Back to 78: My Leisurely Country Life

In the evening, He Qiang led the horse back home with He Yongjun.

Because they came back early today, He Qiang saw two cousins who had not returned home yet in the yard.

Wu Shuhua and two sisters-in-law were chatting in the yard with their children. When they saw He Qiang coming back, they walked over with He Tiantian in their arms.

A bunch of children also quickly gathered over.

"Dad, Dad! Did you bring any food back today?"

"Dad, I want to ride a horse!"

"Ah, Daddy, Daddy!!"

He Qiang pointed at the basket and said,"There's grass in it, do you want to eat it?"

The children all shook their heads.

He Tiantian was held in Wu Shuhua's arms. Looking down from above, she saw the badger corpse in the basket and cried out:

"" Wow, what a big dog!"

A group of little ones suddenly became curious and wanted to gather around to see what was going on.

The pony boy was frightened and hid at the feet of the young mare and trembled.

He Qiang simply took the badger out of the backpack and said,"Look to the side, don't scare the horse."

A group of little ones cheered and went to study the badger's corpse.

He Xuewu looked at the badger, poked it and said,"Wow, it's so meaty!"

He Shouren nodded and said,"This dog is so fat, its belly must be full of oil!"

Speaking of oil, all the children's mouths water with greed.

The desire for oil is a common trait of children of this era.

In later generations, many people may find it difficult to understand what is so delicious about rice with lard?

It's so greasy!

But these days, there is very little oil in children's meals. It is normal to stir-fry with a few drops of vegetable oil and then add water.

Although there is no shortage of fish these days, freshwater fish is not rich in fat.

The fish belly is so small, it is not enough to eat.

He Xuebing, the 'filial son', sighed:"It's great at my dad's house. I can eat fatty meat again."

Fat meat, what a delicious delicacy that makes people crave it!"

Yu Li, who heard this, looked particularly unhappy.

Other families are good, but her own family is not so good?

As a woman who cares a lot about face, she has always looked down on He Qiang's family over the years.

Her family in the next village is also very wealthy, so among the three generations of the third room, she and He Liang have always lived the best.

But who would have known that in just such a short period of time, He Qiang's family would live a life of feasting on meat and fish every day?

The gap between them was difficult for her to accept.

Wu Shuhua didn't know the complicated thoughts of the sisters-in-law behind her, and just said to the children:"Then you can play in the yard first, and kill the dog and bring some home later."

He Yongjun didn't say anything when he saw that his son didn't object.

This badger was brought back by He Qiang, and his daughter-in-law decided how to divide it. As long as He Qiang didn't object, he, as a father-in-law, wouldn't say anything.

Soon, under He Yongjun's busy work, the badger was skinned and dismembered.

It's okay to share some of the ten-pound badger with the other two families. They owed too much in the past, and it's right to pay it back slowly now.

"Come, one leg for each family, don't lose it."

Wu Shuhua pointed at the two hind legs in front of the two sisters-in-law to express his attitude, and motioned for the two families to take it back themselves.

Although the meat was divided, Wu Shuhua had no intention of giving away the good meat from the badger.

The way of dividing one hind leg per family was definitely enough to save face. If the other two families still had opinions, it would be ungrateful.

He Shouren was holding a badger hind leg and grinning from ear to ear. He turned to his mother and said,"Mom, can I have braised pork?" The third cousin touched her son's head and said,"You have to ask your grandfather how he wants to eat it."

He Shouren was not disappointed. At most, he could just ask his grandfather!

He was the eldest grandson of the second house and the most favored. He knew from a young age that his grandfather loved him very much!

On the other hand, He Xuebing and his brother He Xuewu almost fought with their eldest brother He Yunxiang.

"Let me hold you!"

"Give it to me and I’ll hold you!"

"Go away!"

The eldest son is He Ming's eldest son. He is the oldest among the children in the He family. He is two years older than the third son He Xuewu. He is not inferior to the two brothers alone.

For a while, the whole yard was in chaos.

Such a shameful thing made Yu Li even more angry.

At this time, the disadvantages of too many males in the family were reflected.

He Aiguo and his brothers He Ming and He Liang have not separated yet. Wu Shuhua can't find any fault with dividing the meat according to He Aiguo's family.

But the problem is that there is only one leg.

He Jianguo has one son and one daughter, and his daughter married the captain's family as a daughter-in-law.

Now when dividing the meat, He Yong's son He Shouren is holding it. Of course, there is no such thing as fighting for it.

It seems to be a quarrel between children, but in fact, the essential problem is the competition for resources between the two small families.

Yu Li, as a mother, is also the elder of He Yunxiang, so it is not appropriate for her to intervene at this time.

He Yongjun originally planned to intervene, but was stopped by He Qiang.

It is not appropriate for them to intervene in this matter.

The meat is divided by their family. The younger ones are making a fuss. If you give more, the second family will have opinions. If you don’t give it, the younger generations of the first family will quarrel over this matter.

How to persuade?

No matter how you deal with it, you will definitely be blamed in the end.

In the end, it was Grandma He who scolded Yu Li:"How do you teach your children as a mother? Don’t you know how to manage the quarrels? Look at what it has become?"

The old lady didn’t care about Yu Li’s face. She cut the Gordian knot and asked Yu Li to take good care of her own children.

Yu Li blushed. She was so embarrassed that she exploded. She walked over and grabbed the two and beat them up personally:

"Let you make noise! Let you make noise!"

"Let it go or not?"

"Do you want to listen or not?"

At first, the two brothers He Xuewu were stubborn, but when they were beaten hard, they ran away.

He Yunxiang and He Xuewu were pulled apart, but it was obvious that they were not convinced.

He Yunxiang had bruises on his face, and he was very angry. He hugged his hind legs, sobbed, and glared at his two cousins.

Faced with this matter, He Qiang chose to turn a blind eye and���Back to the house.

No matter how much trouble there is, it is the eldest wife's own business, and he, the third wife, dare not intervene.

Wu Shuhua followed in, and said with lingering fear:"Will uncle blame me later? After all, it was me who asked them to take it themselves that caused such a fuss."

He Qiang rolled his eyes:"That's the disharmony among the children. Can you be blamed for their own problems? If you hand it to them, they will still make a fuss. What does it have to do with you?"

Wu Shuhua sighed:"He Yunxiang's face is scratched, I don't know how angry the eldest sister-in-law must be."

He Qiang knew what his wife was worried about.

As a man, it is his responsibility to protect his wife from wind and rain, so He Qiang said firmly at this time:

"If she wants to blame someone, she should blame the second sister-in-law for not teaching the child well. Why should she find you! If she dares to make trouble, then I dare to ask my cousin how to manage his wife! There is no such crooked logic in the world."

Feeling the love of the man, Wu Shuhua felt sweet in her heart. She looked around and found that there was no one. Then she mustered up the courage to say to He Qiang:

"I'll coax Niuniu to sleep early, and we'll rest early tonight."

He Qiang understood what Wu Shuhua meant, and he immediately became excited. Recently, he had plenty of money and ran up and down the mountain every day, and he felt like he had endless energy.

He Qiang smiled wickedly and whispered to Wu Shuhua,"I'll let you eat a full meal tonight!"

Wu Shuhua hit He Qiang, but rarely did he refute.
