In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

Wang Wu trembled at his mother's scolding.

He thought to himself: Two bundles of firewood! My mother actually scolded him for bringing back two bundles of firewood in the whole morning?

You know, this was his workload for the previous day, and today his mother actually said that he did not do enough?

No...it was because the bundle of firewood was brought here too quickly that my mother discovered something.

Thinking of this, he looked at Shen Qian's back in panic.

Seeing that his mother had walked several meters away, he quickly pushed the cart and followed her, fearing that his mother would not allow him to eat dinner.

The feeling of being hungry is really uncomfortable.

But after following Shen Qian for a while, Wang Wu always felt uneasy.

He pushed the cart and ran to Shen Qian to clear the way!

Walking in front, his restless heart finally felt a sense of security.

Shen Qian looked at the third brother who took the initiative to run ahead of her and smiled in her heart:

Isn't this quite powerful? My body isn't shaking anymore, and my back is straight!

It's ridiculous that in my previous life I was deceived by his weak appearance for several months. All the heavy work was left on me, and I lost several pounds of weight due to exhaustion.

In years of famine, people who are truly starving are all skinny. How could they have a layer of fat on their stomachs like them?

It's just that he knows how to pretend and he also happened to be blind in his previous life...

Just wait, the days that will terrify you are still to come! If you can’t be a good mother yourself, how can you be a wicked mother?

Wang Wu, who was walking in front, seemed to feel Shen Qian's scrutiny, and his heart tightened, cursing inwardly:

Big brother, big brother!

You're going to kill me!

It's all your fault for giving me this way to escape death. If my mother keeps denying me food from now on, I will starve to death!

It takes about half an hour to walk up the mountain road.

Shen Qian finally found the bush. Deep in the bush, stood an ancient tree that was twice as thick as a human waist.

If memory serves me correctly, the twins Wang You and Wang Liang saw the wild boar that had been killed under a tree in this bush!

I just hope that the wild boar is still there!

"stop!"

"Go check in the bushes!" Shen Qian shouted at the third brother in an imperative tone.

Seeing this, Wang Wu quickly put the cart away and then went into the bushes, fearing that he would be scolded if he was slow. After all, the terrifying look of his mother when she was angry was engraved deep in his memory since he was a child.

As soon as he entered the bushes, a cry of surprise came out of his throat:

"ah!"

"Mom!"

"Come and see, there's a dead wild boar here!"

Hearing the third brother's cheers, Shen Qian also breathed a sigh of relief.

I remember the location correctly, and the wild boar has not been taken away yet.

"Push the cart over here, we'll move the wild boar onto it!" Before Shen Qian finished her words, Wang Wu had already pushed the cart into the bushes!

With the combined efforts of two people, they actually managed to move the wild boar weighing hundreds of kilograms onto the cart!

The wooden wheels of the cart were visibly pressed into the ground two inches.

But Wang Wu pushed such a heavy wild boar down the mountain without any complaints, and his face was filled with happiness.

On the way, after seeing the fat wild boar, some villagers started to think about what would happen to Shen Qian!

They came forward and started talking:

"Wang Shenshi, did you guys kill this wild boar in the mountains? Why haven't I heard that your third son has this ability before?"

"Your family can't eat this big wild boar, right? It's too much trouble to sell it in town. Why not sell it in the village?"

"My fellow villagers, the autumn harvest is almost here, and we're planning to go to town to buy some meat. Let's sell it in the village, and we'll definitely give you a better price!"

"..."

Shen Qian smiled and agreed to everything the aunties she met said. After all, when fleeing famine, most of the time they still had to rely on the collective strength of the village. There was no harm in making friends with them at this time!

"Then let's go to his uncle Erhu's house. Doesn't his uncle Erhu know how to butcher pigs?"

"This wild boar was slaughtered and sold in the village!"

After receiving Shen Qian's reply, the women went home contentedly.

He took the meat container and went straight to Wang Erhu's house.

The news that Wang Shenshi and her third son Wang Wu had killed a wild boar in the mountains spread quickly throughout Wangjia Village through the mouths of these women!

Dozens of women surrounded Wang Erhu's house.

Wang Erhu, the person Shen Qian asked to butcher a pig, walked out of his house in bewilderment.

"What... happened?"

"Is anyone coming to my place to slaughter a pig?"

Looking at Wang Erhu's confused expression.

The nosy aunts in the village started teasing:

"Didn't I hear that you're still single? Come over and see me!"

"I've heard that Cuihua from the next village is incredibly beautiful, and she's nearly twenty and still unmarried. Would you consider staying with her?"

"Yes! Cuihua's family only has a blind old lady left, so marrying her would be much easier!"

"..."

Hearing the aunts' teasing, Wang Erhu's face turned red instantly!

Everyone in the surrounding area knows Zhang Cuihua's name!

Not only was she ugly, she also lost her virginity at the age of fourteen, which angered her father to death and her mother blind.

No matter how poor his family is, he will never marry such a fickle and ugly woman!

Faced with the teasing of the aunts, he did not dare to lose his temper on the spot. If he angered these aunts, those gossipers might spread rumors about him, and then it would be more difficult for him to find a wife.

I can only silently remember what those nagging aunts said.

......

On the mountain where Wangjia Village belongs.

The twins from Shen Qian's family were so excited that they carried sacks and walked around the mountain, fearing that someone was following them!

Returning to the familiar bushes, they looked around cautiously to make sure no one was following them.

The sixth Wang Liang urged anxiously:

"Brother You, quickly cut it up. We'll each carry half home and hide it behind the house. We'll go to town and sell it tomorrow morning!"

"This time, we two can make a fortune!"

As he was speaking, Wang You, who had gone into the bushes ahead, suddenly let out a startled cry:

"Hey!"

"What's wrong, brother!" The sixth brother Wang Liang heard the cry and anxiously dived into the bushes.

After seeing Wang You kneeling on the ground in the bushes, he looked confused.

Wang You's distraught voice uttered, his words filled with frustration at his dashed hopes for a better life in the coming months:

"Wild boar, gone!"

"It was here before, such a big wild boar, it's gone!"

Wang Liang finally reacted after seeing this, and the sound of slaughtering a pig came out of his mouth!

"damned!"

"Who stole our wild boar?"

After a while, the two searched everywhere around them, but found no trace of any large creatures.

They lay on the ground like two salted fish.

After calming down.

The excellent duo began to search around again.

Soon, the mark of a cart wheel on the road leading down the mountain caught their eyes.

After some analysis, the traces of wheel crushing were definitely the most recent!

"Push the cart! Damn it! Someone took advantage of the time we took a detour up the mountain and pushed a cart down from the bottom of the mountain and stole the wild boar!"

"Find him, this wild boar must come back!"

"This is our breakfast money for the next few months!" Wang You and Wang Liang spoke one after another, and they wished that the guy who stole the wild boar would be torn into pieces!

When the two stumbled back to the village.

I found that many aunts were running towards Uncle Erhu's house, holding containers in their hands. No need to ask, they were definitely going to get meat!

"Let's go! Let's follow and see who picked our peaches!" Wang You gritted his teeth and whispered to Wang Liang.

Seeing this, Wang Liang picked up a stone from the ground and followed Wang You closely, muttering fiercely:

"You're so bold as to steal from the grandfathers!"

"I'm going to make him look bad today!"
