I Opened a Small Shop to Support My Family Chapter 18

The Yu family could hear her wailing while eating in the main hall. It was like mourning, and the sound was prolonged, making people feel terrified.

Meng Yunshu, who was eating with a bowl in his hand, suddenly felt that the rice in his hand was not so fragrant. He turned his head and looked at the man beside him, “Don’t you need to go out and take a look?”

Yu Jinhuai’s eyes flashed with disgust, and he said disdainfully: “No, let’s eat.”

Only Yu Zhining was not disturbed. He ate the meat in the bowl with big mouthfuls, and his mouth was full of shiny oil stains.

“Yeah.”

The two of them had just taken two bites with their bowls in their hands when the wailing outside became louder. Meng Yunshu really lost interest at this time. He sat there with the bowl in his arms, and anyone who was interrupted one after another while eating would lose interest.

 Yu Jinhuai held the chopsticks tightly, his eyes were cold. He put down the bowl in his hand, picked up the cane leaning against the table and walked out. Seeing this, Meng Yunshu hurriedly followed him, and at the same time did not forget to let Yu Zhining eat first.

The closer he walked to the gate, the louder the voice outside the door, and the clearer the words.

“Whose wild boar meat is sold so cheaply, who knows what medicine is added to it.”

“My poor son.”

“Why are our lives so miserable!”

“You are committing a sin. You just take advantage of the fact that there is no man in our Liu family and bully us orphans and widows.”

Yu Jinhuai suddenly opened the door from the inside, staring coldly at the old woman Liu who was sitting at the door of their house, howling and patting the ground. Her wailing had attracted the surrounding villagers to gather here, and some who liked to watch the excitement ate while holding their bowls and watching. The bowl was brightly filled with pork just bought from the Yu family today.

 Yu Jinhuai was tall and strong. Even though he was leaning on a cane, his aura was no less impressive. The crown on his forehead added a bit of aura to him. His sharp eyes stared directly at Old Lady Liu who was sitting on the ground. When she met his cold eyes, Old Lady Liu stopped talking instantly. She was so scared that she sat stiffly, holding her breath in her chest, until she couldn’t help but cough loudly.

Meng Yunshu stared at the strange old woman in amazement. Seeing that she was frightened by Yu Jinhuai and kept silent, a smile flashed in his almond eyes. He felt uncomfortable when he thought that she came to his house to make trouble most likely because she bought his meat.

As an orphan, although he lived well in the orphanage, he still had some ability to judge people. Now he could see at a glance that the old woman was obviously here to blackmail him.

 If her only son really had an accident, he would have begged for a doctor to come to her house. Why would he run to the door of another house and cry? After figuring out everything, Meng Yunshu couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Yu Jinyue squeezed through the crowd and ran in, pointing at Old Lady Liu and said, “You didn’t come to my second brother’s house to buy meat today? Who knows where you got something and ate it, and you got sick, so you ran to my second brother’s house to extort money.”

When the bystanders heard this, they carefully recalled the scene of buying meat at Yu’s house at noon today. It turned out that they didn’t see her. They also thought of her son’s sneaky nature and looked at her meaningfully.

“Nonsense, that’s slander.” Old Lady Liu said sharply.

 Yu Jinyue’s words didn’t give her any face. The villagers’ voices sounded like they were mocking her. Old Lady Liu was so angry that she was no longer afraid. She stared at him with gritted teeth, got up from the ground and rushed towards Yu Jinyue. She stretched out her hands and wanted to scratch Yu Jinyue’s face with her black nails, wishing to grab a piece of meat from him.

How could Yu Jinyue, a big man, let her have her way? He caught a glimpse of the village chief rushing over, and hurried to the village chief’s side, not forgetting to shout: “Uncle Ye, help, Aunt Liu wants to kill me.”

It was not as exaggerated as he said, and Ye Chongshan knew it.

As for Old Lady Liu, she had already stopped moving when she heard him calling the village chief. She stood there with an ugly face, staring at Yu Jinyue with flaming eyes.

 Ye Chongshan looked stern, with his hands behind his back, looking at her coldly, “What are you making a fuss about?”

Old lady Liu was still afraid of the village chief, and whispered back, “I’m not making a fuss, I just want justice.”

“Justice? Ha.” Yu Jinhuai spoke at the right time.

His cold rebuke scared Old Lady Liu so much that she shivered. She looked around, but not at the village chief and the others, acting like she was right and the weak.

Ye Chongshan hated to see her like this, and said seriously: “Okay, put away your little thoughts, don’t think I don’t know what you want to do?”

“You know whether Ergou has eaten the meat of the Yu family, don’t embarrass yourself.”

Old Lady Liu knew that her son didn’t eat the meat of the Yu family, but her son couldn’t have a stomachache in vain, so she wanted to put the blame on the Yu family.

But now… Old Lady Liu sighed, the village chief was here, and she would not have a good ending if she continued to make trouble.

Meng Yunshu saw that she wanted to leave, turned his head and looked at Yu Jinhuai beside him, and whispered: “Brother Huai, you’re just letting her go like this?”

He was not happy at all. He was eating a good meal, but she made him have to watch her acting in the cold wind, he didn’t have such a habit.

 Yu Jinhuai grabbed his hand, rubbed it to warm it up, and said lightly: “No hurry.”

Since she was going to perform, this play must be finished, otherwise cats and dogs would come to his house and step on it once or twice in the future. He couldn’t make people like the Yu family, and he rarely interacted with the villagers on weekdays. He thought that after having a husband, he would have to deal with others in the future, so he sold the meat in the village. If he had known this earlier, he would rather let Yu Jinyue take the meat to the town and sell it through Aunt Sun’s son.

Seeing that he seemed to have a plan, Meng Yunshu was not in a hurry to go home for dinner. Seeing Ye Chongshan scolding Old Lady Liu in front of everyone, he felt a little relieved.

 He stood there bored. He looked to the right, and saw Yu Jinlan’s figure appearing not far away waving her arm in their direction. Meng Yunshu turned back in confusion and saw the faint smile on Yu Jinhuai’s lips. He raised his eyebrows in surprise. What was going on that he didn’t know?

Not long after, Yu Jinlan ran to them, and said proudly with shining eyes: “It’s settled.”

Hearing this, Meng Yunshu was even more confused. He looked at the cousins ​​in wonder, what were they keeping secret?

Seeing that Old Lady Liu was about to leave, Meng Yunshu looked at Yu Jinhuai anxiously.

Yu Jinhuai narrowed his eyes and said in a calm tone, “I’m coming.”

As soon as he finished speaking, another shouting and cursing sounded. This time the shouting and cursing was much more real than Old Lady Liu’s. All kinds of absurd words jumped out one by one, which shocked Meng Yunshu. He had never thought that there were so many ways to curse people.

 Then, the new old woman grabbed Old Lady Liu’s hair hard and started fighting with her.

Watching this, Meng Yunshu said that evil people should be dealt with by evil people.

After listening for a while, Meng Yunshu realized that Liu Ergou had stolen the pork that had been stored for a long time. The family was reluctant to eat it, so they waited for their grandson who was studying in the town to come home to eat it. Who would have thought that they could not find the piece of meat at home, so they had no choice but to buy half a pound of meat and bones from the Yu family.

Meng Yunshu was watching with great interest, but Yu Jinhuai pulled him back home. Even Yu Jinyue and Yu Jinlan asked them to go back, after all, it was too cold outside.

When the door was closed, Meng Yunshu saw that the village chief was too lazy to persuade him, so he waved his hand and left. As for the old woman’s husband, he stood aside to cheer his wife up. No matter what the villagers said, they had to get their meat back.

 When they returned to the main room, the food on the table was cold, so he took it back to the kitchen to heat it up and ate it directly in the kitchen.

While eating, Meng Yunshu asked: “Who was the old woman just now?”

“The village chief’s aunt, her husband’s surname is Cui, and she is a cool person.”

Meng Yunshu sighed secretly, she is indeed a cool person.

“How come Liu Ergou stole her meat?” Meng Yunshu’s eyes sparkled, and he looked at him curiously.

Yu Jinhuai: “When Xiaoyue sent me a walking stick today, he said that he saw Liu Ergou coming from the west, and guessed that he seemed to be holding bacon in his arms, and the west happened to be where the Cui family was. Before dinner, he heard from the neighbors that the Cui family lost meat.”

“So that’s it.” Meng Yunshu suddenly realized.

It must be said that Yu Jinyue’s nose is sharp, and he can even smell the smell of bacon.

He then asked, “Did Liu Ergou really eat badly?”

“I think so.” Otherwise, why would Old Lady Liu come to his house? I think Liu Ergou was also involved.

“That Old Lady Cui…”

After drinking a bowl of noodle soup, Yu Jinhuai deliberately kept it a secret and didn’t tell Meng Yunshu.

“You’ll know tomorrow.”

Seeing that he refused to say, Meng Yunshu rolled his eyes at him. Although he wanted to know the answer desperately, he had no way.

After eating, he took Yu Zhining back to the bedroom, leaving a sentence: “You wash the dishes.”

Sitting alone in the kitchen, Yu Jinhuai looked at him leaving and shook his head helplessly. His temper was rising.

It was a dreamless night.

 The next day, accompanied by the crowing of the rooster, Meng Yunshu slowly opened his eyes. It was still dark and cold in winter. He looked around and saw Yu Jinhuai and Yu Zhining were still asleep. He yawned and closed his eyes for a while. Before he fell asleep, the wind chimes in the store started to ring.

Meng Yunshu opened his eyes and patted the quilt angrily. Hearing the increasingly urgent ringing of the store bell, he suppressed his emotions, resigned himself to wearing a coat and entered the store.

Seeing the familiar figure standing inside, Meng Yunshu couldn’t help but complain.

“Why are you here so early? I haven’t slept enough.”

Lu Ruan pulled his fur coat, smiled awkwardly, and explained, “I don’t want to either.”

He was still sleeping soundly in someone’s arms when he was pulled in. He only had time to put on his fur coat and didn’t even wear shoes.

 Seeing that he looked not much different from himself, with a tuft of hair on his head, Meng Yunshu knew that he didn’t do it on purpose.

“You…”

Before he could speak, he opened his eyes wide and looked at another person who came in, and that person called out “An An”.

Not only him, but even Lu Ruan himself was shocked.
