Chapter 82: Otherwise, It Wouldn’t Be Enough to Vent My Anger
Yun Qinghuan: “…”
She bit her lip, instantly thinking of her ill-timed embrace on the mountain.
She still felt a bit awkward and just wanted to distance herself from him, so she said, “I can do it myself.”
Her outstretched hand didn’t retract.
The two of them were in a stalemate. In the end, Bai Naihan gave in first. He looked at Yun Qinghuan with a compromising expression and handed her the medicine. “Don’t apply the medicine yet. I’ll go pour some boiled water. Clean your wound first, then apply the medicine.”
Yun Qinghuan didn’t refuse this time.
After treating her wound, she went inside to lie down.
Perhaps she was truly frightened, because she fell into a deep sleep not long after lying in bed. In her dreams, she kept dreaming of being torn apart by the wild boar, and even the pain felt so real.
So much so that when she woke up from the dream upon hearing a knock on the door, Yun Qinghuan rubbed her temples, still feeling tired. But she had slept for a while, and the color had returned to her face.
She put on her shoes and opened the door, seeing Bai Naihan outside. The man was sitting in his wheelchair, looking up at her slightly. “Someone came to find me just now, saying the wild boar has been dealt with. Secretary Liu wants us to go pick out the pork. Do you want to go? If you don’t want to, just tell me what kind you want.”
Yun Qinghuan: “Go.”
One word, spoken with a bit of gritted teeth. “I still want to eat its meat tonight.”
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be enough to vent her anger.
“Okay,” the man said with a smile in his voice.
Walking to the door, Yun Qinghuan was still curious why she hadn’t seen that kid An’an. She curiously asked Bai Naihan.
“That child wasn’t scared by what happened today. Knowing they were going to kill the wild boar, he ran off to watch with Grandma Chen’s grandson, Wa Dan.”
When they arrived at the place, it was surrounded by a crowd of people, and the strong smell of blood could be perceived from far away.
The people beside them saw Yun Qinghuan arrive and said directly, “Educated youth Yun is here, everyone make way.”
Instantly, a path was cleared.
Secretary Liu stood there. He didn’t react when he saw her arrive but directly looked at Bai Naihan, who was following behind Yun Qinghuan. “Brother Bai, take a look at what kind of meat your family wants. I’ll have someone cut it.”
Bai Naihan smiled and looked at Yun Qinghuan, pointing at her. “Secretary Liu, my sister-in-law is in charge of our family. Just ask her directly.”
Secretary Liu was surprised. Dividing pork was a big deal, and usually, the men of the family were in charge.
Especially since this was a whole fifty catty of pork. To give the right of choice to a woman so easily?
Liu Yuzhi also said, “My daughter-in-law is in charge. This wild boar frightened her today, so shouldn’t she be in charge? She suffered a great deal.”
She looked at Yun Qinghuan, her tone gentle. “Whatever kind of meat you want to eat, just have them cut it.”
Since the other two people in the Bai family had said so, Secretary Liu, although still feeling that it wasn’t appropriate to leave this matter to a woman, didn’t say anything more and turned to ask Yun Qinghuan.
The people surrounding them watched nervously, afraid that Yun Qinghuan would choose parts with a lot of fat.
But none of them dared to complain.
Didn’t they see Granny Liu staring at them?
Thinking of how Granny Liu had beaten Granny Wang until her face was bleeding last time, and the scars on Granny Wang’s face hadn’t even faded yet, everyone was a bit scared.
Yun Qinghuan first stood in front of the already processed wild boar. Seeing a good piece of streaky pork, she pointed and said, “Cut ten catty from here.” Then she pointed to the ribs. “Cut ten catty of these ribs. The rest, I want all the meat from here.”
She pointed to the hind leg of the wild boar.
The meat there was leaner, and she preferred lean meat.
As soon as she said this, the surrounding women instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Some even looked at Yun Qinghuan with the eyes of an idiot.
“She’s still just a woman, doesn’t know how to choose meat at all. Granny Liu even entrusted her with the task of cutting meat, and she even chose ribs. So many bones take up weight, and what’s wrapped around them is all lean meat.”
Granny Wang said beside her with a fake smile, “A mother-in-law should really keep an eye on things. Entrusting everything to the daughter-in-law, see what happened? All the cuts are useless! Stir-frying won’t even taste good.”
The remaining thirty catty of hind leg meat that Yun Qinghuan chose probably only had five or six catty of fat.
If it were them, as long as Secretary Liu didn’t object, they would take as much fatty meat as possible, and as for ribs, they would avoid them if possible.
Liu Yuzhi didn’t indulge her. Hearing this, she glanced at her sideways. “I’m not like some mothers-in-law who keep an eye on things, wishing they could torment their daughters-in-law to death. My daughter-in-law is in charge of the cooking, and she cooks deliciously, so naturally I listen to her. She can eat whatever meat she wants. Anyway, any meat in her hands becomes a delicacy, unlike some people who, even if it’s all fat, can’t cook it well.”
Granny Wang gritted her teeth, her mouth twisted with anger.
The surrounding people covered their mouths and laughed.
Indeed, educated youth Yun’s cooking skills were obvious to everyone.
Even a simple stir-fried green vegetable she made tasted better than theirs.
After the Bai family’s fifty catty of meat was cut, the rest was divided among every household in the village.
Because this wild boar was hunted by Bai Naihan and Yun Qinghuan, it was considered accidentally obtained food and was not distributed according to work points but according to the population of each household. There was a set amount for adults and children.
Everyone had no objections.
In the end, each household received almost two catty of meat.
This was quite a lot of meat, and everyone smiled happily, showing their teeth.
Even if those who lined up at the back received meat that wasn’t considered good meat by most, with only some ribs or lean meat left, everyone was still very happy.
Many families hadn’t seen meat for several months, and this wild boar meat was just right to supplement the oil in their stomachs.
While the pork was being divided, Yun Qinghuan curiously watched from the side, not leaving.
Her eyes were fixed on the pig offal inside the wild boar’s belly, such as the pig stomach, large intestine, and lungs.
Because the smell of the pig offal was particularly pungent, those men had directly thrown it onto the dry grass further away.
Yun Qinghuan quietly asked Bai Naihan, pointing at the pig offal, “What are they going to do with those pig offal later?”
The pig offal wasn’t included in the total weight of the divided pork.
When the man saw the pig offal, he frowned. “That stuff isn’t tasty, it has a pungent smell, and no matter how you clean it, it won’t be completely clean. Usually, whoever wants it can just take it in the end, but very few people want it.”
“What if no one wants it?”
“It’ll rot and be used as fertilizer for the fields.”
“Isn’t that a waste?” Yun Qinghuan thought of the braised pig offal she had eaten in her previous life and felt a bit hungry.
If cooked well, pig offal was a good thing. She hadn’t expected these people to treat it as fertilizer.
Seeing her expression, Bai Naihan understood what she was thinking and reminded her, “It’s really not tasty.”
Yun Qinghuan glanced at him, her tone a bit smug. “That’s because you don’t know how to cook it.”
Seeing her like this, Bai Naihan made a fist and placed it by his mouth, chuckling softly. “Then you have to keep it a secret and not let people know this stuff is tasty, otherwise we won’t be able to get any.”
Although he said this, Bai Naihan didn’t really believe that pig offal was tasty. When he was in the army, the cook had also made it, and they had been generous with oil and seasonings, but it still wasn’t very tasty. It always had a strange smell.
Xia Yuhua was tugging on Gu Mingliang’s arm, seeing Bai Naihan and Yun Qinghuan talking in the distance, their posture very intimate, and she gritted her teeth in anger.
