Seeing that his sister and brother-in-law were about to leave, Li Minghui quickly wiped the oil and blood off his hands, picked up two wild boar piglets, and stuffed them into Li Xiujuan's arms.
"Brother, you really don't need to."
"Just take it. Why are you being so particular about your own sister? If you don't take it, it means you're upset that I didn't give you any meat." With this threat, Li Xiujuan and Lin Fusheng hurriedly grabbed the wild boar cubs and ran away as if they were being chased by dogs.
"Brother, you're so generous. This isn't even a gift from me, so you're not being polite at all."
"Eldest son, second son, the wild boar was hunted by you two. The two families will split it in two. Whether you sell it or keep it is up to you." Old Mrs. Li glanced at her sarcastic second daughter-in-law, Zhang Dandan, who shrank back like a quail.
"I plan to take it to town tonight to sell and exchange it for some grains. I'm worried that the locust infestation today will cause grain prices in Qingning Town to rise tomorrow." Li Minghui said, taking his half of the wild boar meat, cutting off ten jin with a knife, and carrying the rest on his shoulder.
Li Minghuang followed suit, cutting a few extra pounds of meat, and left with Li Minghui.
Zhang Dandan couldn't stop her even when she called out. When she saw her sister-in-law looking over, she could only curse inwardly. This stupid old man only knows how to follow his brother and doesn't even know how to discuss it with her. He believes the eldest brother when he says the price of grain is going up? He might get sold out and still be counting money for the seller.
After her two sons left, Old Mrs. Li beckoned her two daughters-in-law into the house. Compared to the second daughter-in-law's resentment, the eldest daughter-in-law was much more perceptive and noticed something amiss. She asked in a low voice, "Mother, is there something you want to say?"
"Tonight, pack up all your belongings. Tomorrow, our whole family will move south."
“Mother, are you getting senile? Qing’er has just gotten engaged, and we’re about to build a new house and have the wedding at the end of the year. If we move south now, all our previous efforts will be wasted. I know you’re worried about the locusts today, but it’s not that serious. There are still officials above us.” Zhang Dandan felt more and more wise as she spoke, and her face became increasingly smug.
"I think you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."
"Anyway, I've made my decision today. Whether you like it or not is up to you, but I'm taking all of my Li family members with me."
"Mother, you're being unreasonable! My husband and children are all gone, so what's the point of me staying?" Zhang Dandan cried angrily. Old Mrs. Li ignored her and turned to instruct her eldest daughter-in-law, Liu Yinxiu.
"Pick out the useful things to pack. When the eldest son comes back, have him take a few pounds of coarse grains and two pounds of meat to your parents' place."
"Thank you, Mother." Liu Yinxiu was very grateful for Li Laotai's arrangement. Zhang Dandan, on the other hand, was very resentful when she saw that Li Laotai treated her differently. Thinking of the wild boar piglets that her mother and Li Xiujuan had taken, she took advantage of the fact that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not paying attention and stole the remaining three wild boars back to her parents' home.
Lin Zhaozhao slept very soundly. The first thing she did upon waking was to check her account balance. After seeing that it had exceeded six figures and that she wasn't dreaming, Lin Zhaozhao clicked on the shopping interface.
Having already stockpiled food, her next target was baby and women's products.
50 cans of milk powder, 20 packs each of S, M, L, and XL diapers, ten baby bottles, ten sets each of underwear and seasonal clothing, as well as baby bibs, baby powder, baby wash, kettle, etc. When Lin Zhaozhao clicked on the kettle, her finger paused slightly. She added a solar generator and a power strip, and later bought a rice cooker and a pot.
Because of the frequent orders, the password-free payment interface kept popping up at checkout. It was just as troublesome as Pinduoduo. At first, Lin Zhaozhao would always click "decline," but later she got annoyed and simply clicked "agree," thinking that she would turn off password-free payment after she finished stocking this batch of goods.
The cabin was filled with baby supplies. Lin Zhaozhao then placed orders with a specific purpose: bedding for pregnant women, disposable underwear, postpartum belly bands, essential toilet paper and sanitary napkins, as well as underwear, socks, thermal underwear, quilts, down jackets, and so on.
With the wooden house filled with goods, Lin Zhaozhao felt a great sense of accomplishment and was about to continue expanding the space when she heard a noise outside. It was Lin Fusheng and Li Xiujuan returning.
