Chapter 102: Smoked Meat

Parting ways with Officer Li halfway, Cao Cao Weiguo entered the farm silently.

At this time, the farm was lush and vibrant, and the air was filled with a refreshing fragrance.

In the vegetable garden, various vegetables formed a colorful painting.

In the fifty mu of new land, peanuts and corn had also been sown.

In the mountain forest, the ten apple trees were weighed down by red, ripe apples.

Cao Cao Weiguo took out the fresh monkey head mushrooms and scattered the spores into the lush mountain forest.

He didn't understand cultivation techniques and could only pin his hopes on the farm's "vitality."

After disposing of the monkey head mushrooms, he picked some tomatoes, bok choy, green peppers... from the vegetable garden.

He also took a piece of homemade smoked meat from the drying rack.

Leaving the farm with the items, Cao Cao Weiguo rode his bicycle and hummed a cheerful little tune.

"Cao Weiguo, you're back!"

"Third Master, here are two tomatoes for you."

Returning to the courtyard, he ran into the "stalking" Third Master.

With two red and large tomatoes in hand, the Third Master was full of joy.

"Thank you, Cao Weiguo."

The Third Master asked curiously: "These tomatoes don't seem to be in season for harvesting yet, where did you get them?"

Cao Cao Weiguo said casually: "These were grown in a vegetable greenhouse."

The Third Master smiled: "No wonder, look at this size, you can't grow such good ones in a regular vegetable garden."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Cao Cao Weiguo pushed his bike toward his house.

The Third Master held the tomatoes, but his eyes were fixed on that piece of smoked meat.

Tomatoes were good, but he wanted to eat a piece of smoked meat even more.

"Yo, Banggen, you're back!"

Passing through the middle courtyard, Cao Cao Weiguo saw Banggen, whose right leg was in a cast.

"Hmph!"

Banggen glared at Cao Cao Weiguo with hatred, then stared straight at the smoked meat and tomatoes.

Banggen said: "It was you who caused me to be caught and sent to the juvenile detention center, otherwise my leg wouldn't have been broken."

"Now, if you give me the smoked meat and tomatoes, I'll forgive you and won't cause you trouble in the future."

Cao Cao Weiguo sneered: "Do you want me to give you a big slap instead?"

"Cao Cao Weiguo! You just wait!"

Banggen retreated in fear, gnashing his teeth in anger, and left a harsh threat before running home.

"Cao Cao Weiguo, look at what you've done to my Banggen!"

Jia Jia Zhangshi shouted with a face full of anger: "If you had any conscience, you'd give the smoked meat to Banggen to nourish his body!"

Qin Qin Huairu was squatting by the water pool washing clothes, her head lowered, not reacting.

Cao Cao Weiguo said with a cold face: "You want me to give you meat? How do you have the nerve to say that?"

Jia Jia Zhangshi said angrily: "Why wouldn't I have the nerve? It was you who caused my Banggen to be caught and beaten!"

Cao Cao Weiguo sneered: "Did I tell him to steal my chicken? If he didn't steal things, who would catch him?"

Jia Jia Zhangshi shouted angrily: "We're neighbors in the same courtyard, what's wrong with a child being greedy."

"For so many years, who else but you would go report to the police over such a trivial matter."

"You are a cold-blooded and heartless beast, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do such a vicious thing."

"A heartless person like you won't have a good end!"

Cao Cao Weiguo's expression turned ugly; he looked coldly at Jia Jia Zhangshi, then turned to look at Qin Qin Huairu.

"Qin Qin Huairu, when are you going to pay me back the ten Brother Yuan?"

Qin Qin Huairu's expression changed, and she said pitifully:

"Cao Weiguo, you've seen the situation in my family, can you give me a little more time?"

This "little more time" could mean until who knows when.

Cao Cao Weiguo said with a cold face: "You received your salary yesterday, it's impossible for you not to have money."

Qin Qin Huairu said miserably: "But Banggen's leg hasn't healed yet, and I need money to buy medicine and nourish his body."

Cao Cao Weiguo pointed at Jia Jia Zhangshi: "Your mother-in-law has money, ask her for the money for Banggen's expenses. My money must be returned to me today."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for doing as your mother-in-law said and reporting to the police over a trivial matter."

"If you don't pay your debts, be careful, you might end up in the police station too."

Qin Qin Huairu was so scared her pretty face turned pale, and Jia Jia Zhangshi's expression also turned ugly.

"Don't report to the police, I'll pay you back."

Qin Qin Huairu gave Jia Jia Zhangshi a resentful look and reluctantly went back to the room to get 10 Brother Yuan.

The salary she had just received hadn't even warmed up before it was gone.

After Cao Cao Weiguo pushed his bike away, Qin Qin Huairu looked at Jia Jia Zhangshi with annoyance.

"Mom, why did you provoke him for no reason?"

"Now it's good! 10 Brother Yuan is gone!"

Jia Jia Zhangshi's expression was gloomy: "It's because you're useless, letting that beast Cao Cao Weiguo manipulate you!"

Qin Qin Huairu said in a huff: "I'm useless, then let's all drink the northwest wind together this month!"

"Ding! Daily sign-in successful!"

"Obtained 5 jin of mung bean cakes, 3 jin of nougat!"

Just as he parked his bicycle, the heavenly sound suddenly rang out.

The frustration caused by Jia Jia Zhangshi was dissipated quite a bit.

"You're back."

Song Song Yulan put the corn buns on the table and ran out with a smile.

"Where did all these things come from?"

Looking at the meat and vegetables on the bicycle, Song Song Yulan's pretty face looked a bit ugly.

She knew her husband had gone to the village for procurement today.

But no one in their village grew tomatoes.

Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: "A friend gave them to me."

Song Song Yulan looked at Cao Cao Weiguo suspiciously: "Did a friend really give them? Didn't you buy them outside?"

Cao Cao Weiguo said: "A friend really gave them. Besides, I handed over all my salary, so I don't have money to go out and buy anything."

Thinking of the salary Cao Cao Weiguo had handed over the day before, Song Song Yulan believed Cao Cao Weiguo's lie.

"Cao Weiguo, this is the smoked meat you helped me get, right!"

While speaking, the Second Master walked over impatiently.

Cao Cao Weiguo said: "Second Master, this was given to me by a friend, I'm eating it myself."

The Second Master said: "Cao Weiguo, your family isn't short of this bite of meat, just sell it to me, you promised me a long time ago."

Once Song Song Yulan heard that this meat could be sold for money, she couldn't bear to eat it herself.

"Husband, the Second Master is in a hurry, just sell it to him."

Immediately, Cao Cao Weiguo knew he wouldn't be able to eat this bite of meat.

The Second Master said happily: "Song Song Yulan has a warm heart after all. Cao Weiguo, you wait, I'll go borrow a scale and get the money."

In a short while, the Second Master ran into the Cao house with a scale.

He weighed the piece of smoked meat three times in the living room.

The Second Master said: "Exactly five jin, I'll give you six Brother Yuan and five jin of meat coupons, is that okay?"

Song Song Yulan looked at Cao Cao Weiguo happily: "Cao Weiguo, the Second Master is asking you."

Cao Cao Weiguo said: "Since the Second Master has asked, how could it not be okay."

The Second Master happily took out the money and coupons and handed them to Cao Cao Weiguo: "Cao Weiguo, you're a stand-up guy."

Cao Cao Weiguo handed the money to his wife.

The Second Master carried the smoked meat home with a face full of joy.

"Dad! We're eating meat today!"

Liu Guangtian and Liu Liu Guangfu's eyes widened when they saw the smoked meat.
