Zhou Yanjing frowned slightly, and his tone was filled with fear. "No one usually goes to that forest. How dare you go in alone?"

Shen Liwu lowered his head and continued to wash the herbs in his hands. His voice was soft but firm. "I didn't think too much about it. I just wanted to dig more useful things. You know, I am always interested in these things."

Her fingertips gently moved in the water, and clear water slid down her wrists, dripping onto the soil, splashing small water droplets.

Zhou Yanjing was silent for a moment, looking at her profile with complicated eyes. I had a medicinal herb in my hand and washed it a little roughly.

"Hey, don't wash it. You'll ruin the herbs. Put it down and go play somewhere else." Shen Liwu's eyes were full of heartache.

Zhou Yejing let it go silently, feeling extremely depressed.

You can feel sorry for a herb, so why haven’t I seen you feel sorry for me?

He waited for Shen Liwu on the side. After processing the herbs, Shen Liwu stood up and stretched his sore waist.

"It's done, sir. Let's go divide the meat."

Although the wild boar is not big and there is not much meat, it is a pleasure to eat it.

The open space in front of the kitchen squad was crowded with people. The soldiers gathered around the makeshift wooden table, staring intently at the wild boar meat on the table. There was a faint smell of blood in the air, mixed with the scent of earth, which seemed particularly rough.

Shen Liwu and Zhou Yanjing came side by side, and the soldiers made way for them. Master Li held a sharp knife, the blade gleaming coldly in the sun. He cut the wild boar into pieces skillfully and quickly.

"This piece of pork belly has alternating fat and lean texture, making it perfect for making braised pork." Chef Li said loudly as he cut.

Zhang Damei stood aside, staring at the meat on the chopping board, and kept muttering: "The braised pork is good, fat but not greasy, and melts in your mouth!"

Shen Liwu smiled and glanced at her, "I know you like to eat meat, I'll save an extra piece for you later."

Zhang Damei chuckled and touched her stomach, "Of course, I haven't eaten such fresh game in a long time."

Zhou Yanjing stood beside Shen Liwu and looked at her gently, "Which part do you like to eat?"

Shen Liwu thought for a moment and said, "A pig's trotter! Anyway, we are not short of food, so give more to everyone."

Everyone got a share of pork. Although the portion was not much, everyone was very happy to have a taste of meat.

Everyone returned to their family compound. There was fragrance coming from every yard. It should have been a happy day, but something unexpected happened.

"I said, what's wrong with him? I saved this little bit of meat for my eldest grandson. Didn't you see that my eldest grandson is in the hospital? Why would he eat meat all by himself? If you feel sorry for him, give him your meat!" Aunt Gao put her hands on her hips and shouted loudly.

Zhang Damei: "Bah, aren't you afraid that Xu Dong's father will come back from his grave to look for you when you say that? You took the pension and did nothing for him. Look how thin Xu Dong has become. I think Tiedan deserves to be sick. He ate all that Xu Dong deserved. It's strange that he doesn't have a stomachache."

Aunt Gao was so angry that she was shaking all over. She screamed, "Stop talking nonsense here! You have no right to interfere with my family's affairs! If you have the guts, give your meat to Xu Dong and stop gossiping here!"

Zhang Damei put her hands on her waist and refused to give in. "Do you think I'm as stingy as you, Xu Dong? We're going to have dinner at my aunt's house today. The old woman is stingy and wants to save the good stuff to buy her a coffin. We won't eat."

Zhang Damei wanted to go over and pull Xu Dong, but Aunt Gao immediately stopped him, "Who do you think should be kept to buy a coffin? Keep your mother!"

Aunt Gao was furious and rolled up her sleeves to get to work.
