Chapter 141

Taking a burden into the mountains, and still having to give him a share of the prey hunted?

Even if he was his own younger brother, would this be quite uncomfortable? No matter who it was, they wouldn't be happy! Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, let alone paternal cousins!

You have to know that the lesson Li Biao gave Wang An was still fresh in his memory, although Li Biao had already become a "hero with one testicle"! But Wang An not only had no sympathy for this kind of person, but was also quite disgusted!

To put it even more harshly, it was simply asking for it!

Although the previous generation of Wang An, that is, Wang Dazhu's brothers and sisters, had a quite good relationship. In Wang An's generation, there was also no conflict between the brothers and sisters, and they all got along well.

But Wang An, except for the few people in his own family, was a person with a very clear head about any interpersonal relationship.

To put it bluntly, helping you or giving you things was no problem! Even if you had no money, lending you money was fine, and it was up to you when to pay it back. At the very least, you had to owe me a favor!

Because we are relatives, and asking relatives for help when there is something is a matter of course!

But at the same time, we are two families, and neither owes the other!

Therefore, you cannot take advantage of me for nothing, and still have an attitude of "it should be so" and "take it for granted"!

Of course, it might also be that Wang An over-interpreted the relative relationship, or thought of human nature too complexly.

Because second aunt could take advantage of the wine and say these words very embarrassedly, maybe second aunt didn't think so much at all, just simply wanted to find a way for her son to make a living.

Just as Wang An was pondering how to open his mouth, Liu Guilan saw her son's embarrassment and spoke.

He only heard Liu Guilan say with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, this mountain-gathering is a business of putting your head in your waistband. Wang Li is so young and doesn't know anything yet. How worrying it is to go into the mountains! If there is a lack of protection, who should this be blamed on?"

Her mother's words could be considered as having cleared the siege for Wang An. Although Wang An was married, he was still a junior after all. If the words were too hard, it would be impossible to say and would hurt the harmony; if the words were too soft, they would lack strength and couldn't be explained clearly!

After hearing what her sister-in-law Liu Guilan said, Yao Ping's face, which was already flushed from drinking, became even redder and even more embarrassed. She hurriedly explained, "I just want my Wang Li to learn a craft. It's not a thing for him to be poking around at home all day!"

After Yao Ping finished explaining, the whole room became a bit cold. At this time, the second uncle, Wang Daliang, said to his wife, Yao Ping, "Dazhu's wife is right. Besides, our family doesn't even have a gun. Isn't it nonsense to let Xiao Li go into the mountains?"

It was just that Yao Ping was very polite to outsiders, but she definitely didn't spoil her own man. She said with an unsatisfied tone, "Then what do you say we should do? Just let our son stay at home like that every day? Look at him poking around in front of you every day; aren't you annoyed? You, as a father, have truly lived in vain!"

Wang Daliang's face was full of shame, and he rolled his eyes at Yao Ping without speaking. The people in the whole room didn't answer, and all continued to pick up food and eat. The whole room became cold again!

Wang An saw this scene and was also seriously quite conflicted! Whether it was second uncle or second aunt, they were seriously quite good to him!

Before he married Mu Xueqing, in order to find him a wife, second uncle and second aunt didn't spare any effort to ask people for favors!

The current situation was actually forced by life, because Wang An knew that second uncle and second aunt had spent a lot of money to build a house for second brother Wang Shun, and still owed a lot of debt to the brigade. In the current situation, who knows how many years they would have to live in famine!

So no matter what, and no matter whether he was willing or not, he should still pull them if he could! Just say the ugly words first!

Just like when his aunt's husband, Feng Chengmin, treated him before, he might have been very reluctant, but after all, he still taught him hand-in-hand for three days, and he was also able to avoid many detours because of these three days!

Just as he was pondering, Mu Xueqing pulled Wang An from behind and signaled to the outer room with her eyes. Wang An didn't understand what was going on, so he got up and walked toward the outer room, with Mu Xueqing naturally following behind.

Arriving at the outer room, Mu Xueqing whispered to Wang An, "Doesn't our family still have a single-barreled shotgun? Wouldn't it be fine if you lent that shotgun to Old Five? You brothers going into the mountains together can also be safer!"

Wang An's eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked toward the west room. At this time, the west room was full of children eating. He saw that each one's mouth was stuffed with meat and couldn't care about anything else. The children at this time were truly all lacking oil and nutrition!

Wang An took out the shotgun from the kang cabinet. This shotgun was actually from that idiot who rode the green horse! It was just that that idiot might have had his bones turned into the feces of beasts or birds by now!

Wang Li could be considered lucky. Wang An had actually forgotten about this gun, otherwise, Wang An would have had no use for it and would have sold it long ago. How could he have kept it until now!

Even if a rag-and-bone man came, there was still a brand-new 56-semi. Mu Xueqing, that woman, knew how to use a gun, because the oil paper wrapping the gun didn't know when it had been unwrapped!

Wang An also found a broken sack to pack the one hundred and forty or fifty shotgun bullets in the drawer, and together with the shotgun, carried them to the east room. Seeing Wang An returning with a gun and a broken sack, the whole room of people didn't know what Wang An wanted to do and were all curiously observing.

After entering the room, Wang An hung the gun on the wall, and the broken sack was thrown on the ground under the wall, immediately making a "clatter" sound.

After pondering for a while, Wang An said, "Second aunt, you and my second uncle have been quite good to me, and I am not an ungrateful person. It's fine to let Old Five go mountain-gathering with me, but there are many things. Today, this whole family is here! We have to make it clear in advance, don't you think so?"

The sudden change in the matter made Wang Daliang and Yao Ping look surprised at the same time. Yao Ping said directly, "Right, Little An, continue, second aunt is listening."

Wang An said with a serious face, "My mother was right just now. In the business of mountain-gathering, it's normal for some accidents to happen, so in the future, if something happens, don't blame anyone; you can only blame yourself."

"Hmm, second aunt knows. If there is really that one-in-a-million chance, second aunt won't blame anyone either," Yao Ping nodded and agreed.

Wang An continued, "Old Five doesn't know anything now. It's impossible to divide things according to the rules of mountain-gathering. No matter how much work he does or how much effort he puts in, he can only be given one-tenth, not one share."

"Oh, just give him a little bit! What can he do!" Yao Ping still nodded and agreed very much.

Wang An paused, pointed to the shotgun hanging on the wall, and said, "I'm also lending this gun to Old Five to use, but later, he either returns the gun to me or gives me money. There's no problem with this, right?"

Hearing Wang An's words, Yao Ping was suddenly at a loss, but even more happy. However, her eyes, which were already flushed from drinking, were now moist!

Because no matter what kind of gun it was, it wasn't a cheap thing!

She hurriedly said, "No problem, no problem. Little An, you are too righteous; second aunt doesn't even know what to say!"

He only heard Wang An continue, but this time to his fifth younger brother, Wang Li: "Old Five, you must listen to me completely after entering the mountains. Is there any problem?"

At this time, Wang Li was actually the most excited one!

Which man is not hot-blooded? Which man doesn't want to roar in the mountains and forests?

Most importantly, everyone wants to have the heroic ambition of "a gun in hand, the world is mine"!

Therefore, Wang Li said anxiously, "Fourth brother, look at what you're saying. You are my brother to begin with, so I must listen to you! Besides, I can't beat you!"

A single sentence broke the very serious scene in the room, and everyone burst into laughter.

It was just that everyone in the room was family, and everyone knew what everyone was like. So Wang Li didn't feel shy at all. Instead, because of everyone's laughter, he felt seriously quite proud and seriously quite self-confident!
