"How is that possible?"
"This must be a mistake in the accounts."
"No way, how could the third son have paid so much money to Mom and Dad?"
Wang Daming and Wang Daqiang simply couldn’t believe their family had that much money.
If the family really had such a fortune, would they still be eating pickled vegetables and drinking sweet potato porridge every day?
Shen Nanchu looked at the two silent older brothers,
“Shouldn’t you ask your dear parents about this?”
“After all, your family isn’t just made up of the two of you.”
Shen Nanchu’s skill in stirring up trouble was absolutely top-notch.
Wang Daming and Wang Daqiang immediately thought of the family’s most successful son, the second son Wang Dasheng.
Every now and then, the family would send things to Wang Dasheng.
Wang Daming and Wang Daqiang, considering that the second son was now a city worker, hoped he might be able to help them out someday, so they’d turned a blind eye to it.
But they never expected that not only the grain, but even the money was being given by Mom and Dad to support the second son?
How could this be?
“Mom, Dad, you’re way too biased.”
“I’m your son, and so is the fourth brother. We take care of things at home!”
“You give money to the second son, so why not to us?”
What had been a united front among the Wang family suddenly turned into internal strife.
Wang Xiumei’s grandfather slammed his cane heavily on the ground again.
“I’m the old man here, you’re the kids, little brats. I’ll give my money to whoever I want.”
Oh man~~~
Even Shen Nanchu wanted to whistle.
Wang Xiumei’s grandfather spoke so perfectly!
Wang Daming and Wang Daqiang’s faces tightened as if they had constipation, their eyes flashing with anger.
“Dad, if you say that, then tomorrow you and Mom can go to the city to enjoy yourselves with the second son!”
“Yeah, isn’t living in the city much better than this rundown countryside?”
Wang Xiumei’s grandfather raised his cane, ready to strike these two “dutiful sons,” while Wang Xiumei’s grandmother cursed loudly at the two daughters-in-law.
The whole courtyard was a lively mess.
Wang Jianguo was too lazy to get involved.
Shen Nanchu wouldn’t bother either.
Let the bullets fly a little longer!
When the time seemed right, Wang Jianguo finally spoke up to stop the chaos.
“Everyone, stop.”
The courtyard finally returned to silence.
Wang Jianguo looked at Wang Xiumei’s grandfather,
“Uncle, what do you think we should do about this?”
“What to do? No money, just one life. All of you get lost.”
Wang Xiumei’s grandfather was seething with anger.
“Alright then! Xiumei, didn’t you hear what your grandpa said? Hurry up and pack your things and leave smoothly.”
Shen Nanchu deliberately twisted Wang Xiumei’s grandfather’s words.
“You, you, you…”
Wang Xiumei’s grandfather was so furious he almost beat his chest.
“Fine, since you’ve already made up your mind, I’ll help you divide the family property.”
Wang Jianguo immediately added,
“By the way, the money you owe Dazhi…”
“Not a single cent.”
Wang Xiumei’s grandmother snapped sharply.
“Whoever dares take a penny from me will have to step over my body.”
Alright then.
You have your dirty tricks, I have mine.
Shen Nanchu said to Wang Jianguo,
“Village chief, Wang Dazhi’s family is very filial. Even if the family splits, they still care about the two elders.”
“Every month, during holidays and festivals, the money owed to the elders must be paid.”
This time, Wang Xiumei’s grandparents definitely wouldn’t think Shen Nanchu had good intentions.
And sure enough, the next second,
“Just deduct it from the 6,175 yuan!”
“All sons are treated equally; whatever the others give, they give the same.”
Shen Nanchu’s words received strong backing from Wang Jianguo.
“I’ll write all this into the family division letter later.”
“No, I don’t agree.”
Wang Xiumei’s grandparents still tried to resist desperately.
“Whether you agree or not, you have to. Otherwise, I’ll call the police station leaders over to help with the division.”
There was a threatening tone in Shen Nanchu’s words.
“Y-you, stop scaring people.”
Wang Xiumei’s grandparents were simple, honest farmers who wouldn’t dare to deal with the police.
“It’s just a family division, right?”
“Divi-division, division.”
Some sensible villagers had already gone to the village committee to get paper, pens, and red ink.
Wang Jianguo gave no chance for Wang Xiumei’s grandparents to back out. He picked up the pen and quickly wrote the family division letter.
It was settled!
Wang Dazhi and his family of three were finally separated out.
Even though they were penniless, smiles still graced their faces.
With everything seemingly resolved, Shen Nanchu checked the time and headed back to eat her egg fried rice.
After the verbal sparring, she felt an unprecedented hunger.
She finished a huge bowl of egg fried rice in one go.
It wasn’t that the egg fried rice was especially delicious, but it was the only thing she could get down.
Why?
Simply put, Pei’s Mother and Pei Yunxi’s cooking skills were limited—actually, they had none.
Come to think of it, Pei Zhengnian really was quite talented in the kitchen.
When would she get to enjoy a proper meal?
Shen Nanchu quietly opened her system’s exchange interface.
Accumulated Disgust Points: 1,280
Sigh!
Lately, the little perks have been handed out a bit too often; the disgust points are burning fast!
Without the male and female leads around, the disgust points wouldn’t budge.
The villagers of Wang Family Village had almost been drained dry of disgust points by her; there weren’t many left.
At this rate, would she run out completely?
No, she had to be frugal and think long-term.
There were still so many things left to redeem!
But why was the little one in her belly so picky?
Not long after finishing her meal, Shen Nanchu felt a strange craving again—she wanted a bag of chips, preferably cucumber-flavored.
A soft touch brushed against her feet—it was Meiqiu.
Meiqiu could already open his eyes.
His entire body was black, and his little eyes were shiny black too.
Such a tiny dog, utterly adorable.
Troublesome, but no complaints.
Shen Nanchu had been taking care of him for over ten days, but honestly, she was running out of steam.
If only there was a pet daycare!
And preferably a free one.
Thinking of this, a faint glint of slyness flickered in Shen Nanchu’s eyes.
“System, are you there?”
“Here, dear host.”
The system’s voice had grown overly flattering.
“Are you busy all day?” Shen Nanchu asked casually.
The system thought Shen Nanchu was showing concern and was deeply touched. “Dear host, don’t worry. I’m never busy. Whenever you need me, I’m at your service.”
That was exactly what Shen Nanchu wanted to hear.
“Alright, I’m a bit busy these days. You take care of Meiqiu during the day and night for now.”
What?
The system suspected its speaker was clogged with dust—it thought it was hallucinating.
Taking care of a dog?
“No way?”
Shen Nanchu raised an eyebrow slightly.
“Okay, okay, okay.”
This is the host’s beloved system—how could it say no? That would be like slapping itself in the face.
In the end, the system successfully got promoted to the coal ball’s administrator.
Hehe~~~
Once accepted, it’s not so easy to back out.
A sly smile tugged at the corner of Shen Nanchu’s mouth.
……
“Is Shen Zhiqing around?”
“Pei Zhengnian called.”
???
Why is the male lead calling her???
