Southwest.

Snow-covered Toad Mountain.

At the entrance to the mountain road, strong villagers kept running in with hoes, sticks and iron forks.

Each of them looked excited and their eyes were shining.

Several people fell down because they were going too fast.

My knees were broken.

But he still got up and ran inside.

Obviously, no one wants to miss this opportunity to hunt a big wild boar.

No, exactly.

No one wants to miss this good opportunity to eat meat.

But the old, weak, women and children who came after hearing the news.

But they were stopped by two strong men guarding Toad Mountain.

On the surface, the reason why they were not allowed to enter Toad Mountain was because they were afraid of danger.

In fact, I was afraid that these old, weak, women and children would divide the wild boar meat.

After all, there are only so many big wild boars.

I don't know if it can be hunted or not.

However, there were hundreds of villagers participating in the hunt.

Under such circumstances, it is natural that the elderly, weak, women and children cannot be allowed to participate.

Otherwise, if the wild boar is finally hunted down, each person may not have a few kilograms of pork.

Of course, stopping these old, weak, women and children is also a matter of judgment.

If there is a young and strong man in the family who has already participated in hunting the big wild boar.

The two strong men guarding the entrance to the mountain road.

He would just turn a blind eye and let them in.

But if there are no young adults in the family, or there are not one or two who can work hard.

I'm sorry, even if I entered Toad Mountain shamelessly.

Then there will definitely be no wild boar meat in the end.

Such an unwritten rule.

It has been in the whole Zhangmu Township for several years.

As for why this happened, it was obviously caused by famine.

If there is plenty of food, there will be plenty to eat and drink.

Definitely not going to do that.

This is actually a manifestation of natural selection and survival of the fittest.

Although it is a bit cruel, the old, weak, women and children are vulnerable groups.

In the tide of the times, some things that should be eliminated will still be eliminated.

Jiang Chuyang’s mother Li Hongyu is in Jiangjia Village.

Obviously they also belong to the ranks of old, weak, women and children.

Because his husband Jiang Yongkang has not been home for more than a year.

No news came back.

This is actually no different from a widow without her husband.

So there is nothing wrong with being labeled as old, weak, women and children by the villagers.

But today, when she was repairing canals, she was moved when she heard people everywhere in Jiangjia Village shouting about catching wild boars.

In order to prevent being driven away by other villagers, she specially called the old village chief of Jiangjia Village, as well as other young wives and aunts who were repairing canals.

For no other reason than to be able to eat a meal of wild boar, which is enough for people like them who are raising a family.

After all, no matter what, the aroma of meat can only be smelled during the Chinese New Year.

However, dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Two strong men at the entrance to the Toad Mountain trail.

He did not stop the old village chief.

He didn't stop his wife and aunt either.

But he was the only one who stopped Li Hongyu: "Aunt Li, you look as thin as a stick, can you follow me to hunt wild boars? So! Let's go home quickly!"

"That's right. Stop making noises. It won't be good if you get hurt by a wild boar."

"I...I..." Li Hongyu was so uncomfortable that she didn't know how to answer.

To her, isn't this a clear sign of bullying?

"Xiao Zhuzhu, can you please, for my sake, let Yongkang's daughter-in-law go in and join in the hunting?" When the old village chief, who was smoking a dry cigarette, saw this, he sighed softly and begged for Li Hongyu's love.

"Yes! Let Aunt Li go! It's not easy for their family." A young daughter-in-law couldn't help but echoed.

"But the question is, even if I let Aunt Li in, will she get a share of wild boar meat?" The strong man named Xiaozhuli reminded him after hearing this.

"This..." the old village chief was speechless.

The other young wives and aunt also fell silent one by one.

After all, what Xiao Zhuzhu said is right. Li Hongyu's family doesn't have a decent labor force now.

Under such circumstances, what if we entered Toad Mountain with the help of the old village chief's relationship?

I'm afraid that when the time comes to divide the meat, I'll be chased away by the hunters hunting for the big wild boar.

This kind of thing happened often in previous years, but now Jiang Yongkang is no longer in Jiangjiacun.

Jiang Chuyang at home is very small, so it would be strange if he could get wild boar meat.

Unless the boss Jiang Guoqing, who is serving as a soldier in other places, comes back.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to get a share of the meat.

Li Hongyu naturally knew the inside story.

What’s more, I also have self-awareness.

When she saw the old village chief, he didn't even speak for her.

He covered his face, cried and ran towards Shiniu Mountain.

"Hongyu..." The old village chief was afraid that Li Hongyu would not be able to think about it, so he quickly chased after her.

But after chasing him two meters away, he stopped and did not continue.

Because he knew that Li Hongyu was strong.

There are two children at home who need to eat.

So at this time, I will never seek death.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so shameless as to participate in the rounding up of wild boars.

After this thought fell, a tall villager with a full beard ran out of the Toad Mountain intersection angrily.

His appearance is similar to Jiang Chuyang's. He is Jiang Yongkang's fifth brother 'Jiang Yongbiao', which is also Jiang Chuyang's fifth uncle.

Seeing that everyone around him was looking at him with some fear, he yelled at the top of his lungs: "Who bullied my second sister-in-law just now?"

Jiang Chuyang's father, Jiang Yongkang, was the second eldest child in the family, with an eldest sister above him.

Therefore, in the eyes of the descendants of the Jiang family, Li Hongyu is the second sister-in-law.

And Jiang Yongbiao's strong voice came out.

The strong man named Xiaozhu was so frightened that he almost lost his balance.

I want to run, but my legs can't move forward.

When Jiang Yongbiao saw this, he stepped forward and argued with his fists.

After all, his second brother was very kind to him.

Although this person is no longer here.

But it is impossible to watch the second sister-in-law being bullied.

Even if you can't share the pork, other villagers can't bully you.

"Yongbiao, don't mess around and break the rules of Zhangmu Township!" The old village chief quickly stopped Jiang Yongbiao, his voice was low and unquestionable.
