In fact, she bought it from the mall with the money she earned from selling wild vegetables.
She originally wanted to buy some grain, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that buying live meat could be explained by luck, but grain appearing out of thin air was impossible to explain.
Wan Shu did not intend to tell them about the mall.
Leaving aside whether they, as people of ancient times, could accept such strange things, if they accidentally let it slip outside, they, as outsiders, would be burned alive.
Better safe than sorry.
So she bought the rooster, which weighed over eight pounds, for 10 coins per pound.
Upon hearing that the rooster was caught by Wan Shu himself and belonged to their family, Er Ya and S Ya's slurping sounds grew even louder.
Actually, it wasn't just the two of them who were craving it. After they came down the mountain, many villagers were also very craving it. They all stared at the rooster with their mouths watering and asked her where it came from.
Er Ya and Si Ya puffed out their chests, proudly answering for her.
"Our mother caught it herself when she went to dig for wild vegetables!"
The villagers assumed that Wan Shu knew he would receive a pension later, so he spent money lavishly to buy food. Although they felt bitter, they were still somewhat forgiving, thinking that this food and drink was bought with the life of a man.
But now that they heard it was Wan Shu who was lucky and found it on the mountain, they were so jealous they were practically green with envy!
Prices are soaring these days. A chicken this big would cost at least 200 coins in town! Wan Shu didn't spend a single copper coin; he got it for free!
Damn it! Why weren't they the ones who found the chicken?!
Some of the diligent and hardworking people rushed up the mountain, while others, who were lazy, stayed by Wan Shu's side and made sarcastic remarks.
“The rich wife is really lucky. Not only will she receive ten taels of silver as compensation in the future, but she also picked up a chicken.”
“What good is receiving a pension when your husband is dead?”
"Hmph, that's right, what's the use of having chicken to eat when my husband is dead!"
In these famine years, most villagers haven't eaten meat for months, and everyone is tightening their belts. It's understandable that she felt resentful after getting such a big chicken for free.
She will be living in the village for a long time in the future, so there is no need for her to get into a conflict with the villagers over a few harmless sarcastic remarks.
She smiled and continued walking forward indifferently, when suddenly a shameless male voice came from afar.
"Sister-in-law! You found such a big chicken, you have to share half with me!"
