Era: Seven money-losing girls? They're trying to trick me into having a daughter again!

"Okay, then I'll thank you in advance, Boss Wang!"

Upon hearing Boss Wang's words, Wang Wei was overjoyed and quickly replied, "If I ever find anything good on the mountain in the future, I'll come straight here!"

"OK."

After the transaction was completed, Boss Wang went back to his business.

Fang Wei looked around, took out a small wad of cash from his clothes, pulled out a five-yuan note, and handed it directly to Chen Dajiao.

"Big Foot, is this enough for your trouble?"

"Enough! Enough! Enough!"

Chen Dajiao was surprised that Fang Wei would be so generous after becoming rich. After accepting the money, her face was all wrinkled with smiles.

"Brother, you're really generous! Next time there's a good opportunity like this, just come find me, I, Chen Dajiao, am always there for you!"

Fang Wei nodded, counted out six bills from the stack of ten-yuan notes that Boss Wang had given him, and looked at Yang Qian.

"We agreed last night that I would give you 40% of the proceeds after the sale."

"Here's sixty yuan, count it yourself."

"..."

Yang Qian's hands trembled as he took the money. He hadn't expected Fang Wei to actually intend to give him 40% as agreed. Fang Wei himself had risked his life as bait last night.

"Fang Wei! From now on, we're brothers who'd risk our lives for each other! If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west! If you tell me to chase a dog, I'll never chase a chicken!"

Fang Wei was startled by his suddenly raised voice and quickly reassured him, "Don't get so agitated. You and I hunted the wild boar together, so you deserve this money."

"Waaaaah!"

Yang Qian was so moved that tears streamed down his face.

Fang Wei handed over those sixty yuan so readily!

"Brother, I'm sorry about the past. I'll never ask you to gamble with me again!"

"well."

Fang Weiqian chuckled twice, then emphasized, "You don't need to ask me for this kind of thing anymore. I've quit gambling, I've quit gambling."

"Big Foot, let's go! Let's hurry back to the village!"

By the time they returned to Laotang Village, it was already noon.

As soon as Fang Wei entered the house, his daughters surrounded him like a flock of sparrows, chattering excitedly.

"Dad's home!"

"Daddy! The piglet keeps running! I gave it water!"

"Okay, okay, be good, be good."

Fang Wei handed Yang Qian one of the piglets and reminded him, "If you don't have anything to do these next couple of days, it's best not to gamble."

"Uh, okay."

Yang Qian knew that having money on him would attract unwanted attention, but he couldn't resist gambling if he didn't play a couple of rounds a day.

After he left, Fang Wei pulled Wu Shaoli into the room and gave her the remaining ninety yuan.

The family's money now adds up to more than 280 yuan.

"So many?"

Wu Shaoli knew that wild boar meat could be sold for money, but she never expected it could fetch so much.

"I made a total of 150 yuan, and I gave 60 yuan to Yang Qian."

Only then did Fang Wei have time to tell his wife in detail what had happened the night before.

"It should be given to him!"

Wu Shaoli was terribly panicked as she listened, unable to even imagine how her man had dared to lay a hand on her.

"Are you really not hurt? Don't lie to me!"

"Really not!"

Fang Wei stood up, circled around in front of her, and boasted, "It's just a wild boar, what can it do to me?"

"Your man is... someone who has died once."

He immediately realized what he was doing and shut his mouth when he said the last few words.

"But what?"

Wu Shaoli asked in confusion.

"But...but the most capable person in this family!"

Fang Wei stammered for a moment, then, fearing his wife would continue to press him, quickly changed the subject, saying, "I'm going to slaughter that piglet; we're having pork today."

After saying that, he slipped into the yard.

That was close! I almost let it slip!

Wu Shaoli was a little confused. After counting the few ten-yuan bills again, she carefully hid them away again.

"Hey~ Brother Dawei! Sister Shaoli! Are you both home?"

Upon hearing this sound, Fang Wei, who was playing with his daughters in the yard, couldn't help but frown.

He used to be a gambling addict and a scoundrel, so many people in the village disliked him.

But even he has people he doesn't like!

The owner of that voice was the woman Fang Wei disliked the most—an extremely snobbish woman who constantly spoke ill of his family behind their backs; his cousin-in-law, He Xiaofang.

He Xiaofang was wearing a floral shirt and her hair was tied up with a red ribbon.

As soon as she entered, her eyes, which had a lot of white showing, kept darting around the little piglet.

"My cousin's wife is here."

Although Wu Shaoli's tone was polite, the smile on her face had faded.

She also disliked her cousin-in-law.

In the past, when Fang Wei gambled away so much money that his family had nothing to eat, his cousin-in-law would deliberately take a detour when passing by her house.

When her daughter was truly on the verge of starvation, Wu Shaoli mustered up the courage to go to her house to borrow half a bowl of rice. Her cousin-in-law, however, managed to say a few words through the crack in the door:

"We're out of rice too, not even enough for ourselves, let alone any extra to lend you."

"What's the point of raising so many money-losing animals? They'll just starve to death, or it's just a waste of food!"

"Maybe even if you kill all those good-for-nothing brats, Fang Wei will still be willing to look back at you and continue having sons with you!"

Wu Shaoli has already received a lot of disdain and abuse because of her daughter.

She could accept that everyone looked down on her, but she absolutely could not accept that someone would treat her daughter so cruelly!

"Oh my, Shaoli!"

He Xiaofang swayed her hips as she walked into the courtyard, constantly pressing herself against Wu Shaoli, acting as if they were really sisters.

"Look at your face, you've gotten so thin! Your husband Dawei hasn't even thought to give you some nourishing food!"

As she spoke, her eyes kept looking at the little piglet.

"Oh my, is that the little wild boar? It looks so plump, the meat must taste delicious!"

"Shaoli, I just got back to the village today and heard several people say that Dawei and Yang Qian hunted a wild boar weighing over 200 jin (100 kg) today. Is that true?"

Wu Shaoli gave a lukewarm "hmm".

"How much would that cost? At least a hundred yuan!"

He Xiaofang's gaze swept over Fang Wei, and she stuck out her tongue to lick the corner of her lips.

"Shaoli, your family's luck is about to change! Fang Wei just booked the old forest farm a couple of days ago, and today he hunted a big wild boar. He's definitely going to be someone who does great things in the future!"

"Who knows, in the future, we poor relatives might have to rely on the two of you."

He Xiaofang kept rambling on and on for a while, making Fang Wei, who was standing to the side, want to roll his eyes.

This silly woman, does she think no one can see what she's thinking?!
