Whenever something happens in the village, people are bound to come and join in the fun.

The Yan family sells mutton. Even though many people won't buy it, it doesn't stop them from coming to see which families are so wealthy that they can afford to eat mutton during the slack season.

At this time, several men in the village were squatting under a tree not far from Yan's house.

When Gu Pan and Wang Wu came over, a man called out to them, "Gu boy, have you picked up your wife?"

This matter has been going on for nearly a month, and most of the villagers are thinking that they will wait until the Gu family calms down and then take the people back. After all, it is rare for farmers to divorce.

If you have a daughter-in-law like Zhang Erni, at most you'll just have to beat her a few more times, and no matter how bad your temper is, she will be able to beat it out.

However, everyone in the village knew that Gu Pan loved his wife, and many men laughed at him behind his back, saying that he was a coward for letting his wife ride on his head and shit on him.

But jokes aside, they certainly cannot be said in front of others. After all, Gu Pan is not a soft persimmon who can be pinched by anyone and can hit others if he gets angry.

When Gu Pan was asked this question, he felt a little embarrassed. It is said that family disgrace should not be made public, but his family's scandal was probably known to everyone in the surrounding area.

In fact, it doesn't hurt to know. Every family has been gossiped about by others. And they are just honest farmers. Even if the news spreads out of the village, at most people will know someone from our village. Few people know Gu Pan.

At least that's how Wang Wu comforted Gu Pan.

Gu Pan naturally believed what he said. Although he often tossed and turned at night and was troubled by it, he felt better if no one mentioned it. But there was always that talkative person who made things difficult for him.

"You're the only one who talks too much." Wang Wu saw that Gu Pan looked unhappy, so he smiled and waved his hand at the man, "Just take care of your own business. Your son kissed someone else's girl's face a few days ago, and his butt was almost beaten to pieces by your wife. If you don't go back and hug your son to comfort him, why do you have time to come out and join in the fun?"

The man choked for a moment, then couldn't help laughing: "How do you know everything? My son is only six years old, they are all children, what's wrong with a kiss?"

"We are only in our early twenties, so what's wrong with quarreling with our wives?" Wang Wu pushed Gu Pan and said, "Go, go, go, ignore these idlers. They don't go to work in the fields, but just join in the fun everywhere."

"Hey, Wang Wu, who the hell is as fond of joining in the fun as you?" The man was not convinced. This most gossipy man in the village actually looked down on them.

Wang Wu pushed Gu Pan away and turned back to answer: "What's wrong with me joining in the fun? I won't say anything nonsense."

“……”This is really hard to refute.

The man suddenly felt that there was no reason for him to say such a rude thing. He was just asking for trouble.

Having asked for trouble, the man hummed his lips a few times but ultimately said nothing.

Gu Pan also looked back, then slapped away Wang Wu's hand on his shoulder, "You don't have to push me, I won't hit him."

"It's okay to fight. We are only a few steps away from Mr. Yan's house. We have reinforcements." Wang Wu smiled and put his hand on his shoulder again, deliberately slowing down his pace: "I wanted to ask you too, why don't you let Zhang Erni come back?"

"Her family hasn't sold the land yet, maybe they're still thinking about me supporting her brother's education." Gu Pan was a little depressed: "The Tongsheng exam is coming soon, wait until her brother finishes the exam, if he passes, my family won't try to climb that high branch, if he fails, then we have to wait until she faces reality, I don't want this to happen again."

Not only is it embarrassing, it's also extremely painful.

Wang Wu nodded in agreement: "Indeed, your wife is confused."

His Luo Ge'er is still the best. Although he has been relegated to second place in her husband's heart, his own son is still young, so he should give way to him.

Yan Zhenshen was not a talkative person, and since most of the people who came to buy meat were women, he just focused on cutting the meat. The people who came didn't buy much, mostly one or half a pound. He was not a professional butcher, so he was not very accurate with the knife.

Seeing Wang Wu and Gu Pan coming over, he immediately shouted, "Wang Wu, come and help."

Wang Wu knew that Boss Yan didn't like dealing with these people, so he ran over and said with a smile, "Leave this to me, you go do your thing."

Yan Zhenshen responded: "I left a piece of meat for you. Go to the kitchen and get it after you finish selling it."

Wang Wu laughed and said, "I knew that if you followed Boss Yan, you would have a good life."

He said this, but he had no intention of really taking advantage of it. He would still have to pay the money when the time came.

Cutting meat is indeed a technical job. Only an experienced person can do it accurately. However, Wang Wu is really good at talking. Sometimes, if the women add an extra pound or two, after Wang Wu's little talk, they won't mind.

What's more, the Yan family is really honest and would give some extra gifts. The women who came to buy meat felt comfortable spending their money and were all smiling.

The sheep is not big, and even if each person doesn't cut much, the meat will be sold out quickly, and in the end only the sheep's head and hooves are left. Even if this thing is given away, many women don't know what to do with it.

Yan Zhenshen had no intention of selling it. He put it out there for people to see that it was really a sheep slaughtered today. Otherwise, if he sold it at a low price, some people might say something sour.

Something like cheap goods are not good.

There is not much meat on sheep's trotters, but they are delicious if cooked well. Wang's mother is a good cook, so Yan Zhenshen asked Wang Wu to take it back as well.

Gu Pan came here this time just because Wang Wu dragged him here to join in the fun. He didn't plan to buy anything, but he still had some sheep bones that he hadn't given away, so Yan Zhenshen asked them to pack them all up and take them away.

As for the sheep's head, I'll go back to the old house and cook it and feed it to the hunting dogs.

After selling the whole sheep, there was nothing left to eat at home. Zhao Guizhi was a little puzzled, but after listening to Yan Zhenshen's hesitant explanation, she even felt that it made sense.

Besides, I had just eaten the lamb leg that Yan Zhenshen brought back two days ago, so I wasn’t thinking about it now.

"It's hot, and eating too much mutton will make you get angry." Zhao Guizhi was sitting in the yard picking vegetables: "If Xiao wants to eat meat, we can kill a chicken later."

"Just some vegetarian food."

People tend to lose their appetite when the weather is hot. Some time ago, Qiao Qingyun brought a lot of duck eggs, and Zhao Guizhi pickled them, so they can be eaten these days.

Chu Xiao really likes to eat it, but Zhao Guizhi won't let him eat too much, saying that eating too much pickled food is not good for you, and she even asked him to eat less kimchi.

The weather was hot, and without these delicious dishes to go with the rice, Chu Xiao lost interest in meat. Instead, he felt that eating vegetarian food was quite good.

Yan Zhenshen cleaned up the outside of the courtyard, came back and said, "Today I sold this sheep for 1,700 coins. He insisted on paying for the piece of meat that Wang Wu left, so I took 30 coins."

The villagers gave him copper coins, so the more than one thousand coins seemed like a lot.

Zhao Guizhi smiled and replied, "We've sold quite a bit, but I was afraid that the villagers wouldn't buy it."

"The price is low." Yan Zhenshen placed the small wooden box containing the copper coins next to Zhao Guizhi and said, "I won't go to the county town to exchange this for silver. I'll keep it for my family."

"Okay, these copper coins are more convenient to use than silver ingots."
