Chapter 1023: The Child's Sincere Intention, Don't Refuse It

As soon as she said this, everyone who had followed to find her sighed in relief.

Xiao Fu turned around, his face full of worry, and asked, "Are you hurt?"

Aunt Liangzi, walking behind her, quickly rushed to her front and started checking her up and down: "Did you get hurt anywhere? You girl are far too bold; that was a wild boar, you know?"

Liu Chuxue quickly explained, "That wild boar was already separated from the herd, not to mention it was injured. You all know I have considerable strength; I struck when it was off guard. Rest assured."

Aunt Liangzi patted her up and down, confirmed she was unharmed, and then patted her chest: "Don't take such risks again. Don't you remember the incidents of wild boars injuring people a few years ago?"

Even knowing she was fine, Xiao Fu was far from happy; he blamed himself in his heart for not going along.

The girl made it sound simple, but how could such a coincidence happen? He suspected she had gone to hunt the wild boar specifically to back up his eldest daughter and add a dish to the full-moon banquet for his grandson tomorrow; it was all his own fault for being useless.

Liu Chuxue kept her word; as they neared her home, she said, "Uncles and aunts, come to my house first to process this wild boar, and everyone can take some meat home."

Uncle Liangzi immediately refused, saying, "No need, no need. We didn't even climb the mountain, so how could we accept the meat you risked your life to hunt? It's getting late; we'll head back first."

Liu Chuxue naturally couldn't let them leave like that: "Oh, even without today's incident, I wouldn't eat this wild boar alone; surely you wouldn't make me go to every house one by one to deliver it later?"

Xiao Fu spoke up at this moment: "It's the child's sincere intention; don't refuse her."

After exchanging glances, Aunt Liangzi took over the conversation: "Let one person from each family stay to help process the wild boar; the others go home first so their families don't worry."

Liu Chuxue smiled and said, "Auntie is right."

With words said to this extent, this was meat after all; although not as tender as domestic pig, wild boar meat, though tough, is fragrant.

The village head and the party secretary's son, Uncle Fuguo and Uncle Nian, both let their sons return home first since they hadn't finished chatting with Xiao Fu yet; as for Uncle Liangzi's family, naturally Aunt Liangzi left first, and she also agreed with Xiao Fu and her daughter to come to their house for dinner tonight.

All were skilled workers; once the hot water in the kitchen was boiled, several big men scooped it into buckets and carried it to the backyard.

Removing the hair from the already sectioned wild boar was even more laborious, so it took quite a bit of effort.

Before everyone had completely finished processing it, Liu Chuxue cut a large piece of meat and sent it to Aunt Liangzi: "Auntie, Uncle Liangzi said you'd work hard tonight to cook several dishes; the village head and Uncle Fuguo will also come for dinner later."

Aunt Liangzi was a hospitable person, with no hint of difficulty on her face: "No problem; Auntie had already prepared plenty of dishes, and with all this meat you sent, I'll definitely make them eat happily."

Liu Chuxue smiled and said, "I'll be your assistant."

Aunt Liangzi raised her arm to stop her: "You still have a pile of things at home; let Cunyi help me here. Hurry home to tidy up; you have to go to your sister's place tomorrow."

Liu Chuxue accepted Aunt Liangzi's kindness: "Then I'll trouble Brother Cunyi."

Aunt Liangzi was a straightforward person, smiling broadly: "With so much meat hanging there, he'll definitely be willing."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Cunyi's voice came: "Mom, who are you talking about?"

Aunt Liangzi glared at her youngest son: "Who else but you? Hurry over and help."

After greeting Liu Chuxue, Liu Cunyi saw the meat laid out on the cutting board: "Where did this meat come from, and why so much?"

Aunt Liangzi looked at Liu Chuxue: "See what I said? Rest assured; hurry and get busy."

Liu Chuxue smiled: "Alright, then I'll head back first."
