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

He made her sore all over, but she felt incredibly comfortable! I'm speechless!

His energy level is incredible!

Like a tiger calf!

The next day

Yu Yalan and her second sister-in-law stayed at home, while Zhou Qingwen went hunting in the mountains early in the morning.

This time, Zhou Qingwen summoned the wolf king and asked it to lead him to find wild boars.

Sure enough, the wolf king was very effective. Upon seeing the wild boar, Zhou Qingwen immediately threw darts: "Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The two wild boars immediately collapsed to the ground, convulsing and bleeding profusely.

Zhou Qingwen left the smaller one behind and carried the large wild boar away.

The wild boar he's carrying probably weighs around 300 jin (150 catties).

It's really big and fat.

When Zhou Qingwen returned to the village, several of his relatives came forward, took his wild boar, and carried it home.

Zhou Qingwen did not refuse.

He then asked his relatives to help carry it.

Back home, Zhou Qingwen picked up the glass of water that Yu Yalan had brought him and gulped it down.

"Sigh, this wild boar is really heavy!"

Several relatives of the Zhou family have begun processing the wild boar.

At this point, Zhou Wangcai said, "Brother Qingwen, should we send some of the wild boar meat to the village?"

"Yes, prepare to give the village 150 jin of meat, about half a pig's carcass plus a pig's head, that will be enough. The brigade leader will preside over the distribution of the meat."

However, this time it was meat I gave as work points on behalf of my second sister-in-law, because she's pregnant and probably won't be able to work in the fields until she gives birth.

Zhou Wangcai said with a look of envy, "Hey, I really envy my pregnant sister-in-law, she doesn't have to get out of bed!"

Several male relatives from the Zhou family chuckled, "Wangcai, why don't you turn into a girl! You'd have the same treatment then!"

Zhou Wangcai blushed and said, "Look at how you're laughing. I was just a little envious, what's wrong with that?"

Zhou Qingwen patted Zhou Wangcai lightly and said, "If you had found a wife earlier, you could have enjoyed the good treatment you couldn't have. Someone in the family will always be the one to benefit!"

Zhou Wangcai said with a troubled expression, "Brother Qingwen, I... I don't have a wife yet!"

Zhou Qingwen looked at him, and Zhou Wangcai was about to say that he was fairly good-looking.

Eyes are eyes, and noses are noses.

Although he doesn't have the looks of a male lead like Zhou Qingwen.

But he's definitely a handsome guy, with slightly tanned skin, and the skin exposed by his short-sleeved shirt gives him a very strong look.

What if that's the case?

Zhou Qingwen had a bold idea in his mind, but there were too many people here, so it wasn't the place to talk.

Zhou Qingwen said, "Wangcai, can you stay and help me with some chores tonight? I'll treat you to dinner, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wangcai immediately swallowed hard: "Brother Qingwen, you're sure to have meat in your dinner tonight. I can't eat here. I'll go back and eat first, then I'll come back."

"Listen to me, I have something to discuss with you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wangcai clearly realized he could no longer refuse.

The current Zhou Qingwen is no longer the silly boy who used to cling to Luo Xiuqin.

Instead, does it feel like the head of the household is about to take charge on his own?

If Zhou Feitian hadn't been exercising his parental authority, Zhou Wangcai would have felt that Qingwen had the demeanor of a family leader!

"Alright, all set!"

Several relatives were envious that Zhou Wangcai had actually managed to keep Zhou Qingwen on the family business.

What good thing could possibly make him do?

The group chuckled but remained silent.

Afterwards, Zhou Qinghe delivered half of the pork, a pig's head, and half of the pig's lungs to the brigade leader's house.

The team leader immediately had several people from Zhou Qingwen's family help with cutting the meat, and they finished cutting it all before dark.

Zhou Hangen made another note that the 150 jin of pork was recorded under the work points meat that He Xiangxiang handed in during her pregnancy.

This is equivalent to He Xiangxiang's work points for a year!

Zhou Hangen smiled slightly. It seemed that Zhou Qingwen's family was getting better and better.

Previously, Zhou Qingwen's family lived a relatively poor life in this area because Zhou Qingwen was attached to Luo Xiuqin.

I heard that all the good food was given to Luo Xiuqin.

Zhou Qingwen ate relatively well, while his family members ate very poorly.

At the time, Zhou Hangen tried to persuade him several times, but it had almost no effect.

This week, Qingwen broke off his engagement because of Luo Xiuqin.

As a result, by a twist of fate, he and Yu Yalan, the capitalist's daughter who had been sent down to the countryside, became the most loving couple.

I heard that when Zhou Qingwen wasn't hunting, he would help Yu Yalan with washing clothes, cooking, sweeping, and tidying up the front and back yards.

He would rush to help Yu Yalan with all the chores.

At such a young age, you're finally living a decent life!

Indeed, what kind of woman brings the most prosperity to her family?

That's a woman who's completely devoted to her man!

News of Luo Xiuqin's story also spread.

That time, Luo Xiuqin covered herself with a bed sheet and said she was sleepwalking?

However, the old women in the village all guessed what had happened to her.

Because Zhang Baocai was like a night owl, several times people secretly watched him returning from Luo Xiuqin's place in the middle of the night.

What happened in their village couldn't be hidden from the eyes of those old women.

The two of them must have already made it a done deal!

Zhou Hangen couldn't say these things to Zhou Qingwen.

Zhou Hangen's wife heard all of this from others.

After Zhou Hangen finished distributing the meat that evening, he was so tired that he sat in the courtyard smoking welding fumes.

Just then, Zhou Qingwen came over carrying two jin of wild boar meat and stood at the entrance of the courtyard: "Uncle Zhou, are you tired?"

"Hey! Qingwen, what brings you here?"

Zhou Hangen immediately stood up with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Zhou, here's two jin of wild boar meat for you. I also wanted to ask if I could borrow your bicycle tomorrow."

"Don't worry, you can come and ride it first thing tomorrow morning. You can ride it whenever you want, no need to bring me meat!"

"No, it's just that there's too much meat at home. I'll give you some; you can keep it."

Zhou Hangen's wife immediately came out of the kitchen: "Oh dear, Qingwen, you've come all this way, but why did you bring meat?"

"Auntie, please take the meat inside. We'll cook some dishes for dinner tonight. I'm leaving now, Uncle Zhou. Auntie, I'm going now."

"Hey, why don't you sit down?"

"I won't sit here anymore. Zhou Wangcai is still at my house. I need to go back and talk to him."

"Alright, then I won't keep you any longer!"

"Why."

Zhou Qingwen returned home to find everyone there. He said, "Wangcai, come with me to chop firewood!"

Zhou Wangcai smiled slightly: "That's alright, I can chop firewood myself. Qingwen can stay home and keep Third Sister-in-law company."

Zhou Qingwen reached out and patted Zhou Wangcai on the shoulder, saying, "Come on, I have something to tell you!"

The two went out as dusk was falling, and Zhou Qingwen exchanged a few words with Zhou Wangcai along the way.

Zhou Wangcai looked thoughtful.

"Brother Qingwen, if I could accept Yu Ya Hui as my wife, would I be able to marry her? I don't have a single penny to my name."

It turned out that Zhou Qingwen had told Zhou Wangcai that Yu Yalan's second sister had reached marriageable age, and no one dared to go to the cowshed to propose marriage.

I'm really worried about it!

She'll never get married!

The whole family is suffering!

No one would dare marry you if you didn't ask for a bride price!

Zhou Wangcai then thought of himself; didn't he not have a wife?

Isn't it that he can't get married?

Doesn't he have no money?

It would be better to just marry the girl from the cowshed.

"Brother Qingwen, if I really marry Yu Ya Hui, could you lend me twenty yuan to marry her? I'll pay you back slowly with the work points I earn later, okay?"

"Hey kid, you're not just doing this on a whim, are you? Yu Ya Hui is a capitalist's daughter!"
