Chapter 21: Request

The second uncle was highly skilled at skinning. After he peeled off an intact tiger skin, everyone felt it was a pity to see a few knife marks on the neck.

“If it weren’t for these cuts, this tiger skin would be even more valuable.”

Su Yin, however, didn’t mind. No matter how much the tiger skin could be sold for, it was still an unexpected gain.

Butcher Zhang divided the tiger meat into nine portions.

One of the portions included the tiger’s penis, and many villagers’ gazes were fixed on that specific piece.

“The tiger whip is valuable.”

“This thing sells well in the county wealthy families are always willing to pay for it.”

Butcher Yang and others eyed it greedily, but Su Yin did not choose that piece of meat.

One person cannot take all the benefits; it’s necessary to leave something for others.

Everyone sighed in relief when they saw that she didn’t take it.

Yang Dahe also refrained from choosing the tiger whip and left it for those behind him.

Butcher Yang smiled and said to everyone, “I still have some wine left. Just in time I’ll treat you all to a drink later.”

With that, Butcher Yang happily took the piece of meat with the tiger whip and tucked it under his arm.

“Let’s remember this moment.”

“I’ll take this piece it has more meat. That way, the kids and elders at home can each have an extra bite.” Yang Dashu grinned as he picked up one of the nearby pieces of meat.

Once the meat was divided, Su’s mother and Su Baozhu happily carried their share home.

Many people looked on enviously. Even though tiger meat was tough and chewy, it was still meat.

Su’s mother divided the meat into two portions one for their household and one for Yang Dashan’s family. However, she did not send any to Yang Dachuan or Yang Dahe’s households since they already had their share.

When Su Yin brought home the meat, Yang Hua, the eldest cousin from the second uncle’s family, also sent over a piece of meat, and Xiao Taohua, from the younger uncle’s family, also sent a piece of tiger meat.

Su Yin had over twenty kilograms of meat left for her own portion, which she couldn’t finish in one sitting. With the hot weather, Su Mu took out the salt from the jar and prepared to simply marinate the tiger meat, which could be kept for a few more days.

“Mom, let’s cook tiger meat tonight.”

“Okay.”

Dazhuang stared at the meat and shouted to her mother: “Mom, I want to eat tiger meat too.”

“Big bug meat doesn’t taste good, let’s eat something else. Okay?”

“No, no. Why do they have meat, but we don’t?” Dazhuang sat on the ground and made a fuss.

The big, strong woman came forward to coax her, but no matter how they coaxed her, the child just wouldn’t let it go.

The big, strong woman couldn’t help but look at Su Yin and the others. Among the nine families who fought against the tiger, Su Yin’s was the only one with the smallest population, the simplest, and they were all women.

She rolled her eyes and said, “Mom, I want it for you, so don’t make any fuss.”

Seeing that her mother agreed, Dazhuang stopped making a fuss.

“Mom, go quickly.”

The strong mother walked towards Su Yin and her daughter from behind. As soon as they got close, Su Yin and the other three looked at each other.

The strong woman raised a flattering smile and said, “Sister Su, I am Yang Laosi’s wife.”

“What’s the matter?” Mother Su said.

“It’s like this. My child wants to eat tiger meat. I wonder if you can spare some. It doesn’t need to be too much. Three to five kilograms is enough.”

Mother Su frowned. How could she not understand what the big strong woman meant? She was trying to get free meat.

She had long heard that Yang Laosi’s wife was a thick-skinned person, someone who pushed beyond her limits. If you let her hold you once, she would cling to you like a mangy dog.

Mother Su refused directly without thinking, “We can’t even eat this little meat ourselves, so we can’t divide it.”

The smile on the big strong woman’s face faded a bit, “Look at what you said, you are just three women, we can’t divide it. The meat that arrived weighed dozens of kilograms. This tiger meat is not delicious. It is easy to spoil if it is kept for a long time in summer. It is better to give some to our family than to spoil it.”

Although Su’s mother was mentally prepared, but hearing the big strong woman’s shameless words, her heart felt like she was choking. How could this woman be so thick-skinned that she dared to ask for free meat? She even had to thank them for helping her eat the meat.

Su Yin took a step forward and stood in front of Su’s mother. After just a few back and forth between the two, she knew that her mother was no match.

“Big strong lady, how can the meat go bad? Let’s eat it open, and this little meat is not enough to eat.”

“Big strong lady sneered, “There are only three of you, how can you finish the food? Girl, if you are reluctant to part, just say so, don’t “Yes, no.”

Su Yin was not angry, and still smiled, “Look what you said, in addition to the three of us, my family also has an uncle, an eldest cousin, a second cousin, etc. One share of this meat is not enough for each family.”

This was a disguised reminder to the big strong woman that they were not just three people, there was a big family behind them, and there was no way to bully them.

Su Yin continued: “Big strong mother, if you want to eat tiger meat, let big strong father rush up next time. That’s it. You can’t just do nothing and just open your mouth and want to eat tiger meat. The world It’s not that cheap.”

“It’s easy for Dazhuang to eat it. It costs 100 yuan per catty, which is only 2 coins.”

Su Yin said in shock. The strong lady was speechless and extremely angry.

“If you don’t give it, you won’t give it.” The strong woman was very angry.

The eldest aunt stepped forward and put her hands on her hips, “Big strong lady, why are you so embarrassed to come here licking your face? The big insect in front is rushing towards you.

If my niece hadn’t taken action in time, you would have died in the big insect’s mouth. Don’t you want to thank me? Li, how can you come here licking your face and asking for meat?”

The second aunt and the younger aunt also came over and stared at the big strong woman with unkind eyes, with a look of ‘try it if you dare to bully Su Yin’. It was quite a bit like they were ready to start a fight if she didn’t back down.

The strong lady looked at the few women and suddenly became scared, “I, I just came here to ask, and I don’t really want to take it.”

After saying that, she ran away.

“Bah!” The eldest aunt spat in the direction she left, “What the hell!”

Many people around looked at this side. They were still a little worried about others, but they immediately stopped thinking.

Su Yin looked at the three aunts, “Auntie is mighty.”

The eldest aunt smiled and said, “Don’t be polite to her when you meet this kind of person in the future. What this kind of person is best at is kicking her nose in the face.”

“Yes. If she dares to come again, please call us to ensure that she can’t eat and walk away.” The second aunt followed.

“I remember, I will call my aunts as soon as possible next time.”

The strong mother-in-law was frustrated by Su Yin. When she returned, she faced her son’s rudeness. She was very irritable and she was holding back something in her heart. She was angry, and when she caught a glimpse of her daughter squatting aside, she felt like she had found a punching bag.

She took a step forward, kicked her over, and cursed, “You lose money, you don’t know your brother is hot, why don’t you come over and fan your brother.”

The little girl got up, with scratches on her palms and arms, there was blood oozing out, but she ignored the pain, got up in a hurry, and went to fan her brother.

Dazhuang, who was losing his temper, pushed her down.

“Go away, you loser.”
