Chapter 116 Say it again
Old Yu’s family was the first to butcher pigs in Yangtun. When Wang Cuihua came home, the pigs had already been slaughtered.
The big pig's head was hung on the railing, and the blood stains in the yard were cleaned up.
Yu Jingting was directing people to pour blood sausage with a cigarette in his mouth, and by the way, looked at the yard for any traces left.
Suizi is timid, she can't see this, she must clean up the yard before she gets off work.
"Ms. Tie Gen is back?" The aunt mixed in with the crowd of helpers, showing a warm face.
"Why are you here?" Wang Cuihua felt bad when she saw the aunt, and guessed that she came here to kill pigs, so she really didn't want to give her a bite.
"Forget it, they are all relatives, and I don't have the same knowledge as her." Yu Jingting dragged Wang Cuihua into the room.
He and Suizi have discussed it, and the butchered vegetables must be shared with the aunt's family. After all, the aunt's son-in-law helped carry the gold and silver all the way, which is not easy.
"What happened last night?" Wang Cuihua heard that something happened to her house last night on the way back, and she was very anxious all the way, and asked Yu Jingting when she entered the door.
Yu Jingting told the story again, except for the discovery of the treasure, he told Wang Cuihua everything else.
Wang Cuihua was terrified after hearing this, and patted her heart and said to her ancestors to bless the dead ghosts to show their spirits.
"Fortunately, there are tassels, if it is not good, what can I do - is Jiao Jiao okay?"
"What's the matter, I got up early and jumped around begging me for money to buy candy."
You Suizi always pays attention to Jiaojiao's psychological changes, and Yu Jingting is also much less worried.
Wang Cuihua is at ease now, no wonder her son killed the pig in advance.
The villagers helped to go up the mountain to find the children in the middle of the night. This pig had to be killed.
The big iron pot was full of pig-killing vegetables, and the fresh pork picked up the fat and thin, sweet and sour, crisp sauerkraut, and the freshly filled blood sausage, gurgling, and the aroma filled the courtyard after a while.
It takes two tables to kill a pig, and it takes time to stew this dish. During this spare time, the men support the table to play cards, and the women sit on the kang and chat.
Auntie reversed the lofty attitude of the previous few days, and dragged Wang Cuihua to find something to talk about. After saying a few unnutritious homely things, her eyeballs rolled around and bad water came out.
"Tie Gen Niang, I don't know if I should say something or not—"
"I also know it's not appropriate to say it, so I don't need to say it."
Yu Jingting, who was playing cards on the ground, said by the way, as soon as he pushed the cards, it was crazy!
The aunt was smothered, seeing Wang Cuihua chatting with other women like a normal person, she felt annoyed, taking advantage of the fact that Yu Jingting was not there when she went to the bathroom, the aunt seized the opportunity to continue talking.
"Ms. Tiegen, you have a big heart. Your daughter-in-law won't help with such a big matter as killing a pig?"
"Do you think everyone is like your lazy child, sitting on the kang and chewing their tongues every day? My Suizi has a job."
Wang Cuihua gave the aunt a white look, and knew that she couldn't spit ivory out of her dog's mouth.
"School isn't too busy, so I'll be back after taking a few days off? I count on the old lady to do everything. Now these daughter-in-laws, tsk tsk, are different from us back then."
The aunt was eager to stir up conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and tried her best to provoke.
This topic catered to the interest of several old women on the kang except Wang Cuihua.
Wang Cuihua listened to it for a while, and felt overwhelmed, so she went out to get some fresh air under the pretext of looking at the dishes.
When Suizi came back with Jiaojiao, the aunt was frothing, sitting cross-legged on the kang, gesticulating, and seeing Suizi come in, the tone was raised a lot.
“要我说啊，这些懒媳妇就是欠揍，杀猪都不在家帮忙，要她干吗？娶回来当祖宗的哦！”
Suizi blinked, is this coming for her?
Shoulders sank, a pair of big hands rested on Suizi's shoulders, and Yu Jingting's lazy voice sounded behind him.
"According to what my aunt said, a mother-in-law should beat her daughter-in-law. Then you have not been beaten to death by my grandma. It is a miracle of life. Hey, daughter-in-law, you will talk to Aunt Six later, and ask Sister Li to marry her." How many times did you get beaten after that—I look at her much more lazily than you, let Aunt Six beat her up a few more times, maybe it will be fine."
Aunt Six is the aunt's in-laws, and Sister Li is the aunt's own daughter. The aunt wanted to point fingers at Sang and scold Huai for Suizi, but Yu Jingting rebounded and was speechless.
Suizi burst into laughter, his mouth is really serious.
The aunt was so stunned by Yu Jingting that she had nothing to say. Everyone in the room laughed.
Yu Jingting continued to play cards, Suizi wanted to see if there was anything in the kitchen that could help, but Yu Jingting sat down beside him, pretending to be him as a mascot.
In fact, Suizi knew in his heart that he felt that she was pregnant and it was not easy to work hard. This kind of big pot of vegetables in the kitchen is messy, and there is nothing but a virtuous reputation.
Being the daughter-in-law of Jieliuzi, the advantage is that you don't care about your reputation. Yu Jingting doesn't let her move, and other people don't dare to say anything after seeing it. No one dares to blame Jingting.
"Peel an orange for me." Yu Jingting said to Suizi, boasting by the way, "My daughter-in-law is so obedient, she can do whatever she is asked to do."
Suizi delicately peeled the orange and brought it to his mouth, Yu Jingting yelled sour after taking a bite, and let Suizi eat it by himself.
Cold oranges, sweet, with no trace of sour taste, Suizi eats them with a smile, not to expose his small thoughts, eats a piece for himself, feeds him a piece, sits beside him obediently as a mascot, and acts brightly be lazy.
Auntie looked angry.
Her daughter just gave birth not long ago. Compared with Suizi, her treatment at her in-law's house is simply heaven and earth. When her daughter was pregnant, she was so busy that she almost had a miscarriage.
Why would Chen Hansui be treated this way?
Suizi sat next to Yu Jingting, and Yu Jingting kept playing cards, and he didn't know whether he was lucky or Suizi was rich.
The women sitting on the kang are all neighbors close to Lao Yu's house. Seeing Yu Jingting playing cards continuously, someone joked:
"Tie Gen is really lucky. You married such a daughter-in-law from the Wang family. Ever since you got married, your family has been doing well, and you have won money playing cards."
These words drew echoes.
Yu Jingting’s reputation in the village during this period is really good. He caught thieves one after another, and even made it into the newspapers. He also proposed selling herbs to make money.
The aunt was jealous again, and in a harmonious atmosphere, she insisted on making discordant voices.
"Isn't Suizi just 'Wang'? She sent her sister-in-law 'Wang' to the mountains. If Tie Gen didn't come back early, she might have let Jiao Jiao go in."
As soon as these words were said, the room was completely silent.
The joyous atmosphere one second turned into ice the next.
It was quiet, only the sound of Yu Jingting knocking on the table rhythmically while holding a mahjong.
"I didn't hear what you just said, you, say it again?"
