As soon as he finished speaking, a little old man with a hunched back and a pipe in his hand strode out of the main house.

The old man's eyes were sharp as he glanced at everyone in the yard.

"Eldest wife, why don't you help your mother back to the house quickly!" The old man turned around and scolded Zhang Cuihong.

"Yes!" Zhang Cuihong was obviously a little afraid of the old man.

Zhang Cuihong took Old Lady Shen from Shen Ming'an and quickly took Old Lady Shen back to the house.

Old Mrs. Shen, who had been shouting, shut up and let her eldest daughter-in-law help her back to the house.

Shen Ming'an looked up at the old man, suppressed the anger in his heart, lowered his head and called out "Dad".

When Zhao Xiufen saw the old man come out, she quickly stepped forward and leaned over, calling out, "Dad."

Shen Qingli couldn't help but frown when she saw her father and mother's actions.

It seems that my grandfather has a very high status in the Shen family!

The facts were indeed as Shen Qingli expected.

Although Mrs. Shen usually has the final say at home, she is actually just a puppet promoted by Old Man Shen in front of others.

The real head of the Shen family is Old Man Shen!

But Old Man Shen has always been a low-key person. Unless it is an important matter, he never shows up in person. So in the eyes of outsiders, he is just an honest farmer.

Shen Qingli felt that it was not the time to break up with the old Shen family's head, so she curled her lips and called out sweetly to Old Man Shen: "Grandpa!"

"Hey!" Old man Shen nodded with a loving look on his face.

"Dad, this is Qingli. She was taken away by mistake from Yuning!" Shen Mingan hurried forward and introduced Shen Qingli to Old Man Shen.

"You know that our Shen family is poor, yet you are still willing to recognize your biological parents. Qingli, you are a good child, unlike Yuning, the girl who despises the poor and loves the rich." Old man Shen looked at Shen Qingli with a comforting expression.

"Grandpa, blood is thicker than water. No matter how poor they are, they are my biological parents who gave me life. How could I despise them!" Shen Qingli smiled and looked at Old Man Shen, looking well-behaved and obedient.

"Okay! Okay!" Old Man Shen happily patted Shen Qingli's head. "Just stay home and relax. Although our family is poor, we won't let you starve!"

"Yeah! Thank you, Grandpa!" Shen Qingli also showed a happy expression at the right time.

Zhao Xiufen looked at the grandfather and grandson with a look of relief.

Shen Ming'an's eyes flashed, and although he was confused, he didn't say much.

With Old Man Shen's appearance, Shen Ming'an's plan to divide the family was naturally stillborn.

······

It was past seven in the evening, and after the third branch of the Shen family had packed up their things, Shen Qingyu had not returned yet.

Shen Ming'an and Zhao Xiufen planned to go to the mountains to look for their eldest son.

"Dad, I'll go up the mountain with you." Before leaving, Shen Qingli changed into clothes that were convenient for movement and called out to Shen Mingan and Zhao Xiufen.

"Xiao Li, you are not familiar with the terrain of the mountain. It is too dangerous to go up the mountain at night. You and your second and third brothers just need to wait at home!" Shen Ming'an was worried about Shen Qingli going up the mountain, so he began to persuade her.

"Dad, I have a 98K. It has a keen sense of smell and can help us find big brother as soon as possible." Shen Qingli picked up the 98K and waved it in front of Shen Mingan and Zhao Xiufen.

"Yes! How could I forget it!" Shen Ming'an said, slapping his head.

It’s just that this little guy is not like other puppies. He is too quiet, so quiet that he forgets its existence.

"Okay, then you can take it up the mountain with you!" Shen Ming'an thought about it and agreed to let Shen Qingli go up the mountain with him.

"Dad, these two flashlights are for you and mom, one each!" Shen Qingli handed the flashlights that 98K had looted from her adoptive parents' home to her parents.

"Your dad and I will just keep one, and you can use this one yourself." Zhao Xiufen refused the flashlight handed to her by Shen Qingli.

"I have more!" Shen Qingli took out another flashlight from her bag and waved it in front of Zhao Xiufen.

"Little sister, why did you bring back so many flashlights?" Shen Qingyang asked curiously.

"I prepared it specially just in case, and now I'm using it today!" Shen Qingli gave her third brother a sweet smile.

"My little sister is indeed foresighted!" Shen Qingyang gave Shen Qingli a thumbs up.

"That's it!" Shen Qingli raised her little head proudly, holding the 98K and leaving the house with Shen Mingan and Zhao Xiufen.

Maybe it's really because of blood relationship.

Shen Qingli herself didn't realize that she was very relaxed in front of Shen Qingxuan and Shen Qingyang.

It was completely different from the cautiousness he showed when dealing with the eldest brother of the Shen family.

"This little sister is different!"

After Shen Qingli, Shen Mingan and Zhao Xiufen left, Shen Qingxuan said these words quietly.

"It's definitely different!" Shen Qingyang nodded in agreement. "It's a hundred times better than that fake one!"

On the other side, Shen Qingli, Shen Mingan and Zhao Xiufen walked up the mountain with flashlights.

Qingshan Commune is called Qingshan Commune because it is located in Daqing Mountain. More than half of the villages in Qingshan Commune are built along the Daqing Mountain.

Xiaorongshu Village is at the foot of Daqing Mountain.

Guarding the Daqing Mountains has both advantages and disadvantages.

The good thing is that the mountains are rich in resources, and during years of famine, many people did not starve to death thanks to the wild vegetables and tree bark in the Daqing Mountains.

If you are lucky, you can catch pheasants, rabbits or even wild boars.

The downside is that if you are not careful, your home may be destroyed by wild boars or even wolves running down the mountain.

However, in recent years, apart from wild boars, there are very few wild wolves coming down the mountain.

Shen Qingli followed her father and mother up the mountain while looking at her system panel.
