When Li Yujiao put down the meat and ran out, she saw that Jing Qishan's face had been bitten into a pig's head!

She quickly chased the gadflies away and then blamed him: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Look at what you've been bitten to!"

Jing Qishan gritted his teeth and swore that as soon as he recovered, he would cook Li Yujiao!

……

Jing family.

Every evening is the busiest time for the Jing family.

At this time, Jing Qida, who had moved to the dock, and Jing Qier, who worked as a waiter in a tavern in the town, both came back.

Also returning with them were the boys who studied in the town school and the girls who were in charge of cutting grass for pigs by the river.

The eldest daughter-in-law Wang and the second daughter-in-law Chen Cui finished a day's work and began to prepare dinner.

Farmers have two meals a day, lunch and dinner, and dinner is particularly important.

Old man Jing went to the town again today and bought three taels of meat, so that each of the ten members of his family could get a piece.

That’s right, the original plan to split the family only separated Jing Qishan and Li Yujiao.

Ever since Jing Qishan and Li Yujiao were separated, the Jing family's life has obviously become much better. They no longer have to worry about having a paralytic eating for free in the house.

The family was happily preparing to start eating, but the atmosphere was ruined by Chen Cui's words.

"I heard from Fengxia that the third daughter-in-law went to the market to buy meat today, and she bought ten kilograms!"

What?

Upon hearing this, everyone except a few children were extremely surprised.

"Real or fake? Ten kilograms of meat?" Old Lady Jing asked, "Where did she get the money?"

Chen Cui said: "She cured Dazhu, asked the village head for two taels of silver, and asked Chun Ge to take her to the market. Fengxia told me all this."

Fengxia is Chun Ge’s sister-in-law.

"Two taels of silver..." Old Lady Jing estimated in her mind, "This is not a small amount. She really dares to ask for it!"

Everyone at the table was silent.

Jing Qida and Jing Qier worked so hard for only two taels of silver per month, and Li Yujiao got so much money for just one illness? It really made them feel unbalanced.

Jing Qier thought about it and said fairly: "The third daughter-in-law saved Dazhu's life. Human life is more important than anything else. Giving her two taels of silver is nothing."

This is what Jing Qida meant.

Chen Cui took a bite of rice and said sourly, "This third son's wife is really lucky."

Wang was silent for a moment, and suddenly said casually: "I remember when my third brother just came back, my eldest son gave them 500 coins to treat their illness."

This sentence reminded Chen Cui: "Yes, our family also paid 500 silver!"

Wang said: "If I owed someone money, even if it was just two copper coins, I would find a way to pay it back first."

Chen Cui got angry when she heard this: "That's right, the third daughter-in-law is not kind. When their family was in trouble, we contributed money and effort. Now that she has made money, she bought so much meat but she doesn't even give us a pound?"

Old Lady Jing, Wang and Chen Cui rushed to the ancestral house angrily. They saw Jing Qishan lying on a bamboo chair from a distance.

"Look, what's wrong with third brother's face?" Wang was the first to see Jing Qishan's swollen face.

When Old Lady Jing saw this, she felt so distressed that she burst into tears: "My poor son, it must be that bitch Li Yujiao who beat you up like this. That damn bitch, she humiliated my son..."

Jing Qishan's face was indeed swollen now, and Li Yujiao had just applied some tea oil on him, making his whole face look shiny and greasy.

He was also feeling annoyed. His face felt painful and itchy, and he wanted to scratch it but couldn't.

Seeing his old mother wailing in front of him, he couldn't help but yell, "Shut up!"

Old Mrs. Jing was just acting and was not really crying. When Jing Qishan asked her to shut up, she shut up immediately.

But Old Lady Jing put her hands on her hips and yelled into the house, "Third wife, come out!"

Li Yujiao saw everything that happened outside clearly from her room.

The reason why she was not in a hurry to come out was because her meat had not been marinated yet. Now that the meat was marinated, she immediately hid the meat in the space and then pushed the door out.

When Wang and Chen Cui saw Li Yujiao wearing new clothes, they couldn't help but feel jealous.

There are only a few styles of ready-made clothes in the market. They have wanted to buy them for a long time, but the men in their families would not let them, saying that they already have clothes to wear. But now Li Yujiao is wearing them!

Wang said, "Li, the reason you were able to cure Dazhu was just because a blind cat caught a dead mouse. Since the head of the village gave you money, you should spend it sparingly. But you bought clothes with the money. Will you and your third brother not have to live in the future?"

Compared to Wang's "patient and gentle persuasion", Chen Cui had a bad temper. She yelled, "I heard that you bought more than ten kilograms of meat. Did you use the money the head of the village gave you to buy meat?"

Li Yujiao looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in front of her and couldn't help but feel funny.

"Mother, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, what are you doing here this time?"

Old Lady Jing said angrily, "What's the matter? Where's your meat? Take it out!"

"Mom, I bought the meat myself, why should I take it out? Have you forgotten that we have separated?" Li Yujiao wiped the pork on her hands with a handkerchief.

Chen Cui shouted, "You also owe us money for the division of the family. When Third Brother first came back, our Second Branch gave him 500 yuan for his medical treatment. Shouldn't you pay this money back?"

Wang said, "Our eldest wife also paid 500 yuan, and it's all recorded in the account. You can't deny it. Now that you have money, you should pay it back first!"

Jing Qishan looked coldly at the noisy women.

If this had happened in the past, Li Yujiao would have cried and made a fuss, blaming her sister-in-law for being too aggressive, blaming herself for having a miserable life, and blaming him for being a paraplegic and being unable to help in any way.

But Li Yujiao didn't cry or make a fuss, she even smiled and said, "You guys want to settle the score?

"Yes, we want to settle the accounts!" said Wang.

Li Yujiao sneered, then said: "Okay, since you want to settle accounts, then go to the clan leader. Let me think about where we should start. Why not start from when Jing Qishan joined the army. Jing Qishan is the third child in the family. Logically, it should not be his turn to join the army, but he joined the army at the age of fourteen. Why? Because he replaced your man!"

"He served in the army for three years, fought day and night, and narrowly escaped death. In the end, he was carried back. But what about you? Your men are all alive and well, with all their limbs intact. Yet, you are arguing with a brother who served in the army in your place for five hundred copper coins. Can you live with your conscience? Don't you think that if your men went to the battlefield, they would probably have lost their lives. The reason why he became like this is because he risked his life for your men!"

"He is now paralyzed and can't move his hands or feet. He can't hit mosquitoes or bulls. But in the end, you want to divide the family property and give him the most dilapidated house. He doesn't even have a piece of land. Ask your conscience: are you worthy of eating this piece of meat?"
