Chapter 73 Reason 2
Boss Ning knew that Ning Jing needed to sleep after every hunting trip and looked very tired.
Ningjing was very touched. If others knew she had this ability, they would definitely let her hunt more and earn more meat for the family.
After all, meat is quite precious now. A wild boar can be sold for hundreds of dollars or exchanged for a lot of things.
But Boss Ning was thinking about her body.
Boss Ning didn't hear Ning Jing's answer, and thought that it must have an impact on her body, otherwise her sister wouldn't sleep for so long. Normally, people only need to sleep for eight hours, but this time her sister slept for more than ten hours.
He put his hands on Ningjing's shoulders and said, "Okay, sister, don't go hunting anymore. Big brother can support you."
Ning Jing looked up at Boss Ning and said, "Brother, it won't have any impact. Although I will sleep after hunting, my abilities are overdrawn.
I need to sleep. Every time I overdraw, when I wake up, I can vaguely feel that this ability will gradually increase.
So, big brother, please let me go hunting."
Boss Ning looked at Ning Jing seriously, trying to see something in her eyes, but found that they were still clear, without any sign of force.
In fact, Ning Jing didn't say one thing. She could feel that it was okay to hunt some ordinary prey, but not rare animals.
In the morning, Grandma Ning made meat buns, yesterday's bones, and a plate of shredded potatoes to cleanse the stomach. She had only eaten meat these days, so she made a vegetarian dish.
Ningjing ate a lot of shredded potatoes. It is true that scarcity makes things valuable. I have only eaten meat these days, and I feel that shredded potatoes are really delicious.
After the meal, Grandma Ning, as the head of the family, thanked Li Dadan and Li Dachuan for their help yesterday and discussed how to divide the meat.
Li Dabao was the first to speak out, "Aunt Ning, I don't want it! If I eat enough, my whole family won't be hungry. If you really want to give it to me, I won't do it! Just let me come and eat from time to time. I have lost weight since you left for town four years ago."
Grandma Ning laughed and scolded: "How dare you! You still have no integrity. Come on, just eat for free like before!"
Li Dabing was so happy that he said, "I wouldn't trade it for the emperor to have the food cooked by my aunt!"
Li Dadan decided to go back and pack up and bring all his food with him...
Li Dachuan thought for a moment and said, "Grandma Ning, my house collapsed and is temporarily uninhabitable, so I don't want it anymore. I'm shamelessly asking you to take me and my sister in."
Grandma Ning said, "Dachuanzi, even if you didn't tell me, I would have taken you and my younger sister in."
Grandma Ning looked at the twelve wild boars outside and became worried. They could still eat one, but what should they do with so many?
The mountains are now blocked by heavy snow, so it’s impossible to sell them like last time.
"Grandma, how many people are there in our village?"
"There are thirty-six households in total, about two to three hundred people. What's wrong, dear?"
"Grandma, it snowed heavily again last night. Dachuanzi's house collapsed under the snow the day before yesterday, and it snowed all day..."
"Sister!" Boss Ning interrupted Ning Jing and continued.
Boss Ning knew Ning Jing wanted to share the meat with the villagers, and it was out of kindness. But if the villagers knew that his family had so much meat, even if he gave it all away, some people would still think that his family was borrowing it from time to time...
Everyone at the table was silent. Meat was such a rare commodity these days.
When someone comes to borrow money, they will lose money if they lend it to them, but they will offend others if they don’t lend it to them.
Although it is not snowing now, the day is still gloomy. Who knows when the snow will stop falling.
