Mo Yunmei turned her head, her tone excited and a little proud, "You don't need to ask her, she can't speak. You just need to know that you're incredibly good at catching wild animals. Whether it's a pheasant, a duck, a rabbit, or even a wild boar cub, when she's lucky, she just picks it up like it's nothing!"
"Wow!"
They garnered a huge wave of envy and admiration!
Chen Chong's eyes sparkled with excitement as he exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, you're amazing! There are wild animals in the mountains nearby. Shall we go hunting for some tomorrow?"
The other children, upon hearing this, also looked at Su Nanxi with expectant eyes, making it difficult for Su Nanxi to refuse.
Mo Yunmei, not being very bright, thought that Su Nanxi was difficult to talk to and communicate with, and must be feeling helpless. She felt she should make the decision for Su Nanxi. "Then let's go tomorrow, it's no big deal!"
The children cheered, and Su Nanxi could no longer refuse.
When they returned to the Chen family home, Zhou Qionghua and her husband were shocked. They had only been gone for a short time, yet they had brought back a bucket full of fish!
Grandma Mo was used to it and didn't think anything of it. She only asked Su Nanxi if she was tired.
Zhou Qionghua and her husband gained a new understanding: this unassuming mute woman was truly capable!
What happened next shocked them even more, and filled them with envy, jealousy, and hatred!
Su Nanxi wouldn't let anyone else interfere, and cooked a whole table of fish all by herself, all prepared in ways the Chen family had never seen before. The aroma was so enticing that the sound of swallowing saliva was louder than the sound of drums!
The aroma wafted out of the Chen family's house, and people nearby smelled it and started peeking around to look. Damn it!
Who made something delicious?
Haven't you noticed that the village hasn't smelled the aroma of meat in a long time?
What are they trying to do?
This is blatant provocation, do you understand?!
The Chen family had no time to care about anyone else; their eyes were glued to all kinds of fish!
Grandma Mo didn't react much, since she could eat it from time to time. She invited everyone to sit down and have a good taste.
Mo Yunmei found a seat and sat down without inviting anyone to eat, and started eating on her own.
Su Nanxi also specially cooked some mixed grain porridge. These grains were naturally from the space and tasted sweet and delicious.
Actually, no one was full at lunch, partly because there wasn't enough food and partly because it wasn't tasty.
Therefore, the mixed grain porridge cooked by Su Nanxi was quite thick, which made the Chen family, who had always eaten thin porridge, very satisfied.
After the meal, everyone was stuffed.
Zhou Qionghua was overjoyed. She had never eaten such a delicious and filling meal before, not even as good as the food at wedding banquets!
It seems my older sister has married a wonderful daughter-in-law! No wonder she spoke of her daughter-in-law with such pride!
If Zhou Qionghua could also marry such a good daughter-in-law, that would be wonderful!
Now that the youngest son is still unmarried, the only one who can find such a capable daughter-in-law is the youngest son.
The previous daughters-in-law were all very ordinary, with no special skills. They were capable and managed the household well, but their cooking skills were poor and they didn't have any special talents. They were just as ordinary as the other daughters-in-law in the village.
Zhou Qionghua turned her gaze to Mo Yunmei, thinking to herself, "This girl is quite fair-skinned and prettier than the other girls in the village. If she has some talent, I'd be willing to introduce her to my youngest son."
Once Zhou Qionghua had this idea, she couldn't convince herself to give it up, but she didn't say it out loud and wanted to see how it went.
At night, the three of them squeezed into one bed, but Su Nanxi couldn't fall asleep. She quietly got up and went to the window, looking at the moon in the night sky.
They say the moon is the most likely to evoke feelings of longing, and it's certainly true!
Su Nanxi missed Mo Qinghe. She really couldn't get used to not having him by her side. She just couldn't fall asleep and her mind was wide awake.
The room is small, the windows are small, there's no night breeze, and the daytime heat is hard to dissipate, making the room unbearably stuffy and easy to get irritable.
Su Nanxi simply went out of the house, sat under the eaves, rested her hands on her knees, and thought about many things.
Sigh! I wonder if my cheap husband is asleep or thinking about her?
Mo Qinghe also couldn't sleep all night. He sat on a recliner under the crabapple tree, gazing at the same night sky, and missed his wife even more.
I wonder how my wife is doing, whether she encountered any danger, whether she was injured, whether she is hungry, or whether she is tired.
Mo Qinghe became increasingly agitated. He looked at his legs and secretly vowed to seize the time to train. He didn't want his wife to travel alone while he was left behind. He wanted to be with his wife!
He didn't want to be a burden to his wife, so he didn't dare to go out until he was sure he was fully recovered, fearing that his wife would have to carry him around!
He wants to become stronger so he can stand by his wife's side and go wherever she goes!
Actually, there was another reason: he was afraid that his wife would meet someone more handsome than him and run away with her, since she was naive and inexperienced!
You know, my wife values looks a lot, and there are definitely men in this world who are better looking and more attractive than him!
If his wife gets kidnapped, where will he find another wife as good as his?
Therefore, Mo Qinghe secretly resolved to become stronger. His wife was someone who judged by looks and physique, so he would strive to become both handsome and strong!
Believe it or not, Mo Qinghe was indeed secretly working out—no, I mean practicing martial arts—and he was sure his wife would like it.
Mo Qinghe's secret efforts were completely unknown to Su Nanxi.
After dawn, the Chen family children washed up and then took Su Nanxi up the mountain. Mo Yunmei said she was too tired and wanted to sleep a little longer, so she didn't wake her.
Grandma Mo told Su Nanxi to be careful. Su Nanxi thought for a moment and asked Grandma Mo to keep a close eye on Mo Yunmei. Grandma Mo understood and promised to keep a close eye on her, telling Su Nanxi to go and come back as soon as possible.
Su Nanxi would naturally go and return early. Her trip to the mountain was just a formality. She was worried that Old Madam Mo wouldn't be able to handle Mo Yunmei, so she didn't dare to go to the mountain to play too freely.
Zhou Qionghua was worried that the group of children would be ignorant and wander around aimlessly, so she went along too.
So Zhou Qionghua experienced a big surprise. She never expected that at her age, she would encounter such a mysterious thing.
Su Nanxi was really perfunctory. She didn't know how to set any traps, so the knot she tied was also very casual, which made her seem unreliable at all.
If wild animals were so easy to catch, wouldn't they have become rich long ago? They must have caught at least dozens, if not hundreds, of wild animals on this mountain!
Su Nanxi ignored the doubts and disbelief of these people and just went about her own business.
After setting up the so-called trap, she went to the mountains and searched the area thoroughly, picking up anything she thought was useful without any hesitation.
The Chen family was truly stunned. What kind of incredible move was this?
They were all completely baffled. Was this just a game? Could they really catch wild animals so casually?
I have a huge doubt about it, and I don't believe it at all!
Is this just bragging? Even opera singers wouldn't dare to sing like that!
"Wow! It really is! Quick! Get the basket!"
