Granny Gu’s eyes widened.
Han Qiao asked Heng Yi to sit under the eaves while she fetched water for him to wash.
Ah-Yao had already moved closer, wanting to take a closer look at the boars.
Zeng Qin’er quickly pulled him back, “Be careful, it will kick you.”
Shun Zi stood at the side, not knowing what to say. He didn’t dare to step forward, but he was reluctant to step back.
Granny Gu looked at the two wild boars and guessed how many pounds they were. How much pork would there be?
Han Qiao asked Heng Yi to drink some hot water, and Heng Yi smiled at her. His eyes were filled with tenderness, making Han Qiao want to laugh.
“What do you plan to do with these two boars?” Han Qiao asked.
Heng Yi thought for a while and said that he planned to sell them all and buy some food from the town.
“We don’t have any money now. Let’s save some money first. I’ll go to the mountains early tomorrow and hunt more pheasants and rabbits.”
“Alright,”
Han Qiao nodded.
Heng Yi finished the water in the bowl. Before he left, he patted Yao’s head.
He carried the wild boar out.
“Father?”
Ah-Yao was anxious. He turned to look at Han Qiao, “Mother, pig, pig…”
“Father is taking it to town to sell it for silver,” Han Qiao hugged Ah Yao.
Ah-Yao pouted, “Eat meat.”
“Father will buy meat when he comes back.” Han Qiao explained patiently to him.
They didn’t have any money, but they had some rice.
She turned around and discussed with Granny Gu, “Granny, can we kill one of the chickens at home? Let’s make it into stew first. Tomorrow, my Heng Yi will hunt pheasants from the mountains-”
“Alright, kill them.”
Granny Gu felt that this family was very capable.
It had only been a short time since they entered the mountain, and they had already gotten two wild boars.
Heng Yi carried the wild boars down the mountain and into the village. The villagers were scared to death.
Granny Gu went to catch a rooster and Han Qiao followed her to kill one chicken
Han Qiao sorted out the chicken feathers and planned to make two shuttlecocks for Ah Yao to play with.
Heng Yi carried the wild boar through the village and soon caused a commotion.
“Who is that?”
“Do you recognize him?”
“He seems to be from Granny Gu’s house.”
Some people guessed that he was staying at Granny Gu’s house, so a few familiar people went to the old lady’s house to take a look.
They had just arrived when they heard Ah-Yao and Shun Zi playing with the dog and giggling.
“Aiyo, this child is so full of life!”
The two women praised Ah-Yao.
Ah-Yao stood up straight and looked at the women in front of him. He then looked at Zeng Qin’er, “Sister.”
His accent changed in his excitement.
“Yao, come here.”
Ah-Yao walked to Zeng Qin’er’s side and held her sister’s hand.
She then shouted into the kitchen, “Mother! Mother!”
Han Qiao walked out and smiled when she saw the villagers, “Are you looking for Granny Gu?”
“Sister, we’re here to look for you.”
They squeezed in front of Han Qiao, “Sister, your man is very capable. Did he catch the wild boars himself?”
“Where are you two from? How long are you going to stay in our village?”
“Are you still going into the mountains tomorrow? Can you bring my man along with him?”
“Yeah, and m-my family’s…”
Han Qiao couldn’t help but laugh, “It’s not impossible to follow my Heng Yi into the mountains.”
She paused for a moment and continued despite the women’s nervous expressions, “Your husbands have to be young, strong, brave, and familiar with the mountains.”
“If they’re timid and turn around and run when they see a wild boar, there’s no point in entering the mountain.”
“Yes, yes, yes, you’re right!” The women praised Han Qiao again.
They praised her for being good-looking, blessed with children who were obedient and cute, and praised her for having a capable husband…
Some people came over and soon brought vegetables and eggs for them.
Their intention to curry favor was too obvious..
