Chapter 41: Stealing the Sauce Pork Knuckle

"Hey, looking at Fourth Brother's wife, she must have earned a lot, right? Why is it that only Xue'er bought candied haws? What about the others?" Liu Chunhua said sourly.

"If you have the ability to earn your own money, you should spend it yourself. How dare you ask for money?" Nian Huayue took the basket off Shen Yuefu and found that it was heavy. "What's in it?"

"Nothing special, I just bought a pork elbow in sauce."

"What are you doing here?" Old Mrs. Liang came in to see if the rice was steamed, and saw Liu Chunhua acting suspiciously inside.

Liu Chunhua was so frightened by her that the flesh hidden in her sleeves almost fell to the ground.

"Nothing... nothing. My fourth sister-in-law bought a pork elbow with soy sauce. I'm going to bring it to the kitchen and steam it. It will taste better when I eat it. But it seems that there is not much meat in it. I don't know if it was originally like this or if my fourth sister-in-law got hungry on the way back."

What this means is that Shen Yuefu ate the braised pork elbow on the way back.

Old Mrs. Liang looked at her greasy mouth and didn't bother to say anything to her. She just told her to leave and not to get in trouble here.

As soon as Liu Chunhua went out, Nian Huayue and Wang Xifen came in.

"Mom, didn't I tell you to take a rest and let us cook? Why are you in the kitchen again?"

"Yeah, it's just the two of us here."

The two sisters-in-law helped Mrs. Liang to sit at the table, and then went back to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"Why does this pork elbow with sauce look a little weird?" Wang Xifen was excited to take the pork elbow with sauce to steam it, but she found that it had become much shrunk.

When I lifted the skin, I found that the meat inside had been removed.

"It must have been Liu Chunhua who did it! I knew I shouldn't have given the braised pork elbow to her!" Nian Huayue was extremely angry.

But at this point, most of the evidence has already gone into Liu Chunhua's stomach. If we confront her, she will definitely not admit it.

When Liang Huanxue saw Liu Chunhua coming out of the kitchen from outside, she knew that she must have not missed the braised pork elbow.

Not only was his mouth covered in oil, but the oil on his sleeves was dripping down his head. He really took a lot of it.

Liang Huanxue would not let her take advantage of this, so she caught two carnivorous poisonous insects from the space.

As soon as the poisonous insect smelled the scent of Liu Chunhua's flesh, it flew in front of her.

The two poisonous insects were the size of thumbs, and they frightened Liu Chunhua so much that she shuddered.

She wanted to dodge, but the poisonous insect kept chasing her and stung her face several times, making her scream in pain.

"Aunt, do you have any meat on you? I think these are flesh-eating bugs. If you throw the meat off, they won't chase you anymore."

Liang Huanxue’s “kind reminder”.

How could Liu Chunhua throw away the meat so easily after getting it with great difficulty?

So she forced herself to go back to the room and closed the door.

Keep the two bugs out of the door.

Liang Huanxue also didn't expect that Liu Chunhua would endure the pain of being bitten by poisonous insects for those few bites of meat.

The insecticide has not yet fully taken effect.

If she waits any longer, her head will swell like a pig's.

Then she will know how powerful it is.

Liang Huanxue took the two poisonous insects back into the space and went to the kitchen to help.

Dinner was ready soon.

Everyone sat around the table, even Liang Weijiang was there, but Liu Chunhua was nowhere to be seen.

"It seems that you are full of the braised pork elbow and don't plan to eat anymore?" Nian Huayue felt her teeth itching with hatred when she thought about the big hole she had made in the braised pork elbow.

"Third brother, go call her to come for dinner." Old Mrs. Liang didn't want Liu Chunhua to turn around and say that they only cared about themselves and didn't call her.

Liang Yuanshan stood up, went back to his yard and called out, but received no response.

He walked forward again, and when he reached the window, he reached out and knocked. "It's time to eat, what are you waiting for?"

"You guys eat, I'm not hungry." Liu Chunhua finally responded.

But something was not right.

Liang Yuanshan wanted to push the door open to take a look, but he couldn't.

"What are you doing in the house? Open the door! Did you really eat the pork elbow?"

He pushed the door a few more times but it didn't open, so he went back to the window and pushed it open.

The scene before him scared him.

If the person inside hadn't been wearing Liu Chunhua's clothes, he probably wouldn't have dared to recognize her.

His head was as swollen as a pig's head and his lips were as swollen as sausages, so his voice sounded strange when he spoke.

"You...what's wrong with you?" Liang Yuanshan hesitated for a long time before asking.

"I was bitten by a bug." Liu Chunhua said hesitantly.

Of course she didn't dare to say that it was because she hid the meat and was reluctant to throw it away that she was chased and bitten by the insects.

She originally thought it would just hurt a few times, but who knew those two bugs were so poisonous that her face became so swollen that she didn't even dare to go out to see anyone.

"Do you want to ask the second aunt of the Feng family to come and take a look at you?" Liang Yuanshan asked.

The second aunt of the Feng family studied medicine. She could cure any headache or fever suffered by the villagers.

"No need, I just need a good sleep." Liu Chunhua felt that she couldn't afford to lose face in front of this person.

If the second aunt of the Feng family really saw her like this, I'm afraid everyone in the village would know about it.

"Then I'll go have dinner." Liang Yuanshan heard her say this and thought that her condition should not be too serious.

It just looks scary.

"Don't tell them that I've become like this. Just say... my stomach feels uncomfortable, so I don't want to eat." Liu Chunhua didn't want the Liang family to know her current condition.

They will definitely line up to see the joke.

"Okay." Liang Yuanshan closed the window, turned around and left.

When he returned to the dinner table, Liu Chunhua's face was still in his mind, and he felt that the braised pork elbow did not taste good at all.

"Why didn't you come?" Old Mrs. Liang asked when she saw that there was no one following him.

"She said her stomach was uncomfortable and she didn't want to eat. Let's eat and ignore her," Liang Yuanshan replied.

Old Lady Liang was puzzled, "Did he really steal the pork elbow?"

"Who else could it be but her? When I brought the pork elbow back, it was heavy! But after she took it to the kitchen, it was much lighter when I took it out again. Her sleeves were soaked with grease!"

Nian Huayue said indignantly.

Shen Yuefu had earned some money with great difficulty and bought some braised pork elbows for her family to eat. However, she ended up wasting half of it.

It's really abominable.

"Alright, alright, stop talking. Just eat. She won't admit it even if you go find her now." Old Mrs. Liang was too lazy to bother with these little things.

But what is her little granddaughter laughing at?

"I'll get her a steamed bun later."

"I'll go, you go practice calligraphy."

"Okay then." Liang Huanxue said this, but what she was thinking was that she had to find a way to go over and watch the joke no matter what.

After dinner, the sisters-in-law cleaned up the dishes and planned to go find Liu Chunhua to get things clear.

Seeing this, Liang Huanxue followed them.
