Chapter 60 - Back Door


    The next day, Xiang Tian prepared breakfast before heading up the mountain. Lin Yuxing was somewhat touched by this and, after eating, tidied up the house.


    Xiang Tian had been living alone, and although he had organized everything well, many things were still messy. Therefore, Lin Yuxing had to reorganize and keep busy until the afternoon.


    “Yu! Yu!” Hearing Xiang Tian''s shout, Lin Yuxing quickly ran out of the room. He saw the young man carrying arge wild boar on his shoulder, which he then ced in the courtyard.


    This wild boar was muchrger than thest one Lin Yuxing had seen. At the same time, Xiang Tian''s arm was injured.


    “Quick, follow me inside!” Lin Yuxing''s face darkened. Hadn''t he repeatedly told Xiang Tian not to overexert himself? Why was he so disobedient?


    Their house was at the foot of the mountain, and normally, they woulde in while guarding something. The back of the house was sttered with yellow, and the courtyard was surrounded by wooden logs.


    This was the first time Xiang Tian saw Yu reacting this way, so he was a little flustered, but he still obediently followed him.


    Lin Yuxing grabbed his arm. Fortunately, it was only a superficial wound. If it had been a bone injury, he wouldn''t have recovered in less than half a month. He used some medicinal herbs to treat it.


    “Yu, this is from a branch, not a wild boar,” Xiang Tian exined in a low voice.


    He knew that Yu was angry and understood why, but he really hadn''t put himself in danger. The wild boar had fallen into a trap, so he took the opportunity to kill it.


    “Really, a few days ago, I set up a trap at the edge of the mountain. Today, I nned to try my luck and was surprised to find such a big catch. When I go back, I''ll send half to dad and salt the other half for us to eat slowly,” Xiang Tian exined happily to Yu.


    Lin Yuxing knew that this wild boar weighed at least four hundred jin. He couldn''t understand how this idiot carried it back, but seeing Xiang Tian''s nonchnce, it seemed he was used to it. “How can we eat so much? Give one half to dad, keep one for us, and sell the other half in town.”


    It wasn''t that Lin Yuxing didn''t want to give half to his parents'' home, but he didn''t want to waste the rest.


    Xiang Tian was curious about Yu''s way of handling this, but since his husband was so thrifty, he was actually quite pleased. “Yu, it''s good that you''ve decided.”


    He also knew that hunting depended on luck. In the past, he had tried for a month without finding anything useful. So, when it came to the Autumn Harvest, he wouldn''t have to worry about food. It would be enough for him and Yu to eat for a while.


    In the past, he stayed home when he was free, not going to town to take on jobs. But now, things were different. He was no longer alone and had to take on the responsibility of supporting his family.


    “Alright, you can borrow an ox-cart from the vige chief or someone in the vige who''s well-off. We''ll head to town immediately.” There was still plenty of time before dusk, and it just so happened to be in time for Fun Boite''s dinner.


    Their home was quite a distance from the other viges, so the vigers didn''t know about Xiang Tian dragging such a huge wild boar. Lin Yuxing and Xiang Tian worked together to load the wild boar onto the ox-cart and then slowly drove towards town.


    The waiter knew Lin Yuxing since the shopkeeper had instructed him before. If he saw this brother, he would immediately inform him. “Yu…” His eyes widened in disbelief when he saw such arge wild boar.


    “Young man, this is…” Lin Yuxing hadn''t even finished speaking when he noticed the waiter quickly running in, and then the fat shopkeeper came out.


    From the look of it, it had only been a month since thest time. It was evident how lucky he was, not to mention that the pig''s water Yu had given the head chef was extremely popr in their Fun Boite. Furthermore, the previous month''s performance had increased by half, which made him extremely happy.


    Although others had also tried to replicate it, the taste was still iparable to their Fun Boite. As a result, there was a constant flow of guests, and the boss was especially pleased.


    “Lin Fu Lang.” When the shopkeeper saw Brother Yu''s son-inw dressed up and then looked at the young man beside him, he knew this brother was already married.


    Lin Yuxing smiled and nodded, “Uncle, I''ve brought you business again, but I want half of this wild boar back!” He had thought that the pig''s small body would return, but it seemed that the pig''s body wasn''t too good, so he changed it to half.


    Xiang Tian stood silently at the side. From the look of his brother, he seemed very familiar with the shopkeeper, so he didn''t need to interrupt and risk causing trouble for his husband.


    The shopkeeper was a little surprised. After all, the price he had given Lin Yuxing was unprecedented, and now this husband nned to return half of it. This shocked him quite a bit. “Yu, you know our Fun Boite can use this wild boar.” His way of addressing him showed his emotion.


    He thought that those who didn''t earn money were fools, and coincidentally, he met such a fool. He always thought that this bro in front of him was different from others, but he never expected him to be so unique.


    In the past, Lin Yuxing would have continued to bargain and raise the price of the wild boar, but now he was in a rush. “Shopkeeper, the other half of the boar is needed elsewhere. Uncle, please don''t make things difficult for me.”


    “Besides, the chances of catching a wild boar are very slim. Wasn''t the previous price a bit too low?” he thought to himself, though he wouldn''tin about having more money.


    He was a bit surprised that the shopkeeper wanted to raise the price, so he shook his head, “Yu, it''s already good that the young pig fetched you 90 copper coins per jin before, but this adult pig''s price is the same. I won''t discuss this anymore. The dinner will start soon, and killing the pig will take some time.”


    Lin Yuxing nodded slightly, “Then we''ll wait at the back. After the pigs are ughtered, could I trouble you to have someone deliver them?”


    The Fun Boite had separate entrances for the main and back, with most ingredients entering through the back door. Looking at him now, there shouldn''t be much of a problem, but it was a reminder to the shopkeeper that they were pressed for time.


    So, Lin Yuxing and Xiang Tian waited in the backyard for less than fifteen minutes before half of the wild boar was brought out.


    Seeing this, Lin Yuxing''s eyes shed with gratitude. He appreciated the shopkeeper''s favor, as the shopkeeper had considerately prepared the room for them, allowing them to avoid a lot of trouble.


    Simrly, the other half of the wild boar weighed three hundred jin, which earned Lin Yuxing twenty-seven gold coins. This shocked Xiang Tian, though he maintained a calm appearance.


    It wasn''t that he had never sold wild boars before, but the price… Indeed, his husband was the best. He had to work hard to earn money.


    They had dinner in town, bought many daily necessities, and even some snacks before returning home.


    Lin Yuxing asked, “Are you unhappy that I bought so many things?” At Xiang Tian''s age, he should have had many things to say, making him feel as if he had spent too much silver. After all, he had used up two silver taels, which was not a small amount for rural people.


    Hearing this, Xiang Tian quickly exined, “Yu, no, I''m just thinking about how to…” He didn''t know what to say, “Work hard and earn money.”


    Because he was poor, Yu had to save all his money. As a man, Xiang Tian felt a bit ufortable.


    Lin Yuxingughed and said, “Silly, I know what I''m doing!”


    “I didn''t introduce you to the shopkeeper because he''s very busy, and I could tell from his eyes that he knew you were a man from my family. After all, thest time, it was dad who came.”


    Actually, he felt a bit guilty inside, but it still seemed strange to introduce someone for no reason.


    “No, Yu, I didn''t mean it that way. I can''t speak well, so don''t misunderstand. I…” He was so anxious that he didn''t know how to exin.


    Lin Yuxing stopped him from speaking further and exined the purpose of the things he needed to buy, “I''ll buy what I need and save what needs to be saved.”


    “Yes.” Zhixin felt very reassured, feeling that her husband had be even closer to her.


    So, the two of them started chatting. In truth, most of the talking was done by Lin Yuxing, while the other mainly listened and asionally responded.


    Early the next morning, Xiang Tian loaded half a te of pork and all the other things they had prepared for the parents'' home onto the ox-cart.


    After finishing breakfast, they both sat on the ox-cart. Everyone in Lin Vige knew Lin Yuxing, who was tricked into marrying an “orphan” with no family in the vige. Seeing them return home with so many things for the parents'' home, many onlookers'' eyes lit up.


    In the minds of rural people, having no family was regarded as ominous, seen as a bane, especially for some lonely individuals. However, His Majesty was different today.


    Soong Qinghee knew his brother would be returning home today and had gotten up early to prepare. Eldest Lin also sat happily in the courtyard, and when informed that his brother and son-inw were about to arrive, his smile grew even brighter.


    Sure enough, not long after, he saw Yu and his husband, “It''s good that you came. Why did you bring so many things?”


    “Dad, we got lucky and managed to hunt a wild boar. Even if you don''t give dad a taste, he would still want to have a taste,” Lin Yuxing said with a smile.


    “Dad, Yu is right,” Xiang Tian added.


    Eldest Lin knew that Yu was a filial person, and the son-inw was not bad either, so he didn''t refuse. With Aunt Lin''s support, he walked over and said sharply, “Boss, I am the nanna''s nanna, so this meat is at least half mine.”


    The moment he said that, the happy atmosphere instantly vanished.
