Chapter 46 Perfect Counterattack (Wild Pork)
Xia Juanjuan nodded and said, "I was almost stabbed by the wild boar's fangs at that time. Fortunately, I climbed up a tree and escaped!"
It is better to believe it than not to believe it.
Secretary Zhao immediately gathered several strong male laborers and asked Xia Juanjuan to lead them into the mountains to lift the wild boar.
When Aunt Wu heard this, she immediately came out and said, "Secretary! Let my husband go too! He has a lot of experience in hunting! He will definitely be able to help!"
Although the meat is distributed equally among each household, those who have contributed to carrying the wild boar into the mountains will definitely get a bigger share!
Moreover, this wild boar was caught by Xia Juanjuan in a trap after all, and Aunt Wu had offended Xia Juanjuan. If she didn't fight for it now, what would she do if Xia Juanjuan didn't give her any meat?
Secretary Zhao rolled his eyes at her and said, "Come on! Your man must be over fifty years old, right? He would probably strain his back if he carried five kilograms of food! And you let him go into the mountains to carry a wild boar? Not only did he fail to carry the wild boar back, but you also asked everyone to carry it back!"
All the villagers burst into laughter!
Aunt Wu's husband, Uncle Wu, blushed and immediately pulled Aunt Wu: "What do you know, woman? I told you to stop making a fool of yourself, but you didn't listen! Go home quickly!"
Xia Juanjuan said, "Secretary Zhao, I heard that there seem to be wolves in the deep mountains. Uncle Wu has a lot of experience in hunting. Wouldn't it be safer to have him with us?"
Secretary Zhao hesitated for a moment, then thought it made sense, and said, "Okay then."
When Aunt Wu heard that Xia Juanjuan actually let bygones be bygones, spoke for her and let her husband go as well, she was stunned at first, and then tears started streaming down her face!
This new daughter-in-law of the Li family is such a good person!
How could a person with such good character steal a man and elope with him?
That little whore Li Qiaoqiao really killed her!
The people who were going into the mountain decided to go in without delay and asked Xia Juanjuan to lead the way. In less than half an hour, they really returned to the village carrying a huge wild boar!
At this moment, all the villagers knew the news and gathered at the gate of the commune, looking excitedly at the big wild boar placed on the big table.
Secretary Zhao said loudly, "Fourth daughter-in-law of the Li family, you set a trap to catch this wild boar. Although our policy stipulates that it should be divided equally, your share must be a little larger, so I will give you 10 kilograms. The rest will be divided among the thirty households in the village!"
"Wait!" At this time, Liu Lan suddenly came out and said:
"Secretary Zhao! Look, Juanjuan is the daughter-in-law of our Li family. Giving her an extra ten kilograms is too little, isn't it? Shouldn't the other branches of our Li family also get more?
We don’t want much. You can give my second son eight pounds and my third son four pounds. That’s fine too! Otherwise, who will take the initiative to hand in the game they hunted from now on? Don’t you agree?”
After Liu Lan finished speaking, she gave Xia Juanjuan a cold look, almost furious.
Does this vixen really want to piss her off to death?
If the wild boar she caught was too heavy to bring back, wouldn't she go home and ask Li Qiang Li Jie to secretly go into the mountains to carry it back? She actually handed it over to the commune and asked the whole village to share it equally!
How can you be so stupid!
If their family secretly carried it back and divided it equally among the three rooms, and her mother-in-law took an extra portion, she would be able to get 40 to 50 kilograms in total!
Now, if the whole village divides it equally, they can get more than three kilograms!
She was anxious, so she came out to earn more money for her family!
Otherwise, Xia Juanjuan would take the ten kilograms for herself and would definitely not give any to her mother-in-law!
As soon as Liu Lan said this, Secretary Zhao was a little embarrassed and hadn't spoken yet, but the other villagers were angry!
"Liu Lan, are you okay? Your fourth daughter-in-law has already separated from you and lived separately. It's only natural that she gets an extra ten kilograms! Was this wild boar caught by your second and third sons? Why should you two get an extra share? Just because you both have the surname Li? If that's the case, I'll also change my surname to Li from today! Secretary, please give me a few more kilograms!"
"That's right! You've made a good calculation! I have no objection to the new daughter-in-law getting more. But I don't agree to the other branches of the Li family getting more!"
"I'm used to her! Her daughter-in-law selflessly gave the money and split it equally, but she came out to mess things up! I never realized this old woman is so insidious and selfish!"
Xia Juanjuan didn't expect that before she could even make a move, Liu Lan would actually come out and destroy herself?
Really... I don't even give her a chance to let her go...
Xia Juanjuan waited until public opinion had fermented to a certain extent before she shook her head and said to Secretary Zhao:
"Secretary Zhao, although I caught the wild boar, I have my man's allowance and I am not short of food. Therefore, I don't ask for a bigger share. Just divide it equally with everyone. The big brothers who just went into the mountains to carry the wild boar and Uncle Wu have contributed a lot. I think they should get a bigger share.
However... there is one thing that I cannot help but say! Recently, for some reason, many people in the village have been making up dirty and offensive things about me, and I don't know who spread them!
Secretary Zhao, you said that I am a newly married daughter-in-law who has only been married for a few days and my husband is not at home. If these rumors spread for a long time, they will drive me to death, right?
Let’s not talk about anything else. When I just came back with the little wild boar on my back, someone said that some wild man helped me catch the wild boar! Secretary Zhao, I remember all these people! If I divide the wild boar meat equally among them, I…I will feel so upset! "
As he said this, he deliberately raised his hand to wipe away his tears.
Secretary Zhao frowned: "Is there anything else?"
It turns out that Xia Juanjuan was really wronged!
As soon as these words were spoken, Aunt Wu, Zhang Erni, and the villagers who had just made sarcastic remarks to Xia Juanjuan were all panicked!
Doesn’t this mean that they can’t get a share of the 100-pound meat?
"Li...Li's wife! I...I was just talking nonsense just now. I really didn't mean it. If I dare to make up another bad thing about you in the future, I will be struck by lightning!"
Aunt Wu was grateful to Xia Juanjuan for telling her that her husband had helped her family get a bigger share, so she was eager to express her feelings and swore:
"Daughter-in-law of the Li family! I apologized to you this morning and explained that those words were said by your sister-in-law Li Qiaoqiao. I don't know how a virgin girl can be so vicious that she can make up such dirty words to her own sister-in-law!
I promise I will never say it again!
Moreover, if anyone dares to spread rumors and say bad things about you again, I will sit at their doorstep and scold them for three days and three nights to vent your anger! Humph! Whose shameful deeds don’t I know? If they want to be shameless, I will help them!"
Xia Juanjuan glanced at Aunt Wu. It seemed that what she had just done to help Aunt Wu and get her husband to go into the mountains with her had worked.
As for the rumors about that kind of thing, as a new daughter-in-law, even if she heard others making up stories about her, she couldn't always lose face and curse back or even expose their shortcomings. Besides, there were so many people, she couldn't curse them all!
Therefore, it is very necessary to make good use of people like Aunt Wu who are well-informed, have a hold on the dirty deeds of various families, and are extremely powerful in fighting on the streets to help.
She had just spoken up for Aunt Wu for exactly this reason.
If we can conquer Aunt Wu, and anyone who dares to say something behind her back will be given a drink from her!
Aunt Wu's loud voice made her instantly famous.
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Li Qiaoqiao and Liu Lan!
Because Liu Lan had just stepped forward to ask for wild boar meat, the whole village is now very dissatisfied with her, and naturally they will not be polite to her daughter either!
"No way? Isn't this Li Qiaoqiao the sister-in-law of the new bride? Why is she slandering her new sister-in-law?"
"That's right! And you said that the new bride eloped with a man? Stole a man? Didn't you see that the new bride adopted several children from the old family without saying a word after she got married? If she wanted to steal a man, she wouldn't have done it secretly. She must be crazy to have three little brats in her room watching over her? It's obvious that this is not true!"
"Alas! I didn't realize that Li Qiaoqiao had such a vicious mind! I don't know how her new sister-in-law offended her, allowing her to ruin her reputation like this!"
"Hmph! I don't think that Li Qiaoqiao, this little girl, could have come up with such a vicious trick! Think about it! The fourth son of the Li family used to give all his monthly allowance to Liu Lan, so wouldn't this sister-in-law also benefit from it?
For so many years, he has not worked on the farm to earn work points. Now that Lizhan has married and adopted a child, the allowance must be used to support his wife and child. He probably can’t get any benefit from it, so he got angry and deliberately made up a story to ruin the new wife’s reputation, so as to force her to lose her reputation and divorce Lizhan!”
"Oh! Now that you mention it, does that mean her mother Liu Lan is also involved?"
"If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked! What do you think?"
"How can a virgin girl know so much about this?"
"Li Qiaoqiao still had the nerve to make up lies to smear her sister-in-law! I don't even hesitate to talk about the bad things she did..."
The villagers pointed and talked at Li Qiaoqiao and Liu Lan. After all, Li Qiaoqiao had not married yet, and her face was red with shame. Suddenly, she covered her face and ran away crying!
When Liu Lan saw that the villagers' attacks were suddenly directed at her, her heart skipped a beat and she glared at Xia Juanjuan fiercely.
She realized belatedly that she seemed to have been tricked by Xia Juanjuan!
But she couldn't explain how she was cheated.
Could it be that Xia Juanjuan could have anticipated the wild boar capture?
How could this be possible?
Oh! She should never have asked for more wild boar meat! Wouldn't that be stealing food from the whole village?
She has been smart all her life, how could she be so greedy and careless just now?
Liu Lan couldn't stand staying here and getting scolded any longer, so she used the excuse of chasing her daughter and quickly slipped away in shame.
Xia Juanjuan saw that it was almost done, so she said loudly: "Since Aunt Wu and everyone else said so, then I believe that everyone in our village has been taken advantage of, and I will not pursue it any further! Secretary Zhao, you can decide how to divide the wild boar meat. I have nothing else to say."
Secretary Zhao looked at Xia Juanjuan and couldn't help but admire her secretly in his heart!
Rumors about matters between men and women are the most difficult to deal with. First, they are hard to hear, and second, everyone loves to hear and spread them!
Xia Juanjuan said this matter in public without hiding it. If she was really as disgusting as the rumors said, would she dare to do this? This is called the rumor being refuted.
Moreover, she also killed a big wild boar and shared it equally among the whole village, with each family getting nearly three pounds of meat!
The villagers in this village were given the wild boar that someone had hunted. Do they have the nerve to make up rumors about others behind their backs in the future?
Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?!
Anyone with a bit of righteousness would have stopped it immediately, or at least stopped laughing! Then the rumor wouldn't have spread any further!
What’s even more amazing is that Xia Juanjuan has conquered Aunt Wu, the core figure in spreading gossip in the village!
As for all the dirty laundry that Aunt Wu has in her hands, if anyone is shameless enough to tell it, Aunt Wu can really scold you so hard that you'll regret it so much that you'll burst into tears!
This wave of counterattack was silent and flawless, it was perfect!
