The butcher was very experienced, and dealt with the pigs efficiently . When the meat was portioned out, everyone queued up to get their share . The brigade leader, Wang Mingtao, stood by to supervise while Wang Qingshan kept the records .
The Gu family also got some meat, but not much .
Gu Conghua was a landlord and Wen Ruyu was the daughter of a capitalist . They usually had no part in such events . Even the old men and women in the cowshed had not come .
Although they reared the pigs, chickens and ducks, they had no share in the meat .
But Gu Conghua was a doctor and had treated everyone in the surrounding villages, so he was treated a little better . Wang Mingtao made the decision to give Gu Conghua a share, but Gu Conghua did not ask for much – only half a portion .
He only took half a share at the annual meat distribution, and even then, his sons or grandchildren came to collect it . He never involved himself .
Now that Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Yunshen were divorced, Gu Yunshen was the only adult in the Gu Family, so he got a kilogram of meat . Gu Conghua got half a share and as a child, Gu Qingyao also got half a kilogram . That made a total of two kilograms of meat .
As for Gu Jinlin and the others, their food accounts were not here, so they did not get a share .
Gu Qingyao carried her family’s two kilograms of meat, while Chen Xiaocao carried her family’s single kilogram of meat . She was flushed with excitement and looked especially adorable .
The Zhang family were also present . Their family was larger, so they got more meat, including Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing’s share . Zhang Xiaohui and Old Madam Zhang snorted smugly when they saw Gu Qingyao, but Gu Qingyao did not say anything .
I’m in a good mood these days . I won’t quibble with you now .
But seeing how smug you are, I think it would be unkind if I don’t make some trouble for you!
Gu Qingyao looked at Zhang Xiaohui . Her innocent smile made Zhang Xiaohui break out in goosebumps .
“Damn girl, what are you looking at?”
Gu Qingyao did not reply .
Zhang Xiaohui looked disdainful . “What’s the matter? Are you eyeing our family’s meat? Ah! Look at how little you have, barely enough for your family to sink their teeth into . Let me tell you, you are no relative of mine now . Stop staring . You won’t get a share .
“Make yourself scarce in the future, or I’ll make sure you’re sorry . ”
Gu Qingyao’s mouth twitched . “Aunt, why do I have this feeling that you’ve gotten much fatter?”
Zhang Xiaohui had recently become notorious within the brigade . Many people had looked at her when she arrived, and now that Gu Qingyao said that, everyone paid even closer attention . They carefully examined her to see if she had indeed gained weight .
Zhang Xiaohui’s heart leapt in fear . She instinctively hid behind Old Madam Zhang . “What nonsense is that? It’s cold, so I wore a few more layers . What are you trying to say?”
Gu Qingyao laughed . “Aunt, why are you getting so agitated? I only wanted to say that your life has improved since you went back to live with the Zhang family . Look at how plump you’ve grown . It’s your good fortune! Why are you so angry?”
Zhang Xiaohui: “…”
In these times, being fat was a blessing, and it was a compliment!
Gu Qingyao snorted frostily when she saw that Zhang Xiaohui could not find a retort . She grabbed her things and left .
Did they think things were over just because they were divorced . ?
Ahah! Zhang Xiaohui, you just wait . I’ll show you what it feels like to live in terror!
Gu Jinlin trembled to see the smile on Gu Qingyao’s lips . “Younger sister, what are you thinking about?”
Gu Qingyao turned to look at her third elder brother . She raised her brows and laughed!
“Third Elder Brother, tell me, if someone is bullied, should they seek revenge?”
