As if the excitement wasn't enough, when Ye Huaiyu was hanging six rabbits on his body and carrying four pheasants, and was so happy that he didn't know what to do, Ye Weiwei's eyes darted around, and she gave him a performance of a wild boar crashing into a tree.
If we're going to open Third Brother's eyes, how can we do it without something big?
Ye Huaiyu was already numb from the shock as he looked at the wild boar lying under the tree, panting and unable to get up.
Ye Weiwei swung the stick in her hand and knocked the wild boar to death. Then, she grabbed one of the boar's legs and easily led her third brother down the mountain.
Ye Huaiyu watched as his younger sister effortlessly dragged a wild boar weighing two or three hundred pounds without any trouble. Her steps felt light and airy, as if she were walking on cotton, which seemed particularly unreal.
This whole day, spent digging for ginseng and gathering prey, has completely shattered his worldview.
With Ye Weiwei's "radar" navigation, the two easily avoided the crowds and returned home.
When Ye's mother saw that her daughter and son had brought so many things home, she was so shocked that she didn't know what to do.
Liu Guilan, however, was already used to it; this wasn't the first time. She skillfully started boiling water to help tidy up the things.
Ye Weiwei skillfully dissected the wild boar and divided it into several large pieces, which were distributed to the people in the old house and the shed.
Because her family often cured meat, they had no shortage of salt. She had collected some coarse salt grains in her spatial storage at some point while gathering supplies, and it was perfect to use them now.
Liu Guilan assumed that Huo Xiao had brought these things back from outside and never asked much about their origins, which saved Ye Weiwei a lot of trouble explaining.
After Ye Weiwei had skinned all the rabbits, Ye's mother and Liu Guilan looked at the intact rabbit skins and discussed making rabbit skin vests for Xiaoxing, Xiaoshan, and Xiaochuan. They heard from their mother that there were not enough rabbit skins, and if they had two more, they could make a few small hats.
Ye Huaiyu then came to his senses and immediately replied, "There are plenty of these things; we can just go up the mountain and catch more."
Ye's mother glared at him, annoyed. "You make it sound so easy. Do you think you can just pick up a wild rabbit off the mountain for free?"
Ye Huaiyu: It really was something I picked up for free on the mountain.
He didn't even go looking for it; the wild rabbit just ran out and crashed into the tree next to him.
However, he hesitated for a long time before finally saying it aloud, and could only laugh it off, saying, "I mean, we'll just go up the mountain and catch a few more, that will be enough."
Mother Ye said irritably, "You should all take it easy and not attract too much attention."
When she heard Liu Guilan say that Weiwei was a Fuwa mascot, she initially thought it was an exaggeration, that rural people were ignorant and making things up, and that it was just a wild rumor.
But seeing her two children bring back so much stuff after spending most of the day up the mountain, she finally realized that her daughter's luck was extraordinary.
This may be a good thing, but it could also turn into a disaster.
In any case, keeping a low profile and not being flashy is always a safe bet.
Ye Huaiyu's heart tightened, and he immediately came to his senses. He pulled Ye Weiwei aside and repeatedly and carefully instructed her not to show off like that again.
Ye Huaiyu was finally relieved after Ye Weiwei repeatedly assured him that this would not happen again.
Ye Weiwei knew that what she did today had a big impact on her mother and third brother, especially on her third brother.
But these abnormalities of hers couldn't be kept from them forever. Rather than constantly hiding them and racking her brains to come up with lies to cover it up, it was better to reveal them little by little so that they could get used to it as soon as possible.
Given how much they value and dote on her, I believe her family would have already made plans and taken precautions to cover it up for her, even without her saying anything.
Sure enough, after Ye Huaiyu found another opportunity to tell his mother about his experience of going up the mountain with his younger sister, Ye's mother thought it over and over again and then had a heart-to-heart talk with Ye Weiwei, giving her a series of repeated instructions.
Ye's mother also spoke with Liu Guilan, telling them to keep an eye on Ye Weiwei in the future and not to show off too much in front of others.
Liu Guilan readily agreed.
She supports anything that is good for Huo Xiao and Ye Weiwei unconditionally and without principle.
Mother Ye still felt uneasy, so she gave Huo Xiao a few more instructions. She was always worried that her daughter was young and impulsive and might cause trouble. Huo Xiao, her son-in-law, was calm and steady and handled things properly and thoroughly. She felt at ease with him watching over her daughter.
Ye Weiwei had been nagging her mother every now and then these past few days, which made her head spin. Before going to bed last night, she even complained a little to Huo Xiao.
"It's just digging up a few ginseng roots and hunting a wild boar, what's the big deal? You keep nagging me about it every day, I'm sick of hearing it."
Huo Xiao chuckled and ruffled her hair. "Listen to your tone, you're just asking for it! Your mom only said a couple of words to you, and that's too lenient."
He wasn't worried at all about his wife causing trouble; he knew she was absolutely reliable.
It's only natural for a mother-in-law to love her daughter so much.
However, he found it amusing to see his young wife's slightly frustrated expression, as if she wanted to show off but failed.
Ye Weiwei raised an eyebrow at Huo Xiao: "Who are you calling a jerk?"
As she spoke, she stretched out a small paw and twisted it around Huo Xiao's waist.
Huo Xiao grunted, "Wife, I was wrong. I deserved it, I deserved it, okay?"
Ye Weiwei snorted; "Look at you, so spineless! Heh!"
Huo Xiao: ...
If I don't suppress you today, you won't know just how capable I really am!
The room was filled with enchanting beauty, its red waves swirling around it.
Ye Weiwei was so exhausted that her bones felt like they were melting.
The next day, she lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) not wanting to move, and she was very irritable towards Huo Xiao, giving him all sorts of unpleasant looks.
Huo Xiao knew he had gone too far that night, so he remained humble and accommodating, always ready to grant any request.
Ye's mother saw everything and her opinion of Huo Xiao rose even higher, but she scolded Ye Weiwei: "You're a mother now, how can you still act like a child and throw tantrums? Only Huo Xiao is willing to put up with you! Huo Xiao, don't pay attention to her. She's a grown woman, let her do things herself. You've worked so many days outside, and you finally have a day off at home, so just relax and let's ignore her!" Huo Xiao smiled indifferently: "Mom, don't misunderstand, we're just joking. Weiwei works very hard taking care of three children at home every day. I'm usually busy with work and can't take care of the family, but now that I'm not busy, it's time for Weiwei to rest."
Although she was happy, Ye's mother said, "She just stays at home taking care of and feeding the baby. What could be so tiring about that? My mother-in-law washes all the diapers, and she doesn't have to cook. It's nothing compared to how tiring it is for you to work outside in the wind and sun!"
Huo Xiao said, "You can't calculate it that way. Taking care of children at home may seem easy, but it takes a lot of thought and effort. Taking care of children is not an easy job."
