Let’s split up if we want to. I have a system, so who should I be afraid of?

Chapter 81: Picking Wild Fruits and Encountering Wild Boars

Lin Xiu'e is a person who cherishes blessings.

Therefore, in the Zhang family, she was filial to her parents-in-law.

Whenever her mother-in-law was not feeling well, she would take good care of her, serving her tea and water without any complaints.

She took great care of Daniu, knowing his well-being. When it was cold, she would prepare thick clothes for him; when it was hot, she would personally cook him refreshing mung bean soup.

She rushed to do all the housework, including washing clothes, cooking, feeding chickens and cows.

Every time Wang Hexiang looked at the busy Lin Xiu'e, she felt that she had made a fortune by marrying such a daughter-in-law. Even if she had money, she would never find such a good daughter-in-law!

Therefore, Wang Hexiang also treated her like her daughter.

She would often remind Da Niu that no matter how hard life was, women always loved beauty and should not just think about making money. If he saw new hair ornaments at the market, he should remember to buy a few for Lin Xiu'e.

In normal times, there was no discrimination in food and drink. Whatever Da Niu and Er Niu had, Lin Xiu'e would also have. During the Chinese New Year, he would also buy cloth to make clothes for Lin Xiu'e.

Wherever Wang Hexiang went, Lin Xiu'e followed her, and they were almost best friends.

There is no more harmonious relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the village.

The family lives in harmony and happiness!

……

After chatting for a while, Aunt Zhao suddenly remembered something and said, "There must be a lot of wild fruits on the mountain this autumn. Why don't we go pick some together? The children will definitely like it."

Wang Hexiang's eyes lit up: "What a good idea! The wild fruits at this time are sweet and delicious."

Lin Xiu'e also nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's find a time to go."

"Sure, I want to go too. I haven't been to the mountains to pick fruits this year." Su Panpan said that she also wanted to join the team.

Several women showed anticipation on their faces and began to discuss enthusiastically when was the best time to pick wild fruits.

Aunt Zhao thought for a moment and said, "In my opinion, let's do it the day after tomorrow. Everyone should get ready in the next two days and bring some baskets, cloth bags and so on." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Wang Hexiang said excitedly: "I'll tell my husband to help take care of the child the day after tomorrow."

Lin Xiu'e also smiled and said, "Mom, I'll clean up the house and prepare some dry food and water, just in case we have to stay in the mountains for a long time."

"I wonder what kind of wild fruits are on the mountain this year. It would be great if there were red hawthorns. They would be sour and sweet and delicious." Su Panpan has already begun to look forward to the wild fruits on the mountain.

……

Soon, the day for picking wild fruits arrived.

In the early morning, the sun shines on the earth.

Aunt Zhao, Wang Hexiang, Lin Xiu'e and Su Panpan each carried a backpack, a sickle, a bamboo stick and a net bag, and walked up the mountain with a happy mood.

Su Panpan originally wanted to ask Shen Ru to join her, but she was not at home. She was probably busy working in the fields.

Along the way, they talked and laughed, as if they were back in their youth.

In the mountains and forests, birds are singing happily and leaves are rustling.

Several women walked slowly up the mountain path, and the fresh air hit their faces.

Aunt Zhao was experienced and walked in front to lead the way, her eyes scanning the surrounding bushes and branches from time to time.

"Look, there is a bunch of wild hawthorns." Wang Hexiang exclaimed in surprise.

The branches are full of red hawthorn fruits, which look particularly tempting under the sunlight.

The women put down their baskets and picked hawthorns carefully.

As she picked the hawthorns, Lin Xiu'e said, "I can take these back to make hawthorn cakes for the children. They will surely be delicious."

Su Panpan couldn't wait to pick up a hawthorn and put it in her mouth. She squinted her eyes because of the sour taste, but smiled and said, "It's really delicious."

Soon, their baskets were filled with hawthorns.

Continuing walking forward, we found several wild date trees.

The dates are ripe, some are bright red and some are slightly yellow.

Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "This jujube tree is a treasure. The jujubes are nutritious and can be dried and stored."

Everyone took sickles to hook down the branches of the jujube tree and started picking the dates.

Walking a little further, they were surprised to see a clump of kiwi vines.

The furry kiwis hang on the vines, like little eggs.

Wang Hexiang said excitedly: "I heard that this kiwi fruit is very nutritious."

Everyone quickly picked some and put them in the basket.

Then they found a few hickory trees not far away.

The pecans, still with their green skins, hung on the branches. Aunt Zhao said, "These pecans are really good. Once they're dried and cracked open, the kernel inside is fragrant and crispy."

The women happily picked all the hickory nuts they could find.

Pecans are a good thing, so Su Panpan picked some more.

After picking these wild fruits, they saw some wild grapes.

Wang Hexiang said with emotion, "There are so many wild fruits on this mountain. We really made the right choice today."

Lin Xiu'e nodded and said, "Yes."

As time went on, the women's baskets and sacks were filled to the brim.

Just when they were in high spirits, they suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from not far away.

The women suddenly became nervous and looked at each other. Lin Xiu'e was timid and her voice trembled a little: "Is there some wild animal?"

Su Panpan also nervously held on to the backpack.

Aunt Zhao was experienced after all, and she said calmly, "Don't panic, let's take a look at the situation first."

They looked cautiously in the direction of the sound and saw a wild boar emerging from the bushes.

When the wild boar saw them, it stopped and stared at them warily.

The women were so frightened that they dared not breathe and their hearts were in their throats.

Aunt Zhao said softly, "Everyone, step back slowly and don't provoke it."

They retreated slowly, but the wild boar suddenly became aggressive and rushed towards them.

The wild boar chased relentlessly and was about to catch up with Lin Xiu'e.

At the critical moment, Aunt Zhao picked up a bamboo stick and waved it at the wild boar, trying to divert its attention.

The wild boar was enraged and turned to rush towards Aunt Zhao.

Wang Hexiang threw stones at the wild boar.

Su Panpan also poked the wild boar's butt with a stick.

Su Panpan looked at the wild boar, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes. She suddenly thought of a way that might be able to resolve this crisis.

Su Panpan continued to poke the wild boar's butt with the bamboo stick, while cautiously backing away, guiding the wild boar to turn towards the slope.

Sure enough, the boar turned and attacked her, running recklessly.

When the wild boar rushed to the slope, Su Panpan used the bamboo pole as support and turned around and jumped to the side.

The wild boar was moving too fast and the car failed to brake. Due to inertia, the wild boar lost its balance and rolled all the way down.

With a dull thud, the wild boar fell heavily to the ground.

After this scare, the women were still frightened.

Fortunately, Panpan was here, otherwise I don’t dare to imagine what would have happened.
