733, three daughters and her mother eight(1/2)
When she got up the next morning, Chu Yunli took the remaining food to the town.
Yu Liang was a little happy and said, "Mom, next time you go into the mountains, take me with you, okay?"
Chu Yunli shook his head, "It's very dangerous, I don't plan to go."
Yu Liang was startled, then became even more happy. She was not going to the market today and there was no one on the road. She looked back and forth and asked in a low voice, "Mom, what did you pick in the mountains yesterday?"
Hearing this, Chu Yunli asked, "Aren't they just those fruits?"
Yu Liang smiled and said, "Mom, you clearly went into the mountains yesterday, but you finally came back from the town. Our family only has enough food for two days now, and you said you won't go into the mountains. It's obvious that you have gained something!"
This is a very smart girl. It was a pity in her previous life that she hanged herself just two years after marrying into the Chen family. When Li Fengxi went to see his daughter for the last time, her daughter lying in the thin coffin was covered with injuries and was almost inhuman form.
I don’t know what kind of despair she went through before she committed suicide.
"Yes!" Chu Yunli didn't refute, "I picked old ginseng, so we won't be hungry in the future."
Yu Liang had only had doubts before, but now after hearing the exact answer, he couldn't help but jump for joy, "Really?"
Seeing that she was happy, Chu Yunli was in a good mood and hummed, "Fake."
Yu Liang didn't take it seriously and walked cheerfully. After walking for a while, he thought of something, "Mom, our money will be spent sooner or later, so we still have to find ways to make money."
Chu Yunli glanced at her appreciatively, "That's why I took you to town today to think of something to do."
Hearing this, Yu Liang was overjoyed. He held his face in his hands and said longingly, "It would be great if I could eat meat every day from now on."
Chu Yunli: "...This is a promising thing!"
Yuliang is not angry either.
When he arrived in the town, Chu Yunli walked around and observed some shops and various businesses. Most of them were restaurants, tea houses and cloth shops. There were also many small stalls selling food, and the stalls were selling for thirty to five cents, making a profit.
It's just hard-earned money.
They arrived early, walked around and ate a bowl of noodles. When they walked to the vegetable market, it was not the busiest time yet. The butcher selling meat only sold a little on the table.
Next to him, Yu Liang glanced at the desk, and Chu Yunli happened to catch his eye. She thought for a while, then stepped forward and pointed to a few places, "Give me all the meat, as well as the ears and hooves."
Yu Liang was shocked.
The places her mother pointed to added up to more than ten kilograms of meat, and even more if she added the hooves. No matter how much she wanted to eat meat, she was never this greedy.
There are only five members of their family now. Even if they eat meat, they can't eat so much!
A big customer came in early in the morning, and the butcher was very happy. He cut off the meat and wrapped it neatly, "Twenty-three catties and three liang, let's call it twenty-three catties!"
Chu Yunli started to take out the copper coins, and Yu Liang held them down hurriedly, "Mom, it's so hot, let's just buy a pound. Even if we eat it every day, it's fine if I come back tomorrow!"
The butcher became anxious and said, "Sister-in-law, this meat has been cut off. If you don't want me, it won't be easy to sell. You can't cheat me like this."
Seeing the worry on Yu Liang's serious face, Chu Yunli was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Brother, don't worry, since I asked you to chop it off, I must buy it."
She paid the money happily and carried the meat, "You will know in a moment."
She went to the hospital to prepare some medicine, and also bought a large pot and other seasonings. There were so many things that the mother and daughter even found a bullock cart to take them home.
Mrs. Lin, Yu Yanyan and Dai Di Laidi were shocked when they saw so much meat. They had never been so bold during the Chinese New Year!
Yu Yanyan's eyes were full of meat and she muttered, "Did you rob the meat stall?"
Mrs. Lin snorted coldly, "Don't let the Yamen come to our door. Our family cannot afford to lose this person."
Chu Yunli ignored her and directed Yu Chengfu, who was still looking confused, to dig dirt and find stones to build a new stove.
Then he asked the three sisters to wash the meat, while she went to the mountain to find some firewood, and also picked some things back.
The stove was set up, and the cleaned meat was cooked together with a fist-sized cloth bag. It didn't take long for the rich aroma of the meat to come out.
The women from the neighbors passed by the door and asked curiously, "Yu'er, what do you cook at home?"
Yu Liang chuckled and said, "Cook the meat."
The woman was confused, but she couldn't ask more questions.
In half an hour, there were about a dozen people walking back and forth. Most of them would just ask a question. There were also some who were talkative and said sourly, "You are so generous. You are so generous."
Many people smelled the aroma, and Yu Yanyan, who lived in the same courtyard, couldn't bear it. First she poked her head to look, and finally squatted in front of the stove with Yu Liang, "Can your family eat all this meat?"
Yu Liang ignored her.
In the past, she was also aloof and ignored the three sisters at all. Occasionally, she even complained that her clothes were not washed and there was dust on the ground. There were too many vegetables in the porridge and there were too many vegetables in the porridge. She was beaten and scolded frequently.
Especially mentioning it during meals aroused Lin's anger, and the sisters basically had nothing to eat.
Besides, Yu Liang is not stupid. Of course he knows that this meat is not for his own consumption, so he is not afraid of not being able to sell it just because of its aroma.
With such a small fire, not to mention outsiders, even the three sisters swallowed their saliva many times.
At dinner, porridge was cooked and pancakes were cooked on the small stove. Chu Yunli sandwiched a piece of meat with sauce and cut it into vegetables. The three sisters ate with great satisfaction. Even Yu Chengfu didn't say anything extra and just ate.
He also worked hard today. After setting up the stove, he chopped firewood all afternoon.
Daidi, who had a full belly after eating, said with admiration, "It would be great if we could eat this kind of meat every day from now on."
Laidi was speechless and just nodded.
Chu Yunli: "..."
Yu Chengfu agreed, "I haven't eaten this well during the Chinese New Year."
As soon as he finished speaking, he met Chu Yunli's eyes.
In the past, my wife had a bad temper and would cry when she was anxious. Occasionally, it was normal for her to be so angry that she would ignore people for two or three days. But this time, since she learned about the situation of the Chen family and the family was unwilling to break off the engagement, the wife was probably
It's exciting, nothing is right.
Not to mention the incident of having an epilepsy and beating someone up earlier, his attitude toward him became even colder. Moreover, he no longer had the same subservience to his parents as before. Under her eyes like that, he felt that he was a waste.
He felt a little uncomfortable and stood up and said, "I'm going to wash the dishes."
Chu Yunli was not polite and directly handed him the bowl in Yu Liang's hand.
Yu Chengfu squatted outside washing dishes, thinking that it was too inconvenient to wash dishes now, so he might as well make a kitchen earlier...
"Third brother!"
Yu Chengfu turned around and saw Ms. Zhang, "Sister-in-law, is there something wrong?"
Mrs. Zhang looked at the pot on the side and said, "Mom is angry and hasn't eaten dinner. Can you give me some of this meat?"
If you give meat to your parents, you should share it accordingly. Yu Chengfu didn't think much, took a bowl, put some small pieces in it and handed it over.
Mrs. Zhang was a little unhappy, "You are such a big deal. Guangzong Yaozu and the others have worked hard to study, so you, as an uncle, must not be too stingy. In the future, the three sisters will have to rely on them for support."
Yu Chengfu was right, but he didn't earn this meat. It was filial piety to give it to his elders, and it was given to his nephews... He vaguely knew that his wife looked down upon the three nephews who could read, and even resented them.
If I gave it to her, she would probably be angry.
He has been feeling guilty these past two days, so how can he dare to subsidize his nephew in private?
Just when he was about to refuse, Mrs. Zhang said again, "You have so much meat, your family won't be able to finish it even if you eat it as food. It will definitely spoil after tomorrow!"
"none of your business!"
A cold and sarcastic female voice came.
Chu Yunli leaned against the door frame, met Zhang's gaze, and said calmly, "Even if it's broken, just throw it away, I'm happy! That's my own business, is it your turn to worry about it?"
She raised her chin and looked at Yu Chengfu, "Bring the bowl back to me."
Yu Chengfu swallowed, "That's for my parents."
"Aren't your parents waiting for your three grandsons to be filial to you?" Chu Yunli asked, "Are they embarrassed to eat from us?"
If this meat were taken away, it would probably still fall into the mouths of the three brothers.
Ms. Zhang frowned and said, "You are too mean. Can't my parents eat your flesh?"
When Yu Chengfu didn't move, Chu Yunli said sharply, "Take it back!"
The roar made Yu Chengfu's ears buzz, and he subconsciously got up and took the bowl back.
Chu Yunli was quite satisfied. In contrast, Zhang's eyes were extremely ugly, "The three younger brothers and sisters are so powerful! This separation of families gives me a lot of confidence."
Chu Yunli sneered, "If you want to be confident, you have to share it!" She walked slowly to Yu Chengfu, took the bowl from his hand, poured the meat back into the pot, and ordered, "Carry it into the house!
Lock it!”
Mrs. Zhang always claimed that she was the mother of a scholar and later a scholar. She never said bad words and was very concerned about her reputation. When she heard the word "lock up", she felt insulted and cold.
She said in a voice, "If the third brother and sister can stay so stubborn all their lives, that's what they are capable of."
Chu Yunli picked up the pot and left, "Anyway, I will never beg you in this life. I hope you can be tougher and don't come to beg me."
These words made Mrs. Zhang sneer, "Would I beg you?"
Chu Yunli put down the pot and said with a smile, "If you don't ask for the best, it's useless." After saying that, he closed the door with a bang and locked the bolt.
Not to mention how frustrated the Zhang family was outside, only the husband and wife were left in the room. Chu Yunli looked at Yu Chengfu who was moving the pot and said, "If you want to live with your parents, go now.
I won’t stop you, but you can stop meddling in my business.”
She was cold and indifferent, no longer dependent on her in the past, and she seemed to be the same without him.
To be continued...
