Chapter 23
After selling this wild boar, the money for the bride price should be enough.
Wild boar meat is sold in grocery stores or state-owned restaurants, and the price is about 50 cents per pound.
This wild boar is estimated to produce about 200 kilograms of meat.
By this calculation, it can be sold for one hundred yuan.
If you are a little more adventurous and go to the black market, a pound of wild boar meat is not as expensive as domestic pork, but it is still easy to sell at one or two yuan per pound.
A wild boar can be sold for two or three hundred yuan.
“Thank you…” Su Zhenhua was stunned for a moment before smiling and saying to Lu Wan.
“You’re welcome!”
After wiping the sweat, Su Zhenhua took the handkerchief and said embarrassedly, “I stained your handkerchief. Can I wash it for you and return it to you?”
“No need, it’s dirty, I’ll wash it myself.” Lu Wan said, taking the handkerchief.
Su Zhenhua followed Lu Wan’s advice.
Seeing that Lu Wan really didn’t dislike him at all…
Originally, Su Zhenhua was afraid that his sweat odor would bother Lu Wan.
Zhu Aihua, who was standing by, saw it all and felt happy in her heart.
How could she not be happy that her future daughter-in-law cares so much about her son?
The better the relationship between the couple, the sooner she can have her grandchildren.
Thinking of this, Zhu Aihua almost couldn’t stop laughing.
Su Zhenhua didn’t rest either. After bringing the wild boar back, he still had to deal with some other things.
Brother Su Da and Brother Su Er both came over to help.
The three men dealt with the wild boar.
But Su Zhenhua was mainly in charge, and the eldest and second brothers Su were just helping out.
Lu Wan watched Su Zhenhua lower his head and carefully deal with the wild boar. He used the knife skillfully and looked quite charming.
Sure enough, capable men are handsome.
Just based on Su Zhenhua’s abilities, he is much better than that pretty boy Jiang Qingguo.
The wild boar was plucked of its hair, its internal organs cleaned, and its bones removed. The total weight of the meat alone was 216 kilograms.
The amount of meat is similar to what Su Zhenhua estimated.
The meat of a wild boar is valuable; the bones, internal organs and the like are not valuable.
Some people still eat pig blood, ribs, and large bones, but pig intestines, pig stomachs, pig lungs and the like have a strong fishy smell, so even if you give them away for free, basically no one would be willing to take them.
It took more than an hour to deal with the wild boar.
At this moment, everyone in the production team had returned from farm work, and more people came to the Su family to join in the fun.
Normally, no one can eat meat, so when they saw the Su family get a wild boar, how could they not be envious?
Everyone came over, hoping to get some benefit and a share of half a pound or a pound of meat to satisfy their hunger.
If it were in the past, the Su family would probably have distributed some of it.
But this time, this wild boar is the betrothal gift that Su Zhenhua gave to Lu Wan. If he divides it up, I’m afraid that the betrothal gift for Lu Wan will not be enough.
After finishing the work, Su Zhenhua said, “I went into the mountains to hunt this wild boar. I was going to sell it for food and get money to buy a dowry for Lu Zhiqing.
I’m sorry that I can’t share some of the meat with everyone, but you can share some of the large bones, ribs, and pig blood that you don’t plan to sell.”
As he spoke, Su Zhenhua began to busy himself with distributing ribs and pig blood to people.
There are many bones. Although the production team has hundreds or thousands of people, there are only dozens of families.
On average, most families have more than 10 people, and some have more than 20 people.
Each family can get about one pound of ribs and a bowl of pig blood.
Although spare ribs are not as delicious as meat, you can take them home to make soup, which can at least provide a taste of meat.
It’s free and doesn’t cost any money, so everyone is very happy.
Everyone can understand why the Su family did not share the meat with others.
If it were them, they probably wouldn’t be willing to share the meat.
Besides, when people get married and need to earn money for the bride price, they are short of money, so it is normal for them to keep the money and sell it.
Moreover, it is a favor when someone gives you something, and it is their duty not to give you anything.
If I give it to you, you should be grateful. If I don’t give it to you, you have nothing to say.
Most people can figure it out, but there are always a few weird ones.
Just now, a woman said, “You only give us this little bit of food for a wild boar. How can you be so embarrassed? You might as well give it to a beggar!”
The woman who spoke was named Wang Guifen, the same woman who had mocked Lu Wan for buying a bicycle and said that she didn’t know how to live.
She was resentful of Zhu Aihua because she had been criticized by her last time.
In addition, he was jealous of Zhu Aihua for marrying a daughter-in-law from the city. When he saw the Su family had killed another wild boar, he was even more jealous, so he found fault and spoke ill of the Su family.
Hearing Wang Guifen’s words, Zhu Aihua rolled her eyes, rushed directly to Wang Guifen, and snatched away the things that had been given to her.
“Since you dislike it, then don’t take it.
Otherwise, it would be so bad if our family treated you like a beggar!”
Wang Guifen obviously did not expect Zhu Aihua to do this.
She just urged her a few words, but she actually took the things back.
Wang Guifen was a little anxious. “How can you take back the things you gave away? Are you breaking your promise?”
Zhu Aihua said, “Pooh,” So what if I don’t keep my word?
I threw it to the dog to eat, and the dog wagged its tail when it saw me.
I gave it to you, but not only do you not know how to be grateful, you also blame me.
People like you shouldn’t be allowed to take advantage of you.”
Everyone present supported Zhu Aihua’s actions and followed her to help her, saying, “That’s right, Wang Guifen is quite weird.
Since you dislike it, then don’t take it!
You took someone else’s things for nothing and yet you still say that they are bad. “
“Stay away from people like this in the future. Do you think she deserves what she owes you? Should she be given pork to eat?”
“Tsk, tsk, how nice of you!
She is so strong-willed, so just don’t accept her!
It is said that one who eats someone’s food will be soft-hearted, and one who receives someone’s money will be obliged
After taking someone else’s things, instead of saying anything nice, he starts complaining.
From now on, we can’t give her any benefits.
If you give too little or too little, people won’t be grateful to you and will even say bad things about you behind your back!”
“…”
“…”
Wang Guifen blushed as people kept talking to her.
It was difficult to get the spare ribs and pig blood back, so I could only leave in shame.
After Wang Guifen left, a reasonable person comforted Zhu Aihua, “You don’t need to pay attention to this kind of person. She can say whatever she wants. She is just a chatterbox. No matter how good you are to her, she will still have something to say.
It’s unnecessary to argue with such people, which only makes things more troublesome for yourself.”
Zhu Aihua naturally understood the truth.
Zhu Aihua nodded, “Yes, I know, it’s not worth it to bother with such a person.”
Just treat it as a dog and let it bark a few times. As long as it doesn’t bite you, that’s fine.
Lu Wan watched from the side and felt that she, the future mother-in-law, was very domineering.
However, because of her own “selfishness”, Wang Guifen ran out of spare ribs and pig blood. She could only smell the aroma of meat coming from other people’s stewed spare ribs, but she couldn’t eat it at home.
Wang Guifen’s husband was so angry that he beat her up. The next day, everyone found the wound on Wang Guifen’s face when they went to work. But this time, no one in the production team cared about her.
