A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 114

"Meow~"

A familiar meow came from the cat. Yun Jiao, perched on her brother's shoulder, looked up and glanced around, thinking she had misheard.

The next second, the bushes diagonally in front of them moved, and then a familiar tabby cat popped out.

Yun Jiao opened her eyes wide.

"Boss."

Others naturally saw it too.

Yun Chenxi exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, this cat actually followed us here."

Yun Xiaowu: "Little sister, it wouldn't be that it wants to come home with us, would it?"

Yun Jiao didn't know either; she asked her older brother to put her down.

"Boss, are you coming home with us?"

The tabby cat came up to her and rubbed its head against her ankle, while its tail hooked around her other foot.

She took her older brother's hand and tried to take a few steps forward. The tabby cat followed calmly with its tail held high.

Her eyes lit up instantly: "The boss is really coming home with us!"

No one keeps tabby cats in Shenjia Village anymore, so it's not a bad thing for them to leave with us.

It gets along quite well with Yun Jiao.

Yunjiao's family also welcomed the new member.

The tabby cat followed them down the mountain, and even caught a bird to feed Yun Jiao. She refused to eat it, so the tabby cat ate it itself.

Yun Jiao hummed a song happily; none of the birds in the mountains could sound as pleasant as her.

On the way down the mountain, her older brothers always took turns carrying her on their backs and in their arms.

She walked her own section of the road, and she was incredibly relaxed the whole time.

"Got home."

They finally arrived at the village entrance, and Yunjiao picked up the tabby cat.

"Boss, take a look. This is where you'll be living from now on."

“Fishing here should be pretty easy for you. If you can swim and aren’t afraid of the water, I can even take you on a boat trip.”

"Meow."

The elderly women sitting at the village entrance, chatting and working, greeted them.

"Lin Hai is back. You're all back so early this year."

Clearly, they were used to going back to their wives' parents' home every year to help with chores.

Yun Linhai nodded, looking like an honest man.

Some people craned their necks to look into their baskets.

“You brought back quite a lot of things from your parents’ home again this year. Your father-in-law’s family is really generous.”

Shen Yunlian smiled and said, "They're all common wild foods from that area."

"Then your parents would be happy to give it to you."

Shen Yunlian: "My parents-in-law also asked us to bring a lot of things to my parents."

"That's true. Both of your families are very generous and have a good, close relationship."

They didn't talk much before quickly leaving the village and going home.

Meanwhile, the group of people at the village entrance continued their activities.

"There aren't many parents-in-law as generous as Lin Hai's family."

"Of course, I saw it. They were carrying two full baskets when they left."

"I can only say that both families are generous and not stingy, unlike my family. Every time I go back to my parents' home, my mother-in-law keeps a close eye on me, afraid that I will take an egg back to my parents' home."

“This kind of give-and-take will make the relationship between the two families better. Look at that family, their daughter-in-law is a real thief. She wants to take everything from her husband’s family back to her own family, but her own family doesn’t give her a penny. Who can stand that?”

"We'll have to be more careful when choosing a wife for our son in the future. Marrying someone like that would be the worst luck imaginable."

"Didn't she get beaten up? Hasn't she learned her lesson yet?"

"She was well-behaved for a few days, but during this time she secretly sent things to her parents' home again. I heard that she took the food and clothes of her own children and gave them to her nephew."

"May Mazu protect my son, he's almost of marriageable age, please don't let him run into someone like this." Yun Jiao and the others were unaware of the subsequent conversation among the aunties, and had already returned home.

Grandpa Yun and Grandma Yun were stunned when they saw the wild boar meat in the basket.

"Wow...why did I bring back so much meat?"

Pork isn't cheap, and yet they brought back so much at once.

Yun Linhai grinned: "This wild boar, Jiaojiao hunted it."

"What? Jiaojiao?"

Both elderly people looked towards Yun Jiao.

At this moment, Yun Jiao was feeding her tabby cat some dried fish.

"Let me speak, let me speak..."

Yun Xiaojiu raised her hand: "My sister and I were catching fish by the river. My sister caught a really big fish, and she also pulled out such a big turtle from the river."

He raised his arm and gestured exaggeratedly: "It's even bigger than our family's sea turtle."

Yun Xiaowu: "What? How come we didn't see it?"

Yun Xiaoliu nodded and said slowly, "I didn't see it."

“Jiaojiao put it back. She said that the big turtle had become spiritual and wouldn’t eat it.”

"It even has a touch of gold, it's so pretty. It's just that the shell is a bit different from a turtle's. It's a big, flat piece. The head is also different, it looks a bit like an eel's head."

Yun Chenxi: "That's not a turtle, is it?"

"Judging from your description, it's a soft-shelled turtle."

Yun Xiaojiu scratched his head; he had never seen a soft-shelled turtle before.

"I do not know."

Yun Xiaowu: "Are there really turtles that big?"

Yun Jiao nodded: "It's bigger than a turtle."

Grandma Yun clicked her tongue in amazement: "Goodness, how many years must she have lived?"

Yun Xiaojiu bounced around: "I have something else to say. After my sister released that big turtle—no, I mean soft-shelled turtle—she said she was going to look for something else in the river. Then she dived into the river, and not long after, wild boars came, several of them, and ran towards where I was standing. At that time..."

Yun Xiaojiu's expressions were rich, and like a storyteller, she described the thrilling scene at that time.

His family's expressions changed along with his words.

In the end, Yun Jiao pinned the wild boar underwater and beat it, giving everyone a new appreciation for her strength.

But how should I put it, although I know rationally that she is very strong and not weak.

But she looked so much like a fragile porcelain doll; words like beautiful and delicate seemed more appropriate to describe her.

It evokes a protective instinct in people at first glance.

Anyone unaware of her strength would never imagine that such a delicate and beautiful body contained such immense power.

"Is Jiaojiao alright? Is she hurt?"

Yun Jiao shook her head and held out her hand to show them.

The palms and backs of the hands are fine, the skin is fair and healthy, and there are no wounds.

"Okay."

"Good, good... Our Jiaojiao is amazing."

Grandma Yun praised her.

"But you can't just go to dangerous places because you're strong."

Yun Jiao nodded obediently, "I know."

What's wrong with this cat?

Grandma Yun turned her gaze to the tabby cat she had been ignoring.

Yun Xiaojiu continued, "Grandma, you don't know, this tabby cat is called Boss. It's really powerful and can catch pheasants. It caught two pheasants, and gave one to Jiaojiao to eat."

My cousin Xiuyuan said that the person who used to raise it was an elderly person living alone who had difficulty moving around and had no food. So the eldest dog would go into the mountains to catch pheasants and rabbits to exchange for food for the old man. It was very clever..."
