The news that Lin Mo had killed a wild boar weighing several hundred pounds quickly spread throughout the entire team.

The escorts also received the news.

Xiao Liu swallowed hard. "She can kill even a wild boar."

If this person were to hit someone, wouldn't one or two punches be enough to send them to their death?

This woman is not to be trifled with!

very scary!

Old Wei's lips curled slightly. "So, don't mess with her."

"You'll regret messing with her."

After saying that, he glanced meaningfully at Qian Zhengchang, who was standing not far away with a pale face.

Unfortunately, Qian Zhengchang kept his head down, and no one could tell what he was thinking.

Xiao Liu nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, I will definitely stay far away from her. Survival is the most important thing."

Then he looked at Lao Wei with eager eyes:

"Brother Wei, I haven't had meat in so long, can I...?"

"No."

Old Wei glanced at him. "Didn't I tell you not to mess with her?"

……

Lin Shuo and the others' eyes lit up when they saw the wild boar that Xu Pinggui and his men had put on the ground.

"Sis, you're amazing."

"Yes, young mistress, you're amazing! You actually brought back a wild boar." Xu Dapeng was also very excited.

Lin Mo waved her hand dismissively, looking modest, "It was an accident."

She was thinking of eating roasted rabbit, but who knew that this wild boar would come to her doorstep? She would feel guilty if she didn't eat it.

"Boil water, slaughter the pig!"

……

The Xu family members began to get busy.

Lin Mo ignored them, turned around and went to the carriage to check on her mother. After confirming that she was alright, she got off the carriage.

Just then, Li Ping walked over looking uncomfortable:

“Mrs. Xu, may I ask if you could sell me some of this pork? My children and the elderly are craving some meat.”

Seeing Lin Mo looking at him, he was startled and quickly shook his head:

"If you don't want to, that's fine too. I was just asking."

After saying that, he immediately tried to leave in a panic.

That's true. People are short of food and water these days. Who would want to sell the game they've finally managed to hunt?

"Wait a minute," Lin Mo called out to her.

Li Ping turned around, her eyes filled with trepidation and unease.

This look...

Lin Mo was speechless. Would she eat people?

Lin Mo glanced at the wild boar that had been split in two beside her, made a mental calculation, and then looked up:

"I can buy two pounds of your meat."

"Really...really?" Li Ping asked, her face beaming with joy.

"How much? I'll pay you."

They're already asking for money, but these days, even if you have money, you might not be able to buy food.

She was already incredibly kind of her to sell it to me.

"Twenty coins a pound," Lin Mo quoted a price.

She didn't want to make money, but she wouldn't give it away for free either.

Sheng Mien, fight against Mien.

If you give it to someone for free, you might end up making them resentful, and they'll likely get used to you giving things away for free in the future.

Seeing her wide eyes, Lin Mo frowned:

"Too expensive?"

The meat you buy in the town outside costs this much.

"No, it's cheaper than advertised." Li Ping quickly shook her head, then looked a little embarrassed.

“If you want one or two taels of silver per catty, I will pay for it.”

It's her lifeline; no matter how expensive, she has to buy it.

"No need, just twenty coins, but that'll only buy you two jin." Lin Mo shook her head.

Just then, onlookers rushed over, all wanting to sell their meat.

Lin Mo did not show favoritism.

Each household can only buy two catties, and the price is 20 coins per catty.

Let them line up for what they want.

There were nearly a hundred households in this exile group.

Two jin per household, that's almost two hundred jin gone.

After removing the internal organs, there isn't much meat left.

Lin Mo asked Granny Qin and the others to clean the pig offal, as they would be eating that tonight.

Then he had Xu Pingan cut off both pig hind legs.

Then, she mentioned one of them and sent it to Lao Wei and the others.

This scene made everyone around them envious.

After Lin Mo left, Xiao Liuzi looked at the pig's hind leg and almost drooled.

He looked at Lao Wei:

"Master Wei, you didn't let me ask for it earlier because you knew she would send it, right?"

This pig's hind leg weighs at least 20 jin (10 kg).

We made a profit!

Old Wei's lips curled slightly:

"Little Liu, you should learn from this."

Lin Mo was a smart woman who knew the saying, "He who takes a man's money is bound to him."

She brought over delicious food several times.

These days, which of these escorts doesn't have a deep impression of her and doesn't give her some face?

Old Wei glanced at the people gathered not far away, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.

As long as there's food, that's your mother.

The hearts of these people have been unknowingly won over by the Xu family.

……

Han Yulong stood in line awkwardly, but in her heart she was cursing Lin Mo to death.

Hmph, what's so great about it?

Vulgar, barbaric, immoral, and lacking in manners.

She killed a wild boar but didn't even offer the meat to her grandfather.

Although she inwardly despised it, she couldn't help but feel anxious as she saw the meat dwindling.

It won't be over by her time, will it?

After finally getting to her turn, before Xu Pinggui could even cut the meat, she pointed to the pig's hind leg next to her:

"I'll take the whole pig's hind leg."

Such a big piece of meat, if cooked into one meal, she could get tired of eating it.

Two meals are enough to fill your stomach.

Three meals a day, and you can eat quite a lot.

well.

Xu Pinggui looked disgusted and pointed to the remaining items beside him:

"That pig's hind leg is not for sale."

For the rest, see which part you want, and I'll cut it for you.

Treat everyone equally, two jin.

Upon hearing this, Han Yulong's eyes widened in disbelief:

"With so many people in my Han family, how many people can eat two pounds of meat?"

Furthermore, my Han family is related to the Xu family by marriage. I didn't even ask you to offer meat to my grandfather; instead, I paid for it myself. I've already been more than generous.

"I don't care, I just want this pig's hind leg."

Xu Pinggui laughed, his eyes filled with disdain:

"If you're mentally ill, go see Dr. Mu."

Have you already forgotten about something that happened just a few days ago?

The Xu and Han families have severed ties and will never have any contact with each other again.

Han Yulong blushed, “…My Han family did not agree.”

"What does it matter to us if we disagree?" Xu Pinggui said dismissively.

"If you don't want to buy, move aside and don't block others. Next one."

Those who had been waiting impatiently stepped forward and shoved Han Yulong aside.

If you don't want to buy it, don't get in the way.

"Get out of my way, don't block my way from buying meat! I'm starving and craving it so badly, I want this piece!"

Han Yulong was furious.

She shoved the other person away, "Push me? I was here first, what right do you have to push me?"

Also, did I say I wasn't going to buy it?

"You..." The other person was too lazy to argue with her, gritting their teeth:

"Okay, you buy it."

Han Yulong glared at him, angrily ordered Xu Pinggui to cut two catties of meat, threw down the money, and stormed off.

Back at their Han family camp, the story was embellished once more.

Xu Pinggui shook his head and continued cutting and selling meat.

Those who managed to buy meat rushed back to their camps and started fires to cook it.

At this moment, what is more important than eating meat or filling one's stomach?

Soon, the air above the camp was filled with the aroma of meat and the sound of slurping.

"Young Madam, there's only this left," Xu Pinggui called out to Lin Mo, who was cooking pork offal soup not far away.

Lin Mo got up and took a look.

There wasn't much left: a pig's hind leg, a pig's head, three pig's trotters, and a pile of bones that looked like they had no meat left.

Lin Mo was satisfied.

These things will allow them to get through the next two or three days.

Lin Mo noticed the pile of bones that had been completely removed.

Tomorrow, I'll cook several large pots of soup, one bowl for each person. It'll be good for a smooth journey and can help win people's hearts.

Lin Mo smiled slightly.

The journey is fraught with uncertainty, and we always need the support of some people.

After Xu Pinggui chopped the bones, the rest was left alone.

In this cold weather, it won't spoil even if it's not pickled or dried.

That night, everyone drank soup and ate meat with satisfaction, and their faces were filled with a contented smile.

While everyone was immersed in this satisfaction, Zhao Tong sat in the darkness, watching everything with cold eyes.

Why are they all alive and well, while her son lost his life?

Resentment and hatred flickered in her eyes.

It was because they refused to help that her son got into trouble.

How can they still laugh?

“Zhao Tong!” Madam Han slowly walked to her side and sat down next to her:

"Doesn't it feel jarring to see their bright smiles?"

Zhao Tong stared at her with cold, sinister eyes:

"roll."

Don't think you don't know why she came—to sow discord.

Madam Han did not leave, but shook her head:

"Zhao Tong, don't you want to avenge your son?"

When your son is asleep at night, does he call out to you in his sleep, saying he is cold and wants you to avenge him?

Are you really willing to watch your enemy get better and better off?

Zhao Tong's face turned pale, and her body swayed slightly.

Madam Han sighed, "Zhao Tong, we have a common enemy."

"I have a way to help you get revenge, it just depends on whether you dare!"

Zhao Tong didn't speak, but a discordant female voice rang out beside her:

"I dare!"
