Chapter 9 Harvest (2)

The ancients were very superstitious and generally believed in things like dreams and omens, so there was talk of dream interpretation. It was precisely because of this that Mu Caiwei dared to talk nonsense to her mother.

"Mom, if this really happens, if we don't go, will it be disrespectful to the gods? Will we be punished by the gods?"

She said it quite solemnly, and Du Shi couldn't help but pay attention to it. She thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Let's go to Lao Zhou's house and beg Jiu Jin and his father to take us into the mountain to have a look. If there is anything, everyone will be happy. If not, it will clear up our suspicions."

After the mother and daughter discussed it, they went to Jiujin's house together. When they arrived at Jiujin's house, Caiwei described her dream again.

Zhou Jiujin was eager to have the opportunity to stay with Caiwei. Before Caiwei could finish her words, he patted his chest and agreed. Although Jiujin's father, Zhou Laowu, didn't believe in dreams, he happily agreed in order to fulfill his son's wish.

The way up the mountain was not lonely. Along the way, Zhou Laowu spared no effort to praise his son. He talked about everything in heaven and earth about how capable Jiu Jin was and how sensible he was. He also made it clear that the couple had no daughter. When a girl enters his house, the couple must treat their daughter-in-law as their daughter...

Regarding Jiuzhou Laowu's vague hint, Mu Caiwei expressed her helplessness. As a senior leftover woman in her thirties, she would never have any feelings for a child who has just grown up.

Fortunately, the road was not far, and Zhou Laowu had already arrived before he finished nagging.

"Look, there!"

Caiwei's sharp eyes saw the black object lying in the hay at a glance.

"Oh my god! I didn't expect such a thing to happen!"

Zhou Laowu was so shocked that his eyes almost came out of his sockets, and Du Shi was so surprised that she covered her mouth and was speechless. Only Caiwei remained calm. She directed Jiujin to take out the rope and tied the four hooves of the wild boar, and then Thread a stick through the rope, and then call Uncle Zhou to help carry the pig.

"Hey, dear, I'm afraid this pig must weigh more than three hundred kilograms." As soon as he lifted the pig, Zhou Laowu came to a conclusion.

"Sister Wei'er, you are really capable!" Jiujin turned his head and praised Caiwei with a blushing face.

Du Shi finally woke up from the initial shock. She was so excited that she wiped away her tears and looked at the fat wild boar in front of her with tears. It seemed like what I was seeing were bags of bulging grain and rice, pieces of thick and warm cotton-padded clothes, full and round bellies, and fair and round faces...

With this wild boar, life at home suddenly becomes more promising!

The wild boar was carried down the mountain by the Zhou family and his son. As soon as it entered the village, it caused a strong sensation in the village.

"Mu Xiucai's family picked up a wild boar."

Everyone rushed to tell each other, either envious, jealous, or both. In short, before long, the house was filled with villagers watching the wild boar.

"Hey, what a big wild boar. It's really rare to be so big!"

"Xiu Cainiang, your family is prosperous. I heard that wild boar meat is more valuable than domestic pork!"

"Isn't it? Domestic pork sells for 30 Wen per catty, and wild boar sells for 50 Wen per catty! This wild boar looks like it weighs more than 300 jins, 355, with the skin and bones removed. Oops, it's amazing. This pig can be sold for thirteen or four taels of silver at least!"

The neighbors were talking a lot, and Mrs. Du, with a comfortable smile on her face, made a rare loud noise, poured water for everyone and gave up her seat.

"My second son, I heard that your family picked up a wild boar early in the morning, is it true?" An impatient voice came from outside the house, followed by the sound of rapid footsteps.

Mu Caiwei's heart tightened and her beautiful eyebrows furrowed tightly.

The owner of this voice, Mu Zhongli, is the eldest son of the Mu family and the eldest brother of his father, Mu Zhongqing. This man is greedy and treacherous by nature, and he talks sweetly but never uses his sword. Every time he comes to Caiwei's house, he either asks for money or things on an excuse, and he never does anything good. Because he lives with Mu Liankui and Mu Bai, the two elders prefer this obedient and sensible eldest son to Mu Zhongqing. They help him with everything and do all the good things at home. But he can.

"Brother, you are here, please sit down." Du Shi moved a stool and respectfully asked Mu Zhongli to take a seat.

Mu Zhongli waved his hand and said, "There's no need to sit down. Mom just heard about the wild boar picked up at your house and asked me to come over and let you know. I'll unload the wild boar later and send half of it to my parents." "
