“That’s right. Lin Laosan’s family keeps saying that their house will cultivate the next master scholar, but look at them now. They are a group of cowards!” A group of women who were friends with Liu Dongmei started cursing angrily.
Then again, how could they not be angry?
The entire village was helping to look for the wild beast. Li Cuihua’s family, which had four sons, four daughters-in-law, and four grandsons, were all hiding at home.
However, when the beast was killed and the game was about to be distributed, Li Cuihua would be there to demand a portion. Her skin was really thick.
When Li Cuihua heard them, she immediately became embarrassed. However, she also fired back, “It’s not like I’m asking you to go find the wild beast. If you want, you can hide at home too. If our family wants to do that, it’s none of your business!”
The few women were so furious that they didn’t know what to say.
What kind of twisted logic was this?
The wild beasts had come to the village. If everyone decided to hide at home, wouldn’t the beast just go around eating everyone?
Li Cuihua’s family could hide at home because the rest of the village had gone to defend the village. It was why they could hide at home in peace.
If there was justice, the wild beasts would find their way to Lin Laosan’s home first.
Liu Dongmei was embarrassed for her third sister-in-law. She had to turn away from her friends. How could Li Cuihua even say these things?
Suddenly, a child ran over. He shouted loudly, “Lin Yuelan, that jinx, has killed a big tiger. She dragged the tiger down from the mountain…”
When the passersby heard this, they immediately stopped him in surprise and asked, “Da Mao ‘Er, what did you say? Who killed a big tiger?”
“It’s Lin Yuelan, the jinx!” Da Mao ‘Er was about to reach his youth. He was one year older than Er Guo Zi, but he was tall and thin. He was one of the kids who kicked Lin Yuelan to death.
As soon as Da Mao ‘Er said that, there was a clatter. This was the sound of Lin Laosan’s courtyard door opening.
Then, Li Cuihua ran out excitedly and asked, “Da Mao ‘Er, is what you said true? That Damn Jinx beat up a big tiger and hauled it down the mountain?”
Da Mao ‘Er nodded. “Of course, it’s true. The cat is this big.” Da Mao ‘Er used his arms to indicate the size, “According to my dad, the tiger is estimated to weigh 500 to 600 catties.”
When Li Cuihua heard this, she left and said excitedly, “Ol One, go and wake up your father. Tell him that our family is going to fight that big tiger!”
Lin Daniu was a cunning and shrewd person in the Lin family.
When he heard his mother’s words, he immediately understood what she meant. “Okay, mother!”
The few women, who had not left, sneered.
One of the women, who was the same age as Li Cuihua, spoke in a disdainful manner, “Cuihua, who are you kidding? Da Mao ‘Er has already said that the tiger is dead. I’m sure that’s why you have your eyes set on it. You’re going to fight a girl and not a tiger, aren’t you?”
Li Cuihua raised her head and gave that woman a disdainful look. She snorted coldly and said, “Hmph. Why should I fight that bitch? I’m her grandmother. Everything she has, including the big tiger, belongs to me!”
