Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao Arrives

Upon hearing this woman’s words, Zhu Xiuxiu’s eyelids couldn’t help but twitch.

A... wild boar?

She unconsciously stopped in her tracks, waiting for the woman and the village chief to approach.

"Honestly, Yanchen’s mother, I can’t help you either! Wild boars are ferocious, and there are no hunters in our village. You want me to ask the young and strong men of the village to help catch it? That’s really not feasible! If I were you, I’d listen to your in-laws and figure out a way to move!"

The village chief was impatient; this daughter-in-law of the Zhou Family was truly troublesome. The Zhou Family had deliberately assigned her this dilapidated house at the foot of White Cloud Mountain—wasn’t it a thinly veiled attempt to drive her and her son out of the village? It would be one thing if he didn’t help her today, but if he did, he feared the Zhou Family would never let the matter rest.

"Move? Where could we possibly move to? Our roots are here. Our Dalang is on the Battlefield, defending our country. He’ll return eventually. If we leave the village, where will he find us when he comes back?"

The woman started crying as she spoke.

The village chief sighed and advised, "Yanchen’s mother, we don’t even know when Yanchen’s father will return! You might as well move out of the village. Just let me know where you go. When Yanchen’s father returns, I’ll tell him where to find you!"

"If we move, then the army pay my father arranges for people to bring back from the Battlefield—it won’t reach my mother, will it? Grandpa Village Chief! When the time comes, can you ensure that every bit of the money my father sends back is handed over to my mother and me, without a single cent missing?"

Zhou Yanchen’s voice suddenly rang out, and a hint of embarrassment crossed the village chief’s face.

The money Yanchen’s father had people bring back was always pocketed by Old Madam Zhou. Basically, only after Yanchen and his mother raised a fuss would the Zho us reluctantly part with any of it. As for whether they gave it all, the village chief couldn’t say.

"Sigh! Yanchen! Who receives your father’s money is your family’s affair! I’m just a humble village chief; I can’t make decisions for you. Your mother told me a wild boar came down from the mountain yesterday and even reached your doorstep. She wants me to ask the young and strong men of the village to help catch it, but I really can’t do that. That wild boar is ferocious; no one is willing to risk their life. This is for your own good; that’s why I’m telling you to move!"

With that, the village chief turned to leave. What rotten luck, he thought, being dragged by this woman under the scorching midday sun just to look at her house. She expects him to find people to catch a wild boar? In this day and age, who would expend effort without any reward?

"Village Chief! I beg you, please help my son and me! If you help us, we will be grateful for your kindness for the rest of our lives!"

Seeing the village chief about to leave, Yanchen’s mother quickly blocked his path, tears streaming down her face once again.

The village chief forcefully shook off her hand. "Let go, Yanchen’s mother! Don’t be pulling and tugging at me in broad daylight. I’m warning you, if my wife sees this, she’ll surely misunderstand. Besides, look, there are strangers watching! You may not care about your reputation, but I certainly care about mine!"

The village chief, quite incensed, kept trying to sling mud at Yanchen’s mother.

Yanchen’s mother, being a refined and reasonable woman, naturally valued her reputation. Hearing the village chief’s words, her face instantly paled.

Her hand loosened unconsciously. Suddenly, a loud noise erupted from not far off. The sound was somewhat deafening. Everyone looked up, bewildered, their expressions changing drastically.

Speak of the devil—a large wild boar was barreling towards them at the speed of an eight-hundred-meter sprint.
