Ancestors, I told you to seduce the villains, not to turn evil.

The eldest son of the Lin family continued to dig.

Below are two chickens and two ducks, each weighing four or five pounds. Below that are three large carp, each weighing seven or eight pounds.

No wonder Aunt Lin felt it was heavy when she carried it; all of this was meat, weighing about forty pounds in total.

When Aunt Lin saw the meat, she regretted taking it out in front of Wu Hongmei.

This person is so jealous, who knows what kind of rumors they'll spread about Xu Manman when they get back!

I should have known better than to act impulsively.

She was about to stop him, but her eldest son was faster. She saw that there were two more bags of brown sugar at the very bottom, which were also taken out.

Brown sugar is hard to buy now, and supply and marketing cooperatives often run out of stock.

Aunt Lin finally managed to find someone to exchange a pound of her medicine, but after going twice, she still couldn't buy any. Unexpectedly, Xu Manman gave her two bags directly.

The eldest son of the Lin family had emptied his pockets this time, and he was shocked to see the things scattered all over the ground.

My goodness, everything here is precious—cloth, meat, and brown sugar—none of which can be easily bought with money.

Xu Manman sent so much at once. He had heard from others that Fei Huainan had been arrested.

It was only after his mother inquired with Ding Huiying that she learned it was a rumor.

He had some doubts at first, but now, looking at the mess on the ground, those doubts were completely dispelled.

Fei Huainan is going to be arrested, and Xu Manman simply can't buy these things.

Wu Hongmei felt resentful when she saw Xu Manman bringing things.

She and Xu Manman are sisters-in-law; although they are not blood relatives, they are related by blood.

Xu Manman has good things, but I haven't seen her send any to their family.

They did send half a sack to the Lin family, who were completely unrelated to them.

She came here to sow discord between the two families.

Everyone knows that Ding Huiying's job was given to her by Xu Manman. Originally, the Lin family and Fei Huainan's family had the best relationship.

In the end, Xu Manman gave the work to Ding Huiying, which must have made Aunt Lin unhappy.

She stirred up trouble; Xu Manman gave her the gift, and she might even get blamed for it.

result.

Aunt Lin took things out in front of her, and she took out so many things.

Each and every one of them is something that money can't buy.

Her eyes were red with jealousy.

Xu Manman, that woman from the Bai family, how could she waste money like this, giving so many things to a stranger? Is she stupid?

Wu Hongmei, standing on the wall, wished she could rush forward and snatch the things away.

Aunt Lin felt guilty seeing so much stuff, so she immediately patted her eldest son on the back and told him to take the things to the kitchen quickly.

She regretted it; she shouldn't have shown off. Now look what's happened—so much meat! What if Wu Hongmei comes to steal it in the middle of the night?

Aunt Lin gave Wu Hongmei a wary look before speaking.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and go back to cook."

Wu Hongmei left in a huff, carrying a basket containing the two ounces of meat she had just cut.

She was actually quite happy to be able to eat meat today, since her family hadn't had meat in a long time.

But when she saw Xu Manman give away dozens of kilograms of meat to someone else, all she felt was jealousy. The more she looked at the two ounces of meat in the basket, the angrier she became.

When she got back, she told Xu Manman about giving away the gifts.

The whole family was practically drooling over what he said.

Since Fei Huainan left, Fei Zhendong's family has lost its former status in the village.

It's true that his family produced a college student, but Fei Zhendong was an unwanted child who was taken in by Fei Huainan's grandfather.

Everyone advised him to get rid of it, but he didn't; instead, he kept it at home.

Over the years, everyone in the village has seen how the old man has treated his eldest son.

You could say they treated him as their own son.

Although the villagers were uneducated, they still disliked such an ungrateful person.

They raised you with love and care, and you not only have no conscience, but you also want to harm the old man's own grandson.

In addition, everyone goes to the graves every year, except for Fei Zhendong's family.

Those with even a modicum of moral integrity looked down on Fei Zhendong's behavior and gradually stopped associating with his family.

This resulted in Fei Zhendong's family being almost isolated, with only the Liu family still willing to associate with them.

However, after Liu's daughter got married, she started looking down on people with her chin, and the villagers didn't like her.

Fei Zhendong knew that everyone was ostracizing him, but he didn't think he was wrong. He even thought that the villagers wanted to curry favor with Fei Huainan, so they did it on purpose.

Hearing that Xu Manman had given away so many things, she felt jealous and envious, but she still didn't want to get involved with Fei Huainan.

"Alright, we wouldn't even take this stuff given to us by a convict."

The Fei family is heartbroken.

That's meat, why shouldn't they take it? If Xu Manman brings it over, they'll definitely want it.

However, everyone could tell that Fei Zhendong was already angry, so no one dared to speak again.

Aunt Lin took out a fish and chopped it into several pieces.

This fish is too big; it would be a waste to eat it all at once. It's better to eat it several times.

And then there were the chickens and ducks. Aunt Lin took out a duck, intending to invite Xu Manman and the others to dinner tomorrow.

As soon as the eldest son of the Lin family entered the room, his wife curiously asked about what had just happened.

He told his wife what had happened, and she was also astonished.

"My goodness, there's so much meat on this."

There were pastries, meat, cloth, and brown sugar.

She knew that Xu Manman hadn't prepared brown sugar at first; she probably added it after hearing that she had given birth.

She was deeply moved, but then felt incredibly guilty.

“When Manman gave those jobs to Ding Huiying, I had some reservations. I felt that our family was closer to her, so why didn’t she give us such lucrative work?”

"Fortunately, my mother-in-law scolded me and made me realize my mistake."

When she brought up that incident, Aunt Lin scolded her a few times and then took her to visit Ding Huiying's house.

Seeing how the doll was made, she realized that not everyone can earn that kind of money.

Even if Xu Manman entrusted the task to her, she wouldn't be able to do it well.

Later, feeling uneasy, she made two pairs of shoes and asked Ding Huiying to send them to Xu Manman when she sent her something.

Later, she received a thank-you gift from Xu Manman: a rattle drum for children and a bottle of her face cream.

She didn't know if it was from Beijing or somewhere else, because it wasn't available in the county. She used it to moisturize her face, and it kept her face moisturized all winter.

After that, the two kept in touch by letter.

It's not frequent, maybe one letter every three to five months.

She was deeply moved when Xu Manman returned and brought so many nice things.

At the same time, she was also relieved that her mother-in-law had spoken up to her, otherwise she would have made a mistake.

The eldest son of the Lin family felt that his mother was right, and seeing that his wife also knew she was wrong, he smiled and comforted her with a few words.

The next morning, the eldest son of the Lin family came early to call people over.

He just bought some meat.

I bought some bones and exchanged my brown sugar coupons for meat coupons to buy a beautiful piece of pork belly.

Aunt Lin weighed the duck; it was over six jin (approximately 3 catties). She was incredibly surprised as she carried the duck, wondering what kind of duck it was that could grow so big.

A duck that weighs four or five pounds is already quite large, but this one, after removing the feathers and internal organs, is six pounds just the meat and bones.

The pickled cabbage at home was ready, so she made a pickled radish and old duck soup. Knowing that Xu Manman also liked spicy food, she also made a dry-fried spicy duck.
