Chapter 197 Killing pigs?
He Mingcheng curled his lips, put down his chopsticks and said, "You don't know, Zhang Wei is also a bit problematic."
"Forget it. If we talk too much, it will make us sound like our wives are gossiping."
Chen Yi, who was still not satisfied: …
Well, I just wanted to hear a story, but you said you don't want to tell it anymore? Where's your conscience?
"If you want to say something, just say it completely. Why are you only saying half of it? You're keeping me in suspense." Chen Yi rolled her eyes.
Hearing this, He Mingcheng chuckled and said, "It's nothing, actually. I think Zhang Wei is not very stable, and most importantly, I think Wang Jie is not worthy of him."
"I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart. Zhang Wei's family is a heavy burden. He is an okay person and looks OK. This is a fact."
"But Wang Jie's family conditions are excellent. Not to mention her looks, even if she is divorced, it would be easy for her to find another partner with these conditions."
After saying so much, I can basically understand it.
It’s simply that Zhang Wei feels that he is very capable and good-looking, so he has a strong sense of self-esteem.
For ordinary people, it is normal to have self-esteem. Who doesn’t have self-esteem?
But it’s different if you choose Wang Jie. She doesn’t care about the other person’s family and is willing to help.
The condition is to tolerate Wang Jie's bad temper. Apart from her temper, she has no objection to Zhang Wei helping out at home every month.
To put it more clearly, Zhang Wei is just a freeloader.
He wants to live off his wife and thinks he can afford it, and that he eats it to give you face.
Chen Yi thought that if this person didn't want to agree from the beginning, their family wouldn't force him to get married, right?
But getting married also meant that Zhang Wei agreed, and after getting married he complained all day long.
"Then why did Wang Jie get divorced?" Chen Yi asked.
She didn't know the reason. After all, they didn't interact much, and only He Mingcheng knew it.
Wang Jie knows what kind of person he is. It’s been so long, it’s impossible that she chose to divorce Zhang Wei just because his self-esteem is too strong, right?
"I'm not sure about that." He Mingcheng shook his head and said, "Maybe it's a relationship problem? It's impossible for someone to explain his family affairs to me clearly."
He was too embarrassed to ask, and besides, he didn't want to interfere in the couple's affairs.
If they really get divorced, what if Zhang Wei regrets it? What if he blames him?
He Mingcheng has seen a lot of these trivial matters in the countryside, so there is no need to get involved.
Chen Yi also felt that she shouldn't ask too much, so she was no longer curious.
The next few days were quite relaxing, except that the pig problem had not been resolved.
After thinking about it, she decided to tell He Mingcheng.
Both of them were resting at home that day and talked about the pig.
"What? You got a 200-pound pig?" He Mingcheng looked at her with a look of surprise.
Hearing this, Chen Yi nodded and said, "I bought it from someone. That brigade is relatively poor, so they sold a pig."
She didn't say which brigade, and He Mingcheng didn't ask. After thinking for a while, he said, "Where do you want to kill them? This place won't work either."
The yard at home is quite big, but how could there be no noise when slaughtering a pig?
If they were really reported by the neighbors, their pigs would be confiscated and they would be investigated.
Chen Yi also thought about this matter and expressed his thoughts.
"I've found a place, in the suburbs. I'll find someone else then, and you two can kill him together."
He Mingcheng's face changed when he heard this. "Who should we look for? How can we look for someone else for this matter? But we can't eat this pig even if we kill it!"
That's right. The two of them can only eat two kilograms out of the 200 kilograms. The weather is hot too, so it will go bad after one day.
"It's okay." Chen Yi said, "I plan to make it into bacon and keep it for later consumption. Meat supply has been tight in the past two years. Have you seen any meat for sale recently?"
Now Chuncheng basically supplies pork once at the beginning of the month, and each time it supplies a fat pig. Those who queue up early can buy it, but if you go late there will be no hair left.
Of course, it’s not that a place as big as Chuncheng only supplies one pig, but that each place selling meat only has one.
Smaller shops sell half a pig, while larger shops sell a whole pig.
Basically, half of them are left before the store opens. Who do you think can buy it?
He Mingcheng thought about it and it made sense. He went out to buy vegetables every day these days, but he only bought vegetables, no meat.
Some chickens are also specially supplied and will not be given away unless there is a quota.
Pork on the black market was sold for 90 cents per pound, which was 20 cents higher than in the shops.
You can buy it without a ticket. It’s one dollar and one pound. Isn’t that expensive?
"Okay then, but there's no need to find someone, right? This target is too big, and I can't trust anyone else." He Mingcheng felt that finding someone was too unsafe.
If this gets reported, they're all done for.
Chen Yi smiled and said, "Can you kill him by yourself? Even if you tie him up, it will be very difficult, right?"
"Don't worry, I can trust that man."
Seeing that she said so, He Mingcheng stopped persuading her. If anything went wrong, he would just take the consequences himself.
"I need to find another person. Two people can't do it." He said, and then asked, "When will you kill him? I need to free up some time. I have to go on a business trip again soon."
He hasn't mentioned the business trip yet. He was planning to talk about it in two days.
When Chen Yi heard that he was going on a business trip again, she couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Didn't you change jobs? Why are you going on a business trip again?"
"There's nothing I can do." He Mingcheng looked helpless. "I have to go for this matter. It concerns the leader, so I can't explain it to you in detail."
Seeing this, Chen Yi stopped asking questions. Since it was a work matter, it would be useless for her to ask.
The two men discussed it and decided to go and slaughter the pig the day after tomorrow, and try to go as early as possible, around five in the morning.
Chen Yi continued to work as usual the next day. She couldn't be idle anyway.
The three of us in the office get along pretty well and learn from each other every day.
Liu Yuwei's design drawings were also pretty good. Chen Yi thought they were okay after seeing them. At least they were better than Zhang Zhaodi's and about the same level as Li Qing's.
"Director Chen." Liu Yuwei walked up to her with the design drawing and said, "What do you think of mine? I think it needs some improvement, and I want you to help me take a look."
Chen Yi took the drawing, looked at her, and said, "It's pretty good, and it's well drawn. But this part is a bit stiff, and the lines need to be softer, otherwise it's hard to understand what kind of fabric is needed."
She carefully pointed out the mistake, but found that Liu Yuwei's face looked unhappy.
What's the meaning?
But Liu Yuwei's complexion quickly returned to normal, and she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll change it again!"
Her smile was a little forced and looked awkward.
Although Chen Yi was confused, she didn't say anything. She nodded and returned the drawing to her.
Turning around, Liu Yuwei's face was gloomy, but she lowered her head so no one saw anything.
In fact, she was very satisfied with the design and even thought it was very good. She asked Chen Yi to show her talent.
As for corrections, that’s pure bullshit!
If it weren't for the subscriptions, I would have thought no one read my book.
There is not even a comment! Can you all be so tolerant?
