Pig Killer

"It smells especially good." The raccoon slave nodded in agreement, "From now on, we'll use a big iron pot to cook, so we can cook it all in one pot and eat it together."

"Okay! Listen to my cat slave." Shen Hui'e looked at her gently with her warm eyes.

"Donglai, are you full?" Shen Hui'e said to them with gentle eyes.

"I'm full." Cheng Donglai said embarrassedly, "We ate a little too much."

"You half-grown boy, you're eating me to death. This is a normal amount of food." Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said, "This is the only way to grow taller."

"Um...Auntie, can we help you with the spring plowing? Just give us something to eat." Cheng Donglai looked at her pleadingly with his puppy-like wet eyes.

"No problem." Shen Hui'e responded readily, "It's just that farming is very hard."

"We used to farm, it wasn't hard work at all." Cheng Donglai said with a smile.

Not to mention that she employed child labor, during the years when farming relied solely on manual labor, she and her two children still had to go to the fields.

"It would be nice if it rained." Shen Hui'e looked up at the blue sky and said.

"Will it rain when the sun is so bright?" The big insect put his hand on his forehead and looked at the sun.

"Silly boy, how dare you look directly at the sun!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with amusement and said, "Your eyes must be uncomfortable now!"

"Everything is dark!" The big insect shook his little head and laughed, "It will be fine in a while."

"What a little fool." Shen Hui'e looked at him lovingly and said.

"I didn't look at it, I just took a quick glance." The big tiger smiled foolishly.

"Come on! Pack up, lock the door, and let's go find your Uncle Liu." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her dark, bright eyes and said, "Try to finish it as soon as possible so that we can sit outside and eat."

"It's cooler to sit outside and eat." Li Nu looked at her with watery eyes and said.

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e nodded with a smile.

"It's just that mosquitoes are annoying." The big insect said with a pout.

"Let's plant some mosquito repellent herbs in the yard this year, so we don't have to worry about being bitten by mosquitoes." Shen Hui'e said to them with her bright eyes.

"Really?" Da Chong asked her with his eyes wide open.

"Really!" Shen Hui'e bent down slightly and looked at them with a smile on her face. "When the herbs are dried, put them in a bag and tie it around your waist." She pointed to his linen belt and said, "This way, you won't have to worry about mosquitoes chasing you and biting you wherever you go."

"Wow... that's great." The big insect jumped up happily and said, "After the mosquito bite, it was so itchy. I scratched it until it was bruised, but it didn't relieve the itch."

"It would be great if we could get rid of mosquitoes and flies." Li Nu looked at them hopefully and said.

"That's impossible! They are so numerous..." Shen Hui'e slammed on the brakes and changed her words, "There are too many descendants. We can't kill them all."

"We can only kill one when we catch one," said the tiger, clapping his hands.

After spring plowing, the road surface must be paved and the sewers must be repaired, otherwise we will not be able to survive this summer.

Just thinking about it, Shen Hui'e shuddered deeply.

"I'm back." Shen Changsheng stood in front of her with a tired and dusty face.

"Huh... I'm glad you're back." Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep eyes and said, "Are you hungry? There's still..." She glanced at the big iron pot and said, "Only the fish head."

"Fish head is fine too, it's delicious, give it to me!" Shen Changsheng said to her with a smile on his face.

"Da Chong, pour some hot water for your uncle to wash." Shen Hui'e ordered quickly.

"Hey!" The big tiger ran into the yard hurriedly to fetch water.

After Shen Changsheng washed clean, Shen Hui'e brought the fish head soup into the house and placed it on the wooden table.

"Da Chong, take your sister out to play! I want to talk to your uncle." Shen Hui'e said to the brother and sister with bright eyes.

"Oh, oh, oh!" The big insect responded quickly and cleverly, and then added deliberately, "Tell me later!"

"I know." Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed when she heard that. She looked at the brother and sister lovingly and said, "I'll tell you in detail."

"Li Nu, let's go." Da Chong held the ball and pulled Li Nu out of the house, and played football with Cheng Donglai and others directly outside the meat stall.

"This kid." Shen Changsheng smiled lovingly upon seeing this, "Little clever boy."

"How is it?" Shen Hui'e looked at him anxiously and said.

"It's done." Shen Changsheng said happily like a child.

"It's OK. Let's eat quickly and then we'll talk after dinner." Shen Hui'e stood up with the help of her knees and said, "Take your time to eat. I'll go outside to clean up."

"Okay!" Shen Changsheng responded with a smile, picked up the chopsticks and watched her leave.

By the time Shen Hui'e cleaned the big iron pot and extinguished the fire in the stove, Shen Changsheng had also eaten his fill.

The brother and sister sat on the bed and talked about their trip to Hedong County.

"It's a one-time deal. I've brought all the stuff back home." Shen Changsheng looked at her with his shiny black eyes and said, "I came here first because I knew you were anxious."

"That's good. We have no power or influence. All we need to do is make some money." Shen Hui'e looked at him with clear eyes.

"That's not just a little money, it's a lot of money." Shen Changsheng raised his index finger and said, "Guess how much it is?"

"Don't sell the pipes anymore, just tell me quickly." Shen Hui'e urged anxiously.

"One thousand gold." Shen Changsheng announced happily.

"Oh!" Shen Hui'e nodded when she heard that.

"This is one thousand gold coins, and you just say oh?" Shen Changsheng looked at her in surprise.

"What's a thousand gold? Can it help me farm?" Shen Hui'e looked at him unhappily.

"Ga..." Shen Changsheng was confused. What does this gold have to do with farming?

"I have 80 mu of land. It will take us forever to grow crops with just the three of us," Shen Hui'e complained. "Can this gold be used to grow crops? Can it be eaten?"

"Hehe..." Shen Changsheng shook his head and laughed when he heard her, tears coming out of his eyes as he looked at her.

"Don't laugh! What you need when you are hungry is food. It's useless even if you have mountains of gold or silver." Shen Hui'e said worriedly with a pout.

"I'll farm your land. I'll do it." Shen Changsheng said to his sister with a smile on his face.

"I will definitely have to trouble my relatives and friends." Shen Hui'e clasped her hands together and bowed, "Thank you in advance, big brother."

"Why are you being so polite to me? I'm your brother." Shen Changsheng looked at her gently and said.

"How did you meet the county magistrate? It must be difficult for them to meet!" Shen Hui'e asked with concern.

"Everyone in the world is here for profit. Without money, the rich and powerful are nothing." Shen Changsheng sighed, "They need money to support their luxurious lifestyle. To support so many retainers, they can't do without money."

"That's good. I was really worried that your trip wouldn't go smoothly." Shen Hui'e said in one breath, and her heart was relieved.
