“I can’t cut it!” Long Yi frowned as he looked at Huang Yanfen. Why did he feel that Huang Yanfen was a bit annoying? “If you cut it like this, it will all be fat, and no one will want it!” Huang Yanfen took all the good parts, and the bad parts would be left behind. Long Yi had been selling pork for a long time, and he knew very well that this would not work.
"Why not?" Huang Yanfen said, "If you can't sell them, you can just eat them! There are so many of you, right? Just eat whatever's left, it'll be gone in a few days!"
"We're not selling to you!" Bai Nuo said calmly. "Next person who wants to buy meat, come up!"
When Bai Nuo said she wouldn't sell it anymore, Long Yi immediately moved the half of pork in his hand a little away and looked at Chen Qiuling behind Huang Yanfen.
When Chen Qiuling saw Long Yi looking at her, she immediately walked over and said with some joy, "I just want five catties of lean meat!" Lately, she didn't know if it was because she was in her late pregnancy or what, but she had been craving pork.
Chen Qiuling originally didn't want to come, but when she heard that Bai Nuo was selling pork at the entrance of the village, her mouth watered. After thinking it over, she decided to come anyway, regardless of her pride.
"Don't worry, I'll pay, and I won't haggle!" Chen Qiuling was still afraid that Bai Nuo wouldn't sell to her, after all, she and Bai Nuo had a deep conflict.
I was also a little embarrassed.
Bai Nuo was taken aback for a moment when she heard this, then nodded and said to Long Yi, "Cut five catties of lean meat!"
Just as Long Yi was about to cut off the lean meat, Chen Qiuling watched eagerly, waiting to get the meat, pay, and then go home to cook a delicious meal. Suddenly, Huang Yanfen grabbed Chen Qiuling's shoulder, yanked her, and angrily demanded, "No way! Why won't you sell it to me? Am I not going to pay you? How can you be like this? I was here first, why should I get to buy it before you?"
Perhaps Chen Qiuling lost her balance, or perhaps her weight made things difficult. With Huang Yanfen's shove, Chen Qiuling took two steps back, lost her balance, and fell flat on her backside.
"Ouch!" Huang Yanfen exclaimed in surprise, looking at Chen Qiuling in disbelief. She said, "What's wrong with you? If you're heavy, stand up straight and be careful. Why are you arguing? I'll give you the meat, I don't want it anymore, okay?" With that, she ran away quickly.
"Ouch..." Chen Qiuling tried to grab Huang Yanfen, but Huang Yanfen was a healthy person, and Chen Qiuling was a pregnant woman who had fallen to the ground. How could she grab her? She only touched the hem of Huang Yanfen's clothes and let Huang Yanfen go!
Bai Nuo and the others watched as they made a scene. The people behind Chen Qiuling also stopped queuing to buy meat. Seeing Chen Qiuling collapse, they all gathered around her and asked, "Bai Dalin's wife, how are you?"
Despite asking this question, no one helped Chen Qiuling up.
Chen Qiuling's face turned completely white with pain, and she bit her lip and cried out in pain.
"Make way!" Bai Nuo saw Chen Qiuling's appearance and reached out to push through the crowd. Long Yi wiped his hands and ran in as well.
"Uncle Long, take this pregnant woman back to the bamboo house next door. Is Chen Zhi home?"
Chen Qiuling shook her head and said softly, "He went out and hasn't come back yet!"
Well, he's out fooling around again! But Bai Nuo couldn't help but wonder, Chen Zhi doesn't have that thing anymore, how is he going to fool around?
Chen Qiuling was breathing heavily in pain. Bai Nuo, who was watching from the side, reached out and pushed the crowd aside, saying, "Forget it, you all stop standing around watching. Go do whatever you want!"
The villagers had all come to buy meat, and seeing Bai Nuo leave, they hurriedly asked, "Are you still selling meat? What are we going to do without you? You can't keep us waiting for nothing, can you?"
Bai Nuo said calmly, "What are you waiting for? I still have someone here guarding the place. Just tell him how much you want!"
So everyone gathered around Long Er. Long Yi carried Chen Qiuling and quickly walked back home. They arrived at his house in no time. When Chen Qiuling and the others saw Long Yi carrying a woman, they quickly ran out.
"What's going on?" Jiang Sanniang grabbed Bai Nuo. "Isn't this your stepmother? What happened?"
"She was pushed!" Bai Nuo said quickly. "Uncle Long, please carry her to her house first. Third Sister, could you please take a look at her? Lu Ying, go find a doctor!"
She didn't want to get involved in this matter, but she had no choice but to, so she had to tell her grandmother.
Seeing Bai Nuo's behavior, Jiang San Niang and Lu Ying understood what was going on. They realized that trouble had come their way and Bai Nuo was trying to get rid of it. So, those whose names had been called didn't dare to linger and went about their business.
When Bai Nuo arrived at the door of Grandma's room, he pushed the door open and went inside. He saw that Aunt Liu was massaging Grandma's feet.
Seeing her come in, the two men were quite surprised and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you all flustered and sweating?"
"Young lady, weren't you slaughtering a pig? Why are you back? Did you sell out of pork?"
Bai Nuo shook her head, took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, and her voice sounded calm. She squatted down at the old woman's feet. Aunt Liu stood up and said, "Grandma, something happened over there! That person fell down!"
Sure enough, the old woman immediately became anxious and asked repeatedly, "Where's the child? How is the child? How could the child have fallen down when everything was fine?"
Bai Nuo shook her head. "I don't know. Lu Ying went to fetch a doctor!"
"What are you standing there for?" the old woman scolded Liu Da Niang. "Hurry up and take me out to see what's going on! Oh dear, my good grandson, nothing can happen to him!"
