Second Option

When Xiaoyue said that she had caught a wild boar, he knew it would be quite big, but he did not expect it to be that big.

A wild boar weighing more than 500 pounds was worth at least 6 to 7 taels of silver according to market price.

It was probably true that the heavens had given it to her out of pity. Otherwise, who would have such good luck to pick up such a big wild boar for free.

“Is it that heavy? I... had no idea.” Lin Xiaoyue looked at Uncle Wang and said embarrassedly.

“Absolutely!” Uncle Wang was sure.

After thinking for a while, he looked at Lin Xiaoyue again.

“What are you going to do about it?”

Lin Xiaoyue pretended to be deep in thought.

“It is too big. If it were to be sold, only Ruyi Restaurant in town would be able to buy it. If you agree, I’ll go to the village chief’s house later to borrow the ox-cart. We can go with you to Ruyi Restaurant tomorrow.”

A touch of gratitude flashed across Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes.

“This is too troublesome. Do you have any other way to deal with it?” She asked. The truth was, she wanted Uncle Wang to tell him what she already had in mind.

“We can also just sell it ourselves. There are close to 100 households in Daishi Village. Each family could buy a bit of it.” He preferred the first option.

Although there were many people in the village, there were few who were willing to pay for meat. If it was sold cheaply, it would be better to sell it in town.

“Let’s do that. Life in the village isn’t easy. I’ll sell it at a cheaper price so that everyone can get a taste of meat,” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.

Uncle Wang was surprised.

“Ruyi Restaurant will probably buy it for 17 to 18 cents a pound!” Uncle Wang reminded her.

“Then I’ll sell the fatty meat for 18 cents a pound and the lean meat for 13 cents a pound. I went to the market today and saw that they were selling fatty pork for 21 cents a pound and lean meat for 16 cents a pound. I should be able to sell it for 3 cents cheaper.”

“Girl…” Uncle Wang felt that Lin Xiaoyue was a little too generous.

“It’s okay.” Lin Xiaoyue looked at Uncle Wang with a smile.

“Our family rarely interacts with the villagers. This is also an opportunity to thank everyone for their help. Our family has no one to rely on, we will need their care in the future.”

Uncle Wang was stunned.

He seemed to have thought of something and looked at Lin Xiaoyue with admiration.

“Okay! If you trust me, I will arrange this for you!” He said immediately.

“Of course I trust you. Thank you!” Lin Xiaoyue’s face lit up. She knew that Uncle Wang understood, so she quickly thanked him.

While they were talking, Wang Shuanzi came with a torch.

When he saw such a large wild boar, he was shocked.

“Leave the torch and go to the village chief’s house. Ask for Uncle Gengtian and Lishun. Also, ask the village chief to get someone to announce that the Liu family is selling pork. The fatty meat costs 18 cents a pound, the lean meat costs 13 cents a pound. If they want to buy it, go to Aunt Liu.”

Li Gengtian and Li Lishun were the village chief’s eldest son and grandson respectively. Li Lishun was around the same age as their Shuanzi, so the two of them had a pretty good relationship.

This wild boar weighed more than 500 pounds. He was a laborer and his son was also quite strong. They could have carried it back themselves. However, since Xiaoyue had the intention of befriending the villagers, he took the opportunity to contact the village chief on her behalf.

If they were protected by the village chief, the Lin family wouldn’t dare to bully them anymore.

Wang Shuanzi was a little surprised when he heard his father’s words. But his father was not a man of many words, so he did not ask further. He handed the torch to Lin Xiaoyue and went down the mountain while the moonlight shone.
