat.
They said they wanted to eat dog meat, and whether they bought it from villagers' homes or from other villages, it had nothing to do with Yue Jiuyue.
But if they've set their sights on their dogs' meat, then she'll have to show her power. She, Yue Jiuyue, is not just an ordinary countrywoman.
"Tell them, my dog isn't for sale! If they want to eat dog meat, they can go buy it themselves. If they still want my dog, tell them to get lost!"
There were even more outrageous things she hadn't said yet. She wanted to give them another chance to change their ways. If they wouldn't listen to her advice, then if she used force, she could only blame them for being unreasonable.
After all, she was an eighth-rank official, so even if she wanted to do something to those young masters, their families probably wouldn't dare to say anything.
Of course, she didn't dare to go too far. After all, each of those families had a powerful and influential clan behind them. If she really went too far, she would be the one to suffer the consequences.
"Yes, madam!"
The servant boy was just a gofer. He could run from the old house at the foot of the mountain to the courtyard halfway up the mountain. Ordinary maids couldn't run as fast as him, let alone old women or servants.
They ran quickly down the mountain, afraid that if they were too slow, those arrogant young masters would catch their dogs and they wouldn't even have enough money to pay for the dogs' lives.
This is a classic case of "humans are worse off than dogs"!
The servant repeated Yue Jiuyue's words verbatim to the head maid, then stepped aside and stood in a row with the other servants in the courtyard, ready to protect the dogs even if they were beaten, since these people couldn't understand human language.
It's really strange. Everyone says that dog meat is not suitable for formal banquets. These people are clearly noble young masters, so why do they still crave it? And why do they have to crave the old lady's dog? Have they forgotten the old lady's status?
Or was it a deliberate provocation?
They didn't understand any of this. All they could do was listen to the old lady and protect everything in the house, making sure that not even a single blade of grass or tree was destroyed by these people.
The stewardess negotiated with those people, and thankfully, the situation wasn't too bad. After hearing that Yue Jiuyue wouldn't allow it, those people wisely left.
Whether they gave up eating dog meat or went to make a deal with others, that was beyond Yue Jiuyue and the others' knowledge.
Since those people didn't cause any trouble and everything was fine at home, Yue Jiuyue stopped worrying about them and peacefully continued to rest with her eyes closed on her recliner.
Is she a salted fish?
If it weren't for her sons and daughters-in-law all having their own careers and going out to work before dawn every day, she, an old woman, wouldn't have had to handle this matter herself.
Honestly, every time she thinks about her three adopted sons, she can't help but think of her second son, whom she's never met, and wonders if he's still alive...
