Chapter 26 A Woman of Principle
"Uncle Wang, is this piece of bacon given to Xiaocao by you?"

Zhou Jinju was stunned when she saw the piece of bacon in her hand. There was a special mark on it, so she could recognize it as Wang Lin's bacon. Then she realized what was going on and apologized:

"Uncle Wang, I know you're a good person, but this was something our Xiaocao did wrong, so don't cover up for this damn girl!"

bacon.

It is one of the most important sources of meat for rural families. Throughout the year, they can only eat it during festivals. She had smelled the fragrance of bacon when she was very young, but she didn't eat bacon for the first time until the year she got married.

It was because her uncle's family treated her badly. She was ordered around by her uncle's family since she was a child, and she only ate the leftovers of her uncle's family.

Her uncle's family doesn't have enough of an important ingredient like bacon, so how could it be her turn?

She knew that Wang Lin's family were all good people and had helped her several times. If she was told that Wang Lin gave her some vegetables, she would believe it. But if she was told that Wang Lin gave her a piece of bacon, she would never believe it.

Not to mention that she has no relatives, even if they are relatives, it is unlikely.

This matter.

She has deep experience!
"Jinju, you misunderstood. This piece of bacon is not given by me - no, you can say it is given by me to your family!"

Wang Lin had a strange look on his face. Even his wife didn't believe the truth. If he told it, Zhou Jinju would definitely not believe it. But if he didn't tell her, she would definitely misunderstand Xiaocao. He said seriously:

"Xiao Cao, do you still remember the black cat that saved you not long ago?"

"Grandpa Wang, of course I remember him. He was Xiaocao's savior..."

Xiao Cao nodded. Before she finished speaking, she saw a black shadow leisurely crawling into the lobby. Upon closer inspection, it was a black cat. It was the Black Cat Catcher who saved her. She said in surprise:
"Mom, look, it was that black cat. It was that black cat that saved me!"

"Is there really a black cat to save my life?"

Zhou Jinju's face was full of suspicion. She glanced at the black cat head who had crawled into the lobby and was leisurely resting next to Wang Ping'an's cradle. She then glanced at Wang Lin and said in astonishment:
"Uncle Wang, what on earth is going on?"

Not long ago.

The little grass returned home covered in dust. She cleaned the dust off the little grass with great concern, while listening to the little grass telling the story of how she was saved by a black cat.

At that time, although she agreed with a few words, she didn't take it to heart. She just thought that Xiaocao was still young and liked to daydream.

Thinking back to when she was little, she had fantasized about someone standing up for her when she was bullied.

How to know.

Now it doesn't seem like a joke!

"I……"

Wang Lin was about to speak and explain again everything he had just said, but then he thought about his own situation. If he told Zhou Jinju everything, she might not believe him and would suspect that he was senile.

Wang Lin swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and changed his mouth to say: "Little Taoist priest, how about you tell me everything that happened?"

"Let me tell you?"

Yuan Liang was stunned for a moment, and when Wang Lin nodded, he continued, "This lady donor, this is actually the case..."

Soon, Yuan Liang told Zhou Jinju everything that happened. Seeing that Zhou Jinju seemed stunned, he couldn't help but ask, "Donor Zhou, did you hear everything I said?"

"I, I, I..."

Zhou Jinju looked confused and opened her mouth, wanting to say that she had heard everything clearly, but for some reason, the words just couldn't come out.

Who made Yuan Liang's words so outrageous that she found it hard to believe...

Yuan Liang frowned and said, "Donor Zhou, how about I say it again?"

"No, no!" Zhou Jinju shook her head, looked down at the bacon in her hand, swallowed her saliva, and said:

"Little Taoist priest, do you mean that it was Uncle Wang's black cat - no, it was the civet cat that saved Xiaocao from our family, and when it saw that Xiaocao's wild vegetables were trampled by those bad kids, it brought a piece of bacon from its home and sent it to our house?"

Yuanliang nodded.

"Jinju, now you understand, you have wronged Xiaocao. This piece of bacon is a gift from my civet cat. You can take it back!"

Wang Lin said seriously.

"Xiao Cao, I have wronged you. I am here to apologize to you!"

Zhou Jinju looked at Xiaocao, whose face was filled with grievance. As she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes like a river bursting its dam.

Xiao Cao burst into tears and said, "Mom, you told me since I was a child not to steal from other people's homes. I have never stolen anything!"

"It's my mother's fault, it's my mother's fault!"

Zhou Jinju felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. She hugged Xiaocao to comfort her. As Xiaocao gradually stopped crying, she handed the bacon back to him and said,

"Uncle Wang, I appreciate your civet cat's kindness, but I cannot take this bacon no matter what. It is too precious. You can take it back!"

Zhang Guihua said: "Golden Chrysanthemum..."

Zhou Jinju interrupted, "Aunt, I know you are all good people, but the bacon is too precious, please take it back!"

Zhang Guihua looked at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin had no choice but to take the bacon Zhou Jinju handed over and said, "Okay then!"

"Uncle Wang, I have something else to do at home, so I'll leave first!"

When Zhou Jinju stood up and prepared to leave with Xiaocao in her arms, Wang Lin hurriedly called out, “Jinju, wait a minute!”

"Uncle Wang, do you have anything else to do?"

Zhou Jinju said.

"Guihua, bring some vegetables from home!"

Wang Lin gave an order, and when Zhou Jinju opened her mouth, he knew she wanted to refuse, so he spoke first: "You don't want the bacon, but you must not refuse these vegetables. This is a gift from your aunt and me!"

"Thank you, Uncle Wang!"

Zhou Jinju's face was full of gratitude.

Subsequently.

Wang Lin winked at Zhang Guihua.

Not long after, Zhang Guihua came back with a bamboo basket full of fresh seasonal vegetables, which she handed to Zhou Jinju.

Zhou Jinju put down the grass, took the bamboo basket, and said gratefully: "Auntie, thank you!"

"Ding! You arranged for the captain to send a piece of bacon to Zhou Jinju, but Zhou Jinju refused. You were inspired by her personality. Congratulations on obtaining the talent: Perseverance [Beginner]!"

A mechanical and cold voice sounded in Wang Ping'an's mind, waking him up from his deep sleep. He looked at Zhou Jinju who was leaving with the bamboo basket in surprise, with a complicated expression and admiration in his eyes.

"Such a principled woman is a widowed mother. Although she has relatives, it is better not to have them. I am afraid she will suffer endlessly in the future. It is true that good people do not live long, but evil people will live for thousands of years!"

Wang Pingan sighed slightly and said to himself: "Maybe God sent me to this world to help people like her!"
