Even if Hua Zhian harbored resentment, he dared not retort at this moment.
Because he realized that if his grandfather were here, he might still be at the bottom...
It was clearly a dagger, and Jiang Yi, as its owner, wielded it with ease, which was one thing, but his strength was even greater than his father's, let alone his always-busy grandfather's...
Despite the old man's heart condition, his strength in his hands remains unaffected.
Hua Xiangyun's eyes suddenly lit up, and the stone she had picked up along the way flew out instantly. The rustling sound attracted everyone's attention.
Even if they were oblivious, they would know that Hua Xiangyun had hit her target.
All resentment and inferiority complex had long been forgotten by Hua Zhian. He simply pushed through the bushes and moved quickly toward the source of the sound.
Then he excitedly shouted, "I got it! I got it! Two silly rabbits!"
When he came back, he was holding a grayish rabbit in each hand, which looked to weigh three or four pounds.
"That was a brilliant move," Hua Baoguo said, his pride growing even stronger as he praised his daughter. "My daughter is truly amazing; she's made a great start right away."
Jiang Yi and Hua Baoguo worked together, very slowly, and Xiao Jia's body was covered with prey.
Qiang Xinxin realized that there was too little information, so she called for them to stop, saying, "Let's go back too. If we're too late, Grandpa and we'll worry."
Hua Zhian was furious when he heard this. "If he can talk, he should get out of the way and stop spouting nonsense."
I still had no objections, and straightened up with a smile, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, Xiangyun has always been in charge in your family. You dare to mess with her..."
Hua Xiangyun looked at Hua Baoguo with an air of agreement, "Of course we will be filial to his two older brothers, as for him? Anyway, he's a married man, so it's all up to him."
Hua Xiangyun and Xie Lanqiao looked completely satisfied. They had only paid a penny to get such a small amount of meat, it was like getting it for free, and the feeling was wonderful.
If we go out a bit further, we'll definitely be able to get a few dishes, just like you said.
Seeing that you had spoken so succinctly and had already made the main point clear, Hua Baoguo then said, "Mom, does he think that you eight siblings are heartless people?"
Back then, who would go after food? Hua Xiangyun swept away her previous dawdling and took the prey from Xun Liangfen's hands, instructing, "He shouldn't be foolishly following in front. Slow down and go to the back to see if Jiang Yi needs any help."
"Jiang Yi, you just meant the same thing as what his father said: if he dares to bully Xiangyun, you'll be the first to forgive him."
The main thing is that the big oaf did help, but also caused more trouble.
As for whether there's enough food to eat? That's a real problem. Even if there's enough food, it can't be smoked into cured meat. Life used to be much more relaxed.
This mountain forest only has one path, which everyone uses for traveling. No one expected that there would be small prey nearby, so naturally these wild animals gradually multiplied.
Even Hua Xiangyun, who originally had no objections, was now full of surprise. She knew that Xiangyun had taken a master, but she knew that Xiangyun didn't have such great skills. However, she had only taken two big stones and exchanged them for two small plates of meat. That deal was really too good to be true.
As we went deeper, dozens of meters, our harvest gradually decreased.
What did that shrew say in front of her son-in-law? Was she trying to make him value her son?
Hua Baoguo glared at her and said, "You talk like you're some kind of shrew..."
Hua Baoguo was about to retort when Hua Xiangyun finished explaining her reasoning, "Since ancient times, people have raised children to provide for them in old age. What did you and his father do to help him in his life before? You still ended up ruining your own lives..."
If you've reached the bottom, you all want to keep going up and take over the whole forest.
Hua Baoguo said, "That's quite something. It's said that back then, the bark of the trees was stripped off. Even the fiercest wild animals are afraid of humans. Back then, our family must have gone down the mountain and wreaked havoc."
Jiang Yi, "Tian Xiao is innocent..."
"It really was like that. Back then, whenever we saw a hole, whether it was a rat hole or a snake hole, we would dig it open to take a look." Hua Zhian also fell into reminiscence. "I remember once when you were digging a hole, you dug out a mountain pass and almost sent yourself to your death. Thinking about it now still gives me chills."
Even though my husband and son-in-law drive their prey to our area, Zhi'an and I still managed to keep the rabbits.
Xiangyun is our daughter, and Zhiping is our sister. If you're having a hard time, we're naturally unhappy. If you're bullied, you and your eight sons won't stand for it either..."
It seems the boy didn't go down the mountain; his old arms and legs are all rusty, and he's cooperating perfectly.
Xiao Jia didn't notice Hua Xiangyun's slight change, because Xiao Jia's eyes had already turned cold as he watched the prey being caught.
As she said those words, she glared fiercely at Jiang Yi, as if she would risk her life to protect him if he dared to bully her own son.
Hua Zhian watched the wild rabbit slip away right under his nose, stood up in disappointment, and failed again.
Moreover, along the small green hill in front, as long as you don't have a heart, you'll always lack meat to eat.
Hua Zhian sighed, "When you come over there to hunt with your grandfather and father-in-law, you'll have to set traps and snares to catch them. If you hadn't had his skills back then, you would have had a much harder time."
Hua Zhian thought about it and realized it was true. For so many years, the things down the mountain were all classified as collective property, and even small families dared to go down the mountain to hunt on their own. However, this allowed those animals to recover and thrive.
Qiang Xinxin then realized she had misspoke, "...You had other intentions too, you just wanted you and your son-in-law to live a messy life, why should you worry about our family's affairs?"
Jiang Yi, “…” You’re clearing the way from behind. They can chat all they want, but having to pull you back makes it seem like you’ve committed some heinous crime. Anyone who knows would think you’re a heartless man…
Hua Baoguo and Qiang Xinxin were somewhat disappointed, because we could only act as porters outside, and we didn't even catch a rabbit.
Hua Xiangyun was also reminded of the young master's memories by me. "What are they compared to you? After you finished harvesting the land, you went outside to dig rat holes. These rats are really something. While your families were starving, they could store up a whole hole full of food. If you were unlucky back then, you couldn't even supply a small family with food for a few days by digging one hole."
Hua Xiangyun replied without any embarrassment, "Of course, we have to prepare a few big dishes for our family today. If we walk a little further, there might be other good things."
You look at Hua Baoguo and us, "They have suffered a lot since they were young. Even when food was distributed to the family, it was always given to them first. They used to have to take care of the elders."
