Yun Qi killed both pheasants, keeping only one whole chicken for herself to make soup. She asked Yun Duo to send the other chicken, along with the offal from both chickens and blood tofu, to the village chief's house.
"Duo'er, what are you carrying?" Zhang Juhua, the notoriously gossipy woman of Lujia Village, couldn't resist coming around from afar, drawn by the distinctive pungent smell of chicken giblets, and stopped Yun Duo to ask. As she asked, she craned her neck to look at the basket Yun Duo was holding to her chest.
In the original owner's memories, there was a vague impression of this person. It seemed that it was because she said a lot of nonsense in front of the original owner that the original owner couldn't think straight and jumped into the river.
To say so many vulgar and offensive things in front of a young girl like the original owner of this body, this woman is no good either!
Yunduo cautiously protected the basket.
Zhang Juhua seemed oblivious to Yun Duo's movements, craning her neck to peer into the basket: "Oh my, blood tofu? And chicken giblets? What's wrapped in that leaf? It's not chicken, is it?"
"Duo'er, you're living a good life. You just went out to spend time alone with your grandparents, and they were willing to kill a chicken for you to eat? Tsk tsk... You're really living the dream."
"How about that? You're lucky you had your auntie here, right? If I hadn't told you that you shouldn't marry a fool, you wouldn't have gone home and made a scene, and you wouldn't have had your grandparents take you to live separately, would you?"
Yun Duo didn't reply, but just looked at Zhang Juhua warily and said in a low voice, "Move aside, I'm leaving."
Seeing that Yun Duo didn't agree with her, Zhang Juhua secretly scoffed, but she was shameless enough to pretend she hadn't heard Yun Duo's words and continued, "Oh dear, Auntie is a kind person. She helps people without ever asking for thanks. So, you don't need to come and thank Auntie."
"Give this blood tofu to your aunt."
“Recently, my aunt has been feeling very dizzy. I’m afraid she’s suffering from severe anemia. Anyway, there’s not much of this blood tofu you have. If she were to eat it, it would be gone in two bites. So, give it to my aunt to take home and make soup.”
As Zhang Juhua spoke, she reached out to take the earthenware bowl containing blood tofu from the basket that Yun Duo was carrying.
"It's not for you!" Seeing Zhang Juhua's lack of consideration, Yun Duo quickly squatted down and hugged the basket to her chest, whispering, "This is for Auntie at Uncle Village Chief's house."
Yun Duo thought to herself, if shouting that the item was for the village chief still didn't subdue this woman, she would have to have Xiao Jiu take action.
It has to be said that village chief Lu Zhimin is quite influential in this small village. When Zhang Juhua heard that the gifts were for the village chief's family, her face fell, but she withdrew her hand and said sourly, "Aunt Yun knows how to please people. As soon as she separated from her eldest son, she knew how to curry favor with the village chief."
Isn't this implying that he's 'bribing'?
Yun Duo, of course, wouldn't leave such a stain on her reputation in front of others, and immediately said loudly, "That's not how it is! It's because Uncle Village Chief, Brother Haiyang, and Brother Haijun have been helping us repair our house all afternoon. They worked so hard, and we should have treated them to a meal to thank them, but we don't have a pot, and the stove is unusable, so we can't cook. That's why Grandma asked me to take these to Uncle Village Chief's house and ask Auntie Village Chief's house to cook an extra dish, as a way of thanking them for their help!"
"Little brat, you know how to thank the village chief for his help, but you don't know how to thank me, your savior..." Zhang Juhua pouted and said sourly, but in the end she didn't block Yun Duo's way anymore.
