Chapter 3: Marrying for meat?



The Su family's kitchen was built in a small house in the backyard.

Su Erhe didn't know what happened in the yard in front. He was sweeping the floor with a broom, thinking about going out for a walk in the afternoon. He had to get some meat to eat. His stomach had been dry for a long time and his stool was stuck and he couldn't defecate.

I feel so anxious.

"Brother He Zheng, if you don't believe me, come and see. I really didn't lie to you."

The young man's clear voice was heard, and two figures appeared in the backyard of the Su family, one in front and one behind. He Zheng turned his eyes around and saw Su Erhe bending over to sweep the floor. He was wearing the most ordinary white shirt and blue cloth pants with fat and big legs. Most likely, they were made by Su's mother using her own clothes.

The hem of his shirt was also wide, and Su Erhe felt it was a hindrance when he was working, so he tucked the hem of his shirt into his waistband.

So from He Zheng's perspective, the girl had such a small waist that he could almost hold it with one hand.

What's wrong with feeling thirsty suddenly?

"Brother, Brother He Zheng," Su Xiatian called out several times from the side, but He Zheng didn't even respond. He had no choice but to stretch out his hand and wave in front of He Zheng.

He Zheng knocked his hand away, but fortunately his soul came back.

"Brother, the bucket is in the kitchen."

Su Xiatian pointed to the small house on the left and thought to herself that Brother He Zheng was obviously looking for an excuse to visit his sister, so why was he talking about the bucket? Why didn't he even look at the bucket?

snort!

Virtue!

He Zheng tilted his head and took a symbolic look. Sure enough, there were two buckets stacked together. "Su Erhe, I clearly saw you put your bucket..."

"Oh," Su Erhe lied without changing his expression, "I saw that the bucket was cracked, so I simply took it apart, took it home to repair it, and made a new one."

She just lied.

What else can we do?

She really couldn't control her temper at the time, and it was too late to regret it now. She could only lie shamelessly.

They wouldn't ask her to make another bucket on the spot, would they?

"Sister, you are so amazing. You can even make bucket hoops." Su Xiatian was quite supportive.

Su Erhe also had to be more modest, "Luck, luck, it was just a random thing."

She also saw the bucket in He Zheng's hand. Even if He Zheng really brought the bucket to their family, she would not accept it. Since she didn't plan to have any involvement with He Zheng, she shouldn't enjoy the efforts of others.

How immoral!

He Zheng was completely ignored once again. Su Xiatian was a little confused about her sister's thoughts and could only try her best to smooth things over. "Brother He Zheng, why don't you take the bucket back? There are only two buckets in your family. If you're missing one...will your auntie beat you up?"

Being ignored twice in one day, He Zheng was in a bad mood. "Who told you I was delivering a bucket to your house? I was going to fetch water!"

"……oh."

If you say so, then so be it!

He Zheng picked up the bucket and left. The heartless woman made him angry just by looking at her. Although he said so, he did not walk fast at all, and his feet were hesitant. He was the "future son-in-law" and he came to the family. Did this family understand the rules and invite him to dinner?

"Sister, should we invite Brother He Zheng to dinner?"

Su Xiatian is a good guy, very sensible.

He Zheng pricked up his ears, thinking that if they asked, he might consider staying.

"No, we didn't cook his meal at home."

Su Erhe put the broom against the wall and walked back to the kitchen. It was almost time to get off work, so she wanted to serve the dishes.

As soon as I stepped into the kitchen, I heard an angry voice coming from the front room.

"Who cares about a bowl of rice from your family?"

"Brother He Zheng hasn't left yet?"

Su Xiatian was also shocked.

If it weren't for this voice, Su Erhe would have thought that He Zheng had left long ago.

Su Xiatian was also startled and chased to the front yard, where she saw He Zheng walking away carrying a wooden barrel.

He scratched his head and went back to the kitchen. "Sister, don't be fooled by Brother He Zheng's fierce appearance. He's actually a very good person."

"Are you interested in him?"

Su Erhe said this jokingly.

Su Xiatian jumped back anxiously, "You're talking nonsense."

Su Erhe didn't say anything more. After all, there should be a limit to jokes. He served the rice and dishes and just put them on the table when the three people from the Su family who went to work also arrived home.

"How's the water bucket at home? Is it broken?" Mother Su was concerned about the water bucket at home. "If it's cracked, ask your father to fix it. As long as it doesn't leak, it can still be used."

"Mom, it's okay. The bucket is not broken. I fixed it."

Su Xiatian spoke too quickly, and Su Erhe couldn't stop her, so she could only watch Su's mother look at her in surprise, "It turns out that my girl can also repair buckets. Not bad, not bad, it's also a skill."

Su Erhe pursed his lips awkwardly.

This is a big misunderstanding.

I hope Su's mother is a tight-lipped person, otherwise...

If someone comes to her and asks her to repair a bucket in the future, can she make one for them on the spot?

The family sat down to eat. Most of the rice in the bowl was corn grits, and only a small part was white rice. What they had eaten yesterday had not been digested yet, so Suerhe did not serve himself too much rice. He had to eat some, but he really couldn't eat too much.

"Big sister,"

Su Erhe had heard this name several times but was still not used to it. When she looked up, she saw her brother Su Dongtian looking at her. Su Dongtian had a very handsome appearance, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He didn't talk much. He was already twenty-one years old this year and had a very calm personality.

He held the bowl in one hand and the chopsticks in the other, "Give me the corn grits in your bowl, and I'll give you the white rice in my bowl."

"Sister, I'll give you mine too." Su Xiatian followed suit.

Mother Su looked at her two sons and wanted to say something but held back.

Su Erhe is not a person who is easily moved by tears, but when he looked at the bowl of white rice in the bowl, his eyes became a little moist.

She thought of the lonely egg in the space. She had originally planned to eat it alone, but now she felt that she could divide it into three parts.

After dinner, everyone took a nap. After all, they had been doing physical work for half a day and had to go back to work in the afternoon, so they were very tired.

Su Erhe was washing dishes in the kitchen.

She had only been here for one day. The original owner couldn't stand the huge differences and living habits between the city and the countryside when she returned home. She couldn't adapt after being here for a few days and died of depression. Then she came, and she was definitely panicked.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so angry when I was fetching water in the morning.

But since we are here and can’t go back, we have to go on with our lives.

After washing the dishes, she went back to her room.

She knew that the original owner, Du Ruoyun, had saved up about two hundred yuan, but unfortunately she wasn't allowed to take it out. As for the original owner...

The room was very small, with a wooden bed, an old table next to it, and two boxes of clothes. She had already searched through them all and found a half-worn quilt, patched sheets, and a few sets of clothes, all of which were worn out. She didn't find a penny, and wondered if she had taken them away when she returned to the Du family.

What should I do if I have no money and no ticket?

Now that you're here, you can't go back. What do you think you should do?

Su Erhe is not the type of person who will sit and wait for death. He wants to make full use of all the available resources around him.

"Su Xiatian, come out."

In the middle of the day, the brother and sister hid in the corner.

"Sister, what are you doing sneaking around like that?"

"Let me ask you something. Did anyone in our village buy meat today?" Su Erhe couldn't tell her the real purpose and could only ask indirectly.

"Who would buy meat during festivals? However, the He family might have some. He's second uncle works in a slaughterhouse and often brings back some leftovers. Sister, are you craving meat? That's easy. If you marry Brother He Zheng, you can have meat to eat. Hey, sister, why did you hit me?" Su Xiatian touched the place where her head was hit and felt very wronged.

"If I don't hit you, who else should I hit? Am I marrying just to eat meat?"

Is she so worthless?

Su Xiatian covered her mouth.

Having said that, Su Erhe grasped an important piece of information from Su Xiatian's short words. The slaughterhouse should be where pigs are killed, so there must be pork everywhere.

If she could go...

If we use space to copy a few more times, wouldn’t we have endless pork to eat?

"I'm asking you, where is that slaughterhouse? Take me there to see it."

"If you really want to buy pork, do you have money? Besides, there is no one in the slaughterhouse now. It seems that the pigs are slaughtered before dawn in the morning and then sent to grocery stores and meat stalls. I am not particularly clear about the details. You should ask Brother He Zheng." Su Xiatian kept talking about He Zheng.

"Don't ask anymore. Tomorrow you must get up early and take me to the slaughterhouse. Also, don't let my parents and my eldest brother know about this. Don't tell He Zheng either."

That night, Su Erhe slept very soundly. Her dreams were all about pork, and she had no time to eat it.

I never thought that one day, Su Erhe would be so worried about her second senior brother that she would want to die!

You are really getting more and more successful!

A little after four in the morning, Suerhe got up quietly, tidied himself up casually, put on his clothes and went out.

As for whether she loves beauty or not, not to mention that she has no money, even if she has money, she cannot buy beautiful clothes.

At this time, we need to highlight one characteristic: simplicity, simplicity!

The room was quiet. I don’t know if Su Xiatian hadn’t gotten up yet or what.

Su Erhe stood at the corner waiting, but Su Xiatian didn't show up. Instead, she saw a beam of flashlight coming from far away. When it got closer, she could vaguely see that it was someone riding a bicycle with a flashlight tied to the handlebars. When it got closer, the bicycle stopped beside her, and she saw He Zheng.

He Zheng supported himself on one foot.

"Su Xiatian said you were going to the slaughterhouse, but he didn't know the way, so he asked me to take you there."

Su, Xia, Tian!

Su Erhe gritted his teeth secretly and decided not to share the eggs with him!

"What are you standing there for? Come up!"
