Chapter 13: Happy sharing of spoils, careful planning
The next day, when Lin Qiujuan called her father-in-law to have breakfast, she found that her husband and brother-in-law had come out of her father-in-law's room.
I was puzzled for a moment, "When did you come back? Why didn't I hear any noise?" Especially my own man, he didn't even go back to the house when he came back, which was really infuriating.
"Something happened, so I came back late. I didn't want to disturb you and the children, so I didn't go back to the house." Seeing his wife's angry look, Li Baojun hurriedly explained.
Su Zhongguo smiled, called his sister-in-law, and went into the kitchen.
Breakfast was simple: sweet potato porridge, a bowl of pickles and a bowl of pickled radish, very salty and sour.
After coaxing his wife, Li Baojun came in and saw that his father and brother-in-law had already started eating. He was very hungry after being busy all night.
Without worrying about anything else, I just went to the table and started eating.
The three grown men drank up the whole pot of sweet potato porridge.
As a result, Lin Qiujuan and her son were not full.
"Cook some eggs for Xiaopeng and Xiaojin later, and have some noodles." Looking at the empty pot, Father Li glared at his son with disgust.
Su Zhongguo was also a little embarrassed. He was really too tired and very hungry yesterday.
What else could Lin Qiujuan say, but she was still very happy to be able to eat eggs and noodles.
After breakfast, the three of them went into the main house.
Since her mother-in-law was not at home, Lin Qiujuan naturally could not enter the main house.
Although she didn't know what they were discussing in the room, she still believed in her man.
Instead of worrying about them, you might as well prepare dinner for your son quickly.
They should wake up soon.
Li Baojun has two sons, one is four years old and named Li Peng, and the other is just one year old and named Li Jin.
When Lin Qiujuan is not working, she stays at home taking care of her two children, doing housework and cooking.
Her life is much happier than that of the women in the same village.
She was naturally very satisfied with her husband's family.
In the main house.
The contents of the three boxes were counted.
Father Li was smoking a pipe and looking at his son and son-in-law through the smoke.
He was not sure what he was thinking, but when the two of them were about to take the things to exchange for money, he spoke.
"How do you plan to divide these things?" These things are rare, and although his family is poor, he doesn't want to ruin the relationship between siblings because of these things.
Li Baojun responded without thinking: "These were discovered by my brother-in-law, so they naturally belong to him. I'll just take some hard work pay. After all, I've been busy all night." As he said that, he looked at his brother-in-law with a smile.
Su Zhongguo was choked by his silly look.
She slapped him in the face and said, "What are you talking about? We'll split this thing in half. It's all unexpected money anyway, so why not take it? Why, I'm not an ungrateful person."
Li Baojun was so stunned after being beaten, "Brother-in-law, just say what you want me to do. Besides, I didn't say anything wrong."
Seeing them like this, Father Li felt relieved.
Fortunately, they were not blinded by wealth.
Otherwise, as a father, he really doesn’t know what to do.
"Since you have a plan in mind, then I, an old man, won't interfere any more. Just give me a few to play with." Since this is the case, he would naturally get two to play with.
"This jade bracelet is nice. Give one to your mother. When life gets better, she can become rich too." Father Li was thinking about his wife.
Without thinking, Su Zhongguo took out the jade bracelet that his father-in-law pointed at and said, "Dad, give it to me."
Not only that, he also took out several jade pieces, which looked like items worn by women.
Li Baojun was not polite either, "Brother-in-law, I want to get a few for my wife too."
Su Zhongjun rolled his eyes at him and said, "You have a share, take as much as you want."
The room was filled with harmony and there was no sign of greed for money.
After each of them had at least ten pieces around them, the three finally stopped.
"Oh, look at what a stupid thing you have done. How are you going to hide so many things?" Father Li was the first to come back to his senses and felt that he had done something stupid.
One of them knocked his pipe and said, "Stop messing around. I can't keep these things in my room forever. Do you have any idea where to hide them?"
There were three big boxes, which contained quite a lot of stuff. It was unrealistic to put them all in his room.
Su Zhongguo and Li Baojun looked at each other, and used their eyes to confirm that the other party had the same idea as them.
"We plan to buy a house in the county town." Such a treasure must be hidden well. It would not be safe for either family to keep it anywhere.
"Baojun is going to work at the town police station. Spend some money and get him directly to the county town. I'll think of a way then. Bring Guixiang and the children with you to see Baojun. If anyone asks, I'll say Baojun found me a job."
Su Zhongguo has become cold-hearted towards his parents. They found that their baby didn't think about them, so why should they be the good person?
Father Li lit up his pipe again, took two puffs, and then spit it out: "This is a good idea, but it's not that easy to find a job in the county." He was afraid that his son would not be able to find a job for his son-in-law and that his son-in-law would feel resentful.
Su Zhongguo looked helpless, "Dad, what are you thinking? That's just an excuse. You know my parents are partial to me. Guixiang and I have long thought about splitting up, but we just didn't mention it because I haven't gotten married yet."
"This incident also made me realize that no matter how well I, the eldest son, do, I am still not as good as my younger brothers. Since they value my younger brothers more in their hearts, it is natural for me to help them."
He didn't want his children to be harmed because of them.
The daughter said in her heart that no one in her family had a good ending. Some died, and some lived a life worse than death.
In that case, it’s better to stay away from those people as soon as possible.
When Father Li heard this, a look of heartache appeared in his eyes. He was also a father, and he couldn't understand what Father Su was thinking.
Logically speaking, it should be the eldest grandson and the youngest son.
But their family favors the second child, which doesn’t happen in any other family.
"As long as you have a plan in mind."
Li Baojun was a little moved when he heard his brother-in-law's words, "Brother-in-law, there is no problem going to the county town, but the cost is a bit high." Thinking of his superiors, he felt that it would not be difficult to get a position in the public security bureau of a county town.
Besides, he already had a public security position, and it was just a promotion, which was not a big risk.
"Money, do we still need it?" Su Zhongguo pointed at the gold ingots in the box and said, "But these things are always valuable. We should find a way to exchange these silver ingots."
Gold is always valuable, but silver is not necessarily so.
You know, the current price of silver is just over two yuan per gram, so naturally the black market price is higher.
But silver is not as easy to spend as gold.
Fortunately, there are no special marks on their silver ingots, otherwise it would be even more difficult to sell them.
Li Baojun looked at the half-full box of silver ingots with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Brother-in-law, we can't sell too much at once without any acquaintances. This thing is not as easy to sell as gold. What should we do?" Although he had some acquaintances in the town, he really had no connections in this area.
Su Zhongguo's connections are even worse than Li Baojun's, so naturally he has no good background either.
