NovelEnglishAunt Wang Stood Up for Her
The two of them did not wait on the mountain for long before Wang Shuanzi lit another torch and brought Li Gengtian and Li Laishun over.
The two of them were also surprised to see such a large wild boar and complimented Lin Xiaoyue.
Then, without much delay, Uncle Wang and Li Gengtian tied up the wild boar and carried it down the mountain with two shoulder poles.
When they arrived at Lin Xiaoyue’s house, there were already many people there.
The village chief and his wife also came.
When they saw the four people carrying such a big wild boar back, all of them were amazed.

After everyone retreated, they surrounded the wild boar again. All of them were amazed at how big the boar was.
Uncle Wang gestured to Lin Xiaoyue. Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue nodded, he gave Li Gentian and the others a look and went with them to prepare to shave the boar.
“Xiaoyue, did you really kill this boar?” The village chief quickly asked Lin Xiaoyue with a kind and incredulous look in his eyes.
“Hehe, not exactly. When I saw it, it was injured and couldn’t get up. I can only say that I was lucky,” Lin Xiaoyue repeated what she said earlier.
“Not bad!” The village chief nodded in satisfaction.
“Shuanzi said that you want to sell the pork, the price is 18 cents for the fatty meat and 13 cents for the lean meat. Is this true?” The village chief asked.
Hearing this, many people gathered around and looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
“Yes. It’s true!” Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
“Last year, there was a plague, so everyone in the village is having a hard time. I was lucky to get this wild boar. I just hope that all of us can have some meat.”
The village chief’s eyes lit up.
“Good! You have a good heart!” He immediately said.
The surrounding people repeatedly praised Lin Xiaoyue. Some already said how much they wanted to buy.
“Why is it still so expensive if you want to help? It sounds nice, but aren’t you just afraid that you’ll be punished by God?” Suddenly, a harsh voice sounded.
Lin Xiaoyue frowned.
Before she could say anything, she heard Aunt Chen’s voice from behind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“If you think it’s too expensive, don’t buy it! The fatty meat in town is sold for 21 cents and the lean meat costs 16 cents. She only charges 18 and 13 cents for that. What are you complaining about?!”
Aunt Wang put the wooden bucket of hot water next to Uncle Wang, stood up and walked toward the crowd.
“Xiaoyue is a good hunter. She went to Ruyi Restaurant in town this morning to sell goods and even got the attention of Chef Liu. He said that as long as it’s from Xiaoyue, they will accept it no matter how much it costs!”
Aunt Wang looked disdainfully at the woman who said those ungrateful words. “Hmph! You said that Xiaoyue is afraid of being punished by God, so she decided to sell it cheap. Do you now know that the customers of Ruyi Restaurant in town couldn’t wait to eat what she hunted? If this wild boar was sent to Ruyi Restaurant, it would cost at least 17 to 18 cents a pound. Wouldn’t it be more profitable than selling it to us?!”
As soon as these words were said, everyone started to scold the woman from the Chen family.
“That’s right. If you think it’s too expensive, then don’t buy it!”
“...”
“That’s right. Don’t buy it. Watch her sell all the meat off,” someone said sarcastically.
Aunty Chen was usually harsh and unkind. Many people in the village had long disliked her. How could they not seize the opportunity to make fun of her?
Aunt Chen’s face flushed red.
