Chapter 59 How many legs do you want

Chapter 59 How many legs do you want

Zhao Shuangxi's head was covered with sweat, and her hands were still stained with the splattered flesh from the crazy chopping of meat. She grinned, "It's okay, what can I do? It's not that if I chopped it up earlier, the big guy will have less trouble tomorrow." Do it!"

Several men glanced at each other, seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

One of them touched the arm of the man next to him, and muttered in a low voice: "Do you think Jin Yi has offended his wife?"

"I think it's very possible!"

He Lanshan was speechless, but she didn't know how to explain to these elders. After all, Zhao Shuangxi's fierce eyes when chopping meat, waving the knife, the way the knife pierced the flesh, was absolutely amazing!

"Then sister-in-law, we won't stick around here anymore, you are busy and you are busy!" The men even thought that Zhao Shuangxi was angry, and ran away in a hurry, so as not to be affected by her anger.

After they left, Zhao Shuangxi looked at the pig again except for the four legs, and nodded with satisfaction, found a basket to cover the big wooden basin, and said with satisfaction: "I see your grandma is still alive this time." Why do you want pork legs!"

"Yeah." He Lanshan's eyes sparkled, and she gave Zhao Shuangxi a thumbs-up, her own mother is the best!

At this time, a person jumped out from the door of the wooden house, it was Mrs. He.

Her dripping eyes had already rolled around, and she saw that only He Lanshan and Zhao Shuangxi were in the yard, her eyes fixed on the big wooden basins, the slaughtered pigs were chopped into pieces and only these wooden basins could hold them.

"Son, are you home?" she called deliberately.

He Lanshan and Zhao Shuangxi looked at each other, Zhao Shuangxi gritted his teeth and patted his leg angrily.The word filial piety is really overwhelming. Mrs. He has already arrived at the door. If she ignores it, she will be gossiped again.

She had no choice but to go out to greet her, with a smiling face, "Mother, what's the matter, Jin Yi went to pay the carpenter in the village to settle the wages."

"Oh, that's it, but it doesn't matter if he's here or not. I'm here to get the pork leg!" Mrs. He stretched her chest confidently, without any guilt in her eyes. Seeing that Zhao Shuangxi didn't answer, she walked around her.

Zhao Shuangxi thought to herself, fortunately, my daughter was clever and sent the letter back early.

Turning her eyes, she stopped in front of Mrs. He, and said intentionally, "Mother, what are you doing with the pork leg? We keep it for the big guys at the banquet, so at least you have to tell me what it is." Are you coming?"

"My family is not like yours. There are two scholars in my family, and they are not allowed to go to the ceremony. It seems that the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Send a pig leg to Qin Zheng's husband, and teach the children carefully in the coming year. This is related to Qin Zheng. Qian Cheng, Mrs. Zhao, you won't be so ignorant of the general situation!"

Mrs. He's excuse is really good, He Lanshan thought in her heart.

How respectable a scholar is, even if he goes out, outsiders will not say that Mrs. He is greedy for a pig leg of his son. Isn't it all for the scholars at home!
However, the gifts for the husband are usually given at the beginning of spring, not at the end of the year. This is just an excuse for Mrs. He to lie to the pig's leg.

I saw that Zhao Shuangxi's eyes were faint, neither angry nor distressed, just looking straight at Old Madam He, "Mother wants a few pig legs, Qin Zheng, Qin Hua got two pig legs, right?"

Hearing this, Mrs. He's eyes lit up even more.

She originally came to ask for a pig leg, but she didn't expect Mrs. Zhao to be so stupid. Maybe it's because none of her sons are educated and don't know about these things.Seeing that she was so easy to deceive, Mrs. He rubbed her hands happily, "Then let me have two pork legs!"

"Would you like the front legs or the hind legs, mother can choose by herself." Zhao Shuangxi casually pointed at the big wooden basin.

The old lady He ran over on tiptoe with joyful brows, lifted the wooden basin and took a look, where there were pork legs, it was clearly minced meat, some offal, and a few large pieces of meat.

"Zhao Shi, you dare to tease your mother-in-law!" She gritted her yellow teeth.

He Lanshan couldn't hold back anymore, she almost burst into tears covering her mouth, watching the old lady He's expression change from greed to joy and then to disappointment and anger, it was more interesting than the face changing in Sichuan opera.

Seeing He Lanshan, Mrs. He crouched down laughing, and then she realized that the mother and daughter were here to tease her.

She stretched out her hand to grab He Lanshan's ear, but He Lanshan felt that her body was empty, it turned out that she was hugged by Zhao Shuangxi before being touched by Mrs. He, and when she turned around, Mrs. He was caught in the air.

Zhao Shuangxi hugged her daughter, and said with a smile: "How dare I, I didn't expect the pork leg to be chopped up. I guess it will save a lot of effort to cook the pig dish tomorrow. Since the pig leg is chopped up, it's better to give it as a gift." Of course it’s not pretty, why don’t you go to the county to buy it?”

Except in the county town, it's really hard to buy pork legs, even the butcher shops in the town can only sell half a pig in a day.

"Buy, you don't need money to buy, give me the money!" Mrs. He put her palms up in front of Zhao Shuangxi.

Zhao Shuangxi felt that she was really a shameless person, so she almost got angry.

He Lanshan nestled on Zhao Shuangxi's shoulder, saw Zhao Shuangxi's body undulating and knew she was angry, so she hurriedly patted Zhao Shuangxi's back, then turned her head and said to Old Madam He: "Grandma, don't you give me all the money my father earns?" What about you, we didn’t have many sons in our family.”

"Why do the adults talk about the children, and it's your turn to talk about our He family's affairs?" Mrs. He gave He Lanshan a hard look, acting like a vicious mother-in-law who wants to eat children.

Seeing Mrs. He's difficult appearance, Zhao Shuangxi didn't even want to ask her to take half of the meat away.

Because of the previous tricks, and now I have experience, I shouted in a high voice: "Grandma, this pig was killed for the villagers to eat. It is not easy for our family to build a house, and everyone has put in a lot of effort. If you take them all away, what will we eat tomorrow, how can we have the face to live in the village..."

It was already a quiet afternoon, Zhao Shuangxi yelled so loudly that many spectators came.

"Mr. Zhao, you fart, when am I going to take the whole pig away, don't talk nonsense!"

"Mother didn't come to ask for meat, what are you doing in our shabby house?"

"I want a pork leg to present to Mr. Qin Zheng!"

"Mother saw it too. The pig's legs have been chopped to pieces. It doesn't look good as a present. Mother should just go back." Zhao Shuangxi and Mrs. He exchanged a few words, and finally revealed their purpose.

Mrs. He almost couldn't breathe and wanted to roll her eyes. She thought that if the pork leg was chopped up, she could still ask for a rib or something, but Zhao Shuangxi blocked her words.

"I said Mrs. He, Jin Yi's house has been built now, how glamorous and dignified it is, you just wait to enjoy the blessings, and now you don't care about your children and grandchildren!"

"Yes, yes, you won't be allowed to sit at the first table when you have wine in the house tomorrow, and I'll bring you something delicious and drinkable!"

"That's right, this old He's family can afford two scholars, so maybe they can't afford a pig leg, really."

Under everyone's gossip and ridicule, Mrs. He ran away in despair, her hands clasped together and she was so angry.When the other two daughter-in-laws came home and asked, they said that Zhao Shuangxi had chopped up the pork leg in advance, but where did she get the letter from?
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, He Qinzheng said that He Lanshan had set him up, and Mrs. He looked at He Lanshan even more unpleasantly, as if the needle had been stabbed in the flesh so unpleasantly!
