As soon as the news spread, the villagers in Liujin Village were extremely envious!
Especially those who have children who go hunting with them, they will go crazy with joy!
Village Chief Lu was also happy from ear to ear.
Although his family also has a son who followed Qiao Huaping into the woods, he should be happy, but what makes him even happier is that as a village chief, Qiao Huaping led everyone to hunt so much prey and was willing to share it equally, which meant that many families had more
With this generous subsidy, it couldn't be better.
The villagers who knew how to do archery but didn't follow Qiao Huaping felt regretful.
But it’s no wonder that others didn’t go. Who told them not to go?
The villagers who followed Qiao Huaping were all beaming with joy, with smiles on their faces and hearts.
Even the few veteran hunters in the village were working as a team this time, and they wanted to express their admiration for Qiao Huaping.
Qiao Huaping leads the team, so happy!
She can judge, track, and direct people to move around and kill her prey!
When they go to the county tomorrow, these large quantities of prey will definitely be sold at a good price!
There is a happy atmosphere everywhere in the village.
Even the Zhou Xu family was very happy because Zhou Xiaoqing went with them and got a few taels of silver.
Mrs. Xu couldn't stand the atmosphere, and said in a sour voice: "What does it have to do with us when they share money? Look at how happy they are... She is very powerful, but she would rather not play with us old, weak, sick and disabled people."
Watch us die!"
Naturally, the person he was talking about was Qiao Huaping.
Several women who were sitting together to rest and chat couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Mrs. Xu's words.
They, Liujin Village, have always had a close relationship with each other. Although they were envious when someone else got a huge amount of money, they actually earned it themselves. They were envious, and of course there was a little bit of jealousy. But they were not.
As for saying this without conscience - why don't you take the old, weak, sick and disabled to play? You would rather see them die.
Back then, Mrs. Qiao taught everyone without any secrets, regardless of gender or age!
It's just that some people are really bad at accuracy and there really is no way to do it. You can't blame Mrs. Qiao for this!
When Mrs. Xu said this, even though she had always had a good relationship with her, she couldn't help but move her butt slightly, further away from Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu noticed the alienation of others towards her, and her face turned red with anger: "I am complaining for us! Why are you -"
The other women couldn't help but think, what's the point of complaining? It's just that Mrs. Xu couldn't stand Mrs. Qiao because of her son's relationship...
At this moment, someone happily ran over. Seeing a few people under the shade of the tree, he happily informed: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and line up on the west side of the forest!"
"What's the queue? What's going on?"
"It's the big wild boar that Madam Qiao hunted! That wild boar was really big. Madam Qiao said that after killing it tonight, one pound will be given to each household in our village!"
As soon as these words came out, several women became excited: "Oh, this is so cute!"
Mrs. Xu's face darkened.
Just now she was saying that Qiao Huaping looked down on them, but before her words dissipated in the air, someone came to tell them that Qiao Huaping gave each household a pound of meat!
Mrs. Xu held back the sour water and said in a sour tone: "It's only a pound... How can we eat enough when there are so many people in the family? You must be stingy."
Now, even the woman who had the best relationship with Mrs. Xu couldn't listen anymore.
She squinted at Mrs. Xu: "Sister Xu, you can't say that, Mrs. Qiao doesn't owe us anything. If she is willing to improve the food for the whole village, that's because she has a kind heart! Is it possible that we have to let Mrs. Qiao take care of us?
Can I eat meat until I’m full? I don’t have such a big face!”
"That's right, our village has a large population, with nearly a hundred households, so we need nearly a hundred kilograms of pork! That's a hundred kilograms of pork, how come it's in your mouth and you can't even get enough of it?"
"Haha, maybe people don't like it, right? I said, Sister Xu, if you don't like it, it's okay. I'll go get the pound of meat for you."
Mrs. Xu's face turned even darker.
Several other women were too lazy to care about her anymore and hurriedly made an appointment to go to the west end of the forest.
Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth and went over to line up still dejectedly.
…
The big wild boar, which was nearly three hundred kilograms, had been slaughtered by the villagers who knew how to butcher pigs.
The eldest son of the Gu family was also pulled into a strong position, and he was given a sharp knife to help divide the meat.
The whole forest was as lively as the Chinese New Year. Everyone was smiling and queuing up without fighting.
Mrs. Xu held her grandson's hand, stood quietly at the back of the queue, and followed in line to receive the meat.
Sister Du picked up a knife of meat and walked home happily. When she passed the end of the line, she saw Mrs. Xu and curled her lips.
You really have the nerve!
However, Sister Du's eyes fell on the child held by Mrs. Xu. The child was also chubby when he first escaped from the famine, but now he has become thinner and emaciated.
Sister Du paused slightly.
Although she despised Mrs. Xu, for the sake of her children, she didn't say anything. She just deliberately snorted at Mrs. Xu, shook her head, and left.
Mrs. Xu looked ugly.
Since there were several people in front helping to divide the meat, it went very quickly.
Soon it was Mrs. Xu's turn.
Seeing that there was still more than half a fan of wild boar meat left, Mrs. Xu couldn't care anymore, her eyes were shining, she stretched her neck and urged: "Cut more for me! It's not easy for me to be an old woman with a child!"
"
Although Mrs. Xu is annoying, what she said is also true.
The child is innocent after all.
Gu Yiyang, the boss of the Gu family who was holding the knife, hesitated for a moment and cut Mrs. Xu a little more.
Who knows that Mrs. Xu is still not satisfied: "That's it?! Can't you give me more? Isn't there still a lot left?"
Gu Yiyang coughed: "Aunt Xu, it's almost done. Everyone only weighs about one catty. The rest will have to be sold tomorrow."
"Why are Ms. Qiao's little hooves so stingy?" Mrs. Xu let out a dissatisfied "tsk", and then recited the same words over and over again like old phlegm, complaining, "...If it weren't for her, my son wouldn't have left, and he wouldn't have left.
There won’t be any two of us left... With such a small amount of meat, even my little grandson won’t be able to eat.”
Gu Yiyang felt his head grow heavy as he listened to Mrs. Xu's words.
Qiao Huaping came from a distance and heard Mrs. Xu talking about it. She laughed and said loudly: "If you think it's too little, just put the meat down. I don't have to share it with you."
When Mrs. Xu heard this, her expression suddenly changed. She didn't care about anything, she picked up the piece of meat and ran faster than anyone else.
The nearby villagers were all pointing. Because they had someone like Mrs. Xu as a comparison, they had an additional understanding of Qiao Huaping's good character.
How does Village Chief Lu look at Qiao Huaping now?
He was still a little regretful that his two sons were already married and his grandson was still young. Otherwise, he really wanted his juniors to marry Qiao Huaping.
If anyone is lucky enough to get such a good girl with unparalleled intelligence, wisdom and courage, and a broad mind, their ancestors' graves will be filled with smoke!
In the evening, the forest was filled with the unique aroma of cooking meat, and there was constant laughter and laughter. Village Chief Lu was in a trance for a while, and could not help but burst into tears.
