The elder aunt's family's life had also improved. Initially, they had lent Jing Shu's family 100,000 coins, and after the apocalypse, Jing Shu paid them back with a pregnant sow. The elder aunt's family knew how to run a business. They immediately started raising pigs at a livestock farm, and their life got better and better.
In addition to contributing piglets to the 'public farm,' the elder aunt's family also had the old sow given by Jing Shu and the four piglets they had raised. Now, food wasn't considered scarce. With feed mixed with red earthworms, they could raise many more pigs—a stark contrast to last year when rations were non-existent, making it difficult to keep people alive, let alone pigs.
However, Jing Shu still reminded Uncle that this year they could raise more pigs and collect more red earthworms to be processed into feed at a workshop and stored. If in future years there were poor harvests and a lack of red earthworms, raising pigs would become difficult again.
