Chapter 122 Entering the Mountain

When Wang and Shen Xiangnan returned home, Wang proudly showed off the silver bracelet on her hand to Han.

"Sister-in-law, my hands feel a little dry. How about you lend me your vanishing cream?"

Han glanced at the silver bracelet on Wang's hand and said with a smile, "Did your second sister-in-law get a new bracelet? It's really beautiful and suits you very well."

"Oh, you saw it. Actually, I don't really like it. My man bought it for me. It would be a waste if I don't wear it."

After showing off to her sister-in-law for a while, Wang was called into the house by Shen Xiangnan.

"What's wrong, father? Did you call me in to discuss the division of the family? Don't we have to go dig for bangchui tomorrow? I've made up my mind. We'll divide the family after we finish digging for bangchui." Wang was very proud. "We have agreed that I will be in charge of the money from now on. In fact, I think the way the tractor driver's position was divided was unfair, because the eldest brother didn't draw lots. We should draw again..."

Shen Xiangnan couldn't help but interrupt her: "Divide the family? I don't want to divide the family."

Wang tugged at Shen Xiangnan: "Dad, didn't we agree before? You'll split up the family when you come back. Did you lie to me before?"

Shen Xiangnan scratched his hair irritably: "Divide the family, divide the family, do you really want to divide the family? If we don't divide the family while our parents are still alive, do you want the people in the village to stab me in the back?"

Wang's face turned serious: "Then what you said before when you were at my house were all lies? Mom agreed. Does that mean your whole family teamed up to lie to me?"

Shen Xiangnan said: "Think about what the benefits of splitting up the family are. We have three children. Can we afford to support three children to go to school with just our contributions?"

Wang disagreed: "We still have the money from selling the mallet. With this money, it would be great if we could divide it up and live our own lives."

Shen Xiangnan actually wanted to persuade Wang not to split up the family, because Old Lady Ji had given him two choices, one was to split up their family, and the other was to divorce Wang.

After all, Wang was Shen Xiangnan's wife for more than ten years. Although Wang was petty and liked to take advantage of others, she gave birth to three sons for him. Shen Xiangnan did not want to divorce. But he did not want to separate the family either. If he did, wouldn't he be drowned by other people's spit?

"Mom doesn't want to divide the family, but to divide our second room. Although we won't lose money, we have to build a house after it is divided. I don't know if the money is enough to build a house. After the house is built, what about the children's tuition?"

"Then I don't want to live with your mother either." Wang had long wanted to be the master of the household. "Didn't your sister say she had a piece of land with mallets? Once those mallets are sold, they will surely be worth a lot of money. Don't bluff me now."

"I said no division, and that means no division!"

Shen Xiangnan slammed the table angrily and left the room.

As soon as I came out, I saw Shen Ruoqing.

Shen Ruoqing smiled and said, "Second brother, second sister-in-law insists on dividing the family, right?"

Shen Xiangnan said dejectedly: "Yes, you guessed it right. And, little sister, is there really a club land in the place you mentioned?"

Shen Ruoqing nodded affirmatively: "Yes, there is, but there is a big snake guarding that place, so it is not easy to dig."

What Shen Ruoqing didn't say was that if the Wang family left without permission and couldn't come back, it wouldn't be her fault.

"How big is the snake? If it's so dangerous, are our two families still going? Why didn't you tell us when we were at Wang's house?" Shen Xiangnan considered the danger first.

"I forgot to say it. Now that I think about it, it is indeed dangerous. Since my second sister-in-law has returned home, why don't we tell the team about this and let the team leader take people to dig." This was also what Shen Ruoqing had planned. The crime of digging into the socialist wall must be pinned on the Wang family.

"How about you go and inform the Wang family and tell them that our family feels that this is not a good thing to do and that it is an act of undermining socialism, and report this matter to the brigade."

Shen Xiangnan stared at his sister and said, "Little sister, I'm afraid you didn't plan to dig from the beginning, right? You were deceiving the Wang family from the beginning."

Shen Ruoqing laughed dryly twice and said nothing.

"What's the point of lying or not? This is what I mean. What did you say to your sister?" Old Lady Ji came over. "I've asked the eldest brother to notify the captain. Anyway, I've already told you that it's up to you whether you want to go to Wang's or not."

Old Mrs. Ji got angry when she looked at her useless second son. It was all her fault that the second son did not manage his wife well, which caused so many troubles.

Shen Xiangnan went to Wang's house again.

When only Mrs. Ji and Shen Ruoqing were left, Mrs. Ji sighed and said, "My dear, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Shen Ruoqing narrowed her eyes and smiled: "I knew that I couldn't hide anything from mom. I just concealed the fact that there was a big snake in that place, but it also depends on the greed of the Wang family. If they give up that piece of land, everything will be fine. I tried it, as long as I don't get close to that piece of land, the big snake will not chase me. Mom, do you think I'm too cruel?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It was impossible to be alright. Shen Ruoqing sprinkled snake and insect-attracting powder on the Wang brothers. If anyone dared to plot against them, the Wang family would be prepared for revenge. Of course, Shen Ruoqing would not tell Old Lady Ji about this.

Old Lady Ji shook her head: "My dear, I don't think so. Even if something really happened, it is the Wang family's own fault. It's just that I am old and no longer as good as you. And why didn't you tell us when you encountered such a dangerous thing?"

"It's not a big deal. I'm just afraid that you'll worry. I didn't intend to tell you about this, but you still worry." Shen Ruoqing was a little annoyed. She was wondering if she should use another method to solve the problem?

Captain Tang was very happy to know about the Bangchui land. Although he heard that there was a big snake guarding it, he could call a few more people, and he could call Zhou Feng. Zhou Feng had a hunting rifle in his hand, and no matter how big the snake was, two shots would surely make it obedient. After selling the Bangchui, he could buy a batch of fertilizer.

"Captain, my second brother's wife's family also knows about this. When we went to pick her up today, she let it slip. So my mother said that we should go and dig it up as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble. I'm afraid..."

Captain Tang slammed the table and said, "What are you afraid of? This is the collective property of our Zhongxing Brigade. Do the Wang family dare to dig it up secretly? If they dare to dig it up, I will send them all to the farm for reform! But what you said does make sense. Let's call a meeting now. Xiangdong, take my bike and go get Zhou Feng. We'll go into the mountains this afternoon."

Shen Xiangdong responded and went there quickly.

Captain Tang immediately convened a meeting, picked out a dozen young men, and waited for Zhou Feng to arrive before letting Zhou Feng take them into the mountains.

Of course, Shen Ruoqing also followed into the mountain as the guide.
