Chapter 29

Inside the Sihe Academy.

Those in the courtyard who weren't at work were still discussing Jia Dongxu.

"Do you think the little worm between Jia Dongxu's legs will satisfy his future wife?"

Married women discussed topics without any taboos.

Wuwuwu!

The wind was getting stronger.

"It's about to rain."

The Third Aunt looked up at the sky; the dark clouds were heavy, and there might be a big rainstorm soon.

"By the way, this morning, Wan Ping'an went hunting; do you think he can catch any prey?"

A First Aunt looked toward the backyard.

"Catching wild ducks is one thing, but hunting—I estimate it's tough."

"Look, it's about to rain; I don't know if he can catch any prey, but he'll definitely be soaked into a drowned rat by the rain."

"Right, he'll definitely become a drowned rat."

The crowd burst into laughter.

In an era lacking entertainment, the most common and universal form of entertainment was gossiping together, and the more they talked, the more boundless it became.

"Look..."

The Third Aunt pointed at the gate.

Everyone looked, and they were all dumbfounded.

Wan Ping'an was back.

In his left hand, he carried three pheasants, and in his right hand, he also carried three pheasants.

On his back, he carried seven rabbits.

An absolute big harvest!

"Ping'an, are these pheasants and rabbits all your prey?"

The Third Aunt couldn't quite believe it.

"Yes!"

"My first time hunting, I didn't find any large prey, so I just used pheasants and rabbits to make up the numbers."

Wan Ping'an smiled and nodded, returning to the backyard.

The aunts looked at each other; was this human talk?

Such fat pheasants, such fat rabbits—were they just used to make up the numbers?

"Even if you eat meat every day, you could eat for half a month, right?"

"One pheasant a day, or one rabbit a day, eating meat every day—it's just too happy."

"Sigh, when can we eat meat every day?"

The group caught "red-eye disease" (jealousy).

The aunts no longer had the mood to chat, their minds filled with the pheasants and rabbits Wan Ping'an had brought back.

Middle courtyard.

The Jia family.

"You little brat, tell me, where did your clothes and shoes go?"

Jia Zhang was furious.

A few days ago, Jia Dongxu had just lost one shoe.

She had scolded Jia Dongxu.

She never expected Jia Dongxu to learn to go from bad to worse.

This time he lost both shoes, and even lost his clothes, coming back naked, and all the aunts in the courtyard saw it.

"Mom, don't ask."

Jia Dongxu didn't want to say; it was too embarrassing.

"Are you going to say it or not?"

Jia Zhang glared.

The feather duster in her hand slapped onto the table with a crisp sound.

Jia Dongxu shivered.

He had experienced the feeling of the feather duster hitting his body; it was like being cut by a knife.

"Mom, don't be anxious, I'll tell you, okay?"

"Wait a moment, let me close the door."

Jia Dongxu chickened out.

He was afraid the neighbors would hear and laugh at him.

He checked if anyone was outside the door, confirmed there wasn't, and closed the door.

"Mom, it's all Wan Ping'an's fault."

"I went to his land to take two tomatoes, and he dared to blackmail me for eighty yuan."

"I wasn't convinced, so I planned to burn the rice he planted."

"I didn't expect that bastard to be so cunning; he raised a large black dog, a very large black dog, that chased me and bit me the whole way."

"My clothes were torn by the large black dog, and I lost my shoes."

Jia Dongxu told the truth.

If he didn't tell the truth, Jia Zhang would definitely give him a "feather duster stir-fry."

"Jia Dongxu, are you really my son?"

"I'm so smart, how can you be so stupid?"

"Couldn't you have used some rat poison to poison the large black dog to death?"

"You're really stupid to death."

Jia Zhang was very annoyed.

Jia Dongxu's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh—that's right!

"Mom, give me money, I'll buy some rat poison, I must poison the large black dog to death."

Jia Dongxu wanted revenge.

Slap!

Jia Zhang slapped him on the head.

"I said you were stupid, and you didn't believe me."

"Such a large black dog, if you poison it to death, what a pity!"

"You should find a way to kill it and bring it back to eat dog meat; why can't you use your brain more?"

Jia Zhang was very disappointed.

"Mom, you're my mom; no matter how smart I am, I can't compare to you, otherwise how could you be my mom?"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely bring the dog back and use the dog meat to honor you."

Jia Dongxu started flattering her.

Jia Zhang nodded, a smile appearing on her face, very pleased.

While the two were talking, there was a commotion outside.

"What happened?"

Jia Zhang walked to the window to look out.

Just then.

She saw Ping'an carrying pheasants and rabbits, passing by the Jia family's door.

"So many pheasants?"

"So many rabbits?"

Jia Zhang's eyes turned red.

She thought Wan Ping'an would return empty-handed, but he had a big harvest.

She would never have guessed that the pheasants and rabbits on the surface were only a small part of the prey; most of the prey was placed in Wan Ping'an's space.

He brought some back on the surface just to tell the animals that he had succeeded in hunting.

The meat he ate was all from hunting!

Otherwise.

With the nature of these animals, they would definitely go and report him.

"Damn Wan Ping'an!"

Jia Dongxu also crowded to the window, staring at Wan Ping'an with gloomy eyes.

He hated Wan Ping'an.

The better Wan Ping'an lived, the angrier he became.

"Wan Ping'an caught so much prey, he definitely can't eat it all by himself; go, ask him for a pheasant and a rabbit."

Jia Zhang urged him.

"What?"

"Mom, better not go."

Jia Dongxu shook his head.

He also wanted to eat pheasant and rabbit.

But he knew very well that given the relationship between Wan Ping'an and the Jia family, let alone meat, he wouldn't even give a hair, and would probably beat him up instead.

"Useless thing."

"I think you're afraid of Wan Ping'an."

"Hmph, it seems I have to go myself."

Jia Zhang glared at Jia Dongxu, pushed the door open, and headed straight for the backyard.

When Wan Ping'an arrived home, he saw the Deaf Old Lady walking in the courtyard.

The Deaf Old Lady saw Wan Ping'an bring back many pheasants and rabbits, her eyes turned red, she also wanted to eat, and then she felt a burst of annoyance.

"This damn little brat, he got so much meat again."
