Gu Qingning and Lu Changqing thanked the villagers who came to help.
They divided up the pig, and the villagers naturally stopped being jealous of them. Instead, they were especially grateful to them, and everyone who ate the meat had a happy smile on their face.
Gu Qingning felt inexplicably sad watching this.
Everyone's face was pale. The village was so poor that they couldn't even eat meat on a daily basis.
Although everyone had some extra income after making clothes with her, they were still reluctant to spend the money on snacks and spent it on other things.
"We would rather be nicer to the old ox at home than to ourselves. We are still too poor!" Gu Qingning couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Changqing also nodded: "But don't worry, I always have a premonition that the country will not let us continue like this. One day we will live a happy and fulfilling life!"
Gu Qingning felt relieved and quickly held his hand.
However, most people in the village just ate a few pieces of meat, drank a few sips of soup, and then prepared to leave.
Gu Qingning was a little surprised and quickly urged everyone to eat more: "There's so much meat, we, the young couple and our two children can't finish it all. If you don't eat more, the meat will go bad!"
Everyone felt embarrassed.
"The meat won't go bad. Once it snows, it'll freeze if you leave it out overnight. You can then pickle it and make braised meat or sausages. We still have so many small intestines here, they're guaranteed to be delicious and fragrant. You can even eat them all year long!"
"Wild boar meat is different from domestic pork. It's tougher and chewier, so it won't be very tasty when made into sausages. It's better to eat fresh ones, which are more comfortable."
When my aunt heard this, she couldn't help but grab her hand.
"Qing Ning, you're an educated youth from the city. Even if you treated us to a meal, we wouldn't be able to eat it. Whose family can afford so much meat? If we eat too much, how are we going to pay it back later?"
Most people in the village still have very simple ideas.
They came to help with the slaughtering of the pig, so it was only natural for them to eat a few bites of the meat, but if they ate too much, it would be very impolite.
Only when the whole family comes over will they be given a piece of meat, which is reserved for the children. The adults don’t eat it. This situation is very common.
Gu Qingning felt sad, but also felt that it was really worth it.
"Thank you, aunties, but we still have to finish the meat we prepared today. If you can't finish it, take it back and give it to the children as a snack!"
She forced each of them to eat a piece of meat and took some back for the children.
Everyone was grateful and everyone was smiling.
Of course, not far away, there was a man eating and drinking.
"Really? You still think you're the lost lord from the old days? You're just a few pieces of broken meat, but you really think you're a big shot! You're just treating beggars like that!"
As he spoke, he quickly picked up a few pieces of meat, stuffed them into his mouth, and started chewing them.
Everyone looked and saw that it was Boss Lu.
"Oh my god, who did I think he was? Isn't this Boss Lu who just lost his job? Weren't you so cocky working in the city before? Why do you have to run to the countryside to steal other people's meat when you want to eat a piece of meat now?"
Aunt Li laughed as soon as she saw it, and couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.
Boss Lu's eyes were red as he roared, "Lu Changqing is courting death by going into the mountains at this hour, causing the entire village to go looking for him. So what if we eat two pieces of their meat? It's as if we're not eating wild boar meat, but their meat!"
"Have some shame, there's only one pig here, and it's not enough for the young couple to share. If you eat like this, how will they even eat meat? They just had a baby, and it's fine if you don't give them a gift, but you even went to their house to feast and eat. You're so shameless at your age!"
Boss Lu couldn't stand it anymore when he heard it, and started waving his fists at the crowd.
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll pull out your tongue! Who the hell is Lu Changqing? He's just a gigolo. He has to rely on his own woman to save him. How shameless!"
The aunts around laughed when they heard it.
"You are useless, and you still have the nerve to talk about Lu Changqing! He at least killed a wild boar, what do you have? If he hadn't been trying to save Li Laosi, would he have been injured?
Besides, the Chairman has already said that women hold up half the sky. How dare you look down on us women? Beat him with your shoe soles!
Before he could finish his words, a group of young wives and aunts started slapping him in the face with the soles of their shoes.
Boss Lu was furious at first and wanted to punch all these women away.
"You bitches, you actually dared to hit a man! I tell you, I am your junior brother, you should be trampled under my feet, bitch!"
Before he could finish his words, pairs of shoe soles came slamming down on his face.
"Come on, keep talking! It's fine if you hit your wife, but do you want to hit us too? You're such a bully! You're useless! You coward!"
The aunts' fighting power is obviously stronger than those young wives.
They stripped him naked.
"Look, look, you've aged like this, that part is as soft as an earthworm, and you still have the nerve to say that! It really makes me laugh to death!"
Being stripped naked in public, Boss Lu's face turned purple with anger.
The key point is that he was humiliated so badly that he was going crazy.
No matter how he scolded these women, they would attack him more violently.
His face was swollen from being beaten, and he had no choice but to run home, still nagging, "I'll tell your husband about what happened today, and he'll beat you to death!"
The women erupted in laughter.
Gu Qingning also cheered beside him: "Well done, beautifully done!"
Li Laosi's injury healed quickly, and Li Huan was about to give birth.
Gu Qingning made several pieces of clothing for her that she could wear after giving birth, and also customized tiger-head hats and shoes for her child.
It is a small one, but it looks so beautiful that it melts people's hearts.
"I heard from Brother Lu that you are planning to go to Beijing, right?"
Gu Qingning nodded.
Li Huan felt a little regretful: "I was hoping to hold the baby in my arms and show it to you when the time comes!"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely come find you when I get back. By then, I'll be the child's godmother, and no one will be able to snatch it from me!"
