The Tang brothers quickly arrived at the mountain. As soon as they arrived, they started to pick up the firewood on the ground and had no idea about the wild boar.
Jiang Yanli was worried that if she said it in advance, their conversation would be overheard by the villagers, so she kept it to herself along the way.
After everyone went up the mountain, they found that it was almost dark.
Seeing the eldest brothers of the Tang family start working right away, Jiang Yanli felt that it was totally worth it for the eldest brother to marry the eldest sister-in-law.
With these brothers-in-law, there is always someone to help whenever there is any work to do at my eldest brother's house.
Their family is relatively small, with only her and her eldest brother as the family's two children.
Having a strong in-law will make your life better.
"Brother Tang, don't be in a hurry. I didn't call you here mainly to get this firewood!"
"My sister-in-law and my mother are over there, let's go over there first!"
Jiang Yanli confirmed again and again that there were no other villagers nearby before she took the three Tang brothers to the opposite side.
"Isn't he a firewood collector?"
Tang Liming had already loaded the firewood onto his back when he heard the girl from the Jiang family say she wasn't there to get firewood.
“Go ahead!”
Tang Lihua glanced at his second son. This guy is really tall but not smart.
The girl from the Jiang family said that my younger sister is nearby, so she must need their help with something.
This was in the mountains, and the Jiang family girl's face didn't look worried at all, and it was obvious that she wasn't injured.
Since they were not injured and were not in a hurry to go home even when it was dark, the only explanation was that they had caught prey.
This cannot be known to the villagers, so I have only told you now.
"Little sister!"
"Little sister, we are here!"
"Little sister, what's going on?"
When they came to Tang Xinyi and the others, the three brothers all behaved differently.
"look!"
Tang Xinyi didn't waste time explaining, but pointed to the valley.
It was almost dark, and the few people could not see the situation below clearly from such a distance.
"Let's go down!"
Tang Lihua called his two brothers and slowly slipped away from the side.
"Brother, it's a wild boar!"
Tang Liben's eyes widened when he saw so many wild boars.
"Aren't these the three that ran away from the field earlier? This much meat should last us a long time, right?"
Tang Liming's mouth was almost watering. His grandmother had not allowed his family to eat the meat they had been given last time. She had pickled it all and kept it to nourish the family during the busy farming season.
If these wild boars don't hand themselves over, they might be able to have a good meal tonight.
"Keep your voices down, you two! Whether you can eat the meat or not depends on how well you keep it a secret!"
From the fact that the Jiang family girl asked them to come over instead of looking for someone in the village, it was clear that the Jiang family had no intention of handing over the wild boar.
My younger sister's husband's family is the village chief, so it's not easy to bring the wild boar back to their home.
It would be more appropriate for the three brothers to take the meat home, cook it, and then distribute it to their younger sister's family.
Even if the news leaked out, the wild boar was hunted by their family. As long as the villagers hunted prey in the mountains without being discovered by others, they would keep it for themselves.
"Let's get the wild boar up there first, then bundle it up with the firewood and carry it back together!"
The two small ones are easy to deal with. One person can put them in the firewood and carry them away.
But this big one must weigh at least 180 or 190 kilograms. It is difficult for one person to carry it, not to mention the weight of firewood.
Finally, after some discussion, Tang Liben and Zheng Xiulian each carried a bundle of firewood, and put a little wild boar in each bundle.
The remaining big one was brought back from a small path by the two brothers Tang Lihua and Tang Liming.
Along the way, Tang Xinyi and Jiang Yanli, her sister-in-law, both helped Zheng Xiulian to cover for herself.
This way Zheng Xiulian wouldn't be too tired, and she arrived at Old Tang's house quickly.
When they got home, the two Tang brothers had already returned by taking a shortcut.
Grandma Tang had already asked Tang Aiguo and his wife to boil water in the kitchen.
The gate of the yard was also closed tightly, and Ma Xinghua was guarding behind the gate to prevent anyone from peeping.
No one said much, and they were very careful when picking up things, trying not to make any noise.
Until all the wild boars are processed and divided into strips of meat.
Old Tang's family kept some meat, offal and ribs, the total amount was only enough for a small wild boar.
However, some meat from both wild boars, big and small, was left.
Seeing that her family was embarrassed, Tang Xinyi took out two more pieces of meat, weighing about 10 pounds.
A pair of pig's trotters were also left.
"Mom and Dad, it's getting late. Let's go back first. We have to go to work tomorrow!"
After moving her things, Tang Xinyi said goodbye to her family and prepared to go back to sleep.
After a whole night of hard work, they didn't even dare to stew the meat at night because they were worried that the aroma of the meat would attract the attention of the neighbors.
It’s not that you can’t eat meat, but villagers generally don’t eat too well at night. Even if there is meat, it will be cooked at noon.
"I'll have your eldest brother and the others send this meat home. Now hurry back with your mother-in-law!"
The two sides chatted for a few more sentences and then parted ways.
Tang Xinyi followed her mother-in-law and sister-in-law back to Lao Jiang's house.
The village chief had already received the news and knew that his wife and daughter-in-law had hunted wild boars in the mountains, so he was not in a hurry to go to the village to look for them.
It was not until the three women came back that they asked in detail about the wild boar.
Tang Xinyi didn't make anything complicated when she got home. She just made some food and went to bed after eating.
