When Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran arrived at the place to collect grass for pigs, Lu Hai and Lu Jiang were already waiting there.
Lu Jiang and Lu Hai saw Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran and quickly walked up to them. Lu Jiang asked worriedly, "Tiantian, where did you go? Why did you take so long? If you don't come back, Lu Hai and I will go look for you."
"Brother Lu Jiang, hasn't Ranran been to the mountains before? She's quite curious, so I'll take her around."
Lu Jiang asked again: "You didn't go to the deep mountains, did you? There are wild boars in the deep mountains. You can't go there. It's too dangerous."
"Brother Lu Jiang, don't worry, we won't go. The mountains are so far away, and Ranran and I can't walk that far."
Gu Ranran also explained: "Yes, I was just curious about the mountains. Tiantian took me to a place with a good environment, and we sat there and played. We didn't go far."
Seeing Gu Ran enjoying playing in the mountains, Lu Hai said, "Ran Ran, let's take you to the mountains to play this afternoon. My brother and I have finished our work. We'll take you to our secret base this afternoon."
"Okay, Ah Hai, let's go back first. After taking a nap, you can come to the captain's house to pick up Tiantian and me."
"Ranran, you and your sister-in-law go first. My brother and I will go carry pig grass."
"Brother Lu Jiang, Ranran and I will go back first. If we go back late, my father and the others will be worried. You two go and hand in the pig grass."
"Okay, sweetie, I'll pick you up after your nap."
Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran went down the mountain first and arrived at their doorstep.
"Tongzi, give me a 50-year-old ginseng."
When Zhang Tiantian entered the room and saw the team leader, she walked over and handed the ginseng to him.
"Dad, I dug this for fun, but Ranran said it was ginseng, so I took it back."
The captain took a look at it and asked anxiously, "Tiantian, where did you dig it?"
"Ranran and I went to pick pig grass. We didn't want to do it, so we asked the kids to help us. I took Ranran to play, and I saw it growing in the grass. It looked pretty, so I dug it up with a stick. I showed it to Ranran, and he said it looked like ginseng."
The captain looked at the ginseng and said happily, "My dear daughter, this is ginseng. You are so lucky! Some people have gone out to look for it but couldn't find it. Tiantian, have you seen it anywhere else?"
"Dad, no, I haven't seen it before. I dug it up today because I thought it looked good."
Zhang Tiantian's third brother came over, looked at the ginseng carefully, and asked, "Dad, is this really ginseng? My sister is so lucky. I've only heard of it before, but never seen it."
Zhang Tiantian's third brother's voice was too loud, so she couldn't help but remind him.
"Third brother, keep your voice down. We can't let this get out. If others find out, the ginseng won't belong to us anymore."
The captain looked at the ginseng and thought of his old comrade. He asked Zhang Tiantian, "Tiantian, an old comrade of mine is buying ginseng for his father's health. Can I sell the ginseng to him?"
"Sure, Dad. I'll give you the ginseng, and it's yours. You can do whatever you want with it."
"Daddy's darling daughter is a good girl. Daddy will buy you delicious food and new clothes after selling ginseng."
The team leader announced it during the meal.
"Today, Tiantian dug up a ginseng in the mountains. My old comrade is buying some, so I'll sell it to him tomorrow. I should be able to sell it for 1,000 yuan. I'll keep 200 yuan for Tiantian's dowry and 800 yuan for household expenses.
You can’t tell anyone about Tiantian finding the ginseng, or the ginseng won’t belong to us anymore. Whoever tells anyone about it will no longer be a member of our family. Separate him from us, do you understand?
Zhang Tiantian’s second sister-in-law bumped into Zhang Tiantian’s second brother. Zhang Tiantian’s second brother did not take any action, so she spoke up herself.
"Dad, isn't 200 yuan a too much dowry for Tiantian? Tiantian's second brother only gave me 50 yuan as a betrothal gift."
"Second brother, this is the ginseng that Tiantian dug up. What does it have to do with you? Tiantian was kind enough to give it to me. I'll sell it and use the money to support the family. You're taking advantage of me, but I shouldn't give you all the money. If you dig up ginseng and sell it, I'll give you 20%. If you have the ability, go dig it yourself. It's no big deal to want someone else's."
Looking at her shameless daughter-in-law, Zhang's mother asked Zhang Tiantian's second brother, "Second brother, do you want to move out? Your wife can't control you. If you want to move out, just tell me directly. Are you afraid that I won't agree? Don't worry, if you want to move out, you can move out immediately. Anyway, you are married, so it's time to move out. Your father and I can live with Tiantian alone."
When Zhang Tiantian’s second brother heard about the family division, he was anxious to explain.
"Mom, I don't want to split up the family. We don't want to move out. We were wrong. I will take good care of my wife in the future. Mother, why don't you apologize quickly?"
When Zhang Tiantian's second sister-in-law heard about the division of the family property, her eyes lit up and she spoke directly.
"Apologize? What's there to apologize for? What did I do wrong? Why should Zhang Tiantian, a money-loser, get so much money?
I've been married for many years and have given birth to two sons, but neither my sons nor I are valued, and everything in the house is just a waste of money.
If Zhang Tiantian isn't a money-loser, what is she? She didn't do housework or work since she was little, and she went to school all the way through high school, spending so much money. She can't even find a job. She comes home to collect grass for the pigs, earning only two work points a day—less than what my son earns.
She couldn't earn enough work points, but she was the only one in the family who had the best food, clothing, and supplies. Didn't she live so well by taking our share? I don't know how she could be so shameless, taking advantage of the whole family and still living happily.
