After Hu Jiao left, Hu Lao Er and Hu Lao San came back from the mountain.
The family's cows are about to give birth, and they have been looking for the freshest and tenderest grass in the mountains these days for the two cows to eat.
Mrs. Hu told Mr. Hu what had just happened. After listening to Mr. Hu, he said very guiltily: "I'm sorry, mother. I have made you angry because of this all these years. If she really doesn't want to come back,
, just let her go."
"Those two bastards..."
"Isn't there still me here? There is also a sister-in-law, a younger brother and a sister-in-law, and the two cubs will be able to raise them well." The second tiger comforted his mother.
Before Mrs. Tiger could sigh, Mr. Xiong’s Xiong One, Xiong Two, and Xiong Three ran over. Each of them held an animal skin in their hands and began to say hello from a distance:
"Grandma Tiger, my mother asked me to exchange chickens for chickens, and I have to choose the fattest and biggest ones."
It turned out that Boss Tiger had a good relationship with the Xiong brothers, so their family was the first to be notified.
The old tiger took the animal skins held by the cubs and said to them with a smile: "Then you choose for yourself. Let Xiaofu and the others go in and catch whichever one is fatter and bigger."
When Hushan heard that this was a good job, he quickly jumped into the fence and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it."
Mrs. Tiger went in to deliver the animal skins, and when she came out, the three cubs of the Xiong family already had a chicken in their hands.
"I picked it up so quickly." Mrs. Hu said with a smile.
"You've picked it, Grandma Tiger." Xiong Yi stretched out his hand and wiped his nose, saying happily.
"Okay, okay." Mrs. Hu agreed while looking at the chickens in their hands. She immediately saw the problem.
"Are you going to keep the chickens after you catch them or eat them for meat?" she asked.
"Of course I will keep them. Mom is making a nest with her fourth brother at home. Mom said that not only will she keep them, but she will also learn how to hatch chicks from Bird Five and Bird Six in the future." Xiong Yi said with some pride.
"Then there's something wrong with the three chickens you caught." Old Mrs. Hu said.
"What's the problem?" Xiong Yi looked at the chicken in his hand, then at the chickens in the hands of his two brothers, and asked doubtfully: "There's no problem, they're all fat and big."
"But these three are all roosters. Who will lay the eggs in the future and how will they hatch the chicks?" Mrs. Hu explained to them.
"Ah?" Not only the Xiong family's cubs, but also the Hushan family opened their mouths wide, "Are they all roosters?"
"That's right!" Mrs. Tiger took the chickens from Xiong Er and Xiong San, threw them back into the fence, and said: "If you want to hatch chicks, just keep one rooster and catch two more hens.
That’s it.”
After saying that, she directed Hushan to pick out two large hens and handed them to Xiong Er and Xiong San.
He said to them: "Quie Wu and Que Six said that these chickens like to eat the fruits of a kind of scum grass on the mountain. If you have nothing to do, go to the mountain and pick some back. There are also some insects. Chickens can eat these things.
It grows fast.”
Xiong Yi scratched his head and said, "I have already remembered it, Grandma Tiger. If there is anything else my mother doesn't know, let her ask you."
"Okay, okay, go back quickly." Mrs. Hu waved to them.
Soon, several orcs exchanged animal skins for chickens. There were very few tribesmen like Boss Xiong who could take out three animal skins at once, so most of them later exchanged one or two at most.
Only.
Mrs. Tiger counted the chickens in the fence. When there were eight chickens left, she stopped changing them.
She said to the tribesmen who came from behind: "We plan to raise the remaining chickens ourselves, and after the chicks are hatched, everyone will replace them."
"That will take a long time!" Some tribesmen couldn't wait.
Mrs. Hu smiled and consoled her: "It won't take long, I will definitely be able to change it before the cold season."
"Then you must leave two for me then!"
"And me, I want two too!"
The tribesmen all shouted loudly.
"I can't promise you this. I don't know how many will be hatched by then. If it's more, everyone will have a share. If it's less, those who can't be exchanged will have to wait until next year. There's always a chance."
"Oh, Sister-in-law Tiger, our requirements are not high. If we only have two in a family, it would be enough for you to hatch more than a hundred." A tribesman joked.
After hearing this, the other beasts present burst into laughter.
More than a hundred chickens seemed like an astronomical number to them. They couldn't even imagine that there could be a hundred chickens in the tribe.
How rich that is.
"Okay, okay, I'll try my best. Everyone, please go back first." Mrs. Hu waved to them.
After all the clan members had dispersed, calm was restored in front of the Hu's cave.
During dinner, everyone tacitly didn't mention Hu Jiao.
Hu Shou and Hu Nan just watched their grandma slap their mother, and then her mother ran away from home.
They felt quite uncomfortable.
I don’t know why, my mother always quarreled with her grandma, but neither Hushan’s mother nor my eldest brother’s mother would quarrel with her grandma.
They didn't know what they should say, but when they ate, they ate less than usual.
…
Hu Jiao has returned to Hu's house at this time,
When Hu Qing saw her, she was stunned for a long time.
"I didn't call you today, why are you back?" she asked.
"Mom, Mrs. Hu hit me." After Hu Jiao finished speaking, she started crying in aggrieved manner.
Hu Qing shouted impatiently: "Stop crying!"
Seeing the doubt in Hu Jiao's tear-filled eyes, she had to pretend to be patient and asked: "Stop crying, what's wrong?"
Hu Jiao then told the whole story intermittently.
After hearing this, Hu Qing was silent for a long time.
Is this daughter really her biological child? Why are you so stupid? I told her last time that she should keep an eye on the Hu family, but she actually ran home at this time.
"Mrs. Hu is not like this for a day or two. Don't be angry. Just be patient when you need to be patient. Then go back after you eat." Hu Qing said.
Hujiao ran home to gain sympathy and support. Unexpectedly, her mother asked her to go back today.
"I won't go back, I want to live at home."
"Our family is almost out of food now. If there is one more of you, will we have to drink dew every day?"
"Mom, I can also go out to find food. I can pick fruits and catch chickens in the mountains. I don't have to eat the food at home." Hu Jiao said.
None of the orcs in the Hu family would go to the mountains to pick fruits. Hu Jiao didn't mention it, and Hu Qing had almost forgotten about it, but she was more interested in what Hu Jiao said about catching chickens.
"There are chickens on the mountain again? Wasn't it only the Hu family that could catch them before?"
"But now there are more chickens on the mountain. A few cubs from the Hu family caught more than forty chickens today!" Hu Jiao said.
"What?" Hu Qing's eyes widened, and his round eyeballs almost fell out.
"Four...more than forty?"
