Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

Fang Xin was so scared she could hardly breathe. The tree wasn't big; it couldn't withstand a few more impacts. Below was a bottomless abyss; falling down would mean certain death.

Fang Yu didn't have time to comfort her. He took out a silenced pistol from his spatial storage, aligned it with the target, and pulled the trigger.

With a soft thud, the wild boar, which had been violently ramming the tree trunk, immediately collapsed and lay motionless.

At the same time, she picked up a stone and threw it, making it look as if the wild boar had been killed by her stone.

Fang Xin was too panicked to see anything clearly; all she knew was that the wild boar had fallen to the ground and died.

Fang Yu jogged over and softened her tone: "Xin'er, it's alright, you can come down now."

Fang Xin's dazed gaze slowly cleared, and with Fang Yu's encouragement, she trembled as she climbed down from the tree.

Fang Xin threw herself into Fang Yu's arms, unable to hold back her tears any longer.

Fang Yu gently patted her back to comfort her: "It's alright, it's okay now. Why did you come all the way to the deep mountains by yourself?"

Fang Xin sniffed and took out a package from her bosom, which was wrapped in a handkerchief.

Inside was an undamaged herb. Fang Xin said guiltily, "This is called Shuyu. The doctor said this herb can treat my sister's headache, but it can only be found deep in the mountains. I thought I would be fine if I was careful, but I didn't expect to encounter a wild boar."

As she spoke, Fang Xin smiled and moved the bundle of elm branches closer to Fang Yu: "Sister, with this medicine, your headache will definitely be cured."

Looking at the medicinal plant, Fang Yu felt a mix of emotions; it was a very unpleasant feeling.

He reached out and pinched Fang Xin's thin cheeks: "You silly girl, don't do such silly things again. I'm all better now."

"All done?" Fang Xin blinked, her eyes full of doubt.

Fang Yu gently pinched the bridge of her nose: "It's really healed. Let's go home first. Mother is very worried about us."

The wild boar wasn't big, but it still took the two sisters some effort to bring it down the mountain.

While tying the wild boar up with rope, Fang Yu used the brief interval to remove the bullet that had hit the boar.

On the way down the mountain, Fang Yu recounted in detail what had happened at home that morning...

"Xin'er, you've suffered so much for your sister since you were little, and now you're displaced because of me. Do you blame me?"

Fang Xin was panting heavily as she walked, but she couldn't suppress the upturned corners of her mouth.

She said excitedly, "This is such a wonderful thing! As long as I can be with my mother and sister, what does it matter if I end up on the streets?"

She chuckled again: "We've been eating at the Fang family's place for ages, but once we leave, we'll have meat to eat right away, hehe!"

Before they even reached their doorstep, Li came looking for them. When she saw the wild boar the two sisters were carrying back, she was shocked: "This...is a wild boar?"

"Mom, my sister killed this wild boar. Isn't that amazing?" Fang Xin said excitedly.

Madam Li quickly checked Fang Yu's body: "Yu'er, are you injured?"

After asking that question, she looked at Fang Xin and continued, "Xin'er, what about you?"

"Mother, we're alright!" the two sisters replied in unison.

Fang Xin wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Mom, let's go home first. Let's not let the Fang family see our wild boar, lest they find some other excuse to take it away."

Fang Xin accepted it quickly, probably because she had suffered too much in the Fang family over the years.

Hunting a wild boar is no small feat. They were spotted on their way back, and the news spread quickly, reaching Zhang's ears.

"What? Those two sisters can drive the wild boar back?" Zhang Shi believed it wholeheartedly, and she rushed over to see for herself.

Fang Yu had just finished washing her face and sat down, preparing to deal with the wild boar, when she heard Zhang's cursing voice coming from outside the door.

Fang Yu was about to stand up when Li Shi pressed her shoulder down: "Yu'er, you should rest well. Mother will go and see."

Before Zhang could knock, Li opened the door and asked in an unfamiliar tone, "What are you doing here?"

Zhang lowered her hand, which had been poised to knock, and put her hands on her hips. She looked around furtively at Li's back, and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "I heard you found a wild boar. It would be a waste to give you the meat. Hurry up and take it to us. Ping-ge is growing up."

Li's fingers tightened slightly as she gripped the doorframe, letting out a bitter laugh.

Fang Yu walked up from behind and sneered as well: "You've gotten used to letting us do whatever we want, and you've already forgotten how quickly you signed the severance agreement?"

"It's just a piece of paper, this old woman won't fall for your tricks!" Zhang said confidently, looking like she wouldn't give up until she got the wild boar.

Li frowned. After so many years of getting along, she knew Zhang's character all too well. If she didn't achieve her goal today, she wouldn't give up so easily.

"Okay." Fang Yu gestured for Li to step back from the doorway and let Zhang in.

Thinking that Fang Yu had compromised, Zhang stepped triumphantly across the threshold, her gleaming eyes immediately spotting the wild boar roaming in the dilapidated courtyard.

The next moment, Fang Yu's leisurely voice came from behind: "Breakfast robbery, perfect for taking it to court."

...The smugness on Zhang's face vanished instantly, and a strange intuition suddenly arose in her heart. Especially when she looked into Fang Yu's calm and unwavering eyes, she could feel that if she took the wild boar for herself, that brat Fang Yu would definitely make a scene in the government.

That place, where people devour each other without spitting out the bones, is not a place where people like them, who toil in the fields, could ever set foot.

Fang Yu's cold glare suddenly made Zhang's heart pound.

Li opened the door a little, still remembering their past relationship: "We have already left the Fang family as you wished, so why press us further? We won't keep you any longer."

Zhang was kicked out just like that. It took her a long time to come to her senses, and she started cursing loudly at the door.

"You little slut!..."

The door opened again, and Fang Yu's slightly furrowed brows revealed her displeasure. She coldly uttered a single word: "Get out—"

Fang Xin changed her clothes and ran out: "Mother, sister, who just came?"

Fang Yu put on a sweet smile and put her arm around her shoulder: "It's just a mad dog that can't understand human language and can only bark and howl. Let's go, let's slaughter the pig and eat meat."

Looking at the wild boar, the family of three was at a loss.

They were hurriedly kicked out with nothing, not even a pot to cook for dinner.

He didn't even have a single penny on him.

Fang Yu had plenty of knives in his storage space, but he couldn't explain taking them out rashly to his mother and sister.

Fang Xin swallowed hard and said reluctantly, "Mother, sister, why don't we take this wild boar to Qingshan City to sell? It'll help supplement our household income."

Looking at the empty courtyard, the three remained silent, each lost in their own thoughts.

Finally, Fang Yu spoke up: "Then let's send them to the city to sell, and use the money to buy some more meat."
