Chapter 189 How can you ask for it from others?
The next day, Lai Liuzi and Tieniu came very early.
Just then, He Tingyue had prepared breakfast and called them to eat.
Lai Liuzi was a little embarrassed, "Brother, we..."
"It's not the first time you come to my house, why are you acting like a grown-up girl? Tieniu is more sensible than you."
Look at Tieniu, she has already sat down and started to eat, without him urging her.
Lai Liuzi glared at Tieniu, not knowing how to be polite at all.
"These days, everyone is short of food and clothing. I can see that Brother Yue has several children."
He Zhengdong and his sister were also at the age of knowing how to eat. If they ate the food, what would the children eat?
Tieniu bit the soft big steamed bun, which was much more delicious than what he made.
"Sixth brother, stop talking. Bring back the bag of Fuqiang flour from home."
Lai Liuzi nodded, "Okay, remember it next time."
After breakfast, Jiang Yu hadn't gotten up yet. He Tingyue didn't bother her. He washed the clothes in the yard before leaving with them.
Lai Liuzi and Tieniu stared.
"Are those my sister-in-law's clothes?"
Lai Liuzi: "...Should be? Brother Yue also washes clothes for my sister-in-law."
Tieniu: "It doesn't seem strange. I heard that Brother Yue can also weave scarves."
"Let's go. What are you daydreaming about?" He Tingyue turned around and called them.
Lai Liuzi and Tieniu hurriedly stood up and followed him out the door.
When Jiang Yu got up, they had already killed a sheep and brought back the meat.
"You're leaving so early?" Jiang Yu widened his eyes.
He Tingyue wiped his hands, which were full of the smell of sheep, and did not approach her.
"Only one was killed, and the remaining one will be kept first."
But in this weather, the meat will not go bad. It's
just that freshly killed sheep are fresher and taste better than frozen meat.
Jiang Yu said, "Send some to Master Yang at the bus station."
After all, he is Jiang Ye's master, so he has to send some gifts to pay homage to his master.
Jiang Ye, who is young, will definitely not think of these things, so she, as his sister, has to arrange them.
He Tingyue cut two more lamb chops and two pounds of meat.
"Send these over."
After sending Master Yang, he naturally thought of Zhang Daying.
If it weren't for her help, Jiang Ye might not have gotten the job, so he should thank her.
"Master Zhang and Sister Zhang's families should also prepare a few pounds, and we can eat the rest."
He Tingyue cut off two more portions of meat and put them aside.
This sheep weighed a full 150 pounds, and there was still a lot of meat left after removing the internal organs.
This amount of meat could not be finished in one meal, so Jiang Yu kept two large lamb legs for his family, as well as a lot of lamb chops and offal.
"For the rest, let's ask if anyone in the compound wants it? Oh, yes, and Master Li's family, leave some for them as well."
He Tingyue and his friends came back with so much meat, and it would be unreasonable not to share some with their neighbors.
If no one had any objections, and if they made others jealous, something would definitely go wrong.
It would be better to nip their bad intentions in the bud.
He Tingyue went out to ask, and Lin Donghua was the first to speak up.
"Jiang Yu, can I have two lamb chops and three pounds of meat?"
Jiang Yu nodded, "No extra charge, 90 cents per pound, sister-in-law, just give me four and a half dollars."
Lin Donghua immediately handed over the money.
When Jiang Yu took it, she also packed some lamb offal for her.
"It's also delicious to stew lamb offal soup."
Lin Donghua smiled and thanked, "Then I'll go back first."
Xu Lihua and the Sun family came forward to buy lamb. It was the Fu
family's turn. Lin Hongxia urged Jiang Ting: "Go and ask your sister to send us two pounds to try."
Jiang Ting drooped her eyelids, "Mom, she will definitely not send it, let's buy it directly."
"You ask first, if she really doesn't send it, we will pay for it!" Lin Hongxia kicked her and urged her to go out.
Jiang Ting had no choice but to go over and ask for it shamelessly.
Everyone paid for the meat, even Xu Lihua, who was always greedy, didn't think of asking Jiang Yu to give it away for free.
When Xu Lihua heard Jiang Ting asking Jiang Yu to give her two pounds of meat, she immediately burst into laughter.
"Old Lin, come out and take a look. Your daughter-in-law is too shameless. She actually asked Jiang Yu to give her meat."
Her words seemed to be scolding Jiang Ting, but it made Lin Hongxia angry.
"They are sisters. What's wrong with asking for two pounds of meat?"
Xu Lihua said, "Then why didn't you see Xianghong bring two pounds of meat home?"
Lin Hongxia's eldest daughter Fu Xianghong had been married for many years. She would come to visit during festivals, but she always came empty-handed and left with something.
Lin Hongxia finally felt embarrassed by these words, and secretly scolded Xu Lihua for meddling in other people's business.
"Jiang Ting, your Aunt Xu is right. Can you have some dignity? We are not without money. How can we ask for money from others?"
Jiang Ting looked at her aggrievedly, "Mom, it's not you..."
"Okay, come back and get the money. We will buy a few pounds of meat!" Lin Hongxia interrupted her immediately, blaming her for being tactless.
After Jiang Ting bought three pounds of meat and went back, Tong Fang also came over.
"Sister-in-law, I will buy two pounds too."
Jiang Yu said, "There are only lamb chops left. Do you want them?"
Everyone doesn't like to buy lamb chops, not because they don't like to eat them, but because they think they are not worth it.
Bones are heavier than meat, so it's better to just eat meat.
Tong Fang hesitated for a moment, "Buy it." But
was quickly stopped by Sister Li: "What's good about lamb chops? They are all bones, not two taels of meat."
Tong Fang took back the money when she saw her say that.
“Then we won’t buy it.”
Sister-in-law Li was unhappy again: "Let's buy some meat. The two children haven't eaten meat for a long time."
Jiang Yu repeated: "Sister-in-law Li, I don't have any mutton here, only lamb chops. Do you want them?"
Sister-in-law Li set his eyes on the leg of lamb that Jiang Yu had kept for herself, "Why don't you cut some meat from this leg of lamb for us?"
Jiang Yu was amused by her, "Sister-in-law Li, I'm not your mother. Why do you act like I owe you something?"
He Tingyue walked out of the house and looked at Tong Fang.
"Sister Li is from your family after all. You can't even control your family. I find it hard to believe that you can do your job well. The two children she brought with her have been complained about several times in the compound. You don't know what's going on, do you?"
Tong Fang looked embarrassed. "Brother Yue, her family is in trouble. Her parents-in-law are gone, and her husband has passed away. She and the children are left to depend on each other."
Otherwise, he would not agree to let Sister Li take the children.
He Tingyue said calmly: "You sympathize with her, that's your own business, it doesn't mean that everyone has to pay for your bad kindness."
These days, how many people have good family conditions?
There are many people with miserable lives, how can they care about so many.
It is ok to help within the scope of one's ability, but it is rare to find someone like Tong Fang who would rather sacrifice her own son and ask others to raise the child.
Seeing that they actually despised her like this, Sister Li couldn't help crying again.
"Dad, you..."
Jiang Yu interrupted coldly: "Sister Li, if you want to cry, please go back to your own home."
Tong Fang felt ashamed, and finally did not buy the meat, and took Sister Li home.
I thought Sister Li would finally be more obedient, but Tong Fang couldn't control her, and she actually threw and hit in the house, crying and shouting.
