Li Cuihua and Zhang Juhua were also drooling with greed. How long had it been since they had eaten meat?
I finally managed to kill a wild boar and thought I could gain some weight, but I didn't expect to become so thin.
The whole family only got two taels, which was not enough to even get a piece. Li Cuihua was a little anxious at the moment, "Old man, did you cut it wrong? We have quite a few heads in the Lu family, and these two taels of meat are really not enough to eat. Besides, the wild boar was hunted by my brother, so it's not appropriate to divide it this way, right?"
There were still quite a few people queuing behind her. When they heard Li Cuihua's words, they also became anxious, fearing that they would not be able to reach them. They rushed to say, "Why are you wasting your time here? Your brother killed the wild boar, but how do you treat your brother? Don't you have any sense of justice?"
"What's the point of talking about affection here? You two families have already separated. If you want it, leave quickly. Otherwise, don't delay us. There is still work waiting for you in the fields."
"That's right, it's already so late and you're still here chatting. If you don't want to eat, get out. We're still waiting for dinner to start. Don't ruin everyone's appetite."
"Mr. Lu, are you still going to eat or not? If not, let us choose first. Your son beat you, but he didn't give you much, which means he treats everyone equally. I think little Lu did a good job. Some people should not be spoiled."
The sarcastic voices of these people made Old Lady Lu even more angry. She threw the meat on the ground and started crying loudly, "I won't live anymore. You people are bullying me. My son killed the wild boar. I don't care. You must cut two pounds for me as compensation today, otherwise no one can eat it. I..."
Before Mrs. Lu could finish her words, the old butcher's axe chopped directly at her hand. Mrs. Lu shuddered with fear, and when she looked up and saw the old butcher's gloomy and cruel face, she immediately stopped wailing.
"Will you carry the meat and leave, or should I ask you to leave?"
Don't act tough in front of him. You've been slaughtering pigs for the team over the years and have seen all kinds of people. How dare you act so arrogantly with him? You really think you are serious.
This time, Xiao Lu came to him in person, fearing that the old woman would act tough, but he didn't expect that he had actually predicted it.
Old Mrs. Lu didn't dare to make any more trouble. She picked up the mud-covered pork and walked away in shame.
The other members of the Lu family quickly followed, and the old butcher then told the others to continue getting the meat.
Many people pointed at Old Lady Lu and whispered to each other, and the Lu family's reputation became even worse.
Along the way, Lu Weiguo said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, I'm almost with Chen Zhiqing, you embarrassed me today, how can I hold my head up in front of her?
Don't forget, she's from the city. Isn't this embarrassing for her? When has our Lu family ever lacked food and drink? As long as Chen Jing and I can succeed, you'll be a city lady in the future. Why bother with country people? They're all short-sighted and can only see the short-term benefits in front of them. Sooner or later, our Lu family will all move to the city. Those people are not worth wasting your energy on. "
Although he said that, he was not sure in his heart. Old Mrs. Lu glanced at him and had some inexplicable distrust of her son.
"You have a good relationship with Chen Zhiqing, but you never give me anything. Don't you eat all the good things? If I, an old woman, don't make ends meet, I'll starve to death.
San'er, you've been my favorite since childhood, and I've always done everything for you. Now I'm old and can't do much, so it's fine if you don't help me, but now you think I'm embarrassing you. I'm just trying to get you some meat to eat so I can save my energy. This kind of work requires help, and I'm sure Chen Zhiqing will understand. After all, we're both daughters-in-law of the Lu family, so you can't look down on me, right? "
Old Mrs. Lu no longer had the plumpness she once had. Her face was full of wrinkles and her complexion was sallow, like that of a malnourished old woman.
Lu Weiguo was finally speechless. He knew that Old Lady Lu felt sorry for him, but she didn't give him any real benefits. She only talked about it, but he didn't dare to say it now.
"Songkou coaxed: "Mom, don't worry, I have already made an agreement with Chen Zhiqing. As long as I go to the city, I will definitely take you and Dad to live a good life. I will definitely not forget you."
Speaking of this, Old Man Lu was still a little angry, his face tense, "What are you planning? If you really want to go back to the city with Chen Jing, you have to understand that once you enter the Chen family, you are a live-in son-in-law.
You will never be able to hold your head up high in the village, and others will stab you in the back and scold you. Chen Jing is a girl who can endure hardships, so why not negotiate to let her marry in? Our family will not treat her unfairly. "
Old man Lu has only a few sons, and the one he values most is Lu Weiguo. If Lu Weiguo really marries into the Chen family, how will he still have the face to stay in the village?
Others kept mocking him behind his back, and he couldn't bear the strange looks they gave him, so he could never calmly accept that Lu Weiguo and Chen Jing had a further relationship.
It's a pity that the son he raised has no conscience and only thinks about himself.
Lu Weiguo now wants to go back to the city with Chen Jing because he can't continue working in the fields.
Thinking that he would never be able to go to the city and could only dig for food in the fields, a feeling of despair filled his heart. He had to turn things around and not be ridiculed for the rest of his life.
She coaxed Old Man Lu and said, "She's the only daughter of the Chen family. We must go back and be filial to her. Dad, I'm not marrying into the Chen family's family. The Chen family said that as long as the marriage is successful, I can take you over. Then the family will be there, and at least there will be someone to take care of you. I can also be filial to you and mother. Wouldn't that mean we can have a cheap house to live in and don't have to work in the fields? The Chen family will take care of the food and household registration, and we guarantee that you and mother won't starve."
Anyway, Lu Weiguo firmly believed in the big promise made by the Chen family. These people wanted to enter the city so badly that even the always cunning and thoughtful old lady Lu hesitated.
"Son, are you serious? If the Chen family really said that, then if they really let me go to the city with them, it would be only natural for you to honor his parents.
After all, Chen Jing is a city girl, how can I bully her? As long as she gives you a big fat grandson, I will help you support her. You are not young anymore, it is time for you to have a son. "
This is what Old Lady Lu is most worried about. Now that the family is controlled by Gu Qingning, it is not entirely possible to find a good daughter-in-law for her son.
Chen Jing is the best choice now, and she hopes that they can get together.
The issue of marrying into the wife's family had been a thorn in my throat, but now I feel relieved.
As long as I eat well and don’t suffer, what’s wrong with that?
Her son is thinking about her, and she will follow Lu Weiguo as long as he goes to the city. Anyway, she has to take care of his wife, and the village can't lock her up, right?
Old Mrs. Lu had been calculating very well and had already thought of a way out for herself. Unfortunately, Gu Qingning had already dug a trap for them and would definitely not let this family have a good life.
When Lu Weiguo heard what the two said, he knew that they had loosened up. He was very excited and planned to report the progress to Chen Jing later.
He was going to the city. He was finally going to have a job. He would no longer be a peasant digging in the fields for a living. He didn't want to do this kind of work that would make him faint for even a minute.
