Chapter 14 Humph, he is not easy to fool.



"Brother, we can't go any further."

Su Ning'an and Su Ningjie were less than a hundred meters away from Wufeng Mountain.

"Second brother, the culprit who hurt our father is still in Wufeng Mountain. Don't we want to avenge our father?"

Su Ningjie pulled Su Ning'an back and said, "Brother, I know you are strong, but you are still young and may not be able to defeat it. Let's take revenge when we grow up and let it live a few more days."

"I'm seven years old now, not five. I'm old enough to take revenge on it."

“Bang!”

Su Ning'an slapped the half-man-high rock in front of him with one palm.

In a moment of respite, a thin crack appeared in the rock.

Su Ningjie quickly stepped forward and kicked the rock lightly, breaking it into two pieces.

Su Ning'an said: "Second brother, I think I can beat it."

Su Ningjie looked at the two halves of rock in front of him and said, "Brother, that's a ferocious beast. It won't wait to be beaten like a rock. Let's go back. We have to be back before noon to cook for mother."

"Second brother, what do you think that is?"

Su Ningjie looked over, his eyes flashing with surprise, "Brother, there are still treasures to be found near Wufeng Mountain."

The two brothers quickly picked mushrooms and walked back with a basket of mushrooms on their backs.

Su Ning'an felt a little disappointed when he saw that he only chopped firewood and mushrooms today and did not dig any wild vegetables for his mother.

Mrs. Li and her husband, Wang Xiufang, saw the two brothers coming from the direction of Wufeng Mountain from afar.

Seeing that the two brothers had picked a full basket of mushrooms, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took half a day to dig up half a basket of wild vegetables.

We are so unlucky today. Two adults are no match for two children.

"Boss, where did you pick this from?"

"Grandma Li, it's over at Wufeng Mountain. You can go there. There are still some there."

If the basket hadn't been filled with firewood, both brothers would have picked it all.

Old Lady Li glanced at Wufengshan and instantly felt balanced.

"Big brother, second brother, you should avoid going to Wufeng Mountain. It's dangerous there. Now that you have your mother, she should be the one to worry about these things."

The Su family has no land to farm. As a rich lady, how could she go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and chop firewood? She probably doesn't even know what wild vegetables are.

Worrying about the daily food for the Su family, it won’t be long before the pampered daughter-in-law of the Su family can’t stand such a hard life. She will either die of exhaustion or run away. By then, won’t Xiao Xier be taken away by her?

Wang Xiufang quickly agreed, "Yes, eldest and second sons, look at my daughter Guiwa. I don't let her do any work. It's all done by her. Guiwa will go to school and pass the imperial examinations. Don't you want to study?"

We can’t let the eldest and second sons of the Su family continue to be so sensible. The daughter-in-law of the Su family will only become a shrew if she is exposed to the sun and rain and has endless housework to do.

Su Ningjie frowned, "Grandma Li, Aunt Wang, we just need our mother. We are used to doing these things. We would be uncomfortable if we didn't do them..."

Before Su Ningjie could finish his words, Su Ning'an rushed past him and caught a pheasant in the bushes in the distance. He shouted excitedly, "Second brother, mother can eat pheasant now."

"Brother, there's more!"

When Mrs. Li and Wang Xiufang saw five or six pheasants appearing in the bushes, they ran forward to catch them.

The arrival of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made the pheasant realize the danger and it fled in panic.

Suningan walked with his short legs, holding a pheasant in each hand, controlling the strength, knocking them unconscious and throwing them to Su Ningjie.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked together to catch a pheasant, but the pheasant escaped from their clutches with a leap.

In less than a moment, he fell into Suning'an's hands, and then he was knocked unconscious and fell into Suningjie's hands.

"Brother, let's go home quickly."

Su Ning'an picked up three of the pheasants and said, "Okay, mother will be very happy to see that we have caught six pheasants."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stopped the two brothers. Old Lady Li said, "Big Brother, Second Brother, we found these six pheasants together. Whoever sees them gets a share. Half of them are ours."

How could the two brothers of the Su family take all six pheasants?

Su Ningjie laughed angrily, "Grandma Li, the pheasants on this mountain are always owned by whoever catches them. If there is any pheasant discovery, it was my eldest brother who found it first. You can have three pheasants. Just exchange them for food."

Su Ningan came over and protected Su Ningjie behind him, "Grandma Li, we haven't settled the matter of you beating my sister last time. My sister's hand is still hurting."

Su Ningjie's eyes flashed, "Brother, let's go to the village chief to ask for an explanation. My sister can't love you in vain."

Old Lady Li didn't expect that the Su brothers would bring up old grudges. The village chief had always protected the Su brothers. Although she didn't hit that dead girl Su Ningxi, she couldn't explain herself to the village chief.

"Big brother, second brother, that's all a misunderstanding. Grandma Li, why would I hit Xiao Xier?"

A sly look flashed in Su Ningjie's eyes. "But my sister's hand still hurts. We need to see a doctor."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect that the Su brothers, who had not yet fully grown their hair, had learned to blackmail people.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiufang secretly cursed her mother-in-law: She is so useless.

Then she put on an understanding smile and said, "Second brother, it was just a misunderstanding that day. When we go back today, I'll give Xiao Xier some candy and cake. Let's just let it go. What do you think?"

"Brother, what do you think?"

Su Ning'an thought that his sister hadn't eaten sugar cake for a long time, and she must be very happy to eat sugar cake today.

"Aunt Wang, in that case, let's do as you say."

Wang Xiufang pursed her lips slightly. "Isn't it hard to coax a child? Just give him some sweet treats."

"Then let's not talk about this anymore."

"good."

Then the two brothers were about to go back carrying the six pheasants.

Old Lady Li hurriedly stopped them and said, "Big Brother, give us two pheasants and we'll give you a bag of sweet potatoes, okay?"

Without thinking, Su Ningjie held up three fingers and said, "Three bags of sweet potatoes half the height of a man, in exchange for two pheasants."

If you sell two pheasants to the village chief, you can at least get a large bowl of rice, a large bowl of flour, and a large bowl of millet. Do you want to get rid of them with just a bag of sweet potatoes?

Humph, he is not easy to fool.

When Mrs. Li heard this, her eyes darkened. She didn't expect that Su Ningjie, who was only six years old, was so calculating and would not suffer any loss.

Su Ningjie raised his eyebrows and said, "Grandma Li, if you want to exchange it, come to the Su family and get a pheasant."

Having said this, the two brothers turned and left.

Wang Xiufang hurriedly said, "Mom, Guiwa hasn't eaten pheasant meat for a long time."

Old Lady Li glared at Wang Xiufang. "How dare you say that? Who told you to take the initiative to send sweet cakes to Xiao Xi'er?"

Wang Xiufang suppressed her temper. "How can we settle this matter by not giving her the candy cakes? I know you didn't hit Xiao Xier. If she really goes to the village chief to make a scene, it won't be enough to just give her the candy cakes. Xiao Xier's lies will make us bleed profusely."

Old Lady Li gritted her teeth and said, "That damned girl is a liar. I'll find a chance to teach her a lesson later."

"Mom, do we still want to change to pheasant?"
