Ye Weiwei looked at the dark circles under Zhao Mingzhe's eyes and sneered inwardly.
She doesn't even need to lift a finger; these people are good enough to bring about their own demise.
Time flowed by like this until the Little New Year.
Every year on the day before the Lunar New Year, the village would slaughter a pig and distribute the meat.
This pig is a large black pig raised in the village.
This year, the village raised six large black pigs; three were handed over to the authorities, and three others were left over.
The black pigs raised in this village are all relatively small. They don't grow to a size of more than 100 jin (50 kg) with the pig feed, additives, and nutritional powders used in later generations. The largest one only weighs a little over 140 jin (70 kg) but less than 150 jin (75 kg).
They're not even as good-looking as the wild boars from the mountains.
However, the meat of this big black pig is much tastier than wild boar meat; it's fragrant and not dry.
The pork was distributed according to work points. Ye Weiwei had few work points, and Huo Xiao had none. So the two of them weren't in a hurry to go, and waited until everyone had almost finished distributing their meat so they could buy some of the leftovers.
Little Star was called out by Little Mountain and Little River early in the morning to go watch the pig slaughter with his friends.
There were only Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao at home.
The two walked slowly into the village. When they passed the old house at the east end of the village, they heard Lu Xiaolan cursing. Ye Weiwei looked up and saw that the person was an acquaintance, Lingdang.
Lu Xiaolan pointed at Lingdang like a mad dog, her fingernails almost poking Lingdang's face.
"Zhao Lingdang, you unlucky thing, I'm warning you, stay away from my Mingzhe brother. If I see you getting close to him again, I'll break your legs! You shameless bitch, you're so desperate for men that you even dare to covet my man, Lu Xiaolan's man."
Lingdang's eyes reddened with anger. "Lu Xiaolan, what right do you have to curse me like that! I was just passing by your house, don't you dare make false accusations!"
She was in a hurry to get to the meat, but when she got there, she didn't notice Zhao Mingzhe coming out of the house and almost bumped into him. As a result, Lu Xiaolan stopped her and insisted that she was deliberately trying to seduce Zhao Mingzhe.
In all honesty, no matter what, Zhao Lingdang would never do such a shameful thing.
Although Zhao Lingdang was a bit older, she was still an unmarried young woman, and being scolded by Lu Xiaolan like that made her feel extremely humiliated.
Luckily, everyone went to the small square to distribute the pork today, so not many people saw it here. Otherwise, what would she have done?
Lu Xiaolan was even angrier when she saw that Zhao Lingdang dared to talk back, so she went up and slapped Zhao Lingdang across the face!
She clearly saw that this woman had ill intentions, yet she still insisted on bumping into her brother Mingzhe. This vile woman dared to use such seductive tricks, thinking she couldn't see through it!
"Zhao Lingdang, you shameless, unwanted slut, jinx! You've already ruined the Zhao family, and now you want to ruin me and Mingzhe too? Let me tell you, you better get the hell out of here, or I'll beat you every time I see you!"
Zhao Lingdang was shocked that Lu Xiaolan was so unreasonable and even hit her. She covered her face and cried, "Lu Xiaolan, you're bullying me!"
Lu Xiaolan looked at Zhao Lingdang arrogantly, "So what if I bully you? Let me tell you, if you want to stay in this village, you'd better behave yourself, or I have plenty of ways to kill you!"
"Clap clap clap!"
Suddenly, applause rang out from the path.
Lu Xiaolan, Zhao Lingdang, and Zhao Mingzhe looked over upon hearing the sound and saw Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao standing at the intersection.
When Lu Xiaolan saw Ye Weiwei, her face darkened even more. She hadn't forgotten how this woman used to chase after her Mingzhe brother every day, trying to curry favor with him!
"Ye Weiwei, what's it to you? Don't be a busybody!"
Ye Weiwei sneered: "Then don't act like a mad dog, biting everyone you see! Do you really think everyone treats Zhao Mingzhe, this gigolo, like a treasure? Zhao Lingdang isn't blind!"
After saying that, she looked at Zhao Lingdang and said, "Lingdang, hurry up, we've been waiting for you for a while."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lingdang quickly walked to Ye Weiwei's side and whispered, "Thank you."
Poverty makes people lose their ambition.
If it weren't for her family's current situation and her fear of being retaliated against by Lu Xiaolan's family, she would never have put up with this humiliation.
Ultimately, it's because her family is currently weak and vulnerable, making them easy targets.
Seeing Ye Weiwei and Zhao Lingdang getting entangled together, Lu Xiaolan gritted her teeth in anger, then looked at Zhao Mingzhe and said, "Brother Mingzhe, why didn't you say a word just now? You wouldn't actually have taken a liking to that Zhao Lingdang, would you?"
Zhao Mingzhe was getting increasingly annoyed by Lu Xiaolan and said irritably, "You alone aren't enough to annoy me!"
Lu Xiaolan, however, took his words as sweet talk and playfully shoved Zhao Mingzhe, saying, "You rascal!"
Zhao Mingzhe was caught off guard by her push and almost fell into the snowdrift by the door. He angrily shook off Lu Xiaolan's hand that was trying to cling to him and turned to go home. "I'm not going. You go by yourself!"
It's shameful enough to go out with this woman!
Lu Xiaolan was not about to let go of this good opportunity to show off, and after much persuasion, she finally managed to coax the person out the door.
When Ye Weiwei and her two companions arrived at the small square, they found that there were still many people.
Many people who had already received their cuts of meat were still there, waiting to buy more.
The meat distributed in this village doesn't require meat coupons; you can buy it by spending a little more money. Some people are thinking of buying more for their families during the New Year, while others are buying it for their relatives and friends.
As soon as Ye Weiwei arrived at the small square, many people came over to greet her, including aunts, grandmas, young women, and wives, all with smiles and kind words.
Seeing Ye Weiwei surrounded by people like a star, some people from other villages who didn't know the situation couldn't help but ask about Ye Weiwei out of curiosity.
Then the villagers gave me a lecture on the subject.
Upon hearing that those beasts like Yang Hongli were brought down by Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao, everyone was filled with admiration.
When Lu Xiaolan and Zhao Mingzhe arrived, they saw a large group of people surrounding Ye Weiwei. She and Zhao Mingzhe deliberately showed off by appearing in new clothes, but no one paid them much attention.
What's even worse is that some people, even though they clearly see them, immediately turn away and talk to others, pretending they didn't see them.
Lu Xiaolan was furious!
Why does that vixen Ye Weiwei always steal her thunder?!
Because Lu Xiaolan arrived the latest, she had to be placed last in line.
The thought of having to stand behind Ye Weiwei made Lu Xiaolan unwilling. She glanced at Zhao Lingdang in front of Ye Weiwei, her eyes darting around, and walked over to Zhao Lingdang, saying, "Let's switch, you go to the back!"
Before Zhao Lingdang could speak, Ye Weiwei coldly declared, "No trade!"
Lu Xiaolan glared angrily at Ye Weiwei: "I was talking to Zhao Lingdang, Ye Weiwei, mind your own business!"
After saying that, she pushed Zhao Lingdang away without caring whether Zhao Lingdang wanted to or not.
