Chapter 273 Cheng San's Mother-in-Law
The wild boar weighed over a thousand pounds, but I don’t know if it was because it grew in the mountains, but it didn’t have much fat and its meat was very lean.
The Shen family had a stock of wild game hunted by Shengze and Lingyun before, so although they had not eaten fresh meat during this period, they still had plenty of dried salted meat. When Mrs. Wu saw that the wild boar was all firm and lean meat, she was quite happy.
"This meat is good. I'll make something delicious for the children later." Lin said eagerly.
Ma Tingting's mother, Xiao Wang, had just squeezed over and hadn't even started helping when she heard this. "This is all lean meat, and I don't think it'll make much oil. If you only want the lean meat, then give my family some more fat."
Mrs. Wu held up a piece of fat and lean meat and paused, then looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "We don't need any help here."
The hot water was boiled, and the meat was cut into small pieces. Even the pig's offal was washed by Shen Qingqian and Shen Qingning together.
Xiao Wang came just now, obviously wanting to get something for nothing.
"Of course not. The meat hasn't been distributed yet. I'll help you distribute it." Little Wang said with a forced smile.
She couldn't stand the Shen family the most. She didn't know where they got the nerve to do that. They had no relationship with the Cheng brothers, but they always made decisions for them and took all the prey they hunted home.
She hadn't revealed it before because she still had to work for the Shen family at home, but now she didn't have to.
When her daughter marries Cheng San, she will be Cheng San's mother-in-law. Wouldn't the Cheng brothers' things belong to the Ma family?
Today, the Ma family should have been the one to help deal with this big wild boar, but the Shen family took advantage of their proximity to the Cheng family and got there first. Bah! How shameless!
Little Wang didn't reveal a word of these words, but her face showed that she wanted to compete with Wu.
Wu frowned and said, "Cheng San just said that we should help divide the meat."
She didn't have to monopolize the job of dividing the meat, but since Cheng San had asked for it, she couldn't just give it to someone else.
Besides, this little Wang was a little sneaky when she went to the fields, but she didn't go too far, so no one else said anything.
"Oh, isn't your division the same as ours? Our Tingting is also a well-educated lady from a noble family. She is as good at listening, speaking, reading and writing as anyone else. She will definitely not make a mistake." Little Wang said this with a hint of meaning, and her eyes drifted towards Shen Qingqian.
Lin and Liang's faces turned cold. Liang raised his voice towards Shengze and said, "Cheng San, how do we divide the meat?"
Sheng Ze was processing the peeled pig skin with Chen Yong and Shan Mancheng. When he heard Liang's question, he said without turning his head, "Aunt, you guys make the decision. Everyone who comes to help will get one or two pounds."
According to the price of pork in northern Hubei, the fatter ones are 20 wen per catty, and the lean ones are about 17 wen. Each person who helps out gets 2 catties, which is more than 30 wen. Shengze is considered very generous.
Everyone was excited when they heard this and thanked Sheng Ze one after another.
Little Wang was very unhappy and continued to look at Wu.
Without even looking at her, Liang said to Wu, "Sister-in-law, let Qian Jie'er and the others start dividing the meat."
"You! You guys..." Xiao Wang wanted to say something harsh, but then she remembered that her daughter and Cheng San were not settled yet, so she had to swallow it.
But she did not turn around and leave. Instead, she was the first to rush to Shen Qingqian and her sister, waiting to receive the meat.
Shen Qingqian and Shen Qingman had already set up their table and put the meat into two baskets. Each piece of meat was about the same size, all small pieces weighing about one or two pounds.
Seeing that Xiao Wang was the first in line, Shen Qingqian looked at her with a smile and said, "Aunt Ma, no one from your family is here to help today, right?"
