Xiaoxiao started by explaining the gist of the situation, "Your uncle and Little Aunt have already picked out a good family for you, but since they fear your disagreement, they plan to present you with a fait acpli."
What?
Her uncle was actually planning to do this?
"Last night, I, the team leader, your first-cousin, and Er Dan were waiting at your doorstep for quite a while, until that person arrived. We tricked him and learned from him that it was your uncle who wanted to take action against you. He would then call others to catch you, making it publicly known. Even if your brother returned, he wouldn’t be able to stop it."
What?
Fang Meiyun was stunned for quite some time.
It took her a long while to find her voice again, "Sister-in-law, how did you know about this?"
"Your uncle won’t just let it go, I had someone keep an eye on him, and sure enough, he made his move."
"Last night, my uncle actually came to apologize with pancakes, and I thought after yesterday’s incident, my uncle had truly changed."
It seems now, she had thought too simply.
A young girl, not having faced society, unaware of its dangers, and not knowing that human hearts can be even more fearsome.
One moment they smile at you, and the next they stab you in the back.
"A dog can’t change its nature of eating feces; be cautious, always lock your door at night, and don’t eat anything your uncle and aunt send over, at least until your brothers return."
Fang Meiyun nodded. She also knew that if it wasn’t for her sister-in-law this time, she might have really met with disaster.
"Thank you, sister-in-law; I won’t take this money."
"Keep it as pensation. Be extra cautious around your uncle and aunt. If you’re heading to town, it’s best not to go alone. Remember the anti-abduction tips I told you before; I fear that your uncle and aunt would rather destroy the entire piece than let it go unpleted."
Human hearts are indeed difficult to fathom.
Fang Meiyun was shocked again.
What did her sister-in-law mean by that?
Uncle and aunt, they still plan to sell her off?
This thought made her gasp.
"I will remember; I’ll be careful."
"Yes, having a bit of guard against people means you won’t be easily deceived by anyone being nice for no reason."
But sister-in-law, you are very good to me.
"Sister-in-law, the village team is butchering a pig today, are you going to collect the meat?"
Collect the meat?
"You guys go ahead." They don’t want those parts, but she likes them.
Like bones, pig’s trotters, spiced intestines, and the like.
In this era, getting meat isn’t easy; most families prefer the fatty parts, but Xiaoxiao likes the lean meat.
No need to line up early and scramble for fatty meat.
Zhao Family Village Team is distributing meat.
Many kids are gathered around the pig butcher, not even afraid of the pig; after all, it’s meat.
Some villagers only get to eat meat once a year.
How could they not be curious?
"Xiangzi’s mother, where is Educated Youth Yun? Why don’t I see her ing?"
Mrs. Zhao looked around and indeed didn’t see Laosan’s wife.
She knew Laosan’s family was not short on meat.
"She’ll probably e in a bit; the pigs this year are quite fat, no telling how much meat we’ll get."
This immediately changed the topic.
Da Bao and Xiao Bao saw the meat being distributed and ran home to call Xiaoxiao.
"Mom, they’re distributing the meat; it’s happening now!"
Not having gone to work herself, with two young kids at home, and only Tianlei working the fields, who knew how much meat they’d be allocated?
It should be distributed per capita, right?
"No rush."
"Mom, if we don’t hurry, there won’t be any left."
Be none left?
How is that possible?
