Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 941: Heavy Snow

Wei Kaiyun and the others were sweating profusely but didn’t dare to stop. One reason was fear of catching a cold, the second was that it wasn’t safe on the mountain.

Han Xiangjun couldn’t laugh this time. "So many? If I had known earlier, just two would have been enough."

Old Yang watched as beads of sweat dripped from the young master’s brow. He felt it served him right; he’s the one who organized everything and now he’s complaining.

They weren’t fast; in over an hour, they had only descended a hundred meters. If it were uphill, they probably wouldn’t be able to move at all.

"When will they arrive?"

"Just keep working. Even if they don’t come, we can’t just leave these wild boars here, can we? Would you be willing?" Old Yang truly found Han Xiangjun too talkative.

Another hour passed before twelve people made their way up the mountain.

No excessive rests for everyone. One boar each was actually quite manageable.

By the time they descended the mountain, it was already dark. Everyone was extremely tired, but no one complained because it represented money and meat.

Old Yang drove away directly, while the rest dragged the wild boars to the pesticide factory. They exsanguinated them one by one, gathering two full buckets of blood.

Everyone’s cotton clothes were soaked through, sweat dripping from their hair. In the winter night, you could see steam rising from their heads.

Lu Tiezhu felt relieved only when he saw them return. "Oh, you’re back. Xiao Wei and Xiao Jiang told you all to go and eat."

"Master Lu, join us."

"I’ve eaten already, you all should hurry and eat. I’ll handle things here."

Chaoyang and Xiang Dong didn’t stand on ceremony, and joined the others returning home.

On the way, Wei Kaiyun regretted it. It would have been better to let Shuanzi and the others stay at the pesticide factory, fearing they might get sick.

"Let’s run back; the moment we sweat, it’ll be like carrying ice on our backs."

Thus, Wei Kaiyun followed the young men running, with Han Xiangjun by his side. Only Shang Zhenkun walked behind, as the old man had worn himself out today.

At home, Jiang Xinyu looked at them, startled by their intense exertion; even in winter, they were sweating so much.

"Xiao Qiang, prepare some hot water. When Master Shang gets back, he should soak in the tub first.

Jing Chu, prepare ginger soup; use two large pieces of ginger and two bags of brown sugar, and simmer a big pot of it. Everyone should drink a bowl."

"Stay in the main room to eat."

Zhao Xiaoqiang had just set things up when Shang Zhenkun arrived home.

"Master Shang, hot water is ready. You should soak in the bath, and Xiao Qiang will bring you the ginger sugar water later."

Shang Zhenkun nodded, took his change of clothes and entered the bathroom.

Zhao Xiaoqiang quickly prepared more hot water; Uncle Wei needed to soak too.

"Old Han, you go first. I’m in better shape than you, you definitely shouldn’t catch a cold."

"Alright, I’ll go first."

Jianbin, seeing Dad’s disheveled appearance, felt empathy and brought him ginger sugar water.

"Old Wei, you should change clothes in your room first."

Wei Kaiyun nodded and went straight into the room.

For the remaining people, Jiang Xinyu had no choice but to send Zhao Xiaoqiang to the village chief’s house to notify sending clothes for Chaoyang and Xiang Dong.

The remaining eleven young men had to stay longer at home since there weren’t enough cotton clothes or accommodations for them.

Dinner consisted of mixed grain buns, stir-fried pig lungs with pickled vegetables, and lots of chili. Eating the sour and spicy dish was exceptionally satisfying.

There was also eight-treasures porridge. If anyone wanted to sweeten it, there was a jar of sugar on the table.

The young men were famished and ate vigorously.

Qu Xiaoli and Li Yunqiang arrived to deliver coats to Chaoyang and Xiang Dong. Seeing their son unharmed, they felt complete relief.

Jiang Xinyu instructed Du Fengying and Zhang Qiu’e to make wontons, knowing Old Yang would return and need to eat.

At that moment, Han Xiangjun and Shang Zhenkun also emerged, feeling much better than before, and sat down to eat.

Wei Kaiyun didn’t come out because Shi Xian woke up when he was changing clothes.

Jiang Xinyu prepared hot water for him, telling him to bathe.

Wei Kaiyun timed it, and after bathing, dried his hair and donned the bearskin coat his wife readied, which was brought from Russia. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Also equipped with a matching hat, when he emerged, Han Xiangjun was envious.

"Xiao Wei, where’d you get that coat?"

"My wife brought it back from Russia."

"I need to find a way to get one like that. It’s nice."

"Alright, Old Yang and the others should have arrived. Let’s hurry over."

Shuanzi and the others finished eating. Instead of staying, they left with the two back to the factory.

"Sister Du, you should head back now. Here’s some brown sugar and ginger; simmer ginger sugar water for them to drink before bed."

"Alright, I’ll head back then."

Du Fengying took two large pieces of ginger along with the brown sugar and left.

Jing Chu and Zhang Qiu’e were tidying the place together. She had already sent her brother to bathe.

Chaoyang and Xiang Dong also went home, which made the house peaceful.

Shi Jing and Jianbin wanted to tag along but were refused. It was uniquely cold outside today, and they couldn’t afford them catching a cold as it would be troublesome.

Wei Kaiyun and the others reached the pesticide factory. Old Yang had not yet arrived.

"Xiao Wei, what do we do with these wild boars?"

"Keep four for the house; the remaining ten will be sold. Of the four, one goes to the village since Old Yang and they moved here. Another one will be given away, and the remaining three will be for the family. Chaoyang and Xiang Dong get thirty pounds of meat each, while Shuanzi and the others get twenty pounds each. As for you, you’ll leave with a hundred pounds of sausage, but you have to dice the meat yourself since I won’t let my wife tire herself out."

Han Xiangjun chuckled. Xiao Wei genuinely cared for his wife. If he had a wife like that, he thought he might treat her even better. "Each boar weighs around five hundred pounds, right?"

"Yes, the smallest one is still five hundred pounds."

"That’s a lot of money, how do we split it?"

"Shuanzi and the others get twenty yuan each. Changyang, Xiang Dong, and Guodong get two hundred each. The rest of it will be split among the four of us."

"Haha, that’s good news. It’s a decent share. But do we have scales here?"

"Just estimate. It’s Old Yang’s friend, not likely to be far off. The guy is sensible and won’t do anything too unreasonable."

Lu Tiezhu had been boiling water since they left, letting them wash up one by one and change into dry clothes. This wasn’t a joke.

Thus, Shuanzi and the others went in groups of three to bathe, placing their wet cotton clothes on the kang bed, which would surely dry by tomorrow.

Wei Kaiyun and the two of them waited directly in the workshop, which was warm. The stove was sealed off at night.

After waiting for about half an hour, they finally heard the sound of a truck.

Wei Kaiyun went directly to open the door, letting them drive the truck inside.

It was the same person as last time. In the end, each pig evaluated at six hundred and fifty pounds, totaling six thousand five hundred pounds, at six cents per pound.

That’s a considerable amount of money. Shuanzi and the others, who hadn’t bathed yet, came over to load the truck. The truck bed was loaded full.
