Chapter 52 The document severing ties is in hand

He took a deep breath and solemnly said to his wife, Ma Aning, "Wife, from now on, the four of us must live a good life together. Let bygones be bygones, and we will no longer concern ourselves with anything else."

His gaze was firm yet tender, revealing his deep love and care for his wife.

Hearing her father's words, Shen Xiaoxiao gradually stopped crying, raised her head to look at her father, her face still covered with glistening tears.

She sobbed, "Daddy is so good, Daddy is the best dad in the world, I love you so much." That tender voice echoed in my mind, sounding especially clear and melodious at that moment, as if carrying a touch of lightness and joy.

Just as everyone's emotions had calmed down a bit, a "pop" sound suddenly rang out. It turned out that Shen Xiaochuan had accidentally blew a bubble out of his mouth after letting out a sigh of relief.

The bubble paused briefly in the air before bursting open instantly. The sudden sound startled Shen Xiaochuan, leaving him completely stunned.

With a chuckle, someone burst out laughing first, and the three adults relaxed, their faces beaming with smiles.

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the dappled leaves and spilled into the Shen family's cozy courtyard.

Just then, a knock on the door broke the silence. It turned out that the village chief had come in person, bringing with him the note that everyone had been waiting for: a letter severing ties.

The letter of severance was covered with the signatures and bright red handprints of everyone from the Shen family's old residence.

The village chief slowly handed the letter severing ties to Shen Zishan, who was standing at the door, with a hint of helplessness and regret on his face: "Shanzi, I know that you have been working hard all these years and must have made a lot of money."

"And as far as I know, you've been sending a lot of money home, but now you've ended up in this mess. It's really not your fault!" he said, gently patting Shen Zishan's broad shoulders.

Shen Zishan listened quietly to the village chief's words, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He nodded slightly to express his gratitude for the village chief's good intentions, and then firmly replied, "Uncle Village Chief, please rest assured! After going through so many things, I know exactly what I should do."

"For the rest of my life, I will wholeheartedly take good care of my wife and children, and strive to make our little family prosperous and thriving."

After saying that, he involuntarily turned his gaze to the room where Ma Aning lived, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection.

The village chief nodded slightly in agreement, then said, "Alright, since you know everything, I won't say anything more. I have a lot of things to take care of, so I have to head back now." With that, he turned to leave.

"Uncle Village Chief, please take your time!" Shen Zishan hurriedly escorted the village chief to the door.

After watching the village chief's figure gradually disappear from sight, Shen Zishan slowly closed the gate and locked it.

Then, he took a deep breath, composed himself, and stepped back into the house.

Upon entering the room, Shen Zishan went straight to the table, picked up the newly signed letter of severance of ties, and carefully handed it to Ma Aning. Ma Aning hesitated for a moment before extending both hands to take the thin piece of paper, her eyes appearing somewhat lost and dazed.

She stared intently at the severance agreement in her hand, her lips trembling slightly, and asked softly, "Brother Shan, why does all of this feel so unreal? We're just cutting off all contact and ties with those people at the old house like this..."

“Yes, I just signed the remaining two copies and had the village chief take them back. From now on, you're all I have,” Shen Zishan said, holding Ma Aning tightly.

Ma Aning felt a dampness on her neck and knew that Shen Zishan had cried. She didn't say anything, but just patted his back comfortingly.

"Wow! We finally signed the severance agreement! From now on, I won't have to worry about being bullied by those awful people anymore!" Shen Xiaoxiao's excited voice echoed in Shen Zishan's and Shen Zishan's minds like a booming bell.

After a moment of stunned silence, the couple finally came to their senses.

Shen Zishan slowly turned around, quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and then said with feigned composure, "Wife, I'll go and tidy up our backyard and plant some vegetables. You just stay inside and rest."

Upon hearing this, Ma Aning nodded slightly, and was about to speak when...

Suddenly, as if she had remembered something important, Shen Xiaoxiao opened her eyes wide, though she couldn't see anything clearly.

"The backyard! Oh, right, how could I forget that! Didn't we buy Grandma Sun's house?"

"There's a cellar right in the backyard! There are over 30 chests full of gold and silver jewelry buried in that cellar!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zishan's eyes widened in astonishment as he looked at Ma Aning, who was also still in shock.

Shen Xiaoxiao's anxious thoughts still echoed in her mind: "In our past life, our family lived a miserable life! In the end, we were even destroyed and we were destitute."

"But the eldest son's family, after they bought this house, when they were preparing to renovate it with the money you earned, unexpectedly dug up more than 30 boxes of gold and silver jewelry in their backyard!"

“They never thought of helping us. They left the village with the old man, the old woman, and their second wife’s family, and they lived a very comfortable life.”

"Now that this house belongs to us, the gold and silver jewelry behind it should rightfully belong to our family as well!"

"Dad, my dear father, hurry up and dig them all out! You have to be quick, or someone else will get them first and I'll be heartbroken!"

As Shen Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the couple remained in shock and were unable to recover for a long time.

"Brother Shan, go take a look, no, you can't go now, go take a look tonight," Ma Aning said solemnly.

"Okay, I'll go till the soil now," Shen Zishan said and strode out.

He searched everywhere in the backyard and found some unusual traces.

Shen Zishan's hands began to tremble. He really wanted to open it and go inside, but he thought that it was still daytime. Although there were only a few houses at the foot of the mountain, it was hard to say what would happen if he were discovered.

If someone reports it, it's no joke; things are very strict right now.

Shen Zishan returned to the house, looked at Ma Aning's gaze, and nodded slightly.
