Chapter 212 Yes, our family is ungrateful
Mrs. Cao was so embarrassed when someone pointed her out that she was shaking with anger. She pointed at Mrs. Qin and kept calling her "you, you".
The two brothers Cao Wenzhu and Cao Qingzhu were surrounded by a group of women, and their fair faces turned red with embarrassment.
Of course they knew that grandma was getting a bargain by buying it this way. Even if it could be sold in the city, the price would be different and would definitely be much higher. But who made the Lei family part of their family?
Besides, if they bought it, the Lei family would have to carry less goods to the city to sell, saving effort.
Cao Wenzhu calmed down and retorted, "The Lei family didn't say anything, so what does it have to do with you?"
"If the Lei family doesn't tell you, you're going to keep doing it? Do you have to wait for others to tell you directly?
Well, today I, an old woman, like to meddle in other people's business. You all know that this is taking advantage of others, so just tell me how to buy it.
If you buy normally, we will give you some, but if you buy like you did just now, then we will buy it all. "Grandma Qin felt that living to her age was also very beneficial. At least when others relied on their age to bully others, they could stand up for them and no one could use their age to bully them!
The three members of the Cao family hummed and hummed without saying a word, taking the opportunity to look at the Lei family.
As long as the seller says they can buy it, why not?
Moreover, the Lei family has always been honest and easy to talk to. They will definitely not let them be in such an embarrassing situation and will definitely come out to smooth things over.
Then, they will use this as an opportunity to fight back!
Liu Cuihua was afraid that the boss would try to smooth things over, so she almost pulled his sleeve.
Boss Lei shook his head at her imperceptibly.
They had not said it directly in the past out of friendship among fellow villagers, but later the Cao family kept buying things like this, and it became a routine. Their implicit meaning was to take care of their business and reduce their burden on the way to the city.
They were too shy to speak out, but now Granny Qin was standing up for them and protecting their interests. If he went out to smooth things over and say nice things, he would be stabbing Granny Qin in the back and chilling everyone's heart.
The other members of the Lei family breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that their patriarch, Boss Lei, did not show up.
They had wanted to abandon the Cao family for a long time, but every time the elders used social connections, face, friendship and other things to pressure them. Today, Dad finally got it!
Congratulations! The only bad thing is that Granny Qin is made the villain.
No, this is their own family affair, how can I let Granny Qin take the blame if I don't act like a villain...
Lei Dafu stood up.
The eyes of the three Cao family members lit up.
Lei Dafu has some friendship with Cao Junzhu, the eldest grandson of the Cao family. For Cao Junzhu's sake, he cannot embarrass his family like this.
The three of them looked at Granny Qin with a hint of pride in their expressions.
"Grandma Cao, we've thought about it. Even if Granny Qin and the others don't buy everything, we can't sell it the way you said.
This is our Lei family's idea, and has nothing to do with others." Lei Dafu looked at the three people from the Cao family and said seriously.
The expressions of the three generations of the Cao family suddenly changed. Mrs. Cao looked up at Lei Dafu with narrowed eyes and said earnestly: "Dafu, you can't cross the river and burn the bridge.
We bought your prey because we felt sorry for you young people who had to drive for several hours to the city to sell your prey, and might not be able to sell it.
Otherwise, my family has money, so where can I buy meat?"
Lei Dafu was accused, but his tall and strong body remained unmoved. His face remained calm and he said bluntly, "Yes, my family is ungrateful."
Cao Wenzhu and Cao Qingzhu: ...I always feel that this is ironic.
Mrs. Cao: ...How can she respond to this!
Seeing his eldest son’s statement, Boss Lei suddenly felt that rejecting people was not as difficult as he had imagined. Why did he find it so difficult in the past?
Mrs. Cao looked at Boss Lei, who was still not coming out, and sneered, "Okay, okay, grandson, let's go. We won't buy it!"
Cao Qingzhu turned around and left without hesitation.
Cao Wenzhu raised her eyes hesitantly and whispered, "Grandma, how will this end if things get too chaotic?"
The main thing is that I want to eat fresh meat, but isn't that only available at the Lei family? Do I have to go to the city to buy meat every time?
It was difficult and tiring for the Lei family to make a round trip. Even with a donkey cart, it would not be easy for them to make a round trip.
Mrs. Cao winked and said confidently, "I know the financial resources of these people. Just wait patiently. Before tomorrow, the Lei family will come to ask us to buy it."
Although Cao Wenzhu didn't believe it, he looked at his grandmother's confident look and turned around and left.
After the three Cao family members left, everyone in the Lei family, young and old, men, women, and children, breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Ting and Ma Pan, who had been tense all the time, looked at each other and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but rise.
The other people in the family don't like Mrs. Cao, but the two of them are really afraid of her.
For some reason, whenever they saw Mrs. Cao, they couldn't help but tremble all over, and they trembled even more when they heard her speak.
Lei Lao San carried the wild boar onto a thick wooden board, holding a bone-chopping knife and asked with a smile: "How many do you want?"
Now that the Cao family is gone, they can tell the truth.
Zhao Mingyue thought Lei Laosan didn't remember it, so she said it again quickly.
Lei Lao San stumbled and asked, "Is what you just said true? Aren't you trying to help us out?"
This time it was Zhao Mingyue and his group who were confused.
So the Lei family thought they were there to rescue them?
Jiang Ying smiled and said, "Of course not. We've been so busy lately. We're so tired and exhausted, so of course we need to eat some meat to replenish our body."
"You may have a lot of prey, but there are more of us than you. Each family can only get 100 to 180 kilograms of meat. Each of our families has more than 10 to 20 people, so there are only a few kilograms left for each person.
You have to be careful about how you eat. If you're like Shen Qing's family, who are willing to put in meat, it will be finished in three to five days! "Li E calculated in a good mood.
Apart from the very small babies, even the stomachs of teenagers are like bottomless pits, and no matter how much they eat, it is never enough.
But this time it was different. Only a small amount was left to make preserved meat, and the rest was added to the three meals so that the family could enjoy it to their heart's content.
The Lei family knew that every household in the village had income from selling medicinal herbs, but they didn't expect that the income would bring such great benefits to their families!
Liu Cuihua was the first to react and greeted enthusiastically: "Head of the family, you and the second and third brothers go chop the pork;
The richest, the second richest, and the third richest, go and deal with the sheep;
Dagui, you guys go divide up the pheasants, rabbits, roe deer and musk deer;
Daman, you guys clean up the cart and help the aunties and sisters get it down the mountain later!"
The many men who were originally watching immediately became more determined and dispersed to get back to work.
Liu Cuihua was delighted to think that all she needed to do was sell a head of venison quickly - the hides were all nitrated before being sold at a high price, so there was no need to rush.
But the deer is fine. Dafu can just take it to the city tomorrow. It won’t be too tiring if it weighs over 200 pounds.
In the past, we would rest for seven or eight days after going deep into the mountains. One reason was that we were afraid that the animals would not relax after frequent trips.
Secondly, they have to process the prey after coming back and take it to the city to sell it with great effort. This will take two or three days, and after the prey is finished, they also need to rest.
This time it’s good. The men can take two days off and help wash the astragalus, which can also increase the work speed.
After a round trip, the boss is the most tired.
