GBP Chapter 1566 Raising Wild Boars
Chapter 1566 Raising Wild Boars
Sun Shan looked at the chubby little girl who had been beaten by Sister Yun again and again. The little girl's eyes were red and tears were dripping down her face as she pleaded for forgiveness in a soft voice. He felt heartbroken.
The little chubby girl is only three or four years old. She just loves to eat. What's wrong with that?
It's all my fault for being so strict with Yun-jie and me, which has kept the little girl in a state of constant hunger and cold.
What's wrong with a little girl being chubby? Why should she have to lose weight? As for whether she'll find a husband easily, that's a matter for later. Why insist on a chubby girl who's still small and thin?
Sun Shan was filled with remorse. He bent down and gently picked up the little chubby girl.
In that instant, the previous regret vanished.
Sun Shan gritted his teeth, braced himself, and used all his strength to barely lift the little chubby girl up.
No, it's not for a better marriage, it's for her health. Little Fatty must lose weight.
Sun Shan said expressionlessly, "Father's good daughter, you can't eat too much of that in the future. Pork cracklings are so oily, they'll make you even heavier."
Little Fatty: .....
a bolt from the blue!
Just a moment ago, I saw my father's eyes filled with guilt. I thought he would let me eat more in the future. How could he change his mind in less than three seconds?
Men are indeed fickle.
The chubby girl felt even more aggrieved, pouting and tightly hugging Sun Shan's neck with her chubby hands.
She cried and said, "Father, Xiaoxiao isn't heavy, Father is. If Xiaoxiao doesn't lose weight, the fried pork cracklings won't be oily, Xiaoxiao wants to eat them."
Sister Yun saw that Little Fatty was starting to act like a rascal again.
He said fiercely, "You're not allowed to eat. Your belly is already round and full, how can you eat so much? Humph, and you can't be possessive of your food. You're not allowed to withhold food from your father. If there's a next time, I'll lock you in the bedroom and you're not allowed to come out."
The chubby girl pouted even more.
Sister Yun raised the feather duster high.
The chubby girl's mouth returned to its round shape.
Sister Yun said again, "You're being punished by not being allowed to eat dinner tonight."
Little Fatty stared at Sister Yun in shock, her eyes wide and quickly welling up with tears. Seeing that her mother remained unmoved, she turned her head and looked at Sun Shan with a cunning, manipulative gaze.
Sun Shan's heart tightened, and he wanted to plead for mercy.
It suddenly occurred to me that when educating children, the worst thing is for one person to teach and the other to protect.
Sun Shan wisely shut his mouth.
Little Fatty saw her father turn his head away, then turned to look at Sun Bomin and Madam Su.
As expected, Sun Bomin spoke up: "Xiaoxiao's mother..."
You could tell what Sun Bomin wanted to say as soon as he opened his mouth.
Sister Yun shouted loudly with righteous indignation: "Father, Mother, although our Sun family is a small family, we are a family that is filial, fraternal, loyal, trustworthy, respectful, honest, and virtuous, and we follow the rules and regulations."
Xiaoxiao is a descendant of the Sun family, so she must learn rules and cultivate good character from a young age. She cannot be allowed to be spoiled just because she is young.
Xiaoxiao is the eldest daughter in our family, so she has to set an example for her younger siblings and be strict with her words and actions.
Filial piety, benevolence, humility, diligence, intelligence, knowledge, and reason—these are the qualities that our eldest daughter of the Sun family should possess.
Father, Mother, Xiaoxiao's words, actions, and appearance influence her younger siblings. We cannot raise her to be unruly and undisciplined.
Sun Bomin & Su Shi: .....
The daughter-in-law spoke with conviction; if they were to say another word in support of Little Fatty, they would likely become sinners against the Sun family.
Little Fatty: ......
My mother spoke at length, much of it incomprehensible. But her serious expression foreshadowed a difficult future.
Sun Shan: .....
Her eyes sparkled as she secretly gave Sister Yun a thumbs up.
Uncle Sun, who had just jumped out of the dark room, clapped repeatedly.
He shouted enthusiastically and excitedly, "My niece-in-law is right! A girl from Fucheng is a girl from Fucheng; what she says makes perfect sense."
"Oh dear, it's such a blessing for our Sun family to have such a wonderful daughter-in-law. If our descendants are properly trained by her, they'll all be refined young ladies in just a few years."
Turning around, he said seriously and earnestly to Sun Bomin and Su Shi: "Brother, sister-in-law, you two come from the countryside, so don't get involved in the children's education."
"You can't even read a single character, how could you possibly raise Xiaoxiao well? Oh dear, you'd be better off growing vegetables and farming; don't speak up about things you're not good at. Pretending to know what you don't is the most unbecoming thing to do."
Sun Bomin & Su Shi: .....
I really want to beat up Uncle Sun.
Don't they understand the道理 (principles/reason)? It's just that whose granddaughter is the most beloved by the Sun family. Uncle Sun is talking without any sense of the situation.
In the evening, we ate dinner.
The little girl was forbidden from eating, and she lay pitifully on the fire pit, watching her family members eat large chunks of food.
Uncle Sun, in particular, ate with great gusto.
While eating, he said with a grin, "That fat pig raised in that experimental field is really delicious. It's so oily and juicy, it makes my whole body feel comfortable and gives me a lot of energy."
Dege'er thought so too, and suggested, "Shanzi, let's continue raising him next year."
After a pause, he suggested, "Shanzi, why don't we fence off the hilltop above the experimental field and raise wild boars there? Domestic pigs are delicious, but the meat isn't firm enough. Wild boars are much better; they run around all day, and their whole bodies are all muscle."
"That's a good idea indeed," Sun Shan said with a smile. "Brother De'er's suggestion is excellent. We should not only raise them on the mountain, but also raise more to sell. Everyone likes to eat wild boar."
Speaking of wild boars, Sister Yun is incredibly eloquent.
He said happily, "Brother Shan, raising wild boars is good. They're especially chewy and taste delicious. Many wealthy families like to eat them. And since they're wild boars raised by the government, outsiders might be willing to buy them. Hehe, pigs from the government—hearing this, everyone wants to try them."
The common people both hated and worshipped the officials.
It's made by the government, which means it's different from others, and it's very prestigious to talk about it.
When Sun Bomin heard that Sun Shan was going to raise pigs, he temporarily forgot about Little Fatty.
He said with a smile, "Shanzi, if you raise wild boars next year, your father will help you raise them."
Sun Bomin was simple-minded; he wanted to help his son with as much work as possible, and by doing the work himself, he could save on wages and indirectly increase Sun Shan's income.
Madam Su pursed her lips. "If you become an old master and an old lady and still raise pigs, wouldn't Shanzi have wasted his time as an official?"
The Su family had no desire to raise pigs; it would be beneath them.
He glanced at the chubby girl lying on the fire pit and secretly gave her a look.
It's as if it's saying: Serves you right! Who told you to be so unfilial, not even feeding your father? You deserve to have no food!
Then he gave him another look.
It's as if it's saying: "Hey chubby girl, just bear with it, I'll find you something to eat later tonight. You'd better lie there obediently, don't cause any trouble, and be good."
Little Fatty saw Su gnawing on a bone while glancing at her.
They couldn't read Su's eyes and thought she was trying to tempt them.
She felt even more wronged instantly, and tears streamed down her face, but she dared not cry out loud.
Finally, I covered her head with the blanket to keep her from seeing or hearing anything. She cried for a while and soon fell asleep.
At the dinner table, Sun Shan and Sister Yun continued their lively conversation, enjoying themselves immensely.
What a beautiful scene of a loving father and filial son, a harmonious husband and wife, and a prosperous family.
