Chapter 58 A Bold Idea (Thanks for the Extra Update)
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person who spoke was Ouyang Qin, who had always been treated as a background wall.
Seeing Ouyang Qin's determined look, Li Zi felt that since the Ouyang family came, he had endless melons to eat every day. These days were really beautiful.
Looking at Li Zi's gaze, Ouyang Qin said firmly, "Manager Li, as the saying goes, it's better to choose a day than to wait for it. I, Ouyang Qin, and my family would like to take this opportunity to leave the clan and establish a new branch."
Hearing this, Li Zi looked back at Ouyang Hong, who had remained silent, and then turned back to Ouyang Qin and asked, "Have you thought it through?"
"I've made up my mind. I'd like you to be my witness, and I also ask you, Lord Ouyang and the old lady, to approve. Without us as a burden, the eldest wife's life will be better."
Li Zi did not say anything immediately, but looked at Ouyang Hong and Chen Yanhua: "What do you think, Lord Ouyang and Old Madam Ouyang?"
As soon as Li Zi finished speaking, Ouyang Hong's grief-stricken voice rang out: "Rebellious son! Rebellious son!"
Ouyang Hong said this with a broken heart. He pointed a finger at the brothers Ouyang Jin and Ouyang Qin and said, "You two unfilial sons! How has the Ouyang family wronged you that you would do this?"
The next second, Ouyang Hong wiped his eyes with his hand, then looked at Ouyang Qin with deep sorrow and said, "Third Brother, if you want to leave the clan, you can no longer bear the last name Ouyang. My Ouyang family can't afford to lose this person!"
As soon as Ouyang Hong said this, Ouyang Qin felt the obvious threat, then laughed at himself, and then looked at his father Ouyang Hong steadily.
A moment later, a drop of hot blood fell from the corner of his eye, and Ouyang Qin choked out a sob and said, "If I don't have the last name Ouyang, then I'll take my brother's last name Lian."
After saying this, Ouyang Qin looked at Ouyang Jin with red eyes: "Brother, my last name is Lian."
Ouyang Jin was not polite and responded directly: "If you are willing, you can share the same surname with me."
"good."
After responding, Ouyang Qin smiled miserably, and then looked at Ouyang Hong, who seemed a little bit unbelieving: "Master Ouyang, please come in."
Before Ouyang Hong could come to his senses, Chen Yanhua jumped out and said, "You want to leave the clan? That's fine. Your two families shared a lot of things back then. Now that you're leaving the clan, hand them all over to me. They belong to me."
Ouyang Jin looked at Ouyang Hong with a firm gaze and said, "Master Ouyang, please rest assured. As long as you can cross our two branches off the family tree, we will not only return all those things as Madam Ouyang said, but we will also consider the reclaimed land as your responsibility."
It must be said that Ouyang Jin's last sentence struck Ouyang Hong and Ouyang Hui's family in the throat, causing them to think deeply.
Witness Li Zi was a shrewd man. He understood Ouyang Jin's idea after careful consideration, and then he secretly added fuel to the fire: "That won't do."
"Although these reclaimed lands are registered under your name, Ouyang Jin, and his name, Ouyang Qin, they are not yours yet. You have no say in the matter."
Hearing Li Zi's negative voice, Ouyang Hong looked at his half-smile and felt that this guy didn't disagree at all, but was actually up to something...
After restraining the expression in his eyes, Ouyang Hong winked at his eldest son Ouyang Hui.
Ouyang Hui understood and hurried to Li Zi, saying with some difficulty: "Manager Li, how about we just do as they say and register the wasteland over there in our name?"
As the words fell, a silver note in Ouyang Hui's hand unknowingly fell into the palm of Manager Li.
Li Zi's face remained calm, but he snorted in his heart: Is he addicted to taking advantage of others, or is he addicted to bullying others?
He turned his head and looked straight at Ouyang Hui, then lowered his head and seemed to think for a moment.
While Ouyang Hong and Ouyang Hui were waiting, Li Zi finally spoke.
"Ouyang Jin, Ouyang Qin, if you two families can accept the task of reclaiming wasteland again, then I agree to transfer the wasteland you have reclaimed to Ouyang Hui's name."
"I agree."
"I agree."
Listening to the two people's voices, Ouyang Hui walked to his father Ouyang Hong and whispered a few words. Then Ouyang Hong took out the family tree from his sleeve pocket and crossed out the Ouyang Jin and Ouyang Qin families from the family tree.
At the moment it was crossed out, Ouyang Jin and Ouyang Qin both felt a sense of relief in their bodies.
Li Zi looked at Ouyang Hong, who was still feigning sadness, then turned to look at Ouyang Jin and Ouyang Qin. He said seriously, "Since you've both decided to change your surnames, please come with me to the registration office. Your families can go home now and don't need to work today."
"Yes, thank you, Steward."
In this way, Li Zi took Ouyang Jin and his two families away from the wasteland, leaving Ouyang Hui and the others alone, rejoicing in the distance.
What they didn't know was that after Ouyang Jin and Ouyang Qin followed Li Zi to the registration office, changed their surnames, and received new tasks and left, Li Zi wrote a letter and sent it out along with the information he had investigated.
In the blink of an eye, it is the end of December and the weather is a bit cold.
In this freezing weather, no one wants to get up. The main reason is that the quilt is too warm and it is too cold outside.
As the weather turned cold, the ground froze as well, and the land reclamation work came to a halt.
Early this morning, the brothers Lian Jing and Lian Qin stayed in their room and talked.
"Brother, the land is frozen and can't be cultivated. I heard that this freeze will last until at least February next year."
"Yes, I know about this. I was just thinking about it. Do you think we should let the children at home continue their studies?"
Hearing this bold idea coming out of his brother's mouth, Lian Qin immediately looked at Lian Jing in shock and asked in a low voice: "We are exiled prisoners, how can we continue our studies?"
Lian Jing nodded and whispered, "Our surname is Lian now, and we have no connection with the Ouyang family anymore. Have you forgotten the paper that Manager Li asked them to sign?"
When asked by Lian Jing, Lian Qin suddenly looked up in surprise, then smiled and said, "Yes, how could I have forgotten that piece of paper? We are now the family tree of the Lian family, and we have nothing to do with them."
"Brother, why do I feel that Manager Li seems to be taking special care of us?" After saying this, Lian Qin thought for a moment and added, "No, I think he seems to be taking care of you, and I'm just taking care of you by the way."
Lian Jing was also puzzled by Lian Qin's words, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how much he thought about it. He even tried to test the manager a few days ago, but failed.
But, because of this, he became even more confused.
The two brothers were talking in the house, but they didn't know that Lian Mingli and Lian Feiluo, the brother and sister at home, were sitting in a room in the backyard of the registry office.
The person with the brother and sister was the Li Zi they were talking about.
If they were there at that moment, they would see Li Zi's face full of shock and his mouth that could fit an egg.
