They could be described as skinny and bony, and everyone looked bad. Xia Yining was worried that the kind villagers would be blown away by a gust of wind.

Even the He family had been eating better recently. They had a little more flesh on their faces and looked much more energetic. She couldn't imagine if she hadn't worn it, would she have starved to death if Mrs. He and her family had lived frugally.

Since she has traveled to ancient times, she won't stand out too much, but it's okay to sell some meat cheaply and occasionally improve the lives of the people.

Seeing them coming from afar, Old Man He stood up, patted himself, and looked at her with a smile: "Ning'er, is it fun to go to the mountain? Are you happy?"

He didn't have the courage to ask if she missed her dad. He always felt that it was a bit disgusting for a grown man to say such words.

Xia Yining noticed his awkwardness at a glance, opened his arms for him to hug, tugged at his beard with his little hands and said, "It's fun, I miss daddy too~!"

Old Man He: “!!”

With a look of surprise and pride on his face, he raised his head to show off silently to them, as if to say: "Look, the little girl said she misses him!!"

Boss He's face was filled with envy. He still hasn't been able to hug the little sister, and hasn't even touched the corner of her clothes. He is indeed at the bottom of the food chain.

He looked at his father with jealousy, with an expression of resignation, carrying a backpack on his back and pushing a cart into the yard.

Before they could say anything, a villager shouted at the door: "Uncle He, Aunt He, excuse me, everyone is here to buy game."

Xu smiled and opened the courtyard door. Mrs. He looked at them and said, "You are so polite. In the village, no one would come in without just shouting. Don't do that next time."

Having said that, I am still very happy about what they did. After all, no one likes to have someone suddenly appear in the house.

The slightly older people, who all understood the ways of the world, smiled and replied, "That won't do. If it gets out, people will say that Xiao Tiancun doesn't know etiquette."

Mrs. He replied, "Okay, okay, I will be more careful in the future and never ruin the reputation of the village."

After all the polite words, Boss He picked up the backpack and poured it on the ground. The first time, nothing in the basket fell out, but after the second and third times, pheasants and rabbits rolled out.

He felt scared as he was pouring the food out in his hands. He felt that the basket was really heavy. The reason why it couldn't be emptied was because there were too many prey items. Xu had stuffed them in with all his strength, leaving no space.

Looking at thirty or forty pheasants and rabbits, the air became quiet.

Boss He: “!”

Mother He: “!!”

Old Man He: “!!”

Someone whispered, "Aren't the animals on Datian Mountain spirits? Why are they causing trouble?"

"It's amazing, so much meat~!!"

"This much meat is enough to fill me up, right? I can eat it every day. Life would be great if I could eat it every day."

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Xu quickly said, "You don't know, going up the mountain today is really dangerous."

She was so numb while packing the meat that she had forgotten how much she had. At this moment, she needed a story to make up for today's events, and she thought of it as soon as her mind turned.

Everyone looked curious and asked, "What? What happened?"

Xu looked terrified, and continued, "I took my child up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables, but I didn't expect to encounter a wild boar digging a rabbit nest. I took my child and hid as soon as I saw it."

"It was a wild boar. It could easily kill someone. I was so scared with my child at the time."

Hearing this, the villagers all nodded and agreed, "Yes, yes, that's a big wild boar. It can kill people if you encounter it. Who wouldn't be afraid?"

Xu nodded and reminded, "We were carrying three children at the time, and we couldn't hurt anyone, so we just wanted to hide aside and wait for the wild boar to finish digging and leave before quickly getting down the mountain."

"Unexpectedly, another wild boar came and chased the pheasants. The whole forest was in a mess, with birds flying around and landing on people's heads." He felt a little embarrassed while speaking and chuckled.

Then he said, "I haven't eaten meat for a long time. I wanted to give some to my family. If I saw someone hit me, I would quickly grab him, tie him up and throw him into the backpack."

Hearing this, the villagers couldn't help but give her a thumbs up and praised her: "You are really amazing. Even at this time, you still want to catch pheasants to feed your family."

Xu looked shy and waved her hands, saying, "It's not that bad. I just hid for a long time until the wild boar scared the rabbits out. The rabbits got scared and started running around. Most of them fainted."

"We waited until the wild boar left. Some people picked up some meat, and some hit them with sticks. We didn't expect there was so much meat." Hehehe... The children at home can eat their fill.

Everyone living in Datian Village knows how powerful wild boars are. Their attack power is no less than that of wild beasts. If they injure someone, the person will surely die.

Hearing what Xu said at this moment, one can only sigh at his luck. Not only was he able to avoid the wild boar, but he was also able to pick up so much meat.

"Oh my~~~Sister-in-law is so lucky and has a long life."

"Be careful when you go up the mountain next time. Let Brother He accompany you. Otherwise, if you and the child encounter any danger, how will Brother He survive?"

Boss He was very cooperative and looked at her with worry in his eyes, as if he had just learned about this.

Xu felt a little guilty as she heard the caring words around her. She quickly replied, "Yes, I won't dare to bring my children up the mountain anymore. You guys should be careful too."

Fortunately, Mrs. He saw her expression and quickly greeted everyone, "In town, a large pheasant costs thirty-five cents, and a small one costs twenty-six cents. I just told you to give everyone six copper coins less."

"I'm a good woman. The big one is 29 cents and you can choose whatever you want. The small one is 20 cents and you can choose whatever you want."

As he said this, he separated out a few pheasants and rabbits, some large and some small, and said, "These are going to be sent to my eldest brother's family and his in-laws, so please don't pick on them."

Without a doubt, she received another round of praise, and everyone praised her: "Tsk tsk~~~Aunt He is such a good mother-in-law. She gave such good meat to her in-laws. It's really enviable."

"Mrs. He, does your boy want to get engaged? Let's become in-laws. It would be good if we know each other well."

This made her straighten her back and scold with a smile: "It seems that you don't want to be in-laws, but you are thinking about the meat of your in-laws, right?"

Everyone knew that the two were joking and couldn't help laughing out loud. The He family courtyard was very lively for a while.

She carried a pheasant or wild rabbit and said to Mr. He: "Go and give it to your uncle and aunt. It's a good addition to the dish."

He picked out two small ones and handed them to Old Man He, saying, "Send them to the headman's house. You two brothers have a good relationship and are often taken care of by the headman. We can't be stingy."

Many people in the village knew that the He family had a good relationship with Zheng Lizheng, but they didn't think much about their actions. Instead, they thought that Mrs. He was generous.
