Sure enough, the Jiang family didn't bother to investigate whether the chicken Jiang Wanwan caught was a wild chicken.

They didn't ask Jiang Wanwan how she was captured; they all insisted that since Jiang Wanwan came from the General's Mansion, she must know some martial arts.

This suited Jiang Wanwan perfectly, as it eliminated the need to explain how she caught the chicken.

In the future, she could blame any unreasonable things on the General's Mansion, so no one would suspect anything.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanwan was in a great mood. Her eyes shone brightly as she excitedly said, "Come on, Mom, Aunt, brothers, let's hurry home and eat chicken! I'm starving!"

"Hehehe, let's go back. Let Grandma, Grandpa, Dad, and Uncle San be happy too. We've been incredibly lucky today. We've picked a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms, and my sister even hunted two pheasants. We've never had such luck before. We're all thanks to my sister today." After saying this, Jiang He picked up the chickens and started to lead the way for the others.

Hu quickly flicked Jiang He on the forehead.

"Ouch! Mother, why did you hit me? Didn't you already confirm that this wasn't a dream?" Jiang He said, covering his head and feeling aggrieved.

Hu glared at him. "Are you stupid? You caught two pheasants and just swaggered around carrying them around like that? Are you trying to make people jealous and cause trouble for your sister?"

Hearing this, Jiang He suddenly realized. "Look at me, Mother is always so thoughtful."

He placed the pheasants in the basket behind Jiang Jiang. Then, he carefully covered the two pheasants with some wild vegetables.

Jiang Wanwan felt a warm current flow through her heart as she listened to the words of the Hu family who were considering her feelings.

"Alright, let's go. This time, no one will be able to tell what good stuff we have in our baskets," Jiang He said with a satisfied smile.

Hu glanced at it, then patted Jiang He on the shoulder with a hearty laugh, "You're smart enough to know what's good for you!"

"Hehehe~" Jiang He scratched his head, looking a little dazed.

Hu turned to look at Jiang Wanwan, her smile never fading. "Wanwan, come on, let's go home. We just picked a lot of bamboo fungus. Your aunt will make you a delicious and sweet bamboo fungus chicken soup later."

Standing to the side, Madam Lu smiled and looked at Jiang Wanwan, "Wanwan, your aunt's cooking skills are the best in our family. Her chicken soup will definitely be delicious."

Jiang Wanwan thought of the greasy, throat-sore stuff and the bitter, yellow green vegetables from last night, and her lips twitched.

She had reason to suspect!

Hu immediately guessed what Jiang Wanwan was thinking. She explained somewhat embarrassedly, "Hehehe, last night doesn't count. Even a clever housewife can't cook without rice. It's just that we're poor and don't have any ingredients."

......

The group chatted as they descended the mountain.

Going up the mountain was easy, but going down was difficult. Because the mountain path was quite steep, going down was even harder than going up. Fortunately, Jiang Jiang was ahead of her and would help her when they encountered difficult sections, so they managed to descend the mountain safely.

At the foot of the mountain, we encountered many villagers from Dashui Village.

Like the Jiang family, they wanted to take advantage of the recent rain to go up the mountain to dig up some wild vegetables and pick some mushrooms to improve their family's meals.

"Hey, nephew's wife, you've had quite a haul!"

A woman's voice came from behind.

Jiang Wanwan paused for a moment, then turned to look behind her.

The man was around forty or fifty years old, with a slanted face and a pair of narrow, upturned eyes. His eyes, slightly upturned, revealed a hint of shrewdness and calculation.

Lu and Hu froze for a moment, and the group exchanged glances, a hint of disgust flashing in their eyes.

In the brief moment the group paused, the woman darted up behind them. Peeking into the baskets on Hu and the others' backs, she exclaimed, "Wow, you've certainly reaped quite a harvest!"

As the woman spoke, she reached out and grabbed into Jiang Jiang's basket.
