“What is everyone quarreling about? Why are you snacking when it’s not yet time to eat?” Gu Yunshen interrupted Zhang Xiaohui before she could finish her sentence.

When Gu Yunshen heard the commotion over there, he knew that Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing would bully Gu Qingyao, so he went over to take a look.

As the only able-bodied male in the family, Gu Yunshen spoke with authority. Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing did not dare say anything after being reprimanded by Gu Yunshen.

However, their eyes brightened when they saw the game that Gu Qingyao had brought back!

“Pheasant, and a rabbit!” Gu Ruoqing was surprised and delighted. She had come home to discover the red braised pork, and also a heap of pork ribs which had not yet been cooked. Now, she saw two pheasants and a plump rabbit. There was so much meat!

It was more meat than they normally ate in a year!

Gu Yunshen was also stunned when he saw the things that Gu Qingyao had brought back!

“Yao Yao, where are these things from? Why is there so much?”

Gu Qingyao put down the red braised pork before replying. “I found the wild herbs and the mushrooms myself. I caught one of the pheasants, and Brother Beihan gave me the rest.”

“I ran into him on my way home and he gave me a pheasant and a rabbit. I gave him some wild herbs, about two kilograms of mushrooms, as well as ten pheasant eggs.”

Gu Yunshen nodded and did not say anything.

Their family was on good terms with Mo Beihan’s family. Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan had grown up together and were good friends.

Whenever Mo Beihan came back to visit his family, he always brought something for Yao Yao. When his own nephews came back, they would always give something to the Mo family. This had been their practice for many years.
