Pig Killer

Chapter 144

Shen Hui'e stood up and said with a smile, "I'm leaving." Then she picked up Li Nu and put her on the ground.

"I'll take you there." Shen Yun'e hurriedly put down her hand and looked at her and said.

"No, no, it's not like I don't know the way." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her bright eyes and said, "Just sit still."

"Fourth Aunt, your face is so red, like a persimmon." Li Nu looked at her with his big, blinking eyes.

"Hehe..." Shen Hui'e laughed and pulled Li Nu out of Shen Yun'e's house.

"What are you laughing at, second sister?" Tie Feng heard his aunt's smile, put on a sweat shirt, carried a straw curtain and walked out of the blacksmith shop.

"It's okay. I've persuaded you." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at him sweating. The blacksmith shop felt like a steamer when she got close to it. "Don't worry."

"I know, Yun'e, this is stressful." Tie Feng said with gentle eyes.

"It's inevitable to be nervous when giving birth for the first time." Shen Hui'e looked at him with clear eyes and said, "Fortunately, she listened to my advice and everything became fine after I advised her. She didn't hide anything and said everything when she had something to say. She didn't keep it to herself anymore."

“Haha…” Tie Feng was stunned when he heard that, then he shook his head and laughed, “Second sister is right.”

"You go ahead and do your work! I'm leaving now." Shen Hui'e waved her hand.

"Sorry to trouble you, second sister." Tie Feng said embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry! I spoke nonsense and scared you." Shen Hui'e said apologetically.

"It's none of my second sister's business." Tie Feng scratched his head and said, "I work as a blacksmith all day, and it's hot in the shop. Yun'e can't come in, and she doesn't even have anyone to talk to. It's good for my second sister to talk to her."

Yun'e is so lucky to be so good at speaking, she should keep it up, Shen Hui'e thought to herself.

"The autumn harvest is coming soon, and it will be busy and there will be no one left." Tie Feng said worriedly.

"She can comfort herself." Shen Hui'e said, looking at him with her dark eyes.

Tie Feng looked at her in confusion when he heard that.

"You'll know later." Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile and said, "Go and get busy! I'm leaving." She turned around and left, pulling the cat slave.

Tie Feng blinked his confused eyes and watched them leave, then turned around and went home to ask the child's mother.

&*&

"Are you scared?" Shen Hui'e held Li Nu's hand and gently stroked the back of her hand.

"At the beginning, there was! We were talking fine, but Fourth Aunt suddenly started crying." Li Nu grabbed her hand nervously and said, "Then she wasn't afraid anymore." A smile appeared on her face.

"Why aren't you afraid anymore?" Shen Hui'e looked at her with interest, smiling.

"My mother and father are both butchers, and I haven't turned into a pig!" The raccoon slave looked at her with innocent eyes and said, "I am much whiter than a pig."

"Haha..." Shen Hui'e laughed heartily, "My daughter is right. She doesn't get tanned in the summer."

She has very good skin, the kind that never gets tanned. Of course, this is also the result of good protection and being fully armed.

"Our raccoon slave did a good job!" Shen Hui'e looked at her tenderly and said, "She was not frightened, but comforted your aunt instead."

Li Nu's face flushed like a red apple after being praised, "My mother said, don't panic when encountering problems."

"Right!" Shen Hui'e praised generously, "When encountering a problem, find a way to solve it. Crying is useless."

"Hmm!" The raccoon slave jumped and skipped as he walked, swinging her hand.

The mother and daughter chatted casually and then arrived home.

"Sold out." Li Nu said with a smile as he saw that there were few people in front of the stall.

Shen Hui'e raised her eyes to look at the sun in the sky and said, "It's almost time."

Da Chong raised his eyes and looked at them not far away and asked with a smile, "Mother, is Fourth Aunt okay?"

"It's okay! I just scared myself." Shen Hui'e walked over and said, "It's okay now."

"Phew! I'm glad you're okay. I was really scared." The big tiger let out a long breath, "Is Li Nu scared? I've never experienced anything like this before."

"I would like to praise Li Nu for doing a good job here." Shen Hui'e put her hand on the little girl's shoulder and told her what she saw.

"Wow... Li Nu is great!" Da Chong said to his sister with a smile.

"Brother!" Li Nu said uncomfortably with a red face.

"Be open and honest." Shen Hui'e patted her shoulder and said, "We are not doing anything bad, why should we feel guilty?"

The raccoon stood up straight with his chest and head held high, looking at them with a smile.

"Hey! That's the way it should be." Shen Hui'e looked at her with a smile and said, "Clean up the stall. What do you want to eat?"

"It's cool today, I want to eat wontons." Da Chong looked at her with his shiny black eyes and said, "Eat a bowl of hot wontons."

"Do you keep the pork?" Shen Hui'e asked him with raised eyebrows.

"Oh! I forgot." The big tiger clapped his hands.

"Let's wait until the autumn harvest to eat pork! By then, the castrated pigs will be almost fully grown." Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile and said, "Then the pork will taste good!"

"Is it okay? The pig has grown up." The big tiger looked at her with his eyes wide open.

"Almost. It's been nine months. It can grow to 150 to 160 kilograms." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her deep and penetrating eyes.

"How much?" Da Chong looked at her in disbelief and asked.

"Now they are over 100 kilograms. At least they can get some more weight during the end of the year and the New Year!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her clear and bright eyes, "Anyway, they will definitely be fatter than before the pigs were slaughtered."

"Wow... that's great." The big insect jumped up and down happily and said, "I won't have to worry about eating pork in the future."

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e nodded and smiled, "By then, our radishes and cabbages will be edible and can be used to make buns and dumplings."

The big insect slurped his saliva and said, "Then after the autumn harvest, we won't be busy in the fields anymore, so we can make delicious food."

"It's winter, so we have plenty of time. Let's think about what to eat." Shen Hui'e said to them with her eyes as gentle as jade.

"Great!" A brilliant smile appeared on Li Nu's face, brighter than the sun in the sky.

"The autumn harvest is coming soon, and I don't know if my uncle will come back?" Da Chong said softly.

&*&

"Big beast, raccoon slave." Shen Changsheng waved at them while swinging his whip.

"This is really something to behold." Shen Hui'e looked back at the man driving the carriage and said.

"Why are you all outside?" Shen Changsheng stopped the carriage and jumped off the shaft.

"I just came from fourth sister's place." Shen Hui'e looked at him with clear eyes.

"Uncle." Da Chong and Li Nu bowed.

"Be good!" Shen Changsheng said to them with gentle eyes.

"Second Aunt!" Shen Fang jumped down from the other side of the car and bowed.

"I'll take Shen Fang with me this time." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at the two of them with her bright dark eyes.

"Take this kid with you to run errands or something." Shen Changsheng said with a gentle look, "Take him out to see the world." Then he added, "It's time to let the half-grown boy know that the world is difficult. Don't be silly all day long. Look at how his father puts on a smiling face in front of others."

"Let's go in and talk." Shen Hui'e pointed to the yard and said, "Aren't you afraid of scaring the children? The adult world is very cruel. How many more years can they be happy?"

Shen Changsheng said as he walked, "They are not young anymore, they are already thirteen or fourteen. If they are happy now, they will not be happy in the future. They should know everything they should know."

"Sit down!" Shen Hui'e pointed at the bench and said, "Big Chong, go get some water."

"Hey!" Big Bug and Cat Slave ran into the kitchen.

Shen Changsheng lifted up his skirt and sat on the bench, looking at her across from him and said, "You just went to Fourth Sister's house, what happened to her?"

"I was just joking and scared her." Shen Hui'e told the details embarrassedly.

Shen Changsheng listened with astonishment on his face. "This girl is so shocked just because she's pregnant. How can you think like that? I think she's just too idle. She's so busy that she doesn't have time to think about it. You guys have spoiled her to death."

"Hey, hey, how can you say that as someone's brother!" Shen Hui'e was immediately unhappy when she heard it, "Do you think you have to go out with a big belly?"

"There's no such thing as getting pregnant with a big belly." Shen Changsheng looked at her with clear eyes and said, "When you were pregnant with Da Chong and Li Nu, you weren't so delicate."

"I'm asking for trouble by discussing this with you." Shen Hui'e looked at him unhappily and said, "Don't expect men to empathize with you in this life."

"I was wrong. Is it that serious for a woman to give birth? Isn't it always like this?" Shen Changsheng looked at her without quite understanding.

"Giving birth is like stepping into the gates of hell. Shouldn't a woman be well taken care of?" Shen Hui'e looked at him unhappily and said, "This wolf pack even has male wolves that know how to take care of the female and her cubs!"

"Brother-in-law treats Fourth Sister very well!" Shen Changsheng looked at her with his distinct black and white eyes and said, "If we scold Fourth Sister a little, Brother-in-law will treat her better." He looked directly at her and said, "Do you understand? It's like a father-in-law loves his son-in-law, just to make him take good care of his daughter."

Shen Hui'e looked at him in astonishment, and said with a smile, "Then there's no need to belittle your own sister!"

"I'm just kidding! Yun'e won't take it seriously. Her brother-in-law is still protecting her!" Shen Changsheng said with a smile, "You! They are a happy couple! Let's not get involved."

Shen Hui'e pointed at herself and pouted, "It's my fault now."

"How could it be!" Shen Changsheng straightened his back and said immediately, "We have the conditions, and my brother-in-law loves my fourth sister, I am so happy." He changed the subject abruptly, "Second sister, don't you want to know how this trip to Hezhong Prefecture went?"

"If you're in the mood to chat with me, I'll know it's good." Shen Hui'e looked at him gently and said.

"Very good!" Shen Changsheng said happily like a child, "Comparing the new plow and the old plow, our plow is really good. Whether it is pulled by an ox or a person, it is far better than the old plow."

"And they compared them again." Shen Hui'e said in surprise.
