I Was Reborn into the Past and Saved My Stunning Sister-in-Law at the Beginning - Chapter 26:

Chapter 26: Climbing Over the Neighbor’s Wall at Night?

The century-old ginseng seen on the market was almost all fake. This thing was something that could be passed down as an heirloom. Its immense value aside, if someone hit rock bottom, they could rely on this ginseng to turn their fortunes around. 

At critical moments, it could even save a life. 

Xu Feng suppressed his excitement, knowing this was definitely not the best time to harvest it. 

He had no tools at hand, and breaking even a single root would be an unforgivable waste. When he had the chance, he would come up the mountain alone to dig it up. The fewer people who knew, the better. 

After carefully restoring the site and calming his emotions, Xu Feng returned to the team.

“How was it? Couldn’t even find a ginseng leaf, right?” Seeing Xu Feng return empty-handed, Shou Shan couldn’t help teasing him.

“I was too naive. Not only did I not find any, but I also almost stepped in dung.”

“Hahaha!”

After this brief interlude, about an hour and a half later, the reinforcements finally arrived on the mountain. They were all their own brothers. When they saw the huge boar lying on the ground, they excitedly circled around it.

“You guys really pulled it off. This beast is as fierce as a black bear!”

No wonder they needed so many people. Such a massive animal couldn’t possibly be carried down the mountain by just a few men.

“Who’s this fierce? Almost split the boar’s head in two!”

Everyone knew how tough a boar’s skull was. Seeing the head nearly split, the newcomers were shocked by their fighting power. Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Xu Feng. Seeing his towering 1.8-meter frame, no one dared question it.

“Enough talking. Let’s take advantage of the freshness and get the boar down the mountain.”

Three of the smaller men each carried a piglet, while the rest carried the tusked boar. After a long struggle, they finally brought it down the mountain at dawn. Since they took a different path, they had to pass through Qin Village this time.

Now, not only did Xu Village know that Shou Shan and his group had taken down a six to seven hundred kilogram tusked boar, but the neighboring Qin Village heard the news as well. This time, it was lively.

When the Village Chief heard the news, he set up two big pots at home. This wasn’t just about eating pork dishes; it was also an opportunity to arrange some matchmaking for the young men.

When Xu Feng took the sisters to the Village Chief’s house, the place was packed inside and out. The kitchen was bustling, and the villagers outside waited eagerly.

At this moment, Shou Shan stepped forward. “Everyone, look at these four young men beside me. You all know we took down a six to seven hundred kilogram tusked boar last night. That means each of these fine lads gets at least one hundred kilograms of meat. So, whether you’re from Xu Village or Qin Village, if anyone likes these four handsome young men, feel free to take them home.”

Shou Shan’s eloquence turned the event into a matchmaking fair. Hearing that they would receive one hundred kilograms of meat, many parents with unmarried daughters became interested.

“Shou Shan, I’ll split up with my man right now. Can I take a handsome young lad?” Aimin’s wife always spoke boldly no matter the occasion, something ordinary villagers wouldn’t dare say.

“Hahaha! No way! You just want the meat, not the lad!”

Their back-and-forth made everyone from both villages laugh uncontrollably.

“What’s wrong with that? Life is the same no matter who you live it with!” No sooner had she finished speaking than someone in the crowd yelled, “Li Xiuhua, if I don’t deal with you today, I won’t be called Xu!”

No need to guess—it was definitely Aimin. The couple started fighting right there, giving both villages a good laugh. They were truly the clowns of Xu Village, always putting on a show.

“Alright, alright, enough. Let’s not make fools of ourselves. Let’s get serious. If anyone is interested in our lads, come up and introduce yourselves. I won’t claim they’re perfect, but I guarantee they’ll treat their wives well. If there’s any problem, come find me.”

They all grew up together, so Shou Shan dared to make such a promise. Surprisingly, amidst the laughter, they actually matched one couple.

“The pork’s ready. Let the elderly and children go first!” Someone shouted from inside, and no one lingered outside anymore. Holding their bowls, they squeezed into the courtyard.

“There are two big pots today. No need to crowd, no need to rush.”

…

“Sister, I heard the neighboring village took down a six to seven hundred kilogram tusked boar. Lots of people from our village went to eat pork dishes. Let’s go too?” Qin Jingru, also a big foodie with braided hair, came to ask her cousin to join the fun.

“It’s just a bunch of pig offal. Besides, with so many people, there won’t be enough to share,” Qin Huairu was reluctant. Such places would be crowded, and she didn’t like being stared at.

“Come on, Sister. I heard they made two big pots, and the Xu Village Village Chief is said to be very generous.” Worn down by her cousin, Qin Huairu finally agreed to join the crowd.

…

Meanwhile, Xu Feng was helping to serve food. With so many people, he couldn’t serve as generously as last time; otherwise, those at the end of the line wouldn’t get any.

“Does this young man have a fiancée?” A woman from the neighboring village, unfamiliar with Xu Feng, asked while queuing for pork dishes, eyeing his upright and handsome figure.

“Aunt, you can forget about him. He already has a wife,” Shou Shan explained cheerfully, while thinking to himself—turns out finding a wife wasn’t hard; it was just hard for them. Despite all the talk earlier, only one family showed interest, and even that wasn’t certain.

“Xu Feng, where’s your wife?” It was Wang Xiuli who spoke, bringing her son to queue at Xu Feng’s spot.

“Inside, Sister Wang. I’ll serve you and your son a bit more. Go inside and eat with them.”

Seeing Wang Xiuli reminded Xu Feng of the treasure in her house. Even though it was right under his nose, it still felt out of reach. He couldn’t exactly climb over a widow’s wall at night. If he got caught, he’d be the village laughingstock. Anyway, that treasure wasn’t going anywhere. He’d find a chance eventually.

Soon, the event was nearing its end, and Xu Feng spotted the Qin sisters in the crowd.
