The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 30 Selling Pork

Zhang Guihua and her daughter Sheng Wenwen were weeding in their small vegetable garden when an aunt, the gossipy old lady, walked towards them.

The old lady's surname is Wei, and she is about the same age as Mrs. Sheng. She has always been at odds with Mrs. Sheng. If you ask her what the issue is, it's always those trivial things like you love me, I don't love you, and I love her!
She gave birth to two sons after giving birth to three daughters. She has always been secretly comparing herself with Mrs. Sheng, trying to see who is better. Now that she is at this age and the old men of both families have passed away, she still wants to make Mrs. Sheng unhappy from time to time.

"The third brother is still busy! Why don't you go to your mother-in-law's place and get some meat? Your mother-in-law and her family will definitely not be able to finish such a big wild boar!"

"If you don't go now, there will be no more good meat!"

In fact, anyone with intelligence can understand this kind of provocative language. After all, Zhang Guihua is an adult and naturally understands that Mrs. Wei is trying to provoke her.

But his daughter Sheng Wenwen didn't hear it, and immediately put down the work in her hands and stood up.

"Mom, let's go to grandma's house!"

Zhang Guihua immediately glared at him, and Sheng Wenwen finally shut up.

"Thank you, Aunt Wei. My mother-in-law and I have already separated. I don't want anything that is not ours."

"You should pay more attention to your family's affairs. I saw your dog running up the mountain just now!"

Zhang Guihua had just finished speaking when she heard Mrs. Wei howling and running towards the mountain. Zhaodi, the daughter of the Sheng family, had just had his leg broken by a wild boar, and she couldn't let anything happen to her grandson.

After Mrs. Wei ran away, Zhang Guihua looked at her daughter seriously.

"Wenwen, I know you're craving for meat, but remember, don't think about things that don't belong to you."

"Tomorrow, Mom will take you to town to buy meat, and we'll come back to make dumplings."

Sheng Wenwen responded softly, then nodded and squatted on the ground to continue working.

She didn't understand. Isn't it just a little meat?
Why would mom say that!
She is our granddaughter, so what’s wrong with her eating some meat?
Zhang Guihua took a deep look at her daughter who was squatting on the ground weeding and sighed.

The task of educating children is really a long and arduous one. Look at the children of the Sheng family, they are all cunning, lazy, greedy and slippery.

There are only two children in my family, especially Wenwen, who is a girl, so she must be educated well.

"Grandma, please take this piece of meat to the village head. I asked Aunt Song to take it when I just came back. She must be embarrassed."

"I'll cook today, so you'll have to take the trouble to run around!"

Mrs. Sheng was not a confused person. She understood what her granddaughter meant, so she handed her apron to her, washed her hands, and prepared to take the meat to the headman's house.

At this time, the gate of the fence was pushed open from the outside, and several aunts from the same village came in.

With embarrassed expressions on their faces, Mrs. Sheng immediately understood what these people meant.

Seeing these people pushing each other, no one wants to be the first to speak.

So, Mrs. Sheng spoke first: "What's going on? What's going on? Everyone has become a saw-mouthed gourd. What's going on?"

"Auntie, haha, we want to ask if you are selling this wild boar meat?"

"We thought you couldn't finish the food, so we came to ask."

The aunt who was speaking was very cautious. She had seen Sheng Wanqiu kick Liu Juan away with one kick yesterday, so she didn't dare to provoke her. The main reason was that she was not strong enough and was afraid of being beaten.

"Wanqiu, what do you say?"

Mother Sheng looked at Sheng Wanqiu who was chopping ribs and asked loudly. The aunts who wanted to buy meat saw Sheng Wanqiu holding the kitchen knife and chopping a lot of ribs with a click. The way she moved the knife looked very neat.

Then Sheng Wanqiu came over with a kitchen knife, scaring the aunts so much that they all took several steps back. This girl looked too scary holding the knife.

"Pork in town is fifteen cents a pound. Since you ladies want it, since we're from the same village, I'll give it to you at thirteen cents a pound."

"If you have eggs at home, you can trade them. Fifteen eggs for a pound of pork."

"Aunties, we only have so much pork, first come first served, come over here if you want one, and I'll cut it for you!"

As soon as Sheng Wanqiu finished speaking, several aunts ran home. Anyone who didn't buy such cheap pork was a fool.

It's two cents cheaper. If you go to the town to buy it, you'll have to pay for the ox cart and the money to go into the city. All this money is enough to buy an extra pound of pork.

"Grandma, you go to the village head first, and leave this to me and Huaian."

Mrs. Sheng looked at her granddaughter who was holding the knife with great momentum, nodded, picked up the chopped wild boar meat and went out.

Just as Sheng Wanqiu thought, the group of aunts ran away in a hurry and then ran back in a swarm, and there were even more people.

Of course, these aunts ran back home to tell their neighbors, and then they came over with money or a basket of eggs.

"Wanqiu girl, I brought all the scales from my house. Can you see if they can be used?"

The aunt who spoke first handed over a scale with a flattering smile on her face.

"Auntie is really considerate. I don't have a scale at home, so please lend it to me first. I'll cut some pork liver for you to make soup later."

Sheng Wanqiu took the scale from her aunt's hand with a smile and promised to give her some benefits, which made her aunt so happy that she smiled from ear to ear.

"Huaian, I'll do the cutting, and you take the money."

"Aunts, please line up and come one by one."

When Sheng Huaian heard his sister's words, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and came over to help. Even Xiao Huaimu stood beside the two of them to see if there was anything he could help with.

Sheng Wanqiu's voice was so loud that Liu Juan's family in the next yard could of course hear it. Sheng Zhaodi, who was carried back, was still in a coma. When she came back, she had a high fever and was talking nonsense. Liu Juan was so scared that she handed over the care of her to her two little daughters.

At this time, Liu Juan really wanted to eat someone. She stared at Sheng Wanqiu with vicious eyes. Why didn't the little bitch Sheng Wanqiu have her legs bitten off by the wild boar, and was so lucky to kill the wild boar and drag it back? These were all meat!

"Auntie, please look carefully, here are three pounds of pork, take it!"

Sheng Wanqiu's knife was quick and decisive. Basically, she would cut whatever meat the villagers wanted, and the scales were always high.

The villagers all happily carried the meat out of the house.

Although Sheng Huaian didn't know many words, he had no problem doing the math, and the brother and sister worked together very well.

Because this group of people was small, Sheng Wanqiu was afraid that there would not be enough pork to sell, so she simply closed the fence gate and arranged for Xiao Huaimu to guard the door, only allowing people to go out but not in.

The last aunt to leave was the one who lent the scale to Sheng Wanqiu. Sheng Wanqiu gave her a large piece of pork liver as a thank you gift and was extremely happy.

He praised Sheng Wanqiu again and again, thanked her again and again, and then took the things and left.
