Li Changsheng glanced at An Mancang and his wife, then turned his gaze to An Daliang and his wife.
"In that case, you don't need to give them any money, Da Liang. Consider the money that the Mancang family has paid to you over the years, as well as the harvest from the fields, as their means of supporting themselves and showing their respect to you two."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiufen's eyes lit up. They don't want money? That's good! In the end, all the money that the old couple had in their hands would end up in her Mantun's hands!
Just as he was feeling overjoyed, he heard Li Changsheng continue.
"From now on, no one should bring this up again. The Mancang family doesn't take advantage of the Mantun family. Daliang, you and the Mantun family should stop saying that the Mantun family is supporting a whole family."
They have full granaries, but they don't rely on the people who own them to support them. They eat the food they harvest from their own fields and spend the money they pay.
No one can say for sure that Mancang is wrong.
The harvest from all your land is entirely thanks to someone else's full granary!
The harvest that Mancang has accumulated over the years is no less than what Mantun has earned!
And thanks to the harvest from this land, they sent Mantun to apprenticeship, and he became a carpenter master.
As soon as Li Changsheng dozed off, his gaze fell on An Mantun.
"So, you members of the Man Cang family, remember this: you owe the Man Cang family a debt. Without the Man Cang family, you wouldn't have the good life you have today."
As for the Mantun family, whether Mantun keeps what he earns or gives it to you two is none of my business. The point is, you two will be living with the Mantun family.”
Li Changsheng paused here, then suddenly shifted his tone to the main point.
"But he has to take back whatever fields he cultivated himself!"
“Those three thatched houses at the bottom of the mountain were built by Mancang himself for the convenience of taking care of the fields, so they should belong to Mancang.”
"If Mancang doesn't support you two old folks, then nobody can say what the future holds!"
"They didn't take your house or your land. They cultivated the land they cultivated themselves and lived in the houses they built themselves!"
"Over the years, you have been grateful for the birth and upbringing of this boy. He has repaid you with the harvest from the fields he has cultivated for so many years and the money he has paid for so many years. This can be considered a settlement."
As for the rest, the eldest son's family didn't want anything; it all went to the second son's family.
“That won’t do. That land belongs to the whole family. Why should it be given to my brother and sister-in-law?” Liu Xiufen immediately turned hostile upon hearing this.
A mu of medium-quality farmland is worth five taels of silver!
Originally, she only had three mu of medium-grade farmland in Anjia. The rest of the land was all given to her second brother's family. It couldn't all of it belong to his family, could it?
That's a whole 15 acres!
That's all pure silver! Absolutely not!
"Bang--"
An Dafeng was so angry that he slammed his cane on the table, breaking it in the process.
"So, what's your second brother's family planning to do? Do you want to suck the blood of the eldest brother?"
The house is yours, the land is yours, I've given you everything, so why should he leave with nothing?
"Should we also smear him for failing to support his parents in their old age?"
Li Changsheng's face also turned completely cold. This won't do, that won't do. He thought this woman was going to fly to the sky or go crazy!
"Is that not possible? If not, then let's go to the yamen (government office) and get a judgment from them!"
Upon seeing Li Changsheng's expression change drastically, An Le smiled. Oh, it's time for her to make her appearance. She's going to completely sever ties with this family of bastards and never have anything to do with them again. She, An Le, really doesn't care about this piece of trash.
She was particularly indifferent to the hardship of digging for food in the dirt pit; she had plenty of ways to get rich and live a good life. If she wanted land, she could buy it herself.
The best way to cut ties completely, and also to preserve the reputation of her adoptive parents, is to leave with nothing, abandoning all that property. She wants to show everyone in the village what kind of scoundrels her grandparents really are!
She also wanted everyone in the village to point fingers at this family of scoundrels and curse them as no good!
Seizing this perfect opportunity, Anle suddenly pushed open the door to the outer room and rushed inside.
An Ding, who was also peering through the crack in the door, suddenly changed his expression and was about to grab An Le.
But he was a fraction too slow, and his grabbing resulted in empty air. His hand froze in mid-air, and his heart skipped a beat.
What is his little sister up to now?
An Yi was also on tenterhooks, startled by An Le's sudden push of the door and rush in.
They were eavesdropping here, and if their great-grandfathers saw them, they're definitely going to get a scolding.
With his eyes tightly shut, bracing himself for the barrage of insults coming from inside, he was instead greeted by his younger sister's tearful voice.
"Grandpa Village Head, Great Grandpa, Second Grandpa, please don't be angry. I heard what you said. It's all our family's fault!"
"It's our family that upset Grandpa and Grandma. We're just not likable enough for them. We don't want anything, please don't be angry."
She shouldn't have used the wrong address just now, right? She had been eavesdropping on the conversations in the room and thought she had figured out who everyone was.
Tears streamed down Anle's face as she knelt down in front of Anmancang, hugging his legs and sobbing uncontrollably.
"Dad, let's give up everything, let's give up everything, okay? Don't make Grandpa and Grandma angry. If they want to stay with Uncle and Aunt, let them stay. We don't want anything. Dad, please stop them from arguing."
Having stayed here for half a month, she saw things most clearly. In fact, her father is very easily influenced and is someone who loves his children very much.
You have to cry and shout these kinds of things at her soft-hearted father.
Today, she's going to put on a melodramatic show in front of these elderly people.
Anle's sudden burst in crying and shouting startled everyone in the outer room. They stared at Anle's unusual behavior for a moment, then paused in surprise.
But when he saw the tears on the child's face, the village head's expression became complicated. He had also heard that the village was saying that the child had fallen from the tree and damaged his head, and that he couldn't remember anything.
Has her personality changed along with it?
This Le Wa from the Mancang family used to be the one who was least bullied. The little girl is quite wicked; she can go against anyone and is capable of anything.
In particular, he was mischievous and restless, and he did a lot of things with a bunch of boys, such as fishing in the river and hunting birds in the trees!
She didn't even spare the chickens in Mancang's yard. She had plucked all their feathers before, scaring them so much that they stopped laying eggs, just to make a shuttlecock to kick around in.
He had seen it once before, and the chicken was so scared that it would run away whenever it saw her!
This incident greatly angered the elderly couple, and became the talk of the village.
I never expected that just from hitting her head, her personality would become just like her mother's.
