Chapter 30

sive, Rong Zhaonan picked a wild boar and, along with mountain chickens and hares, quickly and efficiently slaughtered and skinned them. He carried the boar into the cave.The remaining pigs were left..."The flowers smiled along, too. 'Right, rewards! I remember the team had some extra fabric coupons left over. Oh yes, and there are still some county-issued food and oil coupons... our village cadres rarely go into town for business. They'll expire if we just keep them.'"

The old secretary nodded: “These rewards. I’ll discuss them with the other cadres in the team!”

Ning Yuan, upon hearing this, was overjoyed and her eyes lit up: "Thank you, Lao Zhibishu, thank you, Manhua Jie."

When she heard both Lao Zhibishu and Manhua had changed her address from "Ning Zhiqing" to "Xiaoning," she knew they considered her a true villager and friend.

Although the villagers didn't need ration tickets for food or oil, they did need cloth ration tickets. Besides, the household grain supply barely filled their stomachs.

Those ration coupons for grain and oil in those counties, to put it simply, were subsidies the village provided for her food.

She's really in need of tickets right now!

Ning Yuan was overjoyed.

......

Once the message got out, the whole village erupted in excitement.

Ning Yuan also received twenty-two jin of grain tickets, twelve zhang of cloth tickets, and five jin of oil tickets, even a jin of snack tickets. She was so happy.

With these, it will be much more convenient to buy things in the city when the time comes.

She carefully put away the ticket and set off up the mountain.

Hua Zi found his older brother Hei Zi and, with a group of young and strong laborers from the village, followed Ning Yuan up the mountain. They carried the wild boars down one by one.

Looking at the wild boars, all bearing fatal wounds, they gasped but didn't probe why the dilapidated old trap was so deadly.

A group of people worked feverishly to skin and gut the wild boar, cleaning it thoroughly and dividing the meat. Every household in the village could enjoy some pork.

People usually don't have much wealth. Many villagers, seeing Ning Yuan, expressed their gratitude.

A group of young educated youths at the point also received a few kilograms. Many people looked embarrassed when they saw Ning Yuan.

After all, they just drove people out of the Young Pioneers team and now they're dividing up other people's meat.

However, Ning Yuan didn't mind. Anyway, she wasn't planning to keep in touch with those people from the educated youth team.

Looking at Ning Yuan and the villagers chatting and laughing together, Huang Xueming's fat black face was full of displeasure: "She's just lucky, what's there to be proud of!"

Tang Zhenzhen snorted coldly. That's right, Ning Yuan got lucky, picking up four wild boars with that bad guy. It's a pity she wasn't trampled or bitten to death by them.

Huang Xuehong's eyes were red as he earnestly said, "And everything is collective. The village squad even wants to reward her with food stamps, cloth coupons, and oil coupons!"

Tang Zhenzhen's heart was filled with anger. She turned her head and suddenly saw a thin, gaunt woman on the side.

She came to her senses, suddenly let out a sneer, and turned to the thin woman who had just received the meat: "Aunt Wang San, I have something to tell you."

Wang San Yi listened to her whisper what she had said, her thin face fell, and she slapped her thigh: "You're right!"

Then, she immediately walked up to Manhua, who was registering the villagers receiving meat, grabbed her arm and shouted—

"I heard that you guys gave her a lot of ration tickets, even though she didn't get assigned to the countryside. You even gave her all the food and oil tickets from your previous units!"

Manhua looked at Wang Sanyi, her brows furrowed: "This is a reward for Ning Zhiqing. The whole team agreed to it. Without Xiaoning, you wouldn't have been able to eat wild pork today"

Wang San's aunt stuck her waist and sneered sarcastically: "What do you mean they can't eat meat without her group I've heard all about it. This wild boar fell into the trap itself. Most of the traps on the mountain were made by my father before. If you want to give it, give it to me!"

Ning Yuan stood on the sidelines, stunned. She had seen people with thick skin before, but she had never seen anyone as brazen as this.

What, this actually became Wang San's aunt's credit!

Not only was she dumbfounded, but also the villagers lining up to collect meat were stunned. Is this even possible

Old Zhishu frowned: "Your father was indeed the village's old hunter, but he died so many years ago, and those traps are old and broken..."

"No matter how old or broken they are, those traps were made by my father!" Aunt Wang San, who was known throughout the village for her fiery temper, cut off Lao Zhishu's words directly.

She pointed at Ning Yuan's nose without any politeness: "If it wasn't for my father's trap, you would be dead in the mountains with no one to bury you. I saved your life, so you should be grateful! You shouldn't even be begging me, hand over the ticket!"

Aunt Wang San is a ruthless character who takes advantage of others. If the branches of fruit trees from her neighbor's yard overhang into hers, she claims half the harvest as her own and threatens to cut down the trees if they don't comply.

Ning Yuan scanned Tang Zhenzhen, who was gloating on the side, with no expression on her face. She knew it was her doing.

She gave Wang San's aunt a cold look. "Fine, I can give it to you."

Wang San's third aunt's triangular eyes lit up immediately: "This is more like it..."

"But you must also lure the other wild boars up the mountain tonight and into your father's traps. Then I'll give you the ticket." Ning Yuan didn't hesitate to interrupt her.

Wang San Yi jumped up immediately upon hearing this: “What! Are you crazy! That’s so dangerous, why would I do that!”

"You know the danger, right Just me and my man risking our lives to lure the wild boar into the trap. So you'd better do it too." Ning Yuan sneered coldly.

As soon as she spoke, other villagers who disliked her all chimed in.

"That's right, that trap has been there for years and I haven't seen it catch a wild boar!"

“People risked their lives to lure wild boars into a trap and then kill them. Your Aunt Wang should do the same, so she can offset the other person’s merit!”

That's it!

Wang San Yi was speechless. She didn't know how to retort.

She sat down heavily on the ground and started beating her thighs and howling: "I can't argue with you. It's not fair that educated youth get to bully people just because they have culture!"

"Anyway, I don't care. The wild boar died in my father's trap, the reward is mine! You better take out your ticket or you won't be leaving today!!"

Ning Yuan turned away in disgust and was about to leave.

But when Wang Sanyi saw this, she suddenly rushed over and hugged her legs, shouting: "Give me back my ticket, don't even try to leave!"

It is said that there are dozens of pounds of grain tickets, and even rare cloth tickets. She won't let Ning Yuan go!

Ning Yuan's face was gloomy and unsightly as she looked at Wang Sanyi, who was clinging to her legs and even trying to pull down her pants.

She couldn't help but want to kick it.at Ning Yuan's face was wrong, and her stepfather was furious on the side, but it wasn't good for a man to go forward and pull.She quickly held Ning Yuan down: "Little Ning, don't worry, I'll come."Ha...
