Chapter 155 You guys are too heartless
Besides, not long after Jiang Yu returned home, Tieniu came to the door with three ducks.
"Liu Zi went to deliver them to Aunt Zhou's house, so I came over first."
These three ducks were eye-catching, and they were noticed as soon as they entered the house.
Especially Jiang Li, who hurried to the south room.
She didn't dare to go in, so she stood outside the yard and watched, afraid that Heidan would go crazy at her again.
"Jiang Yu, where did you get so many ducks?"
Jiang Yu said in a calm voice, "I asked someone to go to the countryside to exchange them. There are many children in the family, and they are all growing up, so they need nutrition."
Jiang Li pinched her palms, "Your family eats meat every day, aren't you afraid of bad effects?"
"What bad effects can eating meat have? I haven't done anything bad, and I can't eat meat." Jiang Yu didn't care.
She eats her own food, what does it have to do with others.
Jiang Yu asked He Zhengdong to get the hot water kettle from inside, and directed Tieniu to kill ducks.
"Since you are eating, you have to eat your fill. Kill two ducks, and save the duck blood. Stew them together later."
Even Tieniu was surprised to see two ducks eaten at once.
"Sister-in-law, you should kill one. It will be enough."
Jiang Yu glared at her, "I said I invited you to dinner, so you must eat your fill. This duck has to be thanks to you and Liuzi, and my family can still have a chance to enjoy a feast."
Although this was Lai Liuzi's way of repaying He Tingyue's favor, it was still taking someone's things for free, and it would be rude to pick and choose when you invite someone to dinner.
Seeing Jiang Yu's insistence, Tie Niu killed both ducks. There was quite a bit of duck blood, so Jiang Yu steamed them at just the right temperature, making them especially tender.
Not only the duck meat can be eaten, but also the internal organs are kept and put together to make two large plates.
Jiang Li started to crave for the meat before it was even cooked into a dish.
But she didn't dare to go in because of Heidan, so she could only crave it outside the yard.
Not long after, Sun's mother came over.
She also had her eyes on Jiang Yu's ducks, thinking that Jiang Yu had given her persimmon cakes last time, so this time she wanted a few pieces of meat, and considering Zhao Qing's pregnancy, she would definitely agree.
"Jiang Yu, my Zhao Qing is hungry, do you think I can..."
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Of course, Aunt Ruan, the live duck is 90 cents per pound, and I'll eat a little less of the slaughtered duck, one piece per pound, how much do you want?"
The grandson's mother's smile froze on her face, "Why do you want money?"
"What do you mean? I got it in exchange for money. I don't eat it for free, so why do you want to eat it for free?"
Jiang Yu still had a smile on his face, but there was a bit more sarcasm.
Sun's mother said, "Jiang Yu, how can you be so cruel? Zhao Qing is pregnant, you have to give her up, right?"
Jiang Yu thought her words were ridiculous and asked, "Why do you want me to give her up? She is not pregnant with my child, right? You should be considerate of your daughter-in-law, why do you blame me?"
Xu Lihua burst into laughter at these words. Seeing Sun's mother kicking the iron plate, she was so happy.
Even Jiang Li, who was standing by, sneered, "Auntie Ruan, Jiang Yu is right. There are thousands of pregnant women who come here to beg for meat. Jiang Yu can't even sell herself."
Sun's mother said angrily, "You are too heartless!"
Then she ran back to the house.
Jiang Li rolled her eyes, acting like a little girl at her age.
She turned and continued to stare at the meat in Jiang Yu's place. It was really delicious.
Jiang Li swallowed her saliva with a gulp and couldn't help but said shamelessly: "Jiang Yu, you have so much meat that you can't finish it. How about me and Lao Zeng come to your house to have a feast today?"
Jiang Yu glanced at her and said, "Why is there no meat in Sister Li's house?"
Jiang Li couldn't help but complain to her: "No, I did bring half a pound of meat last time, but my mother didn't cook it at all. She said she wanted to save it for my eldest brother."
Since she got married, Yang Cuilan has not been as good to her as before, and she is reluctant to even give her meat.
Jiang Yu said suspiciously, "But I just saw Uncle Zeng take a piece of meat to Sun's house. Did he want to give it to Zhao Qing to nourish her body since she's pregnant? Uncle Zeng is really nice. He's willing to give her such a big piece of meat."
Jiang Li was furious when she heard this, and she turned around to settle accounts with Sun's mother.
Jiang Yu paused, rolled his eyes twice, and looked outside.
Jiang Li arrived at the door of Sun's house in a blink of an eye and rushed in without saying a word.
Soon, the grandson's mother shouted: "Jiang Li, what are you doing? Are you a robber?"
"Bah! Who is the robber? I don't care what Zeng Chang did before. I was not his wife at that time, but now I have married him. You still want to get things from him, and I will not agree to it!"
Jiang Li came out with a piece of meat.
Look at the weight, it is about one pound.
Xu Lihua loves to see the grandson's mother's excitement, and quickly agreed: "Ruan Xiuyu, this is your fault. Zeng Chang is married, why are you still asking for things from him?"
After this, Zeng Chang couldn't sit still and ran out of the house immediately.
"Xu Lihua, you are not allowed to slander Xiuyu. I gave it to her on my own initiative. What does it have to do with Xiuyu?"
Jiang Li almost rolled her eyes when she heard these words.
"Zeng Chang! Who is your wife? If you like her so much, why did you marry her? Why did you mess with me? I am a virgin girl, and it is already unfair enough to marry you. You didn't even give me a piece of meat to eat, but you rushed to send it to her home!"
Jiang Li cursed in one breath, and then covered her face and cried.
"I have such a miserable life. I thought it's okay for a man to be older and that he would be more caring towards people. But you are only caring towards outsiders!"
Zeng Chang's anger subsided when he saw her crying, and he tried to reason with her: "Xiu Yu has a pregnant woman at home. I am doing this because Zhao Qing is pregnant..."
"What does Zhao Qing's pregnancy have to do with you? I am your legal wife. I have slept with you for these days. Who knows, I might be pregnant in two months! You don't care about my belly, but care about other women instead. You are being taken advantage of?"
Zeng Chang was shocked. Although he was older, he and Jiang Li did it every night. Who knows, Jiang Li might really be pregnant with his child.
Thinking about it this way, he really did do something wrong.
He avoided Sun's mother's resentful eyes and wanted to make peace: "Okay, okay, you've taken the meat back, so forget it."
Jiang Li refused and insisted that he promise not to send meat to Sun's family in the future.
Sun's mother covered her face and sobbed, "Old Zeng, Jiang Li is right. Although our friendship has been pure for many years, we should also keep our distance."
Jiang Li felt sick after hearing this, and her saliva almost sprayed on her face.
"Xiaodao really opened my eyes. Let's all judge, who doesn't have a shortage of food and difficulty in getting meat these days? Which friend would ask for things from others all day long? It's better to stay away from such friends as soon as possible!"
As she said this, Jiang Li reached out to pinch Zeng Chang's ears again.
"You sent so many things to her house, but has she ever let you sleep with her? You probably haven't even touched her little hand, have you? Humph, she's deliberately keeping you hanging so that you'll be willing to beg for money!"
Sun's mother was so ashamed and angry that her face was about to be peeled off.
"You...how can you slander me like this!"
Jiang Li sneered, "Since it's slander, then count how many things you took from her and give them back."
Zeng Chang hurriedly said, "Jiang Li, it's not reasonable to take back things you've sent out, so forget it."
But this statement confirmed that Sun's mother had indeed received many things from him.
Sun's mother felt a burning pain on her face, and ran into the house, covering her face.
Jiang Li didn't chase him anymore, and prepared to go back to the house with the meat in her arms.
But then she heard the voice of Sister Li: "Uncle Zeng, you owed us half a pound of meat last time, have you forgotten?"
Jiang Li's alarm bells rang, "When did it happen?"
"Oh, how could I forget? You borrowed the meat from us on the day you came back. Really, you didn't think of returning the meat as soon as you got it, and gave it to your grandson's family."
Sister Li was dark-skinned, with high cheekbones and slanted eyes, which made her look a bit mean.
Especially when she pouted, her eyes could cut people.
Zeng Chang couldn't stand the nagging, so he asked Jiang Li to go home and cut half a pound of meat for her.
Sister Li took the meat and smiled with satisfaction.
Little Tong Yuan jumped up immediately when he saw the meat.
"Can I eat meat today?"
Sister Li's face fell, "Where is it?"
When Tong Fang came back, she cried to Tong Fang again.
"My two children in the countryside don't get to eat meat all year round, so why not keep this piece of meat for them?"
Tong Fang hesitated, "Didn't we just give it to them last time?"
"That's just a little bit of meat, and both the old and the young will eat it. It's not enough for each person." Sister Li complained.
Tong Fang had no choice but to nod his head, "Then send it over."
Although Tong Yuan was young, he was not completely ignorant.
He pouted in displeasure, not understanding why his father would rather give the meat to others than keep it for him.
