Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhou Xiaoli looked at Lai Jinniang and exclaimed in surprise.

Then, she smiled harmlessly and said, “Grandma, I remember that last year, when I went up the mountain with the younger cousins, we found bird’s nest. Second Uncle took it to the city and sold it for more than ten taels of silver! Don’t forget to count it in.”

When those people heard that it was more than ten taels of silver, they instantly looked at Lai Jinniang enviously.

“Ah, Mdm Lai, is what your eldest granddaughter said true? Your family found bird’s nest?”

“Then you have to take it out and we’ll split it equally.”

...

The villagers known for being lazy and greedy for small gains seemed to have entered heaven at this moment. All of them found Zhou Xiaoli pleasing to the eye and greedily wanted to share more things with others.

However, those families who had once found good things from the mountain now wondered if anyone else knew of their findings and if they could hide it for themselves. At the same time, they thought about coveting other people’s finds.

Lai Jinniang, who was ‘sold’ by Zhou Xiaoli, turned pale.

Lai Jinniang was anxious and kept denying it. “You, you, what nonsense are you talking about? There’s no bird’s nest. It’s not that easy to get something as precious as bird’s nest. We don’t have it, no!”

However, the more anxious she was to deny it, the more the people around her felt that something must be up. Some pouted in disdain.

“Why, Madam Lai, don’t tell me you don’t want to share it with everyone? You were most enthusiastic when we were talking about sharing the pork.”

“That’s right, that’s right. It can’t be that you can’t bear to part with your own things, right?”

At this moment, Lin Xiujuan snorted and said, “Aiyo, Mdm Bao, don’t just talk about Auntie Lai. Your family found a lot of good things from the mountain as well.”

“From what I know, your man set a trap on the mountain and caught a yellow wolf last winter. You have to know that yellow wolf fur is the most valuable in winter. Your family must have sold it for at least ten taels of silver too.”

Old Madam Bao’s face turned green. She regretted showing off in front of Mrs. Lin in the past!

However, it would be impossible for her to cough out this money now!

“This happened a year ago. The money has long been used up for my son, Wen, to pay school fees!” She immediately shouted.

None of them were willing, but the notorious lazy hooligans in the village who wanted to take advantage of her were unwilling to give up.

They immediately started arguing.

Most of the villagers in Boyu Village had been born and raised here for generations. Being so close to the huge mountain, many families had obtained good things in the mountain in the past.

As they quarreled, they started to expose each other’s finds. Even the things that the previous generations had obtained from the mountain were revealed.

In any case, they were willing to get money from others if they could but at the same time, they were unwilling to let their own family cough out any.

Looking at this farce, the village chief cut in at the right time. “Look, look, isn’t it ridiculous! Tell me, isn’t it ridiculous to want to split the resources in the mountains equally?! It’s simply nonsense!”

“The person who made this suggestion should be charged with inciting trouble and destroying the relationship between neighbors!”

The village chief had a certain reputation in the village. Now that the village chief was angry, those people shut up.

The village chief continued, “How shameful it is? That you all are already at an old age and yet, you’re not even as open-minded as a ten-year-old girl. You are all getting worse as you age!”

“Miss Zhou just told me that she was lucky to be able to pick up two wild boars. God took pity on her family and gave them a way out.”

“In order to thank the heavens, she generously offered to use the remaining half of the wild boar to treat everyone to a meal. I saw that the girl was kind-hearted and even said that she can take our share of the pork to treat everyone.”

“Hmph! From what I see now, forget it. It would be a waste to let some people eat it! This wild boar was picked up by Miss Zhou, so it belongs to Miss Zhou. Let’s see who dares to take it!”

They were just short of being criticized by the village chief individually. Bao Meifang and the other old women did not dare to say anything more about distributing the pork.

When the surrounding villagers heard that they could have had a free meal, they looked at Bao Meifang and the other women unkindly.

They started to criticize them in return.

The hooligans in the village did not manage to take advantage of the situation and even “lost” a free meal. And so, they immediately verbally attacked Old Madam Bao and the others.

They were hooligans to begin with. So their words were unpleasant and as they scolded, their emotions went up and they even wanted to hit someone to vent their anger.

After being criticized like this, Old Madam Bao and the others could not raise their heads and could only flee.

However, not long after they left, the rest of the villagers suddenly heard a few cries of surprise and screams.

Everyone looked over and saw a wonder!

It turned out that as they were running away, someone tripped over a rock which caused that person to pounce on the person in front. The person in front then pulled the person beside her.

Then, as they pushed and pulled, all of the ladies fell!

Coincidentally, they fell into the feces pit at the entrance of the village!

Because Bao Meifang and Lai Jinniang were at the front of the group, they were pressed into the feces pit by the ladies behind them.

The two of them struggled for a long time before standing up from within the pit. However, there were things hanging from their hair and faces. Hmm...

It was indescribable.

Moreover, Zhou Xiaoli deeply suspected that there was a very high chance that some of it may have entered their mouth...

Instantly, she did not feel like having dinner.

This turn of events happened too unexpectedly, and the surrounding people did not react in time.

In the end, someone could not help but laugh out loud. Only then did the rest of the crowd burst out laughing as well.

Bao Meifang and the others felt even more embarrassed at it. They were angry and embarrassed.

One by one, they hurriedly tried to crawl out. However, their bodies were covered in feces and it was very slippery. Moreover, the feces pit was deep. Not only did they not manage to crawl out, they became even more miserable when doing it!

“Ah!”

...

The few of them screamed in the feces pit.

“Help! Help! Come and pull us out!”

Bao Meifang tried to ask for help from the people around her. However, the people around her avoided them for being smelly. They covered their noses and hid far away. No one was willing to help.

Seeing Bao Meifang in such a miserable state, Lin Xiujuan felt relieved.

The Lu family and the Liu family were constantly at odds with each other. One of the reasons was this feces pit.

The Liu family had a piece of land at the entrance of the village and the Lu family dug a feces pit beside their land to make compost.

That was their territory and so, it was their freedom to do whatever they wanted.

However, what happened was that the Lu family members were very lazy. They dug a feces pit but did not take good care of it. They threw feces into the pit but did not cover it up with soil.

Moreover, they had dug a deep pit. Since it was right beside their land, they could easily fall into the pit if they were not careful.

More importantly, the Liu family had a young son. If they had brought him to the field, it would be very dangerous for him.

For this reason, Lin Xiujuan often talked to the Lu family about this. She told them to cover it with soil to make the compost properly. Otherwise, they can also surround it with a fence to make it safer.

...

However, not only did Bao Meifang not listen, she even said boastfully that this was her family’s feces pit. She could do whatever she wanted and no one else could interfere!
