Chapter 40 Pork Belly Strips
Sitting with Mrs. Wu was her daughter-in-law, Cuiniang, who was in her early twenties, ordinary in appearance, but shrewd in her eyes.When she saw something in Mu Qingyi's back basket, which was climbing up, her eyes lit up, and she quickly pushed her mother-in-law beside her, motioning her to take a look.

Mu Qingyi's back basket was stuffed to the brim, with groceries stuffed underneath, rice noodles and meat on top, the meat was huge, it was a whole strip of five-layered pork belly, even though it was raw, it still made people look at it Can't help swallowing.

Hu Ziniang also saw it now, a dark light flashed in her eyes, and she swallowed hard.

Don't blame them for being greedy, it's been a long time since I've seen Hun Xing.

Old Mu's family is considered to have the best life in the village, with green brick and tile houses, [-] acres of fertile land, and the pension given by the medical office when Mu Sanshun died, everyone is envious of their life.

The rest of the village lived off the few acres of Susukida at home, and it was considered good to be able to barely eat enough, as there was no spare money to buy meat.

There was a severe drought this year, and the harvest in the fields was extremely poor. Seeing that food was a problem, these women made some simple shoes, socks and handkerchiefs at home and sold them in the town. It can't be sold for a few dollars, but at most it can subsidize a few meals at home.

At this moment, seeing the rice noodles and meat exposed in Mu Qingyi's basket, who wouldn't be jealous?
As if Mu Qingyi didn't see their fiery eyes staring at her basket, after unloading the basket, she said to Uncle Zhang: "Master, let's go back!"

Uncle Zhang is an honest man who doesn't talk much, seeing the wolf-like eyes of the three wives, he frowned fiercely, and said to Mu Qingyi: "Hold things up, and sit still."

Mu Qingyi smiled and nodded to Uncle Zhang: "I know." Uncle Zhang is a kind-hearted man, otherwise he wouldn't be waiting for her here just for a coin.

The bullock cart slowly walked out of the noisy town and walked up the mountain path back to the village.

Cuiniang touched her mother-in-law Wu Shi with her arm, and gave her a wink.

Mrs. Wu understood, pretending not to care, and said, "Girl Qingyi, didn't you cry at the door of Lao Mu's house yesterday, saying that my younger brother is sick and has no money for medical treatment? Why do you have money to buy meat today?"

Cuiniang laughed lightly, and followed her mother-in-law's words: "Mother, what are you talking about? The little girl has a thin skin, so she won't tell you this." Then she deliberately lowered her voice and said: "I heard that the old Mu's family lived at home last night. I was robbed by a thief, and the whole house was stolen." It seemed that the voice was lowered, but the volume of the voice could still be heard by everyone in the car.

When Hu Ziniang heard this, her eyes lit up again.So, this girl Mu Qingyi stole old Mu's money to buy meat?

In the morning, her family hadn't stopped, so she was naturally not in the mood to gossip, so she didn't know anything about the old Mu's family.

Even Wu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been busy bringing embroidery to the town to sell. They only heard that Lao Mu's house had been burglarized, but they didn't know anything else.

But they all know one thing, the spoils are shared.

If the things in Mu Qingyi's basket were bought by stealing money from the old Mu's family, then they are stolen goods. They will have a share of the stolen goods, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Mu Qingyi smiled lightly, leaning her back against the narrow cross-board of the car, crossing her arms around her chest, "Who stipulates that if you didn't have money to buy meat yesterday, you have to have no money to buy meat today?"

Hu Ziniang thought of Hu Zi still lying on the bed with a white face, her heart ached, her eyes became hotter as she looked at the pork belly, she slapped Mu Qingyi, and whispered: "Qing Yi girl, give me half of the meaty noodles, and I will definitely not tell your grandma and your uncle and uncle."
