chapter 43

Chapter 43: 43 Person hitting will have to pay compensation.

With all those wild fruits they’ve eaten, I’m afraid they might not have room for lunch. No worries, if she doesn’t eat the cooked food, she can just eat it later in the evening.

“Hey, this Chuan, how could he be so rude?” Liu Laoshi’s facial expression showed some dissatisfaction, “Even by way of seniority, he should at least call me Uncle Liu, he doesn’t even acknowledge me.”

Xiao Yishan’s tall and sturdy body stepped out, his voice was calm, “I apologize to all of you, Chuan is upset because he was beaten up. He’s still young, don’t take it to heart.” He didn’t mention who beat him.

“He had a fight with Zhao Shugen this morning, and Chuan wasn’t hurt much, so I guess he must have had another fight with Shi Cai which made his condition worse.” Aunt Wang glanced at the room where Chuan was sleeping, “I don’t know what’s wrong with Chuan, he never used to fight before, he wasn’t a troublemaker. But today he somehow got into two fights. Now everyone in the village is talking about him. Yishan, you need to control your third brother, otherwise he will become more rebellious, beyond control, and may cause trouble.”

Xiao Yishan raised his eyebrows. He didn’t explain that his third brother wasn’t injured by Shi Cai, but he himself.

Aunt Zhang who came along disagreed, “Yishan, don’t listen to your Aunt Wang, you can’t just blame Chuan. It was Zhao Shugen who was speaking ill of your wife, that’s why Chuan lost his temper with him. And that Shi Cai was also unkind, he humiliated your wife right in front of you. I was there when Zhao Shugen was fighting with Chuan. Shugen’s other brother, Shuhai, joined the fight, the two of them ganged up on your one brother, they’re really bullies. They both deserved to be beaten. I don’t know who smashed Shuhai’s head, now he has a hole in his head. It’s quite serious. He went to Doctor Sun to get it bandaged, and now he is lying in bed crying. As for Shi Cai, I don’t know how badly he was hurt. Yishan, you need to be prepared. The Shi Family won’t take this lying down, even if Shi Cai isn’t seriously injured. As for the Zhao Family…”

Others who came along glanced at the Xiao family’s residences, and shook their heads. Someone said, “The way your place is run-down… you probably can’t afford to pay for the medical expenses of the Zhao family…”

Xiao Yishan’s face became grave, “I already know about the situation, if there is nothing else, you all can…”

“Ah, we got busy talking and I forgot about the real reason we came here.” Aunt Wang looked at the wild game in the corner of the yard, “Yishan, everyone saw that you hunted and brought back some game. My old man wanted some, so he sent me here to buy a wild pheasant…”

Su Qingyue couldn’t hear or tell what the villagers were saying. When she saw them picking up the game on the ground, weighing it in their hands and pinching the meat here and there, she knew these people were here to buy game.

Second brother had caught two rabbits, five pheasants, and a roe deer this time. Judging by the size, the deer should weigh about eighty jin, which is pretty large.

The pheasants each weigh two or three jin, and the rabbits about five or six jin each.

“This rabbit is really fat, just right for me to have with wine, let me weigh it I’ll take one.” Uncle Liu picked up a wild rabbit, “Yishan, will you give me it for cheaper as we’re living in the same village?”

“Oh please,” Aunt Zhang said, “You’re still trying to take advantage here when this family is having a hard time.. When buying game from Yishan, the prices are the same as in town, sometimes even one cent cheaper, saving a trip to
