Chapter 27 Do You Know Who She Is?
No one dared to object to it.
Liu Cuihua had been waiting for them for a long time when Su Jiuyue took Wu Dacheng and Wu Ercheng to the entrance of the village. "Why waste so much time?" shouted Liu Cuihua.
Wu Dacheng was so attracted by the antelope that she didn't hear Liu Cuihua's scold.
Oh, dear! How could Wu Xiyuan and Su Jiuyue find such a big antelope in the mountains? They were in the luck!
Why was there an antelope in the mountains? Did someone drug it?
He said out what he thought.
Wu Xiyuan immediately retorted, "No! It was killed in a fight!"
Liu Cuihua believed Wu Xiyuan, but she did not let down her guard. After the kids had finished processing the antelope's skin, she fed chickens with the meat of the antelope.
The second day when she found that the chickens were still alive, Liu Cuihua was relieved and ready to cook it.
The smoke floated out of the chimney. The fragrance of the antelope drifted to the whole village as the wind blew by.
Passers-by were craning their necks to see what was cooking in the Wu family.
Su Jiuyue carried a bundle of firewood into the kitchen. As soon as she entered, Liu Cuihua put a piece of meat into her mouth and said, "Try this. How does it taste?"
For Su Jiuyue, who had been eating vegetables for months, it was happy to have a bite of meat.
Su Jiuyue licked her lips after she finished the meat and nodded. "It's delicious!"
Liu Cuihua smiled, "Great! I will divide the meat into several bowls, and then you give them to the neighbors."
Liu Cuihua didn't think it a good idea to keep the meat to themselves. They were neighbors anyway. However, she did not give them much, just two pieces of small meat.
Even so, the neighbors were grateful to them.
There was little meat to eat on the hard days.
Su Jiuyue took the melons and dates given by her neighbors and went home. When she came to the door, she saw a young woman standing at the door looking around.
Su Jiuyue had just come to Xiayang Village and she was not familiar with the people here. She asked the young woman, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
The woman looked at Su Jiuyue with mixed feelings, but she didn't answer Jiuyue's questions. When she saw Tian Xiuniang walk out from the yard, she immediately looked away and left.
Su Jiuyue felt strange. She was about to enter the yard when she heard Tian Xiuniang say, "Do you know who she is?"
Su Jiuyue was puzzled and asked curiously, "Who is she?"
Tian Xiuniang whispered something in her ear, and Su Jiuyue was shocked.
The woman had been engaged to Wu Xiyuan!
Tian Xiuniang explained, "Her name is Yang Liu. Her mother has arranged the marriage three years ago. When Xiyuan passed the exam, Yang Liu and Xiyuan would get married. However, two days after Xiyuan hit his head, the Yang family canceled the marriage. Cuihua was so angry that she gave them back the token and said that she would never have contact with the Yang family again."
Speaking of this, Tian Xiuniang smiled, "So, I gave every family the meat except the Yang family."
Su Jiuyue felt uncomfortable when she heard that, but she didn't know why.
