“It’s fine if you don’t want to help,” Manager Jin said seriously, “I beg you not to interfere.”
That was his real purpose.
He knows his in-laws very well; they have a broad vision and think far ahead, which makes them very intimidating.
If she disagrees, she'll definitely find a way to ruin it.
This is the last thing he wanted to see.
“I’m not that free,” Jiang Nuan said meaningfully. “I’m not planning to go out today. Use whatever ideas you have.”
Manager Jin's methods were extremely brutal; he used silver to bribe his way out.
Over the years, they had saved up a lot of money, and they went directly to Huangshi with one hundred taels of silver.
"Clan Chief Huang," Manager Jin said very politely, "what are the conditions for settling in Huangjiakou?"
He cleverly asked directly about the conditions for obtaining residency, rather than whether it was even possible to obtain residency.
"Settle down in Huangjiakou?" Huang Shi was taken aback and asked in surprise, "You want to settle down in Huangjiakou?"
This guy must be out of his mind!
In Huangjiakou, there hasn't been a single family with a different surname for over a hundred years. How could they possibly allow someone to settle there?
“Yes,” Manager Jin pulled out a silver note, “This is for our settlement fee, is that alright?”
Chief Huang glanced at the silver notes and looked at Manager Jin in surprise.
They're really generous, spending fifty taels of silver at a time. That's all the money they'd spend building a school and repairing roads.
"Take this banknote back. Our village doesn't accept outsiders."
If it were before, he might have hesitated over such a large sum of money, but now, there's no need to consider it at all.
Although there is a lot of silver, the village doesn't really need it. The legacy of our ancestors should not be given to outsiders.
Thinking you can settle down with just the money from five acres of land? You're dreaming!
Upon hearing this, Manager Jin frowned and took out another fifty taels of silver. "Look, we're all family here. Can I add a little more?"
“If we say we won’t keep outsiders, then we won’t,” Village Chief Huang shook his head. “No amount of money will help.”
With more people from other families joining the family, many rules will have to change.
The Huang family is doing just fine, why do they have to make themselves unhappy?
One hundred taels of silver still hasn't been agreed to.
Manager Jin looked rather grim and had no choice but to leave Huang Shi's house dejectedly.
Seeing his unhappiness, Qiu Qian comforted him, "If we can't register our household registration, we can go somewhere else."
“You don’t understand,” Manager Jin shook his head, “There is no more suitable place than this.”
"It can't be that bad," Qiushan said skeptically. "Huangjiakou is such a small and remote place, so far from the county seat. What's so good about it?"
“Once the school is built and the roads are repaired, it will be a completely different scene,” Manager Jin said in a very distant tone. “And my in-laws, she is a capable woman. The future of Huangjiakou may exceed everyone’s imagination.”
“We don’t need to worry about the money we have,” Qiushan retorted. “Besides, the school isn’t important; the key is the teacher. Teachers are not so easy to find.”
"If we can't find it, it's because we're incompetent," Manager Jin disagreed. "It doesn't mean that everyone can't do it. Even if our in-laws are literate and can teach their children, they can still ask someone else to do it. Have you forgotten that the owner of Juquanlou is very close to her?"
"Then what do we do?" Akiyama spread his hands. "They won't accept it. We can't just hold a knife to their throats, can we?"
He didn't care where he settled down; as long as he had money in his pocket, it wouldn't matter where he went.
Huangjiakou didn't want to take him in, and he didn't want to be rejected, so he stubbornly refused to let him go.
