"Mother Li Quan, you'd better not block Mother Da Shuan from going home. Even if you block her, this wild boar can't become yours."

Someone tried to persuade Aunt Li to leave in a friendly manner and smiled kindly at Zhao Qiqi, trying to curry favor with her.

In fact, they all knew that the distribution rights were in Zhao Qiqi's hands, and the whole family was under Zhao Qiqi's control.

Seeing that she would get no good out of this, Aunt Li gave way.

Ersha was carrying the pig from the back and accidentally bumped into Aunt Li when he went in.

The force was so strong that Aunt Li was knocked to the ground.

"Ouch, I'm sorry, Auntie. The pig isn't completely dead yet and it bumped into you. Don't worry, I will kill it for you."

After putting the wild boar on the ground, Mrs. Gu and her family came.

"Wow, sister-in-law is really capable. She actually got such a big pig. Let me help you slaughter it." The wife of the second son of the Gu family is smart and materialistic. Before, Zhao Qiqi was almost starving to death but she didn't come. Now that she has got such a big wild boar, she comes so quickly.

She also knew Zhao Qiqi's status and showed her goodwill directly.

Zhao Qiqi dodged the hand that Gu Er's wife stretched out to her: "There's no need to talk about this in a hurry."

"Eldest daughter-in-law, how are you going to deal with this wild boar?" Seeing that the second daughter-in-law was not helping, Mrs. Gu spoke up herself.

"Mom, what do you mean by how to deal with it?" Zhao Qiqi played dumb and pretended not to understand what they meant.

"Mom is saying that you and your nephews can't finish eating all these pigs, and they're hard to deal with, so Mom asked us to help you." Gu's second daughter-in-law said what Old Lady Gu was not easy to say, and she echoed the old lady's words, quite skillfully.

"Mom, we're not planning on eating."

Old Madam Gu glared at her fiercely: "Do you want to give your mother's family back?"

Old Mrs. Gu was also a little angry. Zhao Qiqi didn't come back to the old house for the past two days. When she heard Aunt Li's son say that they had eaten a big fat chicken yesterday, she was very dissatisfied. If it had been before, Zhao Qiqi would definitely have given them half.

Since it’s not there, it must have been taken back to her parents’ home.

The reason why she was so wary of Zhao Qiqi was that she was worried that she would take the food back to her parents' home.

"Mom, we plan to sell it to buy food. You know we don't have any food left."

This makes sense. Old Mrs. Gu knows the situation of their family and she still cares about her grandson.

"Sell? Why would you sell it? These are all from the mountain. They belong to our village. You should share them with everyone."

The onlookers started shouting when they saw that they could not get any benefits.

Seeing so many people share the same goal as her, Aunt Li became more confident: "That's right, Aunt Dashuan, we can't be so stingy."

Zhao Qiqi rolled her eyes at her and asked, "Who cares about her?"

"Aunt Li, your son Li Quan caught a big fat chicken from the mountain yesterday. I saw it weighed at least five pounds. Why didn't you give a bowl to everyone?" Zhao Qiqi looked at Aunt Li leisurely.

Aunt Li was embarrassed and straightened her neck stubbornly: "I came to your house yesterday to look for the chicken, wasn't it because the chicken ran away? Don't you know that?"

The onlookers immediately knew that it was true that Aunt Li went to Zhao Qiqi’s house to ask for a chicken yesterday.

In fact, everyone knows that whoever catches the things on the mountain owns them, and there is no need to divide them.

Aunt Li did this out of nothing but greed and jealousy.

Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Aunt Li insisted, "Mrs. Dashuan, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but everything on this mountain belongs to our village. Since you've worked so hard to catch them, why don't you take more and give us less?"

Hearing Aunt Li's words, many people felt embarrassed and hurried to leave. Originally, they were just casually trying to share in the good fortune, but now Aunt Li's words were like begging for food, and were too blunt.

Seeing so many people leave, Aunt Li's momentum became weaker.

"This wild boar is not from our mountain."

"Mother Dashuan, you wouldn't lie just to not give us any meat, would you? I saw you carrying the meat down from the mountain with my own eyes."

It turned out that Aunt Li had seen them early and had been waiting for them to come down, pretending to be surprised.

"Isn't it enough to just ask Uncle Shi?" Zhao Qiqi rolled his eyes.

Shi Sheng used to be a butcher in the town, but now that he is old he has returned to live in the village.

He often goes up the mountain to hunt, so he knows best whether there are wild boars there.

"What are you thinking about, you silly woman? If there was a wild boar, I would have caught it long ago." Shi Sheng looked at Aunt Li as if she were a fool.

Pigs are reckless animals that leave a lot of footprints. If there really were such animals on the mountain, they would have been discovered long ago.

Shi Sheng was the one Santu had just invited back after he had sneaked out.

"Li Quan, why don't you take your mother back quickly? Can't you see that she looks uncomfortable?"

Zhao Qiqi always leaves a way out for Aunt Li.

Li Quan felt very embarrassed and didn't want to pay attention to Aunt Li, but after hearing what Zhao Qiqi said, he had no choice but to come over.

"Go away, everyone."

Old Mrs. Gu was very dignified. As soon as she spoke, everyone dispersed.

She glanced at Zhao Qiqi and left with Gu Er's wife.

"Uncle Shi." Zhao Qiqi called respectfully.

Shi Sheng snorted coldly. It was common for the original body to abuse the children under him. People in the village knew something about it. Shi Sheng himself had no children, but he loved the children in the village very much, so he was very dissatisfied with Zhao Qiqi's character.

"I asked Santu to invite you here today to slaughter this wild boar. There is not enough food now, and the children are growing up and need food. So I want to sell this pig to get money to buy food."

Hearing Zhao Qiqi's sincere attitude and her concern for the children, Shi Sheng's attitude softened.

"Uncle Shi, as long as you are willing to help us, we will pay you three hundred coins."

If she sold it directly to the system, she wouldn't have to pay the extra money, but some people would doubt where she got the money from. Now if she takes the wild boar to the town to sell it, she can spend the money with a clear conscience.

Shi Sheng waved his hand: "Just give me two hundred coins." He knew that it was not easy for Zhao Qiqi, an orphan and a widow, so he helped as much as he could. He just hoped that Zhao Qiqi would be nicer to the children after getting the money.

Zhao Qiqi bowed in gratitude and said, "Thank you, Uncle Shi, but we don't have any cash. I'm afraid we have to wait until we get the money from selling the pigs before we can give it to you."

"No problem. Boil some water first and then spread some straw on the ground to avoid getting it dirty."

Hu Lan and Dashuan hurried to fetch water and pour it on the stove, Sipang went to light the fire, Yunyun and Santu went to spread straw, and Ersha followed Uncle Shi to help.
