Chapter 391 A Complete End

Yuan Shanchuan and Lu Sixing didn't have much money. When they divided their property, the two elders of the Yuan family only gave them this house, eight hundred coins, and a few acres of land. They got nothing else.

Fortunately, Yuan Shanchuan had secretly saved some money in his earlier years, and with the couple working diligently during this period, all their savings amounted to about three taels of silver.

Three ounces is far from enough to reach twelve ounces.

Of these three taels, they still need to keep one tael of silver for themselves; otherwise, after returning the house they are currently living in to the Yuan family, they will have nowhere to live.

Moreover, Yuan Shanchuan is still injured, and the doctor said he needs to recuperate properly. Even if he doesn't get a good meal, we can't let him go hungry again.

One or two taels of silver should be enough to help them recover. As long as they can get through this period, they will be able to earn money to pay off their debts.

But they were still short ten taels, which was far too much for the couple.

Although Lu Dasong was by her side, Li Shi basically managed all the money in the house. Let alone borrowing ten taels, even one or two taels would be difficult.

Lu Sixing knew that her second brother's family was doing better now, but she felt that it would be difficult for them to come up with ten taels of silver, after all, their shop had only just opened.

So asking Shuyu to bring it up was too difficult for her.

However, Shu Yu quickly took out ten taels of silver and handed it over directly, saying, "Is this enough? If not, I have more."

Lu Sixing was stunned. She raised her head and looked at her blankly, then looked at the silver note in her hand. She couldn't say anything for a long time.

After a while, she nodded repeatedly, "That's enough, that's enough. Don't worry, Ayu, when your aunt has money, she will definitely pay you back as soon as possible."

Shu Yu smiled and said, "Fourth Aunt, you'll have money soon, don't worry."

Lu Sixing was puzzled. What did she mean? How did she know?

Shu Yu knew, of course, that the reward from Lord Xiang hadn't been announced yet. Anyway, whatever the reward, her fourth aunt's family would soon be doing well, and the ten taels of silver would be returned quickly.

"Fourth Aunt, please go inside quickly."

Lu Sixing snapped out of her daze and quickly nodded, "I'll go in now, you rest here for a while."

After saying that, she ran into the yard.

In total, Yuan Shanchuan gave the two elders of the Yuan family twelve taels of silver, as well as the courtyard where they now lived, all at once in front of Village Chief Chen and the village elders, and signed a letter of severance and a guarantee.

Looking at the handprints his parents had left, Yuan Shanchuan gave a self-deprecating laugh.

He took a deep breath, looked at the two elders of the Yuan family and his three older brothers, and solemnly said, "From now on, I, Yuan Shanchuan, am a person without parents and brothers. From now on, we will sever all ties and never see each other again."

He then looked at the village chief, "I ask you all to be my witnesses."

Village Chief Chen sighed, patted Yuan Shanchuan on the shoulder and said, "You are good, we all know that, it's them who are confused."

He also gave the Yuan family elders a cold look, turning his head to glare at them and saying, "I'm telling you beforehand, if we're going to break off relations, let's break them off cleanly. Don't wait until things get better and you encounter difficulties in the future and then think about getting back together, treating this letter of severance as nothing. If that happens, I won't allow it."

In his opinion, the future of Shanchuan will definitely be better than that of the Yuan family.

Putting everything else aside, just look at Lu's niece, someone who has a good relationship with the county magistrate. How could she not benefit from it?
