However, having learned from his previous experience, Village Chief Li did not distribute everything. Instead, he kept the tiger and ten sheep for unified management in the communal hall, intending to exchange them for silver.
The wild boar, wolf, and hyena meat were divided among Jiang Qinyu and her seven or eight families. However, after discussing it with Jiang Qinyu, Village Chief Li still gave each family in the village two catties of wild boar meat.

Village Chief Li was also very worried. These game animals couldn't fetch a high price in Yongshan County, but they needed money to get through the winter, so they had to exchange some of the meat for silver.

Winters in Dingshui Village are very cold, and every year some people freeze to death. Jiang Qinyu doesn't want to be one of them.
