After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 29 The Wild Boar That Forced Its Way In

The two chatted for a while longer before Sun got up to leave. She brought Su Xiaoxiao a lot of food as a way of thanking her for helping her and the children get home that day.

Su Xiaoxiao accepted it without hesitation, and before leaving, she even put the tiger meat she had hunted a few days ago, which she had left over, into the vegetable basket that Sun had brought.

"What kind of meat is this?"

Su Xiaoxiao answered calmly, "Tiger meat I hunted a few days ago."

Sun was utterly shocked; he never imagined that even tiger meat could be caught.

Do you know how to hunt?

Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

"But we don't encounter tigers often. You can take this meat back and have a taste. We can't possibly eat it all ourselves."

Sun accepted the tiger meat and then took her leave.

As they walked into the courtyard, Sanlang and Sunshi, who were exercising outside, greeted them politely.

Sun looked at Sanlang, then at Su Xiaoxiao, with a satisfied expression—in modern terms, it was like she was saying, "I'm so happy!"—before turning to leave.

Su Xiaoxiao was quite happy to have met a friend like Sun Shi. It's really not easy to find friends in this village.

Su Xiaoxiao has to deal with this person and that person every day, so it's quite rare to find a friend who is truly good to her.

Sun didn't mind Su Xiaoxiao's identity at all. It just so happened that Su Xiaoxiao was also one of the victims, and the two of them could sympathize with each other and form a victim alliance.

In fact, Ms. Sun was only twenty-five years old, seven years older than Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao's original identity was indeed only eighteen years old this year, but Su Xiaoxiao's identity before transmigrating was already nearly thirty years old.

She thought to herself that she was almost thirty years old before she transmigrated, but she didn't look as mature as Sun Shi.

When she first met Mrs. Sun, she thought she was almost forty years old.

People in ancient times really did look very mature; they all looked older than they were.

Saburo looks very young, in his early twenties. Could he also be only a teenager, like me?

Su Xiaoxiao thought about asking Sanlang's age, but this guy couldn't even remember his name, let alone his age.

However, it seems that Saburo is quite happy despite his amnesia, as he is having a great time playing with the two children.

In the past few days, Su Xiaoxiao had only seen his wary face, but now that she saw him smiling, he seemed quite relaxed and even a little childlike.

What to do? This guy is becoming more and more likable.

Su Xiaoxiao would tidy up the grass in the yard when she had nothing to do, but she didn't know how. She thought it would be easy to develop the backyard and plant some vegetables.

As a result, she discovered how to weed, how to create rows of furrows, how deep to sow seeds, and how far apart to plant them.

She seemed to know nothing about it. She grew up in the city, but after being transported to ancient times, she had to start learning farming from scratch.

Grandma Wang from next door poked her head out of her yard. "Oh, Liu's young wife, so diligent in gardening?"

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't be bothered with her; expecting her to help her was harder than climbing to heaven.

"That's not how you turn the furrows, is it?"

When Granny Wang saw Su Xiaoxiao clumsily handling the hoe, she started making sarcastic remarks.

"How do you translate it? Can you teach me?"

Su Xiaoxiao put down her hoe, pointed at Granny Wang, and said, "Come here and teach me?"

Granny Wang twisted her plump body and glanced at him, saying, "I have to go to Old Liu's house to take care of some things, I don't have time."

Su Xiaoxiao watched her retreating figure, gritting her teeth in anger, and said, "If you don't have time, don't ramble on here."

Su Xiaoxiao threw the hoe into the ground and then turned and went back into the house.

"Quit!"

Su Xiaoxiao stormed back into the house. Sanlang saw her return, his face filled with anger. "What's wrong?"

"I don't know how to farm."

Su Xiaoxiao answered truthfully, "Why is everything so difficult?"
When Sanlang saw it, he thought Su Xiaoxiao's pouting face was really cute.

"Do you know?"

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up as she looked at Sanlang with longing.

"I do not know either."

Sanlang's answer greatly disappointed Su Xiaoxiao.

"What should I do?"

Su Xiaoxiao shrugged and said, "I'll go ask Aunt Wang!"

Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao wasn't entirely without help or care in the village; she could go to Aunt Wang for help.

If you need anything, you can ask Aunt Wang for help.

Su Xiaoxiao went to find Aunt Wang and found her picking scallions in her yard.

Aunt Wang's courtyard is very nicely decorated.

Eggplants, green beans, potatoes, cucumbers, and peppers are planted in rows, but they haven't started bearing fruit yet.

"Aunt Wang, your garden is so beautifully decorated, can you teach me how to do it?"

Su Xiaoxiao sincerely sought advice.

Of course, Aunt Wang was happy to teach.

Aunt Wang had to go to Su Xiaoxiao's garden to see what was going on. She said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Go home and wait for me. I'll lock the door and then go with you to take a look."

Su Xiaoxiao knew that if she walked with Aunt Wang at the entrance of the village, people would definitely talk about Aunt Wang behind her back.

Su Xiaoxiao understood what Aunt Wang meant, agreed, and went home first.

Just as I reached the foot of the mountain, several men came running towards me, shouting and yelling as they ran.

"Make way, a wild boar has wandered into the village!"

Indeed, some villagers were so frightened that they scattered and fled. Some of them were already paralyzed with fear at the mention of Su Xiaoxiao. They shouted loudly, "Help! Can someone save us?"

Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao wanted to draw her bow and arrows, but then realized that she hadn't brought them with her when she left home.

She quickly picked up a stone from the ground, ready to hit the wild boar.

Just then, Aunt Wang, who had followed behind her, called out to her from behind.

"Xiaoxiao, don't rush to help. Wait until they ask you for help first!"

"why?"

"Think about it, haven't there been plenty of similar incidents before? When you help, the result is always the same: you put in a lot of effort but get no reward."

After Aunt Wang reminded her, Su Xiaoxiao thought about it and realized that it really was true.

Helping these heartless villagers will only lead to the same result.

A sharp-eyed villager recognized Su Xiaoxiao and called out to her, "Su Xiaoxiao, don't you know how to hunt? Hurry up and help!"

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "Why should I help you? I didn't bring a bow and arrows, and besides, I can't hunt such a big wild boar."

This wild boar looks to weigh over 200 pounds. Its fur has been rubbed against pine bark for years, and the outer skin is so thick, bonded to the pine resin, that it's practically invulnerable to weapons.

It bared its large, black fangs, drooling profusely onto the ground. Its eyes were bloodshot, and it exuded an aura of evil.

This wild boar must be quite old; you could almost say it's become a spirit.
Su Xiaoxiao was also quite afraid, as she didn't have a suitable weapon at hand.
