Chapter 35 Taking Action
Qiao Wanyin saw that everyone was stunned and motionless, and didn't wait for anyone to react.
He walked into the kitchen, picked up a sharp cleaver, turned around and came out to start cutting the meat.
As she deftly sliced off pieces of evenly marbled pork, she explained in a natural tone, "I was originally going up the mountain to dig up some herbs, but I ran into this wild boar. When I saw it coming this way, I quickly went around it and set a trap, trying to lure it into the pit."
"Two hunters happened to be on the mountain and helped carry the pig down, so we gave them half. The other half is ours."
After she finished speaking, she casually cut off a large piece of meat.
Ignoring the smell of pig's blood and grease on her hands, she grabbed a few straw ropes from the corner of the wall, skillfully tied the meat up, and stuffed it directly into her second brother Qiao Jianguo's hands.
"Let me wash my hands, then we'll go pick up my second sister-in-law!"
She wiped her hands and spoke in a light tone.
Zhou Chun Chun and Chen Xiaoping looked at each other.
What's wrong with my sister-in-law lately?
How could I encounter such a rare thing as soon as I stepped out the door?
Not only did he manage to take down a large wild boar all by himself, but he also had to bring the meat home with him when he got back.
For her sister-in-law's sake, she not only resolutely taught her own brother a lesson, but also made him remember it.
Without hesitation, he then ran into the mountains to find medicinal herbs.
Even ordinary men wouldn't dare to easily venture into those deep mountains and forests.
This young girl dared to venture deep into the area alone and actually found quite a few rare medicinal herbs.
Can he take down a strong wild boar all by himself?
This is not something an ordinary person could do.
Their entire family lived in Old Qiao's house for many years.
When have I ever seen her do anything decent or respectable?
She was either idle or causing trouble, and nobody paid her any attention.
I never expected them to do something so astonishing today, it's really strange!
After Qiao Wanyin washed her hands and changed her clothes, her family members were still in shock.
"Wanyin, you went to catch wild boar all by yourself, are you hurt? Let your mother check!"
Zhu Junxia pulled her daughter over with heartache.
Qiao Wanyin smiled slightly as she looked at the worried expressions on her family's faces.
"It's okay, I used my brain to lure it into the trap."
"I had already scouted the terrain beforehand, and only made my move when it was off guard, instead of engaging it in a direct confrontation."
After saying that, she stood up and said to her second brother, who was waiting at the door, "Let's go, second brother, let's get to your wife's house before it gets dark!"
Just before leaving, she added one more sentence.
"Dad, Mom, Zhao, the educated youth from the educated youth station, will be back at night. We'll bring three or four catties of meat to her family then."
"I also need to send a copy to the village chief; it's something I promised him before."
Then she turned to give instructions to her brother and sister-in-law.
"Brother and sister-in-law, could you please stay and help our parents process this pork? We'll be right back after we finish our journey."
Watching their sister-in-law's departing figure, Niu Chunqiao and Chen Xiaoping exchanged glances, neither of them speaking, yet both harboring the same question.
They couldn't help but start thinking about it.
Could she be a lucky star sent by God?
It was just delayed for a while, and its power appeared a little later, right?
Liu Suqin's hometown is Lijiazhuang, which is about eight or nine miles away from Yuwei Village.
That village isn't far away.
However, due to the winding mountain roads, few people travel on ordinary days.
After the brother and sister finished packing, they set off for Lijiazhuang, and it took them about two hours to reach their destination.
"Second brother, when you meet your sister-in-law's family later, just keep admitting your mistakes. No matter how harsh their insults are, you can't say a word back. Do you understand?"
Qiao Wanyin stood in front of the old house, giving her instructions with a calm gaze.
She knew this trip would not be easy.
However, his older brother is stubborn, and a single careless word could completely ruin the deal.
Qiao Jianguo scratched his head and hesitantly replied, "Okay... I'll do whatever you say."
He nodded and muttered to himself.
But he didn't dare to make it too obvious.
Dare to disobey?
If my little sister dumps me in front of her whole family, that's no joke.
With their own thoughts in mind, the two stepped into the Li family's house.
Inside the door was a small main room.
Sunlight streamed in obliquely through the half-open window.
However, Liu Suqin, who was expected to be home, was nowhere to be seen inside.
All that could be seen were the two elderly members of the Li family sitting upright in the main seat.
Mr. Li's expression was cold and stern, while Mrs. Li looked sorrowful.
In addition, Liu Suqin's elder brother and sister-in-law were sitting in the lower positions.
"Dad, Mom, brother, sister-in-law, I've come to pick up Hongmei and the child to take them home!"
Qiao Jianguo called out as soon as he entered the door.
He forced himself to remain calm, forcing a smile onto his face.
Old Master Li snorted, his brows furrowing even more, and turned his face away without turning back.
Li's mother slammed her hand on the armrest of the chair beside her, glaring angrily, and said, "Our daughter will never go back with you! Your whole family is a bunch of troublemakers, causing chaos every day, not to mention that rude and unruly sister-in-law is stirring up trouble. How can we feel at ease in a family like this?"
After she finished speaking, she glared fiercely at Qiao Wanyin.
"You actually hit your own wife for your own sister! You really don't want a peaceful life, do you?!"
The room was now filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Liu Suqin's elder brother, Li Jianguo, who was sitting next to her, couldn't hold back any longer. He suddenly stood up from his seat, pointed at Qiao Jianguo, and shouted at him.
"What right did you have to hit my sister? Tell me, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, this isn't over! You better explain yourself clearly, who gave you the guts to hit someone!"
His voice shook the roof tiles, and his face turned bright red.
Seeing this, He Cuilian quickly grabbed her husband's sleeve and whispered, "Stop talking, Jianguo, calm down, calm down first."
However, although she verbally tried to calm her husband down, her gaze involuntarily fell on Qiao Wanyin again.
The moment Qiao Wanyin stepped into the room, He Cuilian noticed what she was carrying.
It was a rather neat and presentable paper bag, bulging with some items inside.
That was a huge piece of meat, it looked to weigh at least eight or nine pounds!
When Qiao Wanyin picked it up, it even wobbled a couple of times, showing that it was quite heavy.
Their family hasn't had any meat for almost a month or two.
Because it is currently the lean season between spring and the harvest season.
With a new supply of food added to the household, meat naturally became a luxury.
They usually survive on some pickled vegetables and wild vegetables.
Qiao Wanyin noticed the change in He Cuilian's eyes.
From initial surprise, to his gaze fixed intently on the flesh, his brows relaxed slightly.
She quickly smiled and spoke, her tone warm.
