Quick Wear: The saints are too miserable, the host will never be soft-hearted

Wang Zhaoyin's heart and lungs trembled at the mention of lost money. She swallowed her saliva and said tentatively with trembling lips, "Yes, second sister-in-law, as my partner, why don't you try to persuade me?"

Old Lady Jiang glared at Wang Zhaoyin with a sharp look, then said with admiration, "The eldest daughter-in-law is right."

With just a simple glance, Wang Zhaoyin's face was first filled with panic, and then with mixed feelings, and he couldn't tell whether he felt aggrieved or touched.

Lu Yi looked at her pouting mouth and her smiling face, and guessed that this person was either crazy or had been tortured into a Stockholm by Old Lady Jiang.

Lu Yi picked up a piece of pickled vegetable with chopsticks, chewed it slowly and then said slowly under the anxious gazes of everyone:

"I've only been with Erzhu for five days at most, and you guys can't persuade him. It's a wonder my words are any use."

Old Mrs. Jiang curled her lips and rolled her eyes, then pushed all the pickled cabbage lumps that Lu Yi had picked up into her own bowl, and glanced at Lu Yi sideways.

"You can't persuade your own man, but you can eat a lot."

"Mom, you love pickled cabbage so much."

"I love to eat it. What's the problem? You can eat it but I can't?" Old Mrs. Jiang stuffed her cheeks full. She picked up some that leaked out while she spoke and continued to stuff them in.

How choking! Tsk tsk! Lu Yi reached his hand under the table, but as soon as he moved, Old Man Jiang pressed it down hard with his hands as if he were facing a great enemy.

"Second son's wife! What do you want to do!"

He'll never let anyone who dares to touch this table go! There really are no more dishes in the utility room.

"My legs are a little itchy, scratch them."

Lu Yi put his hand up after scratching it, holding his chin and said quietly: "Is the Jiang family going to have no food to eat?"

"It's good that you know. After dinner, come with me to town and send a telegram to Lao Er, asking him to send more allowance back to support the family. Ten dollars can't do anything. It's too stingy."

Old Mrs. Jiang swallowed a large mouthful of pickled cabbage with difficulty, slurred her saliva, and continued, "We have a big appetite, so ten yuan is not enough to spend."

She spoke with confidence, and looked at Lu Yi, who didn't understand the daily necessities of life, so whatever she said was the truth.

Lu Yi's eyes widened slightly, and he asked in panic, "What? Will our family soon be unable to afford food?"

Sure enough, she fooled the second son's wife into believing her after a little bit of persuasion. Old Mrs. Jiang was very proud and said, "Yes, we can't afford to eat anymore."

As he spoke, he looked around to see who dared to talk too much to the second son's wife.

"Then I'll go back to my parents' house to eat, or we can go to town to eat, so that I can save some food for you and Dad. My eldest brother and third brother both do hard labor, so they can't go without a full stomach. It's a good opportunity to save my portion and share it among you."

"How can that be?" Old man Jiang retorted subconsciously. If this got out, how could his Jiang family still have any shame?

Old Mrs. Jiang shook her head at Old Man Jiang and said indifferently, "Okay, Second Son's wife, you are sensible. From now on, you can go back to your parents' home for all three meals a day. Your father and I have no objection."

Old Man Jiang slammed the door as soon as he returned to the house, and Old Mrs. Jiang came in and closed the door.

"Don't be so angry. You men don't understand women. I've been a girl myself, so I know them best. How can you not control the second brother's wife? Don't worry."

"That's outrageous! She's a member of the Jiang family now that she's married. How can she go back to her parents' house for dinner every day? You're bringing shame to the Jiang family. Not to mention Lujia Village, even the people in Jiangtang Village will laugh at me for my poor management of the household!"

"Trust me, old man. Within a week, her family will give her a hard time."

"Even if her parents can tolerate it, her brother can't stand having his married sister eat right under his nose every day. She'll definitely come back in disgrace within a month."

"What if she doesn't go back to her parents' house to eat?"

Old Mrs. Jiang didn't care. "Where can she go? She's already married. Which young man would dare to invite her to dinner? Even if she goes to town to buy food, how much of a dollar and a dime is enough for her to spend? How much can she have? Tsk."

Old Mrs. Jiang continued, "Our whole family will put pressure on Jiang Erzhu, and his wife will stand on our side. How dare he not give more money?"

Old Man Jiang turned his head and stared at Old Lady Jiang thoughtfully, then compromised and said, "Let's see, I'll do as you say first."

After lunch, Lu Yi went to an inconspicuous place with his backpack.

"Do you have mutton for sale?" Lu Yi picked up the goat milk in front of the stall and shook it, his lips moving.

The stall owner's expression tensed for a moment, then he relaxed and said, "I sell goat's milk here, not meat. Why don't you buy some goat's milk, roll it up and give it to your younger brothers and sisters at home? It's much better than drinking cow's milk."

"Uncle, I really want to buy it."

Lu Yi moved his nose and confirmed that the faint smell of blood came from the stall owner.

"What I have here is fresh and the price is not cheap. Can you afford it?" The stall owner thought for a while, quietly made a number with his hands, and said softly.

An old man who was walking by saw this, and suddenly quickened his pace and turned to leave, muttering that milk was so precious and anyone who bought it would be a fool.

Lu Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, nodded and asked: "I want a lot, can the price be lower?"

"How much do you want?" The stall owner looked at Lu Yi suspiciously.

"How much do you have?" Lu Yi calculated how much mutton could be stored in the space she had freed up for the special cooking for the past two months.

After the payment and delivery were settled, Lu Yi came out carrying a heavy basket, walked a little further and then transferred to the space.

After removing the heads and internal organs of the two sheep and weighing them, the stall owner chopped them into pieces, leaving some in the backpack, and took him back to ask Lu's mother to stew a pot of lamb chop soup.

Lu Yi was thinking about the remaining money while walking. The digit in the hundreds place dropped by 1, but there were still a few hundred dollars waiting for her to squander. It was really a sweet burden.

Lu Yi raised the corner of his mouth and walked lightly in the direction of Lujia Village.

"Is this a lamb chop?" Mother Lu took a closer look, picked up a piece and sniffed it a few times. "What fresh lamb chops! They're from the black market again, right? They must weigh at least two kilograms."

"Mom, have you and Dad eaten it?"

Lu Yu found it strange. He had no recollection of his family having ever eaten mutton. In the past, his family was extremely poor, and it was even more impossible for them to eat mutton.

Mother Lu smiled and glanced at Lu Yi and Lu Yu, her eyes lightly glancing at the outlines of their faces. "That happened when I was a child. Your grandfather brought back a leg of lamb. The meat was delicious."

"Mom will make it now." Lu's mother walked into the kitchen with a smile, holding the lamb chops.

The family of four gathered together to eat. They just stewed it with water and sprinkled some salt and chopped green onions. Every brain cell of Lu Yi was excited after eating it. It was so delicious!

"It would be even more delicious with some sticky rice dumplings." There was some nostalgia in Lu's mother's eyes.

"Baihua, you've brought out the gluttony in my stomach." Father Lu swallowed his saliva. He hadn't eaten it since the old couple from the Sheng family left.
