Chapter 36 Hunting Wild Boars

After setting a date for the roof-raising ceremony, Shen's father and Wang Cuifen planned to invite the villagers to a meal, as is customary in the village.

Jinran patted his chest and said, "Mother, you can rely on me for the meat. I'll go up the mountain to check on my traps in a bit."

Wang Cuifen dismissed it as bragging and ignored it.

Seeing her mother's expression, Jinran's competitive spirit surged up instantly. "Father, do you believe me?"

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Shen said with a heavy heart, "My daughter, I trust you when it comes to matters of the heart."

Jinran pouted; she was now a person without emotions.

The houses of my eldest uncle and second uncle were completed long ago. They only had a few rooms built, unlike Jinran's family, who had everything ready from the start.

When her aunt came to help, she looked at Jinran's house and felt a little envious. "Third brother's family, you must be rich. This house looks so spacious and bright. Unlike our family, when you don't have money, you have no confidence."

Wang Cuifen didn't even lift her eyelids, and said directly, "Then go back to your parents' house and borrow it!"

Auntie, "............" Why is she still so annoying?

"Third brother's wife, you work in the county, so how do you and your third brother live? Do you both live in dormitories?"

Wang Cuifen said in a nonchalant tone, "The two of us have a small private room. It's small, but we eat in the cafeteria, so we don't have to cook for ourselves."

The eldest aunt was so jealous her mouth almost twisted into a crook, and she said with an awkward laugh, "That really saves trouble."

My second aunt didn't say a word; she just kept her head down and worked.

Jinran couldn't stand the atmosphere, so she said, "Mother, I'm going up the mountain to check the traps. If I find anything, we can add another dish tomorrow."

Wang Cuifen nodded in agreement and told her to be careful.

Jinran left with her basket on her back. Her aunt said in a spieling tone, "Third brother, I shouldn't be the one saying this. Jinran is too wild. She runs up the mountain every day. And I've also heard that her grades aren't very good. Why don't she just go to the fields and earn work points? What's the point of going to school? It's a waste of money."

My second aunt chimed in, "Yes, why waste that money? She's just a girl. It's more important for her to keep the house tidy and be able to do housework."

Wang Cuifen slammed the vegetables in her hand into the bowl and said coldly, "How come you can eat a hundred beans and still not smell like beans? You never learn. Let me tell you this: Nini is my lifeblood. I'm different from you. I don't think daughters are a burden. My Nini will be able to inherit the family property. I don't expect you to speak up for me because of rumors, but if I find out that you're spreading any unsavory things outside, I'll tear your mouths apart. You can try me."

The eldest and second aunts were stunned by the harshness in Wang Cuifen's words, and for a moment they were somewhat timid.

“Get to work, sister-in-law, wash all these things, and second sister-in-law, help me render the fatty meat I bought into fat.”

Both of them obediently lowered their heads and got to work, not daring to utter a single careless word.

When Grandma Shen arrived, she looked at the harmonious relationship between the three daughters-in-law and thought with some relief, "It's better to separate the family. Once the sisters-in-law are separated, the atmosphere is much better."

After Jinran went up the mountain, she found a powerful electric baton in her spatial storage. She decided to go find wild boars; that's how determined she was.

After walking for a long time, they still hadn't met them. Jinran breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that she was a coward, but that the wild boar was. The enemy was right at their doorstep, yet they still didn't fight.

Jinran continued walking inside, muttering to herself, when she heard a series of grunting sounds.

Jinran thought, "Does this have to be so Cao Cao-like?"

Touch its fur, don't be afraid.

Jinran first looked around, then quickly climbed a tree, waiting for the wild boar to come.

A short while later, a wild boar, which looked to weigh around 300 pounds, was seen staggering towards Jinran.

Jinran estimated the fighting strength of both sides and gave up, but who knew that this wild boar seemed to have its eye on the tree where Jinran was.

It started huffing and puffing as it rubbed against me.

The tree swayed violently, and Jinran quickly clung to a branch. She finally experienced what it meant to know what her father's father was called.

I'm so dizzy!

The wild boar seemed to have discovered something delicious, and began rooting around in the ground not far from the tree.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jinran quickly climbed down the tree and fired a series of shots at the wild boar. After hearing a howl, she quickly ran away and entered her spatial dimension for refuge.
