Chapter 240: Chapter 219 Might as Well Drag Him Home to Wait for Death Rong Yan answered before Qin Ye could: “Last night he delivered the wild boars to town and found a buyer already. The two wild boars weighed a total of 550 kilograms. Selling them as unprocessed pigs, the black market rate is sixty cents per kilo, so altogether they sold for three hundred and thirty yuan, and he handed me the money when he returned.” This stream of lies was delivered without batting an eyelid, even down to the specific amount of money. Qin Ye: ...? Upon hearing that such an amount of money had been made, Madam Rong was truly shocked, then immediately overjoyed. “Qin, you, you are really amazing. You made more than a year’s worth of salary in one night, heavens, that’s really a lot.” Qin Ye’s face turned a bit red, “I just happened to come across a den of wild boars.” Actually, he knew the biggest credit still went to his wife. Without her breaking the streak of bad luck... let alone two wild boars, he might not even be able to catch a rabbit. He could only boast the skill. “Mom, you’re actually complaining it’s too much, that’s really quite unique,” Rong Yan said with a laugh. Madam Rong gave her a light slap and glared, “I mean it’s too dangerous, how did you encounter two at once?” Who would complain about having too much meat and money? She was merely more concerned for her son-in-law. Just the thought of encountering two wild boars in the dark of night was enough to send shivers down her spine. “It’s not dangerous, night time is actually when they sleep. Plus, we were lucky last night, stumbled upon their den, so it was relatively convenient and we quickly killed them.” Despite Qin Ye’s explanation, Madam Rong was still very uneasy, “Qin, making money is important, but your health is even more so. If you come across two next time, better to leave quickly. It’s safer to stay away.” After all, money isn’t as important as life! Wild boars are not animals to be trifled with, once they are provoked, they can be lethal. “...Okay,” Qin Ye could only agree, but it was not possible for him not to act on it. The heavy responsibility of earning for the family couldn’t be on his wife’s shoulders. Rong Yan glanced at the two of them and then said, “Okay, Mom, this is a happy occasion, he knows what he’s doing, don’t fuss over him. Is breakfast ready? Your son-in-law must be hungry.” When Madam Rong heard her son-in-law was hungry, she dropped all other concerns. “It’s ready. You can eat after you’ve washed up, I’ll bring it over.” Qin Ye wanted to help, but thinking that he hadn’t washed his hands, he decided against it. Madam Rong was already heading to the kitchen. Rong Yan slowly followed, helping with the bowls and chopsticks. Madam Rong looked at her own daughter and couldn’t help but say, “Yanyan, you should treat Qin well in the future and be more caring.” Rong Yan nodded, “Hmm, I am caring. Look, I noticed he was hungry this morning.” Madam Rong: ... Why did that sound so off to her? Qin Ye and Rong Yan needed to go to the black market early, so they didn’t wait for anyone else and left after having breakfast. Quite a while after they had departed, those who had school and those who were idle also got up. The family gathered together. Seeing that the twins were present, Madam Rong refrained from mentioning the wild boar incident. It wasn’t until they had all left that she discussed the wild boars with the old man. Rong Wenming couldn’t help but raise his thumb in approval, “He’s really been wasted. Otherwise, he would have made a great soldier.” If he were younger, he definitely would have been drafted into a special unit. Now, he was indeed too old. When Madam Rong heard this, she rolled her eyes, “If your son-in-law really went to be a soldier, he might not be your son-in-law anymore, but someone else’s.” Rong Wenming nearly got dizzy from her words. “...Some fate is destined by heaven, otherwise, how could two people separated by tens of thousands of miles come together? This shows that no matter how far apart they are, as long as they are fated, they will become husband and wife.” Madam Rong didn’t believe that was true. There were plenty of people with fate but no destiny! However, she didn’t think it was a nice thing to say, so she held back and didn’t voice it. On their side, Qin Ye and Rong Yan reached the town and first went to their own courtyard. “I’ll release the two wild boars first. Oh right, since we’re here, let’s also put away the food that Tie Zhu ordered! I won’t come over tomorrow.” Tie Zhu’s business route was quite good, and he had a sharp mind for business. He had helped them sell several batches of food already. So far, she felt the cooperation was going well, hassle-free and worry-free, so she didn’t mind letting him continue the sales. Qin nodded, “Okay, then I’ll go check out the black market first.” “Alright! I’ll just stay at home.” Anyway, whatever was for sale in the black market, she basically had it here, nothing she needed to buy. Moreover, since she no longer needed to sell goods herself, she wasn’t interested in keeping up with market prices. “Well then, wife, I’m off.” Qin Ye rode his bicycle to the black market. After Rong Yan shut the door, she couldn’t help shaking her head. If it weren’t for Qin Ye’s insistence on unloading the wild boars here, she would have preferred to go directly to the black market to find a secluded corner and take them out, which would be more convenient and save time. However, Qin Ye was most afraid of inadvertently exposing her “space,” he simply wouldn’t allow it. While Qin Ye went to the black market, he directly approached the pork stall. The pork stall owner obviously recognized him. Seeing him arrive, he immediately beamed with a smile, “Brother Qin, you’ve come. Are you here today to sell or to buy meat?” Qin Ye said straight away, “To sell, two of them.” Upon hearing about the two, the pork stall owner’s breathing became a bit hurried, “These two, with someone else?” This must have been a collaborative hunt, right? Otherwise, how could one person manage? Qin Ye nodded, “Right, from last night. They’re still fresh. If you want them, I’ll bring them over now. If not... I’ll look for someone else.”
