Cheng Youfu kept saying how delicious the food was today. Song Yan teased him, "Didn't I tell you? You won't be letting me call you 'sister' for nothing. Come over if you like it."

Cheng Youfu pouted, "If I come again tomorrow, my mother will twist my ear, you believe me?"

"Then come to my house when you're done with work, and I'll get you a fish." Song Yan has plenty of fish.

Cheng Youfu scratched his head, "Sis, fishing isn't easy for you either!"

"Haven't you heard? The fish in the river only want to bite my hook. Why would I need one more fish?" Now everyone in the village jokes that the fish in the river only want Song Zhiqing's fishhook…

When Wei Aiguo returned home after work that evening, he saw the rabbit trapped under a willow basket. His expression immediately darkened. "You've gone into the Black Mountain again!"

"I didn't go very far..." Song Yan whispered.

"Patriotism, what are you shouting for?" Aunt Wei asked, noticing something was off in the voice.

Wei Aiguo glared at Song Yan, poked Song Yan's head with his finger, and silently said, "I'll deal with you later."

"Mom, it's alright." Wei Aiguo turned around and started cleaning the rabbit. Wei Aiguo told his mother that he had caught the rabbit by the wheat field.

Dinner was also plentiful, with steamed rice cake, scrambled eggs with persimmons, stewed wild boar ribs with green beans, and of course, fish soup.

Wei Ping and Wei An were still clinging to Song Yan, wanting her to hold them while they slept. When Song Yan returned to the room, Wei Aiguo was sitting upright with a sour face, clearly waiting for her.

Song Yan was also unhappy. How many bites of rabbit meat could he possibly eat? His face was already grumpy during the meal. Was this never going to end? Before he could speak, Song Yan simply blew out the lamp and climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) in the dark.

Sighing for Wei Aiguo, Song Yan, who appeared amiable and cautious in public, realized it was all an act.

Look at her temper. Actually, that's nothing compared to how she dared to hit him. It forced him to wear long sleeves no matter how hot it was while working; he still has marks on his arms. If others knew his wife had beaten him, they'd laugh their heads off. "You've only heard that my older brother died for public property, but you don't know how he died, do you?" As expected, Wei Aiguo didn't hear Song Yan's reply. "In the autumn, wild boars often came down the mountain to raid the crops. All the able-bodied men in the village had to guard the fields. That's when my older brother encountered a wild boar."

Song Yan really didn't know how Wei Ping's father died, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but turn over.

Wei Aiguo heard Song Yan as soon as she turned over, which meant she was listening. "My brother was killed by a wild boar. It bit him right in the throat."

After not hearing Wei Aiguo's voice for a long time, Song Yan couldn't help but say, "I will definitely be very careful and won't go any deeper."

“Do you know why the villagers only say my older brother is dead and never mention anything else? It’s because a wild boar bit my brother’s neck in one bite… When they brought him back, I saw that his entire neck was only connected by a bit of skin and flesh…” Wei Aiguo’s voice was filled with sorrow.

Song Yan felt a little guilty; she had reminded Wei Aiguo of that past incident. She couldn't help but lean over and pat him on the shoulder. Song Yan wasn't ungrateful. "I understand, I'll be more careful next time."

Wei Aiguo grabbed Song Yan's hand, preventing her from pulling it away. "That's why my mother forbids me from hunting. My sister-in-law is a very good person; she and my mother are very close. My mother suddenly lost both her son and daughter-in-law. Her hair turned completely white in just a few days."...

Wei Aiguo did not let go of Song Yan's hand all night.

The next day at noon, Wei Aiguo's family still had the best food. Song Yan made fish jelly from several large fish. He simmered it over low heat for several hours until the fish were completely broken down, then took it into his spatial storage to remove the fish bones. He then placed it in the cellar to cool and solidify, temporarily storing it in his spatial storage. He only took it out when it was time to deliver the meal.

Chen Xiaodong and his friends were too embarrassed to come and freeload today, and Li Yuanzhao refused to come no matter what. Li Yuanzhao is different from Jiang Xiaoxiao; she didn't grow up with Song Yan.

Chen Xiaodong's son was already eight years old. Wei Aiguo beckoned, and the boy ran over. Song Yan served him a full bowl of cold wild vegetable salad and cut a piece of fish jelly. Cheng Youfu definitely wasn't coming to freeload today. But he had asked Song Yan for her cold wild vegetable salad beforehand. So half a basin of wild vegetables was placed in front of the Cheng family. Originally, Cheng Youfu's wife thought her brother-in-law was really something, asking for wild vegetables when he just wanted some. If he wanted some, why didn't he just get some from home? But after she took a bite, her eyes widened like saucers, "How did Aiguo's wife make this? How come this wild vegetable is so delicious?" The other members of the Cheng family also rushed to eat it.

Wu Meili was furious. "Wild vegetables? Where can't we find them? Look at your pathetic self."

The brigade leader wanted to ask for some wild vegetables, but he was too embarrassed.

The family gathered for a meal, with groups of people clustered around the edge of the field, not far apart. Everyone had heard yesterday that Aiguo's wife's cooking was delicious. They were quite surprised that the Cheng family was doing this again today; it was just wild vegetables, after all. It was embarrassing to freeload at someone else's house, but eating wild vegetables at someone's house was no big deal. A few curious people gathered around Wei Aiguo to try his family's cold wild vegetable salad. Song Yan mixed the vegetables in a large bowl; it was clearly more than they could finish. One of them even took a bowl home without hesitation.

Captain Wu was very quick; he was the second person to grab a bowl and pick wild vegetables. He filled the bowl to the brim.
