102 Unfair
“What a big bird!” Little Ah Yu was a little frightened.
Qin Huai walked over and stood between the eagle and Little Ah Yu. His gaze on Wang Wulang was a little cold.
“Kid, why are you staring at me? Don’t block the way. I still have to bring Little Sister Ah Yu home,” Wang Wulang said unhappily.
“How did you catch such a huge eagle? Where did it come from?” Hu Xiaotong was also curious. Although this place was in the mountains, there were very few eagles here.
“I don’t know. We were flying a kite over there when an eagle suddenly rushed over, as if it wanted to rush into our village. Then, the lamb rushed over and caught it.” Wang Wulang was not prepared to hide this.
The entire village knew how powerful their little lamb was.
“Wow, the lamb is so awesome!”
Little Ah Yu flattered him as usual.
The lamb following Wang Wulang discovered Little Ah Yu and ran to her side bit by bit. It lowered its head and wanted to lift her up on its back.
“Let’s go back first. Second Uncle and Grandpa’s legs have been treated, right? Let’s go back and take a look.” Wang Wulang looked at the eagle in his hand. “We can ask them how to raise an eagle.”
Hence, everyone left.
Hu Xiaotong did not mind. However, when he walked into the house again, he realized that the person who was wrapped up like a dumpling had sat up.
A person who could only lie down suddenly sat up, almost scaring Hu Xiaotong away.
“Don’t you want the bones in your body anymore?” Although he was not a doctor yet, Hu Xiaotong still had the heart of a doctor. Seeing that the patient did not cherish his body, he was a little unhappy.
“What did you catch? Is it an eagle? What kind of eagle is it?” Blood Thirteen hurriedly asked.
Hu Xiaotong looked at him suspiciously. “Why are you asking this? Did you raise it?”
Blood Thirteen wanted to say yes, but he was afraid that this young man in front of him would start to suspect his identity.
Who knew if there would be crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the village?
If they found out that he was an assassin and reported him to the officials, it would take a while for him to escape from prison. Wouldn’t that delay things?
“No, I’m just curious.”
“It’s just an ordinary eagle. Lie back down quickly. If you sit up like this, you’ll probably need to lie down for another month.”
Blood Thirteen: “…”
He was about to die of anxiety. His only communication tool seemed to have been captured. He did not know if the Branch head and the others had followed him over.
Otherwise, if he just lay there for a few months, everything would be too late!
Wang Wulang and the others got near to Old man Wang’s house, but they realized that the atmosphere at home was a little strange, so they chased away the little friends who wanted to watch the commotion and approached in fear.
Old man Wang’s family was currently discussing the newly bought land, especially when they learned that their family did not gain just one or two mu of land, but a total of 48 mu of fertile land.
What kind of concept was this?!
There were 18 people in their family. Eliminating the mountainous areas, they only had 15 mu of land that could be farmed. The production of food was therefore very small. An acre of land at most produced one stone of grains. When the grains were dehusked, the weight would be even less.
That was because their land was not very fertile. If it was fertile land, their production would increase by at least more than fifty percent.
Now that there were 48 mu added to their 15 mu of land, it meant everyone would be able to eat their fill.
Once they had 100 acres of fertile land, their family would be promoted to a landlord family!
How could it be so fast?
“Mother, let’s not talk about how so much land came about. Why did you give all the land to the fourth branch?” No matter how magnanimous Madam Zhang was, she still felt that this distribution was really unreasonable.
There was so little land at home to begin with. When the time came, be it the separation of the family or the distribution of land to the brothers a hundred years later, Madam Zhang’s branch would only obtain very little land.
Now that there were dozens of mu more, every family thought they each could get more. Yet in the end, they were all given to the fourth branch. How could they agree to that?
Not to mention Madam Zhang, even Wang Chuanfu, who had always maintained a generous image, felt a little unhappy.
Believing that their parents had a reason was one thing. Having their own opinions on such unfair treatment was another.
Seeing that the children at home had returned, Old Madam Wang first sent Liu Shi to the kitchen to cook pancakes for them and asked the children to stay.
As for the eagle in Wang Wulang’s hand, they only gestured for Wang Wulang to tie it up in the woodshed for the time being.
After he left, Old Madam Wang said, “Don’t you want to know how our land came about? Alright, I’ll tell you. Ah Yu got it.”
Old Madam Wang said that Little Ah Yu had brought the boys at home to the back of the mountain and dug up a type of expensive medicinal herb. All of the land was bought with the money she had gotten from selling the medicinal herbs.
“But Ah Yu didn’t dig those medicinal herbs alone. Our children all followed her, so we should get a share too.” Madam Zhang couldn’t figure it out no matter what. “Mother, land is a huge matter. It’s impossible for us to just muddle through it like this! I can understand if the land is added to the main branch, but now you’re only giving it to the fourth branch. Aren’t you being too biased!”
“What you said makes sense,” Old Madam Wang said.
The people from the Wang Family heaved a sigh of relief. Madam Zhang’s words just now were really a little aggressive. As a daughter-in-law, she should not have spoken to her mother-in-law like this.
However, in the next moment, Old Madam Wang continued, “When was I not biased? Did you know me from the first day? If I want to split this land like this, I can!”
Old man Wang, who could feel everyone’s pressure, opened his mouth to speak. Old Madam Wang stopped him with a look and said, “I know what you’re thinking. The reason why I registered the land under our fourth son’s name is not because I’m partial to him, but because of Ah Yu. As for you saying that Wulang and the others were also involved, tell me, if not for Ah Yu, what could they have found? Would it be considered as donkey dung or truffle?”
“In addition, although this land is registered under the fourth branch, the field will belong to all of us. Before your father and I break up, no one can have any ideas about this land, not even Old Fourth!”
Among the four brothers of the Wang Family, only Wang Chuangui could read and write. When the three brothers received the document, they only glanced at it casually and roughly recognized what was written. But, they did not finish reading it.
Therefore, they did not know that the land outside the village was not even registered under their Fourth Brother’s name. Instead, it was directly under Little Ah Yu’s name.
Old Madam Wang did not intend to expose this point.
“Don’t talk nonsense with me about anything else. I’ve already decided on this matter. If you’re really unconvinced, we’ll split the family up. I will follow Chuanman, and your father will follow you all.”
Old man Wang instantly shouted, “Old woman, how can you leave me behind? I want to follow you too. I’ll follow Chuanman too!”
Wang Chuanfu knelt on the ground and said in fear, “Father, Mother, let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s not talk about it anymore! We’ll listen to Mother. We’ll register the land under whoever Mother likes. We won’t split the family, okay?”
Their Wang Family had always been harmonious and it was usually very difficult for them to fight. This time, it was indeed because there were too many plots of land involved.
Old Madam Wang looked at Madam Zhang. “What about you? Do you have any objections? Do you want to give away your share now?”
Wang Chuanyuan and Madam Zhang also knelt down.
“Mother, we were wrong!”
“Don’t be angry. It’s my fault!”
