“Your skills aren’t bad, but you didn’t put enough sugar in it—it’s not sweet enough.”
“Lin Zhen, you must keep up this habit of standing up for what’s right.”
Lin Zhen nodded. “Got it.”
“Wow, helping out comes with perks like this? I should’ve sent my son along too.”
“This new educated youth is really generous. Just helping carry some stuff and you get two eggs and sugar? Girl, next time you need help with anything, let me know. I’ll send my son and daughter-in-law to help.”
Zhao Yuyin forced a strained smile.
“Okay, I’ll keep that in mind.”
In the end, she practically fled in a panic.
Song Wei called after her, “Zhao Zhiqing, you forgot your bowl~”
Zhao Yuyin didn’t look back, and it was unclear whether she heard Song Wei’s call.
Song Wei, having eaten two eggs, was in a good mood and worked even harder.
On the other hand, Zhao Yuyin was seething with hatred. With no one around, her expression darkened completely.
“She’s just someone who deserves to die. What’s there to be proud of?”
“Zhao Zhiqing.”
A voice suddenly called out to her from behind.
She turned around, only to be drenched with a basin of water.
“Ahhh!!!”
Zhao Yuyin’s carefully put-together appearance was completely ruined. She looked utterly disheveled.
“You…”
She stared at Su Fang, who stood across from her with an expressionless face, trembling with anger.
“This is just a warning.”
Su Fang walked up to her, pinched her chin, and her eyes gleamed with a hint of madness.
“Don’t set your sights on Lin Zhen. He’s Song Wei’s. You’re a decent person, yet you insist on being a shameless bitch. Who would’ve thought?”
Zhao Yuyin looked at her with terror in her eyes. “You… what are you talking about? I haven’t…”
“Don’t take others for fools. Your eyes are quite beautiful, but they’re filled with nothing but dirty schemes and ambition.”
Su Fang released her chin and sneered. “I’ve died several times already, so I’m not afraid. If you dare do anything to hurt Song Wei, I won’t mind dragging you to death with me.”
She had been saved by Song Wei multiple times, and her life belonged to Song Wei.
Leaving Zhao Yuyin in a state of shock, Su Fang walked back to the educated youth dormitory as if nothing had happened.
Zhao Yuyin really thought everyone was a fool. Her eyes looked down on everyone with a sense of superiority.
Only when she looked at Lin Zhen did they fill with passion, calculation, and ambition.
No one knew where her confidence came from.
But those who can’t hide their emotions are the real fools.
“Lunatic!”
Zhao Yuyin cursed as Su Fang walked away.
But Su Fang’s fierce eyes had genuinely frightened her.
She couldn’t understand why someone who should have died long ago was still alive and well, and so protective of Song Wei.
The unease in Zhao Yuyin’s heart grew, but she was unwilling to give up just like that.
…
After finishing her work, Song Wei went straight to the Lin zhen’s house to check on the injured fox.
The fox still had a strong odor, but in the countryside, where the smells of manure and other waste were commonplace, the fox’s scent was bearable.
“Oh, Wolf One and Wolf Two are back from hunting?”
While scratching the fox’s chin, the two wolves returned with Hei Dan. Surprisingly, they had prey in their mouths—a pheasant and a bamboo rat.
“Even a bamboo rat!”
The two wolves dropped their prey on the ground and looked at her.
“Good job.”
Hei Dan’s little face was flushed with excitement. “Sister Song, you have no idea how amazing Wolf One and Wolf Two are. While we were in class, they took the village dogs hunting in the mountains. Even the dumbest one caught a frog.”
Song Wei: “Really?”
“Owoo owoo~”
The two wolves let out low howls, their proud posture evident as they sat with their heads held high.
They had taken their underlings hunting in the mountains. Some, like them, caught pheasants, while others caught smaller prey like sparrows or frogs.
But when they returned, the children were undoubtedly thrilled.
The mountains around Ping’an Brigade stretched endlessly. Near the village, you could occasionally spot wild animals like pheasants and rabbits.
And deeper in the mountains, pheasants, rabbits, and even wild boars were abundant.
If you were skilled at hunting, you’d never return empty-handed from the mountains.
The dogs that followed Wolf One and Wolf Two were hunting in the mountains for the first time. After all, their primary role was to guard homes.
So their hunting skills weren’t great.
The stronger and smarter ones, with the help of Wolf One and Wolf Two, managed to catch pheasants or rabbits. The weaker and clumsier ones could only catch small sparrows or frogs.
But none returned empty-handed.
When the children returned from school and saw their dogs bringing back prey, they were ecstatic.
Especially the owners of the dogs that caught pheasants or rabbits.
Song Wei didn’t know that when those dogs returned home with the children, the excitement spread quickly throughout the village.
“You have no idea, my tabby cat is usually great at catching mice, but this time it actually brought back a field mouse. It was huge—enough for a meal!”
“Your tabby is amazing! My dog is a bit small and only brought back a sparrow. I roasted it for my son.”
“At least you got a sparrow. My dog only brought back a frog.”
“Apparently, it was Song Wei’s two wolf dogs that took them hunting in the mountains. Our village dogs have never hunted in the mountains before. Maybe next time my dog will bring back a pheasant or rabbit.”
Those whose dogs brought back prey couldn’t stop showing off, even if it was just a frog.
After all, this was something that had never happened before.
Hearing that some dogs had brought back pheasants or rabbits, everyone got excited.
“I need to feed my dog more. If it gets stronger, maybe next time it’ll bring back a big rabbit.”
“Same here. My dog is just too small and thin.”
This got the rest of the village, who didn’t have dogs, itching to get one.
In the past, dogs were only good for guarding homes, so they weren’t highly valued. But if dogs could hunt, bring back meat, and even look after children, they became incredibly desirable.
“I’m going to talk to Song Wei and see if her two wolf dogs can train my dog. They’re great at both hunting and looking after kids. I wonder how she trained them.”
“Hey, didn’t you know? Hei Dan said those two dogs were trained by soldiers. Besides, they were raised by Lin Zhen, who’s also a soldier. I heard the military has specially trained dogs—they’re amazing.”
“No wonder! Soldiers are really something!”
