Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home
Chapter 1943

Chapter 1943: Returning to the City Chapter 1943: Returning to the City Editor: Henyee Translations More than ten individuals returned from their excursion, laden not only with the deer they had captured but also with yesterday’s harvest of gastrodia elata and ganoderma lucidum.

Along the journey, they also managed to casually hunt a few wild rabbits and pheasants, returning with a bounty of game.

The journey had been considerable, justifying the acquisition of such prey.

Despite widespread envy, others could only resign themselves to this reality.

By noon, the returning party reached the village where they had been staying.

Deer hunting in the forest was a rare feat, even for the most seasoned hunters who hesitated to venture too deeply into its depths.

The return of Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan, and their companions with such a remarkable haul left the entire village in awe!

Almost the entirety of the village flocked to the Land Officer’s residence to witness the spectacle.

Excited children dashed around, exclaiming, “Look at the big deer!

Look at the big deer!” They eagerly squeezed in, their envy palpable.

One of the village’s landlords even inquired if they were willing to sell the deer.

However, selling was out of the question.

The effort to acquire them had been considerable, and there were only ten deer to share among them.

Only those of notable stature could claim a portion, leaving the rest disappointed.

The landlord was eager to purchase a deer by any means possible, but faced with their refusal, could only reluctantly abandon the idea.

Ordinarily, a landlord might resort to raising the price or employing threats, but Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan, and their companions seemed formidable and not easily swayed.

Hence, the landlord dared not provoke them.

In a gesture of gratitude, Qiao Xuan and the others gifted a pheasant and a wild rabbit to the Land Officer’s family, sharing a modest meal before departing for Anze Province.

Although they had already settled their accommodations with the Land Officer’s family, the added gifts brought joy to their hosts, who bid them farewell with smiles.

As night fell, Qiao Xuan and company returned to the state office.

After freshening up and changing out of their travel-worn attire, Qiao Xuan went to check on her son.

Children often seek reassurance from their mothers, particularly in the darkness of night.

The little girl’s muffled cries for “Mom” prompted relief and happiness among Nanny and the others when Qiao Xuan arrived.

The little guy was so happy that he screamed and threw himself at Qiao Xuan, almost falling off the bed.

The nanny, Caiyun, and the others eagerly reached out to embrace him.

The little one showed no fear, only giggles.

Qiao Xuan chuckled, scooping the child into her arms and peppering his face with kisses.

“How dare you!

My sweetie, do you miss me?” The little girl giggled and snuggled closer to Qiao Xuan, her laughter melting Qiao Xuan’s heart.

As Shao Yunduan approached, he beheld the tender scene of mother and daughter embracing and couldn’t help but smile, his eyes soft with affection.

The successful hunt brought joy to all.

Servants from the east courtyard gathered excitedly, chatting and pointing as they marveled at the sight of the wild deer.

Although they couldn’t feast on it, the novelty alone was worth the spectacle!

The comfort of the lavish bed and soft pillows ensured everyone enjoyed a restful night’s sleep.

The following day, Qiao Xuan made the decision to divide the spoils.

She and Shao Yunduan retained three deer, two pheasants, two wild rabbits, and two wild ducks for themselves.

Meanwhile, Zheng Sangge and Wu Guan divided four deer, along with eight pheasants, wild rabbits, and wild ducks among them.

Ah-Ye and the others received one deer, one pheasant, one wild rabbit, and one wild duck each, with the remainder distributed among Hang Xingshan, Sun Bai, and Sun Qian.
