During famine years, I had a divination slip in hand, and my whole family ate chicken, duck, fish, a

"Dad, look what this is?"

After taking a sip of hot tea, Ye Qingqing took the two whimpering wolf cubs out of the basket on her back and tossed them onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

"What do you think of these two wolf cubs?"

Ye Youliang had sensed something was wrong with the commotion in the basket, but hadn't had a chance to ask before the girl dropped two wolf cubs over.

He tensed up, speechless with astonishment.

"Second Girl, why did you bring that wolf cub back?"

Ye Qingqing raised an eyebrow. "Of course we're raising them, how could they possibly eat such a tiny thing?"

"Keep them?"

Ye Youliang was dumbfounded.

"This is a wolf cub, not a puppy. You're going to raise it? Aren't you afraid it'll eat you?"

This girl is going crazy!

He's an old hunter who's hunted three or five wolves, and he's never heard of raising wolf cubs!

Ye Qingqing said with a disdainful look,

"If a mother wolf can raise it, why can't I? Dad, this thing is still small, just weaned. Whoever raises it will make it resemble them."

In her time, many zoos raised tigers and lions from the age of nursing, but they didn't become close to their keepers when they grew up.

She especially remembered a zoo where a female dog was given to the tiger cubs to nurse them because they had no milk.

As a result, when the tigers grew up, they became extremely close to their mother dog. Even when they fought, as long as the mother dog barked a few times, the tigers would all back down.

Why can't she be a wolf mom?

Ye Youliang's lips twitched. "Second girl, you can't be silly! Wolves and dogs are different. If you keep one at home and it attracts wolves from the mountains, that would be troublesome!"

"No, I want to raise it."

Ye Qingqing picked up the two wolf cubs and pressed them against her face. "Dad, just wait and see how I raise these two little guys into good guard dogs!"

The two wolf cubs rolled around in her arms, scratching and scrambling with their little paws, as if they didn't remember their mother at all.

"Awooo, awooo..."

Suddenly, a wolf cub raised its head, rubbed its long snout, and howled.

This made things quite lively, and the other one started barking and howling along with it, as if in a competition.

Although the babyish howl wasn't loud, the wolf's uniquely penetrating voice pierced through the courtyard wall and could be heard even by people inside the yard.

"My goodness!"

Li Chunyan's heart skipped a beat, and she looked around frantically. "Where...where did that wolf howl come from?"

This is terrible! Has Kaoshantun attracted wolves again?

Wait, why does the sound seem to be coming from inside the house?

Li Chunyan didn't even bother to call Ye Dazhuang, and ran into the house as fast as she could. As soon as she entered, she saw two furry little wolves lying on Ye Qingqing's legs, howling and howling.

"Second Girl!"

Her jaw nearly dropped to the ground. Pointing at the wolf cub, she stammered, "What...what are you doing taking this thing home? Throw it away! You'll attract the wolves from the mountains!"

Ye Qingqing grinned at her,

"Sister-in-law, from now on, those two are not wolves, but my dogs, Ye Qingqing's dogs."

What names should we give them...? One should be called Dalang, and the other Erlang.

Li Chunyan was completely exasperated. "Second girl, are you crazy...?"

"The guard dogs were domesticated from wolves, so don't worry, sister-in-law. Qingqing knows what she's doing."

Ye Dazhuang's voice came from behind him. He glanced at Ye Qingqing with a faint smile in his deep eyes.

"Clatter!"

Springtime suddenly fell silent.

It's not enough that Er Yatou is crazy on her own, why does even the usually calm and collected Da Zhuang brother have to go crazy?

Ye Qingqing smiled and returned Ye Dazhuang's look.

"Big Zhuang is right, let's give it a try!"

Ye Dazhuang said to Ye Youliang,

"Uncle, don't worry, let her give it a try. I'm here to take care of things at home."

Ye Youliang nodded, took two worried puffs on his pipe, and fell silent.

They've already discussed it, so there's no point in him saying anything more.

Let them do what they want. The important thing is to find someone to help Er Yatou find a husband!

The news that Ye Qingqing had raised two wolf cubs spread throughout Kaoshantun in less than an hour.

The villagers, who had witnessed the wolf attack, were instantly in an uproar.

Er Ya Tou is going crazy! Raising a wolf cub at home is like inviting wolves to Kao Shan Tun!

……

Before long, the courtyard was noisy and bustling, like a bustling market.

Ye Qingqing curled her lips into a cold smile. They've already caught wind of it so quickly?

She peeked out the window and, wow…

A large group of people had gathered outside the courtyard wall, peering in through the gate as if her house harbored some kind of monster.

"Second Girl! Second Girl, come out quickly!"

Old Ye, stretching his neck, shouted, "I heard you brought back a wolf cub? What are you planning to do!"

"Lazy Ye, what are you trying to do?"

Ye Qingqing walked out of the house, crossed her arms, and looked at him coldly. "Trying to cause trouble? Don't you know where you are? Are you asking for a beating?"

Ye Laolan is the kind of person who has no real skills and is easily fooled.

They always want to be the first to stand out and seek a sense of self-worth.

Which village doesn't have a few idiots like that?

Before she could finish speaking, the three Zhao brothers grabbed shovels and machetes, lined up in front of Ye Qingqing, and said menacingly,

"What do you want to do!"

"Get out!"

"What are you yelling about? You dare to yell at our master again?"

Ye Qingqing couldn't help but smile.

"No, I'm not shouting. Everyone's here, I'm speaking on behalf of everyone."

Old Ye shrank his neck, and his arrogance immediately subsided. "Second girl, you're raising wolf cubs at home. Aren't you just bringing trouble to our village?"

Everyone's afraid of attracting wolves; you can't bring trouble to our village!

"Oh my goodness!"

An auntie slapped her thigh, her face turning red with anxiety.

"There's an old saying, 'Raising cubs attracts their mother.' The mother wolf is dead, but if you bring the cubs back, the wolf pack will come looking for them, and our whole village will be in trouble!"

"Exactly!"

An old man nearby chimed in, saying with concern,

"Second girl, you're young and don't know any better. This wolf is no joke."

"You'd better kill those two brats right now. Either eat them or throw them far away, so they don't cause trouble for our village!"

"Yes! Let's just kill them!"

"Throw it away immediately, you can't tame this thing!"

"Second Girl, listen to everyone's advice, don't gamble with your life!"

Outside the courtyard gate, people were talking amongst themselves, and the stories were getting more and more outlandish. They were saying things like wolves were coming to take revenge in the middle of the night, or that the howling of wolves could attract wild beasts from the mountains. The stories were getting more and more far-fetched.

Ye Qingqing wanted to roll her eyes at the thought.

That's it?

These people can't even tell the difference between a wolf and a dog, yet they're spouting this nonsense about "raising cubs to attract mothers"? Back in her past life, there were tons of bloggers who kept cats and dogs on short videos, and none of them ever saw their cats attract tigers.

"Are you done arguing?"

She cleared her throat, her voice not loud, but the area outside the courtyard gate instantly quieted down.
