Ling Jiheng knew Song Lizheng would ask this question, so he smiled and said, "Of course, you can, but how can we guarantee everyone's safety?
We can't lead the way and then have to be the thugs, right? If something goes wrong, do I have to pay for it or even my life?
Song Lizheng, think these issues over carefully before you come talk to me again!"
After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, but those red-eyed people still wanted to stop him and say something.
Song Lizheng dragged and pulled the man, and even winked at others, before he finally managed to stop him.
Chi Xingyue walked in front and could still hear people arguing behind him: "Why do they occupy our land and eat the wild boars in our mountains?"
I shook my head, feeling hopeless. The idea that poverty leads to short-sightedness was vividly demonstrated at this moment.
After returning home, Ling San and his friends killed a pig and grilled meat, but Chi Xingyue was in a bad mood.
It's not just because I witnessed a big fight over pigs, but more importantly, I realized the status of women in feudal society.
The dignity that she had received from being favored by Ling Jiheng and the Ling family was shattered by the words "You woman, what right do you have to talk?" Even though Chi Xingyue had a strong mental state, she still felt sad and helpless.
As the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family in the village, she is in such a difficult situation. What about others? Are they having a hard time?
Chi Xingyue felt that she had to do something.
Even if we cannot change the social atmosphere, we must let Qingshan Village know that women are not easy to mess with and women also have the right to speak!
Ling Jiheng noticed Chi Xingyue's mood change, rubbed her head, and asked softly, "Are you angry?"
Chi Xingyue shook his head: "There's no need to argue with someone who's not from the same world!"
Ling Jiheng nodded, letting Chi Xingyue rest, while he went outside to deal with the wild boar with his subordinates.
The pig skin and head were thrown away. Although the internal organs were edible, the wild boar's internal organs were smelly, and Ling Jiheng was too lazy to clean them up.
Not wanting to waste it, he asked Yinbao to take it to Song Lizheng and ask him if anyone in the village wanted it. If no one wanted it, he could feed it to the dogs, but in short, he shouldn't throw it away carelessly.
Before Song Lizheng reached home, he was stopped by Yinbao.
After hearing Yinbao's intention, Song Lizheng said in surprise, "How can we throw it away? There's not enough for everyone to eat. Don't mind, don't mind. Add some more onions, ginger, and garlic, and it won't be fishy!"
Yinbao nodded and handed the three pig heads and three sets of pig offal to Song Lizheng.
Song Lizheng waited for Yin Bao to walk away before kicking him again: "Look, look, the Ling family is so generous. You, a fool, wouldn't flatter them, but you actually offended them. Are you stupid?"
Donkey Egg complained: "My old man hasn't eaten meat in two years, so he asked me to come out and find a solution."
"So you're trying to extort pork from people?" Song Lizheng raised his hand and grabbed Donkey's ear. "You little bastard, you're not learning your lesson. Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents!"
After a series of howling, Song Lizheng breathlessly warned everyone: "He has so many servants at home, we farmers can't afford to offend them, so be careful!"
Everyone nodded, but...
"Uncle Village Chief, will the Ling family take us up the mountain?"
Song Lizheng shook his head: "I don't know, I will try my best.
You should hurry up and chop wood to store enough for the winter. If you have enough energy left, weave some straw mats to cover the seedlings when frost falls.
And fix up the roof and other things, don't let it collapse when it snows, there won't be any extra houses for you to live in in the village!"
"Uncle Village Head, you're exaggerating! We've lived in Qingshan Village for generations. How could a single snowfall make us unable to survive? Our house is sturdy!"
Song Lizheng rolled his eyes at the other person and said, "I'm telling you, if anything happens, don't come crying to me! Okay, okay, everyone, go home. If you want to eat meat, come to my house in the evening and get it. One small spoonful per person."
"Oh, I see. Thank you, Li Zheng!"
The Ling family ignored the commotion here and quickly turned the soil over. When they returned home, they smelled the tempting aroma of meat.
Ling Jiheng and his men pickled the two big wild boars to make bacon, and the small wild boar was partly grilled, partly braised, and partly stewed, weighing a total of twenty kilograms, enough for them to enjoy a satisfying meal.
Many children gathered around the Ling family mansion, slurping their saliva. When they saw someone coming out, they all ran away.
To them, the Ling family is an existence that they both yearn for and fear.
Chi Xingyue rested in the house for a while, then came out and barbecued with Baozhu and the others. He also grabbed a handful of sour dates and ate them slowly.
I suddenly felt like making some mahjong sets to play with. But there's no rush, I'll do it after it snows.
Time passed little by little, and soon the crispy pork belly was cooked.
Ling Jiheng took out a long strip of pork belly from the earthen oven, sprinkled it with cumin and sesame seeds, cut off a small piece with a knife, and gave it to Chi Xingyue to taste.
Chi Xingyue blew on it, and only put it in her mouth when it felt less hot. The crispy outside and tender inside made her squint her eyes in happiness.
The pork belly was marinated just right, not too salty, not too bland, and not too greasy.
He nodded and gave Ling Jiheng a thumbs up.
Ling Jiheng smiled and cut the pork belly into several pieces and sent them to other rooms.
The first and third wives were so pleased with the amazing barbecue that they asked people to send persimmon cakes, chestnut cakes and other things to the second wife as a way of returning the favor.
Not long after, Aunt Taohua came over and called everyone to eat.
Baozhu went to the big kitchen to get her food: a serving of braised pork, a serving of winter melon and pork ribs soup, a serving of mapo tofu, a serving of bean sprouts and eggs, and a plate of steamed buns.
Chi Xingyue was in a good mood today, and took Ling Jiheng to the east room to have dinner with Ling Weicheng and Shu Muyun.
I also brought a dozen small peaches picked from the mountain to help my parents-in-law relieve their greasy stomach.
Shu Muyun originally felt that it was a bit uncomfortable to eat separately from his son every day.
When he saw the two people coming over with peaches, he lost all his temper.
Ling Weicheng looked at the smile on her face and felt that his wife was hopeless.
No matter how much she kept nagging about being a big mother-in-law, her attitude softened when she met Chi Xingyue.
The mouth was held tightly, hmm, it was indeed delicious.
The family was not one to mistreat their servants. Seeing Baozhu and Erzhu standing nearby, they raised their hands and beckoned, "Come and eat together!"
The two were flattered and touched, but they also abided by the rules.
He took a bowl, picked up some dishes, and sat aside to eat.
Baozhu's eyes were full of smiles, and her cheeks were gradually becoming rounder. It was not difficult to tell that she was living a happy life.
Erzhu ate without even raising his head. The young man had a big appetite and took three steamed buns.
The Ling family didn't complain at all and let him eat a little more until he was full.
Chi Xingyue looked at the steamed buns that had almost disappeared and was glad that she had prepared in advance. Otherwise, with such big appetites in her family, even if she had money, she would have had a hard time getting through the winter.
In years of famine or disaster, you can’t buy things just because you have money.
If no one has anything, there will be starving people everywhere and nine out of ten houses will be empty.
I don’t know how the villagers of Qingshan Village have been stockpiling goods recently. I hope they don’t come to me and ask for help when the time comes, and make things difficult for them!
