A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 104 Pheasant Stew with Bamboo Fungus

Such speed, such powerful hunting ability.

Yun Jiao admired the cat.

Of course, she herself is also a powerful merman, although she is only a cub at the moment.

Wow! Boss, you're amazing!

Yun Xiaojiu's heartfelt praise.

Cat Boss stood even taller and led Little Fish to Yun Jiao.

Continue feeding the cubs.

Yun Jiao understood its meaning from its eyes.

Yun Jiao shook her head and refused the offer: "This doesn't taste good, I won't eat it."

Freshwater fish have a stronger fishy smell than saltwater fish. Many saltwater fish can be eaten directly as sashimi, but river fish are rarely used for sashimi.

What's more, this fish isn't very big, and it has a lot of bones.

Yun Jiao described to Cat Boss how delicious the big fish in the sea were.

"I'll bring you a big fish next time I come."

She spread her arms and made a huge circle.

The cat was nice to her, and she wanted to be nice to this big, fluffy cat that felt so good to touch.

"Meow."

Seeing that Yun Jiao wouldn't eat, the cat boss lowered its head and quickly gnawed off the fish's head.

The fish wasn't big, and it finished it quickly.

Then the two people and the cat went home with the fruits of their labor for the day.

Just as they approached the cornfield, the cat suddenly meowed at Yun Jiao and then left.

But in the blink of an eye, the cat disappeared.

Well, it seems this cat doesn't want to interact with too many people; it's a very individualistic big cat.

Other cats are kept by people, but this tabby cat is the one keeping people.

"Holy crap, where did you catch so many wild chickens?!"

Yun Xiaowu emerged from the cornfield just in time to meet them. When he saw what they were carrying, he couldn't help but swear in shock.

Then he was hit on the head by a military green liberation shoe that flew out from the cornfield.

This level of precision shows that the shoe owner has practiced a lot.

"Dad, hit me gently! What will you do if you smash my usually brilliant brain and make it stupid?!"

Yun Linhai walked over, picked up the shoe, and slapped him again.

What did you just say?

Yun Xiaowu said guiltily, "No, I was just too shocked."

Yun Linhai also saw what the two children were carrying and his eyes widened immediately.

"Have you guys stirred up a brothel?"

Other people also came out of the cornfield.

Shen Xiuyuan exclaimed loudly, "Are there any more places to play? Take me there too!"

Yun Jiao shook her head: "They've all flown away."

Yun Xiaojiu said excitedly, "It was a super powerful tabby cat that led us to hunt them. Both of these pheasants were caught by that tabby cat, and it gave one of them to Jiaojiao."

Even without Yun Xiaojiu's detailed description, the Shen family knew which tabby cat he was referring to.

Uncle Shen: "Is it the one from Grandma Hu's house?"

Yun Jiao nodded.

Shen Xiuyuan clapped his hands: "I knew it! That cat is too amazing. It can catch wild rabbits, let alone pheasants."

Cousin Shen Kuan: "Then why did it give Jiaojiao a pheasant? Why is it so nice to Jiaojiao?"

Shen Xiuyuan: "I don't know what's wrong with that cat, it seems to really like Jiaojiao. It usually runs away when it sees people, but today it ate the dried fish that Jiaojiao gave it and even let her touch its ears and paws."

"They're giving you wild pheasants, how could you not like it?"

Everyone was discussing it animatedly.

Yun Xiaowu and his friends, however, were quite curious about that powerful tabby cat.

Unfortunately, the cat ran away.

"There are still so many bamboo fungus, this is a good thing." "Come on, when we go home today, Grandma will make you stew bamboo fungus with pheasant."

"Great!"

Yun Jiao's eyes lit up when food was mentioned.

Pheasant is delicious, bamboo fungus is delicious, pheasant + bamboo fungus = super delicious!

They descended the mountain in a lively and cheerful manner, encountering other villagers along the way who all expressed their envy upon seeing them.

“You have a large family, so it won’t be long before you finish harvesting. You’ve found a good son-in-law; he brings his kids to help every year during the busy farming season.”

Nowadays, married daughters rarely bring their husbands and children to help their parents' family.

The husband's family is also very busy. In some cases, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is tense. If the daughter-in-law really takes her husband and children back to her parents' home to help, she will inevitably be criticized and ridiculed. It might even lead to a fight.

So they really envied Grandma Shen's family.

The daughter married into a family with a good mother-in-law and a good husband, and she also gave birth to so many sons. They are extremely envious of her family's labor force.

The pheasant was hidden in a basket; otherwise, these people would have been even more envious and jealous.

It was already afternoon when I got home, and the sun was almost setting.

After working so hard for so long, everyone is exhausted and hungry.

It seemed like the woman next door had already given birth, but Yun Jiao didn't hear any screams from her.

Several women immediately busied themselves cooking. Since they were neighbors, Grandma Shen went next door to check on the situation.

Yunjiao peeled corn husks with her maternal grandfather and the others.

If you encounter a corn weevil, just throw it at your feet.

The chickens were released from the coop, and led by the mother hen, the chicks followed and ran over to eat insects.

This is a feast for them.

Soon, Grandma Shen returned.

Yun Jiao stared at her expectantly, her big eyes seeming to speak volumes as she inquired about the situation.

Grandma Shen smiled and said, "She gave birth! She gave birth to a big, healthy boy."

But then she spat again.

“I saw that Juanzi gave birth to a big, healthy boy, but that old woman didn’t treat her very well. Her husband prepared all the food for her, and he didn’t even bother to take care of his daughter-in-law during her postpartum period.”

"I could forgive those girls before, they thought she was really sexist, but now that she has a grandson, she's not that happy. She used to constantly bring up Juanzi's inability to have a son, but now that she has, she's still unhappy. I really don't know what that person is thinking."

Yun Jiao: "Why is it necessary to have a son?"

Grandma Shen patted her head.

"That old woman favors boys over girls, no... she's just biased towards the youngest one in the family."

“We don’t discriminate against girls in our family. Jiaojiao is our precious darling.”

Yun Jiao nodded; she agreed with this point.

She had seen the preference for sons over daughters in Bailong Village before, with Cai Jinhua's family being a prime example.

"After I finish eating, I'll take some chicken soup and eggs to the neighbors next door."

In this day and age, there's a saying that a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative.

Of course, Grandma Shen couldn't like her mean-spirited and biased neighbor, the old woman next door, but her eldest son, second son, and their two daughters-in-law were all easy to get along with.

When her daughter-in-law gave birth to Xiao Yuan, Juanzi also brought a few eggs from her parents' home.

The reason she brought the eggs from her parents' home was that the old woman wouldn't let her deliver them; all the eggs and grain in the house were kept under her watchful eye by that old woman.

The aroma of stewed chicken wafted from the kitchen, and Yun Jiao couldn't sit still any longer. She dropped her corn and ran to the kitchen.

"Aunt, when can Mother eat?"

"Almost there, almost there, your nose is the most sensitive."

Aunt Shen secretly took a slice of steamed smoked sausage and handed it to Yun Jiao.

"Have a taste."

Yun Jiao didn't hold back and bit down hard.

"good to eat."

Shen Yunlian poked her forehead in an annoyed tone.

"All she knows is eating. The food isn't even on the table yet. Sister-in-law, don't spoil her."
