Then she was even happier, "Mom, this must weigh at least seven or eight jin."
Ma Xiulian was also extremely pleased, "Quickly put the rabbit in the basket, so no one sees it."
Although hunting was permitted in the mountains during this era, anything that appeared in the production team had to be considered public property.
After Chen Honghong placed the wild rabbit in the basket, she picked a few large leaves from the roadside to cover it.
Ma Xiulian looked around like a thief, lowered her voice and said, "Let's go, hurry home."
"Okay."
The mother and daughter quickened their pace and arrived home in just a few minutes.
The other members of the Chen family had already returned to their own rooms. Everyone went to bed early at this time.
After entering the kitchen, Chen Honghong opened the basket to see that the wild rabbit had been awakened at some point, lying still with its red eyes wide open.
This rabbit was nothing like the others they'd seen before, which would have taken off running at their approach.
She immediately frowned and asked, "Mom, is this rabbit stupid?"
Ma Xiulian casually waved her hand, "Who cares if it's stupid? As long as we can eat it!"
Chen Honghong nodded, "True."
After speaking, she saw her mother kiss her little niece's face and happily praised, "Our Guibao is terrific, she knew to bring a rabbit for grandmother to eat at such a young age."
Helian Qiao blinked her large eyes innocently: she hadn't done anything.
It was simply that the rabbit was too timid and, overcome by her Dragon's Prestige, it ran off in panic and crashed straight into Ma Xiulian's leg.
Chen Honghong looked at her mother with a baffled expression, "What does this have to do with Guibao?"
The wild rabbit had definitely ran into them of its own accord.
"You wouldn't understand."
Ma Xiulian didn't want to explain too much to her daughter, simply reminding her, "Just remember to treat your little niece well. She's got great fortune."
Although Chen Honghong didn't exactly believe the first part, she chuckled and reassured her mother, "Don't worry, I adore our Guibao."
At this moment, Helian Qiao yawned widely, she was sleepy.
Seeing this, Ma Xiulian cooed softly, "Guibao is tired, shall we drink some milk before going to sleep?"
Helian Qiao puckered her lips, indicating she was ready to drink!
So Ma Xiulian took her to Li Chunhua to nurse her, after which she carried her back to her own room to care for her.

The next morning, everyone in the Chen family was delighted by the appearance of a wild rabbit in the kitchen.
"Mom, where did this rabbit come from?"
With a calm expression on her face, Ma Xiulian replied, "It ran into me when we were on our way back home yesterday night."
The Chen family members widened their eyes in shock, "Such good things actually happen?!"
Usually, wild rabbits would run away at the sight of people on the mountain. It was hard for them to even get close to one.
Only Old Man Chen, who knew the truth about last night, ate his bread in silence, thinking to himself: It's only natural for the fairy granddaughter bestowed to him by the heavens to receive a wild rabbit. There's nothing so surprising about it.
As a witness, Chen Honghong testifies for her mother, "Yes, the rabbit really did ram straight into my mother's leg and knocked itself out."
Upon hearing this, the others look at Ma Xiulian with envy, "Mom, you're really lucky!"
A sense of pride and satisfaction couldn't help but show on Ma Xiulian's face, "That's because I was holding Guibao,"
The Chen family clearly didn't believe her, even Zhou Zhaodi scoffed, "Mom, even if you're partial to Wuni, you don't have to attribute everything good that happens to her."
She's clearly a little vixen!
Ma Xiulian ignored her, only saying, "Guibao is not called Wuni, her formal name is Chen Jiao, and her nickname is Qiaoqiao."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Chen family was taken aback. This name certainly sounded more fashionable than Wuni.
