Chapter 209: 209 Pigs are Harder to Steal than Cows (First Update)

Ma Donghua clung to the gold teapot and refused to let go, Su Guisheng and Ma Donghua together, everyone in the Guaizi family had the attitude that they wouldn’t rest until they had their say today.

He Ximei, hands on her hips, thought this couple really believed acting shamelessly could solve the problem, "Guisheng, Donghua, you two put the things down first. Your elder brother said these are the things Su Dada left for Xiaofeng, how to deal with them should definitely wait for Xiaofeng to come back."

"You would say that." Guisheng disagreed, "What left for Xiaofeng, these are what my dad left for me and elder brother, I think we don’t even need to divide them, our family can just take the gold teapot and the jade bracelet, the other three items you can have, we don’t want them."

Five items, taking two isn’t too much, is it?

Look how fair he is, unlike elder brother, wanting to swallow everything himself.

"No way." Old Guaizi disagreed, "We’ll discuss this when Xiaofeng comes back, you guys can’t move these things."

"Elder Brother." Su Guisheng was really angry, and he was talking to his own brother, look at what he was doing, "You said these were left by Su Dada for Xiaofeng, where’s the proof? Empty talk isn’t evidence, I won’t believe it."

It had been three or four years since Su Dada died, to say it’s Su Dada’s is just based on saying it’s Su Dada’s, there should be proof.

...

Xiaofeng had made a trip to the Provincial City, brought some items from the city for Elder Guaizi and the others, and when she passed through the town, remembering how Xiaoqi said the space could grow vegetables, had Ye Cheng stop the car roadside while she went to the market to buy some seeds.

It was already the afternoon, and the crowd from the market had mostly dispersed, several stallholders, aunties and uncles, were beginning to pack up, preparing to go home.

The variety of seeds Xiaofeng bought wasn’t large, just radishes, cabbages, eggplants, green beans, and the like.

It couldn’t be helped, in a small town market, those were about all you could get.

"You’re buying so many seeds, planning to farm at home?" Ye Cheng glanced at the few small paper packets in her hand, teasing her.

Xiaofeng just smiled and noticed a little girl walking home from school, who also saw her, a bit embarrassedly walked over, "Sister Xiaofeng."

"Qiu Ying." Xiaofeng really liked the girl, who was quiet and polite, "Finished school."

"Yes, just got out."

Xiaofeng took out a bag of snacks from her pocket, "Here, take this."

Qiu Ying waved her hands, "No need, no need."

"Take it, it tastes good."

"Thank you." Qiu Ying hadn’t expected the other to offer her snacks, "Goodbye, Sister Xiaofeng."

Watching the little girl walk away, Xiaofeng felt somewhat envious, remembering her own past life, when she was a demure girl in junior high, unaware of the world’s hardships.

Xiaofeng had not let Ye Cheng take her to the village, she got off at Ye Cheng’s house and planned to take a shortcut home.

Grandfather Six saw Xiaofeng getting out of the car, his eyes squinting into slits, "Xiaofeng, you’re home."

Xiaofeng smiled sweetly at him, "Yes, went out for a bit to bring some goodies back for my dad, Grandfather Six, I brought some for you too, have a taste later."

"Alright, you’re always so considerate. This boy never brings me anything edible when he goes out." That’s why having a woman in the house is proper, a woman at home is attentive.

Xiaofeng glanced at Ye Cheng, who had already closed the car door and was walking into the house; not long after, he came out with a hoe, planning to go to the herb field.

Remembering the several dark figures she saw in the herb field last time, Xiaofeng felt a bit scared to take the shortcut again, "Grandfather Six, Ye Cheng, I’ll head back first."

Saying that, she carried her things and walked on the main road, not planning to take the shortcut.

Ye Cheng watched her retreating figure, silent.

Grandfather Six, watching Xiaofeng’s figure, his eyes crinkled with a smile: "Acheng, you two coming and going together lately kind of gave me the wrong impression."

Feels like someone finally wants my smelly boy.

"Didn’t you say we’re going back in half a month?" Ye Cheng replied, not pleased.

"Ah, right." What a pity, having to leave.

...

"Waiting for Xiaofeng to come back is fine, but these items must all be kept at our house. We need to keep an eye on them ourselves, because if you guys take them back and secretly sell them, Guisheng and I really won’t be able to clear our names," from afar, Xiaofeng could already hear Ma Donghua’s shrill voice.

"Enough, you two families have been quarreling here for half a day already." Uncle Three was quite headache-prone, "These items were found in Guaizi’s pigsty, even if we had to store them, they should be stored at Guaizi’s house, as for how your two families want to divide them, let’s wait for Xiaofeng to come back."

"I don’t agree." Uncle Two slowly looked at Uncle Three, "Putting them at Guaizi’s house definitely isn’t suitable, putting them at Guisheng’s house definitely isn’t right either, anyway, it’s still early, the fat lady has a tricycle, you go to the city now and bring Xiaofeng back."

Guisheng had a share in these things, so he naturally wanted to fight for Guisheng’s share.

"Xiaofeng is back," someone said without knowing who.

Xiaofeng was carrying a bag, which contained several packs of food.

She stood at the entrance of the village, looking at everyone gathered around her family’s pigpen, her eyebrows slightly curved. Maybe her family was preparing to slaughter a pig.

But that didn’t seem right; the two pigs at home weren’t that big yet, barely a hundred pounds each, and it wasn’t time for them to be sold. Would her dad and aunt really bear to kill them?

Everyone turned their heads and saw Xiaofeng indeed standing at the village entrance wearing a very nice top and holding a bag, which was also very attractive and definitely not available in the town.

"Xiaofeng, you’ve come back just in time." The third uncle’s wife saw Xiaofeng coming back after nearly three hours of a standoff, during which her brothers had almost come to blows several times.

"Auntie." Xiaofeng felt everyone’s eyes on her were more envious than usual. What had happened? "Has someone stolen our pigs?"

She had heard of cattle being stolen, but not pigs.

After all, pigs were much harder to steal than cattle.

"Your pigs are just fine," the third aunt said, taking Xiaofeng by the hand. "Su Dada, you remember him, right?"

Xiaofeng was slightly startled. No way, she had just recently used Su Dada’s name to strut around, and now Su Dada had shown up.

Su Dada had been dead for several years. When Su Dada died, the original owner seemed to have been quite saddened for a while. Yes, it seemed that Su Dada had taken great care of the original owner, just like with Grandfather, their relationship was good.

"I remember, what about it?"

"Your dad said that back then, Su Dada left you some nice things to be given to you when you got married. Your dad hid these things in the pigpen, and your aunt discovered them. Now Guisheng’s family is persistently demanding a share." It had to be said that Guaizi really could keep his cool. Despite being so poor, he had never thought of selling them.

Seeing Xiaofeng return, Guaizi suddenly seemed a bit flustered.

Everyone looked at Xiaofeng, their eyes full of scrutiny and inquiry, mostly wondering how Su Xiaofeng would handle this.

After all, she was just a young girl who had gotten such nice things, and anyone who could think would naturally keep them tightly in hand.

"Xiaofeng," He Ximei called out, "why did you come back just now?"

Xiaofeng handed the bag to He Ximei and glanced at Su Guisheng and his wife sitting on the ground, each holding a golden teapot and clutching a jade bracelet tightly, their expressions serious. Upon seeing Xiaofeng return, they scoffed.

"The matter was settled, so I naturally came back. What’s with uncle and aunt sitting on the ground? Don’t tell me uncle and aunt also want to spend some time in our pigpen and keep our pigs company."

They were just sitting at the entrance of the pigpen, not minding the stench at all.

After Xiaofeng finished speaking, the two pigs in the pigpen grunted twice, in full agreement.

Everyone watching this scene burst out laughing. The two pigs in Guaizi’s family were really amazing to match up so perfectly.

"Xiaofeng, say whatever you want to say. Your grandfather left these five items for your dad, and he insists they were left for you by Su Dada. You’re a girl, and sooner or later you’ll get married. These are the Su Family’s items and definitely can’t be taken with you when you get married." Su Guisheng said straightforwardly.

It was unheard of for a woman to take her family’s treasures with her when she got married; such a thing simply did not exist.

"Right, Xiaofeng, your dad doesn’t understand, but you graduated from high school, you’re an educated person. Although Guisheng was adopted, he is still your dad’s son and has the right to inherit your dad’s property," Ma Donghua said in a muffled voice.

There were no names written on these items. Who could prove that they were left for Xiaofeng by Su Dada?

Hearing Guisheng and his wife’s words, Xiaofeng’s gaze fell to the ground where there were three other items, rusty and seemingly not very valuable.

That’s probably why Su Guisheng and his wife hadn’t noticed them.

"Dad, what’s the deal with these items?" Xiaofeng was also somewhat puzzled inside. Su Dada had left her a dowry, and they were these substantial items.

The original owner probably hadn’t expected this.

Old Su Guaizi glanced at Xiaofeng, making sure her emotions were very stable, then slowly began, "Do you remember the first time Su Dada was seriously ill? That time, Su Dada called me to his sickbed, asking me to take good care of these items, saying they were to be used for your dowry and to be given to you when you got married."

"So..."

"I feared keeping them at home would bring great trouble, so I hid these items, to be taken out when you got married." He should not have thought about checking on them today. If not for that, Donghua wouldn’t have discovered them.

Xiaofeng looked at the items on the ground, deeply touched inside. So someone had indeed treated the original owner so well, "Besides these, did Su Dada leave anything in writing?"

Being a man who had come down from the battlefield, Su Dada certainly wouldn’t have left just a few words.
