Chapter 6: In-laws Jiang Family

Chapter 6: In-laws Jiang Family
When Yang Mingzhi arrived at Jiangjia Village, the sky had already darkened completely.

He came to his brother-in-law Jiang's door and knocked, but the person who opened the door was not Jiang He, but Jiang He's father Jiang Cheng.

"Mingzhi! Why are you here?"

Jiang Cheng is nearly fifty years old and his hair is all white.

"Uncle Jiang, my father killed two big wild boars in the mountains. I would like to ask Uncle Jiang to find some people to help bring them down the mountain." Yang Mingzhi said.

"Big wild boar!" Jiang Cheng was even more surprised. Although there were many hunters in Jiangjia Village, they rarely caught large prey.

Prey like wild boars are only encountered a few times a year.

"Well, two big wild boars and two small wild boars!" Yang Mingzhi said.

At this time, several more people from the Jiang family came out, "Dad, who's here!"

"It's Mingzhi! Mingzhi, come in and speak first!" Jiang Cheng said.

The Jiang family is similar to the Yang family, with the whole family living together and not splitting up.

Jiang Cheng has four sons. Jiang He is the youngest. He is eighteen years old this year, one year older than Yang Mingzhi.

After entering the Jiang family, Yang Mingzhi briefly recounted the story of Yang Zhengshan hunting wild boars. Everyone in the Jiang family was extremely surprised after hearing it.

In fact, the Jiang family lives a better life than the Yang family. Not only do they have fields, but they can also go into the mountains to hunt. Even if they can only hunt some small prey, they can often see meat.

If you can hunt small animals like foxes and minks, you can make a fortune.

The furs of foxes and minks are very valuable. If it is a red fox or a white fox, a piece of fur can be sold for dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver.

Jiang Cheng is an experienced old hunter, and the four sons of the Jiang family are also hunters. They often go into the mountains to hunt and often get some unexpected gains.

Therefore, the Jiang family lives a much better life than the Yang family.

After Jiang Cheng finished listening to Yang Mingzhi's story, his cloudy eyes immediately lit up.

"Is my father-in-law's injury healed?"

The two families are in-laws and have a close relationship. Jiang Cheng naturally knows that Yang Zhengshan used to be a warrior, and he also knows about the hidden injuries on Yang Zhengshan's body.

"Okay!" Yang Mingzhi grinned.

"Okay~~" Jiang Cheng was overjoyed, and immediately instructed the eldest brother of the Jiang family: "Boss, go to your third uncle's house and tell him to prepare to go into the mountains early tomorrow morning!"

"Old Four, ask your wife to go back to her parents' home tomorrow morning, and ask Mingcheng to drive the ox cart over here."

The Jiang family had extensive experience in transporting large prey from the mountains, so Yang Mingzhi didn't need to say much, as Jiang Cheng had arranged everything.

The next day, just after dawn, Jiang Cheng led seven or eight young men into the mountains.

They were more familiar with the mountain environment and found Yang Zhengshan before noon.

"Father-in-law!"

From a distance, Jiang Cheng shouted enthusiastically.

A warrior, this is a warrior.

Although there are many people practicing martial arts in Anning County, only a few of them can truly become martial artists.

There is not a single warrior in Jiangjia Village. In Yangjia Village, apart from Yang Zhengshan, only the clan leader Yang Zhengxiang is a warrior. This shows how rare the number of warriors is.

Having a warrior as a relative is definitely a good thing for the Jiang family.

"Brother Jiang, thank you for your help!" Yang Zhengshan said calmly when he saw a large group of men.

In fact, he was quite happy in his heart, but his original personality was that of a relatively quiet person.

This is related to the hidden injury of the original body. Now that the hidden injury has healed, Yang Zhengshan feels that the personality of the original body can be changed, but this personality needs to be changed slowly and cannot be done all at once.

"father!"

This was not shouted by Yang Mingzhi, but by Jiang He.

Well, a very energetic young man.

Jiang Cheng looked at the wild boar next to him and said with a click of the tongue: "Amazing! A bullet went through its throat. It turns out that warriors are not comparable to ordinary people."

If these hunters want to hunt wild boars, they can only rely on traps. Even bows and arrows are not effective. The wild boar's fur is very thick, and unless a strong bow is used or the arrow hits the vital part, it can only cause minor injuries to the wild boar.

Hunters like them would never be able to shoot someone through the throat like this.

"Get started!"

Jiang Cheng waved his hand, and the man behind him immediately took a rope to tie up the two big wild boars, and then carried them down the mountain.

Although Yang Zhengshan hadn't slept all night, he was still in good spirits because of the spiritual spring water.

The men in the mountain village are very strong, and it is not difficult for them to carry a wild boar weighing more than 300 kilograms.

But the speed was definitely not as fast as without the burden. When they returned to Jiangjia Village, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

"father!"

"Dad, you are not hurt!"

As soon as I returned to the Jiang family, Yang Mingcheng and Yang Yunyan came to greet me.

Yang Zhengshan was stunned when he looked at his eldest daughter. Actually, his two adopted daughters were both good-looking, and they all looked like their mother. Their mother had bright eyes and white teeth. Although the two adopted daughters were not great beauties, they were also very good-looking.

"I'm fine!" Yang Zhengshan waved his hands. Yang Yunyan handed him a towel and brought him water, which made Yang Zhengshan feel a little embarrassed.

This girl came too cheaply, and he really couldn't get used to it.

"Father-in-law, the wild boar has been loaded into the car!" Jiang He came over and said.

Yang Zhengshan did not stay any longer. He simply expressed his gratitude, left the two little wild boars behind, and then left the Jiang family with his two sons.

The two little wild boars weighed nearly 100 kilograms in total, which was considered a reward for the Jiang family's help.

Jiang He did not refuse. This was the rule in Jiangjia Village. Those who went into the mountains to help had to be rewarded, otherwise no one would be willing to waste their efforts.

If it was just his own family, he could help for free, but this time his third brother's family was also helping, so he had to accept the reward.

Returning to the Yang family, there are bound to be some surprises.

Wang and Li were both delighted when they looked at the two big wild boars.

After knowing that Yang Zhengshan's injury had healed, Wang's mouth grinned from ear to ear.

Yang Yunxue's youngest daughter looked at Yang Zhengshan with sparkling eyes. The admiration from his youngest daughter made Yang Zhengshan feel full of accomplishment.

"Grandpa is so awesome!"

"Big wild boar, big wild boar!"

The two older grandchildren cheered.

Not only Yang Zhengshan's own family, but even the neighbors were alarmed.

"Uncle Zhengshan, did you catch this?"

"Is Uncle Zhengshan feeling better?"

Even in the middle of the night, many people came to watch the two big wild boars.

There are no hunters in Yangjia Village, and there are not many prey in the mountains behind Yangjia Village, so almost no one hunts in the mountains.

Yang Zhengshan hunted two big wild boars this time, which is definitely something worth talking about in Yangjia Village.

In addition, with Yang Zhengshan's recovery, Yangjia Village has one more warrior, which is also a good thing for the Yang family.

It was lively until midnight, when the neighbors left.

After not sleeping for two days and one night, Yang Zhengshan felt a little tired. He fell asleep as soon as he lay on the kang and touched the pillow.

The next morning, Yang Zhengshan and Yang Mingcheng drove a ox cart to the county town.

The two big wild boars attracted a lot of attention as soon as they entered the market, and soon a middle-aged man in a green gown came to the ox cart.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.

The man was wearing a green gown, had a long beard, and had a wealthy face. He must be the son of a wealthy family.

The reason why they are called rich kids rather than wealthy kids is because the Darong Dynasty has strict regulations on the people's clothing.

Civilian clothes are allowed to be made of silk, gauze, satin and cloth, and the colors must avoid black, purple, green, willow yellow, turmeric and bright yellow. Ochre, cyan and blue can be used.

However, merchants were treated the same as prostitutes and were only allowed to use silk and cloth. If a family had one person engaged in business, the whole family was not allowed to use clothes made of silk and gauze, the finest fabrics, and were not allowed to wear mink furs in the cold winter.

The man in front of me is either a businessman or a country gentleman.

"How much are these two wild boars for?"

"Thirty taels!" said Yang Zhengshan.

He didn't think of leaving some wild boar meat because it had a strange smell and would be unpalatable if not cooked properly.

Simply put, he just didn't believe in Wang's cooking skills. Eating wild boar meat was worse than buying domesticated pork, and domesticated pork was cheaper than wild boar meat.

"Okay, I want them all, please send them back for me!"

The man waved his hand very generously, which stunned Yang Zhengshan who was waiting to bargain.

I met a rich man!
He didn't even bargain. I should have asked for more.

However, since the price had already been set, Yang Zhengshan had no reason to go back on his word and simply ordered Yang Mingcheng to drive the ox cart and follow the man out of the market.

When he followed the man to the destination, Yang Zhengshan realized that the person he met was not a local tyrant, but the steward of the county magistrate's house, because they came to the backyard of the county government office.

The seventh-rank official in the prime minister's house and the steward of the county magistrate's house are also so wealthy. It seems that the county magistrate is very rich.

The manager did not make things difficult for Yang Zhengshan and paid the money very readily. He also said that if there were any large prey in the future, they could be delivered directly to him.

Yang Zhengshan agreed, but whether it happened or not is another matter.

He is not a professional hunter, and luck played a big role in his ability to kill two big wild boars this time.

And he didn't plan to be a hunter. He was a warrior and there were many ways to make money. There was no need to be a hunter.

After getting the silver, Yang Zhengshan went back to the market to make some purchases.

Pork, pork bones, cloth, cotton, fragrant meat buns, etc.

Winter is coming soon and we need to buy some cotton clothes at home.
