Amazing Nanle Baby
Old Zheng returned to his and Old Lady Zheng's room, moved a brick from the wall next to the bed, counted out thirty ten-yuan bills, walked past Old Lady Zheng, and returned to the outbuilding.
"Grandpa has quite a bit of savings." Zheng Nanle looked at the three hundred and smiled gently.
The money that Old Mrs. Zheng hid was the family's savings. Old Mrs. Zheng only had the right to collect it, not the right to use it. She had taken most of the loose change, and the remaining large sums were in the savings account.
It's obvious that Old Man Zheng didn't get those three hundred from Old Woman Zheng.
This old man is very good at hiding his true intentions.
Old Zheng didn't utter a sound.
Zheng Nanle asked quietly, "After the founding of the People's Republic of China, did Grandpa kill anyone again?"
Old Zheng felt a chill in his heart, as if some danger would arise if he didn't answer this question well. He shook his head and said in a deep voice, "No, after I escaped home, I behaved myself and no one knew about my past."
If Zheng Nanle hadn't been so uncontrollable and rebellious, he wouldn't have had the intention to kill him.
However, for now, it seems that Sanya is mindful of Erya and will not kill her relatives. But it's hard to say what will happen in the long run.
Grandma Zheng is a case in point.
He stood in front of Zheng Nanle, hesitatingly asking, "Er Ya, how about you go live separately?"
The best solution is to break up with her.
In this way, her family would no longer be able to offend her, and would gradually erode her affection for Er Ya.
Hearing that Old Man Zheng had not killed anyone since the founding of the nation, Zheng Nanle was pleased.
She asked, "How do we divide it?"
Separating the family property was Zheng Nanle's original plan.
If they continued to live together, Er Ya would inevitably soften her heart and be moved by the group's sweet words, becoming their slave once again.
Blood relatives are like this, like a thick cotton-padded coat worn in winter. Good relatives can provide warmth, from the body to the heart; bad relatives are like a cotton-padded coat soaked in water, which not only does not keep you warm, but also adds another layer of cold. But when the cotton-padded coat dries, you feel that the cotton-padded coat is good and you are reluctant to take it off.
It would be best if we could never see each other again. Even if that's not possible, once we've separated, no matter how soft-hearted I am, I won't be bullied to death like before.
"The money will be divided equally, and a separate house will be built for Er Ya in the village," Old Man Zheng said. "If outsiders ask, just say that Er Ya is the only bloodline of the second son, and that Er Ya will take a husband in the future to carry on the second son's lineage."
"Can."
Zheng Nanle didn't take Zheng Laotou's selfishness to heart. He said things like, "Er Ya's father's pension and previous wages are all included in the family's assets, and Er Ya is at a disadvantage." In the countryside, the principle is that "while parents are alive, there is no private property." Even when the village chief divides the family property, it is divided in the same way as Zheng Laotou.
Even though she has secured more benefits for Er Ya at this moment, when Old Man Zheng announces the division of the family property, everyone will only say, "Er Ya is ignorant, and Old Man Zheng is kind."
The next day, while Grandma Zheng was still lying in bed unable to move, her eldest daughter-in-law brought her breakfast and began serving the family.
She first gave the bowl to Old Man Zheng, and then prepared to give the second to the eldest son. But when she met Zheng Nanle's calm and unwavering gaze, her heart trembled, and she poured the bowl into Zheng Nanle's bowl.
Zheng Nanle smiled as she held the bowl.
She understood why the eldest son's wife and the fourth son's wife were always cursing and arguing in private, seemingly furious and unable to tolerate each other, and why it was Old Lady Zheng who ultimately took action.
These two people, under the constant pressure from Old Lady Zheng, have become incredibly timid.
In other words, it's a paper tiger.
Back then, Er Ya's mother wasn't so cowardly as to dare say no to these two. They would just keep cursing and grumbling as they continued doing the work assigned to them. They didn't dare to take the matter to Old Lady Zheng.
Like a quail.
But as Old Man Zheng and Old Woman Zheng's authority gradually weakens until it disappears, will these two quails really continue to be quails?
Zheng Nanle looked on with slight anticipation.
Old Man Zheng tapped the table with his pipe to attract the attention of the Zheng family, and then announced, "Er Ya will now be the head of the household and live separately from the rest of the family."
The eldest and fourth sons couldn't hide their joy; their eyes lit up.
Since Er Ya's personality changed drastically, the peaceful days of the Zheng family have been gone forever. Every day, they hear their daughter-in-law complaining that there is no hot water to wash their feet at night, and the yard is full of smelly chicken and pig droppings. Their quality of life has dropped significantly. Most importantly, Er Ya eats all the white rice and snacks by herself, while they eat cornmeal and sweet potatoes every day. The little ones in the family are all talk and no action, and their parents don't care.
I can't go on living like this for even a day longer.
whee.
"Eldest brother, go to the village chief and ask him to approve a plot of land, a big one, preferably big enough to build three rooms." Old Man Zheng looked at Zheng Nanle, "Er Ya, are three rooms enough?"
“Okay.” Zheng Nanle nodded.
"After the land is approved, construction will begin after the harvest. The eldest son's wife and the fourth son's wife will take care of the logistics, and it is best to have the house built before the late rice transplanting."
The eldest couple and the fourth couple: "..."
No, not at all.
What grudge could you possibly hold against someone who builds a house in the sweltering heat of summer?
Three rooms?
Is Er Ya able to manage living in three rooms all by herself?
The eldest daughter-in-law whispered, "Father, although that outhouse is a bit small, it's where Er Ya lives alone, and it's even better than where Da Hu lives."
Da Hu and Er Hu are currently living in what was originally Er Ya's house.
The eldest son's wife meant that since Da Hu lived with his younger brother, it was already good enough that Er Ya could have her own room.
Even if the family were to separate, each person would have their own room. So, if the outbuilding were given to Er Ya, no one would complain. Why would there be a need to allocate another plot of land and build three large houses for her?
Old Zheng glanced at his eldest daughter-in-law indifferently. She fell silent, terrified. Although her father-in-law didn't manage things much, for some reason, she was afraid of him from the bottom of her heart.
"It's settled then," Old Man Zheng declared decisively.
The eldest son and his wife, and the fourth son and his wife, were unwilling, but dared not say so.
Ignoring the chaotic thoughts of the Zheng family, Zheng Nanle finished her meal, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and went to the back mountain with her hands in her pockets.
Xie Jianhua was wandering around the back mountain as usual. Zheng Nanle became curious. It had been almost half a month, and he was still wandering around. What was he looking for?
She followed behind Xie Jianhua.
Xie Jianhua's search was aimless, but the places he stayed in had similarities.
He deliberately lingered in crevices and caves; if the crevices weren't so small, he probably would have crawled inside.
Zheng Nanle curiously peered into the cave and released his spiritual energy into the crevices, but of course, he found nothing.
Zheng Nanle followed them all morning, but found it boring, so he went back. On the way, he ran into Xie Ronghua and Lu Guangbai talking behind a stack of rice.
Zheng Nanle slowly approached.
“Guangbai,” Xie Ronghua scratched his head in frustration, “my brother found out about the chickens and pigs I’m raising on the mountain.”
Zheng Nanle nodded to himself. Given Xie Jianhua's meticulous searching, it would be a surprise if he wasn't discovered.
Lu Guangbai asked in a deep voice, "Did you know it was raised by you?"
This sound.
Zheng Nanle looked up at Lu Guangbai.
In front of Zheng Nanle, Lu Guangbai always appeared to be good-natured and non-aggressive. Regardless of his appearance, he was exactly what a gentleman should be, like a smooth piece of jade, without any sharp edges.
But at this moment, Lu Guangbai's voice was calm and cold, like a majestic mountain or a deep sea, unfathomable yet steady and reliable.
It seems that no matter what happens, he can handle it calmly, and he inexplicably possesses sexual attraction.
It made Zheng Nanle's ears tingle.
"Know."
Xie Ronghua didn't work in the fields. When he had nothing to do, he liked to stay on the mountain, looking at the plump chickens and pigs. It was as if he saw money floating into his arms, which made him feel very good.
That's how his brother caught him; he couldn't even try to deny it.
If it were anyone else in the village, his brother might have let them handle it promptly out of consideration for fellow villagers. But when they found out it was him, his brother actually said he would hand it over.
He also mentioned that one of his comrades had recently transferred to civilian work as a police officer in the county, and that these chickens and pigs could be used to improve his comrade's meals at the bureau.
Hand it all over? How could that be? What about his whole year then?
"You said there was a share for everyone else, right?"
"I also said so."
Lu Guangbai nodded, "Keep one pig and ten chickens, sell the rest first."
Xie Ronghua was reluctant to give up. The chickens and pigs had only been raised for a few months and were not yet fully grown, so the meat was not very fatty. Moreover, at this time, the price of chickens and pigs was not yet at its peak. If he sold them now, he would lose a lot of money.
If I keep one more pig and ten more chickens, I feel like I've worked for nothing.
Labor time and medication costs are all expenses.
He couldn't help but complain, "My brother is really something. He could have just stayed home to recover from his injury. Why did he have to go to the mountains? The place where I raise chickens and pigs is remote and deep. If it weren't for your medicine powder, I wouldn't have dared to go that deep. How did my brother find it?"
“I think your brother has a mission,” Lu Guangbai speculated.
Even when I go to the mountains to relax, I don't go every day, from morning till night.
"Since things have already come to this, let's deal with it as soon as possible, lest your brother bring his comrades over and forcibly take the chickens and pigs away."
Xie Ronghua: "..."
His brother might actually be capable of doing that.
"If you want to solve this, why don't you ask the amazing Nanle baby?" Zheng Nanle said quietly.
"Who?" Lu Guangbai asked warily, glancing left and right.
"Ah, a ghost!" Xie Ronghua jumped up, looking around.
I didn't see anyone.
Xie Ronghua grabbed Lu Guangbai's arm in fear, her voice trembling, "Guangbai, a ghost, a ghost, it came out in broad daylight."
What kind of deep-seated hatred and powerful ghostly force must there be?
Lu Guangbai: "..."
He thought he heard the words "Nanle Baby".
He called out softly and uncertainly, "Zheng Nanle?"
He then looked behind a nearby haystack.
Zheng Nanle's voice continued softly, "Keep reading."
Xie Ronghua closed her eyes. "I won't look."
Lu Guangbai lowered his head.
I saw Zheng Nanle squatting on the ground, chin in hand, like a frog.
Lu Guangbai breathed a sigh of relief and said that Zheng Nanle was not that short.
“My amazing Nanle baby, what are your thoughts?” Lu Guangbai asked gently.
