Chapter 115 Returning to My Mother's Home
Deep in the Daqing Mountains.
"Found it, this must be the entrance to the treasure."
Liu Xinyi and eight other people came to a cave.
"This cave is blocked by rocks. There must be some mechanism."
"No need to look for any mechanism, I brought explosives."
——
"What's that sound? Why is it so loud?"
"It seems to have come from Daqing Mountain."
"What happened to cause such a big commotion?"
The people in Dashitou Village were talking about it. Shen Ruoqing curled her lips. This was the sound of explosives. She didn't expect those people to bring explosives. But it didn't matter anymore. The treasure was already in her pocket. No matter how much they tried, it was useless.
Shen Ruoqing sat down calmly and picked up a piece of meat. It was wolf meat, the two that Mu Bai brought down. The Shen family only got eight taels of meat, but Han fried the wolf meat to make it very salty and fragrant, and the taste was quite good.
"Mom, when are we going to take the mallet to exchange for money?" Wang said.
"What hammer?" Shen Xiangdong asked.
"My sister-in-law went up the mountain and dug up a mallet."
"Why, you're already thinking about that mallet before you even finish your meal?" Old Lady Ji looked at Wang with sharp eyes, "This mallet was dug up by my little darling, so it belongs to my little darling. Are you still thinking about it?"
"Mom, this is unfair. The rest of us have to hand over 90% of our earnings to the family. Why doesn't my sister-in-law have to hand over every penny she earns? She doesn't have to work in the fields every day and relies on us brothers and sisters-in-law to support her. How can this be justified? The money from the sale of the mallet should also be handed over!" Wang secretly went to ask Doctor Li. Such a thick mallet would cost hundreds of yuan. How could she let her sister-in-law just take it for granted?
"Hanxi's mother, what nonsense are you talking about? How do you talk to your mother like that?" Shen Xiangnan tried to pull Wang, but was pushed away by Wang.
"Why am I talking nonsense? For the past ten years, my brothers and sisters have lived frugally, eating wild vegetable dumplings and wearing patched clothes. My sister-in-law, on the other hand, eats white flour and wears clothes without a single patch. She has never worked in the fields and never done housework. She is just like a capitalist's daughter, drinking our blood and eating our flesh. Since the family has set the rules, we should treat everyone equally. I won't bother about the past, but our second room must have a share of this club."
Old Mrs. Ji’s face was so gloomy that ink could drip out of it: “Second brother, this is what you have been thinking for so many years, right? If you have anything else that you are dissatisfied with, please tell me.”
"How much has our second wife suffered during this period? First, our eldest brother's leg was broken, and he wanted to stay at home for a long time. He invested a lot of money and couldn't work. During that time, the work was done by our second and third wives. Then, when we finally got a position as a tractor driver, we didn't give it to our second wife, but gave it to our third wife instead.
Now the third room still has a baby who costs a lot of money. At the beginning, my Hanxi didn’t even drink any milk powder, but the fourth girl drank milk powder every day. All the advantages were taken by the people in the first and third rooms, and our second room was wronged. Why?
I also gave birth to three golden grandchildren for the Shen family! And my family obviously has money and food, but my mother came to borrow food and refused to do so. Do you still regard me as the daughter-in-law of your Shen family? And..."
Before she could finish her words, Wang was slapped in the face.
Wang looked at Shen Xiangnan in disbelief: "You, you dare to hit me?"
"How can you think like that? Big brother was injured in a hunting accident. Did you eat less of the extra meat that was given to you? And the tractor driver was clearly decided by the third brother and I by drawing lots. Mom has not been unfair at all! You have nothing to feel wronged about? Little sister is the youngest in our family and I am happy to raise her. What's wrong with that? And if it weren't for little sister, would you have been able to eat cornmeal and rice in the past year? And would you have eaten meat every now and then? Would our family have had food to eat? And our Shen family doesn't owe your Wang family anything. Why should we use food to fill your Wang family's hole?" Shen Xiangnan was very angry. He didn't expect that his wife had always thought like this.
Old Lady Ji spoke up: "Wang, I am not dead yet. As long as I am alive, I will be the head of this family. If you are not satisfied, just go back to your Wang family."
Wang's eyes turned red with anger. "Okay, you can't tolerate me, right? Then I'm leaving!"
After saying that, he went back to his room to pack his things.
Shen Xiangxi pulled Shen Xiangnan's clothes and said, "Second brother, why don't you stop them quickly?"
"Let her go." Shen Xiangnan felt that he had lost face in front of his mother. He was so angry that he didn't want to persuade Wang to stay.
Wang finally left with Shen Hanxi in her arms.
Han did step forward and try to persuade her, but Wang ignored her and just left with the child and her bag.
Old Mrs. Ji's face looked very unhappy. This was Wang giving her the cold shoulder in public.
Because Du and Shen Xiangxi were divorced, there were already a lot of rumors in the village, saying that the Shen family had bad family traditions, otherwise why would they get divorced. Now Wang ran back to her parents' home, which put the Shen family's reputation on the fire.
Deep in the Daqing Mountains.
"Why is there nothing? How is this possible?" Liu Xinyi screamed. The empty cave in front of her made her emotionally devastated.

"Liu Xinyi, didn't you swear that all the treasures were here? Why is there nothing here?" Li Zeqian's expression also changed.
Xie Yan walked in and took a look. There was dust all around and there were marks of boxes on the ground. It seemed that a large number of boxes had been hidden here, but he didn't know why they disappeared when they arrived.
"The instrument cannot be wrong. We have clearly detected a large amount of things underneath. It should be treasure."
"Maybe we are going in the wrong direction? This is not the cave?" someone said.
"Yes, yes, we must have gone in the wrong direction. Let's go back to the original place and try again." Liu Xinyi said.
The group returned to the valley.
It’s just a pity that this time, no matter how they detected the equipment, it didn’t make any sound.
"What happened? Was there really an error in the instrument before?"
"I just looked at the direction of this valley. The cave is connected to the bottom of this valley. We may have arrived a step too late. The treasure has already been taken away."
"This is impossible!" Liu Xinyi said.
This is obviously not the case. In his previous life, Mu Bai had to wait for so many years before donating this treasure to the country. How could it be taken away now? There must be something wrong.
Li Zeqian's face darkened. "Liu Xinyi, you swore to us that you would help us find the treasure, so we came here with you. But after using explosives, we found an empty shell. How do you explain this? You didn't hide the treasure secretly and play tricks on us, did you?"
