After née Wang finished washing the dishes, she discovered that her daughter had actually bought meat after coming back from the town. This startled her so much that her jaw dropped.
”This …”
”Hush, Mother, I forgot to tell you. When you were sick, didn't Big Uncle and the others want to sell me? In the end, I was saved by a pack of wolves, and there was a little boy among them … ”
Tian Yuqiao whispered to Lady Wang what she said to coax her younger brother. Lady Wang was stunned.
”Ah, in that case, Qiao'er, this time, you are fortunate from your misfortune.” ”No, we have to thank your wolf cub.”
”Mother, we can't find them. If there's a chance in the future, I will think of a way to repay them. ”But this meat, how does mom plan on doing it?”
”Sigh.” When Lady Wang saw such a large piece of meat, she immediately sighed and began to worry.
”Mother, what's wrong with you?” Don't you like meat? ” The two children questioned at the same time.
Mrs Wang said with a wry smile, ”There is a lot of fat, which is suitable for refining meat oil. However, the fragrance of the oil is too strong. I'm worried that it will attract the displeasure of those people.” After all, we just split up and they already have the money to buy meat. They would definitely go around saying that our family had hidden some money. ”
Tian Yu Qiao was speechless. Was her mother talking about how her face had changed? What had she become from being frightened by that old demoness? Even when they bought some meat, they didn't dare to make it smell.
”Mother, why don't we just do it like this? Let's first shave off the lean meat tonight and stew it for dinner. The fat meat will make me and Yutang go up the mountain with the pot on my back. That pig heart and big stick bones were all gifted to me by the kind boss, I'll add another roasted pig tonight. ”
Lady Wang nodded in agreement. After finally resolving the problem of fat, she began to busy herself in the kitchen and even inserted the door from the inside, as if she was afraid that someone would suddenly barge in like a thief.
She secretly took out two packets of delicacies from the Soup Dumplings and opened one packet.
”Come to Yutang, I told you earlier that this was given to us by Uncle Yao from the medicine store.” He is a very warm-hearted old man, and when he heard that my family has a younger brother, he brought me these two bags of dim sum, you can try it. ”
Yutang selected a jujube cake and a bean cake from the inside. Then, he ate the jujube cake and ran to the kitchen with the bean cake.
Lady Wang said, ”Child, eat with your sister. Mother is already so old, so I won't eat any of these snacks.”
”Mom, Sister said that if you don't want to eat, then she won't either.” Tian Yutang lied.
Mrs Wang had no choice but to work while her son fed her a bean cake.
Tian Yuqiao, on the other hand, chose a piece of pastry with a pastry and ate it with relish.
It was a mess here, but the upper rooms were in an uproar again. Listening carefully, it turned out that Old Third, Tian Hu, had lost the bet, and wanted to ask Madame Li for five taels of silver to pay off the gambling debts.
”Scram, you damned prodigal son, don't you know how much you have in your family? The gambling was all done jointly by them. It would be strange if you could win. I don't have any money, only one life. ”
From the top room came the hysterical and furious curses of the Li Clan, as well as the sobbing of Third Brother's wife, the Jiang Clan.
”Mother, I know I was wrong, but the people from the gambling house said that if I don't repay my five liang of gambling debt within three days, they will cripple my arm.” Mother, I beg of you, I don't want to be a cripple. ”
Madame Jiang knelt down as well, begging Madame Li with tears in her eyes, ”Mother, the Great Lakes are the meat that fell from your body. If you don't feel sorry for them, who would?”
”Pah! He has already married his wife, so the one who should feel sorry for him is you.” ”Like what I said before, I don't need money. If you truly feel sorry for your husband, you can just borrow silver from your family.”
