"alright!"
"Xiaoxue, let's go!"
Seeing that the beating had been stopped, Mei Niang stopped Lin Xue, who still wanted to continue beating people, and then left the restaurant with her group of girlfriends.
"What the hell? Do they really think our Mei Niang can't live without him?"
The girl in yellow angrily kicked at the pebbles on the roadside as she walked. No wonder Xiao Hua, being so straightforward, said such things.
It seems that they misunderstood Ge Xiaohua when they were at the big banyan tree.
"oops!"
"I didn't even get a proper meal because of this!"
Lin Xue's eyes searched back and forth among the surrounding shops, hoping to find one that caught her eye.
"Everyone has helped me today, why don't you come to my house for a meal!"
"The food at the restaurant is too expensive. Let's buy some ingredients and cook at home!"
Because of my own actions, none of my sisters had enough to eat.
There's still half a dish left on the table, which is a real shame.
"Let's go straight to the market then. Whoever knows the area well can lead the way!"
He and his companions followed behind the group of young girls, watching them swagger through the streets, completely oblivious to the fact that they were in a horror world.
It turns out that as long as they don't see themselves as different, the natives of this terrifying world won't notice their abnormality.
"I know, my uncle's family sells meat in town!"
Upon hearing that someone was needed to lead the way, Ge Xiaohua immediately ran ahead.
After wandering around for a while, the group arrived at a market street.
At this time, there are no more vegetable vendors left, only a few butcher shops are still open.
Lin Xue searched around and finally stopped at a local pork shop.
"Boss, I'll take this big pork leg, and could you also give me some big pork bones?"
Lin Xue stood in front of the stall and carefully examined the pork on display before finally choosing a hind leg.
All the other meat was cut into small pieces, but this big pork leg was placed whole on the cutting board.
"Sure, there are plenty of bones. Take as many as you want!"
The pork stall owner was very enthusiastic and dismembered the pig's hind leg.
Then they were given more than a dozen pork bones, with a lot of meat still attached, which surprised Lin Xue.
"Guys, grab the pork and let's go!"
The group arrived empty-handed, so the meat was tied up with hemp rope, and each person carried a small amount with them.
"Xiaohua, are there any places nearby that sell grain and oil?"
The sight of these odds and ends being carried around was so eye-catching that Lin Xue pulled Ge Xiaohua back, who was walking forward with great interest.
"Yes, it's just around the corner!"
So the group went to the intersection again and bought a basket.
He put all the pork he had bought earlier into the container, along with some seasonings, before heading towards Grandpa Wang's oxcart.
After finding Grandpa Wang, the group boarded the oxcart and returned to Meilin Village in a grand procession.
Instead of going back to their own homes, everyone went directly to Mei Niang's house.
"Auntie, don't be too angry. With Mei Niang's looks and character, what kind of man can't she marry?"
"Since the young master of the Fu family did such a shameless thing, it is his loss."
"Fortunately, we discovered the Fu family's bad character before the marriage. If something like this had happened after the wedding, our Mei Niang would have truly suffered!"
When everyone returned home, Mei Niang did not choose to hide it from her family, but instead recounted the process of annulling the engagement.
Old Master Mei squatted under the eaves, smoking a cigarette, looking worried, and didn't say a word for a long time.
Aunt Mei was so angry that she started cursing.
Mei's older brothers grabbed machetes, intending to go to town to settle scores with the Fu family.
Unfortunately, all of these people were stopped by Lin Xue and her group.
"Since the engagement has already ended, there's no need to keep bothering her."
"Just pretend I never knew him!"
"We must never let others look down on the Mei family!"
Mei Niang was also a strong-willed child, and she was the most innocent and pitiful person in this whole affair.
But seeing her family worrying about her and her girlfriends' concerned eyes, Mei Niang felt that this was not an insurmountable obstacle.
Although she lost a fiancé, she gained a lot of friends.
"Since everyone is so sad, why don't we stew some meat first?"
"Whether we're going to settle scores with the Fu family or make plans for the future, we need to fill our stomachs first!"
Seeing their worried expressions, Lin Xue took out the basket they had used to buy meat.
The Mei family members looked at the basket full of meat and subconsciously swallowed.
Although the Mei family was considered well-off in Meilin Village, they couldn't afford to eat meat every day.
They were only slightly better off than other families; they could eat meat about once a month.
It's not the kind of food you eat until you're full; it's just a little bit of minced meat to taste.
Where did this meat come from?
Grandpa Mei looked at the basket of meat and thought, "Whose child is so wasteful? Who buys meat by the basket?"
Besides the whole hind leg meat I bought from the pork stall, there was also some smoked meat I bought from a game store.
It's all rabbit and venison.
I heard that it was hunted by local hunters who went up the mountain themselves.
"Uncle, I bought this meat. Let's stew it together to ward off bad luck!"
"That young master Fu is no good. It's good for us to see through his character sooner rather than later and cut our losses!"
"Instead of worrying about those trivial matters, let's focus on cooking meat. With us girls in the village, if anyone dares to speak ill of Mei Niang, I'll personally lead a group to raze their house to the ground!"
Seeing Lin Xue's confident demeanor, it was clear that the meat must have been bought with money pooled together by her friends, Mei Niang and her friends.
The Mei family didn't really believe that Lin Xue was the one who did it all.
After all, in their minds, Fu Xiaoxue's family was about the same as their own Mei family.
"We can just use a small portion of these; we have plenty of potatoes, carrots, and cabbages at home!"
"Old woman, go kill another chicken!"
"Don't leave today, everyone! Let's eat here!"
Old Man Mei was too embarrassed to actually take advantage of the younger generation, so he instructed his wife to kill a chicken and then prepared to start a fire to cook.
As darkness fell, smoke began to rise from the rooftops of every house.
The entire Meilin Village, including the Fu family's residence, appeared deserted, clearly indicating that the owner was not at home.
"Let him handle it. You take Raize and the others to process this meat, and we'll have a barbecue later!"
"Mei Niang, split these bones in half with an axe and put them in a pot to stew. Then we can drink the soup and eat the marrow."
"Aunt Mei, please don't kill the chicken. There's so much meat we can't finish eating, why kill the chicken?"
"Keep the chickens at home. It's not too late to kill them when Mei Niang finds an even better husband!"
"Ge Xiaohua, come help with the fire. I'll go see what vegetables we have left in the backyard."
These things should have been arranged by Aunt Mei, but the Mei family members were somewhat distracted because of Aunt Mei.
Lin Xue accepted the job of being in charge without hesitation and arranged everyone's affairs clearly and thoroughly.
