Chapter 327

"Do you know how hard it is for me to support this family?"

"Besides, it's not that I won't let you eat meat, it's that we're saving it for the New Year. This year we'll have two air-dried chickens for the New Year; we've never had such a prosperous New Year."

Yan Fugui reprimands Yan Jiecheng, teaching him the way of frugality.

Calculating all the time.

Calculating everywhere.

Yan Jiecheng is so sad he wants to cry.

It's even more miserable than what Wan Ping'an said; bringing home so much meat, he didn't even get to drink a mouthful of meat broth.

"Jiecheng, do you want to eat meat?"

Yan Fugui smiles.

He has thought of a good idea.

"Dad, did you change your mind?"

"Are we eating chicken or rabbit?"

Yan Jiecheng's eyes light up.

"Jiecheng, I've discovered that going into the mountains to hunt is a good idea."

"Every time you go into the mountains, you have such a harvest. Tomorrow I'll ask for leave, and the two of us will go into the mountains together; we'll definitely be able to catch even more."

Yan Fugui's eyes are shining.

Yan Jiecheng's face turns pale immediately. Remembering the three large wild boars charging, his legs went weak, he trembled into a ball, and he couldn't even stand up when he wanted to run.

It was too terrifying.

"Dad, are you trying to die?"

"Do you know how dangerous it is to go into the mountains to hunt?"

Yan Jiecheng's voice is trembling.

He describes the scene of the three wild boars charging at the time.

Yan Fugui remembers the two large wild boars he saw just now and cannot help but shiver.

Just looking at the long tusks, he can imagine how dangerous it was at the time.

"If it weren't for Brother Ping'an, I might not have come back."

"Going into the mountains to hunt is too dangerous. We are not professional hunters, and we don't have any hunting experience; we absolutely cannot just go into the mountains to hunt."

Yan Jiecheng hasn't fully recovered yet.

"We won't go."

Yan Fugui dismisses the idea.

Going into the mountains is so dangerous, he doesn't want to go to his death.

"By the way, go to the back courtyard right now and help out!"

Yan Fugui reacts.

He must build a good relationship with Wan Ping'an; only by building a good relationship can he obtain benefits.

When Yan Jiecheng arrives at the back courtyard.

Shazhu is scraping pig hair.

Many people are gathered around to watch the excitement.

Some children are picking up the pig hair on the ground to play with.

"Brother Ping'an, I'm here to help, what do you need me to do?"

Yan Jiecheng comes to Wan Ping'an.

"Just help clean up the hygiene in front of the door!"

Wan Ping'an nods.

When Shazhu processes the wild boars, there is a lot of filth; if it's not cleaned up in time, it will be stinky, and the smell will be—well, sour and refreshing!

Yan Jiecheng nods. Isn't it just cleaning?

Easy!

"Ping'an, is the wild boar meat for sale?"

Liu Haizhong is greedy.

Wan Ping'an nods.

He can't eat the meat of two large wild boars by himself.

Wild boar meat isn't very tasty either; it's a bit fibrous. It's fine to taste it for freshness, but in terms of texture, it's really not as good as the pigs raised at home—except for the ones raised by Cui!

Liu Haizhong is happy.

He is just waiting for Shazhu to finish processing it so he can buy meat to take home and eat.

Yan Fugui also follows to the back courtyard, which is very lively. Seeing Liu Haizhong wanting to buy meat, he looks at Liu Haizhong triumphantly; he doesn't need to buy meat!

Letting Yan Jiecheng go into the mountains with Wan Ping'an once resulted in a small wild boar, two wild chickens, and two wild rabbits—the harvest was too bountiful!

"Sigh, it's just too dangerous."

"Otherwise, we could completely go into the mountains to hunt ourselves!"

Yan Fugui sighs in his heart.

Liu Haizhong also sees Yan Fugui.

"Yan Fugui can let Yan Jiecheng go into the mountains with Wan Ping'an."

"I can also let Liu Guangqi go into the mountains with Wan Ping'an."

"Next time Wan Ping'an goes hunting, I'll let Liu Guangqi follow!"

Liu Haizhong thinks of a good way.

"Ping'an, can we go into the mountains to hunt with you?"

Someone finally cannot help but ask.

Two large wild boars, plus some wild chickens and wild rabbits—the bountiful harvest is too tempting!

Many people's eyes are red!

Shazhu also stops scraping pig hair, straightens up, and stares at Wan Ping'an!

"Want to go hunting in the mountains with me?"

"No problem!"

"However, there is one thing that must be stated in advance: you can follow me if you want, but if you encounter danger, you are responsible for your own life and death, and it has nothing to do with me!"

"Jiecheng, stop cleaning, come here and tell everyone about your hunting experience and thoughts!"

Wan Ping'an smiles.

Scare these animals to death!

"Do I really have to say it?"

Yan Jiecheng's face turns a bit pale.

He still hasn't recovered.

Facing the charge of three large wild boars, the tusks flashing with cold light, the mountain-like bodies, and the blood-red mouths—none of it failed to make him terrified.

Wan Ping'an nods.

Yan Jiecheng begins to tell the story.

At first, everyone is full of longing.

Later, hearing about the three large wild boars charging, and hearing that concentrated fire was useless, many people break out in cold sweat and no longer want to go hunting in the mountains!

"I remember, I have a relative in the countryside who went hunting in the mountains and encountered wild boars; he ended up with a crippled leg and barely saved his life."

"He set a rule for his son: if you're poor, don't go into the mountains; if you're starving, don't hunt."

Liu Haizhong's face is a bit pale.

If Yan Jiecheng hadn't told such a scary story, he wouldn't have remembered.

With Liu Haizhong personally appearing to speak, everyone retreats one after another; they don't want to go into the mountains anymore. They can't risk their lives for a meal of meat.

Middle courtyard.

Jia family.

Jia Zhangshi returns home from the back courtyard, cursing endlessly.

"Mom, can you stop cursing?"

Jia Dongxu finds it annoying to listen to.
