Transmigrated into a slave? I raised a frontier war god while pioneering new lands.

Is this when male chauvinism comes into play?

At this point, Xu Qinghe had not yet realized Shen Zhi's deeper meaning, and only thought that he wanted to train his nephew.

They arrived home in a hurry and finally breathed a sigh of relief. They left the wild boar in the yard, and Shen Daqiang and the others found a place to sit down, panting, and fanned themselves with their hands while resting.

Seeing how tired they were, Xu Qinghe felt bad leaving them sitting there, so she went back inside and poured them each a bowl of tea.

At that time, the tea was neither Longjing nor Pu'er; it was just large-leaf tea that she bought casually in town.

Take a pinch of the tea into a bowl, pour in warm water, and serve it before it has fully steeped, but this tea is very thirst-quenching.

Shen Daqiang was already incredibly thirsty, and when Xu Qinghe handed him the tea, he didn't stand on ceremony and gulped down a large bowl of it.

After pouring the bowls for Shen Ping'an and the others, Xu Qinghe hurried back to add another bowl for him.

This time, Shen Daqiang wasn't in such a hurry to drink. While sipping his tea, he asked Shen Zhi, "What are you planning to do with this wild boar?"

"Should we kill him now or tomorrow?"

Shen Zhi glanced at the wild boar lying on the ground. The pig's blood had already dried up, and it would probably spoil if left out overnight in this weather.

"Kill them today, keep one piece after killing them, and sell the rest for money."

Shen Daqiang looked serious. "Then you'd better hurry. If you do it too late, it might not keep."

It was already late June, the height of summer, and today the sun was blazing down on them relentlessly.

Shen Zhi glanced at the sun in the sky and was also a little worried. He didn't know if he could sell the animals in town after killing them at this time.

Just then, Xu Qinghe suddenly spoke up, "Could we sell to the villagers? We'll sell it cheaper, five copper coins less per pound than in town, is that alright?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Daqiang immediately became excited, "Sister-in-law, are you serious? You really want to sell it to the villagers for five coins less per pound?"

Xu Qinghe nodded, "Really."

"Even if we go to town at this time, we might not be able to sell them. It's better to sell them to the villagers and give everyone some meat."

Shen Daqiang excitedly slapped his thigh and praised, "My sister-in-law is so smart! How come I didn't think of this idea?"

"This way, we can save ourselves from running back and forth and process the wild boar meat as quickly as possible. No wonder you come from a wealthy family; you're really clever."

"Second brother, what do you think?"

Shen Zhi nodded. "Very good."

"Then I'll trouble you to help me pack it up, brother." After saying that, he turned to Shen Ping'an and said, "Ping'an, go find the village chief and tell him that my family has killed a wild boar. Anyone who wants to buy wild boar meat can come over. It's fifteen coins a pound."

Shen Ping'an readily agreed, "Okay!" and then hurriedly ran off.

As soon as Shen Ping'an left, Xu Qinghe and Shen Zhi were busy. One of them boiled water to prepare to remove the pig hair, while the other moved a table, found a basin and a cleaver, in preparation for slaughtering the pig and cutting the meat.

The once quiet courtyard instantly became bustling with activity.

Xu Qinghe took the opportunity to carry the basket into the house and hid the wild ginseng he had dug up.

As for the two children, they went to sleep as soon as Shen Zhi took them home, and they are still asleep at this moment.

Xu Qinghe didn't wake them. She covered them with the blanket, closed the door, and went to help.

Then the sound of gongs and drums could be heard in the village. At that time, there were no loudspeakers, so villagers would announce things by banging gongs and shouting.

Gradually, the whole village began to liven up.

As soon as Shen's mother came out of the house, the shouting outside drifted over. Having no other choice, she asked Shen Erya, who was playing outside, "What are they shouting about outside?"

Shen Erya looked somewhat unhappy. "They said my second uncle killed a wild boar and is now selling pork. They told anyone who wants to buy some to go and buy it."

Mother Shen frowned. "A wild boar?"

"When did they start killing wild boars?"

Just then, Sister-in-law Shen, who had heard the shouts, came out of the house and snorted disdainfully, "Someone like him can't kill any wild boars, let alone piglets. They wouldn't even be enough to fill his teeth."

Shen's mother immediately rolled her eyes at her and retorted, "Your teeth are so big, even a wild boar could fit in them."

Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Shen immediately became displeased, her face darkening as she questioned, "Mother, what do you mean?!"

"So now they're siding with the second son's family instead of us?"

"Don't forget, you'll still have to rely on me and the eldest brother for your retirement."

Seeing her so self-righteous, Shen's mother pouted in annoyance and turned to walk out.

Upon seeing this, Sister-in-law Shen quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

Mother Shen: "I'll go see how big that wild boar is."

Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Shen immediately retorted without any politeness, "Then when you get there, don't just look around for nothing! Take what you're entitled to, and ask for what you're entitled to. Who told you that your second son is more capable than your eldest son? He can kill wild boars, while your eldest son doesn't even dare to kill chickens."

So angry was Shen's mother that she staggered and almost fell to the ground.

If it weren't for her powerful family background and her useless eldest son, she wouldn't have even looked down on this daughter-in-law.

Just as Shen's mother was walking towards Shen Zhi's house, Shen Zhi's courtyard had already become lively, and almost all the villagers who heard the commotion ran over.

At this time, there weren't many entertainment options, so people who weren't going to buy anything would come and watch the excitement.

Aunt Shen and her daughter-in-law, Sister Lan, also rushed over immediately to help Xu Qinghe.

Honestly, slaughtering pigs is usually done by men. Firstly, pigs are quite large and require a certain amount of physical strength, and secondly, it's too bloody for most women to handle.

Xu Qinghe wasn't afraid of the bloodshed; she simply couldn't handle it.

Boiling water and handing over a knife were still manageable. Shen Zhi ladled a bucket of hot water from the pot, turned around, and slowly poured it onto the wild boar.

Because they didn't have a big enough pot or bucket, they could only use this most basic method: continuously pouring hot water over the pig hair until it could be scraped off.

Then you see Shen Daqiang holding a razor blade, scraping the wild boar's fur non-stop. You can hear a squeaking sound as the wild boar's fur falls off in patches.

Seeing that he couldn't handle it all by himself, Shen Zhi simply found a razor blade, and the two of them worked together.

As Shen Daqiang scraped, he kept muttering something, while Aunt Shen pulled a firewood stick from under the stove and used the smoke from the stick to fumigate the base of the walls around the perimeter.

After the pig bristles were cleaned, the next step was to gut the pig. Xu Qinghe had prepared a basin to catch the pig's guts, and Aunt Shen also found a stool to sit next to her, ready to help at any time.

Just then, Shen's mother came over, and as soon as she arrived, she heard someone saying, "This Shen Lao Er is really lucky. He not only got a wife and separated from the family, but he also killed such a big wild boar."

Another neighbor said, "That's right, have you seen those two kids? Look at what they're wearing now, and then look at what they were wearing when they were at Old Shen's house."
