Seeing these four rabbits, Wang's eyes suddenly straightened, and Chen Man kept swallowing his saliva.

Although the village is close to the mountains and there are a lot of game in the mountains, due to the strict iron and steel control implemented by Dazhou, there are not many hunters who can go into the mountains to hunt.

And there are not only these small animals in the mountains, but also some jackals, tigers, leopards and so on!

It would be nice if these ferocious beasts don't come out to hurt people. Who would rush into the mountains to die?

For these villagers who don’t even have enough food to eat, there are even fewer opportunities to eat meat!

So after seeing these four fat hares, all four people except Zhao Feng showed shocked expressions.

"This, where does this come from?"

Chen Shan asked in disbelief.

Even Chen Rou looked at Zhao Feng in surprise.

No wonder Zhao Feng didn't go home all afternoon yesterday. It turned out that he went into the mountains to hunt hares!

But Chen Roudu has been married to Zhao Feng for more than half a year, but she has never heard that Zhao Feng is capable of hunting in the mountains!

Zhao Feng smiled: "This is just what I called from the mountain."

"Mother-in-law, please take away two of these four hares and leave two to be dried into meat. You can also make meat porridge in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately smiled and said quickly.

"Okay, okay, what a good son-in-law. Not only did he save your father-in-law, he also brought meat to my family!"

"The last time we ate meat was during the Chinese New Year last year!"

Seeing Wang's smile, Chen Rou breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Wang took the four hares to the back kitchen and planned to cook. Chen Rou also planned to go over to help, but she was stopped by Mrs. Wang.

Chen Rou was also afraid that Zhao Feng would talk nonsense, so she had no choice but to stay here.

Chen Shan and Zhao Feng chatted for a while, and then asked curiously.

"By the way, why did you come back suddenly this time?"

"This isn't a New Year or a holiday. Could it be that you are encountering some difficulties?"

Hearing this, Zhao Feng nodded, sighed and said.

"Father-in-law, let me tell you the truth, we have indeed encountered some difficulties."

"So we want to borrow..."

Before she finished speaking, Chen Rou suddenly stopped Zhao Feng.

Then, Chen Rou quickly said to Chen Shan.

"Dad, we want to borrow two taels of silver!"

"Just use these few days to wait until we have more money, and we will definitely return it to you!"

Chen Rou was afraid that Zhao Feng would tell all those things, if Chen Shan knew that Zhao Feng lost the two taels of silver because of gambling.

If he even comes close to selling himself, then all the goodwill accumulated before will probably be lost!

So Chen Rou quickly said these words before Zhao Feng could.

Sure enough, even when Chen Rou said these words, Chen Shan couldn't help but frown, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"Xiaorou, you are our biological daughter. Logically speaking, if something happens to your family, we cannot sit idly by and ignore it."

"But after all, you have been married for half a year. If you need our help now, what will you do in the future?"

Chen Rou's face became very embarrassed, and she even knelt down directly in front of Chen Shan with a plop.

"Dad, let's take advantage of this once. We are really in trouble this time!"

"Father will treat his daughter as unfilial!"

Chen Shan looked at Chen Rou who was kneeling in front of him, turned to look at Zhao Feng, and asked with a stern face.

"Is this the reason why you came? Just to borrow money?"

Only now did Zhao Feng come to his senses. Looking at Chen Rou kneeling there, Zhao Feng realized that Chen Rou had misunderstood!

So Zhao Feng quickly pulled Chen Rou up, shook his head at Chen Shan and said.

"Father-in-law, your daughter has misunderstood!"

"Although we are short of money now, we don't want it as much as you and your wife do!"

When Chen Rou heard this, she couldn't help but turn to look at Zhao Feng, her eyes full of confusion: "Aren't you here to borrow money? Then you just said to borrow it?"

Zhao Feng patted his forehead helplessly: "I didn't make it clear to you."

Later, Zhao Feng explained to Chen Rou and Chen Shan.

"Father-in-law, I know you are a carpenter. You must have many tools for carpentry work."

"I'm here to borrow these tools from you!"

"You also know that even the farm tools used for work must be strictly controlled. Even ordinary people don't even have a kitchen knife."

"So I mainly want to borrow your tools!"

When Chen Shan heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.

This barely makes sense!

Then, Chen Shan showed a puzzled expression: "Do you still do carpentry?"

Zhao Feng scratched his head in embarrassment and said honestly.

"I don't know how to do carpentry, but I mainly use these things to make things for setting traps."

"Only by getting these things can I hunt bigger and better prey and sell them to the town for money!"

Only then did Chen Shan understand, and then he laughed and nodded.

"Okay, I didn't expect you to have this ability!"

"My tools are all in the next room. I happened to be injured these days and can't use them. You can just stay here and build them. If you don't understand anything, I can also guide you!"

Zhao Feng suddenly nodded in surprise: "It's not too late, I'll use it after dinner!"

Chen Shan nodded happily and agreed.

If Zhao Feng really knows how to hunt, not only can he sell the prey he catches to the town for money, but his daughter's family will not be short of meat in the future.

Thinking of Zhao Feng's previous strength, Chen Shan felt that this matter was quite reliable!

Chen Rou didn't expect that Zhao Feng came here to borrow these tools. She thought he wanted to borrow money.

After realizing this, Chen Rou was immediately ashamed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

Zhao Feng turned to look at Chen Rou and gently took her hand.

"Chen Rou, I know you didn't enjoy much happiness after marrying into my family, but don't worry, I will definitely let you live a good life!"

"Just with my hands, I will definitely make you no longer regret it!"

After hearing Zhao Feng's words, Chen Rou could no longer suppress her inner emotions and threw herself directly on Zhao Feng's shoulders, choking in a low voice.

She has been waiting for this day for a long time!

At this time, Mrs. Wang came back with the prepared rabbit meat, and brought over the two peeled rabbit skins.

"Oh, actually, it's not that Mom doesn't want you to come back, it's that you are already married and have to rely on yourselves for everything!"

"Now that I see that you are living a good life, and Zhao Feng is also doing well, you should live a good life when you go back!"

"This rabbit skin can still be sold for a good price when you take it back. I see that your rabbit doesn't even have a hole in it. It can be sold for at least half a pound of money!"

Upon hearing this, several people in the room burst into laughter.

After eating, Zhao Feng took Chen Shan to the next room and wanted to use these carpenter tools to build what he wanted.

Chen Shan asked with some doubt: "Can you use these tools? Otherwise, tell me what you want and I will make it for you."
