Before the Su family could speak, Xu Hanhe said first: "Aunt, our family can't help much with this meat, so we just need to take this much."
She reached out and shared a few pieces of meat, a pig's trotter and a sheep's trotter, which only accounted for about one-fifth.
Wu Guixiang was stunned for a moment and shook her head, "How can this be possible?"
These people also took risks to follow us up the mountain. It doesn't make sense for the Su family, with so many people, to take so much more.
Xu Hanhe smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. It was Qingyun who killed the wild boar and found the goat. We're already getting a great bargain by taking these."
"That's too little. Take some more." Wu Guixiang put a few more pieces of meat into their backpacks without saying anything.
"Okay, okay, that's enough, thank you, auntie." Xu Hanhe said quickly.
"Okay." Wu Guixiang took a look and saw that everything was almost packed. "Let's go down the mountain."
Going down the mountain, the three brothers of the Su family all carried loads of meat on their backs. Su Qingyun walked behind, holding a flashlight to illuminate the way for them, and Wu Guixiang walked at the end.
Everyone was carrying their things and going down the mountain no faster than going up. They went down the mountain step by step. It was already completely dark, with only a few stars remaining in the pitch-black night sky. It seemed that tomorrow would be a good day.
The two families parted ways at the fork in the road. The Su family members quietly returned home, went straight into the house, and then put down the heavy backpack.
"Oh my God, what is this?!" Several daughters-in-law were awake. Zhang Xinlan screamed as soon as she opened the backpack.
Wu Guixiang glared at her. "Why are you making such a fuss? Are you afraid that others won't hear you?"
Li Xiulian was also stunned. These baskets were filled with meat. Where on earth did all this meat come from? It was so fresh, even covered in blood.
Zhang Xinlan covered her mouth with a look of horror, "Mom, didn't you go to the black market?"
"Are you stupid?" Wu Guixiang was speechless. "What kind of black market is open in the middle of the night and still sells wild boar and wild goat meat?"
Qin Ying was stunned. "Mom, are these all from the mountain?"
"The third daughter-in-law is really smart." Wu Guixiang praised, "Isn't it from the mountain? This is the prey that our Yunyun found this morning. We were afraid that the villagers would see it, so we waited until dark to go up the mountain and get it back."
Zhang Xinlan: "No wonder you guys were whispering to each other this afternoon, so secretive and didn't tell us."
Wu Guixiang glanced at her and said, "If I had said it first, with your big mouth, who knows where it would have spread."
"How could that be, mother? I'm not stupid." Zhang Xinlan curled her lips. These are meats. She must be sick to go out and announce that there are so many people in her family. She is afraid that others will be jealous, right?
"It's best if you're not stupid. I'm telling you, don't say a word about the meat to anyone. If I find out who's talking nonsense, I'll tear his mouth apart!" Wu Guixiang warned her family.
"We know, mother."
"Don't worry, Mom, we won't tell anyone."
The whole family nodded like chicks pecking at rice.
"That's more like it." Wu Guixiang nodded with satisfaction. She looked at the pile of meat on the ground, thought for a moment and said, "Since no one is asleep yet, let's not sleep yet. Let's wash the meat and salt it. Otherwise, it would be bad if other people smelled the strong smell."
There was no way their family could finish all the meat in a short period of time, so they had to make it into pickled meat to preserve it for a long time.
"good."
Several people agreed at the same time. The sight of so much meat made them feel so excited that they couldn't sleep and were full of energy.
Except for Su Dalin who went to bed early, everyone in the family got busy. Some boiled water to remove the hair of the wild boar, and some took care of the goats.
Wu Guixiang looked at the thick goat hair, pondered for a moment, and instructed Su Aidang, who was shedding the goats, "Don't throw the goat hair away. Wash it, dry it in the sun, and stuff it into your cotton-padded clothes. It will keep you warm."
"Okay." Su Aidang replied.
Even though it was late at night, the family was still working hard and having a lot of fun. They only finished after they had finally cleaned and salted all the meat.
After looking at the neatly packed meat, Wu Guixiang thought for a moment and said to her daughters-in-law, "There's so much meat that even if we all try our best, we can't finish it all. So, eldest daughter-in-law, you take a piece of meat back to your parents' home. Third daughter-in-law, the meat was obtained by Yunyun, so you take a few more pieces. Although your parents' home is not here, don't you have a sister in town? Give it to her."
Qin Ying was stunned. She had never thought that her mother-in-law still remembered her. Her eyes were instantly filled with emotion and she nodded. "Okay, thank you, mother."
Wu Guixiang gave her a strange look. "What are you thanking me for? If it weren't for Yunyun, our family wouldn't have gotten this meat."
Qin Ying smiled. She was thanking her mother-in-law for her thoughtfulness.
"Eldest brother's wife, do you have any objection?" Wu Guixiang asked.
"Why would I have any objection?" Li Xiu Lian smiled. The meat was originally hers because of Yunyun. It was already very good for her to be able to bring a piece back to her parents' home.
"What about mine, Mom?" Zhang Xinlan became anxious when she saw that no one mentioned her for a long time. They were both daughters-in-law, so she couldn't be partial to one, right?
"Why are you so anxious? I haven't said anything to you yet." Wu Guixiang glanced at her and said indifferently, "Although your parents haven't brought anything to our family over the years, don't accuse me of being partial. It's all the same. You can also take a piece of meat back to your parents' home."
Before Zhang Xinlan could feel happy, she heard Wu Guixiang say again.
"But you can take the meat back to your parents' home, but you have to ride Yunyun's bike back to me."
