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

Chapter 107 The Neighbors Are Making a Dividend

Yun Jiao glanced at the man as she left.

She didn't lay a hand on the elderly or pregnant women, not out of respect for the elderly or care for the pregnant women, but mainly because she was afraid that she might hurt them if she didn't control her strength, and that her family would pay the price later.

She didn't want that.

But that man is a perfect target for revenge and a minor punishment.

He was Old Lady Li's favorite son and that woman's husband.

Hehe...

After returning home, Grandma Shen only complained for a while and then didn't take the matter next door to heart.

The moon was exceptionally large tonight, and the whole family was in the yard shelling corn and enjoying the cool air.

Everyone was chatting, but their hands weren't moving very fast.

"You all know Shen Cuimei got divorced, right? She was the first person in our area to get a divorce."

Shen Yunlian genuinely didn't know: "Are you really divorced?"

Grandma Shen nodded: "Yes, her husband's affair caused quite a stir last time, so no one has been arrested yet. Otherwise, people like Shen Jiantong and Widow Zhao, who were involved in promiscuous relationships, would have been arrested."

Yun Jiao perked up her ears, not expecting there to be a sequel to this story.

Shen Yunlian said, "It's better to get a divorce. What's the point of having a man like that? He's useless, all he does is drink, and he even beats people when he's drunk. How did he manage to get the children?"

"How else can we divide it? It's staying at the man's house."

It's good enough that we can get a divorce; the man will definitely not let the children leave with him.

Aunt Shen curled her lip: "That idiot Shen Cuimei didn't want a divorce. It was her parents who couldn't stand it and forced her to get a divorce."

"Shen Cuimei is just too proud. Her parents have advised her to get a divorce, but she feels ashamed and suffers for the sake of saving face. She's the one who lives her life. What's wrong with a few words from others? Does she care about the punches that hit her?"

Shen Yunlian nodded.

However, life isn't easy for divorced women either. Even if their own parents don't mind, their sisters-in-law and other family members might.

The saying "a married woman is like water spilled from a bowl" is not just a saying. If a son who has separated from his wife's family can be considered as belonging to two different families, then it goes without saying that a daughter who has married into another family is even more so.

However, I'm only curious about other people's affairs for a moment and then move on.

The next morning, everyone got up before dawn.

Yun Jiao yawned as she sat on a small stool in the yard, munching on a cucumber.

Shen Yunlian was braiding her hair behind her.

Grandma Shen and her aunt were cooking noodles over a fire.

"Meow."

As soon as her braids were tied, Yun Jiao heard a familiar cat meow.

She turned her head and saw the tabby cat leader had jumped onto the wall, its bright green eyes staring at her.

"Mimi."

The tabby cat stared at her intently, then sat motionless on the wall, ignoring her completely.

"Mimi, come down here. Do you still want to eat that chicken from yesterday?"

That chicken belongs to the tabby cat; we arranged it with Grandma Shen and the others yesterday.

Although it hurts to pay, it was a whole chicken, but since it was caught by a tabby cat, I still have to give it back.

Their pheasants were also caught with the help of that tabby cat.

Yun Jiao called out "Mimi, Da Mi" several times, but the guy didn't budge.

Yun Xiaojiu: "Jiaojiao, you have to call her Boss."

Yun Jiao muttered, "But I want to be the boss."

Yun Xiaowu and the other children pointed and talked about the big tabby cat on the wall.

Yun Xiaowu: "This is the tabby cat that led you guys to find pheasants. It looks really imposing."

Shen Xiuyuan: "This tabby cat has lofty ambitions; it even wants to be Jiaojiao's boss."

Yun Xiaowu: "But if it can lead me to find pheasants and rabbits, I'd be happy to call it 'boss'."

These two were the most talkative. Yun Xiaoliu, like Yun Jiao, was munching on a melon, but he ate much faster than Yun Jiao.

"Oh, so be it if you call me boss. Jiaojiao only takes advantage of you verbally, but she listens when you call her boss, so she's still your little brother."

Yun Jiao turned her little head and felt that what was said made some sense.

So he called the tabby cat "boss".

"Meow."

Yun Jiao snorted twice: "I'm letting you eat chicken, and I have to call you boss before I'll eat it."

The pheasant had been properly prepared; its feathers had been plucked and its internal organs removed.
"Boss, is chicken enough to fill you up? Do you want the offal?"

When Yun Jiao talked about internal organs, her eyes were filled with a bright, eager look.

Because chicken offal can be made into a very delicious dish.

She licked her lips; the chicken giblets stir-fried with pickled chili peppers were especially fragrant, delicious, and chewy.

"Meow."

The cat leader ignored the internal organs, nimbly jumped down from the wall, stood in front of the large bowl of chicken, and began to eat.

It's not afraid of crowds, as long as people don't touch it.

The eldest cat is not afraid of people, it just doesn't like places with too many people, especially children.

For example, right now there are two mischievous kids trying to grab its tail.

The cat leader swept its tail across, while simultaneously hissing and baring its teeth to warn Yun Xiaowu and Shen Xiuyuan.

The two touched their noses.

"That's really vicious."

Shen Xiuyuan: "We're from the same village, after all. Why do you let Jiaojiao pinch your paws but won't let me touch the tip of your tail?"

The tabby cat completely ignored him.

Yun Linhai and the others also took a look at the formidable tabby cat, but quickly left to pack their things.

"Grandma, can we have stir-fried chicken giblets today?"

"Sure, I'll cook it when I get back."

Yun Jiao and the others immediately beamed with joy.

People's happiness is simple: being able to eat their fill, eat well, and dress well is enough to make them happy.

The noodles are cooked, and there are also cucumber slices for salad.

They each held their own bowls of steaming noodles and squatted in the yard to eat. The children occasionally took food from each other's bowls, laughing and joking.

Suddenly, a sharp curse from next door shattered their harmonious atmosphere.

Yun Jiao pricked up her ears, stuffed her noodles into her mouth, and ran off to watch the commotion.

Yun Xiaowu and the others quickly followed.

Shen Yunlian said irritably, "I don't know why Jiaojiao likes to join in the fun so much."

"It's okay, as long as I don't suffer any losses, I also like to join in the fun."

Aunt Shen also took the noodles to see what was going on.

"It sounds like the neighbors next door are having a fight over splitting up their property."

Indeed, it was the eldest son next door who was the one who insisted on dividing the family property, working hard without complaint and being treated like a beast of burden.

Grandma Shen also got excited. Although she had a disagreement with the neighbor yesterday, now it was that old woman who was unhappy, so she was very interested.

As a result, several heads began to peek out from the wall.

"I won't allow it. Your mother and father aren't even dead yet, and you're already thinking about separating from the family? What, you've grown up and your wings have hardened, haven't you? You ungrateful, unfilial wretch."

I raised you with so much hardship, changing your diapers and feeding you every drop of poop and pee, and this is how you repay me? Oh everyone, come and see, look at this thing that's been struck by lightning..."

Shen Jiang knelt on the ground, letting Old Lady Li beat him, but he was determined to separate the family.
