Chapter 209 Go buy me 4 pounds of meat

Li Mingxia saw Zhang's eyes fall on him, and after a moment's thought he knew what she meant.

"Our Mingxia is a grown-up girl now, and this is how our life will be. But my daughter can't do that. No matter what, I have to make more plans for my daughter." Zhang sighed, feeling half happy and half worried.

What makes her happy is that her daughter is becoming more and more capable. Everyone in the surrounding villages knows that her family has a treasure. Now some people have begun to inquire about her daughter's birth date and horoscope, but this is also what she is worried about. Zhang is afraid that someone will say something bad about her daughter.

Now people won’t say that, but what we should be on guard against are “those people in our own family”.

Zhang opened her mouth and wanted to complain, but looking at Li Sanlang who never raised his head from beginning to end, she finally closed her mouth and sighed softly.

"Tomorrow, let's go help the old man make bean buns tomorrow."

Li Sanlang finally raised his head, looked at the people in the room, and hummed.

The next afternoon, Li Sanlang and Zhang went to the old house. Before leaving, Zhang deliberately ate a little more.

"Mom, why don't I go with you?" Li Mingxia said with some concern.

I don’t know what’s going on, but Li Mingxia’s eyelids kept twitching and he had a bad feeling.

"No, no, you just stay at home." Zhang waved her hand quickly and said she would never agree to Li Mingxia going to the old house with her.

After what happened last time, if possible, Zhang wished that Li Mingxia would have nothing to do with those people in the old house for the rest of her life.

Seeing that Zhang was determined, Li Mingxia did not force her and handed the wrapped pastry to Zhang.

"I don't know how long I'll be busy. Mom, take this cake with you. If you're hungry, just eat some secretly. I won't care about my dad. He's a grown man, he won't starve no matter what."

Zhang agreed and took the pastry handed to her by Li Mingxia and put it in her arms, then went out with Li Sanlang.

As he watched Zhang and Li Sanlang's backs getting farther and farther away, Li Mingxia felt a growing ominous premonition in his heart.

"It's so close, if something really happens it's not too late to get there, at most I'll just get scolded, it's nothing." Li Mingxia felt that she was really worrying too much. After so many years, she should know what kind of abilities Mrs. Zheng has, it's nothing more than a few scoldings, and Zhang shouldn't take it too seriously now.

There were a lot of things going on in the workshop, and Li Mingxia didn't have time to think about them. After Li Mingyu talked to her for a few words, he started working busy again. Soon, this little episode was put behind Li Mingxia.

"Didn't I ask you to bring all the things here? Did you take my words as nonsense?" Old Mrs. Zheng looked at the bean curd and sauerkraut in front of her, and with a wave of her arm, the things were swept off the kang and onto the ground, making a loud noise.

Although Li Sanlang had prepared himself for his own mother to attack at any time, he still couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart after hearing this earth-shattering sound.

Li Sanlang subconsciously glanced at Zhang, thinking that he was frightened and Zhang must be very scared. However, he did not expect that Zhang had no reaction at all. She just looked at the sauerkraut and tofu buns on the ground with some regret.

"Stop arguing! Was this sauerkraut made by Mingxia? It smells sour to me. Is it edible?" Grandpa Li said gently as he looked at the tofu and sauerkraut scattered on the ground.

Zhang put the sauerkraut that had spilled on the ground back into the basin and picked up all the tofu buns.

"Yes, Dad. The sauerkraut we made this summer tastes pretty good. The kid is thinking about you and my mom, so he said he would bring some over for you to try." Zhang's face was calm. She no longer had the timidity and fear she had before.

She came to the old house to complete a mission, a mission she had to do for Li Sanlang's sake. She could leave after completing the mission. If Mrs. Zheng wanted to scold her, she could do it.

"That's perfect. This sauerkraut looks delicious. I've been craving for it these past few days. Second brother, you and Zhengzhi go to the village and get a piece of pork belly. Let the third brother's wife cook. We'll make tofu buns after dinner!" While speaking, Grandpa Li gestured to Grandma Zheng to take out the money.

"Don't let the second son go. He still has to help me with the work. If he goes, you have to do my work!" Old Mrs. Zheng said immediately.

"Okay, then let Zhengzhi go by himself. How can a child this big not be able to buy back a piece of meat?" Mr. Li didn't want to have any conflict with Mrs. Zheng today. She refuted Mr. Li and he gave in.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zheng was still not satisfied. "What kind of meat would a half-grown boy buy? He bought a bunch of fatty slices that are expensive and inedible. What a waste of money. You old man, you just want to waste money! Don't you!"

Mr. Li was preoccupied with the lawsuit and had no idea why this person suddenly got angry. He thought, since he had just agreed with what she said, what else could he do?

"Third brother, go buy five pounds of meat. This sauerkraut stewed with meat will not taste good without more meat." After scolding Grandpa Li enough, Mrs. Li turned around and looked at Li Sanlang and said casually.

"Five pounds of meat?" Li Sanlang was shocked. In the past, even during the Chinese New Year, the Li family would only buy two pounds of meat to satisfy their hunger. How come they need five pounds of meat for a normal meal now?

"What's the matter? You can't even buy me some meat when I ask you to? You act as if I'm going to eat your meat! Do you want me to eat it myself? You and your wife can eat four and a half pounds of meat together! I won't eat your meat, I can't digest it if I eat your meat! I finally understand, you don't care about anyone in your eyes now!" Old Mrs. Zheng cursed loudly while turning her head away fiercely, not even looking at Li Sanlang, as if this could express her inner anger and disdain.

Zhang was stunned at first, and then she wanted to laugh. She had been away from this old house for too long, so long that she had forgotten what kind of person Old Madam Zheng was. If she didn't take advantage of the opportunity, would she still be Old Madam Zheng?

"Mom, you are really telling jokes now. Let alone a meal, I don't even know if I have eaten four and a half pounds of meat in all these years. If you want to eat meat, let the third brother go buy some. This is what we sons and daughters-in-law should do. You don't have to ask me, my father is watching here." Zhang didn't know where she got the courage from, and she started talking before Li Sanlang opened his mouth.
