70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 43: Dividing the Meat
"Daughter, did you really do this?" Xu Hai looked at his daughter with difficulty, feeling a bit incredulous; his daughter was still the same soft and tender girl.
"Big Uncle, it was really big sister who did it. Big sister is amazing," Xu Jiaojiao’s little face was flushed with excitement, admiring her big sister to the extreme.
"That’s right, that’s right, sister is so strong; she punched the wild boar to death with just one hit," Tiedan was very excited, as if he had killed the wild boar himself.
"It was indeed me. I just have a bit more strength," Xu Mumu said with a smile.
Her strength was indeed quite significant; although she didn’t know why traveling through time didn’t diminish it, it was a good thing for her, enabling her to protect herself.
"How strong?" Xu Po asked curiously, thinking that to punch a wild boar to death would require strength of hundreds or even thousands of pounds.
This kind of strength was definitely not something an ordinary person could have.
Xu Mumu looked at the stone she had just been sitting on, and with force stomped on it; the stone immediately shattered into several pieces.
This scene directly bewildered Xu Hai and Xu Po; the stone was solid, and it shattered just like that. Was this a trick?
Xu Po even tried stepping on it himself, but couldn’t shatter it at all.
"Sister, when did your strength become so great?" Xu Minghui asked curiously. It was a pity his sister wasn’t a boy; if this strength was on a boy, a lot could be accomplished.
"Since I fell into the water, I don’t know what happened, but my strength just increased," Xu Mumu answered with a smile. She was quite happy that neither her brother nor father treated her like a freak.
"That’s good too; this way, no one will dare bully my daughter," Xu Hai’s eyes lit up, his focus clearly differing from others.
"Big brother is right," Xu Po nodded with difficulty. Indeed, with Xu Mumu’s kind of strength, no one would dare bully her. Even the strongest man could not shatter such a large solid stone in one step, right?
"Dad, we should quickly take this wild boar back and clean it up," Xu Minghui twitched his mouth; Xu Hai’s focus was off, and he had also led the Fourth Uncle’s focus astray.
"Right, right, we almost forgot the main task," Xu Hai immediately took out a rope and, together with Xu Po, tied up the wild boar.
"It’s quite heavy," Xu Po said with a smile.
"Selling it could surely get us a good amount of money," Xu Hai imagined, dreaming about selling it for a lot.
"Dad, let’s just sell a portion and keep the rest to eat," Xu Mumu directly refused, hearing Xu Hai’s intention to sell the entire pig, which she couldn’t agree with—it was hard enough to improve their diet, how could everything be sold?
"Alright, if Mumu wants to eat, then we’ll save some after cleaning up the pig," Xu Hai said with a cheerful smile; he too wanted to eat meat.
They stopped several times to rest along the way, carefully avoiding people before finally returning to the Old Xu Family’s house.
"Jiaojiao, go boil some water. Fourth uncle, come help me clean it up," Xu Hai immediately started directing people.
Xu Po moved even more swiftly, not even needing Xu Hai’s instructions—helping out now would mean getting more meat later.
Xu Tao and Xu Minghui also helped to clean up the wild boar. Every year at the brigade during New Year, they slaughtered pigs, so they had seen it many times. Even if they hadn’t done it themselves, they knew the general process.
By the time Xu Hai and his brother had cleaned up the pig bristles and such, the Old Xu family members had all returned.
Everyone stared wide-eyed; previously they didn’t know the reason for the leave, but now they understood.
"Old man, where did this pig come from?" Madam Chen’s heart trembled; encountering a wild boar was too dangerous, as few people could deal with it.
"This is what Mumu hunted. Mumu is strong and killed it with one punch. Mom, daughters-in-law, hurry up and clean up the entrails," Xu Hai said proudly.
Madam Chen directly ordered her daughters-in-law to work, though they had already divided the family, but as their mother-in-law, she could still command her daughters-in-law.
The pig blood had also congealed, making it faster to clean with more people, though the innards had a strong smell, wild boars ate anything, giving them a heavy odor. However, no one at home disliked it now; it just took a bit of water to clean them thoroughly, after all, they were still meat.
"Dad, let’s give each family ten jin of meat. Tiedan’s house should also get ten jin, the rest we can sell," Xu Mumu said, looking at those large chunks of meat, secretly swallowing her saliva, thinking that if she knew there were wild boars on the mountain, she’d definitely go for a stroll there every weekend morning to hunt.
"Isn’t that a bit too much?" Li Caixia widened her eyes, wondering why her daughter was becoming so generous—this wasn’t a good habit.
"Mom, Second Aunt and Fourth Aunt helped with cleaning, Dad and Fourth Uncle took it down, and Tiedan and others also helped," Xu Mumu said helplessly. Her intention was to keep them quiet, as she didn’t want the wild boar hunting to spread.
"Do as Mumu says," Old Xu said calmly, understanding his granddaughter’s intent. Xu Laosan’s gaze scanned over the daughters-in-law. "No one is allowed to speak of the wild boar incident."
"Don’t worry, Dad, I definitely won’t tell," Li Caixia was the first to assure; if others knew there was meat at home, they’d swarm her house.
"I won’t say anything either," Sun Huiping said, barely concealing her laughter. Helping move a wild boar home earned her ten jin of meat for free. Though its taste wasn’t as good as domestic pork, it was still meat.
"I won’t say anything either," Qian Ying immediately guaranteed.
"Sir Xu, I’ll make sure my mom doesn’t blab about it," Tiedan promised, patting his chest. His family was already divided, and he had several uncles; if the meat was known, he’d get less to eat. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
"Good boy," Xu Mumu smiled, patting the little guy, clearly understanding his intentions.
"In the afternoon, Dad and I will take it. I know some people who would be willing to pay more for it," Xu Minghui said with a grin. Previously, he’d dealt with wild game at the black market, so he knew a few people there.
"Go ahead, go ahead. In the afternoon, I’ll request leave from the big team leader’s house. Old lady, hurry and prepare the meals; let’s eat together today. Eat the blood cakes, and later we’ll distribute a bit for each family," Old Xu said calmly.
"Old man, should we send some over to Old Third? He’s probably not doing well in the city," Madam Chen hesitated.
"No sending, why bother with him, let him be damned," Upon mentioning Xu Laosan, Old Xu’s anger flared uncontrollably.
