Chapter 55: When one person succeeds,

everyone else will prosper After watching Deng Shirong leave, Zhang Dasao, who had been silent the whole time, looked at her sister-in-law with excitement and said, "Pingmei, I've said before that with your looks, you will definitely marry into a good family and live an enviable life. Now, isn't that true?"

Zhang Xiuping blushed as she said, "Sister-in-law, this hasn't even started yet, it's too early for you to say that!"

Mother Zhang, who was in a good mood, smiled and continued, "When you were young, a fortune teller passed by our village. I asked him to tell your fortunes. According to the fortune teller, you originally had a bad fate and lived a very hard life. However, when you are 19 years old, you will have an opportunity to change your fate. If you can seize this opportunity, you will be able to change your fate and enjoy a lifetime of happiness.

Now it seems that this opportunity to change fate should belong to Deng Yuntai!"

Zhang Xiuping was surprised and asked, "Mom, there is such a thing? Why haven't I heard of you doing this before?"

Mother Zhang smiled and said, "Originally I was skeptical about what the fortune teller said, so I didn't tell you. But today, with such a wealthy family coming to ask for marriage, I do believe what the fortune teller said."

Mrs. Zhang asked, "Mom, what about my family's Shouguo? What did the fortune teller say?"

Zhang's mother had five children. In addition to her daughter Zhang Xiuping, the other four sons were named Zhang Shouguo, Zhang Shoumin, Zhang Shoujun and Zhang Shoushan.

Zhang's mother recalled: "The fortune teller left only one sentence about the fate of Shouguo and his brothers."

Mrs. Zhang asked curiously, "What did you say?"

Zhang's mother was impressed and said, "If one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit!"

Mrs. Zhang was shocked when she heard this. Although she had not read many books, she could still understand this easy-to-understand sentence. Considering her sister-in-law's situation, she believed it without a doubt.

After all, if my sister-in-law married into a wealthy family like the Deng family, she would really be able to enjoy a lifetime of happiness. At that time, she would only need to take care of their family a little bit, and their family would not only live a wealthy life, but at least it would be much better than it is now.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang looked at her sister-in-law as if she were the God of Wealth, and said in an extremely attentive manner: "Sister Ping, you will be going to the man's house soon. It would be bad if you don't have a set of clothes to show off. I have a few feet of good cloth at the bottom of the box. It was the dowry given by my relatives when I got married. I have been saving it and have not been willing to use it. This time I will use it to make you a beautiful dress."

Zhang Xiuping waved her hands and said, "Sister-in-law, I appreciate your kindness, but you have been saving these few feet of cloth for several years and you are reluctant to use them. How can I use them?"

Knowing that her sister-in-law would be "invaluable" in the future, Mrs. Zhang was more generous than ever. She said in a positive manner, "Sister Ping, please don't be polite to me. This cloth won't be of much use to me. It's best to use it to make clothes for you. Anyway, if you have the ability in the future, just remember to help your brother."

After saying that, Mrs. Zhang didn't wait for her sister-in-law to refuse, and she forcibly dragged her sister-in-law to her room to get the best cloth from the bottom of the box!

Seeing this, Zhang's mother couldn't help but sigh that the eldest son's wife was quite smart.

…

Deng Shirong left Zhang's house, went to Longtan Street to eat a bowl of noodles, and then rode his bicycle back home.

When I got home, it was already 1:30 in the afternoon.

Seeing her father coming back, Deng Yunzhen asked while holding a cigarette holder for him, "Dad, how is it going? Have you found out everything about Sister Ping's family?"

Deng Shirong took the pipe, took out some tobacco and matches, and said with a smile, "I've found out everything!"

Seeing her father's smile, Deng Yunzhen knew that Sister Ping had definitely not mentioned her in-laws yet, so she smiled and said, "It seems like Sister Ping really has a chance to become my sister-in-law?"

Deng Shirong said: "It's almost right."

Deng Yunzhen had 100% confidence in her father's ability to get things done. Thinking of Sister Ping's beauty, she couldn't help but sigh, "My brother is so lucky!"

Deng Shirong stuffed the tobacco into the mouth of the pipe and said with a deep look in his eyes: "Your brother is such a good person, he deserves such a blessing!"

In his previous life, his eldest son was unlucky and passed away suddenly at the prime of his life. He was deeply saddened to see his son die before him. Now that he has been reborn, he naturally wants to find the best wife for his eldest son and let him live the happiest life. This is the only way to make up for the regret in his heart.

Although Deng Yunzhen didn't know what her father was thinking, she agreed with what he said that her brother was indeed a rare good man.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was already the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and it had been two and a half months since Deng Shirong was reborn.

On this day, after dividing the first batch of fields, the Naye Production Team began to divide the first batch of mountains.

In the previous life, the Naye Production Team only divided the mountains in the eleventh month of the lunar calendar. In this life, at the suggestion of Deng Shirong, the production team cadres moved the date forward by a full three months.

The division of mountains is different from that of fields. Some fields are fertile, while others are barren, so they should be matched as evenly as possible to be fair and just.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Mountains are only divided into size and distance, and the trees on the mountains are also considered a resource.

The fields can be decided by drawing lots, but the division of mountains cannot be decided by drawing lots, because it is impossible to divide the mountains into small pieces. If there are pieces here and there, it will not be a good thing for everyone.

Therefore, after soliciting everyone's opinions, the production team cadres divided the land according to the population of each household.

Areas with more people will be allocated larger mountains, and areas with fewer people will be allocated smaller mountains.

If there are not enough people in the family to share a complete mountain, you can only share a mountain with your close brothers.

Deng Shirong's family has eight people, which is a medium-sized family in the village. There are many families with more land than his family, and there are also many families with less land than his family, so their family was allocated a mountain of medium size.

And this mountain was not the one allocated to Deng Shirong's family in the previous life. When the production team divided the mountains in the previous life, Deng Yuntai had died young, so when the mountains were divided, there were only seven people in their family.

There are eight people in our family now, with one more person, so the mountain we are allocated is naturally a little bigger than in the previous life.

After the mountains were divided, the Naye Production Team was left with only some marginal fields and a few public mountains.

Deng Shirong immediately came to see the mountain allocated to his family. There were many trees on the mountain, but not many weeds. Because everyone in that era burned firewood, there were people going up the mountain to collect firewood almost every day. There was no chance for those weeds to grow and cover the entire mountain like in later generations!
