Kapitel 12: Chapter 12 The Huge Shock

Then she was even happier, "Mom, this must weigh at least seven or eight jin."

Ma Xiulian was also extremely pleased, "Quickly put the rabbit in the basket, so no one sees it."

Although hunting was permitted in the mountains during this era, anything that appeared in the production team had to be considered public property.

After Chen Honghong placed the wild rabbit in the basket, she picked a few large leaves from the roadside to cover it.

Ma Xiulian looked around like a thief, lowered her voice and said, "Let's go, hurry home."

"Okay."

The mother and daughter quickened their pace and arrived home in just a few minutes.

The other members of the Chen family had already returned to their own rooms. Everyone went to bed early at this time.

After entering the kitchen, Chen Honghong opened the basket to see that the wild rabbit had been awakened at some point, lying still with its red eyes wide open.

This rabbit was nothing like the others they'd seen before, which would have taken off running at their approach.

She immediately frowned and asked, "Mom, is this rabbit stupid?"

Ma Xiulian casually waved her hand, "Who cares if it's stupid? As long as we can eat it!"

Chen Honghong nodded, "True."

After speaking, she saw her mother kiss her little niece's face and happily praised, "Our Guibao is terrific, she knew to bring a rabbit for grandmother to eat at such a young age."

Helian Qiao blinked her large eyes innocently: she hadn't done anything.

It was simply that the rabbit was too timid and, overcome by her Dragon's Prestige, it ran off in panic and crashed straight into Ma Xiulian's leg.

Chen Honghong looked at her mother with a baffled expression, "What does this have to do with Guibao?"

The wild rabbit had definitely ran into them of its own accord.

"You wouldn't understand."

Ma Xiulian didn't want to explain too much to her daughter, simply reminding her, "Just remember to treat your little niece well. She's got great fortune."

Although Chen Honghong didn't exactly believe the first part, she chuckled and reassured her mother, "Don't worry, I adore our Guibao."

At this moment, Helian Qiao yawned widely, she was sleepy.

Seeing this, Ma Xiulian cooed softly, "Guibao is tired, shall we drink some milk before going to sleep?"

Helian Qiao puckered her lips, indicating she was ready to drink!

So Ma Xiulian took her to Li Chunhua to nurse her, after which she carried her back to her own room to care for her.

The next morning, everyone in the Chen family was delighted by the appearance of a wild rabbit in the kitchen.

"Mom, where did this rabbit come from?"

With a calm expression on her face, Ma Xiulian replied, "It ran into me when we were on our way back home yesterday night."

The Chen family members widened their eyes in shock, "Such good things actually happen?!"

Usually, wild rabbits would run away at the sight of people on the mountain. It was hard for them to even get close to one.

Only Old Man Chen, who knew the truth about last night, ate his bread in silence, thinking to himself: It's only natural for the fairy granddaughter bestowed to him by the heavens to receive a wild rabbit. There's nothing so surprising about it.

As a witness, Chen Honghong testifies for her mother, "Yes, the rabbit really did ram straight into my mother's leg and knocked itself out."

Upon hearing this, the others look at Ma Xiulian with envy, "Mom, you're really lucky!"

A sense of pride and satisfaction couldn't help but show on Ma Xiulian's face, "That's because I was holding Guibao,"

The Chen family clearly didn't believe her, even Zhou Zhaodi scoffed, "Mom, even if you're partial to Wuni, you don't have to attribute everything good that happens to her."

She's clearly a little vixen!

Ma Xiulian ignored her, only saying, "Guibao is not called Wuni, her formal name is Chen Jiao, and her nickname is Qiaoqiao."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Chen family was taken aback. This name certainly sounded more fashionable than Wuni.

Kapitel 13: Chapter 13: What the Heck is Going On

Zhou Zhaodi sneered, "Why would anyone name a girl 'Qiaoqiao'? Only cheap names are easy to maintain."

"Why does only the little vixen from the Chen family have a unique name among the four daughters; Dani, Erni, Sanni, Sini?"

Ma Xiulian immediately pulled a face and retorted with confidence, "You're not the one raising her. Why are you babbling about it all day?"

Zhou Zhaodi immediately closed her mouth sheepishly.

Besides the elders, the couple from the oldest generation of the Chen family, were the main labor earners. Their second household earned the least.

Ma Xiulian turned her gaze to Zhao Mei, "My eldest daughter-in-law, after a while, you should slaughter the rabbit, clean it, cut half of it for your sister-in-law to take home for the kids."

Chen Honghong refused, "What are you giving it to me for? You should keep it for yourselves."

However, she couldn't defy her mother and ended up taking the halved rabbit meat, wrapped in large leaves, home.

With the remaining half of the rabbit, Ma Xiulian didn't cook it right away but salted it and hung it up, planning to cut a small piece for her third daughter-in-law to eat each day.

Within a couple of days, the team started harvesting rice.

After a spirited argument with the leader, Ma Xiulian managed to swap Li Chunhua's tasks with lighter ones.

"My third daughter-in-law, this year you go to the grain drying field and dry the grain. It will be easy for you to go home and breastfeed the baby."

This time, Zhou Zhaodi truly envied her, her eyes becoming red with jealousy, "Mom, you're so biased! When I gave birth to Dabao and Erbao, you never let me switch to lighter tasks!"

Every summer when it was rush harvesting time, sun-drying the grain was the most sought-after task.

Not only was it easy and light, but it also didn't require anyone to be exposed to the blazing sun. It was far easier than cutting or carrying grain.

Ma Xiulian glared at her and retorted rudely, "After giving birth, you were as strong as an ox. How could I argue for lighter work for you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhaodi subconsciously looked at the delicate Li Chunhua, then at her own robust arms and thighs, and instantly felt frustrated.

If she had known, she wouldn't have eaten so much back then!

Of course, she just thought about it. In reality, if she had to eat less meat in order to switch to lighter tasks, she absolutely wouldn't do it!

Contrarily, Li Chunhua cheerfully went to the grain drying field.

The other people at the grain yard understood that her baby was barely a month old, so it wouldn't be good for her to breastfeed under the sun. After stirring up the grains, they let her go back to breastfeed.

Every morning and afternoon, Ma Xiulian additionally provided her with a boiled egg!

It could be said that this was Li Chunhua's most comfortable and happy month in her twenty-some years.

Ma Xiulian was also pleased because, during the collective rest time, several female city-dwellers complimented her baby granddaughter in front of everyone from the production team.

"The little girl is so beautiful. I haven't seen a city girl who can compare."

"Well-raised too. White and plump, just like a dough ball. It's pleasing to the eyes."

"Mother Chen, can we visit your house in the evening to see little Qiaoqiao?"

Hearing this, one of the women asked, "Mother Jianguo, why don't you call your granddaughter Wuni?"

Ma Xiulian explained with a smile, "Her name is Chen Jiao, with the nickname Qiaoqiao. Li Zhiqing gave her the name."

"I thought the name sounded cultured. So it's a name given by Li Zhiqing."

"Mother Jianguo, when can you bring her out for us to see?"

Seeing that so many people wanted to meet her precious baby, Ma Xiulian smiled delightedly, "We'll wait until she gets a bit stronger. And anyways, it's too hot right now."

Old Madam Song couldn't stand her boasting and scornfully commented, "She's just a little girl. Being good-looking doesn't mean she can be used as food."

"What's wrong with being a girl?!"
