Chapter 499 Fighting Her to the Death

The Zhang family is definitely willing to eat several hundred kilograms of pork themselves!

Seeing that they were unwilling to budge, the Zhang family could only nod and agree with tears in their eyes: "Fine! Four cents it is!"

At least we can recover some of the losses, and we won't starve to death at the start of the new year!

Fortunately, there was still an extra twenty yuan, which could last for a while.

The matter of buying a daughter will have to wait a few more years.

Sanni's stomach started growling shortly after she left the village.

She hadn't eaten for eight or nine hours.

Helian Jiao immediately said excitedly, "Third Sister, I'll go get you some meat to eat!"

“Sweetie, no need to go. Dad has some beef jerky and milk candy here. You can give Sanni some to tide her over first.”

Fearing that others might see her using her supernatural powers, Chen Jianjun quickly took out some beef jerky and milk candy from his pocket and handed them to her.

This was what he prepared for his precious baby before going up the mountain. He knew the valley was remote and he was afraid she would get hungry on the way.

He couldn't bear to see his daughter go hungry!

Helian Jiao, however, remained resolute: "I want to grab some meat and take it home to eat!"

That big tiger was pretty good!

Chen Jianjun coaxed gently, "Sweetie, look, it's getting dark. Let's hurry home first, and Dad will take you into the mountains to catch meat for us tomorrow, okay?"

Helian Jiao thought for a moment, then reluctantly nodded in agreement: "Okay."

She knew that human eyesight wasn't good either, and that it was difficult to see the road when it got dark.

"Good girl."

Chen Jianjun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she agreed, and shared one of the milk candies in his pocket with the others.

Sugar can replenish energy, so he made sure to take extra with him when he went out.

Several young men from the commune who volunteered to help were eating milk candy for the first time, and as soon as they tasted it, they exclaimed, "This candy is really delicious!"

With a sweet candy in their mouth, they perked up and quickened their pace down the mountain.

The descent was much faster than the ascent; it only took a little over an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.

It was already getting dark, and it would take another hour or so to walk back to the commune.

Chen Jianmin, who doesn't usually do much work, already showed signs of fatigue on his face.

Helian Jiao, on the other hand, was full of energy, still holding her head high and walking ahead with Da Bai with great strides.

Chen Dazhu and Ma Xiulian ate a lot of goldfish with her, and their physical strength was no less than that of a strong young laborer.

Looking at his youngest son, who looked exhausted, he thought to himself that it was a good thing he had sent him to learn carpentry, otherwise, with his physical strength, he definitely wouldn't be able to support his family by farming.

At this moment, the Chen family had already prepared the food and was keeping it warm in the pot. Seeing that it was getting dark and the person had not returned, they began to feel anxious.

Zhao Mei said with a worried look, "Even if it's far away, you should be back by now. Could something have happened to you on the way?"

Going into the mountains in winter is dangerous enough, but what if you get lost after dark?

Honey, you absolutely can't be hurt!

Liu Lanzhi didn't say anything, but her expression showed some worry, and she kept glancing towards the door.

Zhou Zhaodi said firmly, "No way! With Guaibao and Dabai around, nothing will happen. They'll all come back safely."

My little niece is a fairy with great fortune; she will surely bring the whole family back safely!

After saying that, she glanced in the direction of the third wife, then changed the subject and started cursing again: "Damn Li Chunhua! She's really blinded by greed, listening to that old woman's nonsense. If she hadn't done something stupid, her whole family wouldn't be here fighting and worrying. If something really happens to my husband, I'll risk everything and fight her to the death!"
