Chapter 330 The difference between meat and meat - The sickly young lady eating melons in the courtyard
"Mom, I'm really not joking. Those two old fools from the Lin family actually cut off all ties with my man. We have to spend money to buy Xiaowu's job back.
So...so, Lin Feng must ask me to get the money back."
Of course, it was impossible for Mrs. Zhang to spit out the money that had entered her mouth. "Are you stupid? Maybe they did it on purpose?"
"Mom, what are you talking about? Did they do it on purpose? How is that possible? I was watching the whole thing when it all started. Those two old bastards really severed all ties with us."
Old Lady Zhang had just started to speak when she stopped instantly. She originally wanted to fool her daughter, and she had succeeded in doing so before. Why didn't she succeed today?
She stiffened her neck and said, "Why are you so worried? He will never divorce you. He must be just talking. Don't worry!"
"Mom——" Zhang Mei was extremely anxious.
As the one who prepared it, could it be possible that she didn't know whether what Raymond Lam said was true or not?
This time he really means it, okay?
Didn’t her mother see the slap mark on her face?
"Don't think too much. He must be just trying to scare you. How could he really divorce you?"
"Mom - just give me back the money!"
"No, not a penny, it's all spent." Mrs. Zhang said directly.
Zhang Mei looked at her mother with a look of resentment in her eyes. No, she absolutely could not go back empty-handed.
Zhang Dasao, Zhang Mei's sister-in-law, came back from outside at this time. "Hey, sister-in-law, why are you back on the first day of the new year? Aren't you going back to your parents' home tomorrow?"
"Haha! I came back for something, and I want to talk to you guys."
Mrs. Zhang looked around and didn't see the basket bag. She immediately felt dissatisfied and asked, "Sister-in-law, you came empty-handed?"
Zhang Mei looked at her sister-in-law's disdainful eyes, and her heart sank for a moment. Wasn't it just today that she didn't bring anything? In the past, she always brought something back. How could her sister-in-law have the nerve to disdain her?
"I came back in a hurry today and didn't prepare anything."
Mrs. Zhang then remembered that her daughter had returned empty-handed today, and immediately wanted to chase her back, "Okay, stop talking, I've already said there's nothing more, hurry back!"
"Mother, mother, what are you doing? I brought you so many things before, can't I stay here for a meal? Can't I stay here for a night?"
Mrs. Zhang thought about this in her mind. Yes, their family still depends on this gullible sister-in-law to bring back more things. She really needs to be well managed.
He immediately forced a smile, "Haha! Sister-in-law is right, then sister-in-law, you should stay for dinner tonight!"
"I'm going to stay here for one night as well." Zhang Mei said quickly. If she went back empty-handed now, she would definitely be punished by Lin Feng.
"Haha! All right!"
After her daughter-in-law spoke, Mrs. Zhang did not refute much.
Zhang Mei stayed here smoothly.
The Zhang family has a relatively simple population. There are only two children in Zhang Mei's generation, her and her brother. Her brother has four children, two sons and two daughters. The two daughters have already married, the eldest son has taken over his grandfather's job, and the youngest son is still in school.
When the others came back in the evening and saw Zhang Mei, they were all a little shocked.
"Little sister, why are you back?" Boss Zhang was not very welcoming.
"Brother, don't you welcome me?"
Zhang Lao Da was about to say yes when his wife pinched him, "Hiss - haha, how could it be? How could it be?"
"Humph!" Zhang Mei now understood that they didn't welcome her at all.
However, if she didn’t want to…she wouldn’t have left them with such a look!
…
The other side of the compound.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone was basically in harmony, at least no one quarreled openly.
It's just that the comparison is a bit serious.
The ones mentioned here are Aunt Jiang and Aunt Gu.
They were together accusing the Cen family of stealing in the morning, but now in the evening they were competing with each other over dinner.
Lin Qing listened to the quarrel outside, looked at the dishes on their table, and suddenly said with a smile: "They are competing with each other because of a meat dish. Tell me, if they see what's on our table, will they stop quarreling?" Because their family has become their common enemy.
Others at home: "..."
Need I say more? This table of dishes is the envy of every family even if it is taken out separately, not to mention that they have put it together as a table. It would be strange if people don’t envy them to death if they tell others about it!
"Haha! It's rare to see them quarreling in such an amicable manner!" Lin Qing began to change the subject.
Others: "..." Don't you think this change of topic is a bit abrupt?
"Haha!" Okay! That's true.
The cause of the incident outside was also very simple. Jiang Dahu, Jiang Erhu and Gu Dabao were showing off to each other at the door what kind of meat they had eaten.
You won’t know until you show off. Once you show off, problems will arise.
Both families had a meat dish for dinner. It was not as rich as last night’s New Year’s Eve dinner, but it was much better than usual, at least there was a meat dish.
Why didn't this happen yesterday?
Maybe it was because I was too busy yesterday, or maybe it was because I was in a hurry to watch the big show yesterday.
After these children have finished setting off their firecrackers today, won’t they pay more attention to the food at home?
After dinner, several children were playing in the yard. Somehow, they started introducing their own dinner.
It is said that Aunt Jiang and Aunt Gu have been at odds for years, and their grandchildren don't get along much either. They can play together, but they also often quarrel, just like now.
"We have a dish of stir-fried pork with green onions tonight! The pork was very big and I ate several pieces!" On this night when there were no outsiders around, Aunt Gu did not cut the pork into small pieces. Instead, she cut it into whole pieces because it was easier to find and divide.
Su Shengnan left the compound before the Chinese New Year. She was going home to celebrate the New Year, so Aunt Gu didn't need to prepare dinner for her during the New Year.
Aunt Gu was not so angry with Jiang Li now, but she did not forgive her either. When distributing the meat in the evening, she did not even think of giving any to her. She turned out the bacon in the dish with just a few chopsticks and gave the most to Gu Hang. Gu Dabao let her take eight pieces, Gu Xiaoniu also took five pieces, and she took six pieces for herself.
Compared to the Gu family, the Jiang family was not so generous, mainly because they had more people. Even when cutting meat, Aunt Jiang did not dare to cut it into large pieces. She cut it very finely, trying to make the whole dish full of minced meat, so that at least everyone could get a piece.
Isn't the comparison obvious now?
"My family is eating meat tonight too!"
"Then you definitely didn't eat as much as I did. I ate eight...eight pieces of bacon, and they were all this big!" Gu Dabao compared with his hands.
Jiang Dahu and Jiang Erhu were stunned instantly; they had never seen such a big piece of meat before!
He immediately burst into tears.
