Zhou Yongfu scolded the troublemakers again, and then called Zhou Yunzhou over to see which piece of meat he wanted.
Jiang Qingwu and Zhou Yunzhou went forward to pick the pork without paying any attention to the eyes of the people around them. Who cares? Since some people are so cruel, there is no need for me to care whether you can eat those two more bites of meat.
"Wife, where do you want the meat?" Zhou Yunzhou directly let Jiang Qingwu make the decision. His wife could have whatever she wanted.
The butcher thought Jiang Qingwu would most likely take the fattier parts, so he had already pointed his knife at that piece of meat. However, to his surprise, Jiang Qingwu did not do so.
"Uncle Captain, we need 10 jin of pork belly and 10 jin of lean meat. Also, if no one wants the pig's offal, I can take one jin less of pork belly in exchange for the pig's offal."
When Zhou Yongfu heard his words, he had the same reaction as the butcher. Everyone knows that fat can be used to make a lot of oil. Why did he also ask for half of the lean meat and the pig's offal? Those things are not edible.
Just as Zhou Yongfu was about to open his mouth to persuade Jiang Qingwu, he heard Zhou Yunzhou say, "Do as my wife says. Listen to my wife."
Mrs. Zhou was at the front of the line and heard Jiang Qingwu ask for half of the lean meat. She was so angry that she wanted to go up and scold her.
When Sun Erni and Liu Zhaodi saw that Zhou Yunzhou had divided so much pork at once, they immediately became interested. There were many people in the family, and one pound of meat was not enough for each person to have a piece, and the mother-in-law would definitely leave another half a pound for Zhou Laosi.
But Zhou Yunzhou got a lot, so it was no big deal to ask his mother-in-law to ask for a few pounds for him. After all, she was Zhou Yunzhou's biological mother. She didn't believe that Jiang Qingwu and Zhou Yunzhou would be so stingy in front of so many people that they wouldn't even give a few pounds of meat to his biological mother.
The two of them ran to Old Lady Zhou and whispered for a while, then Old Lady Zhou asked Sun Erni to line up, and she took Liu Zhaodi to Jiang Qingwu and Zhou Yunzhou.
He said to Zhou Yongfu and the butcher very consciously, "I want fat meat for the 10 kilograms I have, and just give them lean meat for the 10 kilograms. I don't care about them."
Zhou Yongfu wanted to spit in her face, "Old lady Zhou, it's not your turn to get the meat yet. You only have one pound of meat at home. Are you dreaming of getting 10 pounds of meat?"
Old Mrs. Zhou is so shameless and has no dignity, how could she possibly give up like this?
"Why? My son got 20 kilograms of meat, but he can't give half to his parents? What's the logic behind this?"
Zhou Yongfu yelled at her angrily, "Stop making such a fuss. Yun Zhou may have been separated on the surface, but in reality, they've severed ties with you. Even if it's just a separation, whether or not you get the meat is still a matter of debate. Get out of the way."
Zhou Yunzhou didn't even look at Old Lady Zhou, and directly continued what the captain said, "Captain, I only have my wife and my son. I won't share the meat with anyone else. Divide it according to what my wife says."
Then he said to Jiang Qingwu, "Wife, you hold our son and I'll hold the meat. If you hold it, I'm afraid some shameless people will snatch it from you and hurt you."
Jiang Qingwu chuckled and took the little sun. "Then please be gentle. I'm afraid some people with old arms and legs can't stand being dropped."
Old Mrs. Zhou started to rage, "Everyone, come and see! I gave him this life, and now he won't even give her a bite of meat to eat. What a heartless, ungrateful, ungrateful person!"
Liu Zhaodi was still adding fuel to the fire, "Fifth brother, you said you were mean to your brothers and nephews, but how could you even disown our mother? It's a pity that mother always misses you at home. How sad she must be."
Jiang Qingwu sneered and said, "I really want to laugh. Is she nagging Yunzhou or scolding Zhou Yunzhou at home? She is probably the one who wants Zhou Yunzhou to die the most."
He shifted his gaze slightly and looked at Old Lady Zhou, "And you, stop being so shameless and unreasonable. We won't fall for it. If you want to make a scene, then I'll report it to the commune and the public security bureau. You gave birth to a child but didn't raise him, and you robbed things in public. Let's see if you still have any dignity left.
"Have you forgotten that I'm an educated youth who went to the countryside? If you dare to touch even a pound of meat from my house, I will immediately report you to the educated youth center in town for bullying the educated youth who went to the countryside because you're a villager. If that affects the village's selection as an outstanding production team, and everyone doesn't get to share the extra grain and money, you'll be the village's criminal."
When the villagers heard what Jiang Qingwu said, they all blamed Old Lady Zhou.
"Mrs. Zhou, you are so shameless! Have you ever raised a fifth child? If the fifth child didn't have his grandparents, he would have starved to death."
"That's right, you have the nerve to open your mouth and say that. You don't even care about your dignity."
"She doesn't have any dignity at all. If she had any, she wouldn't be throwing a tantrum here."
Zhou Yongfu was also very angry. He called a few people to drag Mrs. Zhou aside and said, "Get out of here! Don't waste time here! If you make trouble again, I won't give your family a pound of meat! Stop being so shameless."
The butcher cut the meat as Jiang Qingwu said and gave it to Zhou Yunzhou, and also gave him the pig's offal.
"Jiang Zhiqing, this thing doesn't taste good. How are you going to eat it?" Zhou Yongfu was worried about them when he saw that she asked for pig offal. Wouldn't it be better to ask for a pound of meat?
"Then I'll cook it and ask Yunzhou to bring some to you, Captain, to try. You can see if it tastes good then," Jiang Qingwu said with a smile.
Seeing how confident she was, Zhou Yongfu began to wonder if she could really cook delicious food.
"Okay, then uncle will wait. If you can really make delicious food, I will let your aunt learn from you."
The two of them walked home with the meat and their son in their arms. The villagers stared at the meat in Zhou Yunzhou's hands, tears of envy streaming from the corners of their mouths.
On the way, Zhou Yunzhou was still asking Jiang Qingwu, "Wife, how do you think we should eat this pig's offal?"
"Go back and clean it. I'll make you some delicious stew. But what should we do with the meat? We're not short of meat, but wild boar meat is fishy and tough. I don't like it."
Zhou Yunzhou didn't know what to do. He remembered that he was going hunting in the mountains tomorrow, so he simply took all the fish to the town to sell.
"How about putting it in the space first, and then selling it in town tomorrow when I go there to sell wild animals?"
"That's fine, but when you go home, divide the meat into two portions of two pounds each, one for Aunt Wang's family and one for Aunt Zhang's family. They always help us, and we can't eat alone. We still need to have a few good friends in the village," Jiang Qingwu instructed Zhou Yunzhou, and Zhou Yunzhou nodded.
Jiang Qingwu continued, "Then let's have braised pork and some cold dishes tonight. I'll get you a bottle of beer, okay?"
"Wife, can I still fight for some oysters?" Zhou Yunzhou said to Jiang Qingwu with a smug smile on his face.
"No, I won't let you eat oysters for the next month. I can still give you crayfish. I'll make spicy crayfish. I'm drooling just thinking about it."
Zhou Yunzhou knew that his wife understood what he meant from the look she gave him. Humph, your manliness has nothing to do with oysters. Not giving me oysters won't stop me from doing bad things.
Jiang Qingwu put the meat on the table and asked Zhou Yunzhou to divide it, then took out flour for him to wash the pig's offal, and went to feed Xiao Taiyang water.
