Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 338: You're quite particular about being slapped
The tiger cub is a lynx. The lynx bones are quite expensive in later generations. Someone offered 22 yuan for a full skeleton specimen as an ornament, but it was not sold. In addition, bracelets made of lynx bones are also very popular. A bracelet with 6000 bones can be sold for yuan.

Even if compared with the current ratio of 100:1, the leopard bones that Sun Jiye bought at 10 yuan per catty are not expensive. Just as he said, he did get a bargain.

Xu Ning mentioned the leopard deliberately just now, with the purpose of arousing Sun Jiye's curiosity. He and Xu He had inquired and found out that the purchase price of leopard bones was very cheap, about six yuan.

The price of the finished medicine is very high. One plate of pills can be sold for eight yuan! One pound of leopard bones can be made into three plates. Of course, there must be other medicinal materials in the pills. The expensive part is the formula.

Since Sun Jiye wanted to buy jackal meat, he should be interested in the scarce leopard bones, so Xu Ning followed Chang Danian's words and continued.

Sun Jiye glanced at the wall clock and asked anxiously, "So let's weigh it now?"

"Why are you in such a hurry, Uncle Sun? Now that you are here, you should have a meal before leaving."

Sun Jiye stood up and said, "No, there is something else going on at home, I have to go back quickly."

"Hey, Uncle Sun, you have so many people in your family, you guys won't be a big deal. Besides, didn't I fire two shots before we got on the mountain? You were not like me, you were quite reasonable. How about staying for lunch as my apology?"

Having said that, if Sun Jiye still wants to leave, Xu Ning will not stop him, but apart from money, there will definitely be no friendship between them in the future.

Sun Jiye weighed the pros and cons and decided that he was mainly afraid that Sun Lianfang would cause trouble. On the way here, she had been muttering about Ma Chunming, and she hated him so much whenever she mentioned him.

But then he thought about how Xu Ning had lowered the price for him, which was a favor, and he had made everything clear to him. If he didn't agree, it would seem like he was ungrateful.

Although the Xu family is not as wealthy as his family, they are definitely a wealthy family in Qing'an.

In the past, when people from Sandahe and Qing'an met, they would basically curse at each other or not talk much.

The reason, of course, was that Qing'an felt that Sandaohe had swept away their equipment for felling trees and transporting timber. When they were in the production team, the two gangs even organized a battle of a hundred people. Of course, it was not a war, but a logging competition. In the end, Qing'an won, but Sandaohe made sarcastic remarks, saying that the reason why Qing'an used a big saw to cut down trees quickly was mainly because he could not afford an oil saw!

The two sides almost came to blows, but were stopped by Zhang Deyu and the secretary of Sandaohe, otherwise there would definitely be casualties...

This is also the reason why Sun Jiye wants to stay. He heard from Sun Jishan that the driver of the second-in-command of the Municipal Bureau is called Xu Long, who may be Xu Ning's biological brother. If he stays for dinner, does it mean that the relationship between Qing'an and Sandaohe has eased?

Wouldn't his elder brother Sun Jishan be confronted by the second-in-command in the Municipal Bureau? Anyway, it is necessary to stay for dinner. No matter from which aspect, the Sun family of Sandaohe is the beneficiary.

"Okay! Then I won't be polite."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Just don't be polite..."

At this time, Sun Lianfang said with a sullen face: "Will Ma Chunming come back at noon?"

Wang Hu, who was sitting on the stool, turned his head to look at Xu Ning. Xu Ning pouted and said, "You're not coming back, what's the matter?"

"Where is he? I want to go find him!"

Sun Jiye said helplessly: "Lianfang, can you please stop messing around?"

"Uncle, I'm not kidding. I want to play with him!" Sun Lianfang said in a clear voice.

"What are you playing for? I have to make money, so I don't have time to play with you. If you want to play, ask Lian Sheng Lian Jun to play with you."

"Oh, uncle, I don't want to! I want to find Ma Chunming!"

Sun Jiye's head was buzzing from being tortured by his niece. He pretended to look at Xu Ning in embarrassment and said, "Erning, can you invite Ma Chunming back?"

In the outer room, Liu Lizhen and Han Fengjiao heard it very clearly and whispered to each other.

"Sister-in-law, is Ma Chunming Lei Zi?"

"Well, I don't know what happened between this girl and Lei Zi. I just heard the girl's movements, and they were exactly the same as Feng Er's. Eh... I thought this girl was pretty stable."

"I thought she was quite calm just now, why did she become so different now? Sister-in-law, do you think this girl is attracted to Lei Zi? Otherwise, why would she insist on playing with Lei Zi? They are both over 40 years old together, what can they play..."

"You can't be prepared! Hey, did you hear Er Ning come back and talk about what happened to Lei Zi on the mountain?"

"I think I heard about it, but it's been a month now and I've forgotten it for a long time."

"Oh my...what should I do?"

In the east room, Xu Ning raised his head and squinted at Sun Jiye. He felt that this old guy was trying to add fuel to the fire. He turned around and looked at Sun Lianfang's indignant expression.

"What do you want to do with him?"

Sun Lianfang gritted her teeth and said, "He was bullying me on the mountain, so I had to fight back! I've never been bullied in my life!"

"Hahaha, if I ask him to apologize to you, can you calm down?"

"Yes!" Sun Lianfang nodded crisply.

Sun Jiye said with a smile, "Ah, my niece has become bad because of her family's spoiling. Erning, don't take it to heart. When Ma Chunming comes back later, I can't ask him to apologize. It's not a big deal. It's not that serious."

Xu Ning narrowed his eyes and nodded, took a sip of tea and said, "Okay, then I'll go pick him up. Uncle Sun, lend me your car."

"Okay, the keys are left in the car, you can just drive away."

Xu Ning stood up and said to Chang Danian and Li Baoquan, "Uncle, brother-in-law, you two stay in the room and chat with my uncle Sun for a while. I will be back soon."

"Well, when you pass by the house, tell your sister Juan."

"Know!"

Just as Xu Ning was about to walk out, Sun Lianfang followed him on her feet. He turned around and frowned, "What do you mean?"

"I'll follow you."

Sun Jiye stood up and pulled her, saying, "Ma Chunming will be back soon, what are you going to do with him?"

"I'm going! I have to give him a couple of beatings when I see him. It's not easy to do it at home." Sun Lianfang pinched her throat and whispered the second half of the sentence into Sun Jiye's ear.

"Hey, don't cause trouble! We are here to do business..."

"Uncle, don't worry, I won't cause any trouble!"

Sun Jiye said in his heart, if you say this, something bad will definitely happen, how can I be at ease?

Seeing that he couldn't persuade his niece, he just said, "Erning, how about letting Lian Jun go with her third sister?"

Xu Ning looked at Sun Jiye and Sun Lianfang, nodded and said, "Okay, don't say you are from Sandaohe when you get there..."

He turned and walked out of the house, came to the outer room, said something to Liu Lizhen, and walked outside.

Sun Lianfang followed behind her, and seemed to be in a good mood. She raised her hand and greeted Liu Lizhen and Han Fengjiao: "Auntie and Second Auntie, I will be back soon. Why is my sister-in-law not at home?"

"Oh, okay, she went to see your sister-in-law."

Sun Lianfang didn't know who the eldest sister-in-law was, so she just grinned and waved her hand: "Okay!"

She and Sun Lianjun went out. Liu Lizhen and Han Fengjiao looked at each other, came up to the chopping board, and whispered a few words.

"This girl is quite adventurous...just like Feng'er." Han Fengjiao was a little hesitant.

Liu Lizhen gritted her teeth and said, "If Feng'er does this again, I'll smack her mouth!"

"That can't be possible, sister-in-law. Feng'er is quite opinionated. Besides, someone in the family was quite honest before." "She's honest? She only pretends to be honest in a few points! After everyone left, she started to act up!"

Inside the house, Sun Jiye watched the three people get into the car. When he saw Xu Ning driving away with ease, he turned around and smiled at Chang Danian.

"Brother, I'm sorry, my niece has been spoiled by my family."

Chang Danian smiled and waved his hands: "It's normal, my grandson is the same, has she found a husband yet?"

"What are you looking for? My eldest brother asked her yesterday. What did she say? She said we should chase her away... Oh my god, there's really nothing we can do."

Chang Danian said, "Is this the only daughter in your family?"

"It's not good..."

Then Sun Jiye told them about the family situation, and Chang Danian, Liu Lizhen and others in the inner and outer rooms understood a little. The mentality of the Sun family was just like Xu Laonian's. It was not easy to have a daughter, so they should love her in every way. How could they let her suffer?
"Hey, why do people at home call her the third sister? My eldest brother also had two daughters, but they died because of poor family conditions...

Before Lianfang was born, my eldest sister-in-law wanted to take her home and raise her herself, but my second sister-in-law refused to agree. Because of this, my second sister-in-law has always had a problem with my eldest brother and sister-in-law..."

This does not reveal family information, but is an explanation of why Sun Lianfang was spoiled.

Sure enough, Liu Lizhen and Han Fengjiao in the outer room nodded after hearing this: "That's exactly what happened. We only have one daughter in the family, so we have to compete to raise her."

On the way to 17lengchang, Sun Lianfang sat near the door, staring at the trees passing by with bright eyes. She clenched her fists as if she was thinking about something beautiful.

Sun Lianjun sat in the middle and chatted with Xu Ning, who was driving. "Brother Ning, strangling the leopard to death must have been quite difficult, right?"

"It wasn't a big deal. I just stayed in the house for ten days. How many brothers are there in your family?"

"Brother three, that makes sixteen cousins."

"Ah, your father is the village secretary?"

Sun Lianjun shook his head: "No, my father is in poor health and has nothing to do at home. The village is managed by my second uncle..."

"Where's your uncle?"

"He is our village accountant."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Then your uncle must be quite powerful."

"Yeah, he's pretty impressive! He's working at the Forestry Bureau in the city. He came back yesterday, arranged some things, and left today."

Sun Lianfang pulled the younger brother and said, "Why are you talking about this? What do you say when someone asks you something?"

"You're not afraid to talk about this. What's the harm in talking about it? Isn't this just chatting with Brother Ning?"

Sun Lianfang frowned and said, "You can only chat, nonsense! Why don't you get a bottle of soda for Brother Er Ning? Isn't it boring just to chat?"

"Ah, okay."

Xu Ning turned his head to look at Sun Lianfang and said with a smile: "I won't drink it. I will be grateful if I receive something from you."

"Well, just drink some, Brother Erning. If your name is not Ma Lianjiang, then his name is definitely not Ma Chunming. Can you tell me his name?"

Xu Ning was indifferent: "Ask them yourself when you get there. I'm telling you two, don't say you're from Sandaohe or that your last name is Sun when you get there. You've met my uncle today. If you ask other people, you'll definitely get scolded."

"I know. How can you still remember the arguments we had in the past? Why is Qing'an so unreasonable?"

Xu Ning said: "This is not a reasonable thing, understand? It's like something that originally belonged to me was taken away by you, how can I feel comfortable? You use my things to make a living, and I am still working hard..."

Sun Lianfang pouted and said, "That's not true. You are full of lies and what you said is not true!"

"Is that so? Go home and ask your uncle."

Sun Lianjun opened the soda and asked in surprise: "Brother Ning, do you know who my uncle is?"

"Haha, how could you not know that?"

Sun Lianfang asked: "Since you knew, why did you invite us to dinner?"

"You come here to buy things and you are my guests. You make money for me. It is only right that I should entertain you."

Sun Lianfang muttered softly: "You are quite particular."

The car drove into the yard of 17lengchang and stopped in front of the boss's shack.

After parking the car, Xu Ning opened the door and said, "You two stay in the car and don't move."

After saying that, he jumped out of the car and ran straight to the boss's shack.

"Brother Yang?"

Yang Jun was sitting on the kang drinking alone. He was startled when he heard the voice. When Xu Ning opened the cotton curtain and stepped into the room, Yang Jun immediately jumped up, clapped his hands and laughed, "Oh my god! My brother Xu is here! Haha, I said today was a good day."

Xu Ning looked at the pickles, two wine cups, and two pairs of chopsticks on the table and asked, "Why are you drinking at this time?"

"Oh, it's so uncomfortable! I went home yesterday and had a fight with my wife. Damn it, this woman lent all the money in the family to her younger brother to marry a wife. Do you think this money can be returned? Oh! The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel, and the more angry I get..."

When Xu Ning heard this, he did feel a little sorry for Yang Jun. Although this guy liked to show off, he was pretty good at doing things. It must have been a sin in his previous life that he was greedy for such a wife.

"Then why are you drinking alone? Why don't you call two people?"

Yang Jun rubbed his eyes, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and said, "Isn't this what Lei Zi and I drank together? He said he had diarrhea and went to the toilet. He should be back soon."

"..."

Outside, Guan Lei pulled up his pants and walked out of the toilet. Holding a cigarette in his mouth, he lowered his head to tie his waist rope and staggered towards the shack.

He had been living quite comfortably these days. After hunting bears and leopards, Xu Ning did the math for him and said that the money he would get from selling the bear gall and leopard skins would be enough to build a house, so it would be more than enough to save for his younger sister's dowry and even have some left over.

This relaxed him both physically and mentally. When the pressure was gone, he smiled more often. Others who saw him said that he was more energetic than before. One of his co-workers even wanted to introduce him to a girl, but he refused.

Because he thought that his conditions were not good enough to provide the other person with a stable home, so he certainly couldn't harm others...

He threw away the cigarette in his mouth, looked up at the car parked in front of him, frowned and muttered: "Didn't Lao Yang lend the car out? How come he returned it so soon?"

Inside the car, Sun Lianfang was stretching her neck to look at the snow on the ground. When a gust of wind blew into her neck, she quickly retracted her head, and then suddenly saw the back of the person she had been thinking about day and night.

She frowned and stretched her head out, shouting, "Ma Chunming!"

Guan Lei paused when he heard the noise. As he had just drunk some wine, his head felt heavy at the moment, so he looked back, then turned around and continued walking towards the shack.

Sun Lianfang suddenly opened the door and jumped out of the car, shouting through gritted teeth: "Ma Chunming! Stop right there!"

Guan Lei frowned and stopped, turning to look at Sun Lianfang who was running towards him, "Who are you yelling at?"

Originally, Sun Lianfang was a little unsure whether the other person was Ma Chunming, but she had always remembered his voice. When she heard these unfriendly words, she was immediately very sure that he was Ma Chunming, who made her hate him so much!
