Chapter 156: Not Taking You as a Father
However, some people in the commune were reluctant to see that the team leader, Zhao Mancao, had given a whole bear to the Chen family.
The Plum Deer that saved the Chen’s child, Guibao, on the other hand, only had around fifty pounds of meat. But a big bear would weigh at least two to three hundred pounds – they were hesitant to hand all that meat to the Chen family.
Ma Xiulian had predicted this reaction, so she shouted, "Tomorrow is Guibao’s birthday, and we’ll be having a bear meat feast at the Chen family’s. Everyone is invited to join in the celebration!"
Upon hearing this, the members of the entire production team immediately began to smile with joy, contacting one another and saying, "Great, we’ll be there tomorrow for sure!"
They also began to praise her generosity since they would not only get to eat bear meat but also save a meal’s worth of ingredients at home. It was truly a fantastic deal!
Zhao Mancao was even more straightforward, "The other bear will also be butchered today. Half of it will be sent to Factory Manager Gu’s place, and the other half will be prepared for tomorrow’s feast."
To this, almost everyone in the team agreed.
In a cheerful atmosphere, Ma Xiulian used her work points to exchange for sixty pounds of fish, and a bucket of goldfish that her granddaughter had specifically asked for.
After distributing the fish, the whole commune began to bustle with activity again, boiling water and preparing to butcher the bear.
At this point, Li Chunhua of the Chen family was applying medicine to her husband’s wounds.
As she was applying the medication, she complained with tear-filled eyes, "Father hit you too hard, look at what he’s done to you!"
"Shh, be gentle."
