Chapter 296: An Wenjing's uncle, Lin Jiao's family history

The meat Chen Hui brought was very fresh and cheaper than the domestically raised meat in the market.

People who originally just wanted to join in the fun also bought some to take home.

After these people left, the market entrance was deserted after the stalls were closed, and passers-by would not even stop to take a look.

Chen Hui looked at the remaining half bucket of pork.

I counted the more than 100 yuan I earned from selling meat, and today was a very fruitful day.

He put the money in his pocket, rode his bike to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought a few pounds of salt and returned to the village.

He returned the tricycle to Jiang Houfa and left a piece of pork as a thank you gift.

Carrying the remaining meat back to Lin Jiao's house.

Standing outside the door, he observed the small house where the Tian brothers had been busy all day.

The frame of the cabin was built, and even the door frame was fixed into the brick wall.

After one night, the cement in the gaps between the bricks has almost dried. Tomorrow, I will lay the tiles on the roof beams and wait for the cement in the gaps between the bricks to dry completely.

The day after tomorrow, the inside and outside of the house were smoothed with fine cement and covered with bricks.

After the cement is dry, install the door panel to the door frame.

Tian Ajun and Tian Aping will be able to finish building this small house in two days or at most two and a half days.

The door still needs to be adjusted by Jiang Houfa.

Is it better to open inwards or outwards?

Chen Hui was a little undecided, and just happened to hear An Wenjing's voice in the room.

He shouted loudly inside: "Wife!"

"Hey! Here I come!"

An Wenjing responded and came out.

He took the bucket from Chen Hui and took a look into the room.

He took Chen Hui's arm and walked towards the village, saying as he walked, "Let's take the meat back to Grandma Jinhua's house first."

"What's wrong? Is anyone at home?" Chen Hui asked puzzled.

"It's my uncle and aunt, they brought my cousin here." An Wenjing said.

"Uncle? Aren't you two on bad terms?"

"Yes!"

An Wenjing snorted lightly, her face full of disdain.

"What's going on between our family and my uncle's family? Tell me about it." Chen Hui asked curiously.

An Wenjing took Chen Hui's arm, and the two started talking as they walked towards Wu Jinhua's house.

It's not that complicated.

It's simply that the older brother and sister-in-law, who are married with children, don't like Lin Jiao, their younger sister who is still young and hasn't gotten married in exchange for a dowry.

He makes a fuss at home every day and just can't tolerate Lin Jiao.

Later Lin Jiao got married.

They also think that other girls, after getting married, will use money from their husband's family to support their own family.

Lin Jiao is such an ungrateful person that she had to ask for money several times after getting married.

He also complained that she was married far away and it was not easy to find her.

Other daughters would bring their sons-in-law home to work, but she was the most useless and was taken away by a man.

"My mother used to say that my uncle was a good person in the early years, saying that it was all instigated by my aunt. Fortunately, she came to her senses later."

"She finally understood that none of my uncles, my second uncle, or my grandfather were sincere to her."

“That’s why I’ve had such a hard time these years, and I’ve never looked for them.”

When An Wenjing talked about this, she looked very angry.

"So what is the purpose of my uncle coming here this time?" Chen Hui asked.

"I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing."

"If he tries to get close to you, his nephew's husband, and asks you to borrow money or something, you can't give him a penny!"

An Wenjing looked at Chen Hui and said seriously.

"Got it, I'll listen to you!"

Chen Hui smiled and pinched An Wenjing's face, patting her back, trying to help her vent her anger. An Wenjing seemed to be comforted by Chen Hui.

When I returned to Wu Jinhua's home, there was a smile on my face.

Chen Huihong is still processing the remaining pork.

Seeing Chen Hui coming back, he pointed at the small bucket beside him and said, "Pour it in there, I'll do it together later!"

"Are these all left? The village has sold a lot of them!" Chen Hui said in surprise.

"Yes!"

"At first, your mother-in-law and I were together, but later I was the only one left."

"I have to chop the meat and weigh it. If Xiaoqiao's wife hadn't helped me, I would have been too busy to handle it."

"I am really happy today, but I am also tired!"

Chen Huihong said this and skillfully took out a piece of meat.

Peel off the pig skin, spread salt on each side, put it on a chopping board and rub it vigorously, then spread another layer of salt on it and set it aside for later use.

"Aunt, let me join in!"

"My uncle is still here. I have to wait until he leaves before I can cook. Anyway, I will have dinner later today."

As An Wenjing spoke, she went to the sink to wash her hands and processed the pork with Chen Huihong.

Chen Hui was also involved.

After only getting two pieces of meat, he was criticized for his hands looking like chicken feet and his work was not up to standard at all, so Chen Huihong sent him aside to play.

Chen Hui had no choice but to help out on the side and told them about going to the county town to buy meat today.

As the sky gradually darkened, Wu Jinhua returned from the mountain.

Chen Hui's stomach also made long rumbling sounds.

"Brother Chen Hui, are you hungry?"

"Why don't we cook some noodles here at Grandma Jinhua's place and save the rice we cooked at home for tomorrow."

An Wenjing said distressedly.

"Wenjing, does your uncle have a bad relationship with your family?" Chen Huihong asked.

After all, they had chosen a special time to come.

Lin Jiao doesn't cook at home. She has to wait until everyone leaves before cooking.

Can this relationship still be good?
"No! It's okay!" An Wenjing said with a laugh.

"Tell the truth to your aunt, she won't spread it around." Chen Hui said.

An Wenjing repeated to Chen Huihong what she had just said to Chen Hui.

Chen Huihong sighed after hearing this.

Xiang Xiang said, "Maybe he is older and more sensible now, and feels that he was too harsh on his sister before, so he came back this time to improve the relationship?"

"Aunt, do you think that my uncle is old and sensible enough for him to come and build a house for me?" Chen Hui asked him.

"Ahem, didn't your uncle come to help these two days?"

Chen Huihong knew the real reason why Chen Xiangdong came to help, but she couldn't help but make an excuse for him.

"Forget it. My mom finally saw through it. I'd better not try to save the relationship."

"The most difficult days are over, and there is no need for any brother-sister relationship now." An Wenjing sighed.

Shake off the excess salt from your hands, wash your hands, and prepare some meat and vegetables to cook noodles.

Lin Hai, who lived opposite her, suddenly ran in.

Seeing Wen Jing, he said anxiously: "Go back and take a look! Your mother has been beaten!"

"Brother Ahai, what did you say?" An Wenjing said in disbelief.

"Your mother was beaten by your relatives. When we heard the noise and went in to stop the fight, she had been beaten to the ground." Lin Hai said anxiously.

An Wenjing ran out without saying a word.

"Wife, wait for me!" Chen Hui said and followed her out.

Chen Huihong didn't even bother to wash her hands and just patted the salt off her hands.

While walking towards Lin Jiao's house, he asked, "What's going on?"
