Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the government and ask, can you just take the weapons from the military camp back? When I left home, Yingying was a weak woman and it wasn't safe at home, so I spent a lot of money to make a crossbow and left it with her for her to use. As for saying that I left it on the battlefield, that was just a lie to her to make her feel at ease."

Lu Ziren simply explained it clearly to avoid being bothered by the man.

"Zhou Lianwei, didn't you hear Ziren say that the crossbow arrows were not brought back from the battlefield? Why are you so aggressive? Killing a wild boar is a skill, not a weapon. But you two are really capable. You can even kill a wild boar. Ziren, do you want to sell this wild boar?"

Niu Dalang came over, helped Lu Ziren speak, and began to ask about wild boar meat.

The last time Xia Yingying hunted down a wild boar, his family helped but didn't pay. This time when Lu Ziren was selling the wild boar, he decided to buy a few more pieces of pork.

"...I'll go back and ask..." Lu Ziren thought about it and did not give Niu Dalang a definite answer.

He had to ask Xia Yingying first whether to sell it or not, because there were more people in the family now and the meat might not be enough to eat. Although he hunted a few rabbits, pheasants and bamboo rats yesterday, he ate a lot of meat last night.

It seems that the meat at home is almost gone.

How long can a pig feed the whole family? Should we go to the mountains to hunt another one?

"What about the bamboo rats and rabbits? Do you want to sell them?" A fat man with a festive look asked, pointing at the bamboo rats and rabbits that Chen Yi was carrying.

"I'm selling all the bamboo rats. I'll ask my wife about the rabbits when I get back."

He himself did not even notice that the word "daughter-in-law" came out of his mouth so easily.

Xia Yingying didn't seem to like eating bamboo rat. The bamboo rat she cooked yesterday tasted pretty good, but Xia Yingying didn't eat it. She only ate rabbit meat, pork and vegetables, and didn't touch the bamboo rat at all.

I guess Xia Yingying doesn't like eating bamboo rats.

Lu Ziren guessed right about this.

Xia Yingying has always been afraid of mice, and she has no fondness for bamboo rat meat. Although she doesn't eat it, she can accept other people eating it.

"Well, I didn't expect Ziren to be a henpecked husband. He always asks his wife about everything."

The crowd immediately burst into laughter.

Lu Ziren's ears slowly turned red, but his expression remained unchanged.

Lu Ziren started the business right away, and when the others heard it, they clamored to buy bamboo rats.

The twenty bamboo rats were snatched away in no time.

Their skills are not as good as Lu Ziren's. Bamboo rat meat is tender and delicious, and basically they can only catch one or two to satisfy their cravings when they are extremely lucky.

The bamboo rats sold by Lu Ziren looked plump and delicious. Besides, the price was very reasonable. If you don't buy it now, when will you buy it? You don't know when you will catch it.

Now that someone is selling it, of course I have to try it. This bamboo rat looks very fat and tastes very good.

Several people who wanted to buy bamboo rats immediately made their orders.

Because rural families usually eat for the whole family, the twenty bamboo rats were bought by four or five families, and in the end they got more than 600 coins.

"You rabbit..." someone asked about the rabbit.

"Rabbit, I'll ask my wife too." Lu Ziren answered naturally, and the onlookers couldn't help but smile, but Lu Ziren's aura was strong and his pressure was terrifying enough that no one dared to laugh.

"Okay, wait until you go back and tell your wife whether you want to sell it. We'll go back to get the money and come back to buy it later." Niu Dalang was also interested in the rabbit and wanted to buy one to satisfy his hunger.

Lu Ziren carried the wild boar to the place where the animals were slaughtered in the village and then went back.

Chen Yi took the wooden bucket next to the slaughtering stove and fetched water into the pot. He waited for Lu Ziren to bring firewood and then started slaughtering.

When Lu Ziren returned home, Xia Yingying had just finished cooking the last dish.

"Dad, you're back. It's almost time for dinner. Hey, where's Uncle Chen?" Lu Haojie looked behind Lu Ziren and did not see Chen Yi.

"He's slaughtering pigs. Where's your mother?" Lu Ziren answered with a few words and was busy looking for Xia Yingying.

Lu Haojie stretched out his finger, which was holding some meat, and pointed to the kitchen. When he heard that a pig was being slaughtered, he asked Lu Ziren.

But I saw Lu Ziren had already gone to the kitchen.

Xia Yingying brought the last dish to the table. Seeing Lu Ziren coming back, she said, "You're back just in time. The meal is ready. You can wash your hands and eat now."

"Yingying, I hunted a wild boar, some rabbits, pheasants and bamboo rats. I have already sold the bamboo rats. Do you think you should sell the wild boar, rabbits and pheasants?

Xia Yingying's eyes widened in surprise. How come Lu Ziren could always hunt something every time he went to the mountains? Could it be that Lu Ziren was possessed by a koi?

Xia Yingying doesn't like eating wild boar meat very much. Most wild boar meat is lean and hard, and its meat is not as soft as that of domestic pigs.

"Let's sell them. We can make bacon out of the unsold ones, and we can eat domestic pigs in the future."

"Okay." Seeing Xia Yingying asked to sell the wild boar, Lu Ziren nodded.

They were not close to the town, and it was not market day. Even if they dragged the wild boar to the town, not many people would buy it. So Lu Ziren decided to set up a stall in the village to sell it.

"Dad, let me collect the money." Lu Haojie heard what Lu Ziren said just now. Seeing that they wanted to sell a wild boar, he volunteered.

"But after I collect the money, you have to pay me for my work." Lu Haojie added.

Lu Ziren looked at Lu Haojie in surprise. Lu Haojie thought that Lu Ziren was unwilling to pay him, so he shouted, "Dad, you can't treat me unfairly. When I helped mother collect and count money, she would pay me, so you have to pay me too. You have to respect the fruits of my labor."

Lu Haojie crossed his arms and looked at Lu Ziren with a pout.

Lu Ziren looked at Xia Yingying to verify the truth of what Lu Haojie said. Xia Yingying nodded immediately.

She couldn't help laughing.

I didn't expect that Lu Haojie, such a smart kid, would actually ask for his wages.

Lu Haojie's words caused ripples in Lu Ziren's heart. He didn't expect that Xia Yingying would treat children like this.

"Okay." Lu Ziren raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly.

"How much did you sell the pork for last time?" Lu Ziren asked Xia Yingying about the price of pork unexpectedly.

"Twelve cents. The price in town is fifteen cents. I'm two cents short."

Xia Yingying's heart skipped a beat. Oh no! Lu Ziren knew that she had shot a wild boar before, so he must have known about the crossbow. Xia Yingying's heart was shaking like a bucket.

At that time, she lied to the villagers as a temporary solution.

When Lu Ziren comes back and divorces her, it won't matter even if he knows that she used a crossbow, because she has already left. Even if Lu Ziren wants to verify something, there is no evidence and he will only think that the villagers are exaggerating.

But now, she and Lu Ziren have not divorced. The original owner would never use that kind of thing, and Lu Ziren is a smart man. He won’t find out anything, right?

Xia Yingying felt extremely guilty and couldn't help but glance at Lu Ziren.

Lu Ziren still looked calm, as if nothing had happened.

"I, that crossbow arrow..." Xia Yingying couldn't bear the mental pressure and started to talk without thinking.
