There were dozens of backpacks filled with pork in the village square.
The village chief called the village manager to discuss for a while, and finally decided to divide the three wild boars killed by the Xia family.
Three wild boars had about ten backpacks. As soon as the village chief finished speaking, many people in the village were unwilling to do so.
"What are you arguing about? Did you go up the mountain? Did you kill the pigs or carry them on your back? This isn't much for the Xia family. These are just the three wild boars they killed themselves."
The village chief's words made everyone look at Xia Manni who was standing next to them. No one reminded them and they really didn't notice who was standing there.
The torch shone on her body, and the villagers discovered that her clothes were covered in blood. Her hair was messy, and when she raised her eyes, she startled everyone else.
My goodness, this guy is a living devil.
Looking at Zhang Cuiling who went there with them, she was also a woman but she was not as embarrassed as Xia Manni.
"What? The daughter-in-law of the Xia family actually killed three wild boars?"
"I heard that she chopped it down with her eldest and second sons."
"That's incredible, wow..."
Although there were constant discussions in the square, no one questioned the ten baskets of pork that the Xia family had received.
Xia Manni didn't care or listen to how the division was done later. She went home with ten baskets of wild boars and four children.
After arriving home, Sanwa and Sinier were very sensible and started to boil water and cook for Xia Manni and the other two.
"Sanwa, Si Ni'er, stop working. I have no appetite. I'll cook for you guys. Boil some more hot water. I need to wash up."
She didn't just want to wash, she wanted to wash thoroughly, she felt like she was going to stink.
But when I think about the ten baskets of pork I got, I feel that it's all worth it.
At this time, she found that the eldest and second children had been silent since they came back from the square, so she called the two children over.
"Big Boy and Second Boy, are you two tired? If you are, take a shower and have a rest. You'll be fine tomorrow."
"Mom, I'm not tired. Don't we still have to clean up these pork later?" Da Wa didn't dare to look at Xia Manni when he spoke, but just kept saying that he was not tired and wanted to continue working.
If Da Wa hadn't reminded Xia Manni, she would have forgotten. She couldn't rest yet. She had to smoke all the pork. Although the temperature had dropped a lot now, putting so much pork together would definitely go bad the next day.
Oh, it turns out that having too much meat is also a kind of trouble.
"Wait, let's finish what we are saying first. If you and Erwa are not tired, why are you two so listless?" It was okay with Da Wa, after all, he had never been a very lively person, especially when there were many people around, he was basically calm.
Erwa is indeed a lively and active child. The more people are around him, the more he likes to show off.
Why are the two of them so quiet when they came back today?
"Yeah, big brother and second brother, we have so much pork at home, why aren't you smiling?"
After Sanwa finished speaking, Sinier also nodded. The eldest and second brothers were a little strange today.
Perhaps Xia Manni was too tired to remember what happened to the two children for a while.
"Mom, please scold me." After saying this, Big Boy actually wanted to kneel down.
"Mom, just scold me." Erwa didn't know what Dawa had done wrong, and why he had the same idea as him, so he knelt down too.
Sanwa and Sinier looked at each other, and they both knelt down at the same time.
Xia Manni: ...
"Mom, we wanted to kneel down too after seeing our eldest and second brothers kneel down..."
"Stop, stop, stop. What the hell is wrong with you guys? Boys and girls have golden knees. Get up and talk properly."
After Xia Manni finished speaking, she looked at Da Wa, meaning to let Da Wa get up.
"Mom, I was wrong. Please let me kneel down, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable..."
When Da Wa said this, Xia Manni was a little panicked. Was Da Wa doing something like murder or arson?
"Big Baby, tell me what you did first?"
"Mom, I shouldn't have gone to Cui Yanzi's house to deliver the note. I heard that she is now beaten by her husband and can't get off the bed. They also said that she might..." Da Wa wanted to say something, but Xia Manni stopped him.
She really didn't know about this matter. She just guessed that it might be related to Da Wa, but she didn't expect things to become so serious.
"Big Baby, although this incident was caused by you, it's not entirely because of you. The man has always beaten and scolded her. I heard that her husband has long been fed up with her."
She didn't have the heart to blame Da Wa at all. After all, the child was trying to teach Cui Yanzi a lesson for her sake.
Da Wa wanted to say something else, but Xia Manni helped him up and stopped him from continuing.
"Tell me about you, what's going on with you?" Only now did Xia Manni remember what trouble Erwa had caused.
"Mom, I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken people up the mountain without listening to you." Although Erwa said this, he didn't think he was wrong in his heart.
But he knew that his mother's body could not tolerate anger, so he thought about admitting his mistake first.
"Erwa, do you really think you are wrong? Have you ever thought about why your mother didn't let you go up the mountain?" Xia Manni was really angry when she talked about this. Erwa was definitely the bravest among the children.
"Mom, I..." He really hadn't thought about it, but just felt that he should be able to help by going up the mountain.
"Then why do you think Mother didn't let Sanwa go?"
"Sanwa is too young, and we have to take care of Sinier. Even if we go, we won't be able to help much..."
"Your thoughts are my thoughts, Erwa. I acknowledge your abilities, but you're not strong enough for us to trust right now. Besides, Sanwa and Sinier need you too. Not everyone who leads the charge is a hero; guarding the rear is crucial. If you're not assigned to lead the charge, it means you're not capable enough."
"If you do that again, mom will beat you to a pulp. You must change your reckless nature. Do you understand?" Although Erwa didn't think what his mother said was right, he still nodded obediently. He did ignore his younger brothers and sisters.
"Give me the stick..."
"Mom, here." Sanwa got up from the ground and quickly handed Xia Manni a stick.
"Mom, my second brother pushed me before he left." Sanwa said accusingly.
Erwa glared at Sanwa, and Xia Manni happened to see it, so he quickly lowered his head and dared not act rashly.
Xia Manni took the stick and hit Erwa's palm ten times, neither hitting hard nor lightly.
"Second child, I hit you this time because you disregarded the safety of your younger siblings and your own life. If anything happens to your eldest brother and me, at least you're still home. Do you understand?"
Erwa didn't shed a single tear even after Xia Manni hit him ten times.
"However, you also did something good. You knew to ask the capable kids you knew to go with you."
Unexpectedly, when Xia Manni said this, Erwa started crying.
