Upon seeing this, Lu Zhimin felt relieved and said, "It's alright. This pheasant was stung by a bee, probably a wasp, which is why it was so powerful and stung the pheasant unconscious."
Yun Duo's eyes lit up. She really hadn't expected that Lu Zhimin could recognize that the pheasant had been stung by a bee. Her eyes were full of admiration as she sincerely said, "Uncle Village Chief is really amazing!" As she spoke, she gave Lu Zhimin a thumbs up.
Seeing Yun Duo's unwavering 'trust' in him, Lu Zhimin was quite pleased. He smiled and said, "The village chief's chickens were stung by bees once, and they looked like this." Remembering that Yun Duo had said she would give him one, he added, "The village chief has several chickens, so they have meat to eat. There's no need to give one to the village chief."
Yun Duo shook her head and said in a child's tone, "It's not just for Uncle Village Chief; it's to thank him for his help."
Just then, a very abrupt voice interrupted.
"You really found a pheasant? Oh, and so many wild eggs too! Yunduo, you're in for a treat tonight. But you just moved here, so you don't have all the necessary equipment, making it inconvenient to cook. I'll take them to our place and have my mom cook them."
"Let's stew this pheasant with corn. We just happened to have planted two plots of early corn. Let's go look in the field and we should be able to find some tender corn that's ready to eat. We also have wild eggs, so let's stir-fry them with chives. I'll have my mom cook some rice too. You don't need to bring any food over. We're all family. I'll talk to my mom, and she'll listen to me."
As Yun Wansheng spoke, he swallowed hard. After walking up to them, he said to Lu Zhimin, "Uncle Village Chief, why don't you come to our house for dinner with my brother Haiyang and brother Haijun? Oh, right, it's rare to have meat. Uncle Village Chief, please invite Xiaobing too. He's just a kid, he can't eat much."
As he spoke, Yun Wansheng bent down to pick up the straw bag that Lu Zhimin had taken out and placed on the ground, which Yun Duo had haphazardly put out to collect wild eggs.
Yun Duo was truly stunned by Yun Wansheng's shamelessness. When she saw him reach for the wild eggs she had picked up, she realized what was happening and hurriedly said loudly, "Put them down, they're not for you." As she spoke, she tried to snatch the straw bag.
With her small arms and legs, Yun Duo's movements were naturally no match for Yun Wansheng's. Not only did she fail to grab the straw bag for the wild eggs, she also almost tripped and fell. If Lu Zhimin hadn't caught her in time, she probably would have really fallen to the ground.
Seeing the wild eggs being held in Yun Wansheng's hand, Yun Duo became really anxious. She stomped her foot and said to Lu Zhimin in a 'coquettish' manner, "Uncle Village Chief, he stole my eggs!"
Hearing Yun Duo's words, Yun Wansheng was also worried that Lu Zhimin would meddle in such a 'trivial matter,' so he quickly said, "What do you mean 'you'? Yun Duo, I'm your brother, your own cousin. Can't you even call me that? Besides, who stole your eggs? Didn't I just say to take them back and let my mom and your aunt cook them for you? They'll cook them for you to eat right away, and you're still not happy?"
"The village chief is going too. Didn't you just say you wanted to thank them for their help? Shouldn't you treat them to a meal to thank them? Are you suggesting we just give them this one pheasant and have them cook it themselves? Is that even enough to satisfy their hunger?"
"Besides, Uncle Village Chief, Brother Haiyang, and Brother Haijun are helping out here. If you want to thank them with a pheasant, then your uncle, elder brother, and sister-in-law are also helping out here. Shouldn't you give us one too? There are only two of them in total. If you give them to us, what will Grandpa eat? What will Grandma eat? And what will you eat?"
"Second brother is doing this for your own good. He had your aunt cook so everyone can eat together and no one will be left out! Why don't you understand?"
