70: Raising a wife, the whole village is inhaling the aroma of stewed meat.

He went home and took a kettle and a mortar, along with a knife.

This machete has a strong sense of age; it would even give you a chance to fight a wild boar!

The machete is really sharp.

It was bought by Zhou Qingwen's family to cut firewood.

In those days, everyone burned firewood, and which family didn't have a cleaver passed down from the Ma family?

For the past ten days, Zhou Qingwen has been tinkering at home, trying to see if he has a personal space or a system.

However, apart from the increasingly strong aura of laziness emanating from me every day, I've also been sleeping in and waking up naturally. In these ten days, my body has been in excellent condition, and I have tremendous strength!

He just eats and sleeps all day, he's practically a pig.

"Zhou Laosan, are you going up the mountain to chop firewood?"

On the way, I met a man carrying firewood back home.

"Hey, Uncle Tian, ​​I'm going hunting!"

Uncle Tian paused for a moment, then said, "Hey, be careful. There are a lot of insects on the mountain at this time of year, so be careful."

"Thanks for the reminder, Uncle Tian!"

Tian Yuping chuckled and said, "It's alright, it's good that you know you're out working! There are plenty of good girls out there! My Erniu is quite nice!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingwen smiled but didn't reply.

Tian Xiaona is his second daughter; she's average-looking and not his type.

Zhou Qingwen is currently thinking about Yu Yalan, the capitalist's daughter.

Her name perfectly reflects her refined elegance; she possesses a gentle and intelligent heart, and her temperament is as graceful as an orchid. Is her beauty not genuine? We'll have to dig deeper... um... I've discovered...

When I think of Yu Yalan, I think of the slight tremor she felt when she got off the oxcart.

This girl, born in 1970, was wearing a thin vest underneath. Her breasts, like those of a city girl like Yu Yalan, were noticeably wavy, which made Zhou Qingwen's heart race.

I'm so excited!

Zhou Qingwen's mind wandered for a while before he went up the back mountain.

Based on his hunting experience from his previous life, he followed the animal droppings and went deeper into the mountains. He came to a small forest and heard several clucking sounds.

Zhou Qingwen understood that hunting pheasants required using stones, and it had to be done quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly!

Zhou Qingwen picked up a few stones and crept up to them, where he saw several pheasants scratching at the ground, eating insects.

The stones flew out with a "whoosh"—three stones.

Immediately, all three pheasants cackled!

She screamed and collapsed to the ground, convulsing.

When Zhou Qingwen saw this, all the other chickens scattered in fright.

Fortunately, the skills weren't lost!

Zhou Qingwen looked at them and saw that the three pheasants were quite plump. It was May, and the pheasants were well-fed and growing strong. Each one weighed about three or four pounds.

The three of them together weigh about twelve pounds.

Zhou Qingwen looked around and realized that since the commotion had likely caused no further gains, he simply took the pheasants back to the village.

One strike yielded three pheasants, and the entire trip from the mountain top to the bottom took less than a day.

Let me tell you, earning pheasants is definitely easier than earning work points.

Earning work points was not Zhou Qingwen's forte.

The work that earned work points was incredibly hard. A man only got 10 work points a day, and he had to work all day long and be quick, otherwise he wouldn't be able to finish.

After Zhou Qingwen came down the mountain, he saw Yu Yalan helping to weed in the field. Her small, tender white hands were digging through the weeds, and seeing her made him feel a little sorry for her.

I heard her cough a few times: "Cough cough!"

"Xiaoya, you can take this chicken home and eat it!"

Luo Xiuqin, the village beauty who was also earning work points on another plot of land, looked up after hearing the sound and saw a big, fat chicken in Zhou Qingwen's hand, about to be handed to Yu Yalan.

"Zhou Qingwen! Where did you steal this chicken from?"

Luo Xiuqin immediately raised her voice and shouted.

"What chicken theft? I didn't! This is a wild pheasant I hunted from the mountain! Are you blind? Didn't you see that even wild pheasant feathers are different!"

Immediately, many villagers exclaimed, "Yes, yes, it's a pheasant!"

"Yes, it has floral feathers!"

"Luo Xiuqin, your eyesight is terrible!"

Luo Xiuqin awkwardly said, "I'm sorry, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

Luo Xiuqin had no interest in weeding at this point; she strained her ears to listen in this direction.

Yu Yalan said in a low voice, "We don't know each other, I can't take your slut!"

Yu Yalan's eyes revealed a purity, as clean as a girl who was still a blank sheet of paper!

The way Zhou Qingwen looked at her seemed to draw her in, making him want to help her.

"It's alright, take this pheasant home. It'll be enough for your family to have a good meal!"

Luo Xiuqin was furious. She dropped the grass she was holding, ran over almost like a whirlwind, snatched the pheasant, and said, "She doesn't want it, I want it!"

Zhou Qingwen glared at Luo Xiuqin, his eyes slightly angry, and said, "Give her the pheasant!"

"What? We just had a fight over something and we're breaking off the engagement? You never agreed to break off the engagement before?"

You used to give me all the good food you had, and you have to do the same now!

Did you find out beforehand that Yu Yalan was going to be sent to your village for relocation? Did you deliberately break off your engagement with me?

Zhou Qingwen is unbelievable! Turning the tables on me? "You were the one who wanted to break off the engagement; I just agreed. What do you mean by this unreasonable behavior?"

"Zhou Qingwen, we've broken off the engagement, so you, you slut, have to compensate me!"

"For this pheasant? You've thrown away all your dignity?"

"No, no, it's not entirely because of that!"

Luo Xiuqin's frantic swallowing of saliva betrayed her.

He swallowed hard and said, "If you had told me you could hunt earlier, I would have given you some time to change."

Luo Xiuqin said in a slightly ingratiating tone.

Yu Yalan swallowed and said, "You're really strange. You broke off the engagement this morning and humiliated Zhou Qingwen in front of so many people in the village. Now you're saying you're picking it up again?"

Do you really think Zhou Qingwen is unwanted?

Yu Yalan's toughness made Zhou Qingwen forget the lines he wanted to say.

This capitalist's daughter is something else!

He actually stood up for me?

"Bring the pheasant over here!"

Zhou Qingwen reached out and snatched the pheasant from Luo Xiuqin's hand. The pheasant's head was stretched long and drooped down. After shaking it a few times, several feathers of the pheasant were knocked out. The argument was heard by some villagers nearby.

Luo Xiuqin looked like she was about to cry. She was still unwilling to accept it, wiping away imaginary tears from her eyes and saying, "Are you two going to be dating? I don't agree!"

Zhou Qingwen said with obvious displeasure, "It's none of your business!"

Yu Yalan took a deep breath, her ample bosom rising and falling slightly, and said, "Of course I wouldn't date Zhou Qingwen just because of some slut, but I won't allow you to bully him!"

Zhou Qingwen was about to laugh, but then he listened...

Goodness, this capitalist's daughter really has some presence!

If I marry her in the future, I will definitely not let anyone bully her!

Having such a beautiful wife at home, just thinking about it is...

Zhou Qingwen shoved the chicken into Yu Yalan's hand and said, "Take it!"

Yu Yalan smiled slightly: "Yes, thank you."

Luo Xiuqin was so angry that her face turned a deep liver color.

She had been with Zhou Qingwen for three years, and she could easily obtain not only a wild pheasant but also grain from Zhou Qingwen's house.

Such a big pheasant? And it wasn't meant for her?

Wolf Sister's flying kiss! Wishing everyone all your wishes come true and everything goes well! Happy New Year 2026!
