Chapter 5 Catching a Nest of Rabbits

"Then, aunt, how do you think we should divide the land? Should we give our share to your family?" Sheng Wanqiu rolled her eyes.

"You little kid, do you have the right to speak here?" Liu Juan scolded immediately.

"What's wrong? Why can't I, Wanqiu, speak? The second son is gone, and she is the head of this family. Liu Juan, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking?"

"Aren't you just worried that after a hundred years this land will fall into the hands of Wanqiu and her group?"

"I'm telling you, I still have two daughters. After I die, whoever wants this land can pay for it. The money from the sale will be divided equally between my two daughters!"

"The daughters don't have to divide the house. After all, this is the property earned by your father and I. I can give it to whoever I want!" Mrs. Sheng had a fierce face and spitted directly at Liu Juan's face.

"Mom, how can a married girl share her parents' money? There is no such rule!" Liu Juan shouted loudly and pinched Sheng Dashan who was silent.

"Just because you favor boys over girls doesn't mean everyone is the same as you. You treat your three daughters as if they were not human beings. Do you think others are the same as you?"

"You want to share your mother's money, can you get it?"

"Boss! If she keeps nagging, divorce her and I'll find you another young girl!" Mrs. Sheng got angry.

When Liu Juan heard that her mother-in-law wanted to divorce her, she dared not say anything. Her family was similar to her second brother's family. She estimated that if she was divorced, her father would be able to marry her off again for money the next day.

This family was divided like this!

Mrs. Sheng was also a decisive person who did things in a hurry. In the afternoon, she asked someone to go to the mountain to cut bamboo and weave it into a bamboo fence, which directly separated the courtyard wall from the yard.

The yard was separated by a bamboo fence, and the small kitchen and the pigpen were directly separated by her grandmother, and the things were divided among the several families.

The sound of my aunt-in-law Liu Juan throwing things and banging things came from the yard next door. Although the sound was not loud, everyone in the yard could hear it clearly.

"Grandma, I'm taking Huai'an out for a walk!"

She ate some whole grain steamed buns at noon, and one bite almost broke her front teeth.

Sheng Wanqiu felt uncomfortable after not eating meat for this meal. She looked at the towering mountains in the distance. As someone with two superpowers, she didn't believe that she couldn't get meat to eat.

Sheng Wanqiu took Sheng Huaian out like this. Sheng Huaian considerately carried a backpack with him. He thought his elder sister was going to pick wild vegetables, but he didn't know that his elder sister had completely changed her mind and could not live without meat.

The two siblings talked as they walked, and Sheng Wanqiu finally realized that the dynasty she was in was called Dai Viet. She racked her brains but couldn't remember what dynasty it was. It didn't seem to be in any history books, so it was probably some imaginary dynasty.

The villagers' clothes seem to be similar to those of the Song Dynasty. It doesn't matter. I might as well make the best of it. Since I'm alive, I might as well live well. At least here the mountains are beautiful, the waters are clear, and the air is fresh. It's much easier to survive than in the end of the world.

"Sister, are we going up the mountain? Grandma won't let us go up the mountain, saying there are wolves and big beasts there!"

Seeing Sheng Wanqiu walking forward as if she was going to go up the mountain, he hurried to dissuade her.

If his grandmother knew that they went up the mountain, she would definitely hit them on the head with a stick when they came back.

"Wolf?!" Sheng Wanqiu's eyes lit up.

"If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, how would grandma know? Do you want to tell on me?" Sheng Wanqiu looked at Sheng Huaian with suspicion.

"Sister, I won't tell anyone. I'm just afraid there might be danger on the mountain." "As long as you're obedient and follow me, I'll guarantee you'll have meat to eat and there won't be any danger. Don't worry!"

After Sheng Wanqiu finished speaking, she took Sheng Huaian's hand and dragged him up the mountain.

Sheng Huaian's little face turned red instantly. Looking at his sister holding his hand, he felt a little embarrassed. This was the first time his sister held his hand.

He felt that his sister was acting strange today, but he couldn't tell what the feeling was. Maybe it was because their mother passed away and her sister was upset.

It seems that there are still some brave people who go up the mountain. A small path has been trampled out on the grass, and the trees on both sides of the mountain path are lush and green.

The closer she got, the fresher the air felt. Sheng Wanqiu took a few deep breaths!

The two kept walking until Sheng Wanqiu saw some messy animal footprints in the grass, and then she stopped.

"Huaian, can you climb trees?" Sheng Wanqiu turned around and asked Sheng Huaian.

"Yes! Sister, have you forgotten that we climbed trees to get bird eggs before?" Sheng Huaian's voice was full of excitement. Could it be that his sister wanted him to climb trees to get bird eggs? Their grandmother didn't allow them to climb trees before, for fear that they would fall and break their legs.

"Okay, you wait on the tree. I'll go take a look around and be back soon." Sheng Wanqiu asked him to wait on the tree because she was afraid that it would be unsafe for him to be here alone as a child.

"Sister, let me go with you. I'm worried about you being alone!" When Sheng Huaian heard her say this, he quickly expressed his willingness to stay with her.

"Stop talking nonsense, why are you following me! Hurry up and get up here, stop talking nonsense!" Sheng Wanqiu glared at him. Sheng Huaian was still a little scared. He really couldn't stand his sister's aggressive behavior, so he decided to listen to her.

Seeing the young boy climb up the tree using his hands and feet, Sheng Wanqiu nodded in satisfaction.

"Sister, come back early. If you encounter danger, remember to run fast!" Sheng Huaian shouted to Sheng Wanqiu who had already walked away.

"I understand, don't worry!" Sheng Wanqiu didn't even turn her head, but just waved her hands in the air a few times as a response.

After getting rid of the little tail behind her, Sheng Wanqiu soon found a nest of rabbits after her carpet search. She was so happy that her eyes narrowed!

He snapped his right fingers and released a tiny bolt of lightning, which instantly wiped out the rabbit family.

There were seven rabbits in total, two big and five small. The big ones weighed four or five pounds, and the small ones weighed two or three pounds. They were probably sleeping in the nest. Now, the whole family was executed.

After putting the rabbit into the backpack, Sheng Wanqiu walked back with the backpack on her back. On the way, she found a pepper tree. Since it was not yet the season for the peppers to mature, she could only pick some leaves and flowers. When they were ripe, she would pick all the peppers.

Sheng Huaian saw from a distance that his sister looked very comfortable, with a piece of dogtail grass in her mouth.

"Sister, why are you back so soon?"

"Huaian, we're having rabbit tonight!" Sheng Wanqiu winked at Sheng Huaian playfully.

"Is this true?" Sheng Huaian jumped down from the tree, trotted over and looked into the backpack.
His eyes widened in shock.

Was all this caught by his sister?
"There are seven in total, two big ones and five small ones. I'll cook tonight and make sure you all have something delicious!"

"Let's go! Let's go down the mountain!" Sheng Wanqiu was already a little impatient.
