Return to the era, take over and become a winner in life

Chapter 23: The Fierce Jiang Ruoan
Under the envious and jealous gazes of the villagers, Xu Ye and his companions returned to the Li family mansion carrying the meat.

Jiang Ruoan and Li Qing hurried out and helped carry the wild boar into the yard.

They took an axe from Zhang Sanbao's house and chopped the wild boar in half.

Many villagers have already arrived and helped to weigh the weight.

After removing the internal organs, it still weighed 343 kilograms.

"After killing it all, it still weighs more than 300 kilograms. This wild boar is really too big."

"This meat must be very smelly, it's an old pig."

"If you don't want it, you can give me that pound."

"Xu Zhiqing, I want pork tenderloin. These two gun barrels I have are very new. You can use them to make gunpowder guns."

Xu Ye watched everyone squeeze forward and said quickly, "Don't worry, fellow villagers. The three of us will divide the meat first, and then we will exchange things with everyone."

"Sanbao, you keep the accounts." As he spoke, Xu Ye started to chop the meat.

The two pieces of pork were cut in the middle, preparing to give the hind part of the wild boar to Zhang Sanbao and Jiang Ruyue.

Zhang Sanbao took out a notebook and started to keep accounts.

"The total is 343 kilograms. Brother Ye, you can take half, which is 173 kilograms. Sister Ruyue and I can each take 85 kilograms." Zhang Sanbao's arithmetic is quite good. He worked out the result on the spot. He and Jiang Ruyue made it an integer, and the remaining amount was given to Xu Ye.

Next, it’s time to weigh the meat.

"Xu Zhiqing, you are helping the Li family now, and the Li family still owes us a lot of money. I don't want much, just give me ten kilograms, which is equivalent to four yuan."

As soon as this was said, someone in the crowd immediately said, "He also owes my family money. We want eight pounds of meat to pay off the debt."

"It's the same in our family. Our family can afford four pounds of meat."

At this moment, Jiang Ruoan picked up a piece of meat and smashed it on someone's face.

Then, she picked up the hunting knife on the chopping board and pointed it at the other person, revealing a fierce expression.

"Bullshit, who are you talking about?"

"Do you think I, Jiang Ruoan, am dead?"

"Who brought his wife with him to my house to help him? What nonsense are you talking about? Do you believe I will cut off your tongue?"

"My husband saw that my sister's family couldn't make ends meet, so he risked his life to take her to the mountains to hunt and help her family. But you're saying that he's colluding with them?"

Wang Chunhua rushed forward and slapped the man, spitting out a mouthful of spit: "How dare you, you conscienceless man, tarnish the reputation of my two nieces. If this word gets out, will they still be human beings?"

"Who would bring their wife to help? You stupid ass, didn't you see that the three of them wanted to divide the meat?"

At this time, several women present hurriedly grabbed Wang Chunhua and Jiang Ruoan who was coming over to chop people.

"His aunt, Sister Ruo'an, don't be angry, they were just confused for a moment, and they will never dare to say anything nonsense again."

"Fellow villagers, don't you agree?"

Everyone nodded.

"Yes, yes, yes, you can't say that. Who would bring their wife to join a gang? That's just bullshit."

"That's right. If they really want to gang up on each other, why would they divide the meat? Aren't we all one family? What's there to divide?"

Seeing this, Xu Ye climbed directly onto the table.

"My fellow villagers, I know you have some misunderstandings. Yes, my brother-in-law did look for a few people before, hoping to find someone to come and help my sister-in-law."

"Everyone in the village knows about this, but none of those people agreed to it. Is this clear to everyone?"

"Ruo'an and I were very worried. We couldn't bear to let my brother-in-law and his family starve to death, so we took the risk of carrying our hunting rifles and taking my eldest sister-in-law into the mountains, hoping that she could be self-reliant and support my brother-in-law and his family."

"In fact, my sister-in-law could have remarried. The reason she didn't is that she values love and friendship and is unwilling to abandon her paralyzed husband."

"You use your words to hurt such a kind and loyal girl. Don't you feel guilty?"

"Apologize, you must apologize to my sister-in-law."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for having no eyes for the hunting knife in my hand."

As he spoke, Xu Ye's eyes were fixed on the person who spoke first.

Feeling the cold gaze, the man couldn't help but shudder. "I'm sorry, Sister Ruyue, I was just talking nonsense. Please forgive me. I won't talk nonsense again in the future."

Jiang Ruyue's eyes were red, and then she said, "I remember every penny our family owes. That was Dongming's life-saving money. I also remember everyone's kindness."

"Without your help, Dongming couldn't be saved."

"Don't worry, I will pay back all the money you owe me. But please give me some time."

"All the meat I got today can be used to pay off debts, but you need to bring the IOU with you."

"If I can't pay it back today, I'll do it next time. Is that ok?"

After saying that, Jiang Ruyue looked around at everyone.

It can be said that every household has lent money to them.

The least is fifty cents, the most is a few dollars.

Everyone felt ashamed after hearing what Jiang Ruyue said.

"Don't worry, our family is not in a hurry. You can pay back whoever has more first."

"Yes, Dongming's wife, don't worry, take good care of Dongming first, our family is not in a hurry either."

"As for Dongming's wife, she would have been awarded a chastity arch in ancient times. From now on, no one can talk nonsense. If anyone dares to say anything nonsense, I, Zhang Xiaofeng, will be the first to disagree."

"That's right, that's right, don't talk nonsense next time."

"There's no need to worry about money. Everyone has difficulties sometimes. We understand."

Everyone talked at once, which made Jiang Ruyue feel more at ease.

After the news of her recruiting someone to help her get involved spread, she felt heavy and painful whenever people looked at her.

Because she is very opposed to ganging up on others. If she really needs a man, can't she just remarry?
She doesn't even want to remarry, so how could she agree to join a gang?
That was the person Li Dongming asked Li Qing to find without telling her, and then the news spread.

In the village, there are many people who covet her, and some are willing to help her.

She was strongly opposed to it, so the matter was not accomplished.

Otherwise, Xu Ye would not have the opportunity to move in.

Seeing that the food was almost cooked, Xu Ye asked Zhang Sanbao to continue dividing the meat.

He believed that after such a commotion, there would be few people in the village who would bring up this topic.

Even if there is, they would just talk about it in private and would not dare to talk about it everywhere.

It's enough to be able to do this.

After all, human hearts cannot be controlled.

After Zhang Sanbao divided the meat, they set up three stalls outside.

Xu Ye and Jiang Ruoan were at one stall, Jiang Ruyue and Li Qing were at one stall, and Zhang Sanbao and Wang Chunhua were at one stall, each exchanging their own things.

Each person was given a pound of meat, which was quickly divided up, especially the fat, which was grabbed the fastest.

Everyone likes the fat and fat at this time, especially the fat and fat that can be taken home and boiled into lard, and the residue can be eaten.

The several baskets behind Xu Ye and Jiang Ruoan were filled with all kinds of things, not only food, but also various tools, materials, and so on.

The main thing is that you cannot use money. If you use money, the nature of the business changes and it becomes speculation.

Once he is labeled a capitalist, his life will be in danger.

But next, you can take it to a purchasing station.

Although the purchase price is low, it can be exchanged for money and some tickets.

There aren't that many idle things in the village, and it's impossible for every household to exchange grain for meat.

Under the current circumstances, every household does not have much surplus food.

It is not easy for him to live a life with white rice, vegetables and meat every day.
