When Tang's mother heard that her sons had hunted a wild boar, she knew she had to keep it secret!
Fortunately, Old Tang’s house is at the foot of the mountain, and not many people go into the mountain in such a cold weather.
After a while, Tang Zhan pulled the sled into the yard. Tang Ming and Tang Zhe looked excited, each holding a few pheasants in their hands.
Tang Wen was carrying a basket with a litter of immature wild rabbits in it, and he was holding two fat adult rabbits in his hands.
The Third Master and Old Man Tang walked at the end.
After entering, Old Man Tang locked the gate of the courtyard casually.
"I've seen something new today! If this person is lucky, then everything he does will go smoothly!"
Tang Zhe still looked incredulous and said,
"Didn't you see how smooth our day was today?
As soon as we entered the mountains, these creatures seemed to be waiting for us. They pounced on us without hesitation! I caught two of them in one hand!
He pointed at the wild boar weighing over three hundred pounds, and said, "And this wild boar, it gave me a fright when it came out! Guess what happened to it in the end?"
Tang Zhe kept the answer mysterious.
Tang's mother rolled her eyes at him. "What happened in the end? Didn't he end up dead in the end? Didn't you carry him to our house?"
"Mom! Why are you spoiling the fun?"
Tang Zhe was poured cold water by Tang's mother, and his facial features twisted into a protest.
"What happened in the end?"
Li Jinhua looked at the big wild boar and was already very happy! She was listening to Tang Zhe's enthusiastic talk and asked a question with great courtesy.
Tang Zhe's mood instantly turned from gloomy to sunny, and he smiled and said,
"Who would have thought it was blind? It just ran into the tree and died instantly!"
"Ah? There's such a thing?"
Li Jinhua seemed to have copied Tang Zhe's expression, and both of them looked incredulous.
Lan Guoer raised her eyes and glanced at her man.
Tang Zhan seemed to know that his young wife wanted to look at him, and he caught her gaze in time. The two of them understood each other tacitly.
"Mom! While this wild boar is still warm, shouldn't we take care of it as soon as possible?"
Li Jinhua couldn't wait to share the meat.
"Go call the second and third sons' families over. Those who need to boil water, boil water. Those who need to shave, shave!"
Tang's mother was directing.
"Fourth and Third, you two kill the pigs. Eldest and Second, you take care of the pheasants and rabbits. Xiaoxiu, take your brothers and sisters and lock these little rabbits in the cages in the woodshed and feed them some vegetable leaves."
The family acted quickly under the command of Tang's mother.
At this time, the advantage of having many children and grandchildren was fully demonstrated. An hour later, the 300-pound wild boar was gutted and plucked, and the hare and pheasant were also processed cleanly.
Zhao Lai Di's smile has never dropped since she entered the yard, and she would even chuckle from time to time while working.
"Mom, how do we divide the meat?"
Seeing that the meat was cleaned, she couldn't help but ask.
"Divide the pork into five portions, one for each family! Each of you four brothers can get one pheasant, and the rest will be left to your father and me. As for the two large rabbits, my family and the fourth brother's family will each get one. As for the small rabbits, divide them among the three of you families to raise."
There were quite a few little rabbits in that litter, twelve or thirteen! Each family got at least four, which was a better deal than getting the older rabbits.
"Mom, you and Dad are eating with my fourth brother and the others. Can you eat over a hundred pounds of meat?"
Zhao Lai Di felt that the fourth family was benefiting from the old couple's influence, but she didn't dare to say it out loud, so she muttered to herself.
"What's going on?" Tang's mother had very good ears and heard her words clearly! "Do you want to divide my share and the old man's share as well?"
This is exactly what Zhao Lai Di meant!
But seeing that Tang's mother was about to pick up the broom again, how could she dare to admit it!
She said timidly, "I'm just worried that you won't be able to finish it and waste it..."
"Isn't it a waste if I feed it to you? You seem to be never satisfied with anything you eat. I think you are the one who is wasting it!"
The more Tang's mother spoke, the angrier she became!
"If you think your family can't finish it, give half of it to Zhonggong and use it for the New Year's Eve dinner!"
"Mom!" Zhao Lai Di was unwilling to do that. She immediately changed her words.
"Mom, I was wrong! How much meat is this? There are so many people in the family. If we can't finish it, we can just bury it in the snow. It was my daughter-in-law who was wrong just now! Please don't argue with me, a pig-brained person."
"Knowing you have a pig brain, do more and talk less from now on!"
Tang's mother felt that the second son's wife was someone who needed to be taught a lesson, and she would get angry if she wasn't disciplined!
Seeing Zhao Lai Di being taught a lesson, Li Jinhua dared not say anything more.
"Mom, whatever you say is fine, we'll listen to you."
Zhang Xiaocui also responded, "Yes, mother, you have the final say."
The children did not sleep at noon and were too sleepy to open their eyes. Lan Guoer coaxed them to sleep and divided the meat when they came out.
Li Jinhua was always thinking about the "bracelet" on Xiao Ling's hand. When she saw Lan Guoer coming out from the inner room, she knew that the little ones had fallen asleep.
Zhao Lai Di and Zhang Xiao Cui both called on their husbands to carry the meat back to their homes.
"Oh my! Why haven't the hairs on my meat been shaved off? How can it taste good when stewed..."
Li Jinhua kept picking up the pig hair and refused to leave!
After finally waiting for Tang's mother and Lan Guoer to go to the kitchen, she quickly slipped into the inner room.
The triplets were lined up in a row on the kang, their three little heads showing, sleeping soundly.
Li Jinhua quietly lifted the quilt from Xiao Ling's body...
"ah!"
"Snake!"
Tang's mother was discussing with Lan Guoer what to make for dinner when they heard a shrill scream from the room.
Tang's mother's expression froze! Thinking of something, she threw down the things in her hands and ran to the room, cursing.
"This damn bastard! He's not going to mess with that little green snake, is he?"
In the room, Li Jinhua had fainted under the kang, with two blood spots clearly visible on her wrists.
"Oh my! What a fool! Why did you provoke it for no reason?"
Tang's mother saw that she was bitten by a snake, and she slapped her thigh, wanting to scold her to wake her up!
"Guo'er, please take care of her. It's New Year's Day, don't let anything happen to her!"
Although Tang's mother was angry that she did not fight for it, she did not want her eldest son's family to break up like this, so she made way and let Lan Guoer treat her.
The poison in Xiaoqing's body cannot be cured by ordinary serum!
Fortunately, Lan Guoer prepared the antidote in advance just in case.
She quickly went home to get the silver needles and antidote, and finally she was able to remove the toxins from Li Jinhua's body through a two-pronged approach.
But the poison in Xiaoqing's body was extremely destructive. Although she was treated in time, Li Jinhua's body was still somewhat damaged. If she wanted to fully recover, she would need at least a month to recuperate.
Lan Guoer naturally had medicine that could help her recover quickly.
But during her communication with Xiaoqing, she already knew what Li Jinhua had done, and she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
