Ah!

Small things that need tidying up.

Children are quick on their feet, and Zhang Guiying had no intention of chasing after them.

She opened the mesh bag, took out a paper package, and opened it in front of the two children, revealing a large chicken leg inside. She took a deep breath of the aroma, exclaiming, "Oh, it smells so good!"

"..."

The two children were stunned.

Standing there, drooling uncontrollably.

Zhang Guiying picked up a chicken leg and took a bite. "This chicken leg is fresh out of the pot. It's so delicious! Every bite is full of meaty aroma and juice."

Da Bao and Xiao Bao were drooling.

"Want some?"

Zhang Guiying beckoned to the two children, like the wolf in sheep's clothing tempting Little Red Riding Hood, "Come on, Grandma bought lots of chicken legs! No... I'm going home now?"

A five-year-old kid can't resist such temptation.

Seeing that the chicken leg was about to be brought into the hospital, he didn't care about anything else and scurried over to Zhang Guiying with his short legs.

Zhang Guiying was all smiles.

When the two children ran up to her, she instantly stopped smiling, shoved the chicken leg into Zhao Binghe's arms, grabbed one of the children's arms with each hand, and kicked both of them in the buttocks.

"I called your grandma's head a rubber ball, and told you to mix kerosene into it... You little bastards, I can't handle you two anymore."

"Aww—"

The two children were beaten and cried loudly.

Da Bao cried out, "Grandma is bad, Grandpa is bad, your whole family are bad people."

Xiao Bao joined in the wailing, "Brother, you're wrong. Mom said that Grandpa and Grandma are both dead. They were old witches and wicked old things who deserved to die a horrible death."

Zhang Guiying originally didn't intend to kill him.

Upon hearing this, she immediately pinned the two children to the ground, took off her shoes, and slapped them hard on their bottoms, yelling, "You little bastards, I'll beat you to death!"

"Wow!"

The two children couldn't curse anymore; they screamed and cried, tears and snot streaming down their faces.

Zhang Guiying only stopped hitting him when she was tired.

Once the two children were free, they forgot all about eating their chicken legs, covered their bottoms, and ran away quickly, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Guiying angrily cursed a few times.

Even after being admitted to the hospital, she was still angry. "That bastard Zhang Xia dared to call us old hags! If I see her like that, I'll teach her a lesson!"

He then said to Zhao Binghe, "Didn't Zhao Chengxin move out with his wife and son? Why are the two little ones still in the village? When Lao Wu comes back, have him inquire whether that family is renting a house in our village."

"Don't let me run into that heartless couple, or I'll tear their mouths apart!"

Severing ties is severing ties.

She is the one who came from her womb, so she has the right to lecture others.

Zhao Binghe was also angry.

The third son and his wife secretly educate their child this way; they're not afraid at all that their child will go astray.

"Don't be angry, come and eat some meat. Don't let those jerks ruin your mood."

"Yeah, they're nothing but rubbish, they don't even deserve my anger!"

Zhang Guiying silently recited a few words about how getting angry could lead to an early death, and her mood quickly calmed down. Zhao Chunzhi and Zhao Qiuzhi went to the kitchen to get chopsticks and plates, and put all the meat they bought from the grocery store on the plates.

Zhao Binghe carried the beer to the table.

Zhang Guiying washed several enamel cups and poured a beer for everyone.

It's a hot day.

Drinking ice-cold beer is incredibly refreshing.

"Mom, should we save some of this meat and chicken legs for Fifth Brother?"

"No need to keep him. Fifth brother has money in his pocket and won't mistreat himself." Zhang Guiying glanced at her husband and two daughters. All three of them were very thin, and their clothes were hanging loosely on their bodies.

She put a chicken leg in everyone's bowl, and took the biggest one for herself. "Eat up, food won't keep in this heat. Let's eat all this meat in one go."

"Why!"

Last night we had braised pork belly and pork belly at home, and today we have so much meat again. It's even better than the food during Chinese New Year. I feel so happy, like I'm dreaming.

The meat smells so good!

It tastes much better than green beans.

Zhao Xiazhi was moved to tears, saying, "I wish we could eat meat every day."

Zhao Qiuzhi rolled her eyes at her, "The price of pork has risen to 1.9 yuan per jin. One jin of meat is equivalent to a worker's daily wage. What kind of conditions do you have to eat meat every day?"

Zhao Xiazhi was a little embarrassed. "I was just saying."

Zhang Guiying, on the other hand, was full of bravado: "Follow me, and I'll make sure you eat meat until you're sick of it."

Can you vomit after eating meat?

How could that be!

The food at home was poor, and there was hardly any oil or fat in their stomachs, so everyone ate a lot. In one meal, the four of them ate more than a dozen steamed buns, finished all the meat on the table, and even drank a whole case of beer.

They ate and drank their fill.

Zhang Guiying felt so comfortable that she didn't want to move at all.

Zhao Xiazhi and Zhao Qiuzhi took the initiative to clean up the dishes. By the time the two sisters finished washing the dishes and came out, Zhao Binghe and Zhang Guiying had already gone inside to take a nap.

The two sisters were also quite drunk and went back to their rooms for a nap.

She slept until almost dark, when Zhao Xueyi came back yelling. Zhang Guiying was not woken up. When she came out of the room, she saw Zhao Xueyi's face was red from the heat, and he was gulping down cold water.

"The cow was sold?"

"Sold."

Zhao Xueyi was exhausted. After drinking some water, he plopped down on a bench and complained, "Mom, your son suffered terribly today. In order to get a good price for that cow, I had to stand in the scorching sun for several hours. It was so hot that I didn't even eat lunch and had to eat an ice pop instead."

"How much did you sell it for?"

"Mom, you don't care about your son, you only care about money."

Zhang Guiying glared at her, "Stop fooling around, how much did you actually sell it for?"

The whole family was watching Zhao Xueyi.

Zhao Xueyi let out a lewd laugh, pulled a thick wad of cash from his underwear, and slammed it on the square table. "Hehehe, 1000 yuan! A full 1000 yuan, aren't I awesome!"

Zhang Guiying glared at him, "You put money in your underwear? Zhao Xueyi, how disgusting!"

Zhao Xueyi said matter-of-factly, "After selling the cattle, I took an oxcart from the town to the city to come back. There were a lot of people on the oxcart, and I was just afraid of losing the money."

"A thief can pick my pockets, but he can't pick my crotch, can he?"

"..."

Zhang Guiying glanced at Zhao Xueyi's crotch, then at the money on the table, and counted it with a look of disgust. "Using money to protect your own, how could you even think of that?"

Protecting one's own?

短?

Zhao Xueyi glanced down at his crotch, and after realizing what his mother was talking about, his face instantly turned red. "Mom! What nonsense are you talking about! Who's shorter? I've always been the one who pees the longest among my brothers since I was little. You're insulting me."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Who's getting impatient? Who's getting impatient!"

"Okay, okay, there's no rush," Zhang Guiying said casually as she counted the money.

"..."

Zhao Xueyi felt even more aggrieved!

If it weren't for my two younger sisters...

He was so eager to take off his pants on the spot to prove his innocence!

Zhang Guiying counted the money and confirmed it was indeed 1000 yuan. True to her word, she immediately counted out fifty yuan and slapped it in front of Zhao Xueyi. Zhao Xueyi was so excited that he hugged the money, pouted, and tried to kiss Zhang Guiying.

Zhang Guiying pushed him away with a dark face, "Get out of the way, you're so noisy."

Zhao Xueyi felt wronged, "I didn't say anything."

"Your clamor of poverty is bothering my ears!"

"..."

It felt like an arrow had pierced my chest.

Zhao Xueyi clutched his chest and staggered backward, acting with great gusto. But his joy turned to sorrow when he slipped on something and fell hard on his backside.

Zhang Guiying couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Zhao Xueyi asked mysteriously, "Mom, when I came back from outside just now, guess who I ran into in the alley?"
