Chapter 404: Resentment - The Sickly Young Girl Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard
"You can't blame me for this! They ran too fast and I didn't even finish my words!" Lin Qing was afraid of being blamed.
"..." The others also fell silent.
It seems... I really can't blame anyone else, but it still feels a little useless.
"Or... who among you is quick enough to chase them back?" Lin Qing asked tentatively.
Unfortunately, the three aunts' daughters-in-law basically have no such idea, or it can be said that they are simply unwilling to spend the effort.
Mrs. Jiang was full of resentment at the moment. She was angry at both her mother-in-law, Aunt Jiang, and her younger sister-in-law, Lin Shu. She was the first to refuse. "I'm busy. How can I have the time? Anyway, it's not far away. They will be back soon."
Wang Qiaomei and Jiang Li said nothing, and had similar thoughts. Anyway, it wasn't far away, and if they walked quickly, they would have reached the supply and marketing cooperative by now.
If they didn't see the meat, they would have come back naturally. So why do they need to call them?
Lin Qing shrugged. She didn't care. It wasn't her house anyway. Besides, they were just too impatient and didn't listen to her completely. It wasn't her fault.
Aunt Li and Aunt Sui also ran over from the backyard, and Mother Lin followed behind them.
"Nannan, are you going out?" Mother Lin took two quick steps and walked to Lin Qing's side first.
"Mom! I just went to the supply and marketing cooperative."
Aunt Li asked hurriedly, "Did the supply and marketing cooperative really deliver meat today?"
"Yeah." Lin Qing nodded and said with regret: "When it was my turn, there was only a little left, and some bones. I don't know why it didn't come to us."
Aunt Li and Aunt Sui were also full of regret. Meat, they were also looking forward to having meat!
But it really depends on luck.
The two of them looked at Lin Qing with some envy. She just happened to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, and there was some meat left at the end so it was her turn. Her luck was too good.
"Hey, why didn't anyone come back to tell us?" Usually, when the people they received found out that the supply and marketing cooperative had delivered meat, they would always notify us after buying the meat. But this time, there was no sound at all.
Qin Xianglian's eyes flickered. On her way back from going out in the afternoon, someone had indeed informed her of this matter. After that person told her, he went to steal the meat.
But she didn't want to see anyone in the yard buying meat. Why should others have some to eat but they don't?
Lin Qing didn't know why, but she suddenly looked at Qin Xianglian. She always felt that Qin Xianglian's question just now was a little strange.
She looked at Qin Xianglian's gleaming eyes and seemed a little guilty. Could this be related to the news of the meat coming?
After a while, everyone went back to their homes, and Lin's mother also went home with Lin Qing.
"Mom! I don't need your help. Just take a good rest today." Lin Qing had made up his mind to cook by himself today.
Mother Lin sat down in front of the stove and said, "I won't do it. Can I help you light the fire?"
Seeing that she was unwilling to leave, Lin Qing finally compromised, "Okay!"
It's not that Lin Qing can't do any housework, it's just that she does less. She can still cook a simple meal.
First clean the wok, then wash the vegetables, then put a few potatoes in the wok and cook them so that you can peel them later.
Then she started to chop the bones, but just as she picked up the knife and gestured, Lin's mother stopped her, "Hey! Nannan, why didn't you tell me earlier that you bought bones? Do you have the strength to chop them?" As she said that, she snatched the knife from her hand.
"I'll do it for you!"
Lin Qing was gently pushed away and touched her nose helplessly. She had just thought of this problem. The bone was a bit big and she seemed unable to chop it open. She gestured with the knife but didn't know how to start.
"Then help me chop this bone! Cut one into three pieces, and each of us will get two pieces." This is just the right way to divide it!
"Okay!" Lin's mother replied with a smile.
…
The mother and daughter were chatting and laughing while preparing dinner here, but the atmosphere outside was not very good.
After a few aunts quickly rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative, they realized that their trip was in vain and they were in a very bad mood.
Full of resentment all the way.
"Why doesn't Lin Qing explain clearly? If I had known the meat was gone, I wouldn't have come here!" Aunt Jiang complained.
The other two were united in their hatred of the enemy at this time. Aunt Gu was very unhappy that she didn't get the meat for her grandson today, so she wanted to vent.
"That's right, this guy didn't even explain himself clearly, and we made a wasted trip..."
Aunt Zhou was also full of complaints. She bought the meat to nourish her body, but unfortunately it was all gone now. "I think she did it on purpose."
…
The three of them complained all the way, and after returning, they wanted to find Lin Qing to settle the accounts.
After entering the yard, he went straight to their kitchen. However, just as he approached, before he could utter any questions, he saw Lin's mother chopping a large bone with a machete.
The powerful momentum immediately silenced the three men.
Mother Lin glared at them, and the three of them felt like the bones on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.
"What are you doing...?"
As he spoke, he chopped the bone on the chopping board with the machete in his hand, "Bang!"
"No...it's okay!" The three of them stepped back and disappeared from Lin's mother's sight.
Lin Qing had just bent down to fiddle with the firewood when he heard the sound. He looked up and saw the man running away, as if there was a ghost chasing him.
"Mom? What happened to them?" Lin Qing touched his head. "Just now they wanted to come to me... to settle the score?"
"Then why did you leave again?"
"Maybe he knows he is wrong!" Lin's mother glanced at the chopped bones on the chopping board and said casually.
"When did they become so reasonable?" Lin Qing muttered softly.
Aren't these people the kind of people who will make trouble even if they are unreasonable?
She was ready to start a war of words with them!
Who is here at the end of the tunnel and they escape without a fight?
It's really weird!
Lin Qing quickly put them out of her mind. After her mother chopped the bones, she made room for her. Lin Qing cleaned the casserole and put the big bones and radishes into the casserole to stew.
Lin Qing and her mother were well prepared and had already closed the kitchen door and windows, but even so, the strong aroma of meat still wafted out.
Almost everyone inside and outside the yard could smell it and couldn't help swallowing their saliva. It was so fragrant.
Several mothers gnashed their teeth in anger, "If I had been notified earlier, I would have been able to buy it."
"Ahhh! This little bitch only knows how to eat alone!"
"Why can't young people show some humility to the elderly?"
