Chapter 76 Resentment
Li was worried about her mother's kimchi. She knew that the kimchi was not selling well because Wang Laosi's family was busy. She was afraid that her mother's family would lose money. The pork in the yard was not attractive anymore. She stood up quickly and said, "Mom, I'm going to go back to my mother's house. I'll clean it up when I come back."
Zhulan rolled her eyes in her heart and hurriedly stopped Li, "You don't have to go back. Your mother's kimchi has already been sold out."
Li was confused, "Mom, how did you know?"
Zhulan saw Wang Ru's expression change, and she felt better. "How do you think I knew that the spicy cabbage was sold to the escort company and Wu Chun was in charge? Okay, pack up quickly. When you're done, take two pounds of meat back to your mother's house. I'll give your grandmother a taste of our fat pork."
The benefit of Li's open-mindedness was that Zhulan said it was all right, so she was relieved and did not ask any more questions. She focused her attention on the pork again. Li cleaned the intestines and said, "Mom, my brother and sister-in-law and I will go back to the kitchen to fill the blood intestines."
Zhulan waved her hand, "Go ahead."
Wang Ru pinched her palms, not only did all her planning go to waste, but she also suffered a lot. She was extremely resentful. How come Li got away with nothing when it was her bad luck? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. It was hard for her to accept that she, a modern person, could not outsmart the ancients.
Sun's character was really cowardly. Seeing Aunt Zheng returning home angrily, she didn't dare to stay any longer, so she pulled her daughter and said, "Let's go back too."
Wang Ru shook off her cheap mother's hand and glared at her belly. It was all because of this piece of meat. Without this piece of meat, her cheap father wouldn't have any money and wouldn't know his own weight. She said to repair the house first but she didn't listen. She felt that she was challenging her cheap father's position and scolded her.
Now, the money she lent out cannot be returned. She has no money to repair the roof, and she has no place to live. Not to mention staying at someone else's house, she doesn't even have a penny. Just living there costs five cents, and firewood also costs money. She has no choice but to sleep on the street before the New Year.
As for the private money in her hand, she will not touch it!
Sun protected her belly. Sanya's look was too scary. "Sanya, what are you doing?"
Wang Ru glared and shouted fiercely: "I changed my name to Wang Ru, don't call me San Ya anymore."
Seeing Sun retreating a few steps in fear, Zhulan hurriedly helped her. She was not being kind but was afraid that Sun would get into trouble at Zhou's house. She really didn't like Wang Laosi's family. "The child ran away, you should hurry back too!"
Sun was still frightened and left quickly without even saying thank you.
Zhulan pricked up her ears to listen to the noise coming from next door, thinking that Wang Laosi and his wife were really troublesome. Wang Ru had not planned to vent her anger on the Li family, and it seemed that Wang Ru could no longer suppress her resentment.
Zhulan secretly thought it was a pity that Wang Ru couldn't run away from home. In ancient times, one needed a pass and household registration to go anywhere, so one couldn't just move around. Not only was trafficking legal in ancient times, but kidnappers were even more rampant. Kidnappers were powerful and had no modern high technology. The area was vast and sparsely populated, so it was a bit of a trap. It was difficult to catch kidnappers!
Moreover, in ancient times, there was no way to seek redress if an illegal household was bought and sold. Even if you were really sold, the government would not care about you. This is why Rongchuan never thought of running away from home even when he was tortured by his parents. Once you become an illegal household, if you are lucky you may be sold to a good family, but if you are unlucky you may be sold to a dirty place. It is better to die cleanly than to live a life worse than death.
Things were quiet next door, and Zhulan cut the pork into pieces of about one pound each, and froze them in a large jar, so that it would be convenient to take them out when it was time to eat. She would wait for the eldest brother to come back to clean up the pig heads, as she didn't know how to do it. Zhulan looked at the full jar of pork, then at her hands covered in pig blood, and fell silent. I never thought that a rich second-generation like her could adapt so well to the ancient times. Not only did she not feel disgusted with killing the pigs, she also didn't feel disgusted with cleaning them herself, and she was very happy about it.
Zhulan counted the changes since ancient times and looked up at the sky. The environment really changes people!
When the eldest grandson Mingyun saw that grandma had put all the meat into the jar, his face fell in despair, "Grandma, don't you want to eat meat tonight?"
Zhulan looked down and saw that she had not left a single piece of meat. She smiled and said, "Eat. Not only will we eat meat tonight, we will also stew bones."
Mingyun stood still and said, "Grandma, you've worked hard. I'll help you get it to mom."
Zhu Lan laughed. The young man was afraid that she would coax him. He was a young man with a lot of thoughts. He was from the Zhou family. Fortunately, the Zhou family had stronger genes than the Li family. His grandson took after the Zhou family. Otherwise, Zhou Shuren would have cried. "Okay, okay, grandma will give it to you."
