Chapter 214 Killing Pigs
The whole family will move to City Z after the New Year. The poultry and livestock at home cannot be taken with them. Wan An Ning discussed with Feng Xiangmei and decided that the family is not short of money, so they might as well kill them all during the New Year and distribute the money to their uncles.
When Su Ruyi came over, there was a leg of lamb hanging on the handlebars of the bicycle.
Feng Xiangmei couldn't help laughing when she saw him: "Xiao Su, you can come if you want, but why did you bring a leg of lamb? My family is slaughtering a pig today, are you afraid that you won't have any meat to eat?"
Su Ruyi handed over the lamb leg: "My family raised the lamb ourselves. We just slaughtered it yesterday. When I came here, my mother asked me to bring a lamb leg with me. It's cold now so I can drink some lamb soup to keep warm."
Feng Xiangmei didn't bother to be polite and took the leg of lamb and hung it under the eaves.
Then he said to Feng Zhanpeng, Feng Qianyang and other nephews in the yard, "Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and catch the pig, tie it up and drag it to the open space at the west end of the village. The butcher has already set up a big pot and started to boil water. When the water boils, he will start to slaughter the pig. I heard from the butcher that there are two more families from other villages coming over today. Let's drag the pig over first and clean it so that we can cook the meat early when we come back!"
Feng Qianyang immediately stood up: "Okay, let us brothers take care of it, little aunt, just hold it!"
Feng Qianyang, Feng Jinku, Feng Yinku and others also hurriedly got up and went to the pigsty to catch the pigs. The brothers worked together, and after Feng Jinku and Feng Yinku fell in the pigsty, Feng Qianyang and Feng Zhanpeng finally each lifted one of the pig's hind legs and lifted up the fat pig weighing more than 100 pounds.
They tied up the pig in a hurry and lifted it onto the cart. Then a group of people pulled the pig to the west end of the village.
Yang Chunhua, who was in the backyard, originally wanted to take her child with her to have a good chat with Feng Xiangmei, but when she was about to reach the front door, she stopped in her tracks.
Because she found that Feng Xiangmei's tall and strong nephews from her mother's side had all arrived...
Yang Chunhua was so frightened that she trembled and the child in her arms almost fell to the ground. She didn't care about anything else, hugged the child tightly in her arms, turned around and ran to the backyard.
It wasn't until she returned to the backyard and closed the door tightly that she breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong? It's like there's a ghost chasing you."
Seeing how nervous she was, Wan Guofu quickly took the child and asked with a smile.
Yang Chunhua patted her chest, looking frightened.
"The front yard... there are so many people in the front yard..."
"Why are there so many people here? What are they doing?"
Yang Chunhua took several deep breaths before she calmed down a little.
"I heard that Feng Xiangmei and her team were slaughtering pigs today, so I thought about going over to talk to her. If she could bring back a few pounds of pork, that would be great..."
Wan Guofu frowned, "She's leaving after the New Year and doesn't want to leave anything to us. It's understandable that we're dealing with the livestock she fed before the New Year. Don't go over and provoke her. If she makes a fuss and refuses to leave, we'll be in trouble."
Wan Guofu now just wants to spend the New Year in peace and stability. After the New Year, Feng Xiangmei can leave Wanjia Village smoothly, and then everything will be fine.
Therefore, he didn't want Yang Chunhua to have any contact with Feng Xiangmei at all. What if something he said irritated her and she started making a fuss again, which would be a big trouble.
Yang Chunhua waved her hand at him: "Just listen to what I have to say. Those bandit-like nephews of Feng Xiangmei from the front yard are coming over again!"
"What?"
Wan Guofu couldn't help but stiffen: "Why, why is it happening again?"
Thinking back to when Wan An Ning asked herself if she was afraid her uncles would come and beat him up again...
He couldn't help but shudder: "Did An An lie to me? On the surface, she promised to persuade Feng Xiangmei to go back to Longwang Tower after the New Year, but in fact she called those bandit cousins of the Feng family to come and teach me a lesson?"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but swallow nervously.
"Did you see clearly? Are they coming this way?"
"I, I didn't see it clearly, but it didn't seem to be coming towards us..."
Wan Guofu quietly opened the door a crack, stuck his head out and took a peek. When he found that there was no one outside, he opened the door and walked out with confidence...
There were no cousins of the Feng family outside. He walked towards the front yard and saw Wan An Ning holding an enamel basin, locking the door and preparing to go out.
"An An, are your cousins here?"
Seeing that Wan An Ning was the only one there, Wan Guofu suddenly became bolder.
When Wan An Ning saw Wan Guofu's expression, she knew what he was thinking. She didn't want to cause any more trouble before leaving, so she said, "Don't worry, my cousin and the others are here to help kill the pigs, not to beat you."
Wan Guofu visibly relaxed: "It's okay, I just came here to ask if there's anything I can do to help you?"
"No, before we leave the village, you and Yang Chunhua should not come to us to show off your presence. That would be considered as helping."
Wan Guofu looked embarrassed.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't come here to cause trouble, I will definitely vacate the house for you before the end of the month after the New Year at the latest!"
Hearing Wan An Ning say this, Wan Guofu finally put his mind at ease: "I, I definitely believe you. Your mother listens to you the most now, and I can only ask you for help..."
Wan An Ning took a deep breath and said, "I hope this is the last time you ask me for help. From now on...out of sight, out of mind!"
After saying that, she didn't care about Wan Guofu's reaction and went to the west end of the village with the enamel basin.
Before she reached the open space at the west end, she saw Feng Qiankun running towards her quickly.
Stopping in front of her, Feng Qiankun took the enamel basin from Wan An Ning's hand and said with a heavy breath, "My brother asked me to take the basin over. They're going to start slaughtering pigs soon, and we need to collect the pig's blood. Also, my brother told you to take my aunt away, and you two girls, don't watch..."
After saying that, he ran back again.
The open space was already surrounded by people. Wan An Ning was relieved when he saw Feng Xiangmei consciously find a place away from the crowd.
She walked to Feng Xiangmei and was about to speak when she heard the sharp squeals of pigs and the laughter of people watching the fun.
Feng Xiangmei looked towards the crowd, her eyebrows curved with a smile, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened.
"When we move to City Z, will we never see such scenes again?"
Wan An Ning took her arm, gently leaned his head on her shoulder, and said with a smile: "When your brother or sister is older, if you want to come back, we can come back to visit and spend the New Year here!"
Feng Xiangmei thought that Wan An Ning had a furniture factory here, so she would definitely come back. However, even if she came back from City Z in the future, she would definitely not come to Wanjia Village again. At most, she would stay at her mother's home in Longwanglou for a while.
"Well, we'll just live at your fifth uncle's house then."
