Before the Su family could speak, Xu Hanhe said first, "Aunt, our family can't help much with this meat, so we can just take this much."
She stretched out her hand and divided a few pieces of meat, one pig's trotter and one sheep's trotter, which only accounted for about one-fifth of the meat.
Wu Guixiang was stunned for a moment and shook her head, "How can this be done?"
This family also took risks and followed them up the mountain. It makes no sense for them, the Su family, to take so much more.
Xu Hanhe said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong. Qingyun also killed the wild boar and found the goat. We have already taken advantage of it."
"That's too little, let's get some more." Wu Guixiang couldn't help but put a few more pieces of meat into their backpacks.
"Okay, okay, that's enough, thank you, Auntie." Xu Hanhe said quickly.
"Okay." Wu Guixiang looked at it and found that it was almost done. "Let's go down the mountain."
Going down the mountain, the three brothers of the Su family all carried loads of meat on their backs. Su Qingyun walked behind to illuminate the people with a flashlight, and Wu Guixiang walked at the end.
Everyone carried their things and went down the mountain no faster than up the mountain. They went down the mountain step by step. It was already completely dark. There were only a few stars in the dark night. It seemed that the weather would be good tomorrow.
The two families separated at the fork in the road. The Su family quietly returned home and went directly into the house before putting down their sturdy backpacks.
"Oh my god, what is this?!" Zhang Xinlan screamed as soon as she opened the backpack as her daughters-in-law were still awake.
Wu Guixiang glared at her, "What are you making all the fuss about? Are you afraid that others won't hear?"
Li Xiulian was also shocked. These baskets full of meat were nothing but meat. Where did so much meat come from? It's still so fresh and full of blood.
Zhang Xinlan covered her mouth with a look of horror on her face, "Mom, didn't you go to the black market?"
"Are you stupid?" Wu Guixiang was speechless. "Where can the black market open in the middle of the night and still sell wild boar and wild goat meat?"
Qin Ying was stunned, "Mom, are these all from the mountain?"
"The third daughter-in-law is still smart." Wu Guixiang praised, "Isn't it from the mountain? This is the prey our family found this morning. We were afraid of being seen by the villagers, so we waited until dark before going up the mountain to get it back. "
Zhang Xinlan: "No wonder I saw you guys muttering there in the afternoon. It was so mysterious that you didn't tell us."
Wu Guixiang glanced at her and said, "If I had told you first, you might have spread the word with your big mouth."
"How is that possible, mother? I'm not stupid." Zhang Xinlan curled her lips and said, these are meat. She went out to publicize that there were so many people in her family because she was sick, for fear that others would not be jealous, right?
"It's best if you're not stupid. Let me tell you, you are not allowed to say a word about this matter outside. If I know who is talking nonsense outside, I will tear his mouth to pieces!" Wu Guixiang warned her family.
"We know, mother."
"Mom, don't worry, we won't tell anyone."
The whole family nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
"That's pretty much it." Wu Guixiang nodded with satisfaction. She looked at the pile of meat on the ground and thought for a moment, "Since you haven't slept yet, let's not sleep yet. Let's wash the meat and use it." Salt it well, otherwise it would be bad if others smell it."
It is impossible for their family to eat so much meat in a short period of time. They can only make it into cured meat to preserve it for a long time.
"good."
Several people agreed at the same time. Looking at so much meat made their hearts burn, and they couldn't sleep. They were very motivated.
Except for Su Dalin, who went to bed early, everyone in the family got busy. Some were boiling water to mow wild boars, and others were tidying up goats.
Wu Guixiang looked at the thick goat hair, thought about it, and told Su Aidang, who was shedding the goat hair, "Don't throw away the goat hair. Wash it, dry it, and stuff it into a cotton coat when the time comes." It’s warm.”
"Okay." Su Aidang replied.
Even though it was late at night, the family was still working enthusiastically and happily. It was only after all the meat was packed and salted that it was over.
After Wu Guixiang looked at the neatly packed meat, she thought for a while and said to her daughters-in-law: "There is so much meat that our family can't even finish it all. So, eldest daughter-in-law, you can take a piece of meat back to your parents' house." , Third daughter-in-law, the meat was obtained in this way, please bring a few more pieces, although your natal family is not here, but don’t you have a sister in the town now? You can bring it to her. "
Qin Ying was stunned. She never thought that her mother-in-law would still remember her. Her eyes were filled with emotion and she nodded, "Okay, thank you, mother."
Wu Guixiang looked at her strangely, "Thank you for what? If it weren't for this, our family wouldn't be able to get this meat."
Qin Ying smiled, she was grateful to her mother-in-law for caring about her.
"Boss, wife, do you have any objections?" Wu Guixiang asked.
"How can you have any objections?" Li Xiulian smiled. It was because of her that she had the meat. It was great that she could take a piece back to her parents' home.
"Where's mine? Mom." Zhang Xinlan was anxious when she saw that she hadn't been mentioned for a long time. This was also her daughter-in-law. She couldn't be partial, right?
"Why are you anxious? I haven't talked about you yet." Wu Guixiang glanced at her and said in a neutral tone, "Although your natal family has never brought anything to our family in these years, don't say that I am partial. , it’s all the same, you can also take a piece of meat back to your parents’ house.”
Before Zhang Xinlan could be happy, she heard Wu Guixiang say again.
"But you can take the meat back to your parents' house, but you have to give me Yunyun's bicycle to ride back."
Zhang Xinlan was dumbfounded, she opened her mouth, "Mom, this..."
"What? No?" Wu Guixiang's eyes were cold, "It doesn't make sense for you to take such meat back to your parents' house, and they still want to occupy such a bicycle and not return it, right?"
"How...how could it be possible?" Zhang Xinlan stammered, "No, I will definitely pay it back. Didn't I say that a few days ago?"
Wu Guixiang snorted coldly, "How many days have passed? How many days have it passed?"
"I tell you, tomorrow, the last day, when you go back carrying the meat, you must give me the car to ride back. If the car doesn't come back, you don't have to come back."
Wu Guixiang said harsh words, and Zhang Xinlan turned pale instantly, unable to refute, so she could only nod blankly.
The rest of the family didn't say anything, even Su Aidang didn't speak for his wife-in-law. She did something wrong in the first place. She had to ride a bicycle back to show off, but she couldn't get it back. It would be strange if her mother didn't get angry. .
"Okay, it's so late, let's all go to bed." Wu Guixiang waved her hands tiredly. She was tired after working for such a long time.
"good."
Several people went back to the house one after another. After returning to the house, Zhang Xinlan, who was in the same room as Su Aidang, finally couldn't help it anymore, "What do you mean by mother? What do you mean by my mother's family? Didn't you bring anything to the family?"
Su Aidang glanced at her and said, "Did Mom say something wrong? In the years since we got married, your mother's family has never even brought an egg. It's already pretty good that Mom can let you bring a piece of meat back."
"Isn't it true that my mother's family's conditions are not good?" Zhang Xinlan said confidently, "Our family has five children, so life will naturally be difficult."
"Difficult?" Su Aidang smiled, "You two sisters and one younger sister have been married for I don't know how many years. Why is it difficult? Why don't you good daughters help the family? Your parents will raise one. Old son, what’s so hard about it?”
Although he is honest, it doesn't mean that he can't understand these things. His wife often wants to help her mother's family. He turns a blind eye to some small things, forget it, but now even big things like bicycles If she dared to give this to her parents' family, it would be absolutely impossible!
These words made Zhang Xinlan's face turn pale and pale, she gritted her teeth, "Ai Dang, let me tell you the truth, the bicycle is with my nephew now. He just met a girl, and she thought the bicycle belonged to him. , I just fell in love with him, how do you think I can get my bike back now?"
"What?" Su Aidang, who had been lying down, jumped up and asked, "You said your nephew went on a blind date with such a bicycle as his own?"
"Yeah." Zhang Xinlan admitted a little embarrassedly. She actually knew in her heart that her natal family did something wrong, but she was a aunt and couldn't force her to come back, regardless of her nephew's happiness, right?
"You didn't even tell me about such a big thing? Zhang Xinlan, are you a little too courageous now? Do you know what will happen if mother finds out about you?" Su Aidang really didn't expect her brain to be able to So unconscious.
"My little brother and the others said that as soon as my nephew and the girl get married, they will return the bicycle to us." Zhang Xinlan added.
"Zhang Xinlan, Zhang Xinlan." Su Aidang shook his head and looked at her with a sigh, with a complicated look on his face, "Why didn't I notice before that you are so naive?"
"……Um?"
"Then can you get back the things your nephew took for the engagement? Why don't you think about it? Even if he returns the bicycle and the girl knows it, does that mean he thinks he is cheating on the marriage? What should I do if I quit? Are you going to lend them your bike again?"
Although he said that, Su Aidang knew in his heart that the Zhang family just made up their mind not to return the bicycle.
"No...it can't be right?" Zhang Xinlan didn't believe it, "My little brothers are not that kind of people."
"Are you sure?" Su Aidang asked her expressionlessly.
Zhang Xinlan was stuck. She actually knew in her heart that things were likely to be as Su Aidang said, but what could she do?
Her mother-in-law said that if she couldn't get the bike back, she didn't have to come back. Zhang Xinlan believed that her mother-in-law could definitely do such a thing.
Seeing her helpless look, Su Aidang let out a long sigh and said, "Go to sleep first. I will accompany you back to your parents' home tomorrow to get the bicycle back."
"Okay." That's all that's left now.
Zhang Xinlan was lying on the bed, hiding something in her heart. She tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep well.
