Chapter 3: Selling Good Things to the Villagers First



Lone wolf, maybe you can give it a try! Do it!

Kang Yueran climbed up the tree again, broke off a thick section of the trunk, and then quickly got down.

She dragged the tree trunk and ran over quickly. Her appearance scared the wolf, and the wolf bared its teeth at her to scare her away.

Kang Yueran swung the tree trunk at the wild wolf, and the wolf cried out in pain. It did not want to fight any longer. After running more than ten meters, it turned around and looked at Kang Yueran, letting out a shrill howl.

The wild boar had already died. Kang Yueran reached out and took the wild boar into the space. Then he ran down the mountain like he was desperate!

Only when she reached the outskirts of Dayan Mountain did she slow down her pace. She turned and entered the space. She arrived at the villa in the space and sat on the sofa, breathing heavily.

A blue display screen appeared out of thin air in front of me.

There is only one APP on the screen, which is the 918 supply system.

She opened the app, clicked 'My', and the balance was still there.

She breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately! With a balance, her life would be much better.

When they were almost at the foot of the mountain, Kang Yueran took the wild boar out of the space and carried it on his shoulders.

Seeing Kang Yueran carrying a wild boar down the mountain, Kang Yuanchen got anxious all of a sudden. "Why didn't you ask me to come with you when you went up the mountain to carry the wild boar? What if you..."

His eyes suddenly became wet. "Yueran, come to me if you have any problems in the future. I will definitely help you, even if it costs me my life."

"Don't say such unlucky words. Send it to Manager Cheng of Biguang Tower right away."

Sixteen-year-old Kang Yuanchen has been hunting with Kang Youan for the past two or three years. Due to his young age, he often fails to catch any prey.

Kang Youan asked Kang Yuanchen to help him deliver the prey to the restaurant in the town. This meant that Kang Yuanchen had contributed a lot. Kang Youan gave some of the money from selling the prey to Kang Yuanchen to take care of Kang Yuanchen's self-esteem. The villagers could not say that Kang Yuanchen was taking advantage of them.

Therefore, Kang Yuanchen and his family are very grateful to Kang Youan.

Kang Yuanchen agreed, picked up the wild boar and left. He wasn't born with supernatural strength, but Kang Youan had been training him intentionally over the past two years, so his strength was greater than that of an ordinary person.

When Kang Yueran returned home, everyone in the village knew the news and many people came.

There are more than seventy households in Fengtou Village, and 60% of them are surnamed Kang. Counting back eighty or ninety generations, they all have the same ancestor.

Some were crying, some were shaking their heads in regret, some were discussing something with Kang Hong, and some were staring at the kitchen, wondering if they could stay and have a meal...

Seeing that people were constantly looking into the kitchen, Gu understood what they were thinking. She told Zhao about it, and Zhao cursed them for being shameless, then opened the door and went out into the yard.

She found Kang Hong and said, "Village head, I gave you the money for You'an's funeral. You found so many people to help, and I don't have any extra money to give."

In the village, no matter whether it is a wedding or a funeral, people who are familiar with the host will come to help, and the host will invite them to have a meal as a token of gratitude.

Kang Hong felt a little embarrassed. He actually knew that some people were just there to eat for free.

But they were all from the same village, so he couldn't just stop them from coming in. "I..."

Kang Yanshun, who was sitting next to him, interrupted Kang Hong and said, "Zhao, you don't have any money? Did the money You'an earned over the years get eaten by dogs?"

He knocked the ground with his crutch. "Two taels? You sent You'an away for two taels of silver. How shameless!"

Kang Yanshun is the patriarch of the clan. He is a generation older than Kang Hong, but only two years older than Kang Hong.

For the families with the surname Kang in the village, his words are more effective than those of the village head Kang Hong.

Zhao Shi didn't dare to confront Kang Yanshun, and whispered her dissatisfaction. "With so many people here, how many of them are close to You'an? I can't help it. My family has no surplus food."

Kang Yanshun deliberately raised his voice so that everyone could hear. "The villagers are here to see You'an off. What does this have to do with your family having no surplus food? Do you really think everyone is here for that little bit of food?"

"If it's not for that bite of food, why do they keep looking into my kitchen?"

The noise in the yard became much quieter, and everyone looked at Zhao and Kang Yanshun.

Kang Yueran was standing not far away, being comforted by several women holding her hands. She listened to the conversation between Zhao and Kang Yanshun, pretending to be a little embarrassed.

She walked up to Kang Yanshun and said loudly, "I am very grateful to everyone for coming to help me. Therefore, our family does not want any funeral money, not even money or cloth."

Farmers' families didn't have much money to begin with for funeral gifts, and now they had even less. Besides, the Zhao family would be the one who benefited in the end.

She simply did this favor herself so that people would remember the kindness of the second wife.

No matter how little the item was, it was still a free gift for Zhao. She yelled at Kang Yueran, "You silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm not dead yet, and it's not your turn to make the decision in this family."

Kang Yanshun stood in front of Kang Yueran and said, "Zhao, what do you want to do? If it weren't for You'an's sake, we wouldn't come even if you invited us."

If Kang Youan had not been so popular, Kang Yanshun would at most come and ask a few questions for the sake of the clan leader's face, and Kang Hong would have been even less likely to help with the funeral arrangements.

Except for those who were busy setting up the mourning hall, the rest of the people came over to say hello and prepare to leave.

Zhao looked unconvinced and muttered softly, "Just thinking about eating for free at other people's homes is shameless. It's better for you to leave."

Her voice was not loud, but the yard was quite quiet at that time.

Kang Yanshun knocked on the ground twice more, "Zhao, can you speak?"

Kang Yueran took a step forward and said, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. I want to thank you all for coming to help on behalf of my father. After my father passes the seventh day of his death, I will go hunting in the mountains and thank you all then."

Kang Hong said nervously, "Yueran, please don't go up the mountain again."

"I won't go into the mountains, don't worry, Grandpa Lizheng."

Kang Yanshun touched Kang Yueran's head and said lovingly, "You are a good child."

Zhao rolled her eyes at Kang Yueran and said, "You only know how to be a pushover."

Kang Yanshun was so angry that he didn't hit the ground with his crutch, but hit Zhao's calf instead. "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will divorce you for your dead man!"

Zhao didn't dare to say anything else and turned back to the house.

Kang Yuanchen returned and gave Kang Yueran seven taels of silver, saying that the price of meat had risen. The wild boar had sold for more than six taels, and the extra was considered a funeral gift from Cheng, the shopkeeper of Biguanglou.

Kang Yueran did not give any share to Kang Yuanchen this time. This was the money for Kang Youan's funeral, and Kang Yuanchen would not accept it.

Kang Yueran knocked on Kang Hong's door with the silver. Kang Hong's wife, Wang, opened the door and said, "Yueran, come in and sit down."

"No, Grandma Hong, I'm here to find the village head. Please call him." Her father just passed away, and some families care about this.
