Chapter 14: Don’t you think I don’t want to give money to Brother Niu San 

Niu Laosan processed the wild boar meat, and Shen Xuezhu thanked him and the young man.

They both said, “Don’t mention it.”

Shen Xuezhu asked them, “Do you want to take some of the wild boar meat home, or do you want the money for slaughtering the pig at the market?”

The young man wanted to see what Niu Laosan said, so he didn’t speak.

Niu Laosan immediately said, “I’m a hunter, I eat meat almost every day, I don’t want the wild boar meat.”

“I don’t need the money for slaughtering the pig either. We’re all neighbors, it’s just a matter of lending a hand. It’s not easy for you to take care of two daughters alone.” After saying that, Niu Laosan immediately left.

Here, Lu Xiaoyue ran over and said, “Mom, my sister just woke up, she’s crying and making a fuss, go and take a look.”

As soon as she heard that Lu Xiaoli was crying and making a fuss, Shen Xuezhu couldn’t bother to chase Niu Laosan, thinking of sending the money to his house later.

As soon as Shen Xuezhu entered the inner room, the young man said to Lu Xiaoyue, “Xiaoyue, I have something to do at home, I’ll go first.”

Lu Xiaoyue didn’t know about the affairs between the adults, so she nodded.

After that, the young man left. He didn’t want to wait for Shen Xuezhu to give him the wild boar meat, it was a little embarrassing.

Besides, Niu Laosan didn’t want the wild boar meat, and he didn’t want the money either, so he left.

Shen Xuezhu came to the inner room and asked Lu Xiaoli why she was crying.

She cried, “I just had a dream, I dreamed that Mom went into a cave and didn’t come out again.”

“I woke up and was so afraid that Mom would go to this cave and not come out.”

“Mom, will you please not go to that cave?”

Shen Xuezhu patted Lu Xiaoli’s back, “Silly child, dreams are all fake, Mom doesn’t even know where the cave you’re talking about is?”

“In the back mountain, someone went into the yin river in this cave and drowned.”

“Someone saw it and went into this cave, and he didn’t dare to go in again, and he came out and told everyone not to go in.”

Shen Xuezhu put clothes on Lu Xiaoli while saying, “I know in the back mountain, but I don’t know where this cave is in the back mountain.”

Lu Xiaoli cooperated with Shen Xuezhu to put on her clothes, no matter whether Shen Xuezhu knew where the cave was or not, “Mom, you promise me that you won’t go to this cave in the future.”

Shen Xuezhu promised for Lu Xiaoli’s peace of mind, “I swear to heaven, I won’t go to this cave in the future.”

“Okay, Xiaoli, don’t think about this anymore.”

Lu Xiaoli wiped away her tears and walked out of the room.

Shen Xuezhu laid the quilt on the bed before she went out.

As soon as she came out, she saw that the young man wasn’t there, and she asked, “Where is the person?”

Lu Xiaoyue knew who Shen Xuezhu was talking about, “Brother Shuangzhu, he has something to do at home, he left.”

“Oh, is that so.” Shen Xuezhu reacted, “That’s not right? I didn’t give him the wild boar meat or the money, I’ll go to his house later.”

At this time, several villagers walked in.

Shen Xuezhu saw that Aunt He was also there.

Aunt He had been at Niu Laosan’s house before, and she heard Niu Laosan’s wife say that Shen Xuezhu had encountered a wild boar that had been hit and killed in the back mountain.

Coincidentally, she wanted to come to the Lu family’s old house to see if she could get something, and Niu Laosan came back.

She heard Niu Laosan’s wife ask Niu Laosan.

“Laosan, you slaughtered the pig for Xiaoshan’s wife, how much did she give you?”

“I don’t want her money.”

“What? You don’t want her money, and she really didn’t give it? You wasted half a day for her, helping her carry the wild boar down the mountain, and then slaughtering the pig.”

“You put in so much effort, and she really didn’t give you any money?”
