Transmigrated into a slave? I raised a frontier war god while pioneering new lands.

Just as the two were whispering to each other, Shen's mother suddenly strode over and cleared her throat haughtily.

The two men were startled and turned to look at her. Upon seeing that it was her, they immediately softened their expressions and said in a calm tone, "Shen Guiniang!"

"When did you arrive?"

Shen's mother: "I just arrived."

What are you two talking about?

Neighbor: "I didn't say anything. I was just praising your second son for being so capable. He killed a big wild boar as soon as he went up the mountain."

"Why are you only arriving now? This is such a big problem, weren't you going to help?"

Mother Shen curled her lip in disdain, "Isn't there my second son's wife? Why would I need to do this?"

"Alright, you guys line up here! I'm going in to take a look." With that, he squeezed into the courtyard.

Seeing her like this, the two neighbors sneered and mocked, "She's really good at pretending to be something she's not. Doesn't she know how badly she's fallen out with the second son's family? She really thinks she's someone important."

When Shen's mother went in, the pig's internal organs had already been removed, and Shen's aunt and Lan's sister-in-law were helping to process them.

As soon as Shen's mother saw the pig intestines in Shen's aunt's hand, she pretended to gag and said, "Ugh, what is this stuff? It stinks so badly."

"Sister-in-law, you really don't mind anything, you'd even clean up poop." After saying that, she turned to Xu Qinghe and instructed, "Second son's wife, look how attentive your aunt is, she's done all sorts of chores to please you. When your aunt leaves later, don't forget to give her two sets of pig intestines, she really likes them."

Xu Qinghe disliked Shen's mother to begin with, and seeing that they had already made such a scene, she was even more embarrassed to come. She immediately retorted without hesitation, "My aunt only came to help me because she saw that I couldn't handle everything by myself."

"Alright, since you're here, you can get started!"

"Auntie, don't bother. Could you boil some water for me to wash the table later?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Shen was about to put down what she was holding and get up. Aunt Shen's mother immediately panicked, "What are you doing? If your aunt wants to do it, let her do it!"

Xu Qinghe remained unmoved. "My aunt is here to help out, she's not family. How can we let her do this kind of work?"

"Since you're here, you can help out! I'll give you two sets of pig intestines when you leave."

"You like to eat it too, don't you?" After saying that, he ignored her and hurried off to do something else.

Watching Xu Qinghe's departing figure, Shen's mother instinctively reached out to call out to her, but was immediately rebuked by Shen's aunt, "Sister-in-law, you're right. It's really inappropriate for an outsider like me to clean the pig intestines for you. It won't look good or sound good to others. You should clean them yourself!"

At this moment, Shen's mother was full of resistance, but seeing the teasing looks from everyone, she pinched the flesh on her fingers and resignedly sat down, dry heaving while washing the pig intestines. She looked both heartbroken and relieved.

Xu Qinghe was indeed very busy. The internal organs had been mostly processed, and all that was left was to divide the meat. The wild boar meat had already been cut up by Shen Daqiang and thrown on the table long ago.

As the head of the household, she had to keep what she wanted and sell the rest.

Because of the heat, and because too much wouldn't keep, Xu Qinghe kept ten jin of pork belly, eight jin of lean meat, ten jin of ribs, and a pork knuckle, and didn't take the rest.

If there are any that can't be sold, she has to keep them as a base. As for why she doesn't keep the fatty parts, it's because there isn't much fatty meat in wild boars to begin with.

At this time, most people are short of oil and fat, and they are almost all coming for the fatty meat. If she removes all the fatty meat, the sales effect will not be great.

In addition, she also left two extra portions of five-pound pork belly and a pig's head.

They moved the meat they had saved aside, and the rest were sold.

Everyone glanced at the pork on the cutting board and began shouting at Xu Qinghe, "Shen Zhi's wife, is all this meat sold at fifteen coins a pound? Or do you differentiate between lean and fatty meat?"

Xu Qinghe glanced at the meat on the cutting board and replied frankly, "The meat is all fifteen coins a pound, regardless of whether it's lean or fatty."

"But the ribs are different. They cost twelve coins a pound. Although they're cheap, there's still a good amount of meat in them." After saying that, everyone rushed over to the stall, chattering and asking for what they wanted.

Shen Daqiang was a butcher, so he was very good at cutting and dividing meat. He was in charge of cutting, Shen Zhi was in charge of weighing, and Xu Qinghe was in charge of accounting and collecting money.

In order to collect money, Xu Qinghe even specially placed a jar in front of him to hold the copper coins.

I heard the coins clattering into the jar, and I was so happy.

Just then, Shen Zhi suddenly tugged at her and whispered, "Go tell your sister-in-law not to buy it."

Xu Qinghe subconsciously looked in the direction Shen Zhi was looking, and saw a somewhat plump woman struggling to squeeze in.

Xu Qinghe recognized her at a glance. She wondered if it was because couples who had been together for a long time started to look alike, but this sister-in-law looked remarkably like Shen Daqiang.

Seeing this, Xu Qinghe rushed over and pulled her out, calling out softly, "Sister-in-law."

A kind smile immediately appeared on the woman's slightly plump face; she seemed like an easy person to get along with.

"Sister-in-law."

Xu Qinghe: "You're here to buy meat too?"

Daqiang's wife smiled a little embarrassedly, "I just heard the village chief say that you were selling wild boar meat, so I thought I'd come and buy some."

Xu Qinghe pulled her towards the entrance of the main room, saying, "You don't need to buy any, I've saved some for you."

Daqiang's wife immediately became anxious upon hearing this, "This won't do! How can we take your things for nothing? Besides, wild boar meat is so expensive!"

Xu Qinghe immediately said firmly, "This is what Brother Daqiang should take. If it weren't for his help in carrying the wild boar up the mountain and slaughtering it down the mountain, we wouldn't have been able to get it so quickly." As she spoke, she pulled Daqiang's wife over.

He found another basin and put the pig's head in it. "Since you're the ones who do this, you should know how to handle this pig's head. I won't keep it. You can take it back, clean it up, and make some pork soup." As he spoke, he picked up a piece of meat and put it in. "You can take this meat back and use it to make steamed buns."

Daqiang's wife immediately panicked when she saw it, "No, no, this is too much." As she spoke, Xu Qinghe put another piece of pig liver in.

Daqiang's wife reached out to take out the pork and pig liver, but Xu Qinghe stopped her, saying, "Don't refuse me, Daqiang should take these."

"Alright, sister-in-law, look how busy I am, I won't argue with you anymore." With that, she tried to push Daqiang's wife away.

Daqiang's wife, carrying a basin, was pushed out with a bewildered look on her face.

Looking back at Xu Qinghe, who was busy running around, Daqiang's wife sighed softly and didn't refuse any longer. She picked up the basin and hurriedly left.

At the same time, after washing the intestines, Shen's mother slipped into the meat-selling line, but the moment Shen Zhi saw her, he silently placed the money jar in front of him.

Mrs. Shen was so angry that she was practically fuming, but because there were so many people around, she didn't dare to retaliate and could only grit her teeth and back out.

As soon as she came out, she saw the basin full of things belonging to Daqiang's wife. She was so angry that she pulled Xu Qinghe over and started questioning her, "What are you doing! You're not going to give her any more of this stuff?"
