By the time they carried the wild boar into the village, the news had already spread.

Liu Xiuying was worried about her granddaughter-in-law's safety, so she waited at the village entrance early in the morning.

Han Jinling came down from the mountain at this time and saw Liu Xiuying with a worried expression.

He sidled up to her, trying to get something out of her, and said, "Auntie is still waiting; she probably won't be back for a while."

"I heard they caught a wild boar. Are they sharing it with the villagers?"

Han Jinling felt a pang of regret. If she had persisted a little longer, she might have been the one to catch the wild boar.

"Well, it depends. We should naturally thank the person who helped us."

Liu Xiuying ignored her, knowing that she was always close to Li Dacui and that they were the same kind of people, so she didn't like her very much.

"Auntie, we're relatives after all, do you think I could get a share?"

Her family hasn't eaten meat in a long time, so they definitely want to take advantage of this opportunity.

Liu Xiuying glanced at her but didn't say anything more.

"Grandma, why hasn't my wife come back yet?"

Han Yu'an, whose fever had just subsided, also stayed by his grandmother's side, anxiously waiting for his wife.

"Yu'an, don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Liu Xiuying gently patted his hand to comfort him.

Soon a crowd appeared at the village entrance. The weather was already quite cold in late autumn, but the dozen or so men carrying the wild boar were still working up a sweat.

My clothes were soaked through when I got to the village entrance.

Liu Xiuying looked left and right but couldn't see Cui Yulu anywhere; her heart was in her throat.

"Oh dear, where is Cui girl?"

"Auntie, look how big this wild boar is! The meat must taste delicious."

She had already come up with many ideas in her mind, and her mouth was watering from thinking about them.

"snort."

Liu Xiuying was anxious, and Han Yu'an beside her was also very anxious, completely disregarding the wild boar.

More than eating meat, he was worried about his wife's safety.

Han Chunying quickly ran over.

"Grandma, we're fine, my sister-in-law is fine too, and we even brought back lots of good things."

This girl has absolutely no sense of propriety when it comes to her mouth.

He made such a fuss as if he wanted everyone to know.

The women in the village were all envious; a little girl had managed to hunt a wild boar, something even strong men might not be able to subdue.

"Aunt Han, your family is really lucky to have hunted such a big wild boar."

"Yes, it's all thanks to my wife Yu'an who brought us good luck. She's our family's lucky star."

Liu Xiuying spared no praise for Cui Yulu, and even felt proud to have married such a wife.

"Yes, you love Yu'an so much. He's so lucky to have married such a blessed wife. It's truly enviable."

The villagers were filled with envy and admiration, which made Liu Xiuying feel very happy.

Soon, under the direction of the village head, the group carried the wild boar into the Han family's courtyard.

The moment Liu Xiuying saw Cui Yulu, she never let go of her hand.

"Why are you so disobedient? What will we do if something happens to you?"

"Grandma, look at me now, I'm all right, aren't I? I'm back safe and sound, aren't I?"

Cui Yulu playfully clung to her arm and said coquettishly.

Han Yu'an refused to leave her side for even a moment, as if afraid she would disappear.

Seeing that Liu Xiuying ignored her, Han Jinling turned and walked towards the second branch of the Han family to discuss countermeasures with Li Dacui.

She always knew that the eldest branch of the Han family couldn't compete with the second branch, and any good things would definitely be snatched away by the second branch. With Li Dacui by her side, she might be able to gain some advantage.

When Liu Xiuying got home, she quickly asked Han Hu to call Han Ergou, the pig butcher in the village.

Liu Meie and Cao Qiaoniu were busy boiling water to remove the pig hair.

"Sister-in-law Han is so lucky! Your wife caught such a big wild boar."

The village head also came over to congratulate Liu Xiuying.

"This wild boar is a gift from heaven, and everyone should have a share."

Liu Xiuying looked at Cui Yulu, seeking her consent.

She naturally agreed, since she hadn't killed the wild boar; someone else had. As for why he didn't want it, she had no idea.

"Then please come to my house tomorrow for a feast of pork stew, as a wedding banquet for my grandson."

Cui Yulu was bought to bring good luck in marriage, and there was no wedding ceremony. Therefore, most people in the village do not know her.

This was a good opportunity to introduce her to the villagers, and from then on, she became an official member of the Han family.

"Oh my, Sister-in-law Han is so lucky. We congratulate you in advance."

Everyone was delighted to hear Liu Xiuying's words, as this was a rare opportunity to experience the taste of meat.

Soon Han Ergou came over and gutted the wild boar, filling two basins with its internal organs.

It takes seven or eight adult men to lift a wild boar after its internal organs have been removed.

Han Ergou quickly divided the wild boar into small pieces that were easy to store.

Liu Xiuying gave each of the people who helped her a piece of pork as a token of her gratitude.

He then picked out another piece of hind leg meat for the village head to take back.

“Village head, take this meat back and let the children have a taste. If you hadn’t taken them there, my granddaughter-in-law might have died there.”

"Then I'll accept it."

The village head didn't stand on ceremony. His grandson had been asking for meat yesterday, so he could take some back today to satisfy the child's craving.

"Remember to come tomorrow, everyone. We'll host a feast for you."

After a brief exchange of agreement, everyone hurriedly returned home.

Just as they were about to close the door, Cao Jinfang came over with Li Dacui and Han Jinling.
