Chapter 18: The Whole Village Was Filled with the Smell of Meat
Yun Laotai saw someone holding Wang Laotai’s hand, and she scratched Wang Laotai’s face a few more times.
She also kicked Wang Laotai, who was lying on the ground, a few times, and pinched her soft flesh several times!
Then she stood up from the ground with a snort.
“You old woman, you have no filter on your mouth, you dare to say things about my precious granddaughter, next time I hear you say anything like that, it won’t be so simple!”
She then stood in front of Yun Nian’an and touched her head, “Nian’an, don’t listen to Wang Laotai’s nonsense.
She’s just jealous that she can’t eat our wild boar meat, so she’s slandering you. Humph, if she dares to say anything bad about you again, come home and tell grandma!
Grandma will tear her mouth apart.”
Yun Nian’an nodded dumbly. Her grandma’s fighting power was amazing!
She didn’t look like an old lady at all, she was like a warrior possessed, but she felt good protecting her little chick.
Wang Laotai lay on the ground for a long time and couldn’t get up. She could only sit on the ground and gasp for breath.
She felt a sharp pain all over her body, and even moving her face felt burning.
She turned her head and shouted at the village head’s wife, “You were holding my hand just now, you are protecting the Yun family, right? How much did they give you?”
The village head’s wife snorted, “I said, you old woman, why are you like a mad dog, barking at anyone you see, I was afraid you would be beaten up!
I went to pull you apart, but you said I was taking sides.
I should have just let you be, and let Yun Laotai tear your mouth apart.”
Wang Laotai knew that if she continued to make a fuss here, she would only suffer, she crawled up from the ground twice before she got up, and limped home.
When her son came back, she would go to each family and complain.
The Liu family saw this scene and didn’t dare to say anything.
Liu Zhaodi looked at Yun Nian’an, and thinking about what Wang Laotai had said, she felt even more that Yun Nian’an must have been possessed by a water ghost.
How could she be so lucky, she hadn’t woken up for so many years, and she was still a silly fool.
She fell into the water and woke up?
Besides, she had heard that the Yun family had found many doctors, and they all said there was no cure!
But she was pushed into the river and woke up, she didn’t believe it was that simple.
She had heard the storyteller in town say that there were water ghosts who possessed people…
Liu Zhaodi knew that if the Yun family’s little fool was really possessed by a water ghost, she might not be able to fight her!
It’s best not to provoke her now.
Yun Laotai stood in the crowd like a victorious rooster.
The few families could only leave dejectedly, but they resented the Wang family, thinking that if Wang Laotai hadn’t spoken up, they wouldn’t have spoken up either.
Wouldn’t they have gotten some wild boar meat? They were angry at Wang Laotai.
But there was nothing they could do, the Yun family had many sons, even the village head was on their side.
Yun Laotou looked at the village head, “Why don’t you go to the mountain and ask the old hunter to come down and butcher the wild boar for us.
Then we’ll make a big pot of stew with the innards and intestines of the wild boar, and the whole village will eat together.
We’ll keep half of the wild boar meat, and the rest will be given to the villagers.”
The village head nodded repeatedly, “I’ll go and call the old hunter down.”
Yun Laotou nodded, and the village head quickly brought the old hunter down, and Lin Yuan came down with him.
Yun Nian’an said to Yun Laotou, “Grandpa, Lin Yuan helped carry the wild boar down, we should give some to the Lin family.”
Yun Laotou nodded and said, “Okay, we’ll cut some meat from our 100 jin and let the old hunter take it back.”
“Okay.”
The Yun family’s doorstep was bustling with activity.
Everyone in the village was chatting at the Yun family’s doorstep. The village head went home and brought some radishes and cabbages that he was reluctant to eat.
The other villagers went home and brought some black flatbreads, putting them in their pockets.
They thought that they could eat their black flatbreads with the pork stew later.
Soon, the pig was slaughtered. The village head took the scale and divided the meat to each household.
They were mostly given bones and some meat, and every household was happy, no one complained about getting too much or too little.
After all, it was all free, and the village head was always the most honest and tried his best to be fair.
Yun Laotai called for the old hunter, Lin, to cut the half side of pork into several pieces, and then locked it in the cabinet.
After all the villagers left, she would process the pork.
The village head brought a large iron pot from his house, propped it up with stones, and started a fire.
He cut the processed innards into small pieces and threw them into the pot, then added a whole pot of water and started stewing.
Yun Nian’an frowned at the way it was being made, how could it be delicious?
As Yun Nian’an expected, after it boiled, they just added some salt, threw in the cabbages and radishes, and it was done.
The village head took a large ladle and started ladling out a ladle for each villager. They squatted in front of Yun Laotou’s house and started slurping it down.
Those who brought black flatbreads from home ate them while they savored the pork stew.
The whole village was filled with the smell of meat.
The families who were at home kept their doors closed, mostly arguing with each other!
Especially the four families, they were all saying that their wives were too close to the Wang family and were used as pawns!
As a result, they didn’t even get a bowl of broth.
Wang Laotai was lying in bed, groaning.
She felt thirsty and called out to her grandson, “Wang Yu, go get grandma a glass of water.”
Wang Yu heard Wang Laotai calling, he was still angry and didn’t want to pay any attention to her, he didn’t even want to come out of the room.
Wang Laotai called out “Oh my god” several times, but no one paid any attention.
She had no choice but to get out of bed, scoop some water from the water tank, and gulp it down.
She also went to Wang Yu’s door and knocked, “Grandson, are you hungry? If you are, there are some black flatbreads left in the pot, remember to eat them.”
Wang Yu “hmm”ed from inside the room, and there was no more sound.
Wang Laotai sighed and limped back to her room to lie down.
The Liu family was bustling with activity, the whole family was arguing inside the house.
Liu’s daughter-in-law looked at Liu Laotai, she was furious.
“You old woman, who told you to meddle in other people’s business.
They wanted to take the lead, let them take the lead.
Why did you jump out! Now, we don’t even have half a piece of wild boar meat, we can only smell the aroma but can’t eat it!
We didn’t even get half a bowl, it’s all your fault, you old woman, why did you meddle?”
She was scolding and cursing, and you could hear it from far away.
