The corners of Mrs. Mo's mouth twitched. She glanced at the complacent Sister Lian and said nothing.

Sister Lian became even more proud and continued to talk loudly with others, asking them what good things they had received.

Mrs. Mo sat there listening, and by the end, she became more and more jealous. She was so angry that she stood up and went home.

Sister Lian's eyes flashed with disdain, and she said to the woman sitting next to her, "Look at Mrs. Mo, she has such patience that no one can say anything."

"If she hadn't treated Yun Xi like that before, would the Lu family have refused to give them anything? They deserve it!"

The woman also nodded: "Who said it wasn't true? What Madam Mo said at that time was so unpleasant that I couldn't bear to hear it. So, it's better for people to be more careful with their words."

The two of them kept talking about all the past faults of Mrs. Mo, chatting until it was time to go home and cook, then they left.

The Lu family didn't know what Sister Lian and the others were talking about, and they were too lazy to pay attention to it. At this time, the Lu family was busy watching the slaughtering of pigs and dividing the pork at the village chief's house!

It was a black pig that Old Man Lu had specially asked someone to buy from another village. The Lu family was afraid of dirtying the yard, so they carried the pig to the village chief's yard to slaughter it.

The village chief's yard is a mud yard, but it is spacious enough and there is no need to worry about it getting dirty.

Old Man Lu used to be a butcher. Although he was old and hadn't slaughtered pigs for a long time, his skills were still there. With the help of Lu Yuancheng and Lu Yuanping, he quickly slaughtered the pig.

The village chief's wife had already put the pot on the stove, ready to cook the pig-killing dishes so that everyone could have a lively meal.

He Feng brought Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Dong to help clean the pig hair and divide the pork.

The pork and internal organs were used to make the pig-killing dish, and as for the rest, Father Lu simply cut a large piece of the hind leg and gave 20 kilograms of pork to the village chief's family.

The village chief and his wife quickly refused: "Brother, because of you, our family is getting better and better now, how can we still accept your pork!"

"You have a large family, so take them back quickly. They can still be eaten for a few days. We also bought some meat. We really can't accept them."

However, He Feng pretended to be angry and said, "Sister-in-law, you have really changed. You didn't even accept the pork we gave you, and you still say you treat us as a family!"

After these words were spoken, the village chief and his wife felt helpless. It would be really inappropriate if they didn't accept it.

The village head's wife had no choice but to nod and accept a large piece of pork hind leg and about 20 kilograms of pork. She thought to herself that she would wait until the first day of the new year and give a thick red envelope to Yun Xi's sons.

In this way, they can be considered to have paid back part of the money and will feel better.

He Feng was happy to see that the village head's wife accepted the pork. She smiled and helped the village head's wife take the pork to the kitchen and put it away. She also asked Sister Ying to help and prepare the pig-killing dish with the village head's wife.

The pig-slaughtering dish was ready, and He Feng asked the servants to call Gu Yunxi and others to come to the village chief's house for dinner.

Gu Yunxi was eating the hot and fragrant pig-killing dish, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, this pig-killing dish really has a strong meaty aroma!

She had never tasted this flavor in her previous life. It was indeed the fragrance of pork fed with grass and grains!

After eating the pig-slaughtering meal, Lu Yuancheng and Lu Yuanping helped Old Man Lu to transport the pork back to the Lu family. When passing through the village, many villagers saw such a big black pig and drooled with envy.

But they also knew that they couldn't afford to eat such meat. However, it was still okay to go to the town to buy some pork to make dumplings during the New Year.

So, on this day, which happened to be the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the market day in town, many people from Xijiang Village went to the town to buy half a catty and eight taels of pork.

As luck would have it, in Dongpo Village, Mr. Gu also went out to the market. When he met an acquaintance from Xijiang Village, he pulled the person aside and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with the people in your village? How come everyone can afford pork?"

In his impression, Xijiang Village was even more remote and poorer than Dongpo Village. Throughout the year, he hardly saw people from their village coming out to buy things, let alone buy meat.

The acquaintance smiled and said, "You don't know yet, do you? Today in our village, the Lu family slaughtered a black pig. The aroma of the pig-killing dishes wafted through the air. Almost everyone in the village could smell it. It was so fragrant. We had no choice but to bite the bullet and cut some meat to take home to eat meat during the New Year."

"Oh, by the way, isn't the Lu family your grandson-in-law's family? Mr. Gu, maybe the Lu family will send pork to your family soon. You are so lucky to have such a promising grandson-in-law!"

The acquaintance's flattering words made Mr. Gu feel a little elated, but he was not too sure whether that damn girl Yun Xi could deliver meat to their Gu family.

But once this thought came to his mind, he could no longer suppress it. Old Man Gu quickly bought what he needed, took the village ox cart, and hurried home, fearing that he would go back too late and would not meet Gu Yunxi.

When he got home, he asked Gu Yunyan who was sitting in the yard, "Yunyan, where is your sister Yunxi? Where is the meat?"

"Where is Sister Yunxi? Grandpa, what are you talking about? Have I hidden Sister Yunxi?" Gu Yunyan was speechless and rolled her eyes at Grandpa Gu.

Now her mother, Mrs. Wu, is in good health. Without the pressure of her mother-in-law, she is in high spirits. She is no longer afraid of Mr. Gu, an elderly man who is getting older and older.

Gu Yunyan looked at her mother and followed her example. Now she was not afraid of Old Man Gu at all and would even talk back to him from time to time.

Mr. Gu was speechless and asked again: "Yun Xi has never come back? She hasn't come back yet?"

Gu Yunyan became even more impatient, so she stood up and said, "She hasn't come back yet. If you miss her, you can go to the capital to find her."

After saying that, Gu Yunyan turned around and prepared to walk into the house, saying as he walked: "I am really getting old and confused. What about Yunxi? Maybe she is far away in the capital. How can she remember her last name?"

She had been staying at home and didn't know that Gu Yunxi had already returned to Xijiang Village. So, at this time, she thought that the Lu family was in Beijing and would not come back to celebrate the New Year.

Old Master Gu went back to the house and the kitchen and searched everywhere, but he did not see Gu Yunxi. More importantly, he did not see any pork.

He walked out with a gloomy face and headed towards Boss Gu's house.

When they arrived at Mr. Gu's house, they found the door was closed. Mr. Gu raised his hand and knocked on the iron door. Mrs. Lin, who was sitting in the yard making cotton-padded clothes, heard the knock. She looked through the crack and saw that it was Mr. Gu. She didn't dare to open the door and ran into the house to tell Mr. Gu.

"Boss, your father is here, should we open the door?" Madam Lin looked at Boss Gu without blinking.

Boss Gu was sitting on the heated kang. He frowned when he heard this and said, "What is he doing here? Forget it. Go open the door. I'll go out and take a look too."

Mrs. Lin nodded, walked out again, and opened the door for Mr. Gu calmly.
