Chapter 144 I think she has bad intentions
Old Chen was also itching to get several pounds of meat, and he just wanted to take it home quickly, so that his family would be very happy.
The tractor was shaking, Jiang Yu leaned on He Tingyue and closed her eyes, and fell asleep unknowingly.
She was so tired that she woke up only when she reached her destination.
Jiang Yu rubbed her eyes and yawned with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
"We're here, thank you, Master Chen."
Old Chen waved his hands, "I'm paid, and it's not for nothing. I should thank you for letting my family have a meal of meat."
With He Tingyue and Jiang Ye around, Jiang Yu didn't need to do anything with the meat.
Walking into the big courtyard and looking at the red wedding characters posted, she suddenly remembered that today was a good day for both families.
Let's not talk about Duan Yuzhen's banquet. Why is Zeng Chang and Jiang Li's wedding so quiet?
Hearing the noise, someone finally came out. It was Xu Lihua.
She was holding back something to say, but when she saw the wild boar meat carried by He Tingyue and Jiang Ye, she immediately forgot what she was going to say.
She almost dropped her jaw in shock and shouted, "Oh my God, where did all this meat come from?"
Jiang Yu didn't answer her question, but asked first, "Aunt Xu, isn't Uncle Zeng getting married today? Why is there no noise?"
If it weren't for the wild boar, she would have wanted to rush back to attend the wedding banquet.
The gift money has been included, it would be a pity not to have a meal.
When it comes to this, Xu Lihua has something to say.
"It's past dinner time, and we haven't seen Lao Zeng and your sister Li come back. When we asked around, we found out that none of the people Lao Zeng brought to pick up the bride have come back! So, we've arranged for people to go out and look for them, and we think they'll be back soon."
Jiang Yu didn't know what to say for a moment. She felt Zeng Chang was unreliable the moment she saw him riding a bicycle.
It's such a long journey, let alone how long it will take, it's good enough if they can get to the city safely.
Xu Lihua finished talking about Zeng Chang in one breath, and her eyes fell on the wild boar again, until He Tingyue and Jiang Ye entered the south room.
"Jiang Yu, where did you get this wild boar?"
Jiang Yu smiled and looked obedient. "He Tingyue hunted it in the countryside. We killed it at the home of a fellow villager and brought back some for ourselves to eat. The rest were exchanged."
Xu Lihua felt sour in her heart. Why was Jiang Yu's family so lucky that they could always bring back meat every time they went to the countryside.
"I see you have a lot of meat. Can you share some with me?"
Jiang Yu refused with a smile: "Aunt Xu, it looks like a lot, but there won't be much left after I make bacon. Several children in my family rely on this bacon to survive the winter."
Xu Lihua said with a sour tone: "It's good for ordinary people to eat meat once or twice a month. How can you rely on this meat to survive the winter?"
Eating meat every day, not afraid of being exhausted.
She was very unhappy and turned away.
Glancing at Lin Hongxia, she said, "Old Lin, your Jiang Ting has also gone back to the countryside, but why didn't I see her bring back two pounds of pork? Last time there was fish, this time there was wild boar, and each time there was no share for your Jiang Ting."
Jiang Ting's face turned pale. She didn't even know that He Tingyue had also gone to Nanhe Village, so she naturally didn't know where the wild boar came from.
Before she could think of what to say, she heard Lin Hongxia say unhappily, "You go, and let your sister give us two pounds of this meat."
Jiang Ting didn't want to go, but she couldn't stand Lin Hongxia's strong dominance as a mother-in-law, so she had to bite the bullet and go.
"Big sister, can you give me two pounds of meat?"
Jiang Yu looked at a big pig leg that she had kept for herself and said, "It's only leg meat, at most two pounds, 60 cents a pound, do you want it?"
Jiang Ting turned around and looked at Lin Hongxia, who quickly shouted, "Yes! I'll take the money now!"
Such a good opportunity, how could she not want it.
Xu Lihua was dissatisfied: "Jiang Yu, what do you mean, why don't you give it to me when I ask for it?"
Jiang Yu cut two pounds of meat for Jiang Ting and gave her an extra pound.
She glanced at Xu Lihua and said in a light voice: "Isn't it thanks to Aunt Xu's reminder that I remember that Jiang Ting and I are sisters? Aunt Xu and I are not related."
Lin Hongxia smiled and handed the money over.
"Jiang Yu is right, our two families are relatives." Jiang
Yu did not respond, but she said it to irritate Xu Lihua, because she did not regard the Fu family as any real relatives.
After sending the two away, she began to deal with the meat.
"These two ribs will be given to my aunt, and the rest will be eaten by our family. We will fry the ribs or steam them tonight!"
The pork belly was more than ten pounds, and she cut five pounds and planned to leave it for Xie Feifei.
Her family was about to have a wedding, and she thought it would be useful.
Marinate the remaining meat and make it all into bacon.
Jiang Yu looked around and fixed his eyes on the fat pork elbow.
"How about putting the ribs aside first, and stewing the pig's trotters and elbows?"
Add some spices and stick a pancake on the edge of the pot. It tastes delicious just thinking about it.
He Tingyue looked at her greedy look and smiled.
"Okay, let's stew it! Save the spare ribs for tomorrow, and eat the pork elbow tonight!"
There are still some leg meat, pork heart, pork kidney, pork belly, etc. left, all of which are saved for another day.
Fortunately, the weather is cool now, and the meat will not go bad overnight.
Jiang Yu felt very satisfied eating meat like this.
Just when they were busy processing the pork, Zeng Chang and his group finally came back.
Although they hadn't seen each other for only half a day, Jiang Yu felt that their stomachs had lost a lot of weight, just like lard that has been squeezed out of the oil, leaving only the residue.
Zeng Chang and his group had pale faces, and their eyes had a dull and exhausted look of extreme exhaustion, and they still looked very hungry.
Not only were their clothes torn, but they also looked like they had been in a fight.
Even Jiang Li, who was following behind, was not in a good mood.
Tong Fang was one of the people who went out to look for them. He was also very tired and his face was not very good.
"Uncle Zeng, do things more reliably next time. You guys are not young anymore. You still want to carry people from Nanhe Village into the city. Isn't this ridiculous?"
As a result, the group was chased by cows on the way and fell into pits one after another.
Later, the relatives of Jiang Li's family became dissatisfied and cursed a few words. Zeng Chang directly brought the people who came to pick up the bride to fight with her family.
The two groups of people went their separate ways. Jiang Li's family members didn't even drink and went back to Nanhe Village directly.
Zeng Chang sat on the steps and bowed to the people who came to pick up the bride.
"Finally, the bride has been brought in. Thank you brothers, I will treat you to a drink another day."
Those people ignored him and left angrily.
Everyone was exhausted and wanted to go home directly, but Zeng Chang insisted that the bride-reception was not over until the new bride came in, and he pulled everyone over.
Sun's mother heard about it from Sun Zailiang and was happy to see the excitement.
She walked out of the house, frowning slightly, and looked at Zeng Chang with concern.
"Old Zeng, are you okay?"
Zeng Chang replied weakly: "I'm fine, don't worry."
Xu Lihua sneered and glared at him.
"You call it okay? Half of your life is almost gone. You can ride a bicycle to pick up your bride. Was it Ruan Xiuyu's suggestion? I think she has bad intentions and wants to ruin your marriage!" As
soon as these words came out, Sun's mother burst into tears immediately, covering her face and sobbing with grievance.
"God is my conscience, I also want Old Zeng to get married in a decent manner, how can I be considered to have bad intentions?"
