"But can we eat this weasel?"
"I don't know, ugh..."
"Ugh... They've stirred up a weasel's den!"
This pungent, bone-deep stench was indeed somewhat similar to the smell of a weasel, making it almost unbearable. Before long, the courtyard was filled with sounds of vomiting.
Everyone stared at the Wang family's house, since smoke was coming from the kitchen! It was clear that both families were at the Wang family's house.
Aunt Yuan was puzzled by everyone's miserable state. What kind of trouble were the Wang and Qin families up to? This smell was really unbearable for most people.
Aunt Yuan sighed. As the head of the management department, she couldn't not go! But she really couldn't bring herself to do it. Would she faint from the stench as soon as she walked in? Probably not, that would be too embarrassing.
She covered her mouth and nose without relaxing her grip, her voice muffled: "Old Mrs. Wang, what are you doing at home? Wang Meifen? Old Mr. Qin? Qin Fen? Open the door, come out for a moment."
"Did they get overwhelmed by the smell inside?!"
"No way! This shouldn't be poisonous!"
"I don't know, I've never heard anyone say that weasels are edible!"
"Could he really have been poisoned and passed out?!"
Aunt Yuan wasn't sure if anyone inside had fainted, and fearing something might happen, she shouted loudly, "Wang Meifen? Qin Fen? Are you alright? If you don't open the door, we'll kick it down!"
People were talking amongst themselves in the yard, and the smell was so strong it was like a weasel's den had been blown up; it was truly unbearable. They struggled to cover their mouths and noses, looking quite helpless.
Inside the house? The people inside certainly hadn't passed out; after all, it wasn't a poison gas bomb, so how could they faint? But they were embarrassed, and hadn't expected the smell to be so strong, so they closed the doors and windows tightly. They didn't say anything, especially Old Lady Wang and Old Man Qin, who still held a sliver of hope. There's a saying that good medicine tastes bitter! Maybe the strong smell was because the medicine was potent! After all, the sheep testicle tonic was a recipe passed down from their ancestors.
But the shouts outside made Old Man Qin extremely irritable. He had been irritable lately, but no one knew. If Liu Yun saw Old Man Qin's symptoms, she would definitely know that he was clearly suffering from depression. However, after experiencing something like this, it would be difficult not to become depressed.
Hearing the shouts outside, Old Man Qin got angry and roared, "What are you all doing gathered at my doorstep! Are you trying to pick a fight and bully me?"
What a preemptive strike! The group of "victims" outside: "..."
They are more wronged than Dou E; only a snowfall can prove their innocence.
Aunt Yuan couldn't take it anymore. She was standing at the front, and as soon as the door opened, a stench hit her face. She couldn't hold it in any longer, "Ugh..."
It took him a while to realize, "Old Qin, no one has ever eaten that weasel before. We don't know if it's poisonous! We'd better not eat it and get sick."
"yes!"
"Yes! Who knows if this taste is poisonous."
Old Qin was trembling with anger. These people really don't know how to talk, how can they be so infuriating?
"You're the one who eats weasels! And what business is it of yours what I cook in my own home? You guys really have nothing better to do, huh? Mind your own business! You meddle in everything! Do you live by the sea? Why are you so nosy? What I cook and eat at home is none of your concern. Why do you have to come knocking on my door and cause trouble?"
"But the smell is too strong! We're about to send everyone away. Please give us a way out!"
"Yes! This smells so strong, we might not even be able to eat it! Your family is old and young, we don't want it to cause any problems."
"Hey Old Qin, can you shut up for a second? It hasn't been long since the incident of someone falling into the toilet in our yard was over! And now it's one after another, all in your yard. Then there was the broken egg. We've finally gotten over that incident, so can you please stop giving others something to talk about? Look over there, I really don't want to be surrounded by a bunch of people asking me all sorts of questions every time I show up. If it were something good, that would be fine, but this is all embarrassing stuff, it's really shameful. I'm not even married yet!"
The man pointed, and everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, immediately spotting a crowd of onlookers.
The smell was indeed very pungent, but it wasn't strong enough to travel outside; it was clearly audible in their front and back yards.
But when everyone gathers in the courtyard, their voices rise and they all talk, which attracts a crowd of onlookers.
As soon as they reached the door, wow, the aroma wafted over!
Now it's clear why everyone was gathered in the yard chattering away—the smell was awful! Everyone was pointing and whispering, discussing which family had fallen into their toilet again, especially in the sweltering heat of summer!
Aunt Yuan almost couldn't catch her breath. Their courtyard's reputation was completely ruined; now, there was absolutely no hope of them becoming an outstanding courtyard.
She quickly said, "Everyone, stop watching the commotion and disperse."
"Aunt Yuan, what's going on in your yard again?"
"This smell! It's really unique; I've never smelled anything like it before."
"Has someone fallen into the latrine again?"
"Are they going to boil dumplings in a latrine again?!"
"Is it cool inside because it's too hot outside?"
Upon hearing this, Old Man Qin couldn't hold back any longer and jumped up in anger: "What are you all doing! Are you all here to watch the show? My family is just boiling an egg, is that not allowed? It might smell a bit strong, but we're not bothering anyone else. Who doesn't want to eat some meat? Why are you bullying us? Are you taking advantage of the fact that I'm impotent? Is that it! You can't treat people like this! If I'm impotent, can't I get treatment? Can't I get some restorative treatment?"
The old man started crying as he spoke.
