Finally, Chief Shen gave three gold beans to each of the ten people around him. "This is your hard work fee. The people digging new graves over there are the same as you. The people guarding the mountain will also get one or two. The remaining gold beans will be used to help the elderly and weak in our tribe who have no one to rely on."

"The clan leader is indeed wise and righteous!"

"Chief, you can just arrange these golden beans. You don't need to tell us specifically."

Everyone felt like they had won golden beans, and good words were pouring out of them like they were free.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Remember, when you go out, say that everyone has divided the things in the tomb, so that outsiders won't keep paying attention and disturb the peace of our ancestors. Let's get to work!" Patriarch Shen said with full energy.

With the money to be shared, everyone’s work was not in vain, and Patriarch Shen also became much more confident.

"Chief, we all understand what you mean. Don't worry, we will go out and tell everyone that we have divided up everything in the tomb."

"It's divided, isn't it? We all got the valuable gold."

Everyone got the gold and made a promise.

After stuffing the gold into their pockets and working full of energy, the six men carried the coffin to the new cemetery, and four of them took the burial objects and put them into the new tomb.

The new cemetery is still in the western mountain, just in a new location.

Patriarch Shen thought about it and finally put the pieces of jade into the tomb.

After the new grave was buried, Patriarch Shen distributed another wave of gold in front of everyone and repeated what he had said before, which caused everyone to give assurances and cheer again.

After the new grave was laid, the tribesmen in the ravine had not left yet. They turned the stones in the ravine upside down, but they still felt unsatisfied and were reluctant to leave.

Shen Rong was with her mother. She didn't pick up anything this time. If she saw any gold beans, she gave them to Lu to pick up.

From Xiagou to now, the smile on Lu's face has never disappeared.

The sisters Yuehe and Yuelan also looked excited. Looking at the others, they looked similar to Lu.

Although everyone was laughing, the ravine was quiet. When they saw the golden beans, they all covered their mouths, then quickly picked up the treasures they saw and put them in their pockets.

The tranquility was broken by people coming down from the mountain.

When everyone heard the cheers from the other side, they couldn't help but look over and saw the clan leader giving gold beans to those who worked hard.

The people in the valley heard that the things in the tomb were distributed to those who worked. The person who dug the soil received three gold beans, and the person who guarded the intersection received two.

Some people envy it, while others don’t.

The ones who are envious are naturally those who pick up less. Those who are not envious, they pick up more gold beans than those distributed by the patriarch.

Besides, those young and middle-aged men all came from every household, and giving it to them was equivalent to giving gold beans to every family in the clan, so everyone could only be happy.

Originally, those families who did not have strong laborers were a little disappointed, but when they heard the clan leader say that he had left some golden beans for the poor families in the clan, they immediately lost all their thoughts.

After the matter with the ancient tomb was dealt with, the people who were digging the soil had some free time, and there was no need for anyone to guard the intersection, so everyone rushed into the ravine to look for gold.

When the villagers outside the intersection saw that the people blocking the intersection had left, they called their friends and went to the mountains west of the village.

As soon as the villagers came in, they saw the ravine full of people and understood what they were doing.

A group of people swarmed into the ravine.

Patriarch Shen did not stop him.

When the Shen family members saw that the patriarch did not stop them, they pretended that they saw nothing and continued searching in the ditch.

There was only a shallow layer of water in the ravine to begin with. After everyone's searching, the originally clear spring water became turbid, and it was impossible to see what was at the bottom of the water.

Despite this, everyone was still reluctant to leave.

It was not until the last ray of setting sun hung over the mountain that everyone reluctantly came up from the ravine.

As soon as they got up, the cold mountain wind blew and the people whose clothes were soaked began to shiver.

"Mom, let's go back and change our clothes!" Shen Rong pulled Lu and called to Changsheng who was still looking for golden beans not far away, "Changsheng, go back and eat!"

Changsheng heard Shen Rong's voice, raised his head and responded, then walked over happily.

He handed the golden beans in his hand to Shen Rong as if he was presenting a treasure.

Shen Rong took it with a smile, "Changsheng is really good, he can actually pick up golden beans."

The four of them came out of the mountain and returned home before the sunset.

Mrs. Lu was so excited that she was busy picking golden beans and forgot that Yi'er and her three grandchildren were starving at home!

However, in the village, most families do not eat lunch. It’s just that the Shen family has many children, and children get hungry quickly, so they have also become accustomed to three meals a day.

Yier and her three younger brothers waited at home until noon but their grandmother didn't come back. They were very hungry, so Grandma Shen Liu brought them some porridge and cakes.

The four children shared the food and finally filled their stomachs. However, after a whole afternoon of consumption, the food in their stomachs had long been digested.

When the children saw Lu coming home, they stretched their necks and cried out for food, including the twin sisters who had not eaten lunch.

As soon as Mrs. Lu returned home, she changed into clean clothes with her two children, opened the cupboard immediately, got some snacks for her grandchildren, and then went straight to work making dinner.

"Big sister, second sister, did you pick up the golden beans?" Shen Yier looked at the twin sisters curiously.

Although Yier was at home taking care of her younger brother that day, she heard that there were golden beans to be picked in the west of the village. Everyone from the same tribe who could walk went there, and the only ones left at home were little idiots like them.

Logically, she is seven years old now and should be able to go and see the baby, but unfortunately her younger brother is only four years old, and her two cousins ​​are even younger, just over one year old, and they are all old enough to need someone to look after them.

Her age advantage is not as great as that of her two cousins, so she can only stay at home to look after the children.

"I picked them up. I picked up eight golden beans. My second sister is better than me. She picked up ten golden beans." Yuehe smiled.

"So many! What do golden beans look like? I haven't seen what gold looks like yet!" Yier said with envy.

She didn't know at this moment that the gold picked up by the two sisters belonged to them. She was simply envious of them for being able to see what gold beans looked like and for joining in the fun for so long.

The three sisters were talking and eating snacks.

After the twin sisters finished their snacks, they came to the kitchen hesitantly.

"Grandma...you told me before that all the gold we picked up would be saved for us. Is that true?" Yue He's voice sounded a little weak.

Mrs. Lu looked up at her granddaughter, whose face was a little red, and said, "Why, you come to ask your grandma right after you come in, don't you believe me? I remember how many golden beans you two picked up!"

At this time, Lu was a little unhappy.

Is the granddaughter more caring than her own daughter, and she didn't even mention whether the golden beans she just picked up could be given to her mother.

Yuelan saw that her grandmother was unhappy and quickly explained:

"Grandma, it's not that my sister and I don't trust you, but if the golden beans really belong to us sisters... we just feel a little guilty. If it weren't for Third Sister helping us look after our brother today, we wouldn't be able to go pick up gold. Grandma... can you give Third Sister a share of the golden beans we picked up?"

Mrs. Lu didn't expect that the two children came to her to talk about this. She was surprised, but also felt it was natural.

Lu treated all the children of the Shen family equally, regardless of gender, age or size. She did not have the habit of favoring boys over girls.

If there was any food, it would be shared equally among the children without favoritism. The children in the family grew up in such a family atmosphere and were united and friendly from an early age.

Mrs. Lu felt somewhat relieved that the two children could think of these things.

"What you said makes sense. Then I'll make the decision. Each of you will give Yi'er two golden beans. How about that?"

The two little girls nodded quickly.

"Grandma, I'll go tell my third sister the good news so she can also see what the golden beans look like."
