I Was Reborn into the Past and Saved My Stunning Sister-in-Law at the Beginning - Chapter 35:
Chapter 35: Qin Huairu Is Getting Married?
“We’re out of bullets at home. Everyone be extra careful this time when we go up the mountain!”
Shou Shan remained clear-headed and wasn’t blinded by hatred. The last two times they hunted wild boar, the bullets had played a huge role. Without them, it would never have been that easy to bring them down.
But not having a gun didn’t mean they couldn’t hunt wild boar. It was just more dangerous and troublesome.
After spending two to three hours to reach the scene of the incident, they could still vaguely see the blackened dried blood on the ground.
Shou Shan’s eyes immediately turned red, and it took him a while to calm down.
They then followed the tracks carefully, but it wasn’t as simple as encountering it right away.
After another two hours, Xu Feng, trailing behind, directly used the search function.
He found it—8 kilometers away!
Xu Feng had also figured out the mechanics of the search function. The search range drew a circle with a 10-kilometer radius.
Looking at the red dot’s position on the map, it was 8 kilometers to the northwest.
Xu Feng subtly guided the team toward the northwest. Half an hour later, they finally found the beast.
Blood still stained its tusks—it was indeed the brute that had injured people!
It was even bigger than the last tusked boar. One could imagine how desperate those aunts must have been at the time.
Without bullets, they had to figure out a way to injure the beast first.
Otherwise, at the boar’s speed, if it started rampaging into the forest, they wouldn’t be able to catch up at all.
Man-powered bows and arrows were useless. Even if accurate, they couldn’t pierce this beast’s thick hide.
They had to rely on Xu Feng’s brute strength for a miracle.
With his enhanced senses, Xu Feng could throw the knife accurately and powerfully.
This time, Xu Feng carefully aimed, pouring all his strength into the machete, and hurled it with all his might.
“Ah!”
A miserable howl followed as the machete pierced deep into the boar’s neck.
The rest became easier. They used hunting dogs to slowly wear the boar down.
In the end, the boar collapsed unwillingly, while Shou Shan shed his last tear.
This time, dividing the boar was unusually quiet. Everyone silently took their share and returned home.
The deceased were gone, and time would eventually heal the wounds.
Xu Feng took the 140 kilograms of pork and cured it at home with the two sisters, also sending a portion to Wang Xiuli.
[Consuming supplies simultaneously for Lin Xixue, Lin Xiyue, and Wang Xiuli, triggering double rewards]
[10x multiplier activated, reward: 1,400 kilograms of pork]
Looks like another trip to the city was necessary. But this time, Xu Feng was unlikely to run into Wang Xiuli. He only delivered 5 kilograms this time.
“Wife, don’t worry, I’ll try to get back as soon as I can!”
Knowing that her man was running around to give them a better life, Lin Xiyue no longer had those old suspicions that he went to the city to fool around.
“Take it slow on the road. If you can’t make it back in time, stay in the city for the night.”
Lin Xixue took the initiative to help Xu Feng tidy his clothes, but ended up getting ambushed—a sudden kiss on her smooth, fair forehead.
“Wife, you’re so good to me. I’m off then.”
Xu Feng patted his butt and left, leaving Lin Xixue blushing hard.
Not to mention the teasing look from her younger sister, which made her too embarrassed to talk to her for the whole day.
…
It was the weekend, and there was a big event in the Courtyard of Nanluoguxiang.
That was because Jia Dongxu from the Jia family brought home a beautiful girl.
Since it was a day off and there was nothing to do, all the men and women, young and old, from the Courtyard came out to watch the excitement.
Oh my, the girl was indeed gorgeous!
People always said the eldest of the Yan family was lucky to find such a beautiful wife.
But no one expected that Jia Dongxu’s bride-to-be would be even prettier.
The only flaw was that she was a girl from the nearby countryside.
But even so, the young men in the Courtyard were all green with envy.
And the one who envied the most was He Yuzhu. The kind of girl he dreamed of marrying had now been taken by his mortal enemy, Jia Dongxu—how could he feel good about it?
“Oh my, sister-in-law, your Jia Dongxu has really made a name for himself now!
Such a beautiful girl, you rarely see one even in the city!”
It was the usual banter when everyone helped to praise someone at a wedding, especially when the bride was indeed beautiful.
“It’s not settled yet, just bringing the girl over to have a look around. If there’s a happy event, we’ll notify everyone first.”
Jia Zhangshi felt proud and was happily chatting with the people in the yard.
“Already brought her home, it’s only a matter of time before it’s finalized. By then, we’ll definitely have to drink your family’s wedding wine.”
That’s right, this bride-to-be was none other than Qin Huairu.
Who knew where she had gotten the news that there was a city man with a good job looking for a wife?
With the help of a matchmaker, the two met, and Jia Dongxu immediately took a liking to Qin Huairu.
As for Qin Huairu, she was exactly looking for this type—a city man with a registered household and a stable job.
Plus, Jia Dongxu wasn’t ugly, so she had no objections.
After exchanging opinions, they came to the Courtyard to take a look.
If nothing went wrong, they would pick a date and get married.
“What do you think, Huairu? This is where I live. The workplace isn’t far either, just nearby.”
Jia Dongxu also felt very proud, smiling as he introduced his situation to Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu took a glance inside the house. Her first impression was that it was a bit small.
But life was never perfect—finding someone with such conditions was already not easy.
She nodded, expressing no problem.
Then Jia Dongxu introduced her to the neighbors, especially highlighting his mentor, the First Uncle of the Courtyard.
And, of course, He Yuzhu.
“He Yuzhu, buddy, I found someone first—better hurry up yourself.”
Anyone could hear the mocking tone.
This made He Yuzhu so angry that he didn’t even want to acknowledge him.
Looking at Qin Huairu, he still fantasized about how nice it would be if she were his wife.
At that moment, Xu Feng walked in, pushing his bicycle, with 1 kilogram of venison hanging from the handlebars.
Seeing the yard so lively, he thought they were waiting for him.
Scanning the crowd, his eyes landed on Qin Huairu.
Then he glanced at Brother Yuzhu’s face, which looked like he was suffering from constipation—Xu Feng immediately guessed what had happened.
So the village flower of Qin family village was going to end up with Jia Dongxu—that was something Xu Feng hadn’t expected.
“Brother, it’s only been a few days, and you’re already riding a Phoenix brand bicycle, huh?”
Seeing Xu Feng pushing his Phoenix bicycle, He Yuzhu seemed to have found a point to fight back, even though the bicycle wasn’t his.
Hearing this, many in the yard shifted their attention to Xu Feng.
Qin Huairu also noticed Xu Feng, not expecting to run into him here.
It really was a Phoenix brand bicycle, and there was also a piece of meat hanging from the handlebars.
“Just bought it recently. Brother Yuzhu, this is some venison I hunted in the mountains—brought it over for you to try.”
Goodness, when the people in the yard heard this, they were filled with envy again.
They couldn’t even afford pork, while Xu Feng was already eating venison.
