Chapter 35: Disputes over meat - The sickly young lady's daily routine of eating melons in the courtyard

"Which family is cooking meat again?" Aunt Jiang wanted to ask who was cooking meat and see if she could get some back.

"The Cen family." Mrs. Jiang stood in front of Mrs. Jiang and said with her eyes slightly lowered.

"Why are they here again?" When Aunt Jiang heard the name of the Cen family, she was about to leave but stopped herself in her tracks.

The Cen family has a sickly person, and she is not someone she can deal with. When she thinks of the dozens of dollars she spent last time, she dares not move at all now!

When Mrs. Jiang saw her mother-in-law's aggrieved look, she suddenly felt happy for no apparent reason. However, she did not dare to show it on her face. She could only pinch her palms to hold back her laughter.

"Stop making trouble, wait until next time, oh no, wait until tomorrow, when your father brings his new wife in tomorrow, then you'll have meat to eat!"

"Tomorrow, is there really going to be meat tomorrow?" Big Tiger and Little Tiger were arguing when they suddenly heard their grandma say that there would be meat to eat tomorrow!

"Yes, yes, don't worry!" Her son said that he would go to the slaughterhouse to buy a pound of meat tomorrow. Because the supply and marketing cooperative might not have meat early in the morning, he planned to ask the workers at the slaughterhouse!

"Oh Yeah! Okay!" The big tiger and the little tiger finally stopped crying. They just had to wait until tomorrow. Then they would have meat to eat!

They didn't care at all about their father getting married. Nothing is more important than eating meat.

On the Gu family's side, Aunt Gu was also discharged from the hospital and went home. She was pushed back on a cart. Seeing that Aunt Jiang was discharged from the hospital, she didn't want to waste medical expenses in the hospital, so she was discharged as well.

Gu Hang pushed her back, and as soon as he reached the door, he heard the crying of the child at home.

At the door, she shouted: "Hey, my dear, why are you crying so hard? What happened to you? Did that little bitch Jiang Li bully you? Is it..."

Jiang Li couldn't help but shudder when her mother-in-law scolded her. She wanted to explain, but her mother-in-law didn't give her a chance and started scolding her like a machine gun before she even entered the door.

Gu Hang was also frowning at the side, and it was unclear whether he was frowning at Aunt Jiang who was scolding, or at Jiang Li who was suspected of bullying the child!

Jiang Li saw Gu Hang frowning, and was afraid that Gu Hang might misunderstand her, so she quickly explained, "Mom, Dabao is acting like this because he wants to eat meat!"

Aunt Gu stopped scolding abruptly, and after a long while she said hesitantly, "If Dabao wants to eat meat, why don't you just give it to him?"

"Mom, where is the meat in the house?" Jiang Li asked back.

Of course Aunt Gu knew where the meat was. She hid all the meat in the house in her bedroom. She hid it very well and would never take out the meat to eat unless it was absolutely necessary.

The last time, when she was chased out by Lin's mother because she didn't get the meat, she took out a little bit of meat to please Gu Dabao, and she hid the rest well!

But she didn't want to tell her daughter-in-law at home. At this time, Aunt Gu and Aunt Jiang showed the same side and said stubbornly: "If you can't find meat at home, won't you go to someone who has meat to ask for it?"

This is what Aunt Gu likes to do most on weekdays. Whenever she sees a family cooking meat, she will bring a bowl to the door and ask for some meat to bring back for her grandson!

Jiang Li said with a wry smile: "The family that cooked the meat is the Cen family."

"The Cen family? Why are they here again?" Aunt Gu said gritting her teeth.

Aunt Gu was so angry! If it weren't for the Cen family, he wouldn't have to pay for the medical expenses, wouldn't have fought with Aunt Jiang, and wouldn't have been lying on the cart like now. It was all the fault of the Cen family.

After Jiang Li finished talking about the Cen family, she didn't dare to mention going to their house to ask for it. Like Jiang's mother, she was already scared by Lin Qing. If she came a few more times, their family wouldn't have that much money to give her a wedding!

Finally, Aunt Gu could only ask Jiang Li to cut a small piece of the meat she had hidden away to satisfy her grandson's craving and to replenish Gu Hang and her body. Jiang Li and the little girl were not qualified to eat the meat!

"You're back?" Lin Qing greeted him with a smile.

Cen Xi also took two quick steps, holding Lin Qing's hand and went back home.

"Hmm, it smells so good. What did you cook today? I think I smell meat. Did you buy any meat?"

"Yeah, I was very lucky today. Not only did I buy eggs, I also bought two kilograms of beef."

"Beef, is it really beef?" Cen Xi couldn't help but widen his eyes. This beef was so rare. Unless there was something wrong with the cow itself, farmers would not be willing to kill it. So one might not be able to eat beef for several years. Qingqing was so lucky!

"Yeah, it's true. I cooked half a pound. You should eat more later to replenish your body."

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work in cleaning it up."

"It's not hard, it's not hard. I just cook some simple meals. How can it be hard?"

"I think you have worked hard, really hard!" Cen Xi looked at her affectionately.

Lin Qing was so embarrassed by being looked at!

"Hurry up and wash your hands. It's time to eat!" Lin Qing pushed him lightly!

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

"Wow, it's delicious! Qingqing's cooking skills are great!" Lin Qing was eating the food in the bowl, listening to Cen Xi's praise for her, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously!

"It's delicious, just eat more!" Lin Qing picked up another piece of meat with his chopsticks!

"Well, you eat too!" Cen Xi also gave her a piece of food with his chopsticks.

"I bought two kilograms of meat. We will go back for the banquet tomorrow, and I plan to bring back a kilogram of beef!" Lin Qing was a little nervous, afraid that Cen Xi would not agree with her doing this!

"Of course, that's what I should do. This beef is so rare, I should bring some back for my parents to taste."

Lin Qing's grin widened even wider, "You are so nice!"

Cen Xi smiled and said, "These are all trivial matters. Just make the decision for yourself! You don't need to ask me in the future."

Lin Qing felt happy because of his words. She knew that Cen Xi said this because he cared about her parents.

"Thank you!" Thank you for caring about my parents!

"I should be the one thanking my parents. They worked so hard to raise you. What's wrong with giving you a pound of beef? They deserve more!"

"Yeah." Tears welled up in Lin Qing's eyes.

She thought Cen Xi was a really good person, very, very good. He knew that he couldn't really let go of his parents, so he would care about them with her to reassure her and not let her feel panic or anxiety!

At the Su family's side, Aunt Su waited for a long time but Qin Xianglian didn't come back. Su Dazhuang and Su Erzhuang were getting impatient and their stomachs were growling. There were only a few plates of green vegetables on the table, and no meat as their grandmother had promised, so they started crying again.

"Grandma, why hasn't my mom come back yet?"

"Where's the meat? Why is there no meat?"

"I want meat, I want to eat meat!"

Aunt Su felt a little annoyed when she saw her two grandsons making trouble again, and she kept cursing Qin Xianglian in her heart!
