Chapter 81: So Shocking!

A slightly younger brigade secretary, Secretary Liu, circled the wild boar, frowning for a long time, seemingly lost in thought. He was probably in his early thirties, not old, but very composed and steady.

After examining the wild boar, he turned to look at Bai Naihan.

Bai Naihan was lowering his head, carefully cleaning the pig blood off his military bayonet.

“Brother Bai, could you tell me about the process of you killing the wild boar?”

The surrounding villagers were also very curious.

It was truly shocking that a woman and a man in a wheelchair could kill this several-hundred-catty wild boar.
[T/N – several-hundred-catty, approx. 1.1 lbs]

You had to know that even if a few of their adult men encountered this wild boar, they might not be able to escape unscathed, let alone kill the boar.

But the fact was that a woman who couldn’t even lift a chicken and a man who couldn’t even walk had killed the wild boar.

Moreover, its death was so tragic.

Just looking at it was a bit eerie.

Bai Naihan slowly raised his head to look at Secretary Liu, his gaze carrying a hint of coldness.

Secretary Liu was stunned by his gaze, his whole body trembling as if he had been targeted by a wild beast.

Fortunately, the man didn’t make things difficult for him and said briefly, “My sister-in-law stabbed out one of its eyes, and then I took the opportunity to slash its neck with the bayonet and smashed its skull with a stone.”

He described the process as simply as talking about the weather, but everyone could imagine how dangerous it had been.

“What? The sickle in the wild boar’s eye was actually stabbed in by educated youth Yun?”

Someone didn’t believe it and went to pull out the sickle from the wild boar’s eye. As a result, they couldn’t even budge it the first time. It took two people working together to pull it out, and the force was so great that they almost fell on their butts.

Seeing this scene, everyone quieted down even more.

Someone swallowed nervously, “I didn’t expect educated youth Yun to look so delicate but be so strong!”

The gazes towards Yun Qinghuan carried admiration, and there was also a hint of fear.

Had they said bad things about Yun Qinghuan before?

In the crowd, Lu Sunhua saw this scene and was so frightened that his legs trembled a bit. He really couldn’t understand why he had provoked this tigress before!

Thinking of something, the fear in his eyes deepened, and he unconsciously took a step back.

Wang Shufeng was standing beside Lu Sunhua and naturally saw the scene of the two people working together to pull out the sickle. She retorted stubbornly, “Is it really that exaggerated?”

Almost fell down?

Seeing Lu Sunhua’s cowardly appearance, she directly curled her lip. “Coward!”

Secretary Liu saw Bai Naihan’s explanation. He had originally wanted to hear the details, but he didn’t expect the man to stop talking. He asked, “Brother Bai, is that all?”

“That’s all.”

Secretary Liu: “…”

He didn’t want to really force him to talk, so he only asked, “After all, you risked your lives to kill this wild boar, but the things in the mountains belong to the public. The wild boar can’t completely belong to your Bai family. The brigade also has a share. Brother Bai, how do you plan to divide it?”

Bai Naihan looked at Yun Qinghuan, asking for her opinion.

Yun Qinghuan waved her hand. “I don’t know the village rules. You can decide.”

Hearing her say this, Bai Naihan looked at Secretary Liu. “We don’t want much, but after all, we almost lost our lives for this wild boar. So, you should at least give the Bai family fifty catty of this several-hundred-catty wild boar.”

“Fifty catty?” Someone in the crowd disagreed. “That’s too much! Your family wants so much, how are the rest of us supposed to divide what’s left?”

The villagers were actually very selfish. When it came to food, they would protect it with their lives. Even though the Bai family had almost lost their lives for this wild boar, they couldn’t bear to see the Bai family get so much.

That was a full fifty catty!

Eating one catty a day would last almost two whole months!

Who wouldn’t be envious?

Even though many people disagreed and there was a lot of discussion, Bai Naihan accurately found the man who spoke, who was none other than Yang Guihua’s lazy husband, Bai Guojin. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked over like a sharp blade. His calm voice had a strong penetrating power, and everyone present could hear him. “Anyone who is not convinced can go hunt a wild boar themselves. Don’t even mention fifty catty; even if I, Bai Naihan, were to give away half, I would never say a word more.”

Everyone was speechless at his words, and for a moment, they all felt a bit guilty.

They didn’t dare to risk their lives to hunt wild boars. Even if they managed to hunt one, they might not have the life to enjoy it.

Secretary Liu waited for the crowd to quiet down before waving his hand. “Then we’ll divide it according to what Brother Bai said.”

“Okay, after you butcher it, our Bai family will take fifty catty first, and the rest you can divide among yourselves as you wish,” Bai Naihan requested.

This was to avoid them being given the bad parts of the meat in the end.

“Alright.”

Granny Wang babbled in the crowd, “Don’t pick all the fatty meat; that’s all good meat.”

In this era, people loved to eat fatty meat and didn’t like lean meat.

Hearing Granny Wang say this, Jiang Wenxiu directly said with a fake smile, “That wild boar was killed by educated youth Yun and her family at the risk of their lives. Even if they really take all the fatty parts, it’s only right. You should be secretly happy that you can eat pork without lifting a finger. How dare you be picky?”

Saying this, she snorted coldly, not even waiting for Granny Wang to respond, and directly turned around to look at Yun Qinghuan worriedly. Yun Qinghuan’s face was now pale, clearly having been greatly frightened.

Granny Wang’s face turned ashen from Jiang Wenxiu’s retort, but she didn’t dare to say a word.

Since the distribution had been decided, the rest was no longer Yun Qinghuan and Bai Naihan’s concern.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law’s face was really pale, and Bai Naihan whispered to his mother that his sister-in-law had scratches on her leg, Liu Yuzhi walked straight over. “Qinghuan, the people from the brigade will take care of the rest. You and An’an should go back and rest first.”

Yun Qinghuan didn’t refuse. She really felt very tired. She nodded and led An’an towards home.

Bai Naihan turned his wheelchair and followed behind.

Seeing them leave, Jiang Wenxiu also quickly followed, and Qiao Yue also came over. Both of them came to ask if she was okay. Seeing that she was just pale and not actually injured, they also breathed a sigh of relief and returned after reaching the entrance of the Bai family’s courtyard.

They didn’t encounter many people along the way. Everyone was gathered around watching several strong men butcher the wild boar and remove its hair.

After all, this was the wild boar of their entire brigade, and every household had a share, so they had to keep an eye on it to prevent anyone from playing tricks and secretly taking some.

Yun Qinghuan had originally planned to lie down and rest for a while after returning home, but before she even entered the house, Bai Naihan stopped her.

“Sister-in-law, you haven’t applied medicine to the wound on your leg yet.”

She didn’t know when he had gone into the house to get the medicine. He was holding a bottle of liniment for bruises and sprains.

Yun Qinghuan paused and obediently moved a stool to sit in the courtyard, planning to apply the medicine before sleeping. After all, she had sweated a lot, and her body was covered in dust. Even if it was just a small wound, as long as it bled, there was a risk of infection.

Yun Qinghuan cared a lot about her body.

She reached out to take the medicine from his hand to apply it herself, but Bai Naihan paused and moved his hand to the side. “Let me do it.”
