Chapter 129 - 126: The Class-Based Enemy
——————
The Xie Family was a large household; when she had just gotten married, there were only the newlywed couple, along with her parents-in-law and two nephews, which felt manageable.
But after the return of the eldest sibling’s family, followed by Fifth’s family with their children, Zhang Shan Ni suddenly realized the sheer number of people in her family!
With more people in the house, there were more hands for household chores, so Zhang Shan Ni simply told her parents-in-law that she wanted to stockpile meat for the winter before the harvest.
With many teenagers in the house all growing rapidly, meat was consumed at an incredibly fast rate.
Xie Tiesheng saw the eager look on his daughter-in-law from his third son’s marriage and thought of his grandsons; even knowing that it wasn’t ideal, he still nodded his consent without a word.
Most importantly, Zhang Shan Ni was even able to hunt wild boars, and in the Qingshan Mountain, wild animals were generally fair game for her, barring encounters with wolf packs.
Zhou Xiuhua wanted to say something but could not overcome Zhang Shan Ni’s determination to go.
Without Zhang Shan Ni’s assistance, Xu Xiaofen had a heavier workload, but compared with the savory taste of meat in her mouth and seeing the children visibly gaining weight, she also gritted her teeth and accepted the burden.
Fortunately, Zhang Shan Ni was not blind to the circumstances; she would go hunt in the mountains only in the morning and still participate in the labor in the afternoon. Otherwise, the nearly twenty acres of fields would completely depend on two people, which would truly be exhausting.
