Chapter 17 I want to stand on my own

Zheng Yaqin remembers that in this era, anyone who hunts large prey such as wild boars, roe deer, and deer must submit it to the production team, and the production team will then share the prey with everyone. (However, if you catch small prey such as pheasants and rabbits, you can keep it and eat it yourself)

At present, the captain's family obviously did not intend to hand over the manpower, and planned to keep it at home to enjoy it secretly, otherwise they would not have cleaned it up at home quietly. They had already notified everyone to go to the production team to share the meat.

This is indeed the case.

Everyone has selfish intentions, and the captain is not the only one. If such a big wild boar is distributed to everyone, they can at most three or five pounds of their own. For more than ten people in the family, those pounds of meat are saved and they will be gone in two meals. How can they stay? How can they enjoy it slowly?

These days, pork is a rare thing. Even if their family has good conditions, they don’t want to eat pork. There are only two ways to eat pork. One is that the production team kills pigs, which can be divided into pounds by household; the other is to buy at the non-staple food store in the town.

Buying meat now is not like in later generations. You can buy it with money. Now, buying meat now requires not only money, but also meat tickets. Both are indispensable.

They are ordinary old members, where can I go to exchange for meat tickets?

So, even if you have money, you can’t buy it, so it shows how rare pork is.

With such precious pork at home, no wonder people like the captain who have improved their thinking are greedy!

At this moment, the captain and his family were very upset.

This is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and every household stays at home for the New Year, and no one will come out to go out.

Because of the rules in the north, if you visit someone else's house in the first lunar month, you must bring gifts.

If this year is not good, the people in the village cannot even have enough food for their own stomachs, so how can they have the money to go to other people's houses to break into the family?

Since I don’t have the money to go to the door, I will definitely be embarrassed to go to someone else’s house.

The captain's family dared to deal with the wild boar because they grasped everyone's mentality.

But unexpectedly, Zheng Yaqin bumped into it.

At this moment, the captain's face was very bad, and the captain's sons and daughters-in-law, including grandsons and granddaughters, also had poor faces.

Only the captain's wife still had a smile on her face and led Zheng Yaqin to the east room.

"Haha, my god, why are you so idle now?"

The captain's wife greeted Zheng Yaqin, and the smile patterns on her face seemed to be carved, not to mention how fake it was!

Zheng Yaqin pretended not to look at him, and still smiled sincerely, "It's the New Year, come and see you, my second uncle (captain) and second aunt."

"Haha, it's hard for you to be determined." The captain's wife still laughed.

"You came today by chance. Xing Guang happened to catch a wild boar and took my house to clean it up. You can eat pork later. You can stay here and try it."

This is to explain to Zheng Yaqin the origin of this wild boar. This wild boar is not their family, but someone else's, and it is just a cleaning and handling at their family.

Zheng Yaqin is not really fourteen years old. How could she not understand the captain’s wife’s little tricks?

So, Zheng Yaqin said sensiblely, "Super Second Auntie, I'm fine if I can clean up wild boars at your house and it's great to have a meal for your house. It's not like that, an outsider, it's not easy for me to eat, it's not easy for me to take advantage of a wild boar, so I won't take advantage of them."

The captain's wife saw that she was so awesome, and the smile on her face became a little real.

"Haha, that's the case, then the second aunt won't force you to keep you. By the way, you saved Xing Guang. But it's not that the second aunt said to you, you said that your girl's family would carry a big man back. It wouldn't be nice if this matter was spread. If the old Jia family knew about it, it would definitely be a matter again, so don't tell anyone about this matter, just take it as nothing."

Zheng Yaqin was stunned.

What does the captain’s wife mean? Why didn’t she admit the person she saved?

Could it be that their family still wants to take the identity of their savior?

But when she thought about it, she understood.

If she had been with Xing Guang's life-saving benefactor, wouldn't the wild boar outside be divided into her? They would definitely not be willing to give her the meat, and they were afraid that she would take it back and reveal the secret of the wild boar they had hidden.

That's why she deliberately asked her to conceal her rescue of Xing Guang.

Zheng Yaqin is not short of meat. If she wants to eat wild boar meat, she can also get it through space. However, the captain's wife's approach of not knowing the number of people makes Zheng Yaqin very unhappy.

If they don't want to give her meat, or are afraid that she will take it back and expose them, they will make it clear to her that she is not a gossip. As long as they say it, they don't even need them to speak, she will never miss a word.

Unfortunately, they didn't do this. If they wanted to achieve their selfishness, they had to use the banner of doing good for her. Who would be fooled?

Zheng Yaqin was very dissatisfied.

However, the most important thing at the moment is not to prove that he is the boy's life-saving benefactor, nor is he a slap in a wild boar, nor is he arguing with the captain's wife.

The most important thing is that she wants to leave Lao Zheng’s family and set up her own business.

"Second aunt, just do what you say to save someone!" Zheng Yaqin replied very well, and also showed a meaningful smile.

The captain's wife is a smart person. When she saw Zheng Yaqin's expression, she knew that this girl did not agree with her words.

She touched her face uneasy and said dryly, "I heard that you have been sick for a while, and now you look bad. When the spring is coming, I will ask your second uncle to arrange a gentle job for you."

This is to give her the benefits to buy her, it is considered a hush money.

What Zheng Yaqin wants is not this, and she doesn't want to accept her favor.

He said, "It's not as serious as the second aunt said? I can eat, drink, walk and jump now. When it's spring, I can raise it well, so I don't have to bother my second uncle to give me special care."

After pausing, she said again, "If my second uncle can take care of me in other aspects, I will definitely be grateful."

When the captain's wife heard this, she knew that there must be something wrong with this dead girl coming to their house. She immediately sat up straight and held it up, "What's the matter? Let me listen first."

Zheng Yaqin made a gesture and wiped the corners of her eyes and said sadly, "Second Auntie, why did my parents treat me as a daughter over the years? I believe you know that if we don't say anything else, just say that they want to sell me to the old Jia family. You can take a look at the village, or even the Man Commune inquiries, who can do the job of getting married when the daughter is only fourteen?"
