Chapter 21 Envy, jealousy, hate!
"Sister, sister~"

"what?"

Just when Su Yunjin's cheeks were feeling hot, he saw the little kid pulling at his clothes.

"Sister, what does lard residue taste like? Is it delicious?"

The little girl stared at Su Yunjin with her big watery eyes with anticipation. It would have been even better if the corners of her mouth were not greasy.

"Didn't you just eat?"

"I ate it too fast and couldn't taste it."

After hearing this, Chen Jie laughed. This has become a traditional item. It was the same when they drank fish soup last time.

Chen Jie said with a smile: "Okay, Yunjin, go get some sorghum rice and make some sorghum rice. Today we will eat sorghum rice mixed with lard residue, okay, my little greedy cat."

As Chen Jie spoke, he gently pinched the little kid's cheek.

The little bean nodded desperately: "Yeah."

Su Yunjin said nothing and went to get some rice. Chen Jie said to Su Yunjin, "Oh, Yunjin, get ten kilograms of sorghum rice. I'll take it to Uncle Erba later. Uncle Erba gave us five kilograms of rice last time. Now that we have food, we have to give it back."

"Well, it should be."

Su Yunjin went into the house to pack rice.

Chen Jie continued to refine the oil, and soon the rice was loaded.

He carried the bag of rice and took two pounds of pork belly.

"Yunjin, I'm going to Uncle Erba's house. Please take a look at the oil in the pot."

"Hey, I see."

As Chen Jie was talking, he went out. On the way, he passed by the big locust tree where he was taking shelter from the cold. The villagers all greeted Chen Jie. When they saw him taking rice and meat, some of them immediately asked curiously, "Jiu Si, where are you going with all this rice and meat?"

"Ah, I just bought some rice and meat for Uncle Erba."

The man laughed when he heard it and said, "Haha, Jiusi, you are still nice to the uncles."

Chen Jie understood the meaning of his words. Uncles, he has more than just Uncle Erba. Isn’t there Uncle Sanliu sitting over there?
If it was the old Chen Jie, it might be difficult, but the current Chen Jie is not easy to deal with.

Chen Jie just laughed and said, "Haha, yes, but when I was in trouble, it was Uncle Erba who lent a hand to me. This uncle is different from other uncles, isn't he?"

After that, Chen Jie said, "Okay, I'll go first. My family is waiting for me to eat."

Chen Jie walked towards his uncle Erba's house. Looking at Chen Jie's back as he left, Chen Sanliu's face turned blue with anger. Who should he slap in the face?

What does it mean that uncles are different from uncles?

This Chen Jiusi is really a mean man who succeeds in his career. It's just buying some pork, who would care?

And that Chen Erba, what kind of person is he? He is so cunning that he deserves to be a cripple. He is a born bad seed.

Chen Sanliu became angrier the more he thought about it. He stood up and walked home. Those around him who were enjoying the cool breeze said, "Old Chen, why don't you sit here for a while?"

"I don't want to sit here anymore. I'm hungry. Let's go home and eat."

"Hey, didn't you say you wouldn't fire at noon?"

"Can't I change my mind? This afternoon, I not only want to eat, but also want to eat well. I'm going to go back and eat bacon and stir-fried wild vegetables."

……

Looking at Chen Sanliu's back, the old friends smiled at each other and pointed at Chen Sanliu.

"This guy is full of calculations. When Jiu Si was down and out, he wanted to hide away. Now that Jiu Si is doing well, he wants to come back and take advantage of it. Oh no~"

As they spoke, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads, with much mockery on their faces. In fact, everyone has their own little plans in mind, but it is rare to see someone so shameless.

Chen Jie came to his uncle Erba's house, pushed open the gate and shouted, "Hu Zi, Uncle Erba, are you home?" Hu Zi and Uncle Erba were weaving baskets. When they heard the voices, they came out. Chen Jie raised the rice and meat in his hand and said.

"Uncle Erba, I'm here to return the rice."

Uncle Erba and Huzi were stunned, and Aunt Erba, who heard the noise in the room, also came out. Seeing Chen Jie giving her rice and meat, she was also stunned.

Chen Jie told him his purpose again. Second Uncle Ba leaned on his cane and said, "Jiu Si, your family is in financial difficulty, so you can eat first. You don't have to pay it back so early."

Chen Jie said, "No need, I found a way to make a living. I bought a lot of things today, so I still have to pay back the rice. Come on, auntie."

Chen Jie stuffed the rice into Aunt Erba's hand.

"Oh, Jiusi, you can only weigh ten kilograms. That's too much, too much."

Aunt Erba knew how much rice and flour there was as soon as she picked up the bag, and she started to talk. Chen Jie said, "Not much, not much. You can keep it. You have taken good care of us these days. And the meat, keep it. Hu Zi is growing up, give it to Hu Zi to supplement his body."

"Hey, Nine-Four..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm leaving now. Don't see me off, Huzi. Go back, go back. We are family, so we don't need to talk about this anymore. I'm leaving now..."

Chen Jie walked away.

My aunt looked at the rice and meat in her hands with a face full of shame.

"Boss, this?"

Chen Erba hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said, "This is Jiusi's gift. Please accept it."

"This, this is so bad, I used to, oh..."

Aunt Erba couldn't help but regret when she thought about how she disliked Chen Jiusi.

She is a typical rural woman. She would be calculative if others took advantage of her. However, she would feel uneasy if others took advantage of her, as she always felt that she owed them something.

After thinking for a while, she went into the house and quickly picked up a bowl of rhubarb apricots.

"Huzi, take these apricots to Jiusi and tell him to cover them before eating. They are a little sour."

Hu Zi heard this and said, "Hey."

After saying that, he followed Chen Jie.

Soon he caught up with Chen Jie and explained his purpose. Chen Jie did not refuse. He touched the hard apricot and said, "Okay, thank Aunt Erba for me. Now go back."

After waving goodbye, Hu Zi soon passed by Chen Sanliu's house.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Aunt Sanliu standing at the door. In the past, this woman would avoid Chen Jie as if he were the plague god, but today she was particularly enthusiastic when seeing Chen Jie.

"Hey, Jiusi, you are busy. Come to my house when you have time. Your uncle Sanliu was still talking about missing you yesterday."

Chen Jie nodded casually and dealt with it, thinking to himself, I think you must be jealous because you saw me delivering meat to Uncle Erba's house.

Chen Jie was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Seeing Chen Jiusi walking away, Aunt Sanliu went home and saw Chen Sanliu sulking, saying, "I just saw Chen Jiusi. He seemed to have come out of Erba's house."

Chen Sanliu sneered: "They are just uncles and nephews with deep affection."

"Hey, that's not right. You are also his uncle. Why did he send meat to Erba's family but not to ours? Is there any nephew like him?"

Aunt Sanliu said angrily.

"Humph, when Chen Yongwang was here, he was biased. He helped Chen Erba learn the craft but didn't teach me medicine. If he was willing to teach me, I would be a doctor now, living a good life, and why would I have to farm every day now?"

Chen Sanliu was so angry that he even called out his uncle's name, but he didn't think about the fact that most of his family's property was given by Chen Yongwang. Chen Erba's family only learned the skill of weaving baskets. No one could fail to see who he was partial to.

As a result, he is now feeling wronged. This person is greedy and wants to swallow an elephant.
