When passing by the fields, the villagers saw that the Liu family father and son had caught such a big sika deer. They didn't even have time to go to work. They dropped their work and followed the few people.
"Liu San'er, wow, you're so lucky to have managed to kill such a big deer!"
"Yeah, yeah, I've been up the mountain so many times, let alone hunting meat, even picking up a pheasant egg is pretty good."
"Third brother, you're amazing! Can you teach us how to hunt someday?"
…
The young and old men looked on with envy, while the old women felt both envy and jealousy.
Among those whose eyes turned red with jealousy were Er Laizi's mother, Old Lady Fan, and Nuan Bao's neighbor, Aunt Zhang.
"Hey, this is something from the mountain. It's considered the entire village's wealth. Old Liu, your family can't take it all for themselves!"
Mrs. Fan jumped out and stood in front of Nuan Ba and the others, her bulging frog-like eyes fixed on Lu Che.
"Yes, yes, Village Chief, you can't favor Old Man Liu just because he's your brother!"
Aunt Zhang stared at the plump butt of the sika deer with shining eyes and swallowed hard.
Emma, I have never eaten venison in my life. I don’t know what it tastes like. Is there anything like pork?
The villagers came here just to watch the fun, but after hearing what the two said, some of them actually started to have ideas.
"Yes! Yes! Village chief, since it's not your property, you should at least give some to us!"
"Well, we don't want more, just half a jin. A deer like this must weigh several jin at least, so it's not too much to give us half a jin! My wife is pregnant and needs more meat!"
"Well, you have to give half a pound to our family. My mother is so hungry that she's sick. With this half a pound of meat, her illness will definitely be cured."
......
"Bullshit! You two are still trying to save face. Now you say that the things on the mountain are collective property, then why don't you say that you are handing over collective property when you go up the mountain to dig vegetables and hunt wild animals? Old Lin's second son, I remember you caught a basket of river shrimp from the river fork a few days ago? And Zhang Wu, did you catch a pheasant from the back mountain yesterday? And Zhou Hu, Li Mazi..."
Before Second Grandpa could speak, Nuan's father opened his mouth and fired like a machine gun, spraying away anyone who showed up to try to get his meat.
"My family hasn't done anything in the mountains, so we can at least get a share of the meat, right?"
Er Laizi's wife, Old Lady Fan, looked very proud.
"Haha, old lady Fan, why haven't you ever gotten anything from the mountains? Are you really ignorant or are you pretending not to know? Every time your son doesn't eat in the mountains before returning home! I've seen it more than once!"
Nuanbao was speechless when he saw the self-deceiving look of this old lady Fan.
"What nonsense are you talking about! My Xiaobao wouldn't do that. He's the most filial child. Don't mess around and ruin his reputation. I don't care. If you don't share this meat with us tomorrow, I'll report you to the town!"
Mrs. Fan had made up her mind to get a piece of meat from the deer, and when she saw that Nuan's father refused to give in, she decided to use force.
Nuan's father laughed angrily, winked at grandpa, and the two of them put down the deer they were carrying.
"Go ahead and sue me! Oh, and by the way, tell them to tell their director that I'll be sending some venison to his house in the next few days to try."
When everyone heard this, they remembered that the Liu family was personally driven here by the town leader yesterday.
