Jiang Jiuyue stretched out a finger and poked Li Juxiang directly.
"Who are you going to fight?"
Li Juxiang fell to the ground, and the blood rushing to her head gradually cooled down.
She was really out of her mind. How could she say in front of this evil star that she wanted to fight the second wife to the death?
Old Man Xu also quickly helped her up, pulled her up and whispered in her ear, "Give them the money first, and then the second brother and his family will go there. Then you can go to their house and make a scene, saying that I'm sick and need money, and ask them to give you money. If you make a scene so that all the villagers come to see you, I don't believe they won't give you the money."
Li Juxiang suddenly understood, her eyes showing smug joy, her old man is really smart!
Little did they know that Jiang Jiuyue had heard Old Man Xu's words clearly and was laughing at their wishful thinking in her heart.
When Chuntao and the others arrived, she asked them to pack their luggage and go to the county town with her. From then on, Xu Yonggui would work on the ship, and Chuntao would live in the county town with the children. The monthly salary of two taels was enough for their expenses.
Chuntao also has the skill of embroidery, but there is too much work in her husband's house, and she doesn't want to give all the money she earns to her mother-in-law, so she gave up the embroidery skill. As long as she works harder in the future and embroiders a few more handkerchiefs to sell, she can supplement the family expenses.
Old man Xu thought Li Juxiang had a good idea, so he immediately gave in and directly handed over the twenty-five taels of silver.
Chuntao and Xu Yonggui could not understand what Old Man Xu said, and they just thought the sudden change in attitude of the old couple was strange.
Having lived with Li Juxiang for so many years, Chuntao and Xu Yonggui knew better than anyone how much money mattered to her.
She had just gone mad and was ready to fight them for the silver, so how come her father just whispered a few words in her ear and gave the silver to them directly?
However, Chuntao and Xu Yonggui did not say anything. It was naturally a good thing for them that Li Juxiang had agreed, and Chuntao felt more confident. After all, she and Xu Yonggui would be able to follow Jiang Jiuyue into the city soon.
After the money and the land deeds were completed, Jiang Jiuyue said to Xu Yonggui, "Go and ask the head of the village to write a family document, so that you don't have to argue with these two old people in the future."
In Shanghe Village, the words of the village head are still very influential, and he is indispensable for major events like the Dong family.
Xu Yonggui nodded and quickly went to invite the village head over.
Now that the head of the village no longer had his son-in-law to rely on and had been severely criticized, he did not dare to be too presumptuous. When someone came to ask him to testify for the Wang family, he did not ask for any benefits and just came directly.
It was just that when the head of the village came to Xu's house and saw Jiang Jiuyue sitting in the main room, he turned around and wanted to run away as if he had seen a ghost.
"Village head, I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been recently? Are you still asking for favors from the villagers?"
Jiang Jiuyue greeted the head of the village with a fake smile. The head of the village felt weak in the knees, and he hated Xu Yonggui for not telling him earlier that Jiang Jiuyue was here. If he had known that Jiang Jiuyue was here, he would never have come even if he died!
"Don't be nervous, Li Zheng. I just asked you to come as a witness for the Wang family. We have no grudges recently. I won't do anything to you."
After Jiang Jiuyue said this, the village head became even more nervous. He inexplicably felt a sense of panic that Jiang Jiuyue was trying to trick him into killing him.
Finally, Chun Tao spoke up, "Li Zheng, Jiu Yue came to see me this time. She won't do anything to you. I promise."
Jiang Jiuyue spread her hands, "You didn't provoke me, why would I provoke you? I'm not bored and have nothing to do."
The village head felt relieved and walked into the main room tremblingly.
Because Jiang Jiuyue was there, the village head just wanted to get things done quickly, so he quickly helped write a document and read it out to everyone.
The gist of the document was that the second branch of the Xu family was leaving their parents' home today, and how the land and property would be divided. In the future, they should honor their parents during festivals and not ignore them.
"Village head, please add one more thing. From now on, the property of the two families will have nothing to do with each other. No matter whether one is poor or rich, the other family has no obligation to help the other."
Li Juxiang was unhappy when she heard this, and whispered back, "He is my son even after he left the family. If my old man gets sick or has any minor disaster in the future, won't they pay for it?"
Jiang Jiuyue patiently explained, "When my parents are sick and need money, it's natural that the two sons will share the responsibility. But no matter which family gets rich or poor in the future, it has nothing to do with the other family."
Old man Xu pulled Li Juxiang and said, "We are all farmers, who can get rich?"
Anyway, as long as the two old ones can use various excuses like being sick to ask the second one for money in the future, why bother about so many things?
Li Juxiang stopped talking and added this sentence on the document.
After the head of the village finished writing, he read it again, and then asked Old Man Xu and Li Juxiang to put their fingerprints on it, and then asked Chuntao and his wife to put their fingerprints on it. Then the family was completely separated.
"The document has been written. I have something else to do at home. I'll leave first."
After finishing these tasks, the village head didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. He just patted his butt and left.
Jiang Jiuyue sneered. This village head was really as cowardly as a mouse. He was so scared even though he hadn't provoked her. It would make people laugh if he went out to talk to her.
Chuntao pulled Jiang Jiuyue's clothes and said, "Jiuyue, we're done, let's go back to the house."
Li Juxiang originally wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks and ask them to move out quickly, but Jiang Jiuyue was present, so she had to swallow all her harsh words.
"Don't worry, mom. We'll pack our bags and move there. We won't make your dad unhappy."
Jiang Jiuyue and Dong Chuntao went back to the house and then told Xu Yonggui about working on the boat.
Xu Yonggui was shocked. How could Jiang Jiuyue be so capable? He had only been in the county town for a few days, but he already had his own boat?
After hearing that Jiang Jiuyue's boat was snatched from pirates, Xu Yonggui was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
"You don't have to worry about your safety when you work with me in the future. I have a friendship with Chuntao like this, so I won't let you take risks. As long as you work hard on the ship, your monthly salary will not be less. If you do a good job in the future, I will even give you a raise."
Chuntao also smiled and said, "Jiuyue is very capable. Yonggui, you should follow Jiuyue and work hard in the future. Our family will live better and better."
Xu Yonggui came to his senses and quickly agreed.
Chun Tao held Jiang Jiuyue's hand and said, "Jiuyue, to be honest, I really don't know how to thank you. You are my eternal benefactor. In the future, no matter what you ask us to do, we will never say no."
Jiang Jiuyue smiled and shook her head. "You are my friend. You took the risk to come to me and told me to leave quickly. You also gave me all the money you saved with great difficulty. I still remember it."
Chuntao really didn't expect that her small act of kindness would bring her such a big reward.
"But I still have to thank you, Jiuyue. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to go home, let alone live a good life in the county town."
Chuntao thanked Jiang Jiuyue from the bottom of her heart, and Xu Yonggui also bowed to Jiang Jiuyue. After they thanked each other for a long time, they packed their luggage and children and left the house where they had lived for many years.
