Chapter 240 Xiao Fubao Discovers Gold
Old Lady Wan was delighted to hear this and said, "That's a good thing. I'm still healthy and don't need you to serve me. Since you've got such a good job, you must do your job well and don't bring shame to the county magistrate. You don't have to worry about the family. We've separated now, so you don't have to worry about us. But I still have some things to say in advance. Today is the eve of your wedding, and I have some things to tell you."
Boss Wan didn't say anything. He just looked at Old Lady Wan, waiting for her to continue.
"You are getting married soon. The wife you are marrying this time is the one you like. The previous one was because the family had no money, so they just made do with it. But even if that one was not good, she gave birth to three sons for you. After you get married, if your wife doesn't want to raise the children from your ex-wife, you can tell mother in private and I will take the children back to Shizi Village."
"Mom, no, Shen is not that kind of person. You know that. I was moved by how well Shen treated the children. If that day really comes, I will divorce her." Boss Wan was also anxious. This was not the result he wanted to see.
But Old Mrs. Wan raised her hand to block it, indicating to Boss Wan not to be anxious.
"Don't say that after you get married. If you marry a girl from the same village as us, it's okay to have a few quarrels. But now you marry the county magistrate's sister. You got the job because of her, so you have to endure grievances. I'm just talking about if. Mother certainly doesn't want Shen to change her mind after she has her own children. I'm saying this up front. Why do you think the county magistrate would do everything he could to keep you in the county? Isn't it because of his sister's face? He doesn't want his sister to suffer in our Shizi Village?"
From the three conditions proposed by Shen Jinyuan, Old Lady Wan knew that her eldest son and his family would never be able to return to Shizi Village.
So Old Mrs. Wan came up with the idea of dividing the family.
After hearing what Old Lady Wan said, Boss Wan was unable to refute it, but he had his own plans in mind.
In any case, he would not let the originally harmonious family become a mess because of his daughter-in-law. What is the difference between this and the first one? It's just that this one has a stronger backer and makes more trouble. If that's the case, he might as well not marry her.
Old Lady Wan was afraid that her words would make her eldest son think too much, so she comforted him a few more times: "Having said that, I think Shen is a good person. You just need to live a good life with her. If she asks to bring Huzi to the county town, you should agree. Don't treat her stepmother as an outsider, otherwise Shen will have some thoughts in her mind. As for Wanxi, forget it. I think this child is grown up now and has his own little thoughts. It's also good to let him follow his fourth uncle and learn to manage accounts."
Boss Wan felt better now.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's all go to bed. We have to get up early tomorrow to decorate the new house, and some of us are busy. We don't have many relatives, so we can just set up three or five tables tomorrow to show our respect. We can order the banquet from a restaurant in the county town, so that the third son's wife can have a rest and enjoy herself. We can also invite the neighbors to a banquet so that you can help each other in the future."
After Mrs. Wan had basically arranged tomorrow's work, the family went to rest.
The next morning, Old Mrs. Wan got up early. She wore a new dress, a new headband, and a silver hairpin on her head. She looked much more energetic and looked a bit like a wealthy old lady.
Others also put on new clothes and jewelry that they had never worn before.
"It's true that clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. With this outfit, she looks like a wealthy family." Wan Ersao joked as she looked at her sisters-in-law who were all dressed festively.
The faces of the sisters-in-law were also filled with festive smiles. They had never thought that one day they would be able to wear such bright and beautiful clothes and silver jewelry on their heads. When they were in Yangliu Village, not going hungry was their biggest wish.
Zhao helped to decorate the new house with several sisters-in-law from the Wan family, while little Fubao and his brothers had fun in the yard. This yard was much bigger than the one in their Shizi Village, and there were more places to play hide-and-seek, so the little guys had a lot of fun.
Xiao Fubao and Wanhu hid while the others looked for her. Xiao Fubao was always the last one to be found. Even if others saw her, they would take a detour to make her think she was hiding well.
But this time, little Fubao was hiding among the rockery. She was wearing a bright red jacket and trousers, two pigtails on her head, and two red velvet flowers on her head. She looked like a New Year picture doll.
Because the clothes were too conspicuous and in stark contrast to the gray stones of the rockery, Wan Wen could see his sister's little butt at a glance.
When little Fubao hid, it made people want to laugh. Others would lean against the corner with their backs facing outwards, always paying attention to the situation outside so as to find a chance to slip away, but she would face inwards, stick out her butt, and lie on the ground like a little frog, with her head resting on her two chubby hands.
Wan Wen and the others exchanged glances, and they slowly surrounded Xiao Fubao. She didn't notice anyone coming until they were behind the little girl.
Wan Hu couldn't hold back his laughter and burst out laughing. Little Fubao heard the laughter and got up from the ground with a wow. He raised his little hands and pretended to be a tiger in front of his brothers, trying to scare them, but Wan Wen picked him up and helped him brush off the dust on his body.
When little Fubao saw that he didn't scare anyone, he didn't get angry. He smiled, tilted his head back, and covered his mouth with his hands while laughing.
Several children were also amused by little Fubao's appearance and laughed.
Wan Wen put Xiao Fubao on the ground, and Xiao Fubao slipped away like a nimble fish and crawled back into the small pit where he had been hiding just now. This place was the junction of two rockery hills, and there was a concave part.
Little Fubao lay on the ground with his eyes wide open, staring at the gap in front of him.
Wan Wen was afraid that Xiao Fubao would dig out insects again, so he was about to pick up the little guy, but his attention was attracted by a shiny object.
"Brother, gold, gold." Little Fubao pointed at the shiny thing and shouted, shocking his brothers.
So several little heads immediately filled the small pit, and several butts faced outward, surrounding the pit and looking.
The second son of Wan couldn't find any children, and as the auspicious time was approaching, Shen wanted the eldest son of Wan to take little Fubao to welcome the bride. She liked little Fubao very much and wanted to share in his joy, so she told the eldest son of Wan in advance that he must take little Fubao with him.
Wan Laoer searched around and finally found a few children in the rockery in the backyard. He slapped the kids on the butt one by one.
The boys were so scared that they immediately stood up straight, but because they all looked up and were anxious, their heads bumped into each other, causing the boys to grimace in pain.
Wan Laoer immediately saw little Fubao, who was hidden by his brothers and was lying on the ground looking inside.
Wan Laoer immediately put on a doting smile and reached out to pick up little Fubao.
"My dear, what are you looking at? We have to go pick up the bride, and your uncle is waiting anxiously."
Wan Laoer was about to leave with Xiao Fubao in his arms, and Xiao Fubao quickly said, "Daddy, gold, there is gold."
When Wan Laoer heard the word gold, his eyes lit up and he felt like he was hit by a pie falling from the sky again. It was the same feeling he had when he dug out a jar of treasure from the ground.
"Where's the gold, Boa?"
Little Fubao quickly pointed his finger at the hole where he had just been lying.
The other boys immediately echoed, "Uncle, there is gold, we all saw it."
Wan Laoer immediately put Xiao Fubao down, squatted at the position where the few people had just been and looked inside. Sure enough, he saw a flash of golden light inside, but because of the dust blocking it, he could not see it clearly. He could only vaguely see a yellow light.
