I’ll Butcher Pigs to Support You! 45p1

Chapter 45 p1

Besides Song Yugui’s bowl, where every wonton was perfectly intact, the others had more or less fallen apart. Chi Xiangyue’s and Shen Xizhi’s bowls were even more of a mess, with the wrappers and filling completely separated, not a single whole one in sight.

But Chi Xiangyue still ate with great satisfaction and happiness. After all, it was the first time she had made them herself, so it had a different meaning.

Seeing the mush in Shen Xizhi’s bowl, Song Yugui felt a little guilty and leaned over to whisper, “The ones I wrapped are so bad. They probably don’t taste good.”

Not a single one had the wrapper and filling together.

But Shen Xizhi didn’t seem to mind much. She scooped up a spoonful. “They’re not bad. They’re delicious.”

As long as she made them, they’re all delicious.

Song Xinyu buried her head in her wontons. Although she had also helped with chores at home since she was young, she hadn’t done much. She was good at wrapping wontons, but clearly not as good as Shen Xizhi. A few of the ones in her bowl were also broken.

Each wonton had a thin skin and a large filling, full of the fragrance of meat. The meat was very fresh and delicious.

Hearing her wife say that the ones she had wrapped were also delicious, although Song Yugui knew in her heart that she was just coaxing her, she couldn’t help but show a smile on her face, having been coaxed.

“Then you should eat more. I see you didn’t take much. Can I cook a few more for you later?”

She also coaxed her. Xizhi always ate too little. How could that be?

She would be hungry at night, and she wouldn’t have any strength if she ate too little.

“I’ve had enough.”

She had made the wontons according to her own appetite, so it was definitely enough.

“How about I give you two of mine? Uh, but I’ve already eaten from it…”

Turtle was guilty (Slang for embarrassed)

How could she offer to give someone something she had already eaten from?

But Shen Xizhi’s eyes lit up when she heard this. She smiled and shook her head. “How could I dislike you?”

That meant she was willing. It made sense. They were both women. Why be so particular about eating? Song Yugui gave her two or three of the wontons from her own bowl.

Shen Xizhi’s expression became even gentler. She lowered her head and slowly ate with a spoon.

Chi Xiangyue watched, and the more she watched, the more curious she became. “How did you two discover you were lesbians?”

She didn’t even know if she liked men or women.

Song Yugui looked at her speechlessly. Who goes to someone else’s house and asks this? How rude.

So she didn’t reply, just said, “Eat your food.”

“Oh.”

Seeing that the other was ignoring her, Chi Xiangyue didn’t get angry and just ate her food.

The wonton meat filling was very fragrant, and the soup was also delicious.

Song Yugui ate one small wonton at a time, still thinking in her heart, It would be great if there was seaweed and sesame oil. I’ll buy some later.

After they were all full, Chi Xiangyue looked up outside and said quickly, “My father is coming back soon. I have to go back quickly. If my father knows I’m eating at your house, he’ll definitely scold me.”

“Take care, Miss Chi.”

Since she had said so, Song Yugui didn’t stop her at all. It was quieter when she was gone.

Since Chi Xiangyue was leaving, Song Xinyu naturally couldn’t stay any longer and also said her goodbyes.

Song Yugui called her Miss Song and told her to be careful on the road.

After everyone had left and there were only the two of them left in the room, Shen Xizhi slowly went over, almost wanting to hang on Song Yugui, her voice soft and sweet. “Wife~”

Song Yugui had originally told her not to call her that, but since she herself had said she liked it, she didn’t say anything.

“Mmm, what’s wrong?”

Her wife looked a little cute at this moment, her small mouth red and pouting.

“Hug.”

She asked for it softly, which made one’s heart feel even more warm and soft.

Song Yugui didn’t think much and opened her arms to hold her. “What’s wrong? Why do you suddenly want a hug? Are you in a bad mood?”

Shen Xizhi said softly, “I just want a hug.”

She was actually in a very good mood. She had seen the change in Song Xinyu’s attitude toward her wife, but she had also seen her wife’s distance from her.

No matter how Song Xinyu changed, as long as Yugui-jiejie didn’t like her, it was useless.

She was just afraid that Yugui-jiejie would fall for her again.

“Wife, can you not talk to Miss Song in the future?”

Song Yugui was surprised. The hand that had been holding her small waist was withdrawn. She spread her hands with an innocent expression. “I didn’t talk to her. I just exchanged a few pleasantries with her. It’s not good to not say a single word to her.”

That’s right. We’re all from the same village. We can’t be too stiff with each other. And Miss Song is the village chief’s daughter…

Shen Xizhi bit her lip, her small head resting on her embrace, nuzzling her soft chest a couple of times, and said obediently, “Then… you have to be like you were today. You’re not allowed to be good to Miss Song, and you’re not allowed to be good to other girls.”

Her possessiveness was extremely strong. She didn’t care what Miss Song or Miss Li, she wouldn’t allow it.

Song Yugui clearly knew that her wife was petty and immediately agreed. “Alright, I’ll definitely have the best relationship with you. No one can surpass you.”

Shen Xizhi was overjoyed. That was how it should be.

As she sat there, she moved from her own stool to the other’s lap, her arms wrapped around her neck, her small waist twisting in her embrace, very endearing.

Song Yugui held her waist with one hand, then felt that one hand was not enough and held her with both hands, holding her closely. She had suddenly gotten angry today, which had really worried her. She didn’t even know why she was angry, but now that her anger had subsided on its own, she was too lazy to ask again, lest she remind her and make her angry again.

“There are still some wontons left. I’ll wrap the rest in a little while and cook them for breakfast tomorrow. You’re not allowed to go out for a walk. Stay here and keep me company. You don’t have to wrap them. Just keep me company.”

Shen Xizhi knew that Song Yugui liked to go for a walk after meals to aid digestion, so she said this. She just liked to cling to her, and there was nothing she could do about it. Who told Song Yugui to be so good to her?

She wanted to cling to her, so she wouldn’t let her go.

Of course Song Yugui didn’t mind. She nodded and just sat on the side to accompany her. By the time a whole basin of meat filling was wrapped, there was a little bit of flour left, which she said she would use to make noodles for her tomorrow.

Noodles were also delicious, and she also loved to eat them.

Every dish her wife made was delicious.

After that, it was time to rest. They soaked their feet, and their bodies were warm as they took off their clothes and got into bed.

But the bedsheet was a little cold, not as good as the fluffy blankets that could be laid on in winter in modern times.

It wasn’t cold at all lying down.

If there’s a chance… I’ll save up some money and buy a tiger skin or something to lay on the bed next year. It must be very expensive. I’ll just fantasize about it for now.

Just as she was thinking, the other person had just lain down and silently rolled into her embrace. She hadn’t been able to sleep this afternoon without being held!

She was so sad.

Shen Xizhi was wronged.

Song Yugui held her small waist and skillfully bundled her up in her arms.

Only then did drowsiness set in.

The young woman’s head nodded. Without even having to say anything, her head tilted, and she fell asleep.

Song Yugui had just wanted to whisper a few words to her wife. She had called out “Xizhi” a few times but had gotten no response. She looked down to see that she had fallen asleep.

With no one to talk to, she couldn’t hold on for long either. In a short while, she was sleeping in her arms.

The next day, she got up when the sky was still dark. The cold wind howled outside, and it was not much better inside the house, so cold.

They had gone to bed early last night, so it was not too difficult to get up.

Shen Xizhi lit the oil lamp and cooked the wontons. After they finished eating, they went to the pig farm, slaughtered a fat pig of over two hundred catties. The pig farm wanted six thousand five hundred wen from them. Song Yugui paid the two thousand six hundred wen she had owed from yesterday, leaving a balance of over four thousand one hundred wen. This time, she simply gave four thousand wen, leaving a debt of two thousand five hundred wen, which she would pay when she returned.

The two of them then pulled the pork out. Fortunately, the cart had several wheels, otherwise it would have been difficult to push.

By the time they reached the town with the pork, the sky was just starting to brighten.

She then opened for business.

Gradually, the old men and women who sold vegetables also came with their own vegetable stalls and set them up. Seeing them come so early, they couldn’t help but tease, “Your stall earns the most money every day. Why do you still get up so early and work so late? Aren’t you tired?”

Song Yugui just smiled. “Who would complain about having too much money?”

No matter how tired she was, she didn’t feel tired when she had money.

And if she came early and sold out early, she could also go back early.

She still wanted to take a nap.

Today seemed to be a market day. There were an unusually large number of stalls, and there were also a lot of people who came to buy things. It was so crowded that Shen Xizhi held her wife’s hand. Seeing all kinds of fresh stalls around, she said, “Why don’t I go and buy a fish? Can we have fish today?”

Fish in winter was a delicacy, but they hadn’t had it in a long time.

Song Yugui swallowed her saliva and nodded, giving Shen Xizhi all the money she had left after paying the deposit this morning, telling her to buy whatever she wanted, to pick what she liked.

That’s what she said, but Shen Xizhi was always obedient and sensible and would definitely not do as she was told. She just replied with an “okay” and went off with the money.

She bought a bream. This fish had few bones and was suitable for braising. Cooking fish required a lot of oil. Fortunately, their family sold pork, so they still had a lot of oil. She also bought a few radishes. Radishes were good for the eyes, and she would stir-fry them with meat later.

She only bought these two things and didn’t buy anything else before she went back.

Song Yugui handed the weighed meat to the customer and looked back at her wife. Seeing that she had only bought these, her expression was puzzled. “Why didn’t you buy more? What about snacks?”

Shen Xizhi shook her head and mixed the remaining money with the money she had earned from selling the meat, her voice soft. “I don’t like to eat those. Three meals a day is enough.”

“I didn’t see that you didn’t like to eat them. You were so happy eating them when I bought them for you.”

“Aiya, you already bought them. It’s not good to waste them.”

Shen Xizhi said coquettishly.

If she admitted that she liked to eat them, Yugui-jiejie would buy them for her every day, which would cost a lot of money.

“Hmph, anyway, when we get home later, I’ll have to buy you something to eat.”

“You…”

She fell silent, also knowing that when it came to spending money, her wife would not listen to whatever she said.

Because it was market day, there were an unusually large number of people coming and going in the town, and the pork sold quickly. In a short while, more than half of it was gone. The two of them guarded the stall, and every customer who came to buy meat was greeted with a bright smile. Some people would even come over and buy some meat just to see the two of them and be in a good mood.

There were also many people from Songjia Village who had come to town to buy things.

They greeted them, and those who were a little more well-off would buy a couple of liang of meat to take home.

After standing in the bustling market for a while longer, a very enthusiastic but somewhat headache-inducing voice suddenly came from her ear. “Xizhi, Yugui, so you’re selling pork here.”

Song Yugui: …

Shen Xizhi immediately gripped her wife’s wrist nervously.

The two of them looked up at the same time and saw the dashing woman standing beside the refined man, dressed in a simple skirt, her long hair tied in a high ponytail, waving at them.
