Eldest daughter

Chapter 33
The meat I ordered from Butcher Zhang was less than fifteen catties!

As soon as Wang Chun'er said these words, Mrs. Wang just happened to listen to her.

"Not enough?" Mrs. Wang's face darkened: "Butcher Zhang is even short of my old lady? Chun'er, go get the scale."

"Hey."

Farmers, almost every family has scales, Wang Chun'er responded and left, Zhang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, wringing her hands together, said: "This girl Chun'er has a lot of things, mother, Butcher Zhang is here. The town has been in town for many years, how can it be short of catties? It must be that Chun'er is underestimated."

She spoke eagerly, and Wang Yuan'er became more and more sure that there was something wrong with the meat, and it had something to do with Mrs. Zhang.

"Grandmother, Second Aunt is right. Although Butcher Zhang is a bit rough, he has never been short-changed. Now that Chun'er has said it, let's make it clear that we are all from the village. Bow your head Don't look up and see you, don't be wronged." Wang Yuan'er picked it up with a smile.

"Girl Yuan is right." Mrs. Wang took Wang Yuaner's words seriously.

Mrs. Zhang glared at her bitterly, what should I do?
Chun'er quickly brought the scales, Mrs. Wang took it herself, and Wang Qing'er has already brought the bamboo basket, and put the meat in the basin back into the basket.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang quietly walked out of the courtyard gate.

"Second aunt, where are you going?" Wang Yuan'er took her arm affectionately: "This meat hasn't been weighed yet!"

"I, I'm going to the latrine." Mrs. Zhang smiled embarrassingly, scolding Wang Yuan'er half to death in her heart.

Mrs. Wang fiddled with the weight on the scale without any distraction until it was straightened and her face darkened when she saw the number on it.

A full five catties of meat was missing!
"Ah, Second Sister, you are amazing, this meat is really not enough!" Wang Qing'er gave Wang Chun'er a thumbs up.

Wang Chun'er blushed, and said shyly: "In previous years, [-] catties of meat could be cut into [-] even pieces, but this year it is less than [-] pieces."

She helps the family dry bacon every year. Naturally, she knows how much dried meat can be dried out in the past with fifteen catties of meat.

Mrs. Wang threw down the scale, and greeted Wang Qing'er angrily: "Take the meat, I want to ask Butcher Zhang for an explanation. The neighbors and folks are short of two catties, or five catties. Is it because there is no one in my Wang family?"

Wang Qing'er has always been hot-tempered, and she is also most keen on finding fault and gossip. She immediately put her arms around the bamboo basket containing meat, and followed Mrs. Wang out with high spirits.

"Grandmother, wait!" Wang Yuan'er called to stop Mrs. Wang. It's a matter of family fighting, and if they really want to stab Butcher Zhang, it would be embarrassing to throw them on the street.

"On weekdays, Butcher Zhang has never been short of our family's catties, but now, it is five catties short, grandma, I'm afraid there is another mystery behind it." Wang Yuan'er said lightly, but her eyes turned to Zhang Shi looked over there.

Their Wang family orders meat from Butcher Zhang every year, and there has never been a shortfall. Sometimes, they will order a little more. .Therefore, she was sure that the meat was definitely a hefty catty, so why she was five catties short, she had to ask Mrs. Zhang!
Mrs. Zhang got the meat. There is no problem with Butcher Zhang, so it is Mrs. Zhang's problem. Moreover, looking at her ashen face, Wang Yuan'er is 100% sure that Mrs. Zhang bought the meat .
