"Lin Zhiqing is right."

Su Jingtian nodded, "The village chief has treated us the best of all, so he hasn't shortchanged us."

We'll process the wild boar meat together; you can do whatever you want with it.

The trotters and offal have all been used for the banquet, but there are still quite a few bones left. Lin, the educated youth, should we buy them?

"Buy them all."

Lin Jingyu stated frankly, "Whether it's bones or wild boar meat, we'll take everything the village chief and the others haven't sold."

"Okay, I'll go find the village chief in a bit."

Su Jingtian naturally knew that no matter how much meat ended up in Lin Jingyu's hands, it would eventually be turned into all sorts of delicacies.

Of course, these things weren't kept for them to eat; apart from the bones, most of the rest were sent to the relatives of a few people.

A thrilling day has passed.

At He Zhenhua's home.

The four of them sat together, and after dinner, they talked about what had happened that day.

"You can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't measure the sea with a bushel."

Yu Guohai couldn't help but sigh softly, "The seemingly delicate and frail Lin Zhiqing is actually a master."

"You underestimated her from the start."

Wang Hongliang chuckled and said, "Have you forgotten how she dealt with Zhang Tieguang's family?"

Zhang Aiguo, a grown man, was dragged away by her with one hand like a dead dog.

Don't forget, Zhang Aiguo is a grown man, someone who grew up doing hard labor. If he didn't have some strength, do you think Lin Zhiqing could have subdued him?

"That's something I definitely forgot."

Yu Guohai patted his forehead, "Who told Lin Zhiqing to be so pretty and delicate? I subconsciously forgot about her fierce behavior."

“Jingyu said that her maternal grandfather used to be a bodyguard.”

Mu Qiuyue took the initiative to explain, "She learned martial arts from a young age, so she is naturally stronger than the average person, and she knows some martial arts moves."

Although she wasn't a master, she could easily handle one or two big men who didn't know martial arts.

"No wonder."

Zhu Haofeng nodded slightly, "The镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) who used to make escorts were all really skilled people. It seems that Lin Zhiqing's maternal grandfather was an extraordinary figure."

I don't know which faction he belongs to.

"Haofeng, I remember you know Hung Kuen, right?"

Yu Guohai turned his gaze to the person next to him, "Can you tell what kind of successor Lin Zhiqing is?"

"I haven't seen her use her skills, how would I know what kind of successor she is?"

Zhu Haofeng was both amused and exasperated. "If you want to know, ask her when you have the chance. I'm sure she won't hide this from you."

"I'll ask again when I have the chance."

Yu Guohai scratched his head, then suddenly thought of another question, "By the way, how much did you receive in red envelopes from them?"

I just opened them and checked, and they're all ten-yuan notes. Isn't that too much?

"Yes, that's exactly what I was going to tell you."

Wang Hongliang continued, "Besides the two ladies, Liu Qingqing and Liu Aiying, who gave two yuan red envelopes, the other four all gave ten yuan red envelopes."

"It seems we're all the same."

Zhu Haofeng looked at He Zhenhua and asked, "Zhenhua, what do you think should be done about this?"

"Dealing with what?"

He Zhenhua looked helpless. "Everyone received the same red envelope, which means they agreed to give them together. Are you planning to return them?"

"Isn't that a bit too much?"

Yu Guohai frowned slightly, "The most people give as gifts and red envelopes is one or two yuan, and some people even give as little as fifty cents."

"It's all their idea, no matter how much."

Mu Qiuyue had to explain, "In my opinion, Jingyu and the others gave us big red envelopes because they wanted us to get through this difficult time, since we've run out of money."

With the year-end approaching, there are many expenses, so receiving these red envelopes is a welcome relief.

"I think that's what they mean."

He Zhenhua nodded slightly, "They mean well, we should just accept their kindness."

We'll return it to them next time they have a happy occasion.

That's how human relationships work—we help each other, and we don't need to worry about whether we give more or less.

Isn't that why we became friends?

"Zhenhua is right."

Wang Hongliang smiled and said, "It's not like we can't repay these favors. It's about giving and receiving; that's the meaning of our friendship."

Zhu Haofeng and Yu Guohai thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.

They all nodded silently.

the next day.

The villagers still felt lingering fear and unease when they talked about what happened yesterday.

"I never expected that something so dangerous would happen so close to the Chinese New Year."

"It's such a pity that the children of He Shan's family and Li Jun's family passed away at such a young age."

"They're just unlucky. Instead of trying to avoid a group of wild boars, they dared to provoke them. Who else would the wild boars hit if not them?"

"I heard that these two lads were scouting ahead and found a group of wild boar piglets. They tried to steal them back, which led to the wild boars' revenge."

"Those who don't heed the advice of their elders will suffer the consequences. Before going up the mountain, they were told a thousand times to be careful. If they encountered wild animals, they should have told the captain immediately. They acted on their own and now they have no one to blame but themselves for this outcome."

"They're all gone, so I think everyone should watch their mouths and stop talking about them."

"I really didn't expect that Teacher Lin is so young, yet so amazing."

"Wow, speaking of Teacher Lin, I still feel like I'm dreaming. A little girl could kill a wild boar with a machete."

"I heard that Teacher Lin has practiced martial arts."

"You've forgotten, I could tell from the time Teacher Lin took action against the Zhang family that she was very strong."
