Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Su Ning thought of the same thing. “Third Sister-in-law, you can take care of it. I will fetch the yams.”
“I am worried that I won’t be able to deal with them.” Qin Zhenzhen said, “Let me do it. I am stronger.”
“Don’t worry, if anyone comes, just shout for me to come.” “As long as I am here, I will not let anyone steal the wild boar.”
Su Ning nodded. “Then come home as soon as possible.”
Qin Zhenzhen grew increasingly concerned that people from nearby villages might venture onto this public mountain.
If they encountered individuals from their own village, they could simply explain that their Second Brother had set the trap.
However, if they came across outsiders, she wouldn’t be able to handle the situation as easily.
Qin Zhenzhen swiftly went to retrieve the yams, relieved that they weren’t too far away.
When Qin Zhenzhen carried the yams to the trap, two men from other villages came.
“Hurry up, the sound of wild boar is coming from the ditch.” “He must have fallen into the trap!”
“No matter who set up the trap, it must belong to us if we see it!”
“Of course, we are so lucky!”
“Hahaha, we got one wild boar instead of the rooster!”
Su Ning got nervous. “Third Sister-in-law, what should we do? They are two grown men!” Qin Zhenzhen consoled her. “I am here, you don’t have to be afraid.”
“I am not afraid.’
Observing Qin Zhenzhen’s confident demeanor, Su Ning felt a bit more reassured.
Indeed, Third Sister-in-law’s four brothers were not to be underestimated, and they might not dare to steal from them.
Soon, the two men arrived at the trap, appearing surprised to see Qin Zhenzhen and Su Ning.
One of the men reacted quickly and chuckled, “You two girls, do you find wild boars so captivating?”
“Aren’t you afraid that the wild boar will climb up and attack you?”
Su Ning snorted. “It can’t climb up!”
The man’s smile faded. “So you’re guarding the wild boar and hoping to claim a share? Sorry, we dug the trap, and even if you spotted the wild boar first, you won’t get a portion!”
Another man chimed in, “Wang Er, let’s not be stingy. We can offer them a few kilos of wild boar meat in return for helping us keep watch.”
Su Ning grew furious. “Stop spouting nonsense! It was our Second Brother who set the trap! Fifth Brother and I were assisting him!”
The two men exchanged a look between themselves.
Wang Er said, “Girl, don’t talk nonsense. It was us who set the trap!”
“The wild boars are ours!”
“My Second Brother set the trap! Many people in our village can testify that!” Su Ning was so anxious that she almost cried.
But Wang Er said unreasonably, “We set the trap, and we can turn to the villagers to prove that!”
As long as they gave some benefits to the villagers, there would definitely be someone who could testify for them.
Also, as long as they got the wild boar first, it did not matter if they had any witnesses.
Su Ning turned to Qin Zhenzhen worriedly. “Third Sister-in-law, what should we do if they want to rob us?”
Qin Zhenzhen fearlessly faced the two men, wearing a confident smile. “Your names aren’t inscribed on the trap. How did you dig it?”
Wang Er rolled his eyes. “Well, your names aren’t on it either!”
Qin Zhenzhen responded, “Exactly! This is a public mountain, shared by people from multiple villages.. Even if the trap isn’t labeled, does the wild boar automatically belong to whoever spots it first?”
