Chapter 15 The Birds Are Jealous

Li Meng left the steel rolling mill after getting the meat ticket. Wild boar meat is not tasty and cannot be compared with domestic pig meat.

I was drinking with Shazhu in the evening. He provided the meat, so I had to go buy pork from the buyer.

Purchaser Wang Daguo was very happy as he achieved the target of more than 300 kilograms of meat.

He was smoking outside when he heard someone calling him from behind: "Xiao Wang, who was that person just now? Why is he covered in blood? Was he injured in the workshop?"

"Deputy Director Li?" Wang Daguo turned around and said, "He's not a worker. He's the husband of a female worker in our factory, Zhang Chunmei's husband."

"Zhang Chunmei? Why does this name sound so familiar?" Li Huaide frowned: "Is she the one with the red birthmark on her face?"

"Yes, it's her man." Wang Daguo said with a smile: "Director, let me tell you, her man is incredible. The blood in his body is wild boar blood..."

After explaining the cause and effect, Li Huaide also showed a trace of shock on his face: "It's incredible, this is a natural power, right? There are many capable people in the army, but such people are rare. Zhang Chunmei married a good man."

"Of course, no one knows which cloud will bring rain. I never thought that Zhang Chunmei would marry a handsome and capable guy like Li Meng. I also heard some gossip that Li Meng was a refugee and fainted in the alley. It was Zhang Chunmei who saved him..."

......

In the evening, when it was time to get off work at the steel rolling mill, Sha Zhu returned to the compound carrying his net bag and humming a little tune.

As soon as I entered the front yard, I was surrounded by a group of people.

"Shazhu, Li Meng came back this afternoon with an axe in his hand and covered in blood. We didn't dare to ask him. Do you know what happened?" asked the third aunt.

Yan Bugui also swallowed his saliva: "Silly Zhu, Li Meng wouldn't have killed anyone, right?"

Jia Zhang hugged her shoulders and pouted, "If I wasn't afraid of his revenge, I would have called the police."

"What can I say?" Second Aunt echoed, "Silly Zhu, your Aunt Zhang was so scared by Li Meng this morning that she pulled her trouser pockets. That boy doesn't look like a good person to me. He is not a good person!"

"Go! What are you doing?"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he laughed: "What are you talking about? What do you mean by killing someone? Li Meng killed a pig."

"Kill a pig?"

"Yes." Sha Zhu said, "Li Meng went hunting in the mountains today. You would never guess that he took an axe and fought a 300-pound wild boar. He killed it in no time and then carried it to our factory to sell. This guy is amazing!"

The residents were dumbfounded when they heard this.

Singlehandedly challenge the wild boar?

About 300 pounds?

Carry it back to the steel mill?

Yan Bugui's mouth twitched: "Silly Zhu, is this true? Don't tease me, can a human beat a wild boar?"

"Nonsense, Wu Song can even fight a tiger."

"How can they be the same? Wu Song is a character in a literary work, this reality..."

"In real life, there was also a king who lifted the tripod. Haven't you heard of Xiang Yu? Speaking of more recent times, there was also a powerful king in the Qing Dynasty. You are a cultured man, Uncle."

Sha Zhu smiled and said, "Well, I won't chat with you anymore. I have an appointment with Li Meng. We need to have a drink together today."

As Sha Zhu said this, he walked into the central courtyard.

Leaving behind a group of residents looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Oh my god, more than 300 kilograms..." Yan Bugui calculated in his mind and said in surprise: "Then it must be sold for at least 200 yuan, not counting the meat coupons!"

"200 yuan..." The third aunt also swallowed her saliva: "They say that marrying into the family is a good thing, but this person has just earned more than 200 yuan for the family. This is really..."

"Go!" Yan Bugui glared at her and said, "You old woman, you are just talking nonsense. What do you mean you just broke in?"

Yan Jiecheng, the son of Yan Bugui, laughed dryly, shook his head and smacked his lips, saying, "Zhang Chunmei's family won't have to worry about their lives anymore. Not to mention getting a harvest every day, even if they can only kill one wild boar like this a year, plus Zhang Chunmei's salary, her family can spend it as much as they want."

"Yes." The second aunt said, "This is equivalent to a working couple. Li Meng occasionally carries a big bag and occasionally goes hunting to supplement the family income. The young couple has no elderly people and both have city hukou... I dare not even think about this kind of life!"

"Damn, all the good things happen to his family. It's fucking unbelievable." Yan Jiecheng said jealously.

Yan Bugui kicked him and shouted, "What are you talking about!"

I thought to myself, it’s okay to say this kind of thing at home, but how can I say it in front of outsiders?

The residents were talking to each other, shocked at Li Meng's ability, but more of them were envious, or to be more precise, jealous, as they couldn't bear to see others living better than themselves.

......

Soon, Zhang Chunmei also went home from get off work.

"Wife, you're back." Li Meng smiled and pointed at the pork on the chopping board. "I bought a pound of pork and some vegetables. We'll go to Sha Zhu's house to eat later. We've made an appointment. Today I'll provide the meat, and he'll provide the cooking skills and the wine. Let's have a good meal to celebrate."

Zhang Chunmei also laughed: "We should celebrate. You are capable as the boss. You have earned more than 200 yuan in one day. I have really found a treasure."

As she said this, she took the initiative to hug Li Meng, her eyes full of happiness and sweetness.

Zhang Chunmei felt that she had hit upon great luck after picking up a husband who was handsome, capable, and could make money, and who was about to cure the birthmark that had troubled her for years.

"You are my treasure too. Come, let me cherish my big baby."

Li Meng hugged his wife, and the couple stayed together for a long time. Zhang Chunmei sniffed and said, "Hey, boss, what smells so good?"

"It's tea."

Li Meng brought the big teacup over and said with a smile, "Try a sip?"

This was exactly the reward he received, the Dahongpao from the mother tree of Wuyi Mountain!

The real thing is more valuable than gold, and it cannot be bought with money.

Zhang Chunmei took a sip and said, "Wow, this tea is really delicious. Where did you buy it, boss?"

She didn't know how to taste tea, she just thought it tasted good and didn't take it too seriously, so she just asked casually.

Li Meng also said casually: "I met a man from the countryside who came to the city to speculate and profiteer, so I bought a few taels of silver. It didn't cost much."

When it comes to money, Zhang Chunmei took out the more than two hundred yuan that Li Meng gave her from her pocket.

"Boss, I've told you that you are the one who makes the decisions on all matters in our family, and you will be in charge of the money from now on."

"So good?"

"Hey, isn't this as it should be? Aren't the men in charge of the family? Shouldn't the women be in charge?"

"Haha, you're so good. Wait till tonight, and I'll have to reward you well."

Li Meng didn't act pretentiously. He put the money into his pocket, but actually put it into his personal space.

"Let's go, wife. Sha Zhu is probably home now. He might be waiting for us. Let's go and try his cooking."

"to make."

As they talked, the couple carried the vegetables and meat and walked towards the central courtyard, where they bumped into Sha Zhu.

"Hey, Mengzi, I was just looking for you."

"Haha, the ingredients are all bought, the rest is up to you."

Sha Zhu patted his chest and said, "No problem, I'll let you have a taste of my cooking skills!"
