Just when Xiao Jinbao was worried about being beaten first, he heard a woman passing by the vegetable field on the right let out a "tsk" sound and said loudly: "This land is too bad! It is full of weeds! They have sucked up the nutrients in the soil.
Got it!"
The woman's name is Liu Cuilan. She is fifty-five years old. She lives in a house with her husband, son, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren. They are exactly six people and can choose three centimeters of land.
Everyone in the building calls her "Aunt Liu" because she is known for her shrewd and shrewd personality.
Previously, people in the building were bringing salt to the Su family. Aunt Liu's daughter-in-law was holding the salt and was about to send it downstairs, but Aunt Liu stopped her.
Later, she learned that everyone had gone to Su's house to get two sticks of dried meat, so she shamelessly asked for them again.
A neighbor who had just finished washing vegetables passed by and said, "Ms. Liu, I remember very clearly that your house doesn't produce salt..."
"Which eye did you see? My daughter-in-law clearly came downstairs carrying a bag of salt."
"Oh, your Lihua's feet haven't even stepped on the stairs, but you called her back and cursed her, saying that she didn't even have enough salt to eat, and yet she gave it to others. How stupid is that...
Is that what you said?"
Liu Cuilan's face darkened when she heard this. She didn't want to argue with her, so she turned to Bai Lu and said, "My daughter-in-law really sent salt. Please give me two sticks of dried meat. I just have one stick for each of my two grandsons."
Bai Lu frowned slightly and was about to refuse. Lin Yulan, who lived next door, walked out of the door first and said: "Aunt Liu, everyone can see clearly whether you have sent salt to your family. It's not just because you said you would."
of."
"Daughter-in-law Xu Qiang, please don't worry about this matter. I didn't ask for dried meat from your family."
When she said this, Liu Cuilan lowered her brows on both sides, rolled her eyes in disgust, and even deliberately clicked her tongue.
Lin Yulan hated it when others chewed on her. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Sister-in-law Su doesn't owe your family anything. You are so confident and want dried meat from others. As a neighbor, I can't stand it. I must take care of you today!"
"What are you doing? Do you want to fight? I heard that your daughter just beat Xiao He's wife before. Do you want to beat me again today?"
"Why are you mentioning my Damei? It was Li Qinghua who deliberately provoked my Damei, and the two of them started fighting..."
Before Lin Yulan could continue arguing, Bai Lu hurriedly grabbed her and dragged her a few steps towards her home.
"Aunt Liu," Bai Lu stood in front of Lin Yulan and said to Liu Cuilan, "I gave you dried meat to borrow salt, and you didn't lend me any salt. Why should I give you dried meat?"
"I...borrowed it from my family..."
Bai Lu smiled and said, "You said it was your daughter-in-law who lent me the salt. Then please find Lihua and confront us face to face. When did she give the salt to me? Let's make it clear."
Liu Cuilan was stunned for a moment, "Lihua... she's not feeling well and can't go downstairs."
"It's okay, I can go upstairs to find her." After Bai Lu said that, she was about to walk upstairs past Liu Cuilan when she was grabbed.
Liu Cuilan coughed twice in embarrassment, "Forget it if I don't give it. It's such a trouble, forget it..."
After she left angrily that day, she didn't look good every time she saw Bai Lu.
For this reason, Su Xiaosi curiously asked his mother, "Mom, before you said that the market price of meat would be exchanged for salt, but you gave those aunts two sticks of dried meat, and gave Aunt Zhao five more sticks of dried meat. Why did Liu
Auntie came to ask for dried meat, but you didn’t give me any?”
Bai Lu smiled and tapped the tip of her son's nose, "Give Aunt Zhao and the others jerky because we don't want people to miss our jerky anymore. As for not giving jerky to Aunt Liu, we don't want people to miss our jerky anymore."
Su Xiaosi was confused, "Huh?"
He tugged Yao Hua's sleeve and asked him if he could understand what his mother said.
"It's easy to understand. Most people think that two sticks of fox jerky are enough, so Aunt Bai gave them two sticks. Aunt Zhao looked obviously more greedy, so Aunt Bai gave her five more sticks, and
Aunt Liu..."
After listening to Yao Hua's words, Su Xiaosi asked anxiously: "What's wrong with Aunt Liu? Oh, tell me quickly!"
"Aunt Liu came here to ask for dried meat without borrowing salt. If Aunt Bai gives her dried meat easily, then other people will definitely think that you still have a lot of dried meat left and can give it to others casually, and they will miss your dried meat again.
Already."
"Oh, right..." Su Xiaosi nodded.
Little Jinbao in the cradle clapped his little hands, thinking that his mother understood people's psychology very well and might be suitable for business.
It's a pity that we can't do business in this era. Doing business is just speculation, hehe...
If you can sell something, you can sell it for fifteen per kilogram, so this much dried meat can be sold for hundreds.
Ordinary families would definitely not be able to afford it, but families like her uncle could easily spend one or two hundred yuan.
Why!
it's a pity!
Bai Lu held Xiao Jinbao after feeding her, and then divided the dried meat into two parts.
She asked Jinbao's father to send half a bag of dried meat to his hometown in the countryside for his parents-in-law and fifth son Xiaowu to eat, while the remaining half was kept at home to eat.
As soon as the dried meat was finished, unexpectedly, the factory began to allocate land to each household to grow vegetables.
The summer sun makes people grumpy.
Aunt Liu cursed and left the vegetable field full of weeds and walked quickly to higher ground.
Another family who could choose three centimeters of land also frowned when she heard what she said, thinking that land covered with weeds was bad.
The two families ran into Bai Lu and his party.
"Daughter-in-law of the Su family, you couldn't have chosen the highest piece of land, right?"
"No," Bai Lu shook her head and said in a casual tone, "You can choose this place, I want a slightly lower land over there..."
When Liu Cuilan heard this, she shrewdly sensed something was wrong. She grabbed Bai Lu's arm and refused to let her go. She asked eagerly: "Is the shorter one better?"
"These fields look the same. What's the difference between them? It's just that the terrain here is too high. It hurts my legs to climb. I'm so tired when I think about having to water it every day."
Hearing what Bai Lu said, Liu Cuilan breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself: Let me just say, what's so good about that kind of weed field?
While she breathed a sigh of relief, she did not forget to ridicule, "Oh, you are tired at such a young age. You are really a young lady who was raised in a capitalist family. You are too squeamish."
In this day and age, the most unpleasant word is Miss Capitalist...
"Aunt Liu, after I married Jianmin, I became the daughter-in-law of the working class. I have nothing to do with the capitalists anymore. Please don't mention the capitalists again in the future, okay?"
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Bai Lu's tone, another family member acted as peacemaker and said, "Yes, Director Zhang just said, don't set up class antagonism casually. Aunt Liu, don't say that in the future, it will affect the relationship between neighbors."
"That's it, Mom," Liu Cuilan's daughter-in-law Xie Lihua said with an embarrassed look, "Why are you saying this?"
