Chapter 162

162 Not Optimistic About Li Yan

Soon, the men hung up the two pigs.

The two pigs were divided into four parts, so they found four wooden ladders.

Zhao Xiu and He Hui were spreading washed banana leaves on the flat lid. They could use them to store pork later.

!!

Li Xiaoqing and Little Huzi were with Guan Kang. The three of them went to tease Big Yellow and the others.

Li Xiaoran and Little Huzi’s grandmother tidied up the vegetables they had picked from the field and placed them in the water to wash.

“In the entire village, the round radishes your father planted are the most best!” Little Huzi’s grandmother cut off the roots of the round radish with a knife and praised, “Speaking of which, if your father is ranked second, no one will be ranked first!”

“If you like them, you can bring two back later! My father planted a lot, and our family can’t eat so much!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.

“If you say so, then I won’t stand on ceremony! I’m an old person, so I like to eat radishes, especially when stewed with pork trotters. Radishes are also very soft. It just so happens that I have bad teeth!” Little Huzi’s grandmother replied with a smile.

“Don’t stand on ceremony with us. If you want to eat it, tell Little Huzi. We’ll let Little Huzi carry it back for you!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “You also said that my father is good at farming. In the future, you won’t have to worry about these vegetables and fruits! In the future, if you want to eat anything, feel free to come and get it!”

“Alright, alright, I’ll come shamelessly!” Little Huzi’s grandmother also smiled.

Soon, a large pile of pig guts was cut off.

Next, they dealt with pieces of pork.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoran first took some pork and planned to fry some crispy meat and meatballs.

In addition, Li Xiaoran also cut some pig liver.

“Xiao Qing, go out to the orchard and pick some blood-skinned vegetables!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and stood in the courtyard to shout.

“Got it, Sister!” Li Xiaoqing replied as she ran back to get the basket and went out to get blood-skinned vegetables.

Zhao Xiu thought of something and said, “Speaking of which, with more people around, it’s livelier today. Let’s go to the fields to pick some peas later and cut some chives. Let’s make chive dumplings tonight!”

“Don’t. How much can we eat?! There’s already enough meat!” He Hui quickly dissuaded.

“Aunt Hui, listen to my mother! It’s rare for us to gather for a reunion. It won’t spoil even if we make more dumplings.” Li Xiaoran felt that her mother’s idea was very good and agreed.

“I love dumplings!” Guan Kang, who had just returned from picking vegetables with Li Xiaoqing, heard something and said.

“Yes, yes, yes, we like dumplings too!” When Li Xiaoqing heard Guan Kang’s words, she quickly expressed her intentions.

“We’ll definitely eat dumplings tonight. There’s plenty!” Zhao Xiu waved her hand and said generously.

Now, the three children cheered.

He Hui saw the happy smile on her son’s face and did not object anymore.

Seeing that Guan Kang could jump and run, Zhao Xiu nudged He Hui and lowered her voice. “Kang’er has recovered, right?”

“Yes, he’s cured! Kang’er was lucky and had some fortuitous encounters. His health is much better now, but he’s a little weaker than a normal child. It’ll be fine as long as we pay more attention to his body when the weather changes!” He Hui replied with a smile.

“Thank God, this is a good thing! As parents, no matter how difficult or tiring life is, as long as the child is well, everything is worth it! Kang’er’s current situation is due to your hard work all these years!” When Zhao Xiu heard this, she was happy for He Hui from the bottom of her heart.

“That’s right! Congratulations on escaping that living hell and welcoming a good life! Although your son-in-law has a cold personality, he’s not a bad person!” He Hui was sincerely happy for Zhao Xiu.

“That’s right. Everyone thinks that my son-in-law is a mean person. I used to think so too. After Xiaoran married over, we realized that we were wrong. Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to my son-in-law that we can live a good life now. If it were anyone else, they might not have been able to deal with the Li family!” Zhao Xiu said.

“That’s why people have to see if they’re fated or not. When a suitable pot is matched with a suitable lid, it’s called marriage!” He Hui said, “Just like how others think that Li Yan is good, but I don’t think so!”

Since they were just chatting, Zhao Xiu asked, “What do you mean?”

“Others might not know what Li Yan is like, but you and I know. A person like her, who has high standards but low abilities, definitely won’t have a good life if she marries a scholar! If Pei Xuanxin doesn’t have much success in his life, Li Yan might have a better life. If Pei Xuanxin really has achievements, Li Yan will have a hard time in the future!” He Hui said wisely.

“How can that be? If Pei Xuanxin becomes successful in the future, won’t Li Yan’s life be better?” Zhao Xiu was a little puzzled. “Could it be that women shouldn’t marry scholars?!”

“You can’t let one bad apple spoil the bunch. It depends on the person. It’s not that I don’t think highly of Pei Xuanxin, but I don’t think highly of Li Yan. With Li Yan’s personality, she can even turn a good life into a bad one. Do you believe me?” He Hui said.

When Zhao Xiu heard this, she thought about it carefully. It seemed to be true.

“Who cares? It has nothing to do with us! The best thing for me is that we’re away from the Li family. I don’t have to work for them anymore!”

“That’s true. I think the Li family will definitely regret it in the future!” He Hui also knew how Zhao Xiu had lived in the past and said with a smile.

Zhao Xiu looked at Li Shun and lowered her voice. “It doesn’t matter if they regret it or not. As long as they don’t disturb us, it’ll be fine! This matter really broke my man’s heart!”

“I should have seen through it long ago. It’s not that I want to criticize Li Shun. He’s not a bad person, but it’s just that he’s much more timid when it comes to his parents. If he had toughened up earlier, your family wouldn’t have been bullied all the time!” He Hui said.

Zhao Xiu nodded and then talked about other things.

After all, it was already over. It was better not to say anything more about it.

After the pork was divided piece by piece, Zhao Xiu and He Hui got busy.

They picked out some meat to make bacon and sausages, then everyone got busy.
