“No.”
“Mom, you decide. That’s fine.”
Wu Le and Du Qing answered at the same time.
Liao Zhaoji was so angry she felt like exploding, but with Ruan Jiandang’s cold gaze on her, she couldn’t say anything.
Ruan Jiandang, holding Liao Zhaoji’s wrist, nodded, “Okay, let’s listen to Mom.”
“Alright, now there are two hundred and twenty-five pounds of pork left. Your eldest brother gets one hundred pounds, and each of you gets forty pounds. The remaining five pounds are mine. Any objections?”
The three brothers shook their heads again in unison.
Ruan Jianguo actually wanted to object. He didn’t want to take advantage of his brothers, but the stern look from the Ruanlin Family matriarch made him back down, and ultimately, he said nothing.
The two hundred and twenty-five pounds of pork were divided just like that. As for whether to sell it or smoke it for their own consumption, that was for each to decide.
Liao Zhaoji, taking her share of the forty pounds of pork, stormed off, even slamming bowls and pans in her rage. She acted as though everyone owed her something. Ruan Jiandang, looking somewhat apologetic, glanced at Ruan Jianguo and hurried after her. Shortly after, the sound of arguing could be heard from next door.
The other couple also took their meat and left, leaving only the Ruanlin matriarch and Ruan Jianguo in the kitchen.
Ruan Jianguo didn’t understand, “Mom, why divide it this way?”

He didn’t want to take such advantage, fearing discord among brothers. After all, the old saying goes, clear accounts make good friends.
“What do you think this wild boar came from?” the Ruanlin matriarch asked him with a sneer. “Did you really think it went mad and ran into our wall? Over these years, have you seen anything like this happen to other families? Or have you seen any wild boars in these mountains?”
“Then what is it?”
The Ruanlin matriarch walked over to him and whispered into his ear the dream talk she had overheard the previous night.
Last night, she heard Ruan Jiaojiao talking in her sleep. At first she thought Jiaojiao was thirsty and calling for water, but then she realized the calls were for a wild boar.
After several shouts, she didn’t pay much attention, thinking it was just dream talk.
Who would have thought that, just after she had tucked in the blanket and closed her eyes for a short while, the wild boar hit their wall!
Once or twice could be coincidence, but any more than that, she did not believe in such coincidences in this world.
The wild boar had been summoned by Little Jiaojiao!
It was originally something meant for Little Jiaojiao. Even giving forty pounds to Liao Zhaoji had been painful for her.
“Mom, this…” Ruan Jianguo’s expression grew very grave, looking at the Ruanlin matriarch with worry. He wasn’t afraid of Jiaojiao having such a power; no matter what, she was his precious little girl. But he did fear that this power might harm Jiaojiao.
Especially since the last time, the pheasants had bruised her knees so badly. If it were a wild boar, or some other beast, he couldn’t bear to think of the consequences!
“Don’t discuss this matter with anyone. I’ll find a way,” the Ruanlin matriarch said. She did not see the ability as anything positive. She didn’t lack for meat. When she was the young miss of the landlord, she had saved many valuable things. Although some were confiscated later, what she had hidden underground was enough to provide for her Jiaojiao to live a good life.
It’s just that these are chaotic times; other families are poor, and she could not afford to live too well openly, always hiding what she had without using it.
“I won’t tell. But in the future…”
“It’s good that the house was damaged this time. I have been thinking about building another one for a while. Take this chance to start a new house on that plot of land at the head of the village. If you need more money, come to me.” She had seen enough of Liao Zhaoji and had long wanted to move out.
