The peasant girl who escaped the famine: pick up the leak and pick up a prince

Chapter 23 Good Persimmon Feeds the Dog
The market in Luhua Town is so lively every day. Old Wu from the Wuji Butcher Shop is wearing a coarse cloth and an apron that is greasy and stained with blood. Separate half of the pork into one piece.

Although the current price of pork is not high, it is still prohibitive for ordinary people.

Although there is still a little meat at home, if you want pork, you'd better ask for some bones, so Yu Maimai came to the butcher shop again.

Old Wutou said with a smile: "Oh, you've made money again. You're here to buy meat. What meat do you want today?"

Old Wutou picked up the bright machete and got ready to cut the meat.

In the past, all Yu Maimai wanted was pork belly, so he brought a little lard home. Not only did he eat meat, cooking with lard was also very good, and in the current era of lack of food, eating lard would not make him hungry.

Yu Maimai pointed to some ribs beside him and said, "Give me two catties!"

Old Wu took a look, and said in surprise: "I want to eat bones, ah, yes, it seems that I made money today?"

Yu Maimai smiled slightly, and the old Wutou chopped the meat, weighed it, it was exactly two catties, no more, no less, the butcher's technique was really precise.

After counting the money, he handed the money to old Wutou, who swiftly took a handful of lard from the wooden board, stuffed it into the bone, and said with a smile, "These lards are for you. The next time you want to eat meat, come to my place."

Yu Maimai took the meat and said happily: "Thank you, I like people who do business honestly. Once I recognize this, I will patronize it frequently in the future."

Uncle Liu's ox cart had been waiting at the fork in the road for more than an hour, and now seeing Yu Maimai walking over with Ning's staggeringly, he muttered: "This is a big bag, it seems I must have made money today and bought so many things."

Sitting in the car was Mrs. Zhao from the village. Seeing that Uncle Liu had to wait for Yu Maimai and Mrs. Ning who came in a hurry, they were very upset when they saw the big bags and small bags they were carrying.

"What time is it? I have to cook for the children when I go back. Are you going or not?"

But Uncle Liu said impatiently: "I'm here to wait for someone. If it wasn't for her, maybe I would have gone home long ago. You still want to ride in my ox cart?"

Zhao was very angry, so she had to pretend to be dumb, and sat in the ox cart without saying a word and waited.

Uncle Liu went forward, took the things in Yu Maimai's hand, and asked, "When is this, you guys just came back."

Yu Maimai said out of breath: "Oh, old man Liu, it's a good thing I met you, otherwise, we don't know how to go back?"

Uncle Liu said solemnly: "I'm here to wait for you. What good things did I buy today? It's heavy."

Only then did Yu Maimai remember that he promised to treat Uncle Liu's wife in the morning, so he patted his head and said, "Oh, look at my memory, I really trouble you, the second family, didn't we buy persimmons? Take it out for you, Uncle Liu, to taste."

Ning hurriedly took out a persimmon from the cloth bag, wiped it on her sleeve twice, and said with a smile, "Uncle Liu, would you like to try it, is it sweet?"

It was getting dark, and Yu Maimai didn't know that sitting across from her was Mrs. Zhao who had come to her house the day before yesterday, so she reached out and handed the persimmon to Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao lowered her head, didn't speak, and didn't respond to the persimmons that Mai Mai handed over.

But Uncle Liu said: "I said you two sisters-in-law, why are you so polite, they are all a family, since your sister-in-law is giving you food, you can take it."

At this time, Yu Maimai understood who the woman sitting opposite was. She closed her eyes and didn't want to pay attention to this woman, so she demanded the land from her so hard that she couldn't even give her this persimmon. Unfortunately, It was dark, and Yu Maimai didn't know who the woman sitting with her head bowed opposite her was?
Mrs. Zhao took the persimmons and started talking: "Oh, I really didn't expect that I ate your persimmons. It seems that I made money again today. There are big bags and small bags. Those who don't know are still paying attention." Do you think you keep a wild man somewhere?"

Ning couldn't sit still, snorted coldly, and put her hands on her waist: "Why? Second Aunt, if you talk like that, you won't be afraid that this persimmon will choke you to death? My mother's kindness is like a donkey's liver and lungs."

Mrs. Zhao laughed loudly: "Then who asked you to give it, I didn't tell you to give it. Look, the daughter-in-law here also follows the mother-in-law, and she doesn't have any sense of elders."

Ning usually kept silent, but when she thought of coming to her house to ask for land that day, she couldn't help being furious, so she didn't care about other things.

"Yes, according to your seniority, you are still my second aunt, but so what? I have no skills and can't make money. When I saw that we made money, I was jealous. I wanted to dig out my grandma's coffin and sell it for money." , an elder like you doesn't deserve the respect of the younger generation."

Yu Maimai gave Ning a lot of compliments from his heart, these words are really powerful.

But, she can't say that, in front of Mrs. Zhao, she has to be an acting school and know how to teach her daughter-in-law a lesson?
"From the second family, what are you talking about? What about me and your second aunt? It's a matter between the elders. When will it be your turn to interrupt, why don't you apologize to your aunt?"

"Okay, don't act there. Who will you sing and sing for? Let me tell you, I am not a sister-in-law with you. Logically speaking, you are an outsider. My elder brother was blind before and divorced my sister-in-law. , married you, a goblin."

The background of Mrs. Zhao is not a blank sheet of paper. She followed the first man before and despised him for being poor, so she followed her here. However, no one in the village knew about it.

Yu Maimai searched the original owner's memory and learned that this news was fatal to Zhao Shi, and it was also something that she had been careful all these years, afraid that others would know.

Yu Maimai, who was silent for a while, raised his head and laughed loudly: "Oh, I said her aunt, if you talk about a goblin, you are not a cheap lamp. Anyway, I only came in after I retired, but some people , I couldn’t wait to follow the people to Mijiawan before Heli, and I don’t know about it, do the folks know about it?”

Mrs. Zhao couldn't stand it any longer, she came forward to grab Yu Maimai, but Yu Maimai didn't move, she slapped her with a slap, and hit Zhao's face with a slap.

"I warn you, weigh your weight and fight with me. I don't know if you rely on your ability or your IQ?"

Looking at the motionless mother-in-law, Ning couldn't help but feel a little scared. When did this second aunt who was always arrogant and domineering lose a fight? Today, the mother-in-law actually sat there motionless and taught the second aunt a lesson. What is the reason?
Then look at Zhao Shi, who was sitting on the side with a mournful face and aggrieved, she became even more angry, pointing a finger at Yu Maimai in front of her: "You, how dare you hit me?"

"What's the matter, you are the queen mother who descended to earth, no one dares to beat you, right?"
