A small breakfast shop in the street market, supporting the family and making money

"Because we must keep our promises and keep our word."

Leng Yan said calmly, "When we first sold our silver sprouts to Xianju Pavilion, we had already signed a contract not to sell it to another owner.

No matter how many untrustworthy people Xianju Pavilion has encountered before, we will not be one of them.

Because the most important thing in doing business is honesty and trustworthiness, so that you can go long-term! "

Leng Yan said solemnly, and Leng Cang listened ignorantly. He was only eleven years old, and it was the time for him to establish his three views.

"That's right, Huai'er and Cang, you should remember this."

Mr. Leng also said, "You don't have to make promises easily, but if you do, you must keep your word."

All these years later, what they said today is still firmly engraved in their hearts.

The few of them talked as they walked, turned out of Dong'an Street, and headed towards Xishi.

After they bought things in the market, they rode the ox cart back to the village.

The weather was fine today. As soon as they entered the village, they saw villagers sitting in groups of three or four in the corner basking in the sun.

When they saw them, some people came to talk to them. After chatting for a while, someone asked Old Man Leng where he got the medicine for Leng Xun's injured leg.

Leng Yan felt something was wrong when he was asked this question for no reason, so he stepped forward to inquire the reason.

Liu Tiezi, Li Yuemei's man, went up the mountain to set traps and bury animal traps a few days ago. Today, taking advantage of the good weather, he wanted to go up the mountain to see if he had caught any prey.

Everything was fine. There were two pheasants in the trap and a rabbit in the trap. Just when Liu Tiezi was about to return with a full load, a wild boar suddenly rushed down the mountain.

Liu Tiezi was so frightened that he slipped and rolled down the hillside.

Fortunately, the pheasant and rabbit in his hands were left where they were, and the wild boar stopped to eat the prey. Liu Tiezi then escaped with his injured leg.

Otherwise, not only will the prey be lost, but your life will also be in danger!

"Yes, yes. Fortunately, he only ate some wild rabbit or something. His leg injury will heal after some rest. If he loses his life, it would be a loss."

"Oh, what are you talking about, eating only rabbits and pheasants?

You don’t know that the wild boar ran down the mountain and not only ate up my wheat field, but also chopped up your firewood.”

The onlookers were still sighing when a woman came towards them excitedly, talking as she walked.

"What a horrible thing! My good wheat seedling field has been eaten up by dogs. Such good wheat seedlings are wasted."

Leng Yan recognized the woman; she was Aunt Haitang who lived next door to them.

"Oh, Mr. Leng, you guys are finally back. That wild boar went crazy and chopped up your firewood and broke it into pieces. You should go back and take a look."

Aunt Haitang approached and saw the Leng family, and hurriedly reminded them.

The Leng family, Aunt Liu's family, and Aunt Haitang's family all live at the end of the village near the foot of the mountain.

The land is large, and although the three families live at the foot of the mountain, they are quite far away from each other. Now that Aunt Haitang's wheat field has been destroyed, the wild boar can run to Leng's house, which shows how crazy the wild boar is.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yan and others quickly returned home with their things on their backs.

When she arrived at the door of her house, Leng Yan saw Zhang Cuiniang and Leng Su from afar, who were leading the twin babies to sort firewood.

Leng Yan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat along the way. Fortunately, he was relieved to see that his family was fine.

"Grandpa, uncle, big brother, big sister, that wild boar is very fierce and its roar is very loud."

Leng He recalled the sound she heard in the house, and gestured exaggeratedly as she spoke.

"Yes, yes, it seems like the wild boar's tail is holding a piece of iron, and it swings with every step it takes, making a clanging sound!"

Leng Qi secretly saw through the crack in the door that the wild boar was black and strong, and had two big teeth.

Leng Yan was horrified when he heard this and felt that he had to think of a way to deal with it.

It is not a good sign when wild boars come down the mountain. It is nothing more than unusual movements in the mountains and a lack of food, so they have to come down the mountain to look for food. And after this time, there will be a second time.

Fortunately, nothing serious happened, otherwise her fence and wall would have been demolished.

Leng Yan was thinking about this in his heart while he and his family were stacking the firewood again.

After lunch, Zhang Cuiniang carried two pork ribs, a few eggs and half a bag of brown sugar and went to visit Li Yuemei's house.

Previously, when Leng Xun went up the mountain to catch rabbits and injured his leg, he happened to meet Liu Tiezi who was hunting in the mountain, and Leng Xun was carried down the mountain by him.

Liu Tiezi has done the Leng family a favor, and we don't know how serious his injuries are now. The Leng family must go and see him and express their condolences.

Seeing this, Leng Yan quickly followed.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of Liu's house, Zhang Cuiniang and her daughter heard Li Yuemei's loud and angry scolding.

"How embarrassing! The wild boar hasn't even chased you away yet, but you just rolled down the mountain because your legs were weak. How shameless!

I've said it before, you are such a coward, yet you still want to be a hunter to support your family, where do you get the courage? No matter how shameless you are, why don't you look in the mirror and see if you have the meat!"

The endless scolding left the mother and daughter outside the door in a dilemma.

Fortunately, at this time, Li Yuemei's daughter Liu Qingxia came out to pour water, saw them, and then smiled and invited them in.

"Hey, Cangge'er's mother, Yanjie'er, why are you here? Come and sit down."

Li Yuemei was cursing because she was thirsty. She just lowered her head to take a sip of water when she saw her daughter leading people in.

“I heard that Qingxia’s father injured his leg, so I came to take a look.

Last time, Cangge'er's father's incident happened, but it was thanks to Qingxia's father, otherwise I dare not think about the consequences. "

Zhang Cuiniang pushed the item over as she spoke, "It's not a good thing, so don't despise it."

The Leng family didn't have an easy life either, and Li Yuemei was about to refuse.

Seeing this, Leng Yan hurriedly said:

"Aunt, don't refuse. Uncle Liu's leg is injured. The soup made from the pork leg bones is very nourishing. It can help Uncle Liu recover."

"Well, there's no skin breakage and no bleeding, what's the point of mending it?"

Li Yuemei said with a smile: "You don't know, just now the village chief came in a hurry and saw that Qingxia's father had sprained his ankle. He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared."

"It's all my dad's fault. His roars were so harsh that I wish everyone in the village could hear them."

Liu Qingxia also joined in, "I told you before that my father is timid. I didn't allow him to go up the mountain to hunt, but he refused to listen. Now he has to learn his lesson."

The Liu family was all glad that Liu Tiezi's injury was just a false alarm. Zhang Cuiniang and her daughter also breathed a sigh of relief after figuring out the cause of the incident.

It was only this morning and they had already heard numerous versions of the story, including ones about broken legs and disability.

But in fact, Liu Tiezi just heard the cry of the wild boar from afar, and then he slipped and sprained his ankle. He didn't even have time to see the shadow of the wild boar, and he ran away dragging his legs.

It turns out that what you hear is not as good as what you see. Now I feel at ease.

As to why the wild boar ran down the mountain, that remains a question.

The next morning, Leng Yan got up very early.

There is not much entertainment now, so all I can do is go to bed early and get up early.

She thought of the wild boar from yesterday and wanted to go into the mountains to take a look.

So she hurried to the kitchen to make breakfast.
