Li Taohua glanced at the plump wild boar again, thinking to herself, "If this boar came to my house, I'd be willing to break down my house, let alone just the door."

After the initial surprise, Er Ya regained her senses and urged Jiang's mother to quickly prepare the pig-slaughtering ingredients so that the pig could be bled while it was still fresh, otherwise it wouldn't taste good later.

Li Taohua and Jiang's mother hurriedly grabbed knives and basins, thinking that pig's blood was a good thing and shouldn't be wasted.

Lin Jianguo went out to fetch water. He had originally intended to ask the people from the old house to help with the tidying up, but Er Ya stopped him.

“Dad, you asked Grandpa and Uncle to come and help, but how do you explain this wild boar? If you tell them it ran into you, they definitely won’t believe you.”

Lin Jianguo hesitated. He still felt guilty for not letting them know about the wild boar incident last time, but this time…

Er Ya knew what Lin Jianguo was thinking. He was just happy that he was doing well, and he felt sorry for his parents who were still eating coarse food.

"Dad, after we've cleaned up the wild boar, let's send them a pig's leg. That's quite a lot of meat. Just say it was given to us by the restaurant owner."

Jiang's mother, who was busy draining pig's blood, heard this and said, "What? A pig's leg? Lin Jianguo, have you forgotten what they said about you last time you sent meat over? Are you cheap? You always try to please them, but they don't even give you enough. This time, I'm in charge, you won't get any meat at all."

Lin Jianguo opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time. He sighed, picked up the buckets, and went out.

Er Ya knew her mother was also upset. Every time she made some changes to the old house, they would only make things worse.

The child obediently ran to Jiang's mother, and watched as she watched as the mother, holding a basin, filled it with more than half a basin of pig's blood in no time.

"Mom, let's make blood sausage with this pig's blood, and save the big bones to make soup. Also, let's not sell too much meat this time, let's save some so we can visit Grandpa and Grandma. I've almost forgotten what they look like."

Hearing her daughter's childlike voice, Jiang's mother felt a warmth in her heart. Her daughter was so thoughtful, still thinking about her family. Since marrying into the Lin family, she had rarely been back to her parents' home. Every time she wanted to go back, Old Mrs. Shen would come up with a bunch of reasons not to let her, and Lin Jianguo didn't dare to argue.

It's been two years since I last saw my parents. When they finally came to visit, Old Mrs. Shen didn't give them a friendly look. Over time, my parents stopped coming.

"Okay, I'll take you to see your grandparents then. They must miss you a lot."

The group quickly divided the wild boar meat into portions, and Lin Jianguo buried the unwanted parts, such as pig bristles, in the vegetable garden behind the yard.

The wild boar, weighing two or three hundred pounds, was quickly butchered into pieces.

They set aside about twenty or thirty catties for their own consumption, and cut about two or three catties of meat for Li Taohua, but Li Taohua refused to accept it no matter what.

"Look at you, you're just helping out, why did you take so much meat? You should take it to Er Ya's grandparents instead."

Jiang's mother instructed Er Ya to deliver the meat to her house, saying, "Keep it for yourself, I'll need to trouble you with something later."

Li Taohua was overjoyed, her eyes practically glued to her face: "Hey, I'll tell Gou Dan'er later to stay home and watch over his grandma instead of running around."

With so much meat, how long will it last for our family? It seems that Jiang's mother specially cut the fatty meat for her, which will yield a lot of lard. She was also incredibly quick and efficient. She doesn't have much to repay them with right now, except for her strength.

Jiang's mother called Lin Jianguo over in a bad mood: "Here, this piece of meat is for the old house, so you won't hold a grudge against me. When we come back from the market, you can take it to the old house. You can decide how to say it."

Lin Jianguo excitedly touched Jiang's mother's hand: "I knew my wife wasn't a heartless person."

Jiang's mother gently pinched him: "So you think I'd be heartless if I didn't give your parents meat?"

Lin Jianguo glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention, then went up and kissed Jiang's mother: "No way, you're the best in my heart. I was just tongue-tied and said something wrong."

Jiang's mother nervously pushed Lin Jianguo away and looked around. Fortunately, they were all busy processing pork. "Taohua and Erya are still here. What would it look like if they saw this?"

Lin Jianguo chuckled foolishly a few times: "It's not illegal for me to kiss my wife."

"Alright, hurry up and borrow Old Man Lin's oxcart, and get this pork to the restaurant as soon as possible, lest something goes wrong."

Sometimes Old Man Lin would rent out his oxcart, depending on whether you offered a reasonable price.

When they arrived at the village entrance, they happened to see Old Man Lin returning from a trip.

After agreeing on a price of one cent per trip, Lin Jianguo returned and helped carry all the pork onto the oxcart, along with the braised meat. He then urged Jiang's mother and Er Ya to hurry up and get on the oxcart.

Seeing that they were about to leave and that there was nothing left for her, Li Taohua hurriedly asked, "Sister-in-law, you said you would need to talk to me later, what is it?"

Er Ya mischievously made a face: "Hahaha, Auntie, my mom was just kidding you. You'd better cook something delicious for my brother Gou Dan today."

Jiang's mother pulled Er Ya to sit down and said to Li Taohua, "Taohua, we're leaving our household to you. You just need to help feed the pigs and such."

After saying that, he called to Old Man Lin to hurry up and leave, so as not to delay the business later. He said that he had been busy all day and was already late.

Li Taohua watched the family's backs as they walked away, wiped away her tears, turned around and went into their yard to see if there was any work that needed to be done.

Old Man Lin, driving the cart, asked Lin Jianguo curiously, "Lin Lao Er, what are you carrying? It looks like quite a lot."

Just as Lin Jianguo was about to speak, Er Ya tugged at his clothes: "Grandpa Lin, it's just that we're poor. We go up the mountain every day to dig up a lot of wild vegetables, and we're planning to see if we can sell them for a good price."

Old Man Lin may be old, but he has a sharp eye. He didn't believe Er Ya's words at all. Judging from the way Lin Jianguo carried the basket earlier, the weight didn't seem like it was for wild vegetables. Knowing they didn't want to talk about it, he didn't press further. As long as he got his money, he didn't care what the basket contained.

He said dismissively, "These three or four baskets of yours will fetch a good price."

Jiang's mother gave a perfunctory smile in response: "Anyway, it's just hard-earned money, nothing like what you do, Uncle."

Old Man Lin lost all interest in chatting and didn't say another word the rest of the way, focusing solely on driving the cart.

When they finally arrived at the restaurant, travel-worn and exhausted, it was already lunchtime. Even the usually shameless Er Ya felt a little embarrassed: "Um... we really didn't come here to freeload."
