Chapter 344: Chapter 344 Not Even a Single Pig Hair to Be Found Chapter 344: Chapter 344 Not Even a Single Pig Hair to Be Found “They might all be from the same litter. When they encountered us, they just happened to be together. Being able to kill so many wild boars is all thanks to Big Bull’s prowess,” Xuexue replied with a smile.
Today, we were able to hunt so many wild boars because Big Bull’s martial arts are so formidable. Otherwise, relying solely on my current strength, it would be so hard just to kill one, definitely not feasible.
“Big Bull is truly a lucky star for you all.” The people came to their senses from their astonishment and envied Xuexue for having such a strong fiancé. The sale of these wild boars in town would bring a substantial income. It seemed that Madam Xie’s family was truly on the rise in Mo Family Village.
“Xuexue, let Daddy help.” Mo Xiaoqiang said, shamelessly coming forward.
Just now, he had been idle at home when Mo Daoyan hurried back from outside. Upon entering, without a word, he grabbed Mo Xiaoqiang and left.
“Second Brother, Second Brother, what are you doing?” Mo Xiaoqiang shook him off forcefully, somewhat annoyed.
“Big Brother, don’t you know yet?” Mo Daoyan’s eyes were wide open.
“What happened?” Mo Xiaoqiang had a clueless expression. After all, he had spent the entire day holed up at home, not once stepping outside. How could he know about the major event that had occurred in the village?
“Your future son-in-law Big Bull hunted down a litter of wild boars on the mountain. They say there were as many as eight of them! The whole village is buzzing with the news. Right now, they are looking for people to carry them back from the foot of the mountain. As the future in-law, you should hurry up; if you’re late, you’ll miss out.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaoqiang was overjoyed. Eight wild boars would sell for quite a bit of silver. Just thinking about it made him happy. His resolve to reconcile with Madam Xie strengthened even more.
So, he followed after Big Bull, eagerly tagging along with Mo Daoyan.
“Hmm,” Xuexue responded indifferently.
Mo Daoyan also stepped forward, saying obsequiously to Xuexue, “Hehehe…! Xuexue, look. You’ve hunted so many wild boars that you can’t possibly finish them all, right? Shouldn’t you show some filial piety and give one to your grandparents?”
Mo Daoyan’s shameless words, like a clap of spring thunder, startled everyone present. They all stared with wide eyes, waiting to see how Xuexue would respond.
Xuexue glanced sideways at Mo Daoyan and said with a frosty tone, “Uncle, did you eat garlic this morning?”
“No, why do you ask?” Mo Daoyan was oblivious to how his words had upset Xuexue.
“Why? Your breath is so strong. The smallest wild boar weighs almost a hundred pounds. We risked our lives to bring them back, and with one light remark, you want to take a whole one for yourself. It’s not that easy.”
“Hehe…! Xuexue, listen to what you’re saying. I meant for your grandparents, not for myself.”
Seeing Xuexue displeased, Mo Daoyan hastily tried to appease her with a laugh, eyeing the several fat pigs on the ground. He was itching to take one but dared not offend her, lest he end up not even getting a single pig hair.
“Then let them come and ask me themselves.”
“Alright, alright!”
Fearing to irritate Xuexue further, Mo Daoyan kept quiet, swallowing his words.
There were six more wild boars. Big Bull carried two, and the remaining four were tied up and carried on shoulder poles by several villagers in a clumsy effort, with two people sharing the weight of one boar as they slowly walked toward the village.
Mo Xiaoqiang and Mo Daoyan were also carrying a wild boar, walking at the end of the line.
“Big Brother, why don’t we just take this wild boar straight home?” Mo Daoyan, with the heavy load on his shoulders, walking behind and eyeing the bobbing fat pig in front of him longingly, thus addressed Mo Xiaoqiang hauling the boar alongside him.
Mo Xiaoqiang, too, was greatly tempted by the plethora of wild boars but, for the sake of reconciling with Madam Xie, had to suppress his greed, speaking righteously, “Second Brother, what are you talking about? It’s clearly Xuexue’s property; how could we claim it for ourselves?”
