Chapter 4: Meat to Eat

In order to avoid attracting other people's attention, she only cut off one hind leg and the pig's head, left the magical space and hurried to catch up with the large group of people fleeing famine.

At this time, the people of Zhangjia Village had settled down on a hillside and were ready to rest.

Zhu Fangfang and Bai Xiaowei, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, became arrogant again when they saw that Zhao Chunhua had not shown up for such a long time.

They twisted their waists and came to the second team, sneering and saying, "Your mother hasn't been seen for a long time, could something have happened to her on the mountain?"

"Oh! It's so pitiful, but this is also a relief for her. What should you children do? I told you that you shouldn't be on your own. Look, now there are only a few little brats left, flying around like headless flies. How miserable."

The faces of the children from the second house turned ugly.

Da Jun was so angry that his face turned red. He clenched his fists and retorted: "Nonsense, my mother must be safe!"

Zhu Fangfang curled her lips in disdain: "Don't be silly, there are so many dangerous beasts on the mountain, even men don't dare to go there, how can an old and weak woman like her be okay?"

"Yes! If you know what's good for you, kneel down and beg us to take you in, and hand over all your food, maybe we can consider letting you follow us."

The Zhang family's children were so angry that their faces turned red.

Zhao Chunhua watched from behind for a while, then slowly walked forward and suddenly spoke behind the two men.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, who do you want to kneel down?"

This sound is creepy.

The two of them stiffened suddenly and turned their heads at the same time, only to see Zhao Chunhua covered in blood, staring at them grimly with her teeth bared.

Zhu Fangfang and Bai Xiaowei were frightened by seeing Zhao Chunhua covered in blood and ran away screaming.

Zhao Chunhua sneered.

Zhang Daniu and Zhang Dajun were the first to rush up.

"Mom! Are you not hurt?"

Zhao Chunhua wanted to touch the heads of the two children, but when she looked down and saw blood on her hands, she could only curl her lips and say, "Take the pork off first, it's too heavy!"

The army's eyes were as big as copper bells.

"Wild boar meat! Mom actually killed a wild boar, that's amazing!"

Not only were they happy, Zhao Chunhua also attracted a lot of people's attention along the way. Those hungry people looked at the wild boar meat in her hands with eager eyes as if they had seen a treasure.

Zhao Chunhua had been robbed three times on her way back, but those people were beaten so badly that they never dared to have any improper thoughts about her again.

Seeing Zhao Chunhua covered in blood, others did not dare to approach her easily.

The Zhang family kept swallowing their saliva and surrounded them in a hurry.

Zhang Tianfu blinked and asked quickly, "Mom, where did you get this wild boar? Why is there only the head and hind legs? Where are the other parts?"

Although he is usually taciturn, this second son has the most clever ideas.

This sentence touched everyone's heart.

Sure enough, everyone looked at her with joy.

Some relatives from the first and third houses next door, as well as some villagers living nearby, stretched their necks to eavesdrop.

Zhao Chunhua glanced at them, snorted, raised her hand and gave her second son a slap: "What are you imagining!"

"These were obtained from hunting for refugees from the neighboring village. The rest have long been taken by others. How could there be any left for you?"

As soon as she said this, there was a sigh of relief all around.

So that's how it is. There is no chance to get any benefits at all.

Zhang Tianfu's face was full of disappointment. He rubbed his forehead and smiled awkwardly.

Finally there was some meat to eat, and the Zhang family immediately became energetic, smiling and getting busy.

Zhang Baozhu, who was used to a life of luxury on weekdays, took the initiative to help cut meat and cook.

Zhao Chunhua ordered the army to make a fire and roast the meat. They put stone slabs on the fire and roasted the meat until it was fragrant. The remaining bones were thrown into the pot to make soup.

While no one was paying attention, she added some lake water into the porridge to help everyone recuperate.

The air was filled with the aroma of meat and rice, and the Zhang family was very satisfied with the meal.

No one had time to chat, for fear that the food would be gone in the blink of an eye.

The refugees around were so hungry that their stomachs were rumbling, but they could only drool and endure the hunger while smelling the food to satisfy their cravings. If they really tried to rob, they would be asking for trouble.

The people from the first and third rooms not far away couldn't help but come over when they smelled the fragrance.

In particular, Zhang Erxi, the only son of the eldest wife, jumped up and down and shouted, "Mom and Dad! There's meat to eat! I want to eat meat too!"

As he said that, he rushed forward and tried to kick Zhang Daniu away and snatch the bowl.
