Since she had already said as much, what more could they say? It was not as if they could refute her. Still, they could work with what Su Wen had said. Many had prepared to mock her earlier, thinking she would be downcast and reject her allocated lot.

Those jealous of Su Wen for getting 50 mu of land no longer felt the same. Instead, they rejoiced, rubbing salt into what they thought was a wound.

“Humph!” Zhu Yueju said sourly, “Some people just do all kinds of bad things. Not even the heavens can stand it. Who would have thought someone entitled to more than 50 mu of land would end up lumbered with the barren mountains instead? You can’t even grow anything on those mountains. Hah! You deserve it. This is karma.”

“Aunt Zhu, what you said makes sense.”

Xu Qianjin suffered a great loss because of the separation of the family. Ever since the separation, he had to work hard in the fields every day. When he thought about how Third Brother was the one who did all this work before they split up, he felt even more indignant. While he disliked Third Brother and his wife, he hated Su Wen even more.

Su Wen must have played some trick behind his back to ruin his relationship with his Third Brother. Otherwise, why would his sweet Third Brother suddenly fall out with him?

Ever since they split up, Su Wen had been working closely with his Third Aunt. He would not believe it if anyone were to say Su Wen had had nothing to do with that sudden change of heart.

Now that an opportunity to trample on Su Wen’s dignity had presented itself, he wanted to crush her with all his might.

“Someone like her doesn’t deserve 50 mu of land.”

He Yulan could not stand idle as these insults poured out of those around them. “What did you say, Big Brother?”

“Am I wrong? Why else would Su Wen’s luck be so bad? Everyone else was allocated decent farmland, while all Su Wen got was a stretch of barren mountains. This is retribution for her ruining the relationship between me and Third Brother.”

Xu Qianjin chattered non-stop. He was worse than a woman with a vendetta. Meanwhile, his wife stood at his side, whispering into his ear, adding fuel to the fire. They were a couple that was the exact opposite of most families.

Every time he had a conflict with someone, Xu Qianjin was the one who quarreled like a shrew, regardless of whether the other party was a man or a woman.

Xu Qianjin was something of a running joke in the village.

Su Wen glanced at Zhou Hengyang, noting his stormy expression. ‘Xu Qianjin is courting death,’ she thought. Xu Qianjing was looking for trouble, especially with Hengyang still around. He should have learned from Sun Dahai, at the very least. If Xu Qianjin wanted to stir up trouble, he should only have done so after Zhou Hengyang left!

“Don’t be angry.” Suddenly, a warm hand snagged Su Wen’s open palm, clasping it tightly.

Su Wen shook her head. “No, I’m not angry.” If she were to get angry at every outcome, wouldn’t she die of anger?

“Shut up!” He Yulan’s mother-in-law grabbed Xu Qianjin by the ear and twisted.

Xu Qianjin screamed in pain but did not dare to fight back in front of his mother.

“Let go, Mom. Ow! Be gentle…”

“You rascal! You’re asking for a beating! Stop being an eyesore and scram!” He Yulan’s mother-in-law dragged Xu Qianjin by the ear, hauling him away to give him a good dressing down.

The people around him burst into laughter, making Xu Qianjin flush in embarrassment, but he didn’t dare to make a sound.

Soon, it was Su Wen’s turn to finalize the details. Just as she was about to hand the slip indicating the lot she had drawn to the village director, an urgent voice sounded.

“Su Wen, wait.”

Sun Yunyun rushed up to Su Wen, her expression drawn taut with anxiety. She was drenched in sweat and panting non-stop. Fortunately, she had made it in time. The treasure mountain was hers; it could be no one else’s.

“What are you doing back here?” Zhu Yueju exclaimed, approaching her daughter with hurried steps. “The college entrance exams are just around the corner. Why have you returned now?”

“Don’t worry. I’ve been keeping up with my studies. There’s nothing left I need to go through.” Sun Yunyun was very confident in her academic ability. Right now, nothing was more important than snatching Su Wen’s claim over the barren mountain from her..
