Chapter 493: Family Status
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Everyone in the village liked the Spirit Treasure Rat. They would give many small things to it to eat.
When the lamb saw this, it was very jealous and felt that the villagers no longer doted on it.
Hence, it decided to cause a huge commotion.
No one knew how the lamb did it.
How these wild animals came to be at Old man Wang’s house immediately became an unsolved mystery.
Old man Wang was especially happy. He distributed three to four wild boars to the village on the spot.
Village Chief Hu did not hide anything for himself. He distributed the meat to each family.
It was not much, but it was considered a token of appreciation.
Now that every family was living well, they could at least eat their fill and prepare enough New Year goods for the new year.
There was no longer a need to distribute anything to the entire village like in the past. Back then, many people in the village would starve to death if they didn’t get any extra food.
Now, they were only envious, but they would not be thick-skinned enough to ask for more.
It was already very good that the other party was willing to give it to them.
As for the rest of the meat, they would be preserved and made into jerky.
The people in the village came to help. The men brought their bone cleavers to Old man Wang’s house to help cut the meat. The fur that could still be used were also cleaned and packed up.
The women helped to marinate the meat.
All of them were good at cooking. Some of them even went to collect the folded pine and cypress branches in the village to make smoked meat.
Everyone worked together and quickly dealt with all the game.
It saved the Wang Family a lot of trouble.
The lamb had become a hero of the Wang Family. Liu Shi even specially made a lamb meal for it to consolidate its status in the Wang Family.
This made the lamb overjoyed.
As it walked around the village, the little lamb’s tail kept wagging.
As for the Spirit Treasure Rat?
It didn’t understand the actions of its Big Boss recently.
It felt a little sick.
When Little Ah Yu saw the lamb working so hard, she praised it.
“Little lamb, you’re very good. Our family won’t have to buy meat for a long time again!”
The lamb looked up. “Baa!”
However, compared to the little lamb’s high spirits, the Wang Family’s boys were a little unhappy.
They gradually realized that everyone in the family, from the adults to the sheep, seemed to be very useful.
Except for them.
Other than eating, they seemed to have no other use.
They felt a sense of danger. A deep sense of crisis.
“We have to do well for the upcoming county level imperial exam and pass!” Wang Wulang clenched his fists and said, “Otherwise, we really won’t have any status in this family!”
Wang Erlang said, “This year’s examination is scheduled for February 12th. Coincidentally, we can wait until we’re done with Big Brother’s marriage before preparing for the exam. Borrowing some luck from the happy occasion, perhaps the few of us can pass.”
Wang Sanlang said, “That’s not necessarily the case. I heard that the examiners who came up with the questions this year are from Hundred Flowers County. They’re different from what we usually learn.”
“Who cares? We’ll cross the bridge when we come to it. For now, we have to do our best and take as many test papers as we can. No matter what, we can’t quit halfway!” Wang Silang reminded everyone. “There are still five days before the New Year. This time, we have to be fully prepared. First, we have to train up our stamina. Don’t faint before the exam is over. That will delay our efforts.”
Only Wang Liulang was not very nervous. He knew that he would definitely not be able to pass.
Qingmu Academy and Yang Family Private School taught different things. It would be a miracle if he could pass.
On the seventh day of the first month, Old Madam Wang and the others returned.
They returned with two carriages and two new servants, causing a wave of discussion in Hu Family Village..
