"You shouldn't have." Hearing Lin Qing He said this, Second Brother was tempted.
At this time, there was indeed no meat. If he wanted it, he'll have check early in the morning.
"It's nothing." Lin Qing He can see his desire to get meat, so she got up and entered the kitchen. The meat that Zhou Qing Bai brought back was good-quality, the traditional pork belly.
There were approximately two-three jins. Lin Qing He cut a jin out. She had been to the black market in the city long enough to tell the approximate portion.
After sharing a jin of pork belly Second Brother, the money was naturally collected according to the price on the black market. Still, Second Brother returned in a merry mood.
If he had exchange money for a meat coupon and then go over to buy meat, the price can be a little more expensive than buying meat on the black market, so it was better price-wise to directly exchange meat at the black market price.
And not just anyone dared to go to the black market.
Seeing that he brought the meat back, Second Sister-in-law was stunned.
"Da Wa's Mother cut it out." Second Brother gave her the remaining money.
"Why did it cost so much?" Second Sister-in-law saw how little money was and gritted out.
Baffled, Second Brother uttered: "What so much? From the beginning, that money was enough for a jin of meat. We still have change left."
"She went according to the black market's price?" Second Sister-in-law persisted in discontent.
"It was bought by Qing Bai with much trouble. It's because Da Wa's Mother heard that Xia Xia was craving for meat, she divided some for me. If our family went to buy it instead, not only do I have to travel so far, I might not even be able to buy it. What's more, old Fourth bought the meat at the black market price, it goes without saying we have to follow that price. What, you want to get old Fourth to give it to you cheaper?" Second Brother threw a glance at her as he spoke.
His wife gave him a daggered gaze.
"Fine. Let's not argue on this anymore. Hurry, make dumplings. This is a quality pork belly. If we weren't brothers, old Fourth wouldn't have given this to me." Second Brother did not want to quarrel with her, said.
The money was already spent, Second Sister-in-law can't really keep complaining, so she made dumplings and had it.
The family of five had eaten to their hearts' content. Being able to have dumplings, even made Second Sister-in-law closed her mouth and refrained from commenting.
They did get meat allocated to them last time, but the family had not split yet. How much could each person possibly eat?
This time she put half a jin of meat into the dumplings and it was delicious. For the remaining half, they'll take their time consuming it.
Second Branch got a taste of meat, which was exchanged with Fourth Branch by Old Second.
Eldest Sister-in-law had a sarcastic expression, while Third Sister-in-law sneered coldly. She whispered to Third Brother in private: "She just had a fight last time and still embarrassed to exchange the meat. Her face is so big."
"How about our family go to exchange too?" Third Brother's focus was on elsewhere. He wanted to eat meat too.
Third Sister-in-law disapprovingly remarked: "Eat What? In a while, the meat will be divided. What's wrong with eating it then?"
"Well, you are pregnant now. You should eat some meat." Third Brother grinned.
That's right, it was almost a year after Zhou Dong Dong's birth and she became pregnant again.
