Chapter 79 Settling Down

There are no outsiders in Jiangjia Village.

Jiang Youcheng was a straightforward person and wanted to answer like this.

Jiang Mixia asked back first, "Brother Zhu, do you want to settle down in Jiangjia Village?"

Zhu Yongwu nodded somewhat embarrassedly, "I have this idea, but I don't know if Jiangjia Village is willing to accept us."

Finally, he said, "I originally wanted to go look for my uncle and cousin from my maternal grandparents' family, but I haven't had any contact with them for so many years. I don't know what it will be like there, and I'm not sure. The people in Jiangjia Village are very nice, and Guangtai likes it here, so I'm thinking about whether I can stay here."

"I still have some money, and I can build two shelter houses. I can rent a few acres of land and start working. It will be enough for my father and me to eat and drink. Now it depends on whether Jiangjia Village is willing to accept me. If they are willing, I am willing to give some money to the village ancestral hall."

Living in a village with the same clan name as you is seeking shelter. If you encounter any problems in the future, the village will help you out, and you must donate the money you deserve.

Zhu Yongwu understood this truth.

"I understand what you mean." Jiang Youcheng understood Zhu Yongwu's purpose and nodded. "I will go find the headman after dinner to discuss this matter."

"Thank you for your help, uncle." Zhu Yongwu said as he was about to look for his purse.

"Don't panic, I'll go and ask clearly first, it won't be too late for you to talk about this later."

Jiang Youcheng has had a lot of contact with Zhu Yongwu during this period and feels that he is an honest and kind person. If Zhu Yongwu is willing to settle down in Jiangjia Village, he is willing to do so in his heart.

As for settling down in Jiangjia Village and donating money...

Although Zhu Yongwu said that he had sold houses and land and had some money in his hands, according to what Zhu Yongwu said at the time, the conflict arose first and then he sold these things.

In this case, when selling things, he must be in a hurry and the price cannot be too high. The fields are okay, but the houses are probably worthless, so the money he has is probably limited.

The purpose of settling down is mainly to prevent outsiders who want to seek asylum from enjoying the clan's favor for no reason. It is not a one-time deal. The money cannot be too much, it has to be reasonable. For the father and son to live a good life in the future, it is better to have as little as possible.

Jiang Youcheng thought so and said the same thing to Jiang Zhengxin.

Jiang Zhengxin is the head of Jiangjia Village. He knows everything that happens in the village and is very concerned about Zhu Yongwu, who is currently recuperating from an injury at Jiang Youcheng's home.

Then he realized that Zhu Yongwu was a serious and honest man, so he felt relieved. Now when he heard Jiang Youcheng say that Zhu Yongwu wanted to settle down in Jiangjia Village, Jiang Zhengxin scratched his head.

"It's not impossible to settle down, but the money is ..."

"That's exactly what I'm talking about." Jiang Youcheng said, "I feel sorry for the father and son, so I'm thinking whether we should ask them to donate less money, or spread it out over several years. After all, settling down here means spending money everywhere, so we need to get them settled first."

"Yes, that's the reason."

Jiang Zhengxin felt that what Jiang Youcheng said made sense, and he also thought that Jiang Youcheng was just a messenger in this matter. He still had to have a good talk with Zhu Yongwu about this matter.

Considering that Zhu Yongwu's foot injury has not healed yet, Jiang Zhengxin went to Jiang Youcheng's home.

This discussion took the whole morning.

But Zhu Yongwu's settlement in Jiangjia Village was settled.

You have to donate ten taels of silver to the village, but you don't have to pay it all at once. Give five taels in the first year, and then give one tael each year for the rest, and pay it off in five years.

As for the house, Zhu Yongwu decided to use the vacant land on the roadside outside the village. In the spring, he could clean it up, build two houses and enclose a small yard.

After the Chinese New Year, Jiang Zhengxin will help Zhu Yongwu and his son go to the county town to handle some household registration procedures.

As for Zhu Yongwu's seniority in the village, just follow the fact that he usually calls Jiang Youcheng Uncle and put him, Jiang Mixia, and Song Jingyun as peers...

In short, the big issues were basically explained clearly, and Zhu Yongwu felt relieved. He thanked Jiang Youcheng and Jiang Zhengxin repeatedly.

"From now on, we are family. You don't have to be so polite. If there is anything in the village, just look for me. Don't be polite."

After chatting for the whole morning, Jiang Zhengxin's favorable impression of Zhu Yongwu increased as he saw that he spoke in a serious and honest manner.

"Thank you, Uncle Li Zheng."

They said that he was not allowed to say thank you, but now Zhu Yongwu didn’t know what to say. He could only say thank you.

Jiang Zhengxin didn't correct him, but just smiled and talked about something else.

Because of the weather and Zhu Yongwu's foot injury, the house could not be built until the beginning of spring after the New Year. There were no other vacant houses in the village, so Zhu Yongwu and his son Zhu Guangtai spent this year in Jiang Youcheng.

Also, because Jiang Mixia's dementia had improved over the past year, and because Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun had earned a lot of money for the family, the family lived a comfortable life, and this year's New Year celebration at home was more lavish and lively than usual.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Now with the addition of Zhu Yongwu and Zhu Guangtai, this year's Chinese New Year is even more special.

Jiang Mixia is a contemporary 996 corporate slave who has to be on call during the Chinese New Year. Since she started working, she has never had a comfortable and customary Chinese New Year experience. Now she is actually experiencing these Chinese New Year customs such as grinding tofu, slaughtering roosters, and steaming buns, which she finds quite interesting.

Song Jingyun also likes Chinese New Year very much. After the Little New Year, the dishes every day are especially rich. The big pot of meat is cooked, and a piece is cut every day to eat. The fried chicken and fish pieces are fragrant. The thick fried tofu slices are cut into thin strips and mixed with Chinese cabbage. They are all delicious...

Not to mention the various kinds of cakes, dried fruits, candied fruits and other things bought from the county town at that time.

Song Jingyun felt like he didn't even know he was hungry.

Because he was eating non-stop, his mouth almost never stopped moving.

But for Zhu Guangtai, his home was always deserted. It had never been so lively before, especially when he could play with Jiang Chunyu, Jiang Maihua and others, and have fun in different ways.

Zhu Guangtai's little face always smiles from morning to night almost every day, and his face always looks sore.

Jiang Youcheng and Liu were extremely pleased as they watched the liveliness at home. The wrinkles on their faces became a little deeper because of smiling so much.

In short, this New Year was both lively and happy.

The days pass by in a flash. After the New Year, it is the Lantern Festival. After the Lantern Festival, the old year comes to an end and a new busy year begins again.

Zheng Ji handed out a new order, and some individual wholesalers also came to place orders.

The workshop, which had been closed for the entire New Year, began its busy new year.
