Chapter 227 Forcing Pei Jiuyan to Divorce His Wife and Marry Another

Qin Suisui felt a familiar and reassuring cool fragrance suddenly waft to her nose. She quickly looked up and, sure enough, saw the face of the person in the dim light.

"Brother Ajiu! What brings you here?!" The person who came was Pei Jiuyan.

Pei Jiuyan nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the cunning sow. He saw Da Hua use her thick snake tail to lift the weak sow high and throw her down heavily. The sow struggled on the ground for a moment before quickly dying.

Only after confirming that there was no danger did Pei Jiuyan's tense muscles relax.

He patted Qin Suisui's head, checked her over to make sure she wasn't injured, and then said softly, "You specifically told me that tomorrow is the Serpent Spirit Brigade's Prayer Festival, how could I not rush back to participate with you?"

Qin Suisui remembered that he had asked someone to deliver a message to her the day before yesterday, saying that the mission would take three more days to complete. That's why she didn't wait for Pei Jiuyan and came directly with Zanzan. She thought he wouldn't be able to make it in time.

"So you've been working overtime all night again?" That must be it. He must have stayed up for two nights and rushed back overnight.

Seeing Qin Suisui's unhappy expression, Pei Jiuyan patted her head and said, "It's alright."

Qin Suisui lowered her head and muttered softly, "Staying up late can easily lead to kidney deficiency."

Pei Jiuyan touched his ear and leaned closer: "What did you say?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Qin Suisui waved her hand and walked towards the sow that had already died. There was still movement in its abdomen, so the piglets inside should still be alive. If they were cut out in time, they might still be able to survive.

Pei Jiuyan chuckled: "Looks like I've been on a mission for too long. When I get back tonight, I'll let you see if I have kidney deficiency."

Sure enough, men can't stand hearing others say they're inadequate, even hearing the words "kidney deficiency" will ignite a strange competitive spirit in someone as aloof as Pei Jiuyan.

Qin Suisui did not want to argue with him. Her many experiences had taught her that the more she argued, the more he would torment her at night.

A wise person knows when to yield; what harm is there in her giving him a few words?

Qin Suisui pretended not to hear, squatted down next to the still warm sow, and said to him, "Brother Ajiu, come and help! The piglets in this sow's belly are still alive! I need to cut them out!"

Pei Jiuyan certainly couldn't let Qin Suisui do something so bloody.

So he resigned himself to taking the dagger from Qin Suisui's hand and, under her guidance, cut open the sow's belly. The little wild boar inside was indeed still alive, but because the sow had died, it was slightly hypoxic inside the belly. Now that it had been cut out, it lay on the ground groaning in discomfort.

This was the first time Pei Jiuyan had ever done something like this. Perhaps due to his profession, his hands didn't tremble, and he pulled one after another of the baby wild boars with tan stripes from the sow's belly. (ps: When wild boars are first born, they have tan stripes to camouflage themselves in the leaf litter and avoid predators. As they grow, their body color gradually turns red, and then dark brown or black.)

Pei Jiuyan kept moving, while Qin Suisui's eyes widened as she counted, "5...6...7...8...9..." This sow actually had nine piglets in one litter! She's incredibly fertile!

By then, Parman and his men had returned victorious, with all thirty-odd wild boars fallen. The destroyed rice paddies were also within their expectations, and the losses were minor.

When Paman brought the ancestral spirits to find Qin Suisui, they could smell a strong stench of blood even before they got close.

He furrowed his brows, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and in a few light leaps, he arrived in front of Qin Suisui.

"Junior sister, are you alright? Where are you hurt..." Before she could finish speaking, she saw Pei Jiuyan standing next to Qin Suisui.

His voice was slightly hoarse: "What happened? When did Ayan come back?"

Pei Jiuyan nodded: "Senior brother, I just arrived."

Paman felt relieved and then saw Qin Suisui and Pei Jiuyan squatting in front of a large sow that had just died not long ago, with a group of yellowish-brown piglets beside them.

He was taken aback, and before he could speak, Qin Suisui's excited voice rang out: "Senior brother! These piglets are very healthy. You can raise them directly, and you won't need to buy piglets from outside this year!"

It's early spring, the time when several surrounding production brigades are procuring piglets. Because the state has a quota for pig purchases, the production teams need to deliver a certain number of fattened pigs to the state according to plan.

Therefore, in the spring, each brigade would buy piglets in the name of the collective. When they were ready for market at the end of the year, the money from the sale would be distributed to everyone according to the work points. Not only that, each household would also receive a share of the meat.

Since the Serpent Spirit Squad has already integrated into their ranks, they must naturally abide by this tradition.

However, piglets are not cheap. Well-off brigades can raise dozens or even hundreds a year, while those with poorer conditions can only raise a few.

Qiongtan Island is located in a relatively remote area, and the conditions are relatively worse than those in the inland areas. Among the surrounding brigades, only the Hongqiding Brigade had good conditions last year, raising eight pigs.

Now, the Snake Spirit Brigade has captured nine wild boars without spending a penny. If they are raised well, they could be a dark horse this year!

Qin Suisui could imagine the scene of Li Haisheng, the captain of the Hongqiding Brigade who always strived to be the best, losing to the Guangmingding Brigade in planting medicinal herbs and to the Sheling Brigade in raising pigs, and how he was so angry that he vomited blood.

Paman had obviously also thought about raising pigs. They lived deep in the mountains and their supplies came from there. The entire brigade had very little money, and even building houses was funded by the organization.

A few days ago, when the organization sent people to inquire about pig farming, it really worried Palong. Raising pigs is a good thing, but the entire brigade combined couldn't afford to buy two piglets!

Great, I got 9 baby wild boars without lifting a finger!

Even the usually expressionless Parman smiled: "Junior sister, thanks to you!"

By the time they brought the thirty-odd wild boars back to the brigade, it was already dawn.

When Palon saw the nine baby wild boars, he was overjoyed. After organizing the morning rituals for the festival, he rushed over to personally supervise the team in building the pigpen.

The wild boars, which were originally weak at birth, became energetic after being fed milk produced by Qin Suisui's space. The nine of them huddled together in a straw-lined basket, grunting and squealing, creating a harmonious symphony with the joyous sounds of gongs and drums from the brigade.

Pei Jiuyan and Paman had already been pulled over by the team members to kill wild boar and cook pork in the square.

After taking care of the little wild boar, Qin Suisui was about to rest for a while when she heard a knock on the courtyard gate.

Curious, she went to open the door and saw Mu Ling, who had come to openly declare war on Jia Zhenzhen and demand fair competition for Paman, anxiously grabbing her hand: "Sui Sui, hurry to the square! Paman's granddaughter has taken a fancy to your man and wants to force him to divorce his wife and marry someone else!"
