The whole family stocked up on supplies two years in advance, so they could live a life of luxury wh

Upon hearing the bad news, Li Fusheng stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.

His pale face could no longer withstand the strain, and his lips trembled as he spoke:

"What? Fifth Brother, what did you say? My Xing'er is in trouble! She... what happened to her?"

"What's wrong with her?"

As he spoke, tears began to fall from Li Fusheng's eyes.

He shouldn't have let Xing'er walk by herself.

Thinking about this, he wished he could slap himself twice.

Zhang fainted again upon hearing this.

Li Taohua screamed in fright:

"Mother, Mother, what's wrong? What's wrong? Mother, wake up!"

"Father, Father, come quickly and see what's wrong with Mother?"

"Mother, wake up, wake up!"

Li Fusheng quickly ran to his wife's side, hugged her tightly, and then pinched her philtrum, anxiously saying:

"Yu Niang, wake up, wake up, Yu Niang!"

Old Mrs. Li, who was standing nearby, tapped the fifth son's calf with her cane and asked urgently:

"Now you've told me, what happened to Xing'er? What's wrong with her? What happened to her?"

Hearing this, Li Dashan, who was whittling a wooden stick, rushed to his fifth uncle's side and shook his shoulder vigorously. "What happened to my third sister? Is she dead?"

Li Taohua suddenly laughed when she heard her elder brother's words.

"Good, good riddance! Good riddance to her! This wicked woman is finally dead!"

"She's dead, Father, she's dead!"

"Hahaha!"

Although she was smiling, tears kept streaming down her face.

My heart suddenly aches.

Li Laowu was almost stunned by the family's reaction. After a long while, he finally came to his senses and said:

"Xing'er isn't dead! I... I just saw her carrying a huge wild boar back on her shoulder. Wow... such a big wild boar! I, Li Laowu, have never seen such a big wild boar before."

"Why are you saying she's dead?"

"I didn't say that."

Li Fusheng and his family were stunned when they heard this.

His eyes blinked repeatedly.

I rubbed my eyes again and again.

Li Fusheng's tears stopped immediately.

Everyone stared at Li Laowu in disbelief.

Xinger.....

she.....

Didn't she die in an accident?

The Li family is still in shock.

Li Yushan suddenly shouted:

"It's Third Sister! Third Sister is back! She really did come back carrying a wild boar!"

The Li family members turned around when they heard this.

The frail Xing'er carried a basket on her back and a large wild boar on her shoulder; the boar's head was as wide as a winnowing basket.

Granny Li was the first to react; she stamped her foot and said:

"Dashan, Xiaoshan, hurry up and help Xing'er get the wild boar down. Don't let Xing'er get crushed by this heavy boar."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Li Dashan and Li Xiaoshan ran towards Li Xing'er together.

But as Li Dashan approached Xing'er, he suddenly stopped and stared intently at his third sister, asking:

"Third Sister, is the wild boar you found for our family, or are you going to send it to Scholar Nan?"

When Li Dashan saw her carrying the wild boar, his first thought was that she wanted him to kill it and deliver it to Nan Xiucai himself.

Otherwise, given her personality, she would probably turn the house upside down.

Xing'er wasn't surprised to hear this. She threw the wild boar off her shoulder and said:

"Brother, I've already told you. Our ancestors told me I can't be foolish anymore, or they'll punish me. This wild boar is naturally for our family. Tomorrow, we'll have Dad sell the meat to buy medicine for Mom."

Li Dashan still couldn't quite believe his eyes when he saw the wild boar on the ground.

"Are you... telling the truth?"

Xing'er nodded vigorously.

"Of course it's true. If you want to carry it, then carry it over there."

"After we finish cleaning up, we'll give some pork to Gou'er, Tiedan, and Hutou."

Li Dashan didn't say anything, but silently squatted down, trying to lift the wild boar up.

But he tried for a long time and still couldn't get it up.

Xing'er then took out a basket and placed it in front of Li Taohua, saying with a hint of apology:

"Second sister, it's all because of me that our family is gone. I said I would go hunting wild boar and I did it. You like to eat wild sweet potatoes, so I picked a basketful for you. You can wash them and eat them later."

Li Taohua saw her sincere appearance but did not believe that she had truly repented.

She kicked over the basket.

Large, wild sweet potatoes rolled all over the ground, then she stomped on them all and cursed:

"What mischief are you up to now? Why are you so kind as to pick fruit for me to eat? Are you trying to poison me and kill me? I won't eat it!"

Then she turned to her older brother and shouted:

"Brother, don't believe her. She's probably pregnant. I don't believe she's suddenly changed for the better. Maybe it's some scholar from the south giving her advice to temporarily repent for a couple of days."

Li Dashan hesitated upon hearing his second sister's words.

This is exactly the kind of thing Xing'er would do.

Xing'er felt a pang of sadness when she saw her second sister trample the wild sweet potatoes she had painstakingly picked to pieces. However, she didn't hold it against her second sister. Instead, she turned around, knelt down in front of her eldest brother, and picked up the wild boar.

This moment.

She looked up at the original owner's eldest brother and second sister, and silently said in her heart:

"Ancestors, it's your own fault for being so unworthy. You didn't know how to enjoy your good fortune. The future belongs to me, and I can help you as I see fit."

But with your attitude...

I'm sorry, I'm only responsible for basic duties; don't expect anything else.

next moment.

She carried the wild boar to her father and mother and called out softly:

"Mother, wake up! Xing'er has brought back a wild boar. We can sell it for money now. Father, this is a medicinal herb I picked called ephedra. Let's borrow a clay pot from Fourth Aunt today to brew the medicine. Tomorrow, Father, let's go sell the wild boar."

Li Fusheng was deeply moved by Xing'er's transformation, and he wiped away his tears, saying:

"Oh, I know you'll get better. I'll listen to you. It's just that my Xing'er is suffering."

Zhang woke up immediately upon hearing her daughter's voice.

She held her daughter's hand and said gently:

"Mother knows... cough cough cough, Mother knows that Xing'er has you in her heart, cough cough cough... Your second sister and the others don't believe you, but Mother believes you... cough cough cough."

Seeing her mother coughing incessantly, Xing'er immediately reached out and patted her back to help her catch her breath.

"Mother, you're not feeling well right now, so please don't talk too much. I'm fine, I'm really fine."

Li Yushan's mouth watered at the sight of the wild sweet potatoes. Even though some of them were trampled, he couldn't resist squatting down to pick them up and put them in his mouth.

sweet!

Wild melons are so sweet.

Li Taohua was furious when she saw this and loudly questioned him, "Aren't you afraid of being harassed to death?"

Li Yushan said with tears in his eyes:

"Second sister, I'm hungry!"

"I'm so hungry!"

Upon hearing this, Li Taohua immediately lost her temper. She was also hungry and felt extremely regretful looking at the trampled wild sweet potatoes on the ground.

Seeing this, Li Fusheng felt extremely sad. It was all his fault for being useless. Fortunately, Xing'er brought back a wild boar.

Things will definitely get better.

He addressed the children:

"Big Mountain, Little Mountain, Dog, Tiger Head, come help me carry this wild boar."

Neither Li Dashan nor Li Xiaoshan made a move.

On the contrary, Tiger Head, Dog, and Iron Egg shouted and helped carry the wild boar together.

Li Fusheng sighed and remained silent.

Then seven or eight more children came to the village.

There is grass, there is iron pillar, and there are also Xiao Ni and the two sisters Zhao Di and Pan Di.

They all came to help Li Fusheng start the fire.

The other adults in the village also knew that Fusheng's house had collapsed and all his belongings were gone. One family contributed a bowl, another contributed a bowl, one family contributed a pot, and another contributed an earthenware jar.

Even Zhu Dadan's family sent over a pile of firewood.

Xing'er herself wasn't idle either.

She took out the last wild sweet potato from her bosom and silently placed it in front of her mother and grandmother.

He turned around and joined the village children in starting a fire and helping to slaughter the pig.
