Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Their plan to hunt wild game has completely failed!

Xiao Shan glanced at the game these people were carrying; there were rabbits and pheasants.

So he said to the middle-aged man, "Uncle, can you sell me one of these rabbits?"

“We won’t do anything illegal, and we can’t engage in speculation.” The middle-aged man immediately became alert.

Xiao Shan explained with a smile, "Uncle, this isn't speculation. It's the same as buying vegetables in the city. I have grain coupons, money, and meat coupons; you can exchange them however you like."

"I'll exchange it for grain coupons and money! I don't know how much grain we'll get this year, so I'll go to the city in a couple of days to buy some to stock up." After thinking for a moment, the middle-aged man said to Xiao Shan, "This rabbit of mine weighs about three pounds. You can calculate how many grain coupons and how much money you'll get. I won't lie to you."

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Shan said, "Uncle, how about I give you a dollar and ten jin of grain coupons?"

"Young man, I'm actually the one who benefits this way!" the middle-aged man said somewhat embarrassedly.

Xiao Shan waved his hand dismissively: "Uncle, which village are you from? If I want to eat wild game in the future, I'll just go to your village to find you."

"We are from Qinjiacun Village."

"Qin Family Village?" Xiao Shan looked at the middle-aged man and said, "What a coincidence! Uncle, the wife of the Jia family in our courtyard is from Qin Family Village."

The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and said with a smile, "You mean Huai Ru? I'm her third uncle."

"What a coincidence! Uncle, my name is Xiao Shan. Whenever I want to eat wild game, I'll come to Qin Family Village to find you."

The middle-aged man naturally said he had no problem.

After the people from Qin Family Village left, Xiao Shan and his two companions did not continue to wander around.

The general situation outside the city can be gleaned from the conversation with the middle-aged man.

Hunting areas have now been designated outside the city, making it impossible for outsiders to set traps to catch wild game!

On the way back, Xiao Shan said to Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang, "Guangtian, Jiefang, if you can catch wild rabbits and pheasants without setting traps, I guess the villagers won't care!"

"How can we catch them if we don't set a trap?" Liu Guangtian looked at Xiao Shan expectantly.

Xiao Shan laughed and said, "Use a slingshot!"

“A slingshot? Forget about it! I don’t have that skill!” Liu Guangtian said, somewhat speechless. “I’d rather stay in the city and do odd jobs; I can earn a few cents a day.”

Yan Jiefang also sighed: "I don't have the ability, so let's forget about getting wild game!"

"Don't be so discouraged. Go back and clean it up. Stew this rabbit, and the three of us will have a drink!" Xiao Shan waved the rabbit in his hand. "But I'll leave the processing of the rabbit to you two."

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang's eyes lit up instantly.

Liu Guangtian patted his chest and assured him, "Xiaoshan, you can rest assured and leave it to us. We'll make sure it's cleaned up perfectly."

Yan Jiefang fawned over Xiao Shan and took the rabbit from him, saying, "Xiao Shan, I'll carry this rabbit, don't tire yourself out!"

The three returned to the courtyard house and encountered Qin Huairu again in the middle courtyard.

Looking at the rabbit in Yan Jiefang's hand, Qin Huairu asked curiously, "Xiaoshan, did you hunt this rabbit outside the city?"

“Sister-in-law, hunting areas have been designated everywhere outside the city now, how can we hunt anymore!” Xiao Shan shook his head. “This was bought from a hunter, or rather, by your third uncle! The area that the three of us went to just happened to be assigned to your Qin Family Village!”

Qin Huairu nodded: "That's quite a coincidence!"

"Sister-in-law, let's not talk anymore, we're going back now!" Xiao Shan said to Qin Huairu.

Watching Xiao Shan and the others enter the backyard, Qin Huairu also turned around and went back into the house.

Upon seeing Qin Huairu return, Jia Zhangshi immediately approached her: "Huairu, who were you talking to just now?"

"It's Xiaoshan, Guangtian, and Jiefang. They went out of town to hunt wild game!"

Madam Jia asked with some curiosity, "Have they caught them yet?"

“No! The place they went to just happened to be designated as a hunting area for Qin Family Village, so they bought a rabbit from my third uncle!” Qin Huairu shook her head and said.

Jia Zhangshi's eyes darted around and she said, "Huai Ru, you and Dong Xu go home next weekend to visit your parents. Buy some meat, some candy, and some cornmeal. Things aren't easy in the countryside right now, so don't let outsiders gossip."

"Let's also ask your family if you can let Dongxu set traps in your village's hunting area in the future, and catch some pheasants or rabbits!"

Hearing Jia Zhangshi's words, Qin Huairu was somewhat tempted.

Whether it works or not, her parents have benefited.

If we can get Dongxu to set a trap, we'll also benefit.

So Qin Huairu nodded: "Mom, when Dongxu comes back, let's talk to him and ask him for advice."

When Xiao Shan got home, he sat down on a stool to rest.

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang were full of energy, so they grabbed kitchen knives and went to the door to process the rabbit.

"Guangtian, did you get this rabbit outside the city?" Aunt Er asked curiously when she saw Liu Guangtian killing a rabbit in the yard.

Second Aunt knew that Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang had planned to go outside the city to hunt wild game.

Liu Guangtian shook his head: "No! Mom, the areas outside the city have been designated as hunting zones. We outsiders have no way to set traps! Our plans to hunt wild game are ruined!"

"Then what is this rabbit?" Auntie Er asked, even more curious.

Liu Guangtian explained, "Mom, Xiaoshan bought this. Jiefang and I helped kill it, and we ate a meal with Xiaoshan."

Auntie Er glanced at the rabbit, swallowed hard, and walked away dejectedly.

After having dinner with Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang, Xiao Shan sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and started chatting with the people in the chat group.

Group owner Xiao Shan: "@Yue Buqun, Sect Leader Yue, how is Zuo Lengchan doing now? Has he come looking for trouble?"

Yue Buqun: "He's already started making all sorts of underhanded moves, but I've managed to deflect them all. I reckon it won't be long before he takes action himself!"

Zhang Chulan: "With Sect Leader Yue's current strength, Zuo Lengchan shouldn't be a match for him, right?"

Yue Buqun: "Hmph! If Zuo Lengchan dares to come, I'll capture him and put him with Yu Canghai and the others, to be used as practice material for the Huashan Sect disciples!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "Sect Leader Yue, haven't the higher-ups of the Qingcheng Sect come to ask you to take Yu Canghai back?"

Yue Buqun: "No! The current leader of the Qingcheng Sect has been replaced by Yu Canghai's junior brother. The new leader of the Qingcheng Sect didn't get along with Yu Canghai to begin with, and he'd love for Yu Canghai to die here with me. So why would he come to me to take Yu Canghai back?"

Group owner Xiao Shan: "This really is a case of 'when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter'!"

The human world, a world of light.

After getting off work, Zhou Bingkun was resting and quietly watching the chat in the chat group.

Although Zhou Bingkun has been practicing regularly, his strength has only reached the first level so far.

However, in his world, first-tier strength was enough to handle most of the potential troubles.

His mother, Li Suhua, was preparing dinner.

Just then, Zhou Bingkun heard someone outside calling his mother's name.

"Kun'er, it sounds like someone is calling me outside. Go see who it is!" Li Suhua, who was cooking, said to Zhou Bingkun.

Zhou Bingkun nodded, ran to open the door, and found Aunt Qiao standing outside the yard.

"Aunt Qiao, what brings you here? Is there anything I can help you with?" Zhou Bingkun opened the courtyard gate and asked Aunt Qiao.

Looking at Zhou Bingkun, Aunt Qiao's expression turned somewhat unpleasant: "Bingkun, is your mother home?"

"Yes, I'm here! I'm cooking inside!"

After entering the house, Zhou Bingkun returned to his room, while Aunt Qiao went to find Li Suhua.

Aunt Qiao came to see Li Suhua mainly because of Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan's matter.

Because Zhou Bingkun has been bringing Zheng Juan to his home every few days recently, everyone in the neighborhood knows that Zhou Bingkun is really dating Zheng Juan.

Aunt Qiao was naturally very angry when she heard the news.

Li Suhua had clearly told me before that she wouldn't agree to Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan being together, so why has she suddenly changed her mind now?

What's wrong with my own daughter?

She can't even compare to the girl from Taiping Hutong!

So Aunt Qiao is going to have a serious talk with Li Suhua.

Seeing Aunt Qiao's aggressive demeanor, Li Suhua roughly knew what she was going to do.

However, Li Suhua felt guilty and could only let Aunt Qiao scold her.

But to everyone's surprise, Aunt Qiao was also tactless, and her words became increasingly offensive.

They said she was blind to be sisters with Li Suhua.

It was also said that Li Suhua had gone blind and had found a daughter-in-law from Taiping Hutong.

……

As she listened, Li Suhua also got angry and started arguing with Aunt Qiao.

Zhou Bingkun, who was in the room, originally thought that Aunt Qiao had come to chat with his mother, but instead he heard the sound of two people arguing coming from the kitchen.

"What's wrong with these two old ladies? Aren't they usually quite close? Why are they arguing today?" Zhou Bingkun wondered, and quickly got up to go out and try to mediate.

Zhou Bingkun came into the kitchen and saw the two of them almost tearing each other apart. He quickly stopped them: "Mom, Aunt Qiao, what's wrong with you two? Why are you arguing?"

"Hmph!" After being stopped by Zhou Bingkun, Aunt Qiao glared at him and then stormed off.

After Aunt Qiao left, Li Suhua plopped down on a stool and glared at Zhou Bingkun.

Faced with Li Suhua's gaze, Zhou Bingkun asked with some confusion, "Mom, why did you and Aunt Qiao start arguing? And why are you glaring at me like that?"

"It's all because of you!" Li Suhua recounted the whole story with some frustration.

After listening to Li Suhua's story, Zhou Bingkun said helplessly, "Mom, how can you blame me! I don't like Chunyan, so am I supposed to go against my conscience and be with her? If I really did that, it would be irresponsible to both of our families! If something happens in the future, it will only make things worse."

Li Suhua did not refute. In fact, she was not really angry with Zhou Bingkun, but Aunt Qiao's words were too harsh, so she took her anger out on Zhou Bingkun.

Li Suhua sighed and looked at Zhou Bingkun, saying, "Now that I think about it, it might not be a bad thing that you didn't get together with Chunyan! If you two really did get together, who knows how your mother-in-law would have messed with you in the future!"

"Mom, don't be angry! It's not worth ruining your health!" Zhou Bingkun said to Li Suhua. "Go inside and rest. I'll cook dinner!"

Li Suhua shook her head and said, "How can that be? You've been working all day, how can I ask you to cook when you get home?"

"Go back to your room and rest! I'll call you when it's time to eat!"

With that, Li Suhua stood up and pushed Zhou Bingkun out of the kitchen.

Standing at the kitchen doorway, Zhou Bingkun said to Li Suhua, "Mom, how about this, I'll have Zheng Juan come over to keep you company for the next couple of days, cook for you, and do chores. It'll also be a good opportunity for you to check on her and see how well she does housework!"

Hearing Zhou Bingkun's words, Li Suhua hesitated for a moment: "You two aren't married yet, so how about we have Zheng Juan come to our house to help out?"

She was indeed somewhat tempted and wanted to observe Zheng Juan more closely.

After all, Zhou Bingkun had already made up his mind to be with Zheng Juan, so as her mother, she still had to keep an eye on things for her son.

"Of course, no problem!" Zhou Bingkun patted his chest and assured him.

Li Suhua nodded: "Okay, if Zheng Juan has time, please have her come over!"

“Okay! I’ll have her come over tomorrow!” Zhou Bingkun said with a smile.

Back in his room, Zhou Bingkun discovered that Xiao Shan had tagged him in the chat group.

Group admin Xiao Shan: "@Zhou Bingkun, Bingkun, how are things going between you and Zheng Juan now?"

Zhou Bingkun: "Progress is going well! My mom is slowly accepting Zheng Juan's existence!"

Zhang Chulan: "That's good! Once you're of marriageable age, hurry up and get married! Otherwise, your dad might cause trouble when he comes back!"

Zhou Bingkun: "Yes! I know!"

The world of courtyard houses, the city of Beijing.

After inquiring about the recent situation of the chat group members, Xiao Shan went into the bedroom, sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), and continued his cultivation.

The next day, Xiao Shan went to and from get off work as usual.

On her way home from get off work, she happened to run into Liu Haizhong, who looked rather grumpy.

Liu Haizhong looked like this because he was scolded by the workshop director in front of his other colleagues today, which made Liu Haizhong feel very embarrassed!

Looking at Liu Haizhong's face, Xiao Shan knew that his good brother Liu Guangtian was probably in trouble today!

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Haizhong got home, Xiao Shan, who had entered the backyard shortly after him, heard him shouting from inside the house: "You little bastards, get out here!"

"It seems Second Uncle is in a bit of a temper today! Guangtian, I hope you're alright!" Xiao Shan said as he opened the door and entered the house, silently praying for Liu Guangtian.
