Liang Shuyan finally saw things clearly. Now some people in the village were envious of her making money. Jiao Shi was just the first to stick her neck out. If she wanted to keep these women quiet, she had to find them something to do so they wouldn't cause trouble.
Zhang put the clothes her mother-in-law had bought for her into the closet and hid them. Right now, she was busy cooking in the kitchen. She had just bought pork, and she cut it up and soaked it in salt water.
A shout from outside interrupted Liang Shuyan's thoughts.
Not far away, her family's big black dog really swaggered over with a wolf. At this time, the villagers in the yard had not yet left. When they saw this scene, they were all stunned and froze on the spot.
Jin Wang was frightened by Da Hei last time, so this time, he was the first to shout loudly: "Well, I say, sister-in-law, your Da Hei is a wolf, but you insist on calling it a wolfhound. Now, well, it's with a female wolf. What does that mean?"
"You're talking nonsense. If Dahei were a wolf, how come our family is all right? Dahei hasn't harmed any of the chickens, ducks, or livestock in the village. Don't spout nonsense here."
At this moment, Dahei saw a lot of people in the yard, and began to bar its teeth and pounce on the crowd, which immediately scared Ge Lao Er's son so much that he fainted.
Jin Wang added fuel to the fire again: "Sister-in-law, did you see that? You still say it's not a wolf, but it pounced on us. Now even Ge Lao Er's son has fainted from fright. You, you still have the nerve to say it's not a wolf?"
Someone in the crowd started shouting: "No, Aunt Dashan, we can't keep this thing. We have to strangle this wolf right now. How can there be wolves in Daling Village? If this happens, how can any of us dare to go out?"
“That’s right, Lizheng, we absolutely cannot go along with Aunt Dashan’s wishes any longer. If someone gets hurt, it might be too late to execute the wolf then!”
"You, you're going too far! What did my Dahei do to deserve this? Let me tell you, Dahei must have seen so many strangers in the house before it pounced on them. Besides, Dahei didn't hurt the child!"
Erniu and Sanwang rushed forward and hugged Dahei. Another female wolf who was with Dahei also came over and rubbed her head against Erniu and Sanwang from time to time.
"That's right, you all saw it. This wolf is indeed a friend of our Big Black, but as long as we don't hurt them, they will never hurt us!"
Sanwang and Erniu tightly protected Dahei and the wolf behind them!
Liang Shuyan then stepped forward and said, "Please believe me, my dog Dahei would never hurt anyone. This wolf is just Dahei's friend. As long as we don't hurt it, it will protect us humans and become a good friend to us. Please don't make things difficult for me!"
Li Zheng stared at Da Shan Niang with his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Da Shan Niang, things have already come to this point, and the villagers also want to get rid of these two wolves, so please don't make things difficult for me!"
Liang Shuyan didn't know how to explain to Li Zheng, so Li Lanfang came out of the house at this time: "Don't worry, our Dahei and this wolf are just protecting our family. As long as they have no ill intentions towards our family, they won't hurt you. But if some people want to enter our house and have bad intentions towards our family, then you will see that not only the two wolves, but all the wolves in Daling will come!"
"Mother, don't talk nonsense. I know you're at my sister-in-law's house now and you're siding with her, but this wolf must be eliminated!"
Among the crowd, several strong men even picked up ropes and sticks, ready to attack the big black wolf and the mother wolf. At this moment, the mother wolf let out a long howl, and in no time, the wolves of Daling rushed over, howling with murderous intent, as if they wanted to devour all of them.
"Do you think we should still attack Big Black and this wolf now? If you want to live, you'd better leave my yard immediately. If I can't stop them today, and these wolves attack, you won't even have any bones left. Do you believe me?"
Jiao hugged her son tightly, baring her teeth and saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think these wolves will listen to you? Do you think you're a she-wolf?"
The mother wolf in the middle of the yard seemed to understand Jiao's words and pounced on her immediately.
Jiao was so frightened that she ran away in a panic, even losing her shoes, her lips trembling uncontrollably: "Sister-in-law, save me!"
Liang Shuyan walked over, gently stroked the mother wolf's head, and whispered, "Since you're good friends with our Dahei, don't hurt people. Tell your wolf pack to leave quickly!"
The mother wolf howled again, and surprisingly, the pack scattered in a flurry.
Li Zheng looked surprised: "Let's go! We'd better leave Da Shan's house quickly! If it weren't for Da Shan's mother's pleas for help, we would all be meat in the wolf's belly by now!"
The plump auntie curiously leaned closer: "Grandma Dashan, tell me, what exactly did you say to the mother wolf that made them back down?"
"I just told the mother wolf to quickly disperse the pack and not to hurt people! And they left!"
"If the mountain woman can talk to wolves, can wolves understand human speech?"
Liang Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief: "Actually, whether it's an animal or a human, they are all emotional beings. Animals just can't speak. As long as we treat them sincerely, they are more grateful and sentimental than some people!"
Li Zheng finally understood. This mountain woman was truly an extraordinary person. She could say such things, and even the wolves listened to her. Who would dare to offend her? Offending her would be the same as offending the wolf pack of Daling.
"Alright, in that case, we won't bother you any longer. Big Mountain Mother, you'd better keep Big Black tied up so he doesn't run around the village!"
"Okay, thank you, Lizheng!"
The people in the yard left, but the mother wolf wagged her tail and left. Big Black just looked at the mother wolf with a pair of reluctant eyes.
Erniu stepped forward and hugged Dahei tightly, then chained Dahei up.
Liang Shuyan wanted to clear some wasteland on the back mountain and plant potatoes. This way, she wouldn't run out of ingredients to make jelly. In ancient times, people only thought of potatoes as something to be cooked and eaten, without any other thoughts. But Liang Shuyan felt that potatoes were a treasure trove. The reason why ancient people didn't like potatoes was because they didn't see their value.
In ancient times, potatoes were small and scarce, and their starch content was low. Liang Shuyan wanted to use the system to re-examine and improve potato seeds to increase yield. In this way, they could be made into jelly in the summer and vermicelli in the winter, making them a delicious dish on the dinner table all year round.
"I'm going to sell them! Xiaoshan and Xiaoyu are my children, it's not up to you to decide!" A sharp woman's voice came from next door!
