I Was Reborn into the Past and Saved My Stunning Sister-in-Law at the Beginning - Chapter 28:

Chapter 28: Delivering Pork?

“Those two sisters in your house are both much prettier than me. 

Xu Feng, why are you doing this?” 

Now that she knew it was Xu Feng, Wang Xiuli was no longer panicked. 

She was certain Xu Feng wouldn’t dare force anything. “Sister, you misunderstood. I came to deliver pork to you.” 

Since it was dark and Wang Xiuli couldn’t see anything, Xu Feng directly took 25 kilograms of pork from the System space. 

This was a sudden impulse after grabbing the small yellow fish and getting caught by Wang Xiuli.

25 kilograms of pork was nothing compared to the small yellow fish, and giving it to Wang Xiuli would even trigger the double reward. 

If it wasn’t too suspicious to give her 50 kilograms all at once, Xu Feng would have given all his pork to Wang Xiuli without hesitation.

“Deliver pork?” Wang Xiuli obviously didn’t believe this excuse. “Sister, stretch out your hand.” In such a shameful situation, Wang Xiuli definitely wouldn’t light the kerosene lamp, but she hesitantly stretched out her hand. 

“Where do you think you’re putting your hand!” Wang Xiuli’s tone immediately turned cold. 

What pork? 

She thought this man was just looking for an excuse to take advantage of her.

“You can’t blame me, sister. It’s dark, and I can’t see anything.” As Xu Feng spoke, he accurately placed the bag of pork into Wang Xiuli’s hand. How could she say he couldn’t see? Wang Xiuli didn’t have time to scold him further; as soon as she touched it, she froze. 

Even though she couldn’t see clearly, the feel told her exactly what it was. “25 kilograms of pork?” 

Wang Xiuli even thought she was dreaming. In these times, who would give a widow so much meat?

She knew Xu Feng always looked at her strangely. 

She had thought he had changed recently and become more promising, but he was still the same as before. She hadn’t expected him to be so generous—he really was a wastrel. 

“Don’t overthink it, sister. I’ll be going now!” Xu Feng had no interest in staying. He hurried home to count how many big yellow fish he had gotten.

But it was worth mentioning, this widow was really no worse than his own wife. 

Xu Feng’s baffling behavior once again caught Wang Xiuli off guard. 

She thought that since Xu Feng brought 25 kilograms of meat, he’d surely make some unreasonable request. 

She had even been thinking that if his request wasn’t too much… After all, she and her son couldn’t make it on their own. 

Having an extra man to help would always be better. 

After a while, she lit the kerosene lamp, and the bag in her hand was indeed 25 kilograms of pork. 

With such a big piece of meat, this year wouldn’t be as hard.

…

Not only was Wang Xiuli happy, but Xu Feng’s heartbeat didn’t slow down the entire time. He didn’t even glance at the 150-kilogram pork reward. 

His full attention was on the small yellow fish. 

After climbing back inside through the window, Xu Feng found the kerosene lamp and lit it. 

With a thought, all the gold bars from the System space appeared in his hands.

Under the flickering light, the sight of the small and large yellow fish almost blinded Xu Feng. Golden and dazzling, they were truly lovable. 

Goodness, one large yellow fish and four small ones. One large was worth 2000 yuan, and the small ones were worth 500 each. 

Xu Feng now held a fortune of 4000 yuan! 

Not to mention villagers—even most city folks didn’t have that kind of savings. And that wasn’t all. 

There were still more on the beam he hadn’t managed to grab! Who knew how many more were up there? He’d have to find another chance to climb over Wang Xiuli’s wall again.

…

“Be careful on the road, A’Feng. Come back early.” 

The next morning, after breakfast, Lin Xixue and Lin Xiyue sent Xu Feng to the station together. “Don’t fool around outside. Always remember you have a pregnant wife at home, and also…” Lin Xiyue didn’t finish her sentence, but Xu Feng already understood. 

When Lin Xiyue said things like that, it meant she had already acknowledged him as her man in her heart. 

It was a good start.

“Don’t worry, Lin Xixue. I’ll take the evening bus back tonight. If I miss it, I’ll be back tomorrow for sure. Wife, you go home and eat well!” 

After reminding them, Xu Feng turned and got on the bus. In these times, the driver wouldn’t wait for anyone. This trip was already planned—after delivering 2.5 kilograms of pork, he would go to the courtyard to find He Yuzhu. 

It was the weekend, and single He Yuzhu would surely be at home, making it a good chance to try his cooking.

As the engine roared, the bus headed straight to the capital. 

What Xu Feng didn’t expect was to meet the last person he wanted to see on the bus. “Sister Wang, heading to the city today too?” 

What a coincidence—both of them were going to the city to exchange pork for money. Xu Feng, thick-skinned as he was, didn’t feel awkward at all. Anyway, only the two of them knew what happened last night. As long as he wasn’t embarrassed, Wang Xiuli would be the one embarrassed.

“Ah, what a coincidence.” Xu Feng greeted her, and Wang Xiuli couldn’t pretend she didn’t hear him. 

She was caught red-handed by Xu Feng on her way to sell pork, and her face turned crimson. “Sister, if you’re going to the city, what about Dou Ding at home?” 

“I sent him to his aunt’s house to be looked after.” The awkward conversation ended there. Xu Feng, feeling a bit carsick, didn’t bother talking, and naturally, Wang Xiuli wouldn’t start the conversation either.

Nothing else happened on the way. 

After all, they weren’t the only ones on the bus. 

By the time they reached their stop, it was almost noon. Wang Xiuli got off the bus without even saying goodbye, disappearing in an instant. 

Xu Feng couldn’t help but laugh. 

What was there to be embarrassed about? 

Things like this were common in the village.

It only proved that, though Wang Xiuli’s life was hard, she hadn’t done anything improper. 

Such a woman was still worthy of respect. Xu Feng brushed aside his wandering thoughts, found a secluded place, took out 2.5 kilograms of pork, tied it up, and carried it in his hand. Following the familiar path, he arrived at Nanluoguxiang and stepped into the lively courtyard. It was the weekend, and the workers were all at home resting. In these times, there weren’t many entertainment options. People usually stayed at home to do chores.

As Xu Feng entered, many people stopped what they were doing and focused their attention on him. It wasn’t that they hadn’t seen Xu Feng before. 

That morning, when He Yuzhu argued with Jia Dongxu, everyone had seen this tall, handsome guy as He Yuzhu’s friend. 

What caught everyone’s attention now was the piece of meat in Xu Feng’s hand—about 2.5 to 3 kilograms. 

What was he planning to do with it?

“Yo, brother, what wind blew you here today?” He Yuzhu was about to get some water from the public tap when he saw Xu Feng. 

“Brother Zhuzi, I knew you’d be off today, so I came to hang out. This is some wild boar meat our village caught on the mountain. It’s not much, but don’t be shy!” 

As soon as Xu Feng said that, everyone in the courtyard looked at He Yuzhu with envy. Wow, he came bearing meat, and such a big piece too!

“Wow, even the butcher wouldn’t say that’s a small piece of meat! Brother, I won’t be polite then. I’ll let you taste my cooking at lunch today!”
