Shocking! In this matriarchal society, every man wants to marry me!

When Nakata pushed the door open and came in, he wasn't very surprised to see that the person on the bed was awake. Judging by the time, it was about time for him to wake up.

Nakata didn't want to be too enthusiastic towards a stranger, so he said in a detached tone, "Now that you're awake, you should leave."

In matriarchal societies, men are not responsible for supporting their families. In other words, he needs her to support him, but she is unwilling to do so. Besides, she is currently in a very difficult situation.

After waiting in the cornfield for a while, she heard a noise – the sound of a wild boar falling into a trap.

She didn't rush to approach, but waited until the wild boar had exhausted its strength before piercing its eye with an arrow.

This wild boar was quite resilient. She waited quietly for the boar to bleed out slowly until it was on the verge of death before she stepped forward, picked up a huge rock, and smashed it hard against the boar's head!

The wild boar was smashed so hard that blood splattered everywhere, and flesh and blood flew off the ground!

Unsurprisingly, she was covered in blood and gore, with fresh blood still clinging to her body. Moreover, she hadn't brought any tools with her, so she couldn't handle such a large wild boar and had to carry it on her back. It's easy to imagine how disheveled she must have been.

Xia Jin'an's pupils contracted sharply. He was somewhat panicked. He wondered if the woman who had saved him in the forest was the same person in front of him who was so rude and cold-faced.

But after glancing at the medicine in the corner, he had no more doubts.

He got out of bed and performed a proper male greeting with clasped hands.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, young lady."

Zhongtian glanced at the man and said, "It's just a good deed. I think you're almost better, so hurry up and leave. Don't cause me any trouble."

Xia Jin would feel ashamed and indignant if a woman constantly looked down on a man and tried to drive him away, but he couldn't leave.

His mind raced, his expression shifting between red and white, before he finally made up his mind.

She raised her eyes, her upturned fox-like eyes holding a hint of teasing. "I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know gratitude. If you're willing to take me in, I'm willing to make your bed and warm your quilt." His words were full of suggestive meaning.

Zhongtian placed the dead wild boar on the ground with a thud. She smelled the nauseating odor on herself and shook her head in disgust.

Matriarchal societies are very strange; the women are strange, but the men are even stranger.

Zhongtian sat down on the stool, looked up at the strange man, and said, "First, I only brought you home and called a doctor for you. Any kind-hearted person would do that; it's not a great favor. Second, you've seen where I live; I can't even support myself, let alone you. Third, you don't know if I'm married, yet you offer yourself to me. Do you want to be my mistress?"

Xia Jin listened quietly. He was still a little dizzy and unsteady on his feet, but he felt more and more at ease.

He must have met a good person, a gentle, young woman who had not yet been corrupted by wine, women, wealth, and power.

She is neither greedy for money nor lustful, yet she is the easiest to manipulate.

His innocence was gone. He was stripped naked, and the servants groped him. In the eyes of the world, he should be ashamed and die to atone for his sins. But he did not want to die. He did not want to die with humiliation when he had done nothing wrong.

He stood there, like a pine tree: "You saved me. A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude, let alone a life-saving grace. My reputation is ruined, my name is infamous. How dare I hope to serve you? You can just treat me as a toy for your amusement. I can embroider, and I only need a bowl of porridge to live on. It won't cost me any money. Besides, I still owe you money for medicine. If I leave, I'll have no money left."

Zhongtian looked at him with surprise.

This is a handsome man, but also a vulnerable man, clinging to the last straw he can find, struggling to survive.

He was neither humble nor arrogant!

What would you do if I asked you to leave?

"I will find another person who can save me."

It's strange that he doesn't think about saving himself, but instead thinks about relying on others to save him. But that's fine too, since Nakata can't bear the burden of another person's life.

"I have to go out, and I hope you'll be gone when I come back."

Zhongtian carried the wild boar on his back again, but as he walked out of the room, he turned to the strange man and said, "Don't force yourself to do things that make you unhappy. You shouldn't be the kind of person who belittles yourself. Your hand is bleeding."

Xia Jin'an looked at his hands, his nails digging deep into his flesh. When he said he was a piece of trash, the humiliation spread throughout his body, and he couldn't feel the pain anymore. He didn't expect her to notice.

Zhongtian carried the wild boar down the mountain alone with great difficulty. The weather was too hot, and the boar would stink if left here. It would be better to hurry to the county government office to collect a reward.

The streets were bustling with people, and most people were too busy with their own affairs to notice others. But today, everyone's eyes were on the woman carrying the wild boar.

The woman appeared tall and slender, yet she effortlessly carried a wild boar that was far heavier than herself. The boar was smashed beyond recognition, adding a touch of terror to the broad daylight market.

The wild boar that was ravaging the crops was killed by Zhongtian. She had originally wanted to call a carriage, but she had no money. So she had to walk to the county government office, enduring the hardships of the village.

More and more people followed her, some even banging gongs and drums, and the man in the veil also curiously approached.

It was the day that Zhongtianshe died.

After finally arriving at the county government office, the yamen runners came out. One of the runners was a young woman in her early twenties, fair-skinned and clean-cut. When she saw Zhongtian coming, she greeted him politely.

Nakata forced a smile and called out, "Sir."

"My name is Fang Shilian. If you can put the wild boar down, this is your reward."

"it is good!"

When Zhongtian reached out to take the silver, Fang Shilian subtly avoided it. Zhongtian didn't care at all, and she also disliked herself. Fortunately, the silver was of the correct weight and looked quite pleasing.

Zhongtian still had a question in his mind: "Sir, what should we do with this wild boar?"

Fang Shilian was extremely surprised: "This wild boar has been wreaking havoc in the village, so naturally it should be left to bask in the sun for three days and then abandoned in the wild."

"Don't you want to eat?"

Fang Shilian gave her a strange look and said, "Brave warrior, you may not know this, but wild boar meat has a very strong, unpleasant smell and is not edible."

Yes, uncastrated pigs are smelly and stinky.

Zhongtian has been in this other world for a few days now. Perhaps because he is poor, he rarely eats meat, but he has seen that there is no pork on other people's tables, which means that there is no way to castrate pork in this world.

That's true. You have no grudge against pigs, so why would you want to kill one for no reason?

Zhongtian had some ideas in mind.

The wild boar gave birth to a litter of piglets. She had taken pity on them and didn't kill them all. Now, she could raise these little wild boars, turn them into domestic pigs, castrate them, and sell them. It would be a good way to make money.

With a plan to get rich in mind, I felt lighthearted and even walked faster.

Her good mood lasted until she saw the strange man waiting at the door. He hadn't left yet?!
