When the village chief came over with the meat, Su Xiaoxue's meal was almost ready.

He walked into the yard with a smile and happened to see Su's father accompanying his two children in the yard.

"Hey, Jianguo, are you guys cooking so early? I can smell the delicious food."

Father Su stood up quickly and said, "We have guests at home. Why don't you cook something delicious and go home early?"

The village chief knew that the future son-in-law of the Su family had come to his house. He had made great efforts in catching a wild boar in the mountains today. If he hadn't come, I'm afraid the wild boar would not have been caught and the whole village would not have had any meat to eat.

Moreover, not to mention eating meat, these wild boars are so big that they have extremely strong destructive power. Once they destroy crops before harvest, the villagers will lose all their harvest.

"Your son-in-law is great!" The village chief said with a smile, "I came here today to bring you some meat. Every family in our village who helped got some."

When Su's father heard that the village chief gave them wild boar meat, he was very grateful.

Father Su originally wanted to ask the village chief to stay for a while, but seeing that they had guests and other things to do, the village chief hurried back.

After the village chief left, Father Su hurriedly took the wild boar meat to the kitchen, "Xiaoxue, wild boar meat, your uncle Daqiang sent it."

Wild boar meat is relatively dry, has less fat, and is not processed, so it tastes rather fishy.

However, Su Xiaoxue knew how to process wild boar meat. There were some seasonings at home that could remove the fishy smell.

After cutting the wild boar meat, Su Xiaoxue quickly heated the oil in a pan and put the wild boar meat in.

Soon, fragrance came out of the house.

At this time, the two younger sisters also came back from school.

Seeing the two children in the yard, they were stunned for a moment before they reacted.

"Is it Xiaoguai and Xiaobao?"

They had all been to Qin's house and knew the two children.

Xiaoguai called out very obediently, "Auntie."

Seeing this, Xiaobao quickly followed his sister to call for help.

Xiao Ni touched their faces fondly, and Er Ni took out the White Rabbit milk candy that she was reluctant to eat, "Come, Xiaoguai, Xiaobao, I'll give it to you."

The two of them looked at the White Rabbit milk candy that Erni handed over with wide eyes, but they waved their hands the next second.

Xiaoguai said, "No, no."

Dad said that we should not eat other people’s food casually.

Xiaobao also responded: "Auntie, you guys eat, we're not hungry."

Erni didn't expect them to say that. Xiaoni was just about to take out her White Rabbit candy and give it to them. When she heard this, she smiled and said, "It's already this late, aren't you hungry yet?"

As she spoke, she forcefully handed her White Rabbit candy to Xiaoguai: "Here, eat."

Xiao Ni also stuffed the White Rabbit milk candy in her hand into Xiao Bao's hand.

The brother and sister were a little surprised, but still said thank you politely.

The child's politeness made the Su family like him and feel sorry for him even more.

"Okay, it's almost time to eat!"

A voice was heard, and Su Xiaoxue brought out a plate of braised meat.

"Wow..." Xiao Ni exclaimed excitedly, "It smells so good."

"Come on, let's have a meal. It's going to be dark soon and it won't be convenient to travel then." Su Xiaoxue said to Qin Chi.

She made four dishes, a wild boar stew, a leek scrambled egg, a tofu and chicken mushroom, and a vegetable soup!

"Come on, eat quickly!" Su Xiaoxue urged everyone.

He looked at the delicious three dishes and one soup obediently, and his eyes turned to Su Xiaoxue who was not far away from him.

"Did Mom do that?" she asked.

Su Xiaoxue smiled and nodded, "Well, I made it, you try it and see if it tastes good?"

"It's delicious." Xiaoguai praised without thinking.

Xiaobao also nodded, "It must be delicious and fragrant."

He is usually a man of few words, and it is rare for him to say these words.

Qin Chi looked at Xiaobao, then at Su Xiaoxue. He knew that this matter was related to Su Xiaoxue.

After dinner, it was not yet dark.

The Su family saw the father and his two daughters out of the village before returning home.

Su Xiaoxue counted the money she earned again today. She sold more than 30 kilograms of chicken mushrooms and more than 10 kilograms of porcini mushrooms for more than 20 yuan.

Adding the money earned from hairpins, the total amount was over thirty.

Excluding the thirty yuan she gave to Qin Chi, she still had a lot of money in her hands.

So, Su Xiaoxue gave all the money from selling mushrooms before and this time to her parents.

"Mom and Dad, take this money. It's not much, but it can be used when you need it."

Hearing this, Father Su hurriedly pushed it back, "No, I have money."

"It's okay. This originally belongs to our family. You can keep it. When the time comes, your two sisters can buy whatever they want. I've made money selling headbands myself, so you don't have to worry."

Although she doesn't have much left now, she has paid back all Qin Chi's money, and now everything she earns is hers.

There are quite a lot of hairpins and headbands, and the profit is huge, she can make more than double the money, which means that she paid out 40 yuan in cost, but the profit she got back is definitely more than 40 yuan.

Forty yuan is a huge sum of money. After receiving the entire sum, she plans to go to the provincial capital and pick up a large batch of goods, and then come back to continue selling them.

Seeing this, Su's mother told Su's father to keep it first.

"You keep it for the child. When she needs it in the future, just give it to her."

Father Su could only nod.

In fact, Su's mother also had her own plan, that is, her daughter was about to get married, but their family had always been very poor. Before, let alone giving the child some dowry to go to the Qin family, even Su's father had no money to buy medicine and see a doctor.

But now, Su's father's illness has improved, and his daughter has earned money for them. Su's mother plans to use the money to buy a dowry for the child?

When the couple lay down at night, Su's mother told them about this.

"Our Xiaoxue is about to get married. There is nothing at home. I plan to buy something for the child. I will give her the money she gave me. What do you think?"

Father Su naturally agreed and nodded, "Okay, there are a lot of mushrooms in the mountains recently. Let's get more when the time comes. If we don't go to the county town to sell them, we can go to the town to sell them. Every bit of money we make is a bit of money. We can give our children some food when the time comes. We can't marry someone too shabby."

Before Su's mother gave the money to Su Xiaoxue to buy things the next day, Su Xiaoxue found Su's mother and said to her: "Mom, our family is not rich. When I get married, I don't need to prepare anything. When the Qin family arranges other gifts, you can just take the money and buy some."

Nowadays, marriages basically require the man to pay a betrothal gift, and then use the money to buy some red basins, red mirrors, a pair of red candlesticks and other things. The rest is the betrothal gift sent by the man, which will be taken over as a dowry.

Of course, parents from wealthy families would spend their own money to buy some extra things.

Su Xiaoxue thought that life at home was not easy and did not intend to let them do that.

Mother Su was a little hesitant when she heard her say that. "How can that be possible? You should buy some more. Your father and I don't have much money, but we can still add some."

Su's mother thought of the jade bracelet that her mother had left her, which she had never been willing to wear, so she decided to give it to the child when the time came to take him to his parents-in-law's house.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoxue could only persuade them, "My family is not rich now. When I leave, my two sisters still need to go to school. I know you want to give me a decent life, but since the Qin family chose me, they have never thought of coveting such things. You can just buy me some basins and mirrors that other families buy. Keep the rest of the money. If there is any need for money at home, you can arrange it. Otherwise, I will not feel at ease when I get married."

After Su Xiaoxue's persuasion, Su's mother nodded, which meant she agreed.
