Chapter 1022: Wild Boar Meat Repays a Favor

She quickened her pace toward the Ding Zhiqing point and happened to meet Fu Yanwan carrying a basin, just about to return to the dormitory: "Xiao Wan."

Hearing the familiar voice, Fu Yanwan turned and saw Liu Chuxue: "Fourth Sister-in-law, why have you come over?"

Liu Chuxue smiled and walked closer to her: "Tomorrow my sister's family is holding a full-month banquet for Junjun, so I came to deliver some extra dishes."

"Oh, I've been busy these past few days and haven't yet gone to see Sister Xia Qiu."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sun Juanjuan beside her slapped her forehead: "Look at my memory! Brother-in-law Qiu came to find you at noon, but you had gone to look for Ren Jiangfeng, so he asked me to pass a message to you. I, I, I forgot all about it. I'm truly sorry."

Seeing Sun Juanjuan's self-reproachful expression, Fu Yanwan said: "Enough, it's not your fault. We weren't working together this afternoon, so it's understandable that you forgot. It's fine."

Liu Chuxue took two fish out of her carrying basket: "Here, I saved two fish for you. Take them to the canteen to pay the processing fee; you can have an extra dish for dinner tonight."

Fu Yanwan did not take the fish but instead took hold of Liu Chuxue's arm: "Fourth Sister-in-law, you are too kind."

Seeing many people looking over, Liu Chuxue patted her hand: "Enough, you're grown up now; stop acting spoiled. Hurry and take the basin back to the dormitory. I'll wait here for you, and you can take the fish directly to the canteen."

Fu Yanwan naturally understood what her Fourth Sister-in-law meant: "Understood. Wait a moment for me; I'll be back very soon."

But Sun Juanjuan held the person back: "Enough, just give me your basin; you go to the canteen first."

The Northern Suburb Farm canteen had a dedicated small kitchen that processed ingredients brought by the Ding Zhiqing members. The processing fee was reasonable, and it had become an extra source of income for the canteen.

Fu Yanwan naturally would not refuse: "Alright then, thanks for your trouble, Juanjuan. I'll wait to eat fish tonight. But remember, these were sent by my Fourth Sister-in-law, so you must thank her."

Saying this, she pulled Liu Chuxue and walked out.

The two could only walk a few steps together before parting at the crossroads; Fu Yanwan was very reluctant to let go.

Liu Chuxue smiled: "Enough, hurry and go. If you're any later, you won't make it in time for the meal. I'll come again tomorrow, and we'll meet then."

Having finished speaking, she waved to her and quickly walked toward the small path.

After all, if she didn't leave now, she feared she would have to return home in the dark. Although the mountain road back to Willow Tree Village was on the outskirts, it was still within the mountains. Even with her formidable strength, one must always be cautious, right?

Just as she hurried along, nearly reaching the foot of the mountain, she heard Xiao Fu's shout: "Liu Chuxue."

And it wasn't just one person shouting. This was truly a disaster; returning home this time had even stirred everyone up to come into the mountains to find her.

While jogging down toward the foot of the mountain, she didn't forget to respond: "I'm here."

When she was not too far away, she released her spiritual sense and saw that accompanying her own father were Uncle Liangzi and his wife, the village head and his son, and Uncle Funián and his son from the Secretary's family.

This favor was now owed. Well, she transferred the previously unskinned, segmented wild boar into her carrying basket: "Dad, I'm here."

Hearing her voice, Xiao Fu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Why did you come back so late? You scared me to death."

"I went to my sister's place. I hurried as much as I could, but I'm still late. Sorry to have worried everyone."

"As long as you're safe, as long as you're safe."

After seeing his daughter clearly, Xiao Fu reached out to take her carrying basket.

Liu Chuxue refused: "It's a bit heavy; I'll just carry it myself."

After confirming no one else was around, she finally said: "I had good luck on the mountain today and encountered an injured wild boar. I gave some extra dishes to my sister, and there's still quite a bit left. Once everyone comes down the mountain later, we'll divide it up. You can't refuse."
