My Children Are Fierce and Adorable Novel! - Chapter 180
Chapter 180: There’s Meat?
“Guan Chibei isn’t just capable of doing this. Didn’t you hear, everyone in the village knows that the Guan family built a wall. They used a lot of mud bricks and said that they were from all the money Guan Chibei earned from hunting! If you follow Guan Chibei, would you still be worried about the future? You’ll be leading a happy life.”
Liu Ya’s eyes flickered. She was secretly overjoyed by Mother Liu’s words, but she did not want others to know that she was fabricating the truth. She said softly,
“Mother, don’t talk nonsense. We’re outside our house…”
Her words indirectly admitted that what Mother Liu said was true.
Upon hearing their words, the Xiong brothers raised their eyes and turned their heads, thinking about what Liu Ya and her mother had just said with interest.
What? The Guan family?!
Was this the same Guan family who was almost the poorest in the village previously?
In their impression, this Guan family only earned enough money to feed their entire family, so they never had any money left. They weren’t outstanding at all in Yunwu Village.
Hearing these words, how had the Guan family changed?!
They had not returned to the village during the year. The Xiong brothers wanted to know about such changes the most.
Especially the changes that poor families had made.
That Guan Chibei…
He knew how to hunt? He even had the ability to hunt so much prey back?!
Even if one was rich, meat, especially fresh meat, was precious. It was something that could only be chanced upon by luck. Even if one had money, they might not be able to eat it.
Because although Yuan City was developed in shipping, it was impossible to slaughter meat and bring it back fresh.
All the hunters who could enter the mountains to hunt for prey would send the prey to the largest restaurant in the city as soon as they had any harvest. All the big and small restaurants would want meat. The price of meat, especially prey, was really high.
If that Guan Chibei from the Guan family really knew how to hunt, that would be an incredible skill.
Even the Xiong brothers, who were rich and powerful (relying on their physiques), could not come up with something as capable as Guan Chibei.
The Xiong brothers exchanged looks. They had come out to the village to walk around today. This was considered the matter that interested them the most.
The Xiong brothers immediately walked into the village to see if the Guan family had really made a comeback.
Also, from the conversation between that mother-daughter pair just now, that Guan Chibei from the Guan family who knew how to hunt already had a wife and children, but still had an affair with a woman privately?
He was really enjoying life.
No wonder he dared to do this. He knew how to hunt.
The Xiong brothers immediately walked towards the Guan family. Their footsteps were big and they walked quickly. Soon, they arrived at the Guan family’s door.
Upon seeing that this was the only family in the village who had built a wall, they felt that it was imposing. Indeed, they were outstanding and different!
Oh, look at the wall. It seemed like the Guan family had really made a comeback. Were they rich?
Was it all because of that sixth son who knew how to hunt?
The Xiong brothers looked at the Guan family’s wall. They had lived in the city for a long time and were naturally knowledgeable. Just by looking at the size of the wall and estimating the muds bricks, they could roughly guess how much the Guan family had spent.
They then thought about what Mother Liu had said just now. Did Guan Chibei bring a lot of prey along with him recently? Were they all piled up?
After thinking for a while, they realized that this was really incredible. If the Guan family were to exchange everything for money, they would have quite a lot of money.
It was not that the Xiong brothers weren’t rich or couldn’t stand the sight of rich people. However, now that some families in the village had risen up and were in the limelight even more than their family, they weren’t too happy about this.
The Xiong brothers looked at each other again and walked around the village to listen to the discussions of others.
The villagers were still talking about the number of prey Guan Chibei had hunted that day. They even said that two pairs of goats had been brought down from the mountain.
Wild ducks, pheasants, wild hares.
Recently, he had been going into the river frequently to fish. He would fish a lot every time.
His woman had given birth to three sons at once. His wife and sons all needed to eat and drink, and he could satisfy all of them.
Moreover, the Guan family’s days were getting better. The strong fragrance of food often drifted out from the courtyard, and most of it had the smell of meat.
They made meat every day and there were different types of prey. There was chicken, duck, pork, rabbit, fish…
The villagers were all gossiping. There was no need to ask around. The Guan family was in the biggest limelight in the village this year.
Upon hearing those words, the Xiong brothers looked even more interested. The two of them walked around and returned to the vicinity of the Xiong family.
Was he so good at hunting?
Did the Guan family eat so much prey?
Be it selling or eating, these were all worth a lot.
Furthermore, Guan Chibei didn’t hunt only ordinary pheasants. There were also musk deers, roe deers, and goats. Although these prey weren’t considered rare or precious and couldn’t be compared to tigers or sika deers, if they were sold in a restaurant, there would definitely be some rich families who would order them and they could take the opportunity to befriend the rich and powerful!
People who worked in casinos knew best how to befriend people with power.
The Xiong brothers were not so calm anymore.
If they could obtain the Guan family’s prey, it would be of great use.
When the Xiong brothers returned home, they exchanged a few words with Father Xiong. When Father Xiong heard this, he was slightly surprised. He also knew about the Guan family, but he did not expect such a change to occur.
However, after Father Xiong learned of the Xiong brothers’ plans, he did not show any objection. His expression was very calm, and he let the Xiong brothers do whatever they wanted.
The Xiong brothers went out to the village and heard a villager guessing secretly. “Speaking of which, the Guan family has been a little mysterious recently. That Mother Rong doesn’t seem to have been around the village for a long time. It seems like she hasn’t argued with anyone in a long time as well.”
“That’s true.”
“I don’t know where the Guan family disappears to every day. There are very few people at home every day, and it’s very quiet…”
“I’m guessing that someone found a job in the city? Mother Rong went to the backyard of a rich family to work, right? The men from the Guan family also went out to work?”
“After all, Guan Chibei can hunt. The Guan family’s expenses are still huge. How do you think all the men in their house ate? They would eat up all their assets. Now, there are three new children as well…”
The villagers’ words were mixed with jealousy. Someone also took the opportunity to smear Ye Lulu’s name. “That’s right. That wife of Guan Chibei’s is also lazy and spineless.”
“She took advantage of the fact that she gave birth to three children and did confinement for more than two months. She’s even lying on the bed now and staying in the house!”
“She said she would take care of the three children. Oh, which woman is as delicate as her? Who in the village doesn’t get out of bed and work after resting for a few days?”
“That Ye Lulu is really thick-skinned. Even until now, she’s still being fed well by the Guan family. Oh, she’s completely shameless. It’s really bad luck to marry such a daughter-in-law. She’s so cheap. She gets people to treat her and do all kinds of work for her. That’s right. I saw that her body is fine. She’s just pretending now.”
This woman’s words were unpleasant to the ears. It was obvious that she was extremely jealous of Ye Lulu.
