"Grandma, there are too many people digging here. I want to go further into the mountains."
"Going further in, it's deep in the mountains. There are wild boars there. If you encounter a wild boar, you'll lose your life. Yuan Chun, don't risk your life for a little meat."
Grandma Feng had already seen through her eldest granddaughter's thoughts.
She had been keeping a close eye on her eldest granddaughter ever since she left home today.
Yuan Chun glanced at Ding Chunli not far away and lowered her voice, "Grandma, I just want to improve the family's meals. Look at my sister-in-law, she's almost five months pregnant, but her belly is so small. The baby will definitely be malnourished. Grandma, you don't want to see her give birth to a skinny great-grandson, do you?"
Grandma Feng was silent for a moment, still worried about her eldest granddaughter taking the risk. "I can't let you risk your life. In our village, women don't have big bellies when they're pregnant, and their babies are born looking like kittens, but they still survive."
"Grandma, please let me go, I want to go."
Unable to persuade her otherwise, Yuan Chun pleaded and begged, driving Grandma Feng crazy. Finally, she relented and let her go, but added, "I'll go with you, otherwise, you can't go."
Although having a burden was inconvenient, it was better than not being allowed to go at all.
And so, Yuan Chun led Grandma Feng into the deep mountains.
Not long after, Yuan Chun encountered a large rooster. She shushed Grandma Feng, then quietly walked behind the rooster and pounced... pinning it to the ground.
007 laughed, "Host, you're being too fake. That rooster was completely immobilized by your energy. It's only because Grandma Feng was too nervous that she didn't notice."
"So what if she did notice? Even if my grandma is incredibly imaginative, she wouldn't think I have the ability to imprison prey. She'd just think I'm incredibly lucky."
Yuan Chun was right.
After witnessing her eldest granddaughter effortlessly catch three rabbits and five pheasants, Grandma Feng exclaimed that her granddaughter was incredibly lucky, definitely a daughter of God.
Otherwise, why would the small prey, upon seeing her eldest granddaughter, not run away but remain motionless while being caught by her?
Surely the rabbits and pheasants her granddaughter encountered weren't all fools?
That evening, as darkness fell, the grandmother and granddaughter returned home laden with their catch.
The Feng family, seeing the two baskets overflowing with game, stared at Yuan Chun in astonishment, as if she were a monster.
"Yuan Chun, how did you catch so much game? Take your second brother with you tomorrow; I won't go chopping wood!" Feng Guoan's hands trembled with excitement.
If the five prey his eldest sister brought back at noon were due to good luck, then these two baskets… it wasn't luck, it was skill.
They never expected his eldest sister to be such a skilled hunter.
Even better than the hunters in the village.
Feng Guoping pulled his younger brother aside and squeezed in front of his older sister, "Yuanchun, me too! I'll go with you. I'm strong, I can carry more."
"Alright, stop bothering Yuanchun. We'll talk about tomorrow later. Let's go eat first." After calming down, Feng Dasheng pulled his two sons aside, picked up a basket, and headed to the kitchen.
So much game couldn't be left lying around in the yard; it would be troublesome if someone saw it.
"Yes, yes, let's eat first. Everyone's been tired all day. Let's eat our fill before discussing tomorrow." Qiu Guihua said, picking up another basket and entering the kitchen. She carefully covered both baskets of game with wild vegetables before leading her two sisters-in-law to set the table.
Half an hour later, after finishing their meal, none of the Feng family members left; a dozen pairs of eyes, big and small, were fixed on Yuanchun.
