Chapter 84: Chapter 84: It Doesn’t Make Sense

Hearing her triumphant childish voice, Gu Tingyun just laughed and nodded, "Okay."

Seeing this, Li Chunhua immediately pushed her son forward: "Xiaobao, you go with them too."

Sini said in a low voice, gnawing on her fingertip: "I want to go too."

Before Helian Qiao could shake her head in refusal, Chen Erbao jumped out and said: "I’m not taking a bunch of brats with me!"

Sanni and Erni also looked eager. After all, for rural children, flying a kite is a rare pleasure of childhood.

So, Ma Xiulian simply waved her hand grandly, saying: "Go fly kites for the whole morning."

The kids cheered instantly, "Kite-flying! Kite-flying!"

At noon that day, Chen Honghong, brimming with joy, brought home three pounds of pork, receiving envious glances from her colleague.

Everything is good in the city except for the lack of food supplies. What can you do with just a few ounces of meat ration a month?

At the doorstep, without even changing her shoes, Chen Honghong shouted into the house: "Mom, I brought back some meat from my mom’s."

Seeing her, Lin’s mother, who was cooking in the kitchen, greeted her with a bright smile: "Oh, such a large chunk of meat, must be around three pounds, right?"

That was enough for their family of five to have a hearty meal.

Chen Honghong deflected casually: "Hmm, a little over three pounds. It’s wild boar hunted by my mom."

Lin’s mother was astonished: "Your mother is so capable?"

Chen Honghong then couldn’t resist and began to brag: "Yes, she hunted it alone. That wild boar was about four or five hundred pounds, as sturdy as a hillock. Yet, it fell on the ground unconscious with a single blow of my mom’s hoe."

Lin’s mother was stunned and took a while before she exclaimed: "Your mother is indeed highly skilled!"

Chen Honghong then lowered her voice, and mysteriously said: "My mom said that the boar is the food sent by heaven for Guibao. Otherwise, how could she have knocked down that enormous boar so easily?"

Whatever her mother fed into her mind, she fed that same thing into her mother-in-law’s mind.

So, over these four years, Lin’s mother had almost come to believe that her daughter-in-law’s niece is a girl of great fortune, given her fulsome appearance.

She then said: "Then why don’t you bring Guibao back to play for a few days? Next time you go back, ride a bicycle to pick up Guibao and let him stay here for some time. Also, ask if they need anything from the city. You can buy it and take it to them."

She was extremely satisfied with her daughter-in-law in all respects.

She was beautiful and ambitious, and also gave birth to two big and healthy grandsons for her!

Though her mother’s house was in the countryside, her mother-in-law was always fair and honest in her dealings.

Chen Honghong said, looking helpless: "I don’t think my mom will agree. Guibao is her darling now. Last night, she wouldn’t even let me sleep with Guibao."

Lin’s mother then said: "That’s perfect, you can bring your mother-in-law here to stay for a few days."

Her mother-in-law was pleasant, diligent, and easy to get along with.

Chen Honghong nodded: "Sure, I will ask when I go back next time."

When Lin Xiuwen came home in the evening, he also asked: "Is your mother really that capable? Can she really beat a wild boar?"

Chen Honghong tirelessly promoted her mother’s heroic act: "Yes, absolutely. She is highly skilled. The team held a commendation meeting for her and even rewarded her with a whole pig’s head, ten pounds of pork, and a pig’s back leg."

Lin Xiuwen was befuddled, his mother-in-law seemed too strong!

After a pause, he took his wife’s hand and said affectionately: "Darling, I promise I will always be good to you and your mom!"
