Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 34

Chapter 34: The Pride of the Song Family

As Tang Min rushed over, Song Chu had already dragged the pork into the village.

The moment she saw him, Song Chu laughed heartily and said, “Brigade Leader, I hunted this wild boar. Please arrange for every household to come and get a share of the meat.”

The villagers who had come to watch the excitement cheered. Such a large wild boar meant that each family could get a good portion of meat.

Looking at Song Chu, the village bully, they found her more and more pleasing to the eye.

They no longer felt sour about the snake meat from before. It seemed that Song, the Village Bully, didn’t always like to eat alone.

Tang Min’s smile deepened. His niece was indeed clever. If she had taken such a large wild boar home to eat alone, she would have been in big trouble if someone reported her.

Now, although the meat was being shared, the villagers would benefit, and their impression of her would naturally improve.

“Alright, drag the boar to the big banyan tree at the village entrance. I’ll have the villagers come over to divide the meat,” he said.

Tang Min went to the office and used the loudspeaker to announce the news. The whole village erupted in excitement, and everyone rushed towards the village entrance.

Tang Feng naturally also heard about her precious daughter’s glorious deed. Hearing that she wasn’t injured, she wasn’t worried, only filled with pride.

When she met people on the road who mentioned it, she proudly puffed out her chest and said, “That’s my Yaobao. Any other girl would have been scared to tears.”

“My Yaobao is amazing. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be getting any pork,” she added. Although sharing the wild boar meat pained her a little, she knew that they couldn’t possibly keep such a large animal to themselves.

“Yes, your Song Chu is really something,” they agreed. Since they were getting a share of the meat, they didn’t mind praising her, and it was the truth anyway.

“Setting up the oil pressing workshop and now sharing the wild boar meat, your Song Chu is really capable now,” they said, envious and jealous of Tang Feng for having such an amazing daughter.

But they wondered if such a formidable girl would ever be able to get married.

Thinking about this, they felt a little better.

Tang Feng loved being praised. Her face beamed with pride. “Of course, my Yaobao takes after me.”

“……”

On the other side, Song Youfu was also being praised by his two sisters-in-law.

“Lao San, your Chu Chu is really sensible now. Smart and capable. You’ll be enjoying a good life from now on,” they said.

“A girl as capable as your Chu Chu is hard to find. Whether it’s the oil pressing workshop or sharing the boar meat, the whole village is benefiting from her,” they added.

Song Chu’s two aunts were happy not to be taken advantage of and to receive benefits instead.

They weren’t the type to take advantage of others. They were honest people, but they had always been on the receiving end of Tang Feng and her daughter’s stinginess. Suddenly receiving something in return was a pleasant surprise, and they felt quite satisfied.

Song’s Eldest Uncle and Song’s Second Eldest Uncle also chimed in with praise, “That’s right. Chu Chu is really amazing and promising now. Lao San, you raised her well.”

They used to worry about Song Chu and her siblings, but now they couldn’t help but feel proud of their niece. Which other girl could kill a large snake and a large wild boar? Only their niece could do it.

Song Youfu held his head high, filled with pride. “My Chu Chu will do even better in the future.”

He had raised his daughter, and she was just like him.

Song Chu’s brothers were also being praised by many villagers. They were all incredibly proud. Their sister was indeed like them.

The villager who used to be responsible for butchering pigs was assigned by Tang Min to help Song Chu.

Song Chu quickly let them take over. She was happy to be relieved of the task.

The whole village gathered around as the butcher quickly cleaned out the boar’s innards and cut the carcass open.

“Brigade Leader, how should we divide this meat?” he asked. In the past, pork was distributed according to work points, but now he wasn’t sure how to proceed.

Tang Min thought for a moment and looked at Song Chu. “You hunted the wild boar and dragged it down the mountain. You decide how to distribute it,” he said.

◈◈◈

Song Chu didn’t refuse his goodwill. She smiled and said, “Let’s see how many kilograms of meat there are and divide it equally among everyone based on the number of people in each household.”

“Also, I hunted the wild boar with nine other people, so the ten of us will take double portions. No objections, right?”

She naturally wanted to give her people extra benefits, letting everyone know that following her meant not only getting meat but also getting more of it.

Hearing that the meat would be divided based on the number of people in each household made families with many members very happy.

“No objections,” they said. Without Song Chu, they wouldn’t be getting any pork at all. She could take double portions, or even more, and it would be justified.

As for the other nine people getting double portions, even if some people had objections, they wouldn’t voice them, since it was Song, the Village Bully’s, decision.

It was only their first day following Song Chu up the mountain to pick tea fruit, and they had already encountered a wild boar and were getting an extra share of meat. Many people envied their good luck.

Those who had hesitated yesterday and didn’t sign up were now regretting it.

Such a large wild boar, weighing four to five hundred kilograms, and Song Chu had killed it alone without getting injured. This meant that going up the mountain with her wasn’t dangerous. If they had signed up yesterday and been chosen, they would have gotten an extra share of meat today.

Everyone happily divided the pork. In addition to the villagers, the educated youths also each received a share.

Except for Educated Youth Jiang, the other educated youths’ impressions of Song Chu improved a little.

It seemed that the female village bully wasn’t completely useless.

The wild boar Song Chu had hunted was large, and each household received at least a kilogram of meat. Everyone was beaming as if it were New Year’s.

That night, some families cooked wild boar dishes, and the whole village was filled with the aroma of meat.

In the evening, Song Chu went to deliver food to Gu Yue. The other members of the Song family also didn’t stay home. They went out into the village to chat with people.

The main point was actually to hear others praise their daughter/sister.

The big banyan tree at the village entrance was the main place for leisure and gossip. Today, the topic was all about Song Chu and the wild boar, which greatly satisfied the Song family’s vanity.

Tang Feng decided to treat her daughter even better. Song Youfu and Song Chu’s brothers also decided to be nicer to their daughter/sister in the future. Following their daughter/sister was definitely the right thing to do.

Even Song Eldest Sister-in-Law was proud and happy, constantly praising her younger sister-in-law outside, attracting envious glances from others.

This was definitely the first time the Song family, who had been disliked by the village for many years, had received such treatment. They were smiling even in their dreams.

When Song Chu went to deliver food to Gu Yue, several educated youths at the educated youth point took the initiative to greet her.

They had also discovered that as long as they didn’t provoke the village bully, she was usually quite amiable. Especially when she smiled, she was really beautiful, but they only dared to admire her from afar.

How could such a pretty female comrade be a village bully? Otherwise, they might have tried to pursue her.

Gu Yue was engrossed in drawing an improved structural diagram of the oil press, with many modifications marked on it.

Song Chu walked over, placed the basket on the table, and looked down at the diagram he had drawn. She couldn’t help but praise him, “Gu, the Academic God, you’re really something. You’ve already come up with some improvement plans.”

She had indeed chosen the right person. This guy was very useful.

Gu Yue put down his pen, looked up, and caught the smile in Song Chu’s eyes. “You understand this?” he asked.

Song Chu rolled her eyes at him. “Don’t underestimate me. I’m also at the level of an academic god,” she said.

Today’s update is complete. Thank you to those who tipped and voted~~ I was confused earlier and mixed up the terms for the maternal uncle’s family with those for the paternal uncle’s family. I’ll go back and correct it~~
