Chapter 77 An unexpected encounter

"Oh, and the boat at home."

Lian Dahai ignored his parents' ugly faces and said, "When we bought the boat, you gave me two taels of silver. I won't take advantage of you two. Just give me three taels of silver."

"No! Most of our family's income depends on the fishing boat. What will we do if you take the fishing boat?"

The old couple's subconscious words made Lian Dahai's heart harden. He didn't say anything, but looked at the patriarch pitifully.

The old patriarch looked at Lian Fugui and his wife coldly and asked them, "If we don't give you a boat, are you going to go fishing on your own? Who is going to go fishing? Is it you and your wife or your husband and wife?"

Everyone in the village knew that since the boat was put on the river, fishing was almost entirely the job of the father and son. Lian Fugui rarely went on the boat anymore, and even if he did, he only sorted out the catch, not contributing much.

Lian Fugui was speechless. He didn't want to get on a boat again at his age. The second child was afraid of water, and there was really no one in the family who could take over the boat.

"You can't just take it away like that. The whole family depends on it for food and drink."

"Okay, then I don't want this boat anymore. I spent five taels of silver when I bought it. Father, give me another three taels and I'll give you the boat."

Lian Dahai was very dry and fragile, and he could use the money from the division of the family to buy a new ship. Although it would cost more money, he didn't care as long as he could divide the family clearly.

Lian Fugui was now anxious, as he had no use for the boat and the old boat was worthless if he sold it. When he saw that the patriarch had nodded in agreement, he immediately shouted that he didn't want the boat anymore.

If you can save two taels, then do it. The eldest brother has offended you badly, so if you keep a little more money, the second brother will feel better.

Seeing that there were no objections, the old patriarch asked the village chief to write the separation deed without asking Lian Dayou any questions.

With him, the village chief and other elders as witnesses, the family was completely divided.

"Da Hai, I'm going to the city soon. Please ask Xiao Shan to go with me and change his household registration to your name."

"Okay! Thank you for your help, village chief."

Lian Dahai finally felt a little relieved. He ignored his parents and second brother and took his two sons back home first.

As soon as I entered the house, I met Lotus yawning and coming out of the house, and even Dahai's face turned dark.

I wanted to take this girl with me this morning, but she was not at home.

No wonder she didn't come out to eat meat yesterday.

"Dad? Why didn't you and brother go out to sea?"

Now that Lian Dahai knew that this was not his daughter, he was too bothered to even look at her any longer and went back to Xiaohe's house without paying any attention to Lotus.

"Xiaoshan, take this one or two taels of silver. When you get to the city, follow the village chief to register your household registration. When you're done, go out and buy some new clothes and some delicious food."

One or two ounces of silver that have been owed for many years is definitely not enough, but there are many places in the family that need money now, and even the sea can only squeeze out this one or two ounces of silver.

"After you leave, I will build the courtyard wall with your elder brother and tidy up the house. Then we won't be able to see people coming in and out."

Xiaoshan nodded and glanced at the next door when he walked out.

At this time, my mother still doesn't know...

How could Lian Dahai not know what his son was thinking? He quickly said to him, "Don't worry, I will tell your mother about this later."

"Thank you, Dad..."

"We are father and son, what is there to thank each other for? Go pack your things and bring them over. Your elder brother and I are at home. Go to the village chief's house and wait."

Xiaoshan returned to his little room with a relaxed look on his face, and took his few rags of clothes and some small things he made on a daily basis to his eldest brother's room.

"Brother Xiaoshan, what are you doing?"

As soon as Xiaoshan saw Hehua, he remembered her disgusting words. He imitated his father's indifferent attitude and just left.

Lian Hehua was very angry in the morning. Just when she wanted to go back to the house to complain to her mother, she suddenly saw her grandfather and her second uncle's family coming back with their heads down and looking sad.

It feels like something big has happened...

It was predictable that there would be chaos at home, but Xiaoshan was not worried at all. With Dad at home, no one could make trouble.

He went directly to the village chief's house, and soon followed the village chief to the Yin family.

"Huh? Brother Xiaoshan!"

As soon as Jiang Wan saw him, she felt like she was being scratched by a cat. She rushed over to ask him if he had bought any wine for the family yesterday.

Xiao Shan smiled and nodded, "I bought it back last night. They really spoke the truth after drinking. It's all thanks to your advice, Xiao Wan. Now my uncle...my father has already recognized me as his own. I just went to the clan leader this morning to divide the family, and now I am going to the city with the village chief to change my household registration."

"Great! Brother Xiaoshan, you have great execution ability. You did it right away without delay. You solved it right away."

Jiang Wan praised him so much that Xiaoshan felt embarrassed.

The old village chief didn't hear clearly what the two said, but as he watched them talking and laughing, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

Are these two children suitable?

Uh... one is only twelve and the other is already eighteen. No, Xiaoshan is a little too old to be worthy of her.

The old village chief quickly gave up the idea and took the three of them to the ferry to take a boat.

"Let's go to Jinhua's house first. The house sale contract needs to be signed and registered with the government before it's valid. It's a good opportunity to handle Xiaoshan's matter together."

After the old village chief finished speaking, he stared at Xiaoshan and told him not to tell anyone about the mother and daughter buying a house. Xiaoshan nodded in surprise.

He is not a talkative person.

Jiang Wan and her mother are so powerful that they were able to buy the small stone house from Grandma Jinhua with just one move.

That room costs several taels of silver.

Xiaoshan touched the small piece of silver in his pocket and suddenly smiled. He would earn a lot of money in the future to give to his parents and build them a big house far away from his second uncle's family.

As they were talking, they entered the city. The old village chief hadn't been here for several years but he still remembered the way. He found a small courtyard without asking anyone along the way.

I went up the hill and knocked on the door, and soon a young woman's voice responded.

"Come on, come on, who is it?"

The young woman opened the door and when she saw it was the old village chief from her husband's village, she immediately smiled and invited him in.

She was just talking about going to call her mother-in-law out when she suddenly saw the mother and daughter behind the hill.

"It's you!!"

The smile on Sun's face suddenly became extremely warm, and she pulled Yin Huaixi towards the yard.

"I'm so sorry for you last time, otherwise our family would have to spend a lot of money in vain."

The old village chief was confused, and Xiaoshan couldn't understand him either. But Jiang Wan recognized him.

This was the woman with the baby whom she and her mother met when they were selling medicine in the pharmacy.

It was quite an oolong at that time.

I never expected to meet you here.

She called Grandma Jinhua "mother-in-law", which meant she was the mistress of the family.

Eh? Didn’t the little fat kid in the village say that Grandma Jinhua had no descendants? But this woman has such a big son.
