Zou Family

"Who's there? Come inside…" A hoarse voice could be heard coming from the inside of Zou family's house.

Liu Xiaolan was a little surprised, but still happily went inside and greeted the owner of the house. "Elder Zou, sorry for bothering you…"

She said before turning her attention towards Elder Zou's wife. "Madam, it's nice to meet you, my name is Liu Xiaolan…"

Liu Xiaolan went through the memories of the original soul, and it would seem that she has never really seen Elder Zou's wife before. The only thing she could find about her, was that she heard Grandma Liu once mentioning her.

It would seem that Madam Zou is a pretty docile and nice person, good to make friends with...

Madam Zou looked at her with a slight smile, "It's good to meet you too, little girl Liu. My name is Mu Zexian, but you can just call me Madam Zou if that's easier for you…"

Mu Zexian smiled happily and talked a little with Liu Xiaolan before excusing herself and going back to the room. It would seem that she's a little tired, perhaps the old age was slowly getting to her.

Zou Chang looked at Liu Xiaolan and smiled. "It's fine, girl Liu. I've heard that you're injured, is everything alright?"

Elder Zou was truly a little curious about Liu Xiaolan right now. After all, just yesterday the girl's husband run over to their home and looked as if the world was about to collapse.

Even though Mu Yuchen said that Liu Xiaolan was fine, Zou Chang was still a little hesitant about her condition. Otherwise, if everything is okay with her, why was that guy running to their home like a headless chicken?

"Everything is fine, it's just a little wound on my hand, it shouldn't even leave a scar…" Liu Xiaolan answered, a little shy.

Just by looking at Elder Zou's face she could see what's going on in his mind. That stupid little fool must have said something wrong yesterday, otherwise why is he looking at her with such curiosity?

"That's good, girl Liu. But you should still be careful, it's not good to run around just after losing some blood. It's better to recover first before going back to doing your things…" Zou Cheng said.

"I know, that's why I sent my little… uhm, my husband to the city today to take care of our business." Liu Xiaolan said with a slight blush on her face.

How could she forget herself in this kind of situation? She's almost called Mu Yuchen as a little fool in front of Elder Zou!

Liu Xiaolan thought about it and decided to quickly change the topic. "I've came to thank your family for the meat yesterday.."

Zou Cheng answered, "It's nothing, girl. Our Zou family might not be the richest family in the village, but we can still afford to give away some meat to people who need it…"

Liu Xiaolan smiled and agreed with him, but still thanked for the meat. "Elder Ren, does your family has any more meat? I'd like to buy some…"

"Oh, you want more meat?" Zou Cheng was a little surprised, since most villagers wouldn't buy anything from them, but still said, "I'm not sure girl, my sons are now in charge of our house…"

"You'd need to wait a bit until my son comes back, you can talk to him about buying some animal meat." Elder Zou said after thinking about it.

"It's already almost noon, so he should be back pretty soon. I'll get you some water, you can just wait for a moment here…" Zou Cheng said with a smile before going to get some water.

Liu Xiaolan agreed with him and made some small talk with Elder Zou while waiting for his son to come back.

About 30 minutes later, once Liu Xiaolan finished drinking her water, Zou Cheng's son finally came back.

Liu Xiaolan looked at him and was a little shocked. It seems that because since taking over this body, she has always been in contact with Zou Xinghe, so she just assumed that they were talking about him.

But how could he be here, when it's clearly now time for him to be on the road towards the city?

The son Elder Zou was talking about was his eldest child, Zou Xinhao.

Although both Zou Xinghe and Zou Xinhao looked similar, being sons of the same family, it was pretty easy to see the difference between them.

While Zou Xinghe was responsible for the business matters of the family, so he was spending most of his time around the city, Zou Xinhao took over their father's job and became a hunter.

Because of that, he looked stronger and his body was much more muscular than Zou XInghe's body.

Xou Xinhao also noticed Liu Xiaolan. He looked at her and was a little surprised. "Father, we've got a guest?"

"Yes, girl Liu came to thanks us for the meat we've given to her husband yesterday." Elder Zou said, before remembering that she also wanted to buy more meat from them. "Do we still have some meat for sale? You can talk about it with girl Liu…"

Xou Xinhao was surprised that a fellow villager could afford buying some of the meat they have, but soon started thinking about their inventory.

After all, even as a family that has been working as hunters for generations, with their own experience, it's not possible to catch prey every day.

Sometimes, they could even go for a whole week before catching anything. And even if they do, they need to split the money with other families, since they usually hunt in a group with the hunters from nearby villages.

Although they do keep all the prey from all hunter families nearby, thanks to the fact that they've got a dark room, but he still needs to consider their interests when it comes to disposing of what they managed to hunt.
