n55 Kindness

nLin Xiaoyue was touched. She asked her brother to go back to their mother while she walked to the shelf where the wild boar meat was hung.

nThen, she picked up the knife that Uncle Wang put aside and started to cut it.

n“Hey, girl, why are you still cutting the meat? Let me do it!” Uncle Wang, who was cleaning a bucket, saw her and quickly walked over.

n“Hehe, I didn’t expect it to be so difficult.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

n“Please help me cut up another piece of meat. Right here, cut along here.” Lin Xiaoyue moved aside and showed Uncle Wang where she wanted to cut.

n“There’s a lot of meat here, at least five kilograms. If you want to cut it all up, you don’t have to cut it from here, I’ll help you.” Uncle Wang took the knife and said to Lin Xiaoyue.

n“No, please just cut it like how I described,” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.

nUncle Wang looked at Lin Xiaoyue suspiciously, “okay.”

nNot long after, a piece of meat weighing more than ten catties, with more fat than lean meat, was cut off.

nUncle Wang took the meat and was about to put it in a bucket, but Lin Xiaoyue stopped him.

n“This is for you.”

nUncle Wang was surprised. He couldn’t accept it.

n“Your aunt said that she just took four meat buns from your family. If you give us so much, how much money can you get from selling the remaining meat?”

nLin Xiaoyue smiled, “I’m not a fool. I knew why you asked the village chief, his son and his nephew here! What you did for us is worth more than this piece of meat!”

nSeeing that Aunt Wang and Wang Shuanzi had also come to persuade her, Lin Xiaoyue quickly continued.

n“You and Shuanzi contributed the most. Aunt Wang also helped me take care of my mother and brother. After everyone has left, only you are still helping us.”

nLin Xiaoyue’s eyes were filled with gratitude.

n“We will remember your kindness.”

nAt this time, Liu Shi was slowly with Lin Xiaozhi.

n“Please take it. She is still young, she will repay your kindness in the future.”

n“Aiyo, what are you talking about? What are you doing here? Quickly go and sit down!” Aunt Wang quickly went over to help Liu Shi.

nShe forcefully brought her back to the stool by the door and made her sit.

n“As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. We live the closest to each other, so it’s only right for us to take care of each other,” Aunt Wang said.

n“Besides, I didn’t help you for nothing. Isn’t my second son learning embroidery from you? It would have cost one tael of silver a month to learn it in town. I don’t see you taking money from me, do you?”

nShe did have this intention when she was being nice to them initially. However, when she saw how pitiful they were, she subconsciously started to take care of them.

n“Hehe, I’m not as good as those in the workshop,” Liu Shi said. After hearing what Aunt Wang said, she felt a little more at ease.

nWhen Uncle Wang and Wang Shuanzi saw that they were getting along so well, they smiled.

n“Then I’ll take this piece of meat. It’s getting late. See what you can do with the rest of the meat. I’ll help you clean it up.”

n“Let’s cut it all up. Leave the boar’s head and internal organs. I’ll send the rest to Ruyi Restaurant tomorrow,” Lin Xiaoyue said.
