The first wild boar that was captured was soon divided up by the villagers.

Wei Mancheng and Jixiang stayed until the end. Jixiang was carrying a pig leg, looking a little funny.

Li Changle, who was standing in the corridor, said with a smile: "Do you want someone to help you take it there?"

This pig leg is really heavy. Jixiang looks to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, and like his master, he is a little thin.

In addition to the pork legs, she also gave two large bones with meat on them, claiming that like cures like, and made some soup for the aunt.

A piece of pork liver to replenish blood.

Thinking that the big bones had been given away, she took a bamboo basket and filled it with some vegetables, including radishes, apples and lychees.

"It's been too cold lately, so I haven't been outside much. Take these back and consider them as my New Year gifts to Auntie."

These system outputs are the only ones she can show off.

Wei Mancheng couldn't help laughing as he carried the bamboo basket and thanked her, "These things are hard to come by at this time of year. I, Wei, would like to thank Madam Li on behalf of my mother."

Li Changle smiled and said, "Nothing, Auntie, enjoy your meal, come find me later."

"..." Wei Mancheng looked at her with amusement. This woman was really nice to his mother. He had come here twice and never returned empty-handed.

After saying goodbye to the other party, he left the Li family courtyard with Jixiang.

Jixiang was quite fond of Li Changle. "Mrs. Li is such a good person. I've bought pork for 15 wen per pound before. 8 wen is really cheap."

"Yes." The woman looked calm and kind.

"Oh, right, Master. That Hu Gui..."

" ……snort!"

That night, when Hu Gui came out of his poker friend's house and returned to his own courtyard wall, he was knocked unconscious by someone who flashed out from the corner of the wall.

Jixiang crouched down, waving the stick, "Let you go? Isn't all the suffering our old lady has endured in vain over the years?"

"Beat him up first!"

As he said this, he spat into his palms, rubbed them, then clenched his fists and punched the people on the ground, hitting them hard.

Wei Mancheng, who was standing aside, had an indifferent expression.

No matter how hard Jixiang hit the man on the ground, he didn't move.

Jixiang's hands were tired from beating, so he switched to his feet and beat Hu Gui from head to toe.

"Don't expect to recover unless you lie down for a month or so." He picked up a wooden stick on the ground and hit Hu Gui on both knees.

"Hmph!!"

After Jixiang finished beating the man, Wei Mancheng turned around and walked back, as if it would be an eyesore to look at him any longer.

"Drag the man to the door and knock!"

If they lie in the snow for a night, Hu Wang's family will probably be able to hold the funeral tomorrow.

-

The sky and the earth were covered in silver.

On the official road leading to Li County, two horse-drawn carriages were traveling one after the other.

A clear female voice came from the carriage leading the way, "Brother, when will we get to Li County? We have been walking for almost a month. If we keep going, it will be New Year's Eve."

Sun Daxing sat on the shaft of the cart, not quite agreeing with his sister's impatience in urging him along.

Without even turning his head, he said:

"You, your sister-in-law and nephew should stay safe inside. Li County is just ahead."

"I told you that the journey would take a long time, so I asked you to stay at the manor to help look after it, but you insisted on coming along."

Sun Qiaoqiao curled her lips and said, "Brother, I'm tired of staying in the manor, so I want to go out for a walk."

Another woman in the carriage was stroking her sleeping son's head. Upon hearing this, she quickly glanced at her sister-in-law beside her and continued to keep her head down in silence.

What if the whole family is stupid?

Her ulterior motives are known to everyone.

"Qiaoqiao, you have to remember who you are and stop dreaming about things you shouldn't."

Another voice came from another carriage behind him.

The woman in front was thinking, what her uncle said couldn't be more straightforward, he almost said that a toad can never eat swan meat.

The corners of her mouth curled up almost imperceptibly. If her sister-in-law hadn't been right in front of her, she might have burst out laughing.

Sun Qiaoqiao, who was sitting opposite her in the car, blushed redly.

Infuriating.

She lifted the curtain of the car window and said angrily:

"Sun Dasheng! You did it on purpose!"

"Well, I, your second brother, am sincere!" The man behind had a ruffian look on his face. Seeing that Sun Qiaoqiao was angry, he didn't take it seriously.

"You haven't even met the young master twice in a year. Even if you did, he wouldn't even look at you. What kind of dream are you having to win the master's eye?"

"The old lady of the Sun Mansion wants to arrange some beautiful girls to be the young master's bedfellows every year, but she never said she would arrange you!"

“Fortunately, he has not been safe these past few years, and the old lady can’t do anything about him.

Otherwise, the candidates for the maidservant position would be lined up from the front door of Gu's house to the streets of Kyoto. Would it be your turn?"

"Listen to me, and put away those messy dreams of your aunt. Do you think there is such a thing as an aunt in the backyard of Gu's house?"

Sun Qiaoqiao's eyes turned red and her chest heaved with anger.

"Are you still my brother? How can you treat your own sister like this?"

Sun Qiaoqiao twisted her handkerchief and shouted angrily out of the car window!

"You are my biological sister, so I told you the truth, but you still don't want to listen! You are so stubborn! There is a saying that goes, honest advice hurts the ear!"

Sun Daxing in the front also added, "Our family has been servants of the Sun Mansion for three generations, and the relationship between us and the eldest young master is also that of master and servant.

The eldest young master doesn't have much affection for us, he just supports us because our mother has a master-servant relationship with the late old lady."

"Qiaoqiao, don't be so stubborn. You'll make Dad lose face too."

The attacks from both sides made Sun Qiaoqiao feel ashamed and angry to death.

She stood up and said, "Brother, why are you the same as Sun Dasheng? I, I just like the young master, so what? I just like to dream, isn't it okay?"

Sun Daxing frowned and said, "When we get to the land, if you are still so stubborn, you will pack up and go back to Ping'an with your second brother after the New Year."

Sun Daxing scolded with a sullen face.

Sun Qiaoqiao sat down, biting her lip, looking angry.
