“That’s right.” Zhou Hengyang tidied up his clothes and turned around to stare at her. “I can’t be away when the land is being divided. If I’m not around, our family might not get any land except for you.”

...

He mentioned our family, not your family.

Su Wen noticed this detail and was a little surprised.

“Is it because my six younger sisters are going to get married later?”

Zhou Hengyang nodded. “There are two possibilities. One is that he doesn’t want to share the land with his six sisters. The other possibility is they will divide it among the members of the Su family. For example, your two uncles will take the majority, and the others will take a small portion.” The more Su Wen listened, the uglier her expression became.

This was something she had never expected.

“According to the country’s policy, the land is divided within the same household. It will be divided according to the number of members in the household. Each person will be given six mu of land. Yesterday, I had a rough discussion with the village chief. As for whether we will get the mountainous land, dry land or paddy field, we will draw lots.”

Zhou Hengyang explained in detail. He had sat down by the bed at some point in time.

Su Wen could smell his pleasant scent.

“There are a total of eight people in our household register, so we can get 48 mu of land. That is considered a lot in the entire village. It’s gaining a lot of attention.” Money was the public’s focus, especially when it was about the land that farmers cared about the most.

Su Wen’s six younger sisters were going to be married in the future, so this land would belong to Su Wen alone in the future.

For sure, people would get jealous.

For example, some families had more children. Although they would be given more land, it would be less significant when they got married and split up. The future daughter-in-law wouldn’t get any land, and she couldn’t bring the land that was given by her family as well.

With that, when a young couple formed a new family, they would get even less land. Even if they could have land for farming, residential purposes and some extra land when the girls get married, but it was far less compared to Su Wen.

Everyone in the village, including the Su family wanted to get their hands on such a great fortune.

When he was drinking with the village chief last night, he had already hinted su Wen.

Su Wen completely understood what Zhou Hengyang meant. The more she thought about it, the uglier her expression became. She thought even deeper than Zhou Hengyang. In the novel, Su Wen’s two uncles, matchmaker Zhao, Zhao Jiangang, and the others plotted against her because of the Su family’s property.

There were only a few houses, but it made so many people put in so much effort to get it. With this great amount of land, they would be even more ruthless, right?

The novel did not mention how much land the Su family had been allocated.

With that, she knew that none of the six younger sisters had been given land.

However, it was hers now. She would never let go of what belonged to her.

Zhou Hengyang sat beside Su Wen and carefully examined her. His deep gaze scanned her inch by inch. He was trying to imprint each of her moves and expressions into his heart.

“What are you thinking about?” He suddenly spoke. His tone was surprisingly gentle.

“I’m thinking that we can’t let those bastards off easily.”

Zhou Hengyang suddenly smiled, “You should get your share. Of course, you can’t let outsiders take advantage of you, and I can’t just watch others bully you. As your live-in son-in-law and husband, I have the responsibility to take care of you.”

In the end, he emphasised the phrase “protect you” with a low and hoarse voice. There was a hint of sadness..
