Of course, it wasn't because she loved her second aunt too much. She felt that her second uncle was simply worried that her second aunt would cause trouble or be deceived by her younger brother from her natal family, and that he had to compete with her to control the family's purse.

"My dad is really good compared to the dads of other children in the village." An Qiuxiang felt happy again, and the envy she had for her cousin disappeared.

There is a lot of food cooked in the evening, so it is more than enough to have An Qiuxiang.

Steamed spare ribs with fermented black beans should be a recipe from Ao Province. I don’t know how her father made it. An Xueyan took a bite and it tasted very good, with a bit of the flavor of their local dishes, probably because the fermented black beans were from here.

An Qiuxiang was amazed after taking one bite.

"Ah, this dish is delicious, even better than the ones in state-owned restaurants. Uncle San, you are really amazing. I admire you so much."

Come on, here comes someone to try to flatter her~

She still hurried to eat two more pieces...

"If you like it, eat more. You can come and eat it next time I make it." An Qingping is very tolerant to the younger generations in the family. He usually shares the things he buys from outside with them, so he doesn't mind letting his niece come to eat more meals.

"Wow, thank you, Third Uncle. You are truly the best Third Uncle in the world."

An Xueyan ate her whole meal listening to her cousin's admiring words about her father.

After dinner, An Qiuxiang went back to take a shower and came back again. She told her parents that she would sleep with Yanyan tonight.

Nowadays, it is common for children to sleep at other people's homes, and adults usually don't say anything.

However, An Qingping took advantage of the time when his daughter was alone to ask about what happened. His father had found out himself, so An Xueyan could only vaguely say that they wanted to exchange the prey for money, but she didn't say the specific amount, so she was fooled.

At around 11 o'clock in the evening, An Xueyan and her cousin sneaked out. The moment they opened the door, the man in the room opened his eyes and got up.

It was quiet all around in the middle of the night, with only the occasional croaking of frogs.

The moon had also hidden tonight. An Qiuxiang nervously hugged her cousin's arm and spoke to ease her fear, "Yan Yan, how much money do you think we can exchange this time?"

Although wild boars are not as valuable as domestic pigs, they are still real, and the meat on the black market without a ticket is definitely much more expensive than the normal market price.

An Xueyan paid attention to the road conditions and said, "There should be quite a few. You should think about where to hide them so that Second Aunt won't find them."

When An Qiuxiang mentioned this, her face instantly turned bitter, and she complained, "My mom really doesn't know how to respect people. I don't have any privacy in my room at all. The little pocket money I saved before was something I had to work hard to save."

An Xueyan...luckily she doesn't have a mother (?>?<?)

An Qiuxiang didn't need her to respond. She had a lot to say about her mother and continued to ramble on, "I don't know why she saves so much money. She usually doesn't spend money on food or clothes. She even refuses to buy face wipes when my dad asks her to.

Our family conditions are not bad, but I feel that our quality of life is the worst. If you hadn't said before that you wouldn't grow tall, and my dad hadn't said so, I would probably have to eat steamed bread every day..."

All along the way, the sound of An Qiuxiang chirping was heard, and An Xueyan would occasionally join in.

"Shh...Shh?" The secret signal came as they approached the agreed location.

The two sisters heard it. An Qiuxiang whispered in An Xueyan's ear: "It sounds like I need to pee at night."

An Xueyan nodded in agreement: "I think so too."

Shining the flashlight in the direction of the sound, I saw Li Hongbin squatting there with a man with his face covered.

Luckily, they had covered their faces before coming out and walked over to take a look at the man.

He looks tall and thin, with dark skin exposed outside. It is obvious that he works in the fields a lot, and his face cannot be seen clearly.

She didn't match the number with anyone she knew, but guessed that they were from the same group.

Li Hongbin stood up and introduced them: "Boss, this is the person I'm looking for. Others call him Li Er."

The name sounds fake and is too casual, but it's just a one-time transaction and there's no need to be too serious about it.

Li Er said in a hoarse voice, "I heard you have nine wild boars? What are you planning to sell them for?"

"What price does Brother Li plan to offer?" An Xueyan looked at him and asked.

"The market price of pork is 8 cents per pound, and I can buy the whole pig for 9 cents."

An Xueyan rejected it outright: "No, 1 yuan."

He added, "The market price is based on meat tickets. If you don't want tickets, you'll definitely pay double. My price is already very favorable."

Li Hongmei and An Qiuxiang's breathing became heavier. How much money will this time cost?

They became rich instantly. They had never seen so much money in their lives.

Seeing that Li Er remained silent, An Qiuxiang wanted to ask her cousin not to take one dollar, and that they would be fine with 6 cents, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything.

Li Er finally gave in. "One dollar is too much. You have to know that there is not that much meat after the pig is slaughtered. The most I can give is 7 cents."

"7 cents is too little, let's say 9 cents. Since we can get it once, there will definitely be more in the future. Let's just consider it as making friends."

"8 cents, no, I don't want it today."

"make a deal!"

After the price was agreed upon, the five members of Zhou Wang's family also came over. They had no objection to the price, mainly because they were all young and innocent, and did not have so many complicated thoughts.

The group went to the mountain again to carry all the wild boars down, and Li Er brought a helper to drive the cart.

An Xueyan took a look and although the ox cart was decorated, she still recognized it as the one belonging to the brigade.

Pretending not to know, he weighed the items on the spot and settled the money. The total amount sold was 1951.2 yuan. Li Er had a pretty big business and settled the money in one go.

She didn't know that this was exactly the money Li Er was going to use to purchase goods tomorrow, and it was also a coincidence that they had the right time today, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat so much meat by himself.

This money is all he has, he doesn't have any more.

They were anxious to get rid of the meat, and after the transaction, Li Er and the other man drove away.

It's really hard work.

"Now let's divide the money. 243.9 yuan each among the eight of us."

Zhou Wangjia was the first to object: "I don't agree with this division."

Everyone else looked at him, and he continued, "Sister Yan contributed the most this time. Without her, we wouldn't have caught so many, and we might not even have caught any. I suggest that you take half, and the rest can be split equally among the rest of us. What do you think?"

Ermao nodded in agreement and said, "I have no objection. This is what Sister Yan deserves."

An Xiaohu followed up by saying, "I have no objection either." He knew his own worth very well. He thought that if he went into the mountains alone, he would probably not get anything, let alone so much money.
