The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 490: 490 freeload meat

The little mixed-haired dog used its paws to climb up the side of the stove, lifting its small head up towards the top of the stove, yowling “oww…”

Clearly, the little fellow knew there was something delicious in the pot, its mouth watering with desire.

Su Qingyue scooped a cooked pig bone with a spatula from the pot and placed it in the puppy’s bowl in the corner. The bone was so long that it didn’t fit in the bowl and almost tipped it over.

The little bastard knew this was for it, and yowled “oww…” in gratitude, excitedly rushing to grab the bone. But it was too hot, so it quickly retracted its paw and guarded the bone while waiting for it to cool.

Seeing it looking both greedy and patiently waiting for the bone to cool down, Qingyue couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“What is that delicious smell?!” The neighbor, Qian Zhang’s wife, who was passing by the courtyard fence, smelled the aroma and entered the Xiao Family’s courtyard, heading straight for the kitchen.

Su Qingyue didn’t like this kind of behavior – barging into someone else’s house without asking.

“Argh! Argh!” The little mixed-haired dog charged at Qian Zhang’s wife, its fur standing on end and its eyes alert and fierce.

Qian Zhang’s wife was so scared that she stood at the kitchen doorway, unable to move, and cried out, “Ah! The dog is about to bite! Wife of the Xiao family, quickly control your dog!”

“Who let you into my house? You burst into someone’s house without even asking, so who else should the dog bite other than you?”

Qian Zhang’s wife wasn’t easily intimidated. Scared of being bitten by the fierce dog, she shakily said, “Just call off your dog!”

“Hmph.”

Qian Zhang’s wife got impatient and worried, “If I get bitten, you’ll have to pay compensation!”

Qingyue scoffed, “If you get bitten, I’ll give you a few copper coins as compensation. Besides, you barged into my house of your own accord and deserve to get bitten. I don’t need to pay.”

“We’re from the same village! Next time I enter your house, I’ll give you a greeting! Just call off the dog, Su Qingyue! It was my bad, my bad, now call it off!”. The freckles on the woman’s face stood out as she became more and more frightened.

Only then did Qingyue gently call out, “Little mix-up, come here.”

“Oww…” The little mixed-haired dog obeyed its owner’s command and ran back to her side, but still alertly stared at Qian Zhang’s wife.

Only then did Qian Zhang’s wife pat her chest, “That scared me to death! Your puppy is so fierce even at a young age; I can’t even imagine it growing up.”

“Then don’t come to my house.”

“You think I want to? I smelled your delicious cooked meat. It even wafts outside! Can you give me some to taste?” Qian Zhang’s wife craned her neck and was disappointed to see only bones in the stove pot, she frowned, “Why did you only cook bone without meat?”

“What did you expect?”

“I thought you cooked a pot of meat.” Qian Zhang’s wife had a disgusted expression on her freckled face, “You actually cooked pig bones that cost one cent per jin, no meat at all. Even worse, one cent per jin is too expensive.”

She looked so unhappy.

She looked at the dilapidated kitchen of the Xiao family and the broken houses and courtyards in the distance…

She thought that the Xiao family must have become rich by selling the recipe, so they’d be willing to buy meat. Forcing herself to come inside because of the meat, she didn’t realize that the poor are still poor!

The master bedroom window in the front yard was closed, so Qian Zhang’s wife didn’t know that Yuchuan and Qinghe were washing pig offal in the backyard.

“It’s not that expensive.” Su Qingyue saw the disdain in Qian Zhang’s wife’s eyes and didn’t get angry.

After all, the most despised family in the village had always been the Xiao family.

The most despised individual was herself, Su Qingyue.

So, she was used to it.

Sooner or later, she’d prove these people wrong and achieve success.
