Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.
Chapter 46: Completely Envious
When Chang Kun rode his bicycle to the village entrance, the villagers stared at him with their mouths agape, their faces full of disbelief.
It felt like the rumored troublemaker who was supposedly in jail suddenly drove back to the village in a Ferrari.
Liu Meifen rushed to Chang Kun's side and looked her son up and down, afraid that he might be hurt somewhere.
The villagers at the village entrance slowly recovered from their shock and began to whisper among themselves.
"That young master of the Chang family is quite something; he borrowed a bicycle and rode it back."
"If you ask me, he just killed a wild boar and got all cocky, so he borrowed a bicycle to show off."
"If you're so capable, why don't you hunt wild boar yourself? You should borrow a bicycle to ride too." Chang Kun's relative couldn't stand it anymore and argued with the people next to him.
The villagers all thought it was too late and that Chang Kun had borrowed a bicycle to go home. They had no idea that this was the bicycle Chang Kun had traded for Qingyang earlier that day.
Liu Meifen looked left and right and saw that her son was not injured. She wiped away her tears and punched Chang Kun's shoulder hard.
"You little rascal, why are you so late? Where have you been playing?"
Chang Kun chuckled, took the milk powder and meat buns off the handlebars, and waved his hand. "I went to the city and bought some milk powder and meat buns to visit my nephew. My older sister asked me to bring half of them back for my younger sister."
"What is milk powder?" Liu Meifen looked at the milk powder bag, having never heard of it before.
Chang Kun didn't know how to explain, so he casually said, "Milk powder is made by drying milk, and it's very nutritious."
Hearing that it was nutritious, Liu Meifen smiled and nodded, then put on a stern face: "I just bought meat buns yesterday, and you bought more today? You're such a spendthrift!"
These days, most families can't even get enough wild vegetables to eat, let alone dare to buy meat buns every day!
Uncle Chang Wu from our clan came over, his eyes shining, and touched the bicycles twice, clicking his tongue in amazement.
He was quite close to Chang Kun's family; it was he who went to the mountains to collect herbs and cured Xiao Changxiu's fever.
"Xiao Kun, is this milk powder nutritious? Is it expensive?" Uncle Chang thought to himself, "I'll buy some for my son Gouwa too, to help him get better."
"Fifth Uncle, milk powder coupons cost six yuan, and milk powder costs eight yuan a bag. Even so, you still need connections to buy it."
"What the heck?!" Uncle Chang exclaimed in surprise. He counted on his fingers, "This bag of milk powder is equivalent to over a hundred kilograms of cornmeal?"
The surrounding villagers were so shocked that they were speechless.
We used over 100 jin of cornmeal, mixed it with wild vegetables, and ate it sparingly. It was enough to feed the whole family for two or three months!
How can such a small package be worth so much money?
How extravagant must one be to buy this thing!
The villagers all gathered around, wanting to see if the milk powder was made of silver or gold.
Liu Meifen's eyes widened, and she slapped Chang Kun's shoulder twice. She hadn't expected her son to buy such an expensive item, and she regretted not confiscating the money he earned from selling wild boars.
I originally wanted to scold my son, but seeing that there were too many villagers around, I swallowed my words.
She reached out and touched the bicycle. "Xiao Kun, whose bicycle is this? It looks pretty new. Don't let anyone scratch it. Take it back and I'll clean it for them."
Liu Meifen and the villagers had no idea that Chang Kun had bought the bicycle.
How can a poor boy go out to work and come back driving a Ferrari?
It's outrageous!
Chang Kun looked around at the villagers, then leaned close to Liu Meifen's ear and said, "Mom, I bought this bicycle."
"What?!" Liu Meifen's head buzzed, and her voice involuntarily rose: "You used the money from selling the wild boar to buy a bicycle? You spendthrift!!"
Liu Meifen was so anxious that she wanted to beat Chang Kun up.
Ever since her son hunted a wild boar, she's been happy every day and no longer worries about food and drink at home.
Later, when her son caught so many wild rabbits, she was even happier and stopped being frugal, going on a big shopping spree at the city's supply and marketing cooperative.
At that time, she thought that her son still had a large sum of money from selling wild boars, and the family would no longer lack money or food. But she never expected that in the blink of an eye, her son would use the money to buy a bicycle.
Who buys a supercar right after escaping poverty?!
My son hasn't been beaten enough!
Liu Meifen glared at Chang Kun with hostility, thinking that she would teach him a lesson when she got home.
When the surrounding villagers heard Liu Meifen shouting and learned that the bicycle had been bought by Chang Kun, they were in an uproar.
"Oh dear, that spendthrift son hasn't changed at all!"
"Buying a bicycle, which you can't eat or drink, I don't know what you were thinking."
"They've got money to burn; they hunt a wild boar and forget who they are!"
"If you didn't know better, you'd think his family were wealthy landlords!"
The villagers' chatter echoed at the village entrance; no one in the surrounding area had ever bought such a large item before.
I'm still starving, and you're already eating bird's nest and shark fin?
Chang Kun's behavior directly shattered their values.
Seeing the growing murmurs at the village entrance and the increasingly fierce look in his mother's eyes, Chang Kun quickly began to explain:
"Mom, I didn't pay for this bicycle."
Liu Meifen glared at her son. "The bicycle didn't cost money?"
Who are you kidding?!
This son has always liked to play tricks on me since he was little. Now that I've bought such an expensive thing as a bicycle, he still lies to me!
When Chang Kun saw Liu Meifen looking around for a stick, it seemed she wanted to beat him up, so he quickly told her about how he had beaten two sheep and been taken to the city to get a new bicycle.
The surrounding villagers stared intently at Chang Kun.
Since Chang Kun shot a wild boar, many villagers have also taken up guns and gone into the mountains, hoping to try their luck and see if they could also shoot a wild boar.
Unexpectedly, the villagers who went into the mountains found nothing; they didn't even see a single wild boar hair.
When they heard that Chang Kun had caught two more green sheep and traded them for a bicycle, the villagers were absolutely furious. Why couldn't they be so lucky?
They were so envious they were practically dying of resentment. They secretly resolved to go into the mountains every day from now on, and they were determined to beat up the big guy!
But when it comes to hunting, if you can't hit it, you just can't hit it.
People are just different, whether you like it or not!
Upon hearing what her son said, Liu Meifen paused for a moment, then reacted, patted her son's arm, and smiled broadly.
She felt a pang of sadness, realizing that she and her husband had lived most of their lives and their accumulated wealth was far less than what their son had gained from hunting in the mountains these past few days. As parents, they were now relying on their son to support the family.
Then she felt a surge of joy. Her son was so capable now, even managing to buy a bicycle. Everyone in the village envied her. As she gazed at the villagers with envy, she felt truly content.
Chang Kun grinned, changed to his bicycle and went home, unaware of how happy his younger sisters would be to see him.
Turning around, Chang Kun saw Zhang Quhun grabbing Jin Sanjia's clothes, Jin Sanjia's face bruised and swollen. A little puzzled, Chang Kun asked, "Ququ, what happened?"
Zhang Quhun was so anxious that tears were about to come out. He told Jin Sanjia about his father and elder brother being trapped in the mountains and then shoved Jin Sanjia, wanting him to lead the way to find the Zhang family.
But Jin Sanjia was terrified by the wolves and refused to leave, preferring to take the beating instead.
As darkness fell, Jin Sanjia felt that going into the mountains at this time would be suicide. The thought of the wolf's eerie green eyes made his legs tremble.
