God-given mother: The villain cub is super clingy
Chapter 18: The Flesh-Swapping Incident
After Liu Zhenzhu shouted loudly, everyone in the village knew about it. Which family didn't have some coarse grains and flour at home? It was just a one-pound-for-one-pound exchange, which was much more cost-effective than buying it in the town. Even if you had to buy it with money, it would still be ten cents cheaper than in the town. Ten cents was a considerable amount of money for a poor family.
Before, I thought Lin Yue's words about repaying everyone were just empty words, but now I feel that it has been put into practice. Even the poorest families have been determined to scrape together some rice and flour to exchange, so how could they not exchange! The children at home stared at them eagerly, while other families were eating meat. Just the smell was unbearable!
Therefore, almost all the people in Yejia Village came in a swarm. Some brought rice and flour, and if there was not enough rice and flour, some brought vegetables, for fear that they would be gone if they came too late.
When Liu Zhenzhu and Ma Donglian saw this scene, they hurried over to help. Lin Yue asked everyone to line up and the job of changing things was given to them. The main reason was that they were familiar with the people and they were required to be enthusiastic and tactful. Lin Yue was a little hesitant about this matter.
Liu Sufen and four men helped to sort the things and put them together.
"Oh! Who is this? He really treats the wild boar as his own and even divides the meat among them. Look at him rushing in! Liu Zhenzhu, how much meat will they give you if you try to curry favor with them like this?"
Li Xuehua was carrying a basket with half a pound of stale noodles and a few eggplants in it. She stretched her head to take a look and couldn't hold back the sourness in her stomach, which came out directly.
Liu Zhenzhu glanced at her basket.
"Even though it's one pound for one pound, and they said you can make up for it with vegetables, but aren't you being too stingy? You have so many vegetables in your garden, what's wrong? Are you reluctant to pick them? If you can't pick them, don't eat the meat! All you do is think about taking advantage of others! Do you have any shame?"
After saying that, he didn't wait for her to answer and just walked past her to greet the next person.
"Aunt Liu, come here, which piece of meat do you want to exchange? Look at this one, it's more fat and less lean. I can make a lot of lard with it when I go back home!"
Comparing this attitude, it was a 180-degree turn. Lin Yue was amazed and felt that Liu Zhenzhu was really a talent, and she was afraid she would never be able to learn from her!
Li Xuehua was so angry that her face turned green.
"Liu Zhenzhu, I was the first one in line! Why do you give your place to others first?"
"Look at what you have, are you presentable? You're embarrassed? They're renovating their house and want to express their gratitude to the villagers for taking care of them. They've already been very considerate of everyone, and you're still trying to take advantage of them. Why don't you just eat for free?"
"Yes! Xuehua, you have so many vegetables in your garden that you can't eat them all. There's not enough rice or flour. You can just pick some more!"
"If you miss this village, you won't be able to find this shop anymore. If you go to town to buy meat, it will cost you 40 coins per pound!"
After hearing what the women around her said, Li Xuehua was too embarrassed to stay there any longer. She turned around and hurried home. The main reason was that if she continued to quarrel, she would not be able to exchange the meat!
Before long, almost all the pork on the door panel was replaced, even the internal organs were not left out.
When Li Xuehua finally came, there was only the leanest piece of meat left, with just a little fat on it. There was nothing to pick and choose. She gritted her teeth, changed the meat without saying a word, and left.
"If you do this sooner, everything will be fine. You can even have a good piece of meat!"
Liu Zhenzhu said something unhappily towards her back.
The kang in the yard has been built. Just light it up with fire and put the pot on it and it will be ready to use.
Liu Zhenzhu and the other two started to get busy. Although they didn't have to worry about lunch today, they had to steam all the steamed buns in advance. This was also a big project. With nearly a hundred steamed buns, it would take a lot of time!
Lin Yue took a rough look and found that many things were exchanged today. The vegetables grown by the villagers were almost the same, such as beans, eggplants, peppers, lettuce, water melons, tomatoes, etc. There were also some green vegetables such as amaranth, lettuce, and wood ear vegetables. There were also some special ones, two large winter melons and two pumpkins.
There was also quite a bit of rice and flour, all poured together, more than half a bag of old rice, a bag of old flour, and several pounds of sorghum flour. Lin Yue was deeply impressed by the families who brought the sorghum flour, because they were the ones who brought the winter melon and pumpkin together.
There were also a few families who bought it with money, and Lin Yue now had more than a hundred coins in his hand.
There are no daily necessities, mainly because it is more troublesome and not as convenient as food and vegetables.
"Huh? Isn't that Sister Caixia from Old Qin's family? Is she here to exchange for meat too?"
Liu Zhenzhu exclaimed and nodded at the figure walking very slowly in the distance.
Several people saw it.
"Old Qin's family?"
Lin Yue didn't seem to have any impression, so Liu Zhenzhu lowered her voice to explain to her.
"Ayue, you may not remember, but Mrs. Qin used to be a midwife. She delivered all four of your sons! But later she fell ill. I heard she was quite ill. The family was almost unable to make ends meet because of her medical treatment. Later, Mrs. Qin said she would not see any more doctors, and no one knows when she passed away!"
"Yes! The Qin family used to have such a good life! But they were dragged down by Mrs. Qin's illness!"
Ma Donglian shook her head and sighed. Ordinary people really looked down on doctors.
"What disease does she have? Is it difficult to cure?"
Lin Yue tried hard to search in her memory, and she actually remembered something. It seemed that the original owner had some impression of this Mrs. Qin in her memory.
She was pregnant with quadruplets and the birth was very difficult. She remembered that she was about to give up, but Mrs. Qin encouraged her to give birth to all four. If it weren't for Mrs. Qin, she and her daughter would probably not be alive!
"I heard he couldn't eat and was becoming skinny!"
Lin Yue guessed that her inability to eat was due to stomach problems.
Liu Sufen suddenly added, "Mrs. Qin was the midwife for all of us. After she got sick, I went to see her. I suffered so much!"
Thinking of Qin Po's appearance, Liu Sufen's eyes turned red.
Mrs. Qin is a good midwife with a good reputation and good character. People from all over the place come to her to give birth. What a pity!
"Who says it isn't?"
Several people were quite emotional. As they were talking, the person had already walked to the door. It was Qin Po's eldest daughter-in-law Dong Caixia.
Judging from her expression, she seemed quite hesitant.
"Sister Caixia is here! Come in quickly!"
Lin Yue hurried over to greet her, and Liu Zhenzhu and the other two also greeted her.
"Sister Caixia, how is my aunt's illness?"
Dong Caixia felt a little embarrassed, but since she was already there, she smiled and greeted them, "It's still the same. I can drink some soup lately..." She glanced at the door panel where the meat was placed. It was empty, with only some traces of the meat left. She couldn't help but reveal a look of disappointment.
Before she finished speaking, Lin Yue understood that she might be thinking of exchanging some meat for Qin Po's soup. She immediately turned around and took the pig heart and a piece of front leg meat that she had put away earlier and put them into her basket.
"Take these back and make some soup for your aunt!"
Dong Caixia hurriedly pushed him away. She didn't seem to expect Lin Yue to be so straightforward and generous, and her eyes were a little red.
"Mother Dalang, you don't need so much. A little will do. I don't have much food at home, but the cucumbers are growing well. I brought some here. Don't mind."
