Chapter 143: Brothers, let’s go tomorrow morning?

After spending a few days together in the mountains, Su Mei's brothers saw how well Huo Jianguo took care of Su Mei, and also saw Huo Jianguo's abilities. The Su family became more and more satisfied with Huo Jianguo, their son-in-law.

When she carried the meat back to the village, the villagers gathered around to watch the fun and praised Su Mei for being so lucky to have found a good man.

The meat was divided equally among Su Mei's brothers, while Huo Jianguo asked Fa Xiao to sell the bear's internal organs and skin.

Huo Jianguo handed all the money back to Su Mei. He said:

"This money was earned by my brothers. You can use it to repair our house and improve our living conditions. You don't have to worry about my mother's opinion!"

It was not until Su Mei received the money from Huo Jianguo that she realized that Huo Jianguo took his brothers out hunting not only to get some meat, but also to help her family.

That day he said he wanted to help her family build a house, but she rejected Huo Jianguo's kindness because she was worried that her mother-in-law would find fault with her if she used Huo Jianguo's money to build the house.

Su Mei thought that the matter was over, but she didn't expect that Huo Jianguo had been thinking about it and had been secretly making plans for it.

This was Huo Jianguo's intention, and it was also the result of the joint efforts of his brothers. Su Mei naturally had no reason to refuse.

She took advantage of the rush to go to the market, found a state-owned brick factory, bought some red bricks, and some black tiles for building houses.

Su Mei didn't have much money, so she bought these things mainly to renovate the old house. She didn't have the money to pursue the appearance of the house now, but she just hoped that her parents and grandfather could have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

After buying all the things, Su Mei notified her brothers to bring their tools and move them.

Bai Xiaofang was very angry when she found out that her daughter used the money from selling bear entrails and bear bile to buy materials. She felt that her family was already poor, and Su Mei was marrying up by marrying Huo Jianguo. She should save more money so that she could speak with confidence.

I shouldn't spend money on my parents' home anymore.

But the money had already been spent, and no matter how distressed Su Mei's family was, they could do nothing.

The brothers collectively took leave and began to move materials into the village to renovate the old yard at home.

While the Su brothers were repairing the house, the Huo family also sent a letter to Huo Jianguo, asking him to bring Su Mei back to the Huo family for a reunion on New Year's Eve.

Although Su Mei was reluctant to go to the Huo's house, Huo Jianguo's parents were there after all. No matter how unlikable they were, they were the ones who gave birth to Huo Jianguo. Su Mei didn't want to make things difficult for Huo Jianguo, so she obediently packed up some game and followed Huo Jianguo back to the Huo's house.

Because it was New Year's Eve, the village was on holiday and every household celebrated the New Year at home.

Bai Xiaofang ignored Su Mei's objection and bought a lot of things for Su Mei and carried them back to her husband's home.

When the couple arrived home, all the Huo family members, young and old, were sitting together in the small house in the main hall. Seeing Huo Jianguo bringing something back, Cheng Erxi stood up from the bench and started to pick and choose things and look through them.

After reading it, Cheng Erxi threw a piece of meat aside and pursed his lips slightly:

"I heard that the third brother killed a big bear for Su Mei's mother's family. The bear must have 600 kilograms of meat. It was divided among Su Mei's five brothers, so each of them got more than 100 kilograms of meat.

With such a large family, we only received 30 kilograms of meat from the commune, which could be eaten up by the New Year. Unfortunately, we are not as lucky as Su Mei, who has such a generous son-in-law as the third brother.

Later, my younger sister must be smart when she gets married, marry someone generous, so that we can enjoy the happiness too~"

He was being weird for a long time, just because he was dissatisfied with Huo Jianguo for bringing too little meat to the Huo family.

Everyone in the village knew that Huo Jianguo had hunted a big bear, but all the meat went to the Su family, and when it came to the Huo family, there was only a little meat scraps. Cheng Erxi felt sad when he thought about it.

"I didn't kill the bear. Su Mei's brothers set a trap to catch it. I'm not at home all year round and I'm not familiar with the terrain in the mountains. If it weren't for my brothers, I wouldn't have found the bear.

I just provided a little advice. It was you brothers who did all the hard work, so how can you claim the bear as mine? If you are not happy, let your brother kill it for you!" Although Huo Jianguo seemed to be replying to Cheng Erxi, he was actually speaking more to Liu Cuiyun.

He was afraid that his mother would have an opinion on this matter.

Liu Cuiyun did have some opinions. Although she did not explicitly say that Huo Jianguo should give some of the meat to the Huo family, she still complained about Huo Jianguo:

"You called Su Mei's brothers, why didn't you call your own two brothers? It's not the busy farming season now, the eldest and the second oldest are free, they can definitely help!"

The effort is fake, the real purpose is to get a share of the meat.

It’s not like Huo Jianguo hadn’t thought about calling his two brothers to go into the mountains together, but his two brothers, the eldest one is a coward and the second one is a cunning one.

The two followed him into the mountain, one was terrified and pale, the other was always looking for opportunities to slack off, he didn't know whether he was there to help or to cause trouble.

Compared with Su Mei's brothers, my two brothers are nothing.

Hunting bears is very dangerous. None of the brothers-in-law retreated. They all worked together with forks to deal with the big bear that fell into the trap.

Their success in subduing the big bear was not only due to Huo Jianguo's wisdom, but also to the diligence and bravery of Su Mei's brothers.

If it were his two brothers, Huo Jianguo felt that if he took Huo Jiandang and Huo Jianjun with him, he would encounter three bears in the forest, a brown bear, and two frightened bears...

Although he complained about his two brothers in his heart, Huo Jianguo did not show it at all:

"I am worried that my two brothers will suffer. Our family has my allowance as a subsidy, so we can get by. There is no need to take risks in the mountains. If you don't treat the big bear well, it will eat you.

If you really want to go, I will take you there after the Chinese New Year. If we three brothers work together, we can accomplish great things.

Don't be afraid. Even if you lose the fight, it doesn't matter. The bear's paws are very big and it can knock your head off with one slap. It won't hurt at all. Eighteen years later, you can be a brave man again!

Big Brother, Second Brother, shall we go there tomorrow morning?"
