The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug

Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Sister Walking in Front

Qin Xiaoyao looked at the pheasant eggs in her sling happily, then pulled over the backpack and began sorting out the wild vegetables.

After making sure that the wild vegetables could protect the eggs, she placed the eggs into the basket.

Qin Xiaoyao then glanced at the two pheasants, which weighed about five to six catties combined, and suddenly lost the mood to continue foraging for wild vegetables.

How could wild vegetables be more delicious than meat?

Moreover, these wild vegetables she had foraged were enough for their family of five to eat for several meals.

If she dug up too much wild vegetables and brought them back, they wouldn’t be able to eat all of them anyway, right?

With that thought in mind, Qin Xiaoyao completely gave up on the idea of foraging for more wild vegetables.

Carrying the basket on her back and the two pheasants in her hand, she walked towards a large stone mound not far away.

Then, she picked up more than 20 stones of medium size near the big stone mound that were suitable for her strength.

Next, she continued to walk deep into the mountains.

After that, it was unknown if Qin Xiaoyao was too unlucky or if the wild beasts were too lucky.

She wandered around in the mountains for almost two hours, but in the end, she only managed to catch one pheasant, two hares, and eight birds.

In fact, she didn’t really want to hunt the birds. After all, birds had too little meat.

However, most of the animals seen in the mountains were birds, and they didn’t make much effort to avoid people.

Pheasants and hares were good at hiding, so they were not easy to find.

Sometimes, even if she did bump into them, the other party would have already run away by the time she realized it.

Even if she acted quickly, in the situation when she had lost the initiative, she couldn’t guarantee that she would hit the target every time.

Of course, the main problem was that there wasn’t much prey in these mountains.

“Perhaps this mountain isn’t deep enough...” Qin Xiaoyao thought.

However, even though she guessed that there might be more wild beasts in the deeper parts of the forest, she did not want to go.

The farther she went, the more time she would waste on traveling.

It had been almost four hours since she left the house.

If she didn’t go back now, she would miss dinner at home.

At the thought of this, Qin Xiaoyao was prepared to return home.

The mountain path was difficult to remember and not easy to walk on.

Fortunately, she had made some markings along the way, and her memory was not bad, so it did not take much effort to leave the mountain.

On the way back, when she passed by a mountainous area, Qin Xiaoyao was surprised to find an area with Chinese yams.

The dense vines of the Chinese yams looked like weeds. If not for the fact that she had done a lot of homework to identify crops in the mountains during the apocalypse, she would have missed it.

With a joyous expression, Qin Xiaoyao, who was about to leave, quickly ran over.

Following that, she happily excavated with her small hoe.

When she dug out the roots of the Chinese yam and confirmed that there was indeed a plot of Chinese yam growing here, Qin Xiaoyao’s face was ecstatic!

She was going to be rich!

There were indeed treasures in the mountains!

With this plot of land full of Chinese yam, the money problem for her attractive husband’s treatment was solved.

At this thought, Qin Xiaoyao began swinging the hoe even more diligently.

She only stopped when the sun was about to set after she had dug out a big heap of Chinese yams.

After that, Qin Xiaoyao carried her bamboo backpack, her prey, and the big bundle of Chinese yams and walked towards the front mountain.

“Little sister, go ahead boldly!

Go forward and don’t turn back!”

As she walked, Qin Xiaoyao even started singing.

The few years after the apocalypse had suffocated her.

Dammit, talking had to be done in a low voice for fear that the zombies would hear it, not to mention singing.

The ancient times were still the best. She could sing whenever she wanted to and speak as loudly as she wanted!

Qin Xiaoyao sang even more happily at this thought.

“There’s a girl in the village called Xiao Fang.

She’s pretty and kind, with a pair of beautiful big eyes

and long and thick braids...”

Unlike her boorish appearance, Qin Xiaoyao’s voice was clear and melodious. When it rang out in the mountains, it actually had a unique flavor to it.

At this moment, at the foot of the front mountain, some villagers were still busy working in the field.

Upon hearing this voice, several men stopped what they were doing and wanted to see which beautiful woman was singing.

This voice was like the chirping of Oriole birds. The girl who was singing must be a beauty!

All the women who followed the men to the field turned sullen.

It was that, or they used their eyes to warn their own man. Some womenfolk simply started scolding their men.

“Which one of you is so shameless? Singing this kind of thing!” In the village, Liu Daniu’s wife, Big Girl Li, cursed out loud.

...

The raspy voice was rough and loud, and it was so loud that Liu Daniu, who was beside her, almost covered his ears.

When the other men around them heard this, they burst out laughing.

This Big Girl Li had a fiery temper, and she was famous in their Brook Falls Village.

After Big Girl Li scolded out loud, that voice really stopped singing.

At this point, the women heard that the singing had stopped. Seeing that Big Girl Li had already helped them vent their anger, they were no longer so angry.

They simply gave their men another stern glare.

Not far away, Qin Xiaoyao, who had come from behind the mountain, had indeed stopped singing.

This was because she had been shocked by that broken voice.

She quickly realized that the voice was scolding her, and Qin Xiaoyao’s face turned dark again.

“Singing a nice tune! With that hoarse voice of yours, you can’t even sing it even if you want to!” Qin Xiaoyao replied and walked forward.

The crystal clear voice instantly attracted the attention of the people in the field.

...

The moment they saw who it was, everyone was shocked.

That was no doubt. Even though she was so far away and her facial features could not be seen clearly, it did not affect everyone’s ability to recognize who that person was.

After all, only one person in Brook Falls Village had a body as hefty as a small mountain.

When Big Girl Li, who was about to start scolding, saw Qin Xiaoyao, she swallowed the words she was about to spew out.

“Qin… Qin Sanya…” she stammered. There was even some fear in her voice.

There was no doubt about it. In Brook Falls Village, though other people were not familiar with Qin Sanya, she knew her well.

Just like Qin Sanya, she used to have a crush on that Eldest Son Song.

Due to this, Qin Sanya had even caused her trouble.

As she had lost to Qin Sanya, she accepted her fate and listened to her family’s arrangement to marry Liu Daniu.

Now that she thought about it, it turned out to be a fortunate thing.

Ever since she had given up on Eldest Son Song, his father had fallen seriously ill and had even used up all the money in the family for treatment.

After that, Eldest Son Song could not attend the academy and was forced to marry Qin Sanya to pay off his debts.

Sigh… People like Eldest Son Song were good-looking, but if they couldn’t go to the academy, they would have no future. No matter how good-looking they were, good looks alone couldn’t fill their stomachs.

Unlike her Daniu, who might be a little ugly, Daniu was down-to-earth and willing to work hard.

With him, at least she wouldn’t go hungry.

Liu Daniu, who was at her side, didn’t know what Big Girl Li was thinking.

Otherwise, he would definitely glare at his wife in disgust.

Did she find him ugly? Why didn’t she take a look at her own appearance…

At this moment, other than being shocked, Liu Daniu also felt like puking.

He did not expect that the voice that made him fantasize blissfully about a beautiful woman would turn out to be Qin Sanya.

Yes, he also knew Qin Sanya.

Rather, in their Brook Falls Village, there were only a few who did not know Qin Sanya.

This woman, who was as strong as a young bull and was infatuated with Eldest Son Song, had come to Brook Falls Village many times.
