Fortunately, the pork was chopped quickly.
Just as Wen Er said, the fat was mixed as much as possible and divided into two large piles.
One pile weighs about one pound, and another weighs about two pounds.
Those with more people carried one kilogram, and those with fewer people carried two kilograms. After everyone got the meat, they happily went home to cook it.
Among the crowd, Xiushui actually saw Gou Wa also coming to buy meat.
You know, he and his grandmother are notoriously poor.
"I, I want half a pound."
"Why are you thinking of buying meat?"
When Wen Er asked this question, he felt that it was a bit hurtful to the other person's self-esteem, so he quickly added another sentence.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just purely curious."
Gou Wa chuckled and shook his head. "It's okay, I know everyone's curious. Didn't I get two gold leaves last time I dug up a corpse?
Also, I was given some money when I joined the guard last time, so I have some scattered savings.
My grandma said that now is a time of famine and we have to live one day at a time. We need to be in good health to get through it.
So she said that since everyone eats meat, our family cannot be left out.
Now that we have food and meat, life is getting better and better!"
Many people also followed suit. "Yes, apart from those unexpected situations, our journey to escape the famine has been quite good."
"It's all thanks to the Wen family. If they hadn't been able to treat illnesses, would we have been able to do so smoothly?"
"Yes, yes, yes, and their family organized us to unite and fight together.
Moreover, we have those weapons. If it weren’t for those self-defense tools, how could Chief Luo find us?
Can we earn that kind of money from outsiders? So it was the Wen family who helped us. "
“The doctor is from the Wen family, the defensive weapons were a big help from the Wen family, and now the meat we eat is also from the Wen family.
If it weren't for the spirit appearing in Chen Dayou's body, I would have doubted that the Wen family was the Bodhisattva who saved us from danger."
"Anyway, even if she's not Pusa, she's pretty much the same. If anyone dares to say something bad about the Wen family again, I'll be furious with her."
The person who spoke also glanced at Old Lady Zheng.
The latter lowered his head and pretended not to see it, and did not dare to say a word.
The old lady listened to everyone's praise with a smile, and only bowed when she saw that it was almost done.
"You're welcome, everyone. We all worked together to escape the famine and reach our destination.
If we were to become a disunited group like everyone else, we would surely perish along the way. I am doing this for my family."
“But we all know that without your family’s efforts and advice, we would never have been able to get here.
Along the way, except for a few people who died of natural causes, even someone like Sanhua's father, who had a broken stomach, has survived so far.
Speaking of which, your family has really helped us a lot, and we feel at ease with you."
Gouwazi's grandmother's summary was unanimously agreed by everyone.
More people responded at this time, saying that anyone who dared to go against the Wen family would be against them.
Moreover, Lao Qian, Lao Li, the old village chief, and the Chu family, who all had the final say, actually spoke at the same time.
Ma Laojiu listened to and watched this scene, and clenched his fists again in anger.
But he just showed a look of resentment and someone started to stare at him.
"Hey, Uncle Jiu, you seem very angry?"
Wen Xiushui also looked at this person and sneered.
It was inevitable that Ma Laojiu would feel uneasy. After all, Yu was punished for not doing anything secretly. No one would feel comfortable about it.
Then he glanced at Old Lady Zheng who was sitting silently in the crowd. Speaking of which, Old Lady Zheng still occasionally acted like a demon after picking up the jade. Shouldn't she be given something to worry about?
I'm on a journey of fleeing famine, so it would be more fulfilling to watch some drama.
Her eyes turned around, and she waved to the little black girl and whispered something to her.
The little girl promised with shining eyes.
"Don't worry, sister. I will definitely handle this matter properly and will never let anyone know that we are the ones causing trouble in there."
"I believe you."
The simple words "I believe in you" made Hei Mei full of confidence.
She must complete the task assigned by her sister. Isn't it just leaking some information accidentally? Well, the child will definitely do it.
Ma Laojiu ate the meat with resentment in his heart. Although his wife still bought the meat, he had the illusion that he was eating the flesh of the Wen family.
The meat is really delicious. If it was the meat of the Wen family, it would probably taste even better.
His mouth was full of oil, but the woman beside him pouted and hummed in dissatisfaction.
"Master, the more I think about it, the more unlucky our family is. It was obviously not you who got the jade, but in the end it fell into your hands.
Not only do we have to work like slaves, but we are also being laughed at by others."
"Okay, let's just let this be bad luck."
"You can't just look at it that way, Boss. I heard that the jade was actually picked up by your aunt."
"What?"
The scene was too chaotic that day, so Ma Laojiu really couldn't remember the details.
However, Mrs. Zheng was mixed in and was pointed at and said to be in a panic. At that time, she just mumbled a few words and left.
He had always wondered whether he had ever come across the jade, or whether it had been picked up by someone in the chaos.
But every time he thought about it, his head hurt and he couldn't figure it out. Now that his wife mentioned Yu again, he couldn't keep calm.
"It's not that bad, Boss. You can't tell me how unfair it is for us. We clearly didn't touch the jade, but when we were punished, the price of the jade was included in our calculations.
Otherwise, why are we still collecting firewood for the Wen family? It's your aunt who got the jade, but she blames us for it. Your aunt is the same. She doesn't care at all when her nephew suffers. Humph... I said she's mean, but you don't believe me.
Ma Laojiu's face looked very ugly. He certainly knew that his wife's complaints about his aunt should not be fully believed.
However, if Ruoyu was really picked up by his own aunt and she kept pretending to be ignorant, he would not be able to swallow this.
"How do you know for sure the jade was on her? There were so many people there that night, and whoever found it wouldn't dare to say anything."
"Bah, what else can I say? I heard her precious grandson making trouble for her, saying that she had money but didn't buy him candy or meat.
Your aunt said she had no money, so her eldest grandson started yelling that she had clearly found the jade, but she was hiding it and refusing to exchange it for food..."
Ma Laojiu felt that the meat was no longer fragrant.
His good aunt actually got his jade. True, he didn't get the jade, but his aunt did, and it was snatched from him.
Thinking about how his family had been punished for that piece of jade, and the various looks from the villagers, his eyes widened with anger.
"Boss, we can't let this go on. You have to get the jade back. If you get it back, we won't have to work for the Wen family anymore."
In other words, we now have this jade in our hands, and when we settle down in the future, our whole family will have a place to live."
