They had a subjective aversion to the people of Huangjiakou.
If it weren't for the subsequent false accusations, things might have taken a turn for the better. If someone had succumbed to temptation, they might not have been able to resist once the storm had passed.
Unfortunately, Chief Huang was too eager for quick success and instant benefits, which put him at a disadvantage. Not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but his entire family also suffered losses.
Jiang Nuan felt that, if her intuition was correct, the power structure that Huangjiakou had maintained for hundreds of years would be reshuffled because of this incident.
"Don't worry, Mother," these words instantly heightened Wang's vigilance. She patted her chest and gritted her teeth to assure him, "I will definitely keep a close eye on my husband and make sure he doesn't do anything foolish."
If my husband is as treacherous as the clan leader, my whole family, young and old, will have no way to survive.
Thinking of this, a thought suddenly arose in her mind: it's actually quite good for my husband to be in Juquan Tower, at least he doesn't have to live in fear.
When the group returned home, it was already past noon, and the Huang brothers came back with them.
“Mom,” he said, just as he sat down, he remembered something serious. “Oh no, no one in our family is going to work today.”
“It’s nothing,” Jiang Nuan explained. “Only a small part of the village went. Our Xiao Liu wasn’t there, so your grandfather had to pick them up in two separate trips. This happened as soon as he got back.”
"That's good," Huang Lao Er stood up. "Mother, you two go about your business, I'm going to work."
After saying that, she glanced at her younger brother and said, "Xiao San, you come too. I'm half a day late, let's catch up on the work together."
The elders all came to help with the work, but he shirked his responsibilities for a long time, feeling embarrassed no matter what.
"What should we do about Mother? We still need to bring her food later."
"Xiao Liu is smart and knows the way. And you have your brother Lai Zi, so don't worry. You two go on your way."
"Alright, Mother, we're off."
After speaking, they glanced at their respective wives before striding away.
Not long after the two left, Xiao Si and Xiao Pang returned, sweating profusely as they pushed their wheelbarrows back.
"Mom, look what good stuff we've gotten!" Huang Xiaosi couldn't help but shout as soon as they reached the door.
"What good stuff?" Mrs. Jin peeked out from behind the door. "Where did you two go to buy meat? Why are you only coming back now?"
"We've eaten all kinds of chicken, duck, fish and meat, so we wanted to try something special," Huang Xiaosi chuckled. "We heard someone hunted a deer in Qianjiadian, so we went there."
After Huang Xiaosi finished speaking, he proudly lifted the oilcloth, "Look, this is the one. It weighs 120 jin in total. I heard that deer blood is especially nutritious, but unfortunately, the owner keeps it for himself and refuses to sell it."
What Huang Xiaosi didn't say was that even if someone sold it, he wouldn't have the money to buy it.
This deer cost more than four ounces. The money Jiang Nuan gave wasn't enough, so they added a lot of their own pocket money.
"It's venison!" Mrs. Jin looked at the two of them in surprise. "This is a good thing."
I don't know where those two guys heard the news, but they actually managed to buy such a sought-after item.
"Huh?" Madam Xie came out of the kitchen. "You two bought venison?"
This is a rare find; even experienced hunters, without luck, don't have an easy time catching it.
The two pushed the cart into the yard, and Huang Xiaosi began to complain, "The money my mother gave us wasn't enough, so we added more than two ounces of money. We pushed the cart for six miles to bring the things back. We're exhausted."
"Thank you for your hard work, our heroes," Xie said with a smile, handing over two stools. "Sit down and rest. We'll cook something nice for you all later, so you can eat more and nourish yourselves."
