Winter passed and spring came, the earth revived, wild grasses and vegetables bloomed everywhere, and the Golden Cudgel brought his group of squirrel cubs to Yan Xiaonan's house.
Yan Xiaonan patted the head of the golden cudgel, "It's really powerful."
Zhongnan also brought his wolf cubs down the mountain. He's now used to sneaking in through the dog hole at night.
Yan Xiaonan glanced at the wolf cub, then at Zhongzi. Zhongzi was quite something, showing no fear of Zhongnan and even barking at him to scare him away.
Zhong Nan was so angry he wanted to bite him to death, but due to Yan Xiaonan's authority, Zhong Nan could only hold his anger and ask Yan Xiaonan to pay attention to his son.
Yan Xiaonan took a closer look at the wolf cub, and it really was a successor to the wolf king, or rather, a successor wolf.
This little wolf cub already possesses the calm and steadfast composure of a wolf king.
He ignored Zhongzi's cries, only staring intently at Yan Xiaonan with his wolf-like eyes, which were filled with tears.
Yan Xiaonan was startled. "What the heck is that look?"
They chased Zhongnan and the wolf cub away because Zhongzi was too restless, constantly barking at Zhongnan and the cub, giving the family a headache.
As Zhongnan left, he gave Zhongzi a fierce look, but Zhongzi showed no fear and made a gesture to prepare for battle, which made Yan Xiaonan's eyes twitch.
Zhongnan, that scumbag father, met Zhongzi, that scumbag son—a pair of clowns.
Northwest finally graduated from high school, and the university entrance exams closed as scheduled. Northwest was secretly pleased, as he still wanted to work in a factory.
Tang Jianjun had already found a way to buy Southwest a permanent job at a furniture factory in town.
It was a craftsman who was about to retire, but he had no son and his daughter couldn't do carpentry, so he had to sell her.
The price, which was originally 300, has been raised to 350 because someone else is bidding against it.
Without hesitation, Tang Jianjun paid the full 350 yuan in one go and went to the factory to secure a job a week after graduating from Southwest University.
The factory's experienced workers gave Southwest a piece of wood and asked him to show it to them.
After completing a series of processes such as planing, sawing, chiseling, mortising, and gluing, Southwest was recognized by the experienced craftsmen and became a formal worker in the furniture factory.
Tang Xiaoling took a job as a handyman, which meant chopping vegetables and washing dishes in the canteen and cleaning up on the construction site.
The wedding date in Southwest was set for the end of July, when the busy farming season would be over and people could go back to work at the factory.
Yan Xiaoqiang took Southwest to the county town once to buy a watch for Southwest and Xiaoling, but he didn't have any ration coupons, so he could only ask the Zhao brothers for help.
Tang Jianjun and his wife also arrived in town. They wanted to prepare a dowry for Tang Xiaoling. The family was not short of money now, so they couldn't let their daughter suffer.
Yan Xiaonan is now running all over the mountains, picking ginseng and gathering lingzhi mushrooms. There are just too many good things in the mountains.
Tiger King spent his days running all over the mountains with Yan Xiaonan, and Zhongnan's position was completely replaced by Zhongzi. There was no way around it; Zhongnan was already a wolf pack and was usually very busy.
Sometimes the Golden Cudgel would find unusual wild fruits or mushrooms and take Yan Xiaonan to pick them. Everything the Golden Cudgel found was a good thing.
Grandma Yan has become immune to Yan Xiaonan bringing back baskets full of good things every day. Her precious child has grown up and wants to run up the mountain, so let her run.
The girls in the village both hated Yan Xiaonan to the core and envied him immensely.
How come this wild girl who runs all over the mountains wasn't dragged away by the tiger? And what's with her skin? It's always so white.
If they cursed, they were afraid of being beaten; if they fought, they definitely couldn't win, because someone saw Yan Xiaonan carrying two pheasants down the mountain alone—he was only eight years old.
Meanwhile, all the boys of roughly the same age in the village were eyeing Yan Xiaonan. Such a beautiful girl, and the treasure of the Yan family, whoever married her would be marrying a gold ingot.
As a result, the girls hated Yan Xiaonan even more, and the vile things they said behind his back gradually began to circulate.
Two days before Southwest's wedding, Yan Xiaoqiang, along with Bei Nan, Nan Nan, Southwest, Cuihua, and Grandma Yan, kicked open the gate to Wang Gou Dan's house.
Wang Gou Dan looked at Yan Xiaoqiang with a puzzled expression, his legs already feeling weak. "Brother Qiang, what's wrong?"
Yan Beinan found Wang Erniu hiding behind the door of the main room and pulled him out.
He punched Wang Erniu in the face: "When did you sleep with my sister? You'd better tell me properly today."
Rumors were circulating throughout the village that Yan Xiaonan had been slept with by Wang Erniu, and that she would be his wife from now on.
Others nodded in confirmation, saying they had personally witnessed Wang Erniu and Yan Xiaonan crawling through the haystack.
Even a bodhisattva like Yan Xiaonan was angered. She ran to the kitchen, grabbed a cleaver, and was about to go and fight the Wang family when Yan Xiaoqiang stopped her.
"Dad will take you there and give those beasts a good beating. Southwest, go to the village chief's house and tell him to go to the Wang family. Let's go."
So the Yan family kicked down the Wang family's door in a grand procession, and the nosy villagers began to gather around.
Bei Nan delivered punch after punch, and the fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy was already showing some strength.
Wang Erniu was beaten so badly he couldn't fight back. He covered his head and yelled, "It was Da Niu who said that I never slept with Yan Xiaonan!"
Wang Daniu was furious. She rushed out and kicked Da Niu twice: "You coward! You said you liked Yan Xiaonan, that's why I thought of saying that."
Yan Xiaonan walked up and kicked Wang Daniu in the butt, sending her stumbling forward and landing right on chicken droppings, getting her face and mouth covered in them.
The villagers outside laughed heartily; the Wang family had long since lost their reputation among them.
The village chief and Aunt Ma arrived just in time to witness Yan Xiaonan's kick. Aunt Ma was genuinely pleased; she thought, "What a wonderful girl."
Wang Daniu was kicked in pain by Wang Daniu and couldn't help but yell, "You like Bei Nan and want to exchange spouses, so you came up with this way to harm Yan Xiaonan."
The crowd was in an uproar. This girl was only fourteen years old, yet she was already so cunning. Not only was she willing to ruin Yan Xiaonan's reputation, but she was also dragging her brother into it.
Grandma Yan's hands trembled with anger. How could she let this wicked girl, who had such a heart of stone, ruin her reputation?
Looking around, he saw a broom used for sweeping the yard, picked it up, and started whipping it at Wang Daniu.
"I'll beat you to death, you shameless thing! You're such a young girl and you're already thinking about men! I'll beat you to death, you shameless brat! My Bei Nan would rather not have a wife than have you."
This was the first time the villagers had ever seen Grandma Yan lose her temper. Her fierce and menacing demeanor, as if she were about to beat someone to death, terrified the villagers into silence.
Wang Daniu was first dizzy from the fall, then her whole body ached from the slap, and she began to curse without restraint:
