Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

48 Back Home
Ms. Fang took 40 wen out of the 80 wen, and the rest would be shared between Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao.

Taotao accepted the share too. She said happily, “Brother, I can keep your share for you, and you can ask me for money when you need it!”

They all laughed.

Shao Taotao pursed her lips and said, “We have had such a big harvest today. Dad is definitely going to ask us to share it with Second Uncle and Third Uncle again, sigh…”

Eldest Uncle was nice in everything except for the fact that he kept thinking that he should take care of the other sections of the family. After so many years, the whole family already gave up trying to persuade him.

The reason that half of the money earned by each person in the first section of the family should belong to the individual’s personal property and only needed to be handed over to the whole family, was because it was a rule set by Ms. Fang decisively. In this way, some money could still be kept in the family.

Eldest Uncle, who was a father, would naturally not ignore his children and Ms. Fang, who was a mother, was considerate of her children, so Eldest Uncle would not object to this practice.

But Second Uncle and Third Uncle once said that it was a rule that would spoil the children, and that the money would ruin children’s future. But Ms. Fang insisted upon that and the discussion was dropped.

But when Qiao Xuan came to the family, she had attacked the second and third sections so that she became such an inspiration for Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao.

Actually, Qiao Xuan was a trigger to the already existent grudge. They had not been pleased by the actions of the second and the third sections’ behaviors for a long time.

Qiao Xuan smiled. “That works. You don’t have to share everything that you have earned.”

Shao Taotao could not help but say. “Fifth Sister-in-law, they would come to flip through our stuff!”

Qiao Xuan’s face sank. “We won’t allow this to happen again!”

Shao Xiaoqi’s eyes brightened as he nodded. “Fifth Sister-in-law is right!”

They told the others that they only got two wild roosters and one rabbit.

Then, they hid everything else when they returned home.

There was almost no secret in the family that could be kept from others.

Shao Xiaoqi had a hobby of hunting wild animals, which was known to everyone.

Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma had always benefited from this hobby of his, so they kept prying about where Shao Xiaoqi went, every day.

As long as Shao Xiaoqi went into the mountain, they would surely come to visit their place.

Today was no exception.

Two wild roosters and one rabbit. They were definitely going to take them.

“Qi, you have hunted a lot today!”

“Look at the fat wild rooster! The wild rabbit looks good too!”

Qiao Xuan’s lips pursed. She was not going to allow those greedy people to get even one thing out of the family. But that was not how the first section of the Shao Family worked.

They had to take it slow.

Qiao Xuan grabbed the largest wild rooster and said, “Qi, you have done a great job today, we will keep this wild rooster. Second Aunt-in-law and Third Aunt-in-law, you can share the wild rooster and the rabbit.”

Shao Yunduan smiled. This wife of his was so evil.

Shao Xiaoqi was the one who hunted the animal, so it was totally reasonable that they kept the largest wild rooster.

After all, they were giving away the wild rabbit that was larger and had much more meat, weren’t they?

Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma were startled. They could not help but reach out for the rabbit at the same time.

“What are you doing? This is mine!”
