Chapter 51: Do you believe me if I say I did it on purpose?

After calling a few fence-sitters, they arrived at the third floor of the Wuhua building. Li Jiayi called out, "Uncle Sun."

Grandpa Sun is Aunt Sun’s husband. He also has a leg disability, but it is not an injury. Instead, it is a problem he has had since childhood.

Grandpa Sun is in charge of sweeping the streets in the sub-district office, and his monthly salary is only 18 yuan, and that's because he works for a long time.

Otherwise, the salary for sweeping the streets is only fifteen dollars.

Aunt Sun doesn't have a job, and usually goes to the street office to get some work making matchboxes.

The couple has three children: the eldest daughter, Sun Qingmin, is thirteen years old this year; the second daughter, Sun Qingmei, is ten years old this year; and the son, Sun Qingjun, is seven years old this year.

It can be said that life was very hard. With Aunt Sun making matchboxes, the two of them only earned twenty-two or twenty-three, at most twenty-three or twenty-four yuan a month.

"Five people, ten pounds and five ounces."

Li Jiayi cut off a piece of pork belly, but it was not big, only about five pounds at most.

"Add one, this is not enough." Liao Kai said.

"How much is left?"

"About six pounds."

"Okay, I see."

Then Li Jiayi took out some lard, cut a piece and put it on the plate and asked, "Is it enough this time?"

"Enough, enough."

In fact, it was more than enough, a little more, but Liao Kai would not say it.

When those who were waiting to share the meat saw Li Jiayi give Grandpa Sun a large piece of pork fat, their eyes turned red.

This is pork fat! Even in Pigeon Market, a pound of pork fat costs at least 1.5 yuan, which is much more expensive than pork.

There was no point being jealous! Li Jiayi would not give it to them, so they could only be jealous.

"Auntie Xu!" Li Jiayi shouted again.

Aunt Xu is a widow. Her husband passed away a few years ago, and she lives alone with her three children.

The most important thing is that Aunt Xu, like Grandpa Sun, works as a street sweeper in the neighborhood office, and she only makes fifteen yuan a month.

After get off work, she has to take the children to make matchboxes. As for life, it is even more difficult than that of Grandpa Sun's family.

But when Ying Jiasheng and the other three, who were nothing but useless people, acted like the bosses, they couldn’t see any of this at all.

Li Jiayi cut off another piece of pork belly, this time even less, no more than two pounds.

This time, without waiting for Liao Kai to speak, he asked directly: "Uncle Liao, how much is left?"

"Add one, the difference is a bit big, more than six kilograms, almost seven kilograms." Liao Kai said.

"Hmm!" Li Jiayi took out another piece of lard, cut off a little and a half and put it on top and asked, "Is that enough?"

"Enough is enough."

"Aunt Xu, please take it."

"Plus one, thank you."

"Hey, what are you thanking me for?" Li Jiayi said indifferently.

Looking at Ying Jiasheng and the other three, they all had gloomy faces. They bought the wild boar with their own money, but they all thanked Li Jiayi.

This makes them feel uncomfortable, even unpleasant.

Li Jiayi took a look and saw that there were about five or six pounds of lard left, so he called out, "Auntie Cheng."

Aunt Cheng is Cheng Qiaoyun, also a widow, but she has a job as a worker in a woolen mill.

My parents-in-law are in poor health and have to take medicine regularly. They also have two children, a son, Shao Jianjun, who is twelve years old this year, and a daughter, Shao Ningxia, who is eight years old this year.

Li Jiayi put the lard on the scale first and asked, "Uncle Liao, how much is left?"

"We still need another four pounds and six ounces."

"Yeah!" Li Jia nodded and cut a piece of pork belly and put it on.

"enough."

In fact, it was one or two more, but Liao Kai did not say it, and Li Jiayi knew it very well.

Anyway, he can make up for it from the bad guys in the yard, so why bother saying it out loud?

"Mrs. Cheng, please take it." "Plus one, thank you."

"Mrs. Cheng, you are so polite. If we want to thank you, we should thank Mr. Ying and the others."

Aunt Cheng smiled, said nothing, and went back with the meat and pork fat.

Soon one fan of pork was divided up, and they started to divide another fan.

"Peng Zhanquan!"

"Shi Shangfei!"

"Hai Dafu!"

Soon it was time for the pork belly. Li Jiayi directly cut a piece and ate it no matter how much it was.

"Li Aimin!"

"You little brat, I think you'll be a jerk if you don't fight for three days. Why don't you try to call for another one?"

"Uh! Dad, if I say I did it on purpose, would you believe me?"

"I believe you."

"I told you you wouldn't believe it either."

"Puchi!" Ye Xin next to him burst out laughing.

This confused Li Aimin, so he turned around and asked, "What's going on?"

Li Aimin soon reacted. He didn't believe that Li Jiayi did it on purpose, so it wasn't intentional.

This made Li Aimin very helpless. He didn't expect Li Jiayi to do the opposite.

Putting the words the other way around, he was caught off guard for a moment and fell for his son's trick.

The meat was quickly divided up, leaving a little bit left, probably about half a pound.

This is not what Li Jiayi deducted. Don't forget that there is still one person who did not get any share.

That’s right, Liao Kai hasn’t got any points yet!

In fact, Li Jiayi did it on purpose. I guess this is the only thing left.

"Brother Hui, this is what I promised you before, take it back!"

"Uh, add one, this one is not necessary." Ji Hui waved his hand quickly.

"Just take it." Li Jiayi stuffed it into his hand without saying anything.

"Okay, the meat has been distributed, everyone can go back."

"That's not right! Where are the pig offal, head and bones?" Shen Yongcai came up and said.

"Shen Yongcai, don't you know that pig offal is for the butcher?"

"Uh, but what about the pig's head and bones?"

"Uncle Liao didn't get any meat, so he got the pig's head. Besides, we can't let them go back empty-handed when they come to help us! Uncle Liao gave them some of the pig's offal and these bones as well."

In this day and age, bones are just bones. They are picked very cleanly without even a bit of meat on them.

But even if there is no meat, the bones are still good things and can be used to make soup, which is very nutritious.

As for ribs and the like, if you keep them, you will have ribs, but if you don’t, you will only have bones.

"you……"

Before Shen Yongcai finished speaking, Li Jiayi interrupted him and said, "If you are not satisfied with my assignment, you can go to Director Xu."

"Okay, Old Shen, let's leave it at that!" Peng Zhanquan patted Shen Yongcai on the shoulder and said.

He didn't want Shen Yongcai to go to see Director Xu, as this would leave a bad impression on him in front of Director Xu.

Besides, didn’t you see that no one in the courtyard was talking? This shows that everyone has agreed with Li Jiayi’s allocation.

At this time, no matter what you say, it will be useless. Even if you vote by raising your hands, people will still stand on Li Jiayi's side in the end.

After everyone left, Li Jiayi said, "Uncle Liao, I'll leave it to you from now on. Don't worry about the pot. Whoever borrowed it can return it."

"Okay, go back quickly. By the way, tell your dad. I'll cook some dishes and go over to have a few drinks with him later."

　PS: Please vote! Thank you!
