Old Man Wang proudly picked out the fattest part and took it home.
In the evening, the aroma of meat wafted from every household.
This time the meat was a pleasant surprise. Most families in the village had put away the meat that was distributed previously, or pickled it with salt to prepare for eating during the New Year.
No matter how heavy a wild boar is, each household can only get two or three pounds at most. This is for a large family, and each person will eat a few bites before it's gone.
So everyone was not stingy at all and just added extra meals to taste the meat and have some fun before the New Year.
Everyone in the village was happy, but Wang Jingxia was the only one who was in great pain. As soon as she got home, she lay on the bed and cried out in pain.
First, they dragged the wild boar out of the water, then carried it back, soaking wet. In the freezing weather, Wang Jingxia was completely drenched. Even though the sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, she was freezing.
A light breeze blew over, and the whistling cold air penetrated directly into the bone marrow.
In addition to forcibly carrying the wild boar, Wang Jingxia felt sore all over. She felt that the bones in her arms, back and legs were almost bent, and it was so painful that they creaked.
Her hands and feet were shaking as she walked home.
Old Lady Wang looked distressed, but she did not spare her:
"Serves you right! I told you to be so stubborn! It's not like the family didn't get their share of meat. Are you happy about being sick during the New Year?"
Old Man Wang said, "Okay, pick a piece of meat and chop it up to make some meat pie soup for Jingxia to nourish her."
Old Mrs. Wang was still cursing, but she walked into the kitchen honestly. Seeing her three daughters-in-law looking so happy at the sight of meat, she immediately felt unhappy about everything.
"What are you laughing at? Didn't you see your sister lying in bed for this wild boar? She was just looking at the meat. You didn't see your sister was upset, right?"
The three sisters-in-law were scolded so much that they dared not say a word, for fear that if their mother-in-law was unhappy, they would not have any share of the meat.
The eldest sister-in-law smiled awkwardly and stepped forward: "Mom, do you want to chop the meat? I'll do it! You go and take a rest."
The second sister-in-law turned around immediately, muttering:
"I'm going to give my little sister a massage so she can feel more relaxed."
The third sister-in-law quickly scooped up some flour: "Wild boar meat is tough and hard to stew. My little sister will be starving by the time it's done. I'll make her a bowl of noodles to fill her stomach first!"
Only then did Old Lady Wang's expression ease.
She did not spare her sons and scolded them:
"A few grown men at home don't work, and they don't even bother to pick up their sister. It's such a long journey, and she's all alone with several children, don't they worry about her? Look, they encountered a wild boar! You're lucky you got some meat, but if you were unlucky, you'd be dead—oh, it scares me just thinking about it!"
The more she talked, the more upset the old lady became:
"If you had gone to pick it up, your sister wouldn't be so tired! Damn it, you guys are just enjoying what's already available!"
Seeing her two grandchildren with embarrassed expressions on their faces, the old lady's expression softened instantly and her voice became softer.
"Erniu, Ergou, are you hungry? There are candies and cookies in the cupboard, help yourself, don't hesitate!"
She didn't blame her grandsons at all. They were still half-grown boys. It would be unreasonable to ask them to carry the wild boar!
Her daughter is strong enough after all, and if she carries it, she will at most feel sore for a few days. But if she asks her grandson to carry it, even if he can do it, he will get sick immediately.
The three brothers were scolded by their mother, but they didn't dare to refute her. After thinking about it, they felt that what their mother said made sense. If they went to pick her up, their sister would at least have to carry half the distance.
It would be easy for a few people to carry a wild boar, so they wouldn't be seen by the villagers and would not have to divide the pork.
Who would have thought that they would encounter wild boars on the road? But if they encountered a bad guy, they didn't have to worry at all, because their girls were very capable in fighting.
But the meat is really delicious.
Hua Erniu was still thinking about how to release the three wild boars. The immortal seemed to mean that the three wild boars were dead, but their meat was very fresh, just like when they died.
If the meat wasn't released, they brothers and sisters wouldn't be able to finish it, and it would be gone in a month. But if it was released... they wouldn't be able to finish it anyway.
But my grandfather has a big family, so they can always consume more by pickling them. Besides, he and Ergou can't slaughter the wild boar!
The gods were still very tolerant and allowed him to make up any way of death, and the wild boars he released would have traces of the corresponding death.
At night, Hua Erniu quietly put the wild boar in the yard, and the system humanely turned the scene into a tragic scene of being hit by a wild boar.
The Wang family only heard a loud "Ah!" followed by a thud and then silence, and they quickly got up to check.
When they entered the yard, several people gasped when they saw the wild boar.
"Fortunately, our walls are strong. Three wild boars would have nearly broken our house down!"
Old Man Wang checked and said, "They were all killed."
Brother Wang: "Isn't this guy here to seek revenge for that guy?"
Brother Wang Er: "I think so, otherwise why would three of them come at once?"
Hua Erniu quietly peeked out and asked, "Should we report this to the captain?"
Old Man Wang said cheerfully, "Silly boy, no one noticed, why report it? Everyone saw it before. If you hadn't asked the team leader to divide it up, the team members might not say anything, but who knows what they might do behind your back!"
Third Brother Wang was delighted: "We can't eat all these wild boars. Let's secretly drag them to the black market and sell them!"
Old Man Wang nodded and said, "We'll keep half for our family and sell the rest."
Normally, the Wang family would also catch some mountain products in the mountains and sell them on the black market. Farmers had little income, and apart from making a little hard-earned money by selling vegetables, they could only secretly resell mountain products.
As long as no one finds out, everyone keeps it a secret.
