Chapter 170: No One Worth Seeing in the Second House
Since the wild boar was brought back by Chen Jintao and Huo Beichuan, they should have received more. Chen Jintao and Huo Beichuan certainly would not refuse. No one could say anything if they received more. After all, it was indeed the wild boar they brought back. If other people wanted to say something, they would have to consider whether they would be criticized.
For such a heavy wild boar, there is definitely nothing wrong in giving the young couple a reward of ten kilograms each.
Everyone is envious, with so much pork, this year will be even fatter...
But it was useless for them to envy him, as they did not have a man as capable as Huo Beichuan in hunting wild boars. Even if they did, they would not dare to do so.
It goes without saying how dangerous hunting wild boars is. Those who saw Huo Beichuan coming down the mountain are still frightened. If this were their own children, wouldn't they be scared to death?
It was because Huo Beichuan was a well-trained soldier that he was not injured by the wild boar. Who else dares to say that they can escape unscathed from the wild boar? Eating meat is good, but you have to be alive to eat it.
Wang Lanxiu squeezed to the main room at some point, and Chen Jintao turned around and met Wang Lanxiu's eager eyes.
"Grandma, what are you doing?"
Wang Lanxiu's eyes were almost glued to the wild boar meat that Shen Jintao got. This was specially selected good meat. She didn't know how long it had been since she tasted meat. She had to work non-stop every day. She felt that if she didn't have a good meal, she would die.
"Taozi, you have so much meat that you can't eat it all, right? Why don't you give half to grandma? You can divide it again later based on the number of people."
Wang Lanxiu treated everyone in the first house like this, bossing them around as if they owed her something.
"Grandma, I don't like what you said. You will get a share according to the number of people in a while. Besides, we have already separated. It is clearly stated that my grandfather lives with us and you live with my second uncle's family. What's wrong? It can't be that my second uncle and aunt don't give you meat to eat, right? If that's the case, you must speak out. Everyone will help you judge!"
Chen Jintao had no intention of being soft-hearted. People like her grandmother were easily overbearing. If she gave the meat today as she wished, she would keep asking for more in the future.
She is not short of this little meat. To put it bluntly, she actually dislikes wild boar meat because it has a strong smell. If it were a small wild boar, it would be okay. The meat of this large wild boar is very tough and even if it is handled very well, it is not very delicious.
But just because I don’t like to eat it doesn’t mean that other people in the family don’t like it, and I can’t give it to Wang Lanxiu. Even if I give it to Wang Lanxiu, she may not be able to eat it.
She knew very well who Shen Jianguo and Xie Lanzhi were.
Wang Lanxiu's face suddenly darkened. "Why? I'm your grandma asking you for a bite of meat, and you have so many words for me?"
"Don't bring yourself to talk about your uncle and aunt, they are very nice to me!"
Wang Lanxiu felt a little guilty when she said this. What was there to say? If she wasn't still of some use to them, they would have stopped giving her food, let alone meat. It would have been good enough if they didn't kick her out of the house. But Wang Lanxiu would never say this in front of outsiders. She had to protect her own child.
But the fact that Chen Jidong was admitted to university was still a big blow to the old lady. The old Taoist priest told her that the second son's family were all talented and would definitely be successful in the future. But now it seems that the eldest son's family is much better than the second son's family. Looking at the second son's side, there is not a single one who is acceptable.
Shen Jianmin is the team leader. Shen Jianguo doesn't even know how to work and earn work points. Xu Xuemei's business is booming. Xie Lanzhi is crazy and doesn't know what day it is. All she does all day is yelling that everyone in the Shen family is a bad person and has harmed her daughter.
Shen Jintao married a military officer and was able to make it to the newspapers and work as a teacher with her own abilities, earning more money than the officer Huo Beichuan. However, Shen Chunmiao is now being reformed on a farm, and it is even a question whether she can get out of this life alive.
Shen Jidong was admitted to the best university in the country. I heard that graduates from that university will be assigned the best jobs, but Shen Chuntao is still angry at home every day because he has not found a wife...
Not to mention Chen Chunwang, who is still a child, but you can tell that he doesn't have a very good temper. Sometimes he beats and scolds his grandmother, which is really heartbreaking.
But Chen Chunwang is Wang Lanxiu's last hope. She still feels that the previous ones are useless and Chen Chunwang must be the only true dragon.
"Grandma, I didn't say anything, but if I really gave you the meat, how would others see your uncle and aunt? You obviously live with your uncle, and your family also got some meat, but you, an old lady, still have to ask me, your granddaughter, for meat. Doesn't that mean your uncle doesn't treat you well?"
"I am also thinking about my second uncle's reputation. Don't judge him by your own standards."
Wang Lanxiu didn't understand what the villain was, but she understood that Chen Jintao would not give her meat.
"You just don't want to give me meat. You just can't stand the good relationship between me and your second uncle's family. You deserve to be struck by lightning for being so unfilial!"
Huo Beichuan was immediately annoyed when he heard this. He took a step forward and protected his wife behind him. "Grandma, what you said is too much. Since you said we are unwilling to give you meat, can I ask not to share the prey I caught with your family? I didn't even ask for this because of my wife's face."
Wang Lanxiu was still quite afraid of her grandson-in-law, mainly because she was afraid of the military uniform he was wearing.
"Nonsense! The wild boars on the mountain are collective property. Why don't you give us a share?"
"I got the wild boar. What can you do if I really don't want to give it to you? Didn't we say it's a collective thing? At worst, I can throw the wild boar into the mountains. Anyone who has the ability can pick it up. Don't blame me if you encounter any wolves or tigers."
It was very difficult for Huo Beichuan to be so rude to others, mainly because Wang Lanxiu's words that Shen Jintao should be struck by lightning made her angry.
Wang Lanxiu opened her mouth and was about to say something, but she saw that everyone around her was looking at her unfriendlyly.
Isn’t that great? If Huo Beichuan really threw the wild boar back, what could they do?
Go to the mountains to pick them up? They don't have the skills like Huo Beichuan, and they might be eaten by wolves before they even find the wild boar meat. No one knows what's wrong with Wang Lanxiu that she has to provoke Huo Beichuan and Shen Jintao.
