When many villagers heard Aunt Zhang's crying, they immediately started pointing and talking, and concluded that it must be Jiang Xueying who stole Aunt Zhang's pig. Otherwise, since she had no money and no ability, and the village chief had finally sympathized with her and let her live in the old house, where did she get the pig to kill and eat?

Unpleasant words were heard one after another, but Jiang Xueying was unusually calm. She stood up and glanced at Aunt Zhang who was pretending to be aggrieved. She took in all the looks from the rest of the people and revealed a mocking expression.

"Aunt Zhang, you must have misunderstood. What does your lost pig have to do with me eating pork? Which eye of yours saw that I stole your pig? Do all pigs in the world look the same?"

"Humph, Jiang Xueying, don't be so stubborn. It was you who stole my pig. You didn't raise pigs or buy any. How come you killed my pig right after I lost it? How could it be such a coincidence?"

Aunt Zhang kept holding on to this reason. Although she couldn't produce any evidence, Jiang Xueying couldn't produce any either, right? Even if she jumped into the Yellow River today, she had to say that the pig was hers.

"I don't know where your lost pig went, but I caught this pig. If I caught something in the mountains, you should say it's yours. Otherwise, why don't you say that everything in the whole village belongs to you?"

Jiang Xueying sneered. This was the first time she met an unreasonable shrew. In the past, she never had so much nonsense with people. She just solved the problem with a knife.

Ye Xiaoyu was shocked when she heard Jiang Xueying's thoughts, and hurried over to hold her back. She was really afraid that Jiang Xueying would kill someone on impulse. She still remembered Jiang Xueying's fluent knife skills when she slaughtered the pig just now.

"stepmother!"

When Ye Xiaoyu grabbed her and screamed, Jiang Xueying thought she was scared, so she gave Aunt Zhang a warning look and then grabbed Ye Xiaoyu's hand.

"It's okay, don't worry!"

Aunt Liu, who felt a little guilty after being looked at by Jiang Xueying, immediately encouraged herself. She decided to prove Jiang Xueying's crime of stealing the pig today. In panic, she thought of the pile of meat she saw when she first entered the door, and her greed became even stronger.

"My pig is fat, white and tender. I have been feeding it for a long time. I didn't expect you to be so mean as to steal my pig and kill it."

As soon as Aunt Liu finished speaking, someone in the crowd suddenly laughed. Someone nearby who didn't know what was going on asked secretly. I don't know what the two of them talked about, but that person couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Xueying naturally understood what they were laughing at, and the coldness on her lips grew even wider.

Ye Xiaoyu and Ye Xiaojin stood on Jiang Xueying's left and right. Seeing that everyone was laughing, they didn't know what had happened, but they didn't dare to ask now.

"Laugh...what are you laughing at? What do you mean?"

Aunt Liu was a little confused and didn't understand why they suddenly started laughing. She didn't say anything wrong.

Jiang Xueying couldn't help but explain it to her when she saw her silly look.

"Auntie, if you lose something next time, you must look carefully before looking for it. Luckily, I caught a black wild boar this time, and it didn't suddenly turn into a white pig. Otherwise, I really can't explain it with ten mouths, right?"

"Yes, I just checked outside, and it is indeed the skin of a wild black pig!"

The villager who laughed first also explained that when he entered the door just now, he found the black pig skin thrown in the corner of the yard, and he knew that what happened today was definitely a misunderstanding.

Of course, this sentence also proves that what Jiang Xueying said is true.

Listening to the two people singing in unison, Aunt Zhang's face turned pale and blue, which was very beautiful. Her eyes were full of embarrassment and shame. She laughed a few times with strong calmness.

"Misunderstanding, it is indeed a misunderstanding!"

After saying this, Aunt Zhang ran away in shame.

Jiang Xueying had guessed this result early on, so she had thought of a countermeasure from the beginning. However, she didn't expect that Aunt Zhang was so stupid that she confessed without being asked, which saved her the trouble of taking the lead.

The main troublemaker has left, so why are these onlookers staying here? A woman with two children has finally managed to kill a wild boar, and they can't eat her food, otherwise it would be really immoral.

After everyone had left, Jiang Xueying took the two children to sit down and eat.

Two pairs of sparkling eyes looked at her, and Jiang Xueying touched her face unconsciously, feeling a little confused.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ye Xiaojin chewed the food in his mouth vigorously, his lips were covered with oil, and his eyes were full of admiration, "Mom was so great today."

Not only did he bring back such a big pig, but he also drove away the bad guys who were causing trouble. It was really amazing.

Jiang Xueying was very pleased. She touched Ye Xiaojin's little head and took the opportunity to teach him earnestly, "Don't panic when you encounter such things in the future. Look carefully for the opponent's flaws, and many things will fall apart on their own. Do you understand?"

Ye Xiaojin nodded as if he understood. He was usually protected too well by Ye Xiaoyu, so it was time for him to exercise.

"I'm going to town tomorrow, Xiaojin, come with me!"

Tomorrow she will go and see what the salt-selling place in the town is like, otherwise she will not be able to cash in on the salt lake she discovered. Besides, Ye Xiaojin is already so old, she thinks he should find a school to go to, and this time she can go and see if there is a suitable one.

Listening to Jiang Xueying thinking about herself in every aspect, Ye Xiaojin couldn't help but wet her eyes, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

As long as Jiang Xueying treats Ye Xiaojin well, Ye Xiaoyu naturally has no objection.

Early in the morning, Jiang Xueying packed the crystal salt and fine salt separately, asked Ye Xiaoyu to rub the remaining pork with salt and hang it up at home, and then took Ye Xiaojin out.

"You must be hungry after getting up so early. I brought some fruits with me. Eat some to fill your stomach first. We'll go to town to eat later."

This time I still took a ox cart from a big brother from the same village, and arrived in the town in about an hour.

Ye Xiaojin had been staying in the town and had hardly gone out. When she arrived in the town, she felt that everything was new. Her eyes looked around with unusually bright colors.

Jiang Xueying took Ye Xiaojin for a walk on the street and soon found out where salt was sold.

The storefront was decorated extremely luxuriously, and it was obvious at first glance that it was a well-established place. This was a regular official salt store, and the only official store.

Of course, there were some shops selling contraband salt among the people, but they did not dare to sell it openly. They just sold it with the help of others, and only the people who were used to buying it knew about it. In fact, they were equivalent to modern distributors. As for whether they were formal or not, it was unknown.

However, for ordinary people, benefits are the most important, and it doesn’t matter where the money comes from.

For Jiang Xueying, of course she had to find private salt dealers to cooperate with. The risks of official channels were too great, so she had to plan carefully.
