I’ll Butcher Pigs to Support You! 44p1

Chapter 44 p1

The door and windows of the dim room were tightly shut, the cold wind howling outside. The people inside were quiet for a long time. Finally, one of them couldn’t hold it in any longer and asked, “Are there any other dishes? Just one?”

If there were other dishes, she would just have a couple of bites of wild vegetables to freshen her palate, which would be fine. But if there were only wild vegetables… QAQ.

Unfortunately, Shen Xizhi’s heart was harder than iron at this moment, colder than frost and snow. With a light scoff, she said mercilessly, “No. Even if there were, I wouldn’t make them for you.”

…

My wife has turned bad. She’s not good to me anymore.

Song Yugui sighed in her heart but didn’t dare to say it out loud.

To be forced to eat only wild vegetables for no reason, she felt wronged too. She silently turned her back, and this time, she really didn’t coax her.

Shen Xizhi was still angry. Sensing the movement behind her, her heart skipped a beat. She knew she was probably angry, and a hint of disappointment appeared in her lowered eyes.

This nap, she wouldn’t be able to sleep.

But Song Yugui was more big-hearted. After knowing that she could only eat wild vegetables at night, she was sad for a moment, but just for a moment. After being sad, she still fell asleep.

Unlike in the past, when she always held someone to sleep, this time she curled up and slept alone.

The breathing of the person behind her gradually became steady. Shen Xizhi heard that she was asleep, pressed her tender lips together, and slowly turned around, inching closer, opening her arms, and becoming the one who held her.

My wife is a block of wood. She’s clearly a lesbian. How can she not react at all to my several attempts at seduction? Could it be that she really doesn’t like me?

This thought made the young woman’s heart leap into her throat. She felt extremely wronged.

Why doesn’t she like me? I’m her wife…

Song Yugui didn’t sleep well this time. In her dream, a pair of resentful eyes were always staring at her. She couldn’t sleep soundly, and after sleeping for a long time during her nap, she found it hard to wake up. Now she was neither refreshed nor fully awake. She rolled around on the bed a couple of times before she noticed something was wrong.

Hmm? How come I’m alone?

She reached out and felt again. The other side was cold. It was indeed just her.

Song Yugui was bewildered for a moment. She quickly got up, put on her clothes, and walked a few steps out before she saw the figure rolling wonton wrappers in the front hall.

Her expression became even more bewildered. She walked over. “Didn’t you say we were having wild vegetable soup tonight? Why are you busy again? And you didn’t even call me to help.”

Shen Xizhi glanced at her faintly, her heart full of grievance. And you still want to eat wild vegetable soup? You were so angry you ignored me. How could I dare to give you that?

She only thought this in her heart and didn’t say it out loud. The young woman lowered her head and said slowly, “We’re not having wild vegetable soup anymore. And I don’t need your help. You can go out and feed the chicken.”

“Still angry?”

Song Yugui frowned and went closer. I don’t think anything particularly worth getting angry about happened this time. Why is she unhappy again?

Shen Xizhi pressed her lips together and shook her head silently, her voice also carrying an unconscious sense of grievance. “No. How could I be angry with you?”

Uh, this anger was a little too obvious. She didn’t think she was hiding it well, did she?

Song Yugui rubbed her forehead helplessly and went closer to hold the woman’s slender waist. “If there’s anything I’ve done to make you unhappy, just say it. I’ll change whatever I can, okay?”

Shen Xizhi was now suspecting that she had been tricked into marriage. She was said to be a lesbian, but she had no reaction to her at all.

Hearing this, she could only sulk. “No. You’re very good. You haven’t made me unhappy.”

Yo, she’s even learned to be duplicitous.

She really didn’t know what was wrong, so she didn’t know where to start even if she wanted to coax her.

Song Yugui walked around her, her brow always furrowed, her expression very hesitant. Finally, she stopped and asked cautiously, “Do you usually have thoughts of hurting yourself?”

Shen Xizhi was stunned. She didn’t understand why she was asking this, but she still shook her head first. “Of course not.”

That would hurt so much.

Hearing this, Song Yugui seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and nodded. “It’s good that you don’t.”

She was just afraid that her villain had depression. It was one thing for her to be depressed from time to time, but if she started self-harming, it would be a big problem.

Seeing that she didn’t say why she was asking, Shen Xizhi just pressed her lips together and glanced at her, then continued to roll the wonton wrappers.

Wonton wrappers were different from dumpling wrappers. Each one had to be rolled as thin as a cicada’s wing.

Song Yugui watched from the side and offered to chop the filling.

Shen Xizhi didn’t stop her. There was washed meat and shepherd’s purse on the stove.

When Chi Xiangyue and Song Xinyu returned from cutting pig feed, they saw the two of them in the house with the door and windows open, chopping meat. They were immediately overjoyed and called out in a loud voice, “Yugui, Xizhi, can I come in?”

Song Yugui looked up and saw that she had brought back two baskets of grass. She felt a little guilty and nodded amiably. “Of course you can. You can just come in yourself.”

The fence was not very high, and one could get in by lifting their leg high. But Chi Xiangyue actually jumped over it.

As Song Yugui watched, she couldn’t help but exclaim, The female lead’s jumping ability, if she were in modern times, she could even play basketball.

Compared to her, Song Xinyu had a much harder time getting in. Her legs just couldn’t get over. But in the end, Chi Xiangyue just lifted her in.

“I’ll go and help you feed the pigs.”

“Alright, thank you, Miss Chi.”

It was as if her family’s work had been outsourced, and she didn’t even have to pay.

Song Yugui herself felt quite shameless thinking about it, but the other was doing it with great enthusiasm.

After Chi Xiangyue had finished feeding the pigs, she squatted on the ground with her chin in her hands. Seeing it eating with loud snorts, she suddenly said, “I want to raise a pet too.”

Song Xinyu’s wandering thoughts paused. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she couldn’t believe it. “You call this a pet?”

In the countryside, pigs were mostly raised for a living, just to earn a few silver coins. Who would treat a pig as a pet!

Probably only these naive young ladies from the big cities.

“It doesn’t have to be a pig. Pigs are so big, and I can’t even hold them. A little chicken would be fine too.”

…

“Chickens poop everywhere.”

She said sincerely.

Chi Xiangyue’s face stiffened. “Even on the bed?”

“Everywhere.”

…

She easily gave up the idea of raising a chicken.

“Forget it, forget it. We’ll talk about this later. Let’s go and see what Xizhi and the others are doing.”

She only knew these few people in the countryside.

Song Xinyu’s expression was complicated for a moment. She didn’t say anything and just followed behind Chi Xiangyue.

“What are you doing? Ah, chopping meat filling. I know this. I’ve seen the cook at home chop it before. Are you making dumplings?”

Chopping meat filling?

Her gaze couldn’t help but turn over. Sure enough, she saw a full basin of meat and a pile of washed, fresh shepherd’s purse on the side. Speaking of which, her family hadn’t had meat in several days either.

Song Yugui has really changed for the better.

In the past, although she had sold meat, she had been a slacker. It was said that butchers had a solid family fortune, but they hadn’t seen any of it. Not only were their clothes drab and worn out, but they also wouldn’t buy any jewelry for girls that cost more than five wen. But even so, she was still broke, because more than half the girls in the village would receive jewelry from her.

It wasn’t just the girls from Songjia Village; the girls from other villages were also not spared. In short, as long as they had a bit of beauty, Song Yugui would pester them, give them some cheap things, and say a few outrageous words of love. That was why she had particularly disliked and looked down on Song Yugui before.

She hadn’t expected her to have changed so much now.

She no longer pestered other women, nor did she spend a lot of money to make women happy. All of it was spent on her wife and herself.

She looked over and glanced at the decent-looking cyan long skirt on Shen Xizhi.

Song Yugui didn’t pay much attention to Song Xinyu and just smiled at Chi Xiangyue. “Not dumplings, wontons.”

“Wow, I love wontons too.”

“That…”

At her words, Chi Xiangyue became coy again, and her words were hesitant.

Song Yugui was silent. With her curious and hands-on personality, she couldn’t help but deduce… “You want to chop the filling?”

She nodded vigorously. “Mmm, mmm. I’ve wanted to try it before. The cook at home was afraid I would hurt my hand and would never let me touch it.”

Since she wanted to do it herself, Song Yugui didn’t stop her and easily handed her the knife, but she reminded her, “Be careful. Don’t chop too hard, or the meat will fly out.”

Chi Xiangyue nodded seriously. “Mmm, mmm, okay!”

She then ignored her. She couldn’t even coax her own wife.

She slowly went over again and held the still-angry person, her voice filled with a desire to please. “Xizhi, are you still angry?”

Shen Xizhi looked at her strangely, then lowered her eyes and replied, “I said I’m not angry.”

“You’re lying to others, but you can’t lie to me. If you’re not angry, then give me a smile.”

Who says you have to smile if you’re not angry?

Shen Xizhi glared at her angrily.

“See, I told you you were angry. You’re even glaring at me.”

The young woman was indignant. “Go away. Isn’t Miss Chi here? You can go and talk to Miss Chi.”

She was shooing her away.

But Song Yugui wouldn’t leave. Her own wife was always duplicitous. Telling her to leave now was just a momentary burst of anger. If she really left, there would be a big fuss.

And besides, Xizhi was jealous and was most afraid of her having other good friends.

Song Yugui deliberately pretended to be thick-skinned and stayed put.

Shen Xizhi was angry, but seeing her like this, she wasn’t that angry anymore.

Her expression gradually softened, and she was unknowingly coaxed.

Song Xinyu listened to the voices over there, her heart a little complicated.

“I’ll help you roll the wonton wrappers.”

As Song Yugui spoke, she took a small piece of dough and was about to start when she was stopped by Shen Xizhi. Her voice was much gentler than before. “Don’t help me. You don’t know how to do this kind of delicate work. You can just rest on the side for a while.”

“Then won’t I have nothing to do?”

Shen Xizhi gave her a reproachful look. “It’s not like you didn’t trick Miss Chi into helping you with your work. You’re just being lazy.”

Before Song Yugui could speak for herself, Chi Xiangyue’s impatient voice came from outside. “Yugui didn’t trick me! I wanted to do it myself! Chopping meat filling is so simple. Do you have anything harder for me to do?”

At first, she had been quite interested in this, but chopping meat filling was just constantly swinging the knife. She also swung a sword when she practiced martial arts every day. She didn’t feel much difference, so she got bored.

Song Yugui said casually, “Oh, then you can start the fire later.”

“Start the fire? Really for me to start?”

Her tone was filled with a hint of excitement.

Her father also cooked sometimes. She had seen her father start a fire, but her father would never let her touch the firewood, uh, saying that a young lady from a good family should not start a fire.

Wait, has Dad not accepted the fact that she and the four words ‘young lady from a good family’ have nothing to do with each other?

“Mmm.”

Song Yugui didn’t mind here. The other wanted to do it herself, so she was happy to be free.

But Shen Xizhi was a little worried and felt that this was not good. But seeing Chi Xiangyue so excited in the front hall, even chopping the meat with more force…

Forget it, I won’t care.
