Big Willow Village.

After dinner, Chun Xing took Yu Suihuan into her room.

"Huanhuan, luckily my two sisters-in-law and I made clothes for you first. There's only a little left to do. The three of us will hurry up tonight and it should be all done tomorrow. Your wedding was so rushed that we didn't have time to prepare anything."

In fact, Yu Suihuan is still hesitating, wondering whether a contract marriage with Li Chengjin is the right choice.

However, marrying him would solve all her current problems, such as the [leftover women tax], corvée labor, and the fact that she had no place to live.

As long as I marry him, these problems will not be a problem.

Anyway, she has the space and all the food is in her hands. It seems that Li Chengjin is fine except for his annoying mouth. After all, he is willing to give so much food to her.

Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. I can only take it one step at a time!

That night she slept in the same bed with Chun Xing, and they talked a lot. Yu Suihuan really couldn't agree with the thoughts of ancient women.

What about the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, respecting one's parents-in-law, and not disobeying elders? It's so confusing just to hear about them!

As long as others treat her well, she will naturally treat others well. After all, people are made of flesh and blood, and sincerity will be rewarded with sincerity.

If anyone wants to use her as a nanny, don't blame her for being rude, because it's not like they're really getting married anyway.

She is not mentally ill. She has to run to other people's homes to serve as a free babysitter. She has work to do.

Even if you get married, you should be able to live a better life than you are now. Whoever wants to be a free nanny can do it!

Her thoughts coincided with Li Chengjin's. He married his wife to love her and let her live a good life. How could he bear to let her work and serve as a maid?

The forest under the moonlight was silent and cold, and the occasional cries were eerie and particularly scary.

Li Chengjin held a bow and arrow in his hand and walked lightly, carefully looking at each big tree. At this time, the pheasants would huddle on the branches and sleep. As long as his eyes were good enough to see, it would be easier to hunt them than during the day.

Just over an hour after entering the mountains, he hunted five pheasants.

Perhaps it was because the bloody smell of the pheasant in his backpack was too strong, a big snake as thick as a child's arm slowly crawled down from the branch, and the black and yellow snake skin on its body emitted a faint cold light.

When Li Chengjin heard the rustling sound, he silently tightened his grip on the dagger at his waist, and his entire body was motionless except for his eyes.

The snake head wrapped around the branch raised high and quickly attacked him. It was fast as if it was slow. The dagger in his hand swung as fast as lightning. At the same time when the big snake pounced on him, the blade pierced into the big snake's seven inches steadily and accurately.

The thick snake body quickly wrapped around his arm, and its long tail swung back and forth. Only then did Li Chengjin see the true appearance of the snake. It was about ten feet long, a really big creature!

The snake twisted its body in pain after being stabbed in the middle, but it had lost its strength in a moment. It slowly lost its strength and slid down his arm to the ground.

When the snake was completely motionless, Li Chengjin bent down to pick it up, coiled it into a pile, and put it in the backpack behind him.

This big snake must weigh several dozen kilograms. It will definitely fetch a good price if we take it to town.

I had originally planned to go into the mountains and catch a few more pheasants to exchange for some silver so I could buy Huanhuan a silver hairpin or a silver bracelet as a betrothal gift, but I didn't expect the harvest to be so great.

Li Chengjin was overjoyed. He put away his bow and arrows and quickly went down the mountain, waiting to take all these to the town early the next morning to sell them for silver.

After returning home and taking a cold shower, he lay in bed unable to sleep, wondering whether he should sell the pheasant and the snake to a clinic, a restaurant, or a wealthy family. He wondered where he could get a higher price.

He tossed and turned for a long time and couldn't fall asleep. As soon as the chickens outside started crowing, Li Chengjin simply got out of bed, harnessed the donkey cart, put the pheasant and the big snake in the cart and prepared to go to town.

When Mrs. Li Zhou heard some noise outside, she put on her coat and went out of the house. She saw her third son harnessing the donkey cart and about to go out.

"Where are you going so early in the morning with your donkey cart? Today is the day you want to marry your wife. Are you going to regret it?"

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Li Zhou was shocked, and she immediately wanted to call the eldest and second brothers to come out and arrest the man and not let him run away!

"Mother, what are you thinking? How could I go back on my word when I finally got the wife I wanted? I went into the mountains last night and shot a few pheasants. I wanted to take them to town and sell them for a betrothal gift."

Li Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. She was so scared. It would be fine if she didn't run away from the marriage.

"You don't need to worry about the betrothal gift. I have already prepared two taels of silver as betrothal gift. Your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law also gave two taels of silver at that time."

"I'll be back after I sell the pheasants. Don't worry, mother. I won't delay the auspicious time for the wedding."

Li Chengjin got on the donkey cart and whipped it, and the donkey started running.

It takes less than half an hour to drive a donkey cart from Lijia Village to Xiushui Town.

When he arrived in the town and passed by the back door of Zhu's house, he happened to see a vegetable farmer carrying a load of fresh vegetables and talking to a man who looked like a housekeeper.

After thinking it over for a while, he stopped his donkey cart, walked up to the man who looked like a butler and bowed to him.

"Uncle, I just hunted a few pheasants and a big snake in the mountains early this morning. They are all very fresh. I wonder if you would like them."

When Cao Xu heard that there were fresh pheasants and big snakes, his eyes lit up and he tilted his head to look at the donkey cart.

"Bring it to me quickly."

As soon as Li Chengjin saw the housekeeper's appearance, he knew something was going to happen. He turned around and walked to the donkey cart, holding a backpack in one hand and five pheasants tied together in the other, and placed them in front of Cao Xu.

"Uncle, look, this is such a big snake, its gallbladder is a great tonic."

He lifted the snake from the backpack and found that it was much longer than him.

"Yes, yes, yes. This big snake is rare. I want all of them."

Cao Xu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. His master loved to eat wild game the most. If he brought such a fresh big snake and the snake gall to the master, he would definitely get a lot of reward.

"Then I will bring you the good stuff I hunt in the mountains in the future, instead of sending it to the restaurant in town. This pheasant is still alive and breathing. It can be used to make soup. It is fresh and delicious, and it can replenish blood and qi."

"This big snake, needless to say, has been growing in the mountains for who knows how many years. Its gallbladder is several times more effective than those of ordinary snakes, and its meat is also a great tonic."

Li Chengjin's words were exaggerated, saying that one would become an immortal the next moment after eating it. He said so much just to make more money.

After hearing this, Cao Xu nodded repeatedly.

"For this snake and the pheasant, I'll give you six taels of silver. Do you think it's worth it? If you get any fresh game in the future, remember to send it over quickly. I want them all. My surname is Cao, and my name is Cao Xu. When you come here next time, tell the doorman to look for Butler Cao."
