With the young men gone, sun hwa headed out to the team leader's home, where she called Dazhuang over to the house
she also stopped at the Wang family where she called over Wang Jinlong,
" you really killed this?" Jinlong asked staring at the spoils and then at sun hwa in disbelief
"You're quite brave" Dazhuang couldn't help laughing out loud
The fifth wife was indeed as graceful as the fifth son!
A true match made for each other
"It was a stroke of luck, else I wouldn't have made it back alive either" sun hwa showed her bandaged wounds then proceeded into the kitchen to fetch the cleaned knives for both men
"What do you intend to do with them?" Jinlong asked staring at both animals
Both animals could fetch up to 700 yuan or more, as they were quite huge
"I'll keep half and sell half" sun hwa replied and both men started with skinning both animals
Sun hwa couldn't do this things hence she watched from the side as both men handled the animals professionally, the animal fur could be used to make insoles for shoes, gloves, blankets or even jackets for warmth hence the fur couldn't be wasted and with the men's skills, the fur was cleanly harvested then they proceeded to butchering the animals
The innards were kept in a large basin while the meat was was shared in half
300 pounds of wild boar meat and 400 pounds of bear meat was given to sun hwa who took it all to the kitchen to clean
Once the two men were done dealing with the other half, Dazhuang packed it all up while Jinlong went out to fetch an ox cart
"We'll head to the county to sell it, you would make more profit compared to the state run restaurant" Jinlong commented while packing up everything
"Do I need to follow along?" sun hwa asked curiously, staring at both men as they loaded the ox cart
"You might want to get a few things at the department store,
there's a lot of options you can choose from" Jinlong added "it's more preferable to shop on market days, things are cheaper and there's a variety of options too " Dazhuang added
"I need to get a few clothes for this little guy, shoes and cotton padded jacket" sun hwa replied
"Isn't he the child from Baishan village, said to be the bad luck star" Jinlong raised a brow, the little boy frowned tightly as he glared at Jinlong
"He's just a little troublemaker" she couldn't help laughing at his infamous name "how did you find him?" Dazhuang asked softly, yet his eyes were firm and guarded. He really wasn't one to take chances and this child, he was wary of
"In the mountains, he has some wounds though I've treated them after his bath
I still want to take him to the county hospital" with that said, Sun hwa locked the kitchen after cleaning and storing the meat.
Several pounds of meat, enough to last through winter
"He has no family, are you sure you want to keep him?" Dazhuang asked seeing sun hwa effortlessly lift the young boy into the ox cart
"It's just me and this three rooms, having an extra mouth to feed is nothing"Sun hwa chuckled softly, patting the little one's yellow hair, he was so thin, one could easily see his bones peeking out of his skin
Both men exchanged glances, ultimately saying nothing as they then begun to pull the cart after sun hwa climbed in
There was no way in hell, she Jang Li hua, would walk for two hours to the county
The ride was smooth, safe for the villagers asking questions about her catch, at some point into the journey sun hwa found a comfortable spot then she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep
~
The county market bustled with activity
Jinlong and Dazhuang found a good spot to set sale for the wild meat while
sun hwa and the little one hopped off the cart
"How much should we sell per pound?" Dazhuang asked mentally calculating how many pounds of meat they had brought along
"4 yuan a pound seems fair" Jinlong voiced out "farm trained pork is sold at 3 yuan a pound, this wild boar is hard to kill, a mountain specialty,
One the fifth wife risked her life to kill selling at 4 yuan is already good enough" Jinlong added
"Selling at 3 yuan is already good enough, the buyers would compare to farm raised pork and we wouldn't be able to sell" Dazhuang tried to reason
"Whether or not we make sale, we'll sell at the fixed 4 yuan, those who know good stuffs would know something good when they see it, reducing the price is already losing profit" sun hwa explained lightly, she could understand Dazhuang's narrow mindedness,still she wanted to make the most from this sale
""4 yuan it is then, but if those restaurants come to purchase, I'll sell at 5 yuan" Jinlong grinned widely "isn't that stealing" Dazhuang frowned
"you're narrow minded brother Dazhuang, those restaurant makes the most profit and we'll only suffer losses, if we sell lesser
This isn't the usual farm raised pork! This wild boar was killed at the expense of the life of the fifth wife, selling lesser..... how then can we afford the medical bill for the fifth wife's treatment?" Jinlong reasoned to this sun hwa couldn't help giving him a thumbs up
"I'll take the little one to the hospital and also get a few things, I need on the way" sun hwa waved them and walked off with the child in tow, seeing they could manage on their own there was no need hanging around
Though she'd try to nudge Jinyi towards making her husband venture into business, since Jinlong seemed to be quite skilled in that aspect and adding it to his farm work would yield more savings at the end of the year
The hospital examination was quick, both the wounds on sun hwa and the little boy was treated quickly, after which a few drugs were prescribed and after paying 6 yuan she headed to a clothing factory not far away
"What do you want?" The factory worker in charge frowned on seeing a young girl and a child "this isn't your place to play, run along now, don't touch when you can't afford it" the young man spat disdainfully displeased with the appearance of both sun hwa and the child
"I want to buy clothes, I'm not randomly ogling" sun hwa's cold eyes made the factory worker tensed up "what do you want to buy? There's a lot of good selection" the factory worker quickly stepped out and begun to show sun hwa the clothes in stock
Sun hwa's eye drifted past the flashy colors, the factory worker held, from what she had seen so far
People here in the county tended to wear more of bright colors than dull ones and back in the village, it was a mix of light colors and dull ones, with more people going for the lighter and brighter colors
Sun hwa ran her hands through the densely packed clothes, only picking what she liked and leaving the odd colors to those who liked them
"Everyone prefers to pair this bright red and yellow with the big blue or pink scarf,
Your picking the lesser qualities" the factory worker couldn't help his snarky remarks but sun hwa said nothing
She wasn't buying for free hence, she had no intention exchanging words with the likes of him, thinking about the glaring combination he mentioned sun hwa's brows twitched
Though she was no fashion enthusiast compared to her bestfriend
But she was never a fashion disaster
