Because the money for buying the pigs came from Village Chief He's house, the He Family felt entitled to eat the pork for free, so everyone in the He Family was very pleased.
However, in the end, Village Chief He still felt the pinch and only bought two pigs. Additionally, He Laotian, He Wanli, and He Wazi pooled money to buy another one, making a total of three fat pigs. These were slaughtered the day after Old Master Lu was cut in half, and they began to eat the pork.
He Dacang and others didn't set up their stall today; after getting the goods from Gu's Workshop, they brought them directly home to start slaughtering the pigs and preparing the feast.
The He family came early in the morning to help; they slaughtered all three pigs, made blood sausages from the pig blood, and cut the remaining pork into pieces—half of it was for eating, and the other half was for distributing to the He family.
