Lin Yi had no objection, and the two brothers went back to Zhao Xianshui's house together. Lin Yi asked his elder brother to stay outside the door, and he still climbed over the wall to go in.

Zhao Xianjin: ...

The deed was in the drawer of the couple's bedroom wardrobe. Lin Yi retrieved a small key from a copy of "Quotations from Chairman Mao," unlocked the drawer, and successfully retrieved the deed. As he turned to leave, he found a small, square note on the bed. It was so exquisite that if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't have noticed it.

There was only an address of a county town on the note, which was probably where Ling Shuangniang and the others were staying. Lin Yi put the note in his pocket, took out two boxes of cigarettes from his luggage bag, put them in his pocket, and climbed over the wall to find his eldest brother.

The village cadres were all aware of the dispute between the two Zhao brothers over the old homestead at the beginning of the year. They thought that the Zhao family would have to bear the loss, but they did not expect that the two brothers would reach a settlement privately. Zhao Xianshui even took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gave them to the secretary and the accountant, trying to get the matter done as soon as possible.

The brigade cadres had no objection. They were even afraid that Zhao Yongliang would come back and continue to cause trouble. So they didn't waste any time and quickly filled out a standard agreement. After the two Zhao brothers signed and stamped their fingerprints, the brigade cadres also signed and stamped as witnesses.

Zhao Xianjin didn't expect this matter to go so smoothly. He walked out of the brigade headquarters in a daze, holding the land deed in one hand and the agreement in the other. It was only after a long while that he remembered that he should invite the secretary and the accountant to his house for dinner in the evening. He hurriedly turned around and went back to invite them.

The secretary didn't want to go at first, but this is the common practice of villagers doing things nowadays: dividing up the family, transferring homesteads, buying and selling large livestock, all require inviting witnesses to dinner. If he doesn't go, the host family will not think it saves trouble and food, but on the contrary will think that you look down on them. What's wrong with that?

How could you do something that offends people? The secretary and the accountant happily agreed. What's more, they also wanted to ask Zhao Xianshui, the old man, how on earth did he send his good-for-nothing son to work in the Public Security Bureau?
