The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 121: The sister of childhood friend in the novel (25)

When Wang Xiangbei entered the village, the villagers who passed by him praised him for his ability, but he would often just respond with a "hmm" or a nod. Fortunately, the villagers knew that he was not talkative, so they didn't pick on him.

When Wang Xiangbei returned to Zhangjia Village, he did not go back to his own home, but went directly to the village chief's house with his things.

It was already noon when we arrived at the village chief's house, and his family was having lunch.

The village chief's son looked at Wang Xiangbei walking into his house, and then swallowed unconsciously. It was not that Wang Xiangbei was delicious, but his appearance was really mouth-watering.

Wang Xiangbei had a dead rabbit on his waist and a live rabbit in his hand. The rabbit must have been injured, but the rabbit's legs would kick occasionally. Xiaobai beside him had a pheasant in his mouth.

When the village chief saw Wang Xiangbei coming in, he wiped his mouth, put down his bowl, and went to greet him: "Xiangbei is here, have you had lunch? Do you want to eat something together?"

"No, uncle." Wang Xiangbei shook his head. "Uncle, I want to exchange these things for hens that can only lay eggs. Do you have any at home?"

When she heard that it was about exchanging things, the village chief's daughter-in-law's eyes widened. She glanced at the prey on his body and her face was full of smiles.

"Xiangbei! You always go up the mountain, sometimes for several days. How can you raise chickens?" The village chief disagreed. "If you want to eat eggs, uncle will exchange them for eggs for you."

The village chief knew Wang Xiangbei. He had no shortage of chicken to eat. He could hunt pheasants every few days.

Wang Xiangbei said firmly: "Uncle, I just want to change to a hen that lays eggs."

The village chief's daughter-in-law was afraid that the meat would fly away, so she quickly said, "We have two chickens in our family, one is an old hen, and the other is a new one that hasn't started laying eggs yet! How about this! I'll give you the old hen."

"Nonsense!" the village chief shouted in a low voice, "That old hen is already so old, it's almost time for it to lay eggs. You're taking this away, aren't you cheating me?"

"Xiangbei! Why don't you wait a little longer and come back in half a month." The village chief turned and said to Wang Xiangbei.

Wang Xiangbei put the live rabbit in his hand into the hands of the village chief: "This rabbit is only injured, it should be pregnant, uncle, I will exchange it for the half-grown hen."

"But you don't even have a chicken coop, how can you raise chickens?" The village chief was a little worried.

"I'll keep them at home for the next few days. There's a bamboo forest on the back hill. I can just make a chicken coop in the next few days." Wang Xiangbei answered easily.

The village chief nodded and winked at his son, who immediately understood and grabbed the half-grown hen out of his chicken coop.

Wang Xiangbei took the hen and turned around and walked back home.

The village chief put the rabbit in his hand into an empty cage on the side and continued eating.

His family had raised rabbits in their early years. These creatures reproduce quickly and have a high survival rate. It wouldn't take long for them to have more than a dozen rabbits. When he just held the rabbit in his hands, he already knew it was pregnant, so the exchange was so easy.

"Dad, Wang Xiangbei is really capable!" said the village chief's daughter Xinghua with emotion, "Whoever follows him can have meat every meal."

"You are attracted by such a sister-in-law." The village chief's daughter-in-law teased, "If you have any idea, let our father talk to you. Wang Xiangbei listens to him, maybe it will work out."

The village chief's daughter Xinghua didn't say anything, but she looked at her father several times.

At this time, the village chief had finished his meal, put the bowl on the table, looked at his daughter and said, "Forget about it. Wang Xiangbei can hunt, but he can't farm. He has returned the few plots of land that the village gave to his mother.

Can this hunting business last? Besides, his dog doesn't recognize anyone except him. You have forgotten that he went to the mountains some time ago and there was no news for several days.

This time he was saved by a kind person, but what about the future? Will he be able to meet kind people every time? He is a capable person, one of the best young people in our village.

But I don't agree to let him be my son-in-law. Daughter-in-law, don't mention this matter again. Xinghua is young and naive, but you should be sensible now."

"Yes, father-in-law." The village chief's daughter-in-law didn't expect that a joke would cause her father-in-law to scold her. She felt a little unhappy, but she couldn't show it on her face. She could only respond timidly.

He lowered his head to take the last bite of food, then raised his eyes and saw the rabbit in the cage. But then he thought now was not a good time to ask. Seeing his son also looking at the rabbit, he pushed him. When he saw his son looking at him, he nodded towards the rabbit.

The village chief's grandson immediately understood what his mother meant and asked, "Grandpa, when will we eat this rabbit?"

The village chief was slightly startled, then turned around and saw his daughter-in-law making eyes at his son. He still didn't understand something, but he had just told his daughter-in-law that she was not the one he wanted to marry.

If he continued to scold his son now, there would inevitably be gossip, so he could only pull his son's ear and scold him: "You are not good at anything you do every day, and you are never satisfied with what you eat. This rabbit is pregnant, it is a breeding rabbit, we are just waiting for it to give birth to more babies!

Stay away from it and don't think about it."

Although he said this to his son, the village chief's eyes were looking at everyone in the family when he said it.
