Siheyuan: After I moved in, the compound became a mess

Chapter 24 The Trouble with Braised Pork

There was a stove burning in the room and the temperature was rising. Wang Dabao opened the window, and the smell of meat immediately wafted out from the kitchen.

Nowadays, not to mention eating meat, even smelling the aroma of meat is a luxury.

The deaf old lady next door was half lying on the kang, leaning against the quilt and sleeping. Suddenly, she sniffed twice.

"Where does the meat smell come from? It's braised pork."

The deaf old lady was about to get up and look for her crutches while mumbling. At this hour, Zhuzi and Zhonghai were still in the factory. Maybe his aunt was cooking? !

He got off the kang quickly, walked to the door with his crutches, and was about to walk towards the central courtyard when he inadvertently smelled a fragrance that seemed to come from Wang Dabao's house next door.

The deaf old lady followed the smell towards Wang Dabao's house. When she got to the outside of the kitchen in the east room, the smell became stronger.

However, she was hunched over and could not see what was going on in the room, but she could hear someone talking.

"Boom!"

"Wang Dabao, come out."

The deaf old lady came to the door, knocked twice and shouted loudly.

When Wang Dabao heard the deaf old lady's voice, his brows immediately frowned. If she wasn't so old, he would have kicked her.

When I opened the door, I saw the deaf old lady at the door with a look of accusation on her face and saliva spitting out of her mouth.

Wang Dabao immediately understood that this was a beggar!

"Get lost now."

After saying that, Wang Dabao slammed the door shut.

The deaf old lady was frightened by Wang Dabao's momentum and the sound of the door closing. She stood there and became more and more angry. She was the ancestor of the compound, and everyone had to address her politely when they saw her.

Whenever someone has something delicious, they would send some to her.

Even if I don't send her off, if she finds out and comes to my house, I'll have to politely invite her to sit at the table and eat with me.

When have I ever met someone like Wang Dabao? He came to my door and still dared to tell me to get lost. This is really outrageous!

However, she was still a little afraid of Wang Dabao. When she thought about how this little beast not only extorted twenty yuan from her a few days ago, but also asked her to kneel down to Wang Zhen, she became furious.

Although Yi Zhonghai paid ten out of the twenty yuan, he also paid ten yuan himself, so how much meat could he buy?

Thinking of this, the deaf old lady picked up her cane and hit the door a few times.

"Boom!"

Wang Dabao heard knocking on the door before he walked far, and he had no choice but to open it again.

"You old man, are you looking for a fight?"

Wang Dabao's face was grim.

The deaf old lady was frightened by Wang Dabao's appearance and took a step back, her lips trembling, "You... do you know who you are talking to?"

"In this compound, everyone who sees me has to call me ancestor. Not only did you, Wang Dabao, extort money from me, but you also wanted to beat me up?"

"I'm telling you, you have to serve me a bowl of meat today. Why don't you go and ask around and ask if anyone in this compound has any delicious food and leave a portion for me? I don't blame you for not knowing the rules since you just moved in."

"As long as you give me a big bowl of meat, I can temporarily let go of the matter of you extorting money from me last time."

As she spoke, the deaf old lady shrugged her nose and looked towards the kitchen.

"Why don't you just settle it with me!"

Wang Dabao sneered, "Last time, Jia Zhang broke my old door and I paid ten dollars for it. This time it's a new door. If you break it, it won't be just a matter of ten dollars. You'd better save your coffin money."

"boom!"

The door slammed shut.

The deaf old lady was so frightened that her heart trembled and her face couldn't help but shiver.

The hand holding the cane was raised, but it did not knock on the door.

Thinking of the scene a few days ago when Wang Dabao beat up Jia Zhangshi, Yi Zhonghai and others, the deaf old lady thought that she should go home first and wait for Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu and others to come back from get off work before making plans.

That day she leaned against the window and saw clearly that Wang Dabao was like a killing god. He beat Jia Zhangshi, Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and even his good grandson Shazhu.

Originally, she wanted to go out and curse loudly, but when she thought of the situation at Wang Zhen's funeral, she immediately gave up. She was really afraid that the furious Wang Dabao would not be able to control himself and beat her.

Wang Dabao closed the door and returned to the kitchen.

At this time, Yu Li had already prepared the meal and was sitting in a chair to rest.

"Uncle Dabao, the meal is ready. If there's nothing else, I'll go back."

I don’t know if it was because she was tired from cooking or because she didn’t achieve her goal, but Yu Li’s face looked a little tired.

Wang Dabao nodded, understanding the implication of Yu Li's words.

Yan Bugui asked Yu Li to come over to help cook just to have some braised pork. Wang Dabao didn't mind it, after all, Yu Li had put in the work.

Yu Li’s cooking skills are quite good, and the aroma of the braised pork is everywhere, otherwise the deaf old lady wouldn’t have come begging for food.

At that moment, Wang Dabao smiled and said, "It's so hot today, thank you for your hard work in guarding the stove and cooking. Besides, I can't finish all the dishes by myself. Yu Li, you can take some back."

As he spoke, Wang Dabao found a bowl and put some of the braised pork in it.

Yu Li was moved and sad when she saw Wang Dabao's generous behavior.

She and Yan Jiecheng had no proper jobs and sometimes had to rely on Yan Bugui for support. She felt uncomfortable having to look at her father-in-law's face all day at home.

What kind of person is Yan Bugui? He is the kind of person who calculates every pickle and every grain of rice he eats. Since Yu Li married into the Yan family, she has only eaten pork three times, including the time she got married.

Looking at the tempting braised pork in the bowl, Yu Li had forgotten all the little actions she had just taken.

But Wang Dabao didn't feel sorry for these things. Yu Li helped him cook, and he didn't want to owe her a favor.

Since Yan Bugui has a good plan, I must let him take some advantage of me, otherwise it will be difficult to ask Yu Li for help next time.

Middle courtyard, Jia's house.

Qin Huairu was serving her two children meals while Jia Zhang was sewing shoe soles beside her.

Bang Geng, who had only one front tooth left, was sitting at the dining table, gnawing on a steamed bun with a frown on his face.

Suddenly, he smelled the aroma of meat. He immediately dropped the hard steamed bread and ran outside to sniff it hard.

He immediately ran to Jia Zhang's side, hugged Jia Zhang's arm and shook it vigorously, "Grandma, smell it quickly, it's the smell of meat and vegetables."

Jia Zhang frowned her triangular eyes, and there really was a smell of meat coming towards her.

"Grandma, I want to eat meat. Go and see who has made meat dishes. I want to eat meat."

Bang Geng kept yelling and holding on to Jia Zhang's arm tightly, as if he couldn't live without eating the meat.

Xiao Dang, who was standing by, looked at the steamed bread in his hand and looked at Qin Huairu pitifully, "Mom, I want to eat meat too. If there is no meat, some meat soup will be fine!"
