After learning about the situation from his nephew Wang Dabing, Wang Delu walked towards Liu Yingying with a smile, his hands tucked into his pockets.
"Lord Lihe is truly a lucky star for our village! Not only have you done so many good deeds for the villagers before, but this time you've also saved that young man Xue Ye and hunted down such a big wild boar. Congratulations!"
Liu Yingying could tell that Wang Delu's words had a hidden meaning, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
"You young people from the Wang family have had a tough time following me into the mountains to search for someone, and Da You even got injured in the process."
"Once things are settled here, I'll have Zhao Di send you the remaining money. I'll also cover Da You's medical expenses!"
Liu Yingying was never stingy with money.
Upon hearing this, Wang Delu's old face immediately broke into a smile; "Oh, you're too kind, Lord Xiang, no rush... no rush..."
"But what do you plan to do with this wild boar, Lord Xiang?"
"Should I ask the soldiers to help transport it to town and sell it?"
In the past, even if ordinary families were lucky enough to hunt a wild boar, they would not eat it themselves, but would sell it to earn money to supplement their household income.
But in his heart, Wang Delu felt that his nephews had also contributed to hunting the wild boar and bringing it back to the village.
Liu Yingying can't keep it all to herself!
But he didn't want to say it directly, so he deliberately tried to get her to talk about it.
Liu Yingying: "I don't plan to sell this wild boar. Everyone in the village is struggling right now, so I want to share the pork with everyone..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Delu's face immediately lit up with joy, but he still uttered polite words.
Taoyuan Village has about a hundred households. The nearly 400 jin of pork was divided equally among them, and each household ended up receiving about two or three jin of pork.
In this famine year, people couldn't even get enough to eat, but today, thanks to Liu Yingying, everyone had the opportunity to eat meat.
The villagers were filled with gratitude towards her.
"Yingying...no! Lord Lihe is such a kind person, he's actually willing to share such a big wild boar meat with everyone..."
"Thank you, Rikawa-go-kun!"
Someone immediately knelt down!
"Don't be so formal, we're all from the same village..."
Liu Yingying was taken aback. She disliked the ancient people's habit of kneeling at the drop of a hat, so she quickly helped the old man up.
He then uttered a series of elegant platitudes.
Finally, I'd like to convey a message to everyone.
To put it simply, she was telling the people of Peach Blossom Village that regardless of whether they had ever made things difficult for her in the past, it was all in the past, and as long as they hadn't gone too far, she could forgive and forget.
But now.
She also contributed a little to the village, mainly to the fields, hoping they wouldn't cause any damage.
Otherwise, they will learn how to vomit up the meat they ate today!
The villagers all fell silent.
Unconsciously, in everyone's mind, Liu Yingying has become a leader with a voice.
Her authority was even greater than that of the village chief!
Wang Delu sat on a rock, stroking his beard with a complicated expression.
Wang Dabing walked over and asked, "Uncle, are you worried that in the future everyone in the village will only listen to Sister-in-law Zhu and not to you?"
Wang Delu glanced at him but didn't say anything.
After all, he has always been the village chief of Peach Blossom Village!
Wang Dabing smiled and said, "Actually, Uncle, you don't need to worry about that. I've figured things out a bit over this period of time..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Delu finally showed some change in expression; "What did you understand?"
Wang Dabing: "First of all, Sister-in-law Zhu is indeed quite capable. Just look at how well those who work with her are doing now..."
"Look again, what happened to those who opposed her?"
Ma Qiumei is her sister-in-law, but now she is disgraced and imprisoned!
The same applies to Zhang Qiaonv and her daughter!
And then there was Master Kui, who, along with Ma Qiumei and others, slandered her and met a terrible end.
And that Dr. Ma from Majia Village, we still don't know where he's gone...
Thinking about all this, Wang Delu shuddered.
I couldn't help but feel relieved. Thank goodness... thank goodness I've always been pragmatic enough...
Wang Dabing added, "Besides, I think Sister-in-law Zhu still respects you to some extent. If our Wang family can be on good terms with her, and considering her connection with the county magistrate... it will benefit us in the future..."
Wang Delu pondered for a moment and nodded in strong agreement.
Liu Yingying brought three portions of pork home. Since her family could eat meat every few days, the three children were not particularly excited when they saw the pork.
Zhao Di was just very worried about her...
Liu Yingying comforted Zhao Di and left two portions of pork at home. One portion was for her own family, and the other was for Grandma Zhang's family.
However, since Bao'er was young and Grandma Zhang was blind, she had already started cooking with the family, so Liu Yingying didn't send the raw meat over.
The remaining portion was naturally reserved for Jiang Suyu and her son.
It was still early, so Liu Yingying carried the meat to the Jiang family's house.
Even before I reached the door, I could hear Jiang Suyu sobbing inside...
It turned out that after arriving home, Jiang Suyu was worried and insisted on checking on her son's injuries.
This sight almost made her faint from fright!
"My poor child! How could you be so badly injured?"
"And... why does this wound look like a knife wound?"
"Mother, I'm really alright!"
Xue Ye didn't want her to worry, so he didn't tell her that he was being chased.
As for those who were hunting him down, he wasn't sure if they were from the Yiyue tribe...
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Sister Jiang, this is Yingying. Everyone in the village just received pork. I've brought your and Xue Ye's share..."
Liu Yingying stood outside the door and briefly explained her purpose.
"It's Yingying! Come in and sit down!" Jiang Suyu quickly wiped away her tears and got up to greet her.
"Yingying, you are truly a great benefactor to our family. I'm afraid I can never repay this kindness in my lifetime..."
After entering the house, Jiang Suyu held her hand tightly.
Just as Liu Yingying was about to say it was nothing, Jiang Suyu suddenly said something surprising.
"Even if I die, there's still A-Ye. Anyway, you don't have any children of your own. If you don't mind, I'll let A-Ye recognize you as his godmother, and he can take care of you in your old age!"
In Jiang Suyu's mind, since Liu Yingying saved Xue Ye's life, it's perfectly reasonable for Xue Ye to take care of her in her old age!
"mother!"
Xue Ye's expression was somewhat explosive at this moment, and he glanced awkwardly at Liu Yingying.
"Cough...cough cough!" Liu Yingying couldn't help but cough twice. "Um...actually, it's really not necessary..."
