Sister-in-law from a poor family

Chapter 13 Mother's Heart
The communication between Qin Mianmian and Fu Jingbo was unexpectedly smooth every time.

So smoothly, she often doubted whether Fu Chen and others' comments on Jing Bo were correct.

Could it be that this person was so taciturn that they gave up communicating with him and simply labeled him as a fool?

But after seeing Fu Jingbo being so obedient, she felt that this was unlikely.

After all, if he is a man of few words, he must be very cold. How could such a cold person do whatever Qin Mianmian says.

For example, now, Qin Mianmian asked him to move a rock and knock the wild boar unconscious, but he actually did it.

The wild boar, which was still struggling on the ground just now, and its howling was still giving people a headache, suddenly lost its voice.

Seeing the decisiveness with which he struck, Qin Mianmian couldn't help but feel a little weird.

Is this a decision made as quickly as a fool should?

Just as she was dazed, Fu Jingbo had already picked up the wild boar and the noose.

The noose was originally trapped on a bush, and even a hundred-pound wild boar could not break it. One can imagine how strong the rope made of vines was.

But Fu Jingbo just lifted the wild boar's front legs and pulled it up, and the noose broke.

Qin Mianmian:
The wild boar must have nearly broken the vine when it was struggling, so Fu Jingbo broke it so easily.

It must be so!
When she was thinking this, Fu Jingbo, who was carrying the wild boar, had already walked up to her.

Seeing her in a daze, he simply took the badger pig from her hand.

Without saying anything after receiving the call, he just carried the wild boar and walked down the mountain.

Qin Mianmian held a hatchet and stood there stunned for a while, then quickly caught up with him.

Carrying a wild boar, Fu Jingbo naturally didn't care about the firewood he had chopped just now.

Fortunately, it's not far from here, so it doesn't hurt to come back to bundle firewood after they finish dealing with the wild boar.

It was already past noon when the two of them got home, and Fu Chen was at home planning to make vegetable dumplings again using the newly found wild vegetables.

When she saw Fu Jingbo coming back carrying a wild boar, she was stunned.

"This is what you hunted?" She waited until Fu Jingbo dropped the wild boar on the ground before she found her voice.

I had known that there were wild boars in the mountains, but there were no hunters in this village, and few hunters from other places came here.

To be honest, everyone in the village hates wild boars.

Other wild animals are fine, but this wild boar is annoying. It will eat the things in the fields when they are about to be harvested.

Whether it is corn or sweet potatoes, if wild boars are attacked, the harvest will be reduced by at least half.

In this day and age, the yield of the fields is already low, and they still have to pay taxes.
How many people are starving because of these wild boars, and have to break their meals into three meals.

Last year, the Fu family's land was overrun by wild boars. Less than half of the corn was broken off, and most of the sweet potatoes were overrun.

If it weren't for this, their family would be able to have a meal of sweet potato rice now, so there would be no need to eat stick noodles every day.

Mrs. Fu Chen, who hated wild boars very much, was overflowing with happiness when she saw the wild boar in the yard.

Wild boars are detestable in the mountains, but once caught, they are just walking meat.

Poor people like them rarely see meat and fish meat a few times a year. How could their eyes not light up when they saw pigs?

What's more, the meat can be sold.

Fangfang, who sprained her leg, originally planned to go see Xiao Huzi later with a piece of firewood and return his backpack to him.

When he saw his eldest brother and Qin Mianmian bringing back a wild boar, his eyes widened. "Wild boar, do we have any meat to eat today?" she shouted in surprise.

Qin Mianmian glanced at her, smiled, and went to the kitchen to grab a ladle of water.

On a hot day, I was really thirsty after coming back from the mountain. The cool water from the well really made me feel better.

After drinking the water, he took a big ladle from the water jar and handed it to Fu Jingbo, who had also just returned from the mountain.

"Drink some water. Later we will transport the wild boar to the town and sell it." She said.

"Ah? Sell it?" Fangfang pouted, a little disappointed.

"It has to be sold. We can't hold it in this hot weather. If we don't sell it as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will stink tomorrow." Fu Chen finally came to her senses and took the water from Fu Jingbo's hand after he finished drinking it. water ladle.

Then he was a bit confused: "But we don't have a wheelbarrow at home. Do we have to carry it to the town?"

When she said this, she glanced at Fu Jingbo with distressed eyes.

This wild boar weighs over a hundred pounds, and it's not that close to the town.
How tiring it would be to carry it.

"If I have no choice, I have to carry it." Qin Mianmian pursed her lower lip: "Unless I can borrow a car."

"But today is the market, and all the families in the village who have cars have gone to the town with their carts to go to the market. The only one who didn't go" Fu Chen paused, looking at a loss for words.

"Mom, tell me directly, whose family it is." Qin Mianmian also noticed that she was in trouble and asked directly.

"It's your Aunt Luo's house." Fu Chen lowered her voice. It was obvious that she didn't want to borrow a car from Luo's house.

Luo Che is so smart, how could she not take advantage if she borrowed a car.

For a person like her, a dog would get its hair picked up if it walked in front of the door, and Qin Mianmian didn't want to deal with such a person.

"Then I won't borrow it." She simply said, "It's just the person who has to work hard to carry the pig."

When she said this, she was not looking at Fu Jingbo, but at Fu Chen.

Sure enough, Mrs. Fu Chen looked distressed and almost wanted to stop her.

"We are short of money. If we sell an extra pound of meat, we can make more money." Qin Mianmian reminded in a low voice.

It wasn't like she didn't notice that Fu Chen was hesitant. If Qin Mianmian didn't speak, she would probably borrow the car because she felt sorry for her son.

Then, the result was that she was willingly tricked by Wan Luo Shi again.

Over there, Fu Jingbo didn't know whether he heard what they said or not. As soon as Qin Mianmian finished speaking, he picked up the wild boar on the ground again and threw it on his shoulder.

The movements were smooth and fluid, and seemed very easy.

The corner of Qin Mianmian's mouth twitched. It seemed that it wasn't very difficult for Fu Jingbo to carry the wild boar to the town.

Before she could say anything, Fu Chen exclaimed.

"Do you really want to carry it to the town? Or let's eat something before going. You just came back from the mountains, you must be hungry."

As he said this, he wanted to help, as if he was afraid that Fu Jingbo would twist his waist.

The person she was worried about couldn't hear her at all, or if they heard it, they pretended not to hear her and just walked out carrying the wild boar.

Qin Mianmian raised her eyebrows, with a look of helplessness on her face, patted Fu Chen on the shoulder and followed her.

"Don't worry, mother, we will find something to eat after we sell the wild boars in town." As he said this, he waved his hands to say goodbye to the Fu family and his daughter.

Mrs. Fu Chen looked at them with sad faces: "How could you let him do such a thing?"
