Chapter 110 That Water Ghost
"It's you, that water ghost!"

Upon hearing such a loud voice, everyone, including Yun Jiao, looked towards the young man.

Yun Jiao's family was unhappy.

"What are you saying? What do you mean, 'water ghost'? Can't you talk?"

The young man realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly covered his mouth to apologize.

"I'm sorry, but... but I really saw her push that wild boar into the water."

Who wouldn't misunderstand that scene?

"Not only me, but the others saw it too."

Those people were the ones who swam after the wild boar and witnessed firsthand how Yun Jiao ruthlessly grabbed the boar's tusks and dragged it underwater.

Yun Xiaowu protested, "That doesn't mean you can call her a water ghost! Is there any ghost as beautiful as my little sister? She's clearly a fairy!"

Yun Jiao: Brother, keep a low profile, keep a low profile.

Everyone glanced at Yun Jiao's beautiful, picturesque face, and it seemed there was some truth to it.

"Ahem... So that wild boar was you..."

The older person tried to steer the conversation back on track, but looking at Yun Jiao's small frame, they just couldn't bring themselves to say, "You hit her."

How old is this child?

It's impossible.

Yun Xiaojiu proudly puffed out her chest: "That's right, it was my sister who hit me!"

She used to be such a crybaby, but now she's as proud as a rooster.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was the one who hunted the wild boar.

“My sister is young, but she is very strong. We live by the sea, so let alone this little wild boar, even a fish weighing hundreds of pounds can't escape her grasp.”

Yun Jiao: …………

She gently tugged at her ninth brother's sleeve: "Brother, this is an exaggeration."

She doesn't have that much strength or ability yet.

"But this is too small."

Looking at Yun Jiao's small frame, fair skin, and delicate body, they couldn't believe she was capable of hunting wild boars.

Grandma Shen stepped forward: "It's none of your business how my granddaughter hunted the wild boar. Anyway, this wild boar belongs to our family, so you don't have any objections, right?"

There were no opinions, but many people were envious.

This wild boar is so big, it looks like it weighs at least 200 pounds. How long will it take to eat it?
Yun Jiao's family members happily carried the large wild boar home, temporarily neglecting the corn in the field to get the boar home first.

Yun Xiaojiu took a few steps forward and suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to take the basket.

"Wait for me, Father and Mother! There's another big fish here too, caught by my sister."

When everyone looked, it was indeed true; the fish was quite large.

The way they looked at Yun Jiao instantly changed.

How can someone so young be so capable?

No wonder her family dotes on her. If it were them, they would dote on such a capable girl too!

Those who came to join the fun followed along.

"Hey Da Niu, are you selling your wild boar meat?"

Shen Daniu was the name of Shen's maternal grandfather.

Grandpa Shen's face was all wrinkled from smiling the whole way, and his mouth never stopped moving.

"No rush, no rush, I need to discuss it with my son-in-law. He has so many people in his family too."

Some of this meat should be given to the son-in-law's family.

That's how the in-law relationship developed. The son-in-law's family treats their daughter well, bringing a lot of things every time they come back to her parents' home. This time, they even brought a barrel of sea snake-infused liquor. Leaving aside the medicinal herbs in the liquor, such liquor isn't cheap either.

Their family couldn't be stingy, especially since Jiaojiao had hunted the wild boar; they had to give their son-in-law's family a large share.

On the way back, villagers who heard the news came to join in the fun.

When they got home, the neighbors had just divided their property. Old Mrs. Li was furious, and her husband, for some unknown reason, had given all the land that should have gone to Shen Jiang to him.

Since the family was going to be divided, she was still angry and wanted to take advantage of her status to get some of the land from her eldest son and give it to her younger son. But as soon as she opened her mouth, she was scolded and told that she should also give them money.

Furthermore, the second son's family was also separated from the family.

This made her so angry that her heart ached. How could her old woman ever act so domineeringly at home again?

Just then, the commotion next door reached her ears; Old Lady Li could only vaguely make out something about wild boars.

She rushed out to take a look and learned that the old woman next door, whom she had just had a fight with yesterday, had gotten a whole wild boar, and the wild boar was not small, weighing more than 200 pounds!
Her arch-rival's good life made her seem even more like a loser.

So, in a fit of anger, Old Lady Li rolled her eyes and fainted.

"Oh dear, what's wrong!"

"She's fainted, Old Lady Li has fainted."

Why did you faint?

"Could it be that he was so angry when he saw that Da Niu's family had killed such a wild boar that he fainted? I heard that the two families almost got into a fight yesterday."

There are no secrets in the village. The fact that the two families almost got into a fight yesterday has already spread, and everyone knows what happened.

All we can say is that everyone has seen how biased Old Lady Li is, and they all feel she deserves it.

Someone kindly brought chicken soup to your daughter-in-law, but instead of being grateful, the mother-in-law got into an argument with them.

This petty person, could it be that he fainted from anger after seeing someone else get such a big wild boar today?
Old Mrs. Li was taken by her family to see a barefoot doctor.

Meanwhile, Grandpa Shen and the others had also reached an agreement with Yun Linhai.

We'll sell 100 jin of wild boar meat, and the rest we'll share between the two families.

In the last two years, every household in their village has started raising pigs, but these pigs need to be carefully raised for a year before they can be eaten during the Chinese New Year.

And piglets aren't cheap either; there are many people who can't even afford to buy one.

Throughout the year, we can only eat pork during the Chinese New Year period.

It's the busy season for farming now, and people are expending a lot of energy, so how could anyone not crave wild boar meat?

But only 100 jin (50 kg) is not enough to share.

Even if each household is limited to buying only one pound of meat, it still won't be enough to go around.

Wild boar meat is cheap and doesn't require coupons; as soon as the news got out, their doorstep was practically bursting with people.

Some people, fearing there wouldn't be any meat left if they stood at the front, almost started fighting.

"That's all, the meat's sold out, so don't come any closer."

"How come it's all gone? Such a big wild boar, why is it only selling for 100 jin? There are still more than 100 jin left, can you finish eating them all? Sell some more, sell some more."

"How can we not finish it? My son-in-law's family has several members, a total of nine and a half boys. How many days can this meat last?"

A half-grown boy can eat his father out of house and home. A stingy little boy who is still growing will eat at least two large bowls of grain, not to mention the vegetables.

His in-laws have a total of nine and a half boys.

Grandpa Shen shook his head and sighed for his in-laws.

That's why we were so poor before, living a very hard life.

They refused to sell pork under any circumstances, and Grandpa Shen and Uncle Shen sent all those people away.

"Didn't a few others manage to hunt wild boar? Go ask them."

After saying that, he closed the door.
