A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 108 The Giant 'Turtle'

After listening for a while, everyone was speechless at the old woman next door.

Just because her eldest daughter-in-law ate chicken soup yesterday, and because she had a conflict with Grandma Shen and Yun Jiao, she took her anger out on her daughter-in-law who had just given birth.

They openly and covertly insulted us, calling us traitors, speaking sarcastically, and then withholding our food.

They said she'd already eaten her fill from other people's food, so why would she need to eat theirs?

He scolded his eldest daughter-in-law, who had just given birth, until she cried.

Last night, Shen Jiang couldn't stand it anymore and had a fight with his mother. This morning, the old woman gave her younger daughter-in-law two eggs, but didn't prepare any food for her older daughter-in-law.

And that's how this whole mess that Shen Jiang is making came about.

"I just want to ask, am I really your son? Did you pick me up? I've tolerated your favoritism, but I thought you were sexist because you didn't like my wife before."

But now that my wife has given me a son, you're still the same, even more resentful of her. Even while pregnant, she took care of the family, looking after you and your brother and sister-in-law. What did she do to you that you dislike her so much?!

Shen Youcai smirked, "Brother, you're wrong about that. When has Mom ever been biased? My wife is just..."

"you shut up!"

Even an honest person can be terrifying when they get really angry.

Shen Youcai was so shocked by his older brother's shout that he didn't dare to say a word.

His wife stood next to him and pinched him several times, but he didn't budge.

"Coward!"

She muttered something under her breath, but didn't dare to step forward and say anything.

Old Mrs. Li was about to throw a tantrum when Old Man Shen, the usually silent head of the household, spoke up.

"Have you decided?"

Shen Jiang nodded and hugged his two daughters.

"Father, I've made up my mind. We're separating from the family."

Old Mrs. Li shrieked, "I disagree!"

"Shut up." Old Man Shen was usually quiet, but when he got really tough, even Old Lady Li was startled.

"If we let you keep causing trouble like this, the eldest and second eldest will eventually become estranged from us."

Old Li sighed, "Go and call the village chief. Since we're going to divide the family property, let's just divide it all up."

Only the third son's family and Granny Li were unhappy; everyone else was happy.

Old Mrs. Li was unwilling to accept this: "Eldest son and second son, have you thought this through? Your third brother is going to work in the city soon. If you really separate the family, don't expect the third brother to help you."

Shen Jiang: "We don't need his help. Our family will work hard honestly and make a good living."

Hoping for the third child? Ha... maybe in the next life.

Even if the third son's family becomes rich in the future, it will have nothing to do with him.

Yun Jiao and the others watched from beginning to end, even after they finished their noodles, they still held their bowls and watched for a while.

"Let's go, let's go. There's nothing more to see. We still have to go pick corn."

It's more important to have our own work to do.

Old Mrs. Li glared at them fiercely, feeling extremely embarrassed and angry that they had made a fool of themselves.

But who cares about her?

Carrying the things they had prepared beforehand, Yun Jiao and her family went up the mountain again.

Yun Jiao was thinking about the hawthorn tree and the bamboo fungus eggs left behind in the bamboo forest where she had previously picked bamboo fungus. She wondered if she could pick some more bamboo fungus if she went there now.

Today, she and Yun Xiaojiu went into the woods to find things on their own as usual. Yun Xiaowu and the others also wanted to come, but they were forced to work by the adults.

"There's bamboo fungus!"

There were only about ten flowers, not as many as yesterday.

The two of them were quite satisfied.

"Ninth Brother, hawthorn."

"That's sour, it doesn't taste good."

Yun Jiao: "Take it home and make candied hawthorns."

Yun Xiaojiu: "Okay, let's go pick hawthorns now."

Yun Jiao is a hopeless tree climber, but Yun Xiao Jiu is not.

Although he wasn't as good at climbing trees as Yun Xiaowu and Yun Xiaoqi, he could still climb up.

Of course, the most powerful one is the cat boss.

Before Yun Xiaojiu had even climbed half a meter high, Cat Boss darted up the tree in a few swift movements.

Wow... amazing!

Yun Jiao looked on with envy, and the little seal clapped.

The cat boss's tail wagged even more enthusiastically.

Although the cat boss climbed the tree, its paws couldn't reach the hawthorns.

So she just stayed on the branch and watched Yun Xiaojiu pick the fruit. Yun Jiao picked them up below.

After picking a basket of hawthorns, it was too hot, so Yunjiao wanted to go play on the other side of the river.

There is a river in Shenjiazhai, where crops are grown every year, and the surrounding villages all rely on the water from this river to irrigate their farmland.

The river is quite deep and wide, but the current is not rapid.

After taking off her shoes and rolling up her pants, Yun Jiao stepped into the water and felt completely comfortable.

The eldest cat watched from afar, not wanting to get wet.

"Ninth Brother, there's fish."

It's a big fish.

It was at least as long as her arm; it was a big black fish.

Without a second thought, Yun Jiao plunged into the water and swam towards the river fish.

Yun Xiaojiu wasn't worried at all; they weren't afraid of seawater, so why would they be afraid of river water?

When Yun Jiao surfaced again, she was holding a struggling fish in both hands.

It weighs about three or four pounds.

"Basket, Ninth Brother, quickly bring the basket over."

He threw the fish in: "I see there's something else down there, I'll go catch it."

After saying that, she went back into the river.

Yun Xiaojiu craned her neck to look around: "Jiaojiao, did you catch anything? What is it?"

The area where Yun Jiao dived into was already the deepest part of the river.

People here don't dare to swim there on ordinary days, and they don't allow their children to go near it.

This time, Yun Jiao took almost ten minutes to come up. Yun Xiao Jiu had already swum over and searched for a while, but unfortunately, his diving skills were not as good as his sister's.

Just as he was about to cry in despair, Yun Jiao finally surfaced.

He was holding a big thing in his hand.

The reason she took so long was to pry this big guy out.

"Brother, Ninth Brother, look! I caught a huge turtle!"

This thing is called a turtle, right?

Yun Jiao thought uncertainly.

Turtles in the sea are called sea turtles, and turtles in the river are called tortoises, or sometimes turtles.

When Yun Jiao dragged the 'turtle' ashore, Yun Xiao Jiu exclaimed in surprise.

"This is even bigger than our turtle."

That's right, and the shell even has a light gold color.

How did you find it?

Yun Xiaojiu excitedly circled the 'turtle' a few times.

Yun Jiao proudly said, "I saw it move."

The leader of the cats nearby was attracted and jumped onto the big guy's back, curiously scratching at it with its paws.

"Should we take this big guy back with us?"

Yun Jiao shook her head: "No."

Yun Jiao could sense some of the big guy's emotions; he had a strong will to survive.

This means that this creature has developed some intelligence.

She was just curious and brought this guy up to take a look, and also to let her brother see such a big freshwater turtle.

How many years have you lived?

"Are you called Wang Ba (turtle)?"

Yun Jiao squatted in front of this big guy and mumbled a question.

'have no idea.'

No...no...that's it.

'#@……#@'

The answers were slow and halting, like those of a toddler learning to speak.

Yun Jiao still couldn't understand many of the things.

Yun Jiao stroked her chin, wondering if this was the dialect spoken in the river.

"Oh, it's a pity that your father and mother aren't here, otherwise they could have seen you too."

"Let's go back, let's go back. I'm going to grab something else."

Having received confirmation, the large golden turtle dragged its heavy body and struggled to crawl into the river.
