The soft, cuddly little girl's words melted Ling Silang's heart, and he even thought that his future daughter with Du Mingxian would be even more affectionate.

Du Mingxian had no idea that Ling Silang was already thinking about their child. Since her mother moved to the county, she had only visited once, and she was still somewhat worried.

We've been eating a lot of pork at home lately, and some of it has been given away, but we still have quite a bit left. However, since it's hot in the summer, my mother has told us to use salt to cure it.

Du Mingxian wanted to prepare some fresh game for her mother.

So after breakfast, she carried a large basket on her back and headed into the mountains. The rest of her family was off today. She had been busy for several days in a row, and although she was eating well, her body was still a little exhausted.

As Du Mingxian traveled, she thought about hunting more wild game. If she couldn't find any, she would take out what she had in her spatial storage.

She didn't know if it was because she left the Du family, but she was incredibly lucky, getting wild rabbits, pheasants, and even a wild duck.

Those that weren't killed were thrown into the spatial storage, while those that were killed were put directly into the spatial storage and will be put into the basket on the way down the mountain to be eaten at home.

Thinking of the spiritual spring water in her space, she found a slightly open area, took out a basin from her space, and placed it on the ground. The basin contained spiritual spring water.

He then climbed directly into the tree, bow and arrow in hand, ready to hunt at any moment.

After waiting for half an hour without any movement, she began to doubt whether the trick she had read in the novel would work. Just as she was wondering whether she should honestly go looking for prey, she saw several wild goats running over.

Du Mingxian was pleasantly surprised. After the wild goats approached, she shot three of them with great speed. She didn't intend to kill the rest, but because of her previous actions, the remaining four immediately tried to run away after she shot them.

She quickly climbed down from the tree and began racing her prey.

She didn't kill the last four, but crippled them. She quickly put them into her spatial storage. Before she could even clean up the smell of blood, there was another commotion in the distance, so she immediately hid.

This time, two bison have arrived.

I was surprised to find wild oxen in the mountains. In ancient times, it was forbidden to kill oxen that were used for work, but there was no such rule for wild oxen.

Upon seeing the bison, Du Mingxian's mind was filled with beef recipes. She acted swiftly, pulling out her gun and firing two shots. Without a sound, the bison collapsed before even drinking the enchanting spring water that had captivated them, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Du Mingxian stepped forward and directly put the bloodstains into her spatial dimension, cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground, then climbed the tree and entered her spatial dimension from there.

Having caught a few prey, she wasn't in a rush anymore. She decided to plant more chili peppers and soybeans in her space, and she could also hear the commotion outside.

Soon more animals arrived, but this time it wasn't just one species; there were leopards, tigers, and wolves.

The three animals came from three directions, each more wary than the last. The basin was in the middle, and for a time none of them could drink the water.

There were four leopards, three tigers, and four wolves.

For a moment, they were locked in a stalemate. Du Mingxian found it quite lively and even looked forward to them fighting. If one of them was accidentally bitten to death, could she take advantage of the situation?

A triple defeat isn't necessarily a bad thing.

She began to multitask, keeping an eye on the outside world while also keeping busy in her own space.

Then... the scene of fighting to the death that I had imagined did not occur. The three sides were wary of each other, and a tacit understanding was formed. Each side sent out one head, slowly stepped forward, and the three heads put into the basin to drink water together.

Du Mingxian slapped her forehead, realizing her mistake. The basin was too big; even with three heads inside, there was still plenty of space in the middle.

Thinking this, she simply left the space, drew her bow to its full extent, and shot at the edge of the basin.

None of the three parties were to be underestimated. The moment they sensed danger, they instantly retreated several steps and put on full defensive posture.

The arrow struck the basin with too much force, cracking it open and causing the spiritual water to trickle out and seep into the soil.

The three parties, who were just on guard against each other, now all bared their teeth at Du Mingxian and growled threateningly. Du Mingxian then flashed into the space.

There was water earlier, so things were a bit calmer. But now that there's no water, perhaps because the spiritual water was too tempting, a chaotic battle suddenly broke out.

Du Mingxian didn't go to farm; instead, she happily started watching the game, eating potato chips she had taken from her room.

Neither side would yield, and neither side would submit, so the final result was naturally a lose-lose situation, with Du Mingxian getting a huge windfall.

Fortunately, none of them died. She waved her hand and put them all into her spatial storage before descending the mountain.

Now that they had agreed to separate the family, the family members were already discussing how to build a house.

In the village, each house is quite far apart from the others, and the Du family has no neighbors around them. So, the four sons, Old Man Du, decided to build the four houses together.

Du Mingxian was a native of this ancient place and knew that the winters here were cold, but there were no heated brick beds, so people had to endure the cold on their own. So after thinking it over, she suggested building a heated brick bed or a heated wall, so that people could suffer less in the winter.

Ling's parents agreed with her suggestion. They considered that Ling Silang was most prone to illness in winter and rarely went out. If it were warmer, it would save them a lot of trouble.

Several families discussed it together, and Zhou Shi, who was also envious, turned to Ling Erlang and said, "Let's build a heated kang or a heated wall in our courtyard too, so that it will be more comfortable."

"to make."

With this idea in mind, the fourth branch also wanted to build it, while the eldest branch's Ling Dalang had his own ideas. However, Wang Shi coldly interrupted, "We won't build it. What can we do with so little money? We don't have as much money as the fourth branch and the others."

Everyone knew that Madam Wang was dissatisfied with the small amount of silver she received when the family divided, but no one spoke up, simply ignoring her sarcastic remarks.

Ling's mother looked displeased. She wanted to give her sons money, but not in the way her eldest daughter-in-law did. "Wang, if you are not satisfied with our division of the family, you can go back to the Wang family directly."

Madam Wang frowned. "Mother, what do you mean by this?"

“If you’re not satisfied, you can leave. My son can divorce his wife.”

Wang was shocked and frightened, and finally her anger flared up: "So now that the family has money, they don't want me, their daughter-in-law, anymore?"

“Did I mention Zhou and Liu, or Du? Why am I only talking about you? We didn’t care if you secretly took things to your family in the past, and we still won’t care if you want to give things to your family now that the family has separated. But if you dare to mistreat my son and grandson, see if my Ling family dares to go to the Wang family to demand an explanation.”

Wang was intimidated by Ling's mother's imposing manner; her mother-in-law had never spoken to her like that before.

Ling Dalang then stepped forward and said, "Mother, we don't need the heated kang bed or the heated wall. Just build me the simplest one."

“Since it’s a division of the family property, the buildings for you brothers will naturally be the same. There’s no need to argue about this.” Madam Ling glanced at Madam Wang, then looked at her eldest son. “After the division, please take good care of the children.”
