Nodding assuredly, Shao Qingyuan said, “There are three. There might be one more that’s not in the wild boar den. Let’s get these two down the mountain first to avoid the strong smell of blood attracting other beasts.” She really is sharp.

“Yeah, let’s hurry.” Without dwelling on further questions, Gu Yundong immediately followed him back to the entrance of the wild boar den.

Shao Qingyuan dragged out a wooden raft from the bushes. The first wild boar weighed around four hundred catties. Gu Yundong had decent strength now, but she was sure she couldn’t bear half the weight of the wild boar.

Fortunately, with Shao Qingyuan by her side, she could easily handle the wild boar by just putting it into her space.

Shao Qingyuan had great strength. With Gu Yundong’s assistance, he managed to get the wild boar onto the raft and began dragging it down the mountain.

The other wild boar was a bit further away, making it inconvenient to place on the raft. So, they had to pull it down to the foot of the mountain first.

Shao Qingyuan was familiar with this area, so the journey back was much quicker than the ascent.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, finding a secluded spot where few people passed, he instructed Gu Yundong to stay here and went to fetch the other wild boar himself.

After another round trip, Shao Qingyuan returned with the other wild boar, his body drenched in sweat.

He casually wiped himself and then said to Gu Yundong, “These wild boars are quite large. If we sell them in the town, we can only get a good price for one. But if we take them to the county, we might get a better price. Would you like to go?”

Gu Yundong looked at the two wild boars. Going to the town was manageable, but going to the county would take too much time. She still couldn’t leave her three “children” at home. With the round trip and selling the wild boars, they might not return until late at night.

Moreover, these two wild boars were both hunted by Shao Qingyuan. She felt a bit guilty about taking the money for them.

But on second thought, she did help drag the raft and inspect the wild boars. There’s no reason she shouldn’t accept the reward for her efforts. 

After a moment of contemplation, she handed over the wild chicken in her backpack to Shao Qingyuan. “I won’t go to the county. Instead, I’ll sell this wild chicken.”

“Alright,” Shao Qingyuan replied, taking the chicken before letting Gu Yundong return home first.

Gu Yundong was still somewhat worried. How would Shao Qingyuan transport the two wild boars to the county? Her space was of no use, which left her feeling exhausted.

Sighing, Gu Yundong returned home only to find that Fang Shi and her daughter were not there.

Gu Yunshu explained, “Fang Shi’s nephew from her maternal family is getting married, so they went to attend the wedding banquet. Fang Shi said she would stay at her maternal home for two days before coming back, asking us to feed the chickens and pigs.”

Fang Shi raised three chickens and a pig, often catching bugs to feed the chickens and going to cut grass for the pig.

Well, talk about making decisions without consulting others. Gu Yundong sneered, “Gu Yunshu, go to the village chief’s house and tell Mrs. Zhou.”

“Hehe, I already told her,” Gu Yunshu said proudly.

If Fang Shi had asked nicely, he wouldn’t have minded helping. When he was at the Gu family’s house before, he often went out to cut grass for the pigs. He could handle these tasks.

But Fang Shi’s attitude made people dislike her. It seemed like she wasn’t asking for help but giving orders.

Under Gu Yundong’s influence during this period, Gu Yunshu would never yield to such people.

Gu Yundong patted his head in satisfaction. Then, she saw that Fang Shi and Chen Yulan had locked their door and even sealed the kitchen utensils with tape. They even moved the eggs out of the jar. She couldn’t help but sneer.

Treating them like thieves, yet expecting them to help? What a joke.

With the mother and daughter absent, Gu Yundong made a sumptuous dinner. After all, she had meat in her space.

Just as it was getting dark, Shao Qingyuan arrived.
