Chapter 492: Evil Mother-in-law 38
After the meal, both the host and the guests were happy, except Ma Xiangling who was unhappy. However, her bad mood did not affect her appetite, and she ate half of the plate of braised pork.
Over the past six months, because of Yuanchun, the Ma family has had meat to eat every other day. Ma Xiangling's taste has become spoiled and she always wants to eat meat.
But since marrying into the Han family, Ma Xiangling realized that people in the city didn't eat meat every day. They only got two taels of meat coupons every month, and the two elders in the Han family only got four taels of meat coupons.
The meat tickets of other members of the Han family would be kept for going to the cafeteria to satisfy their own hunger; they would never buy meat to take home to eat.
Therefore, her parents-in-law only had 4 taels of meat tickets, which were enough for two meals.
There were more than a dozen people eating two taels of meat, but Ma Xiangling could only taste the meat and couldn't even eat the skin.
She has been very greedy these days.
Seeing her wolfing down the food, Qian Hongmei felt sorry for her sister-in-law. She picked up her chopsticks, picked up several pieces of roe deer meat, and put them in her bowl. "Sister-in-law, this is roe deer meat. Try it. It tastes better than rabbit meat."
It's really delicious.
The food was so delicious that Ma Xiangling forgot Yuanchun’s dislike for her.
She started by saying, "Mom, do we still have some roe deer meat at home? Can you ask my sister-in-law to braise some for me to take home?"
Why is it better to stew?
Of course, Ma Xiangling didn't want the Han family to get the food for free.
She took it back and ate it by herself.
Yuanchun raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Roe deer meat tastes better than pork, and it's not easy to buy. If you want to eat it, you can. Bring me money to buy it. Since you're my daughter, I'll charge you two yuan per pound. No tickets are required. How many pounds do you want?"
Ma Xiangling's face flushed red, "Mom, I'm your daughter, how can you ask for money?"
"Why should you be embarrassed, my dear brother? Let's be frank. You can't be married and still need an old woman like me to support you just to satisfy your greed." Yuanchun said, and looked at Han Conghui meaningfully.
Han Conghui put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, Xiang Ling is wrong. How can we ask your family for subsidies? This roe deer meat is really delicious. If mother-in-law can buy it for me, I will definitely not let her suffer a loss."
"Well, my son-in-law is very sensible. I will get you whatever weight you want." Yuanchun said with a smile.
If money comes to your door automatically, Yuanchun will not refuse it.
Han Conghui's heart moved slightly, "Mother-in-law, I want 20 kilograms of roe deer meat."
Ten kilograms was given as a gift. He had been in this position for three years and wanted to move. There happened to be a position above him that had been vacant after the New Year.
Yuanchun was not polite and held out her hand, "Pay first, and you can see the meat when you go back in the afternoon."
Of course Han Conghui gave the money obediently.
After dinner, Yuanchun went out for a while. Two hours later, she came back with a basket on her back. In the basket was a freshly dead roe deer.
Roe deer are not big, weighing only about 30 to 40 kilograms each. After removing the fur and internal organs, there are only 20 to 30 kilograms of meat left.
Han Conghui was so jealous when he saw the whole roe deer meat, "Mother-in-law, I want this whole roe deer."
As he said this, he took out another twenty yuan.
Fortunately, he had the habit of always having money in his pocket, so he did not give all of his salary and year-end bonus before the New Year to Ma Xiangling, but kept them all for himself.
Ma Xiangling did ask him about his salary, but he only gave her five yuan pocket money. After that, no matter how Ma Xiangling asked him for money, he never gave her any more.
