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

Zhou Qingwen, together with the wolf pack, hunted two wild boars.

Zhou Qingwen gave the larger wild boar to the wolf pack to eat.

Because the wolf pack had just helped him deal with those five people.

Those five people must have been terrified!

And Zhou Qingwen doesn't even need to show his face.

They beat those five people to a pulp!

The smaller wild boar was carried away by Zhou Qingwen.

The wolf pack escorted them all the way to the back mountain of Zhouzhuang.

The wolf king let out a whimper as Zhou Qingwen left.

Zhou Qingwen waved his hand: "Go back, all of you!"

The wolf king howled again, and then, quite intelligently, led the pack away.

The three people who were on the ground were nowhere to be seen.

It seems that the three of them are still alive, because there are clearly some bloody footprints on the way down the mountain!

Zhou Qingwen slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

He didn't let those five people discover that he could control beasts, which was quite a peculiar ability.

Zhou Qingwen simply stared at the wolf king with his eyes. After saving the wolf king, the wolf king recognized him as its master.

This is a beautiful misunderstanding.

At first, Zhou Qingwen only felt sorry for the wolf king's white fur.

Unexpectedly, they received a group of wolf soldiers?

From then on, going hunting in the mountains felt just like going home!

You can easily find wild boars.

Just like today, the wolves seem to have radar, instantly locating the wild boars' den wherever they are, making the hunt fast and decisive!

Zhou Qingwen carried the wild boar back to the village.

They hadn't finished the wild boar from the previous hunt, but this time they caught another one. This time, Zhou Qingwen didn't butcher the wild boar; instead, he packed the whole thing up and sold it to the town's cooperative.

The total weight was 215 jin (approximately 142.5 kg), and it was sold at 0.35 yuan per jin, so the total amount received was 75.25 yuan.

Zhou Qingwen was overjoyed to receive the money.

This time, there are enough wild boars to make up three months' wages for an average worker!

After all, hunting is quite tiring and it wears out clothes a lot.

Zhou Qingwen was reluctant to wear his new clothes while hunting.

I was wearing old clothes, but they were so worn out that they were practically unwearable.

I could only go back home and cut up my old clothes to use as rags.

In those days, even old clothes were not thrown away; they were cut into small pieces and used to wipe tables and chairs, or as rags.

Zhou Qingwen returned home and handed 75.25 yuan to Liu Yue'e. "Mom, this is the money from selling the wild boar. You can keep it and use it for household expenses. You don't need to save it for me."

Liu Yue'e said excitedly, "Third brother, you earn so much, why don't you save some?"

"Mom, there are so many people to feed in the family. It's not right to always rely on your and Dad's savings. It's okay if I earn more and take on more responsibility, and Xiaoya won't have any objections."

Xiaoya, who was rolling out noodles in the kitchen, said, "Mom, you should listen to Qingwen, and I'll listen to him too."

Liu Yue'e, clutching the money in her hand, said, "Well, I'll pack it up then."

Liu Yue'e also understood that this amount of money would be equivalent to three months' salary for an ordinary family.

Her third son earned 75.25 yuan from a single hunting trip.

Liu Yue'e went into her own main room.

Zhou Qingwen stepped forward and gently hugged Yu Yalan, saying, "Xiaoya, you smell so good."

"Okay, stop fooling around, Mom will see us soon."

"Here's ten yuan, just for your pocket money. Put it in your pocket."

Yu Yalan, her almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed with shyness, said, "This...didn't you just pay the money? How do you still have money to give me pocket money?"

"Of course, you're my wife. Every penny I earn is yours. Here, take this! I'm going to bed for a nap. Remember to wake me up for lunch."

"Okay, I got it."

Yu Yalan gently touched the change with her right hand before continuing to roll out the noodles.

She can live on that ten yuan for a long time.

If she asks Zhou Qingwen at noon, and he agrees, she plans to take out six yuan of the ten yuan and send it to her mother's family.

After all, she was well-fed and clothed at home, while her family lived in a cowshed. If they didn't have any money, they probably wouldn't have a good life.

Zhou Qingwen tensed up slightly. He had just hugged his wife and almost did *that*, but he fell asleep in bed.

That's one good thing about these adobe houses; they're warm in winter and cool in summer.

In this day and age, this is still the best accommodation available.

Electricity hasn't been brought to the villages yet; only some areas in the county town have it.

In the town, only the police station and some government offices have electricity.

Moreover, the light bulbs are all low wattage, and the light is slightly dim and yellowish.

Zhou Qingwen also wanted to install electrical wires.

However, if the village fails to secure the necessary funding, the cost of just installing utility poles could be substantial.

So, there aren't any home appliances yet.

However, Zhou Qingwen was lying in bed, sleeping soundly. At lunchtime, Yu Yalan came in to wake him up for lunch.

"Wen, get up. The food is ready, and everyone else in the family is back."

"Hmm~"

Zhou Qingwen slightly opened his eyes, "Wife, let me hug you!"

Yu Yalan accidentally got hugged and kissed a few times by Zhou Qingwen.

"Oh dear, don't kiss me like that, it'll be so embarrassing if someone sees us," Yu Yalan said nervously.

"It's alright, I'm kissing my own wife, who dares to say anything?"

Zhou Qingwen paused for a moment and then said, "Okay, I'll get up."

"Hey, I'll go outside and help serve the food."

"No, honey, can you help me find that gray short-sleeved shirt?"

"Oh, I know, I've packed it up. It's at the very back of the closet. I'll go get it for you."

"Okay, I'm feeling a little hot. I want to wear short sleeves at home."

"It's a little chilly to wear short sleeves now, but you can wear them if you're sensitive to heat."

Yu Yalan opened the wardrobe door, took out the gray short-sleeved shirt from the very back, and found that 20 yuan had fallen out of the shirt.

"Huh? Why is there money here?"

"Hehe! Honey, that money is for your family back home, how about it? Happy?"

Yu Yalan took the money with surprise and said, "So much? Isn't this too much?"

"Don't worry, we Zhou family members live together and have spent a lot of my money. I think it's only right to help your family with this little bit of money. We'll quietly send it over after lunch, and also cut three catties of cured wild boar meat from home."

Yu Yalan smiled, her face flushed, and said, "This is too much! You're so generous!"

"What? Are you worried you're giving too much? Otherwise, should we just not take it?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Of course I'll go. What married daughter doesn't think about her parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law?"

"Hey, my wife is so cute!"

"Get ready quickly, we're going out to eat. I'll put this money under my pillow first."

"Okay."

Yu Yalan took the pillow and stuffed the money inside.

She originally planned to use the ten yuan that Zhou Qingwen gave her to go back to her parents' home.

As it turned out, Zhou Qingwen seemed to know what was on her mind, so he deliberately put twenty yuan in her gray short-sleeved shirt and made her look for it.

I said the 20 yuan was to send back to her parents' home.

Yu Yalan felt a warm glow in her heart!

A woman's life is inextricably linked to the man she marries.

Zhou Qingwen always filled Yu Yalan with excitement, gratitude, and surprise!
