Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Full Moon Wine 1_1
“I brought some more grains today.”
The man quickly put down the carrying basket for Meng Yunhan. He called his wife over with the scales, just like yesterday.
He gave Meng Yunhan twenty jin of meat. After calculating, the man gave Meng Yunhan ten more yuan.
Carying the meat on her back, Meng Yunhan left the town. She found a place where no one was around, took out ten chickens from her storage space, and put them in the carrying basket before heading back home.
However, what Meng Yunhan didn’t know is that those ten chickens would cause some trouble. But that’s a story for later.
Fearing Little Huzi would cry like yesterday, Meng Yunhan seemed to disregard the weight in the carrying basket and trotted back home.
Mother Yun know that Meng Yunhan went to the town to buy meat today, so she assumed she’d successfully bought some when she saw her return with a full basket.
“Little Huzi is still asleep.” Mother Yun knew that she worried about the child, but no mother worried about their child less.
Meng Yunhan breathed a sigh of relief.
“Mom, I bought twenty jins of meat and ten chickens. We need to keep the meat in the well, otherwise it will spoil.”
As Meng Yunhan talked, she took things out of the carrying basket.
Mother Yun saw the meat and realized it wouldn’t last more than a day or two.
But when she saw the chickens, she was shocked.
“Why did you buy so many chickens?”
Meng Yunhan smiled, “I saw that we only had a few chickens at home, and twenty jins of meat isn’t much, so I bought some more. They were not expensive. Mom, I will go check on Little Huzi.”
Mother Yun saw the chickens, each one was approximately three to four jins, and the larger roosters were about five jins.
How much money did that cost?
And thinking about the Full Moon Wine celebration that they insisted on throwing, the money spent on the meat was much higher than any other costs involved.
Yunhan didn’t mention the price, fearing it might be a bit expensive.
This pricey meat, wouldn’t each cost two or three yuan, at least?
Even the cheapest chicken should be about five or six yuan, right?
By these calculations this meat and the chickens would have cost more than a hundred yuan.
Seeing the twenty jin of meat, Mother Yun immediately began salting it to prevent it from going bad, which would surely break her heart.
As soon as Meng Yunhan entered the house she saw signs of her son stirring awake, so she quickly picked him up, brought out the bedpan, and let him pee.
Once Little Huzi woke up and saw it was his mother, he didn’t fuss. After relieving himself, he began eating.
When Father Yun came home, Mother Yun began discussing the matter with him.
“Old man, do you think our daughter-in-law has been spending all her money on meat?” Suddenly remembering this, Mother Yun brought up the subject with a bit of resentment.
With the daughter-in-law splurging like this, how would they raise Little Huzi in the future?
Father Yun knew that his wife was used to thriftiness over the years, and was struggling to accept their daughter-in-law’s big spending.
However, it was Mother Yun who insisted on holding the Full Moon Wine celebration, usually such feasts are held in winter, very few are held in this hot weather.
And when throwing a feast, one must prepare some meat and vegetables, right?
“Now that she has brought it back, can we return it?” Father Yun understood clearly that this time their daughter-in-law had spent quite a bit of money, but a feast couldn’t be held without meat, right?
In fear of the gossipy women, their daughter-in-law probably thought of throwing a successful feast.
Obviously, they couldn’t return it. The feast was to be held tomorrow, there was no time for returns now.
“Yunhan has good intentions, she wants to give Little Huzi a successful Full Moon Wine celebration.”
