I have been farming since I crossed over.

Old Mrs. Wu grabbed Wu and said excitedly, "Miss Xi is back. Is she okay?"

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she was surprised how her mother knew Xier was back. She was going to send a letter to her mother, but she thought that since Moer was getting married, her mother would definitely come, so she didn't go. Unexpectedly, her mother asked about Xier as soon as she entered the house. As expected, she loved Xier very much. She quickly replied, "Xier is back. She is very smart and capable. She is doing very well!" Then she took Mrs. Wu and Mr. Wu by one hand and walked to the newly set table. She pushed the old couple to sit on the bench and said, "Hurry up and eat. You must be exhausted! Ah Hu has gone to pick up his uncles. Don't worry, mother."

Old Mrs. Wu sat at the table and said to Old Man Wu, "Let's go fulfill our vow some other day. We finally blessed Xi girl to come back." Then she pounded her waist and legs and said, "I'm so tired. I'm old and useless. I've been exhausted for just this short distance."

"What nonsense are you talking about, old woman? It's a nice day, don't talk nonsense." Old man Wu said, then turned to look at the gate of Old Yang's yard. Our family members haven't caught up yet?

Mrs. Wu looked at the old couple sitting there, and quickly looked towards the door. Then she saw her eldest brother and quickly asked him to come and sit down. As soon as Uncle Wu sat down, he said, "Is Miss Xi okay?" Mrs. Wu nodded and looked towards the gate again.

At that moment, a group of people came in carrying things, accompanied by Yang Laowu, directing the moving. The Wu family knew carpentry and had agreed that for any Wu child, regardless of gender, the pair of boxes and cabinets for their wedding would be delivered directly by the Wu family, with the Yang family not having to prepare anything. If there were any other needs, they could ask for them to be delivered as well. Yang Mingyun also had a pair of boxes and cabinets when she got married. Second Uncle Wu told Yang Laowu to have someone take care of the wild boar and just add a dish tomorrow.

Yang Mingxi was pulled by her four aunts, who asked her all sorts of questions. She answered them all with a smile, and then brought them to Wu's table to prepare for dinner. Old Mrs. Wu looked at Yang Mingxi surrounded by her daughters-in-law and was very happy. She was completely well now, and she was eloquent, so she could easily greet several aunts.

At Mrs. Wu's table, there were four aunts, old man and his wife Wu, plus Mrs. Wu, Yang Mingyun, Yang Mingmo, Yang Mingxi and Yang Mingqian. Finally, at the strong request of Mrs. Wu, Yang Mingxi sat next to her. During the whole meal, Mrs. Wu helped Yang Mingxi pick up vegetables, which made Yang Mingxi feel embarrassed. She had agreed to sit next to her grandmother just to take care of her during the meal, but she didn't expect that the situation would be reversed in the end. It was her grandmother who took care of Yang Mingxi. Yang Mingxi liked Mrs. Wu more from the bottom of her heart.

At another table, Yang Laowu was accompanied by his four brothers-in-law, Gu Laosan, and his four cousins, and the table was also full. Then, Uncle Wu told them about picking up a wild boar.

They had already climbed over the top of the mountain carrying their belongings and were sitting under a large tree to rest when suddenly a large wild boar charged directly at the tree. Before the Wu family could run away, they found the wild boar had fallen and was unable to get up. The Wu family members found vines to tie up the wild boar. If someone came looking for them, they would return it to the owner. If no one came looking for them, they would be lucky enough to carry the wild boar to their daughter's house and have it as a dish for tomorrow's banquet. In this way, everyone waited there for almost an hour. Seeing that it was almost dark, they quickly carried the wild boar and rushed to Old Yang's house, otherwise it would be inconvenient to eat when it got dark. Later, because they were carrying heavy objects and had traveled so far, everyone was tired and delayed their visit.

When Yang Mingxi was eating, she always felt like she was being watched. After the meal, she said hello and went to the backyard to watch her third brother and his friends slaughter a pig.

Yang Mingxi arrived in the backyard and saw a large, shaved wild boar lying on a table. He circled the boar and saw a hole in its head, as if it had been shot with an arrow. He then looked elsewhere and saw a similar hole in the pig's belly. Yang Mingxi was certain this wild boar wasn't the rabbit he'd seen, but had been hunted.

At this moment, Yang Mingxi felt the feeling of being watched again. He looked around and found that there was no one around. Only his third brother and a few villagers were fetching water to clean the wild boar, preparing to gut it.

Yang Mingxi thought about it and told her three friends to wait for a while and not to deal with the wild boar yet. She would be back soon and tell them what to do!

Yang Mingxi found her uncle and shared her findings with him. Uncle Wu, after careful consideration, felt it was possible someone had hunted the boar, only to die before it collided with a tree. However, the family had been waiting there for an hour, and no one had come to claim it. They also thought it might have been the person who had hunted it, but because they had missed a vital point, they thought the boar had escaped again and didn't follow, leaving the Wu family in a good position.

Yang Mingxi also felt that this was a high possibility, and then said to his uncle, "Uncle, I'll ask my second brother to go out and ask around. If it's a hunter from our village, and they know we're going to get a big wild boar, they might come looking for us. We'll just pay them the compensation they deserve. When you go home, ask around in your village too, and we'll handle it the same way."

Uncle Wu also thought this made sense. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay, let's do it this way. But I have to pay for the money. We brought it here in the first place. It's for Mo'er's wedding."

Yang Mingxi looked at her honest and straightforward uncle, then thought about her grandparents who had always given her money for medical treatment. She decided not to compete with her uncle, and could just make up for it in other places in the future. Then she nodded and said, "Then my uncle will have to pay for it. Let's not tell my grandparents about this for now, so as not to worry them. I'll go tell my third brother and let them handle it!" After that, she went to the backyard to find her third brother.

In the backyard, Yang Mingyu and the others were cleaning the wild boar over and over again. Seeing Yang Mingxi coming over, they hurriedly greeted their third sister and whispered, "Xier, is there something wrong with this wild boar? Can we deal with it later?"

Yang Mingxi whispered to her third brother, "Just treat it like any other pig you kill. Set aside the parts that were used to make the braised meat yesterday. Let your third brother handle it later. Some things can't be shared with others for the time being." After listening to her third sister's instructions, Yang Mingyu went to deal with the wild boar.

This time, Yang Mingxi was very sure that someone was staring at her. She slowly turned around and prepared to go find her second brother, then suddenly turned her head and looked outside the courtyard wall not far behind her. She didn't know if it was because it was dark, but she didn't see anything. Yang Mingxi didn't stay for long, and then went to find her second brother to explain what she had gone out to investigate. What Yang Mingxi didn't know was that she was really being watched by two people, and the subsequent changes shaped her life.

Two men, hidden in the darkness outside the courtyard wall, exchanged glances and headed toward the village entrance! These two were the secret guards of Lu Jintang, the youngest son of the Lu family. Today, they had followed their master up the mountain to hunt when they encountered a fully grown wild boar. Equipped only with wooden swords, they underestimated the boar's rough hide and only managed to shoot it twice, one in the stomach and one in the head. The boar, in pain, fled! The five of them, master and servant, felt humiliated that they hadn't managed to kill a wild boar, so they gave chase.

But something strange happened. The wild boar, as if it wanted to die, ran straight into a big tree and died. Coincidentally, there was a group of people sitting under the tree, apparently taking a rest, just guarding the tree and waiting for the wild boar. The master was afraid of exposing his whereabouts, so he went back. The two of them were unwilling to give up, so they stayed and stared at the group of people. First, they were curious about what they would do with a big wild boar they picked up, and second, they wanted to see if there were any dangers or other things around the mountain. As a result, the two secret guards with strong martial arts skills were almost discovered, but they couldn't feel the level of this person's martial arts. Before they were discovered, they quickly reported the discovery to the master, so as not to delay the master's business!

The two men avoided the crowd and, under the cover of darkness, successfully inspected the village. When they arrived at the village entrance, they felt a familiar smell, noted the location, and headed towards the slope across the river at the village entrance.
