But, despite the dirty look, he had two wild roosters in his hands, both alive!

"Mom, Mom! Fifth Sister-in-law! Look at the wild roosters I have caught!" Shao Xiaoqi smiled brightly, as he raised the wild roosters in his hands, which looked very beautiful with the colorful feathers.

Qiao Xuan, who had been done with dowries-sorting, was in the middle of chit chatting with Ms. Fang whilst babysitting some children!

Qiao Xuan's eyes brightened, when she saw that. She praised him constantly with surprise on her face. "Wow, you are so excellent, Qi. You have caught the wild roosters alive!"

Qiao Xuan was speaking out of her heart, since it was not something she had seen before.

Shao Xiaoqi wasn't so familiar with his fifth Sister-in-law, so he gave a small smile as he was praised and said in a bashful voice, "…I did not catch it exactly, it was the trap that did the job."

Qiao Xuan continued with her praise and smiled. "That is equally excellent!"

Ms. Fang was also glad. She said with a bright smile, "That is true! Qi loves traveling into the mountains and often brings us some wild animals! He is so good at it! Oh man, we don't have to kill any roosters tonight for dinner, when we already have these two! We can spare the two roosters at home! Good, this is really good!"

Qiao Xuan echoed her words. She again praised Shao Xiaoqi and asked him about how exactly he hunted the animals. They were soon in a heated conversation with each other.

As Qiao Xuan was listening to the tale so carefully, Ms. Fang felt so pleased sitting next to them.

Ms. Fang was truly happy. The events did make her feel pleased, for real.

Qiao Xuan was a newly-wedded bride, and was supposed to have a family reunion dinner with all the three children of the Old Master in the family. Qiao Xuan was going to meet the second and the third families for dinner this very night.

It was also a welcome-dinner for the newly-wedding bride. So there would be a lot of food served.

When Ms. Fang thought of how she would have had to kill roosters for the second and the third section of the family, she felt her heart aching, since they were all very greedy people.

Ms. Fang had originally planned to serve two pieces of meat, one fried fish and one huge bowl of unserved chicken for the reunion dinner tonight, which had been the leftovers from the wedding the day before, when the banquets were filled with dishes.

However, the sisters-in-law of the second and the third section of the family had stolen all of those remainders away, before she could realize!

But for the wedding that took place the day before, she would have had a row with them.

As she thought that she had to kill the well-fed roosters to serve them this very night, she felt even more distressed.

Unfortunately, it was a dinner to show her care to the newly-wedded daughter-in-law, so she was going to kill the roosters, no matter how much that would hurt her heart!

However, her youngest son caught two wild roosters today, instead!

These two wild roosters looked very well-fed, which would save her from killing any more roosters this evening. That was why Ms. Fang felt extremely pleased.

After they exchanged a few words, Ms. Fang believed that it was time to get water boiled so as to kill the wild roosters in the kitchen, seeing that the dinner time was approaching.

Qiao Xuan offered to help, but Ms. Fang turned her down. She spoke a few nice words about her and Qiao Xuan dropped the offer, eventually.

Qiao Xuan returned to her room and felt bored, thinking that she should not go on like this any more. She should pick up some skills about making the soles or anything, so she could kill the time instead of feeling so bored.

She was just thinking randomly, when she saw Shao Taotao entering. Shao Taotao was startled at the sight of her, and then she started to mumble in panic, with her head lowered. "Fifth Sister-in-law…"

"What is wrong, Taotao?" Qiao Xuan walked forward and asked concernedly. "Why are your eyes so red? Did you cry? What happened?"

She had to ask what happened to her sister-in-law, who was in such a mess.

Hearing what she asked, Shao Taotao felt even worse. She almost burst out in tears. "Fifth Sister-in-law, the silk-flower you gave me was robbed away by Second Sister and Fourth Sister… I am sorry, Fifth Sister-in-law, I didn't mean… to let it get snatched…"
