Sun Xueyao was very worried about this issue; if they had nowhere to stay, what would they do in the future?
This stumped Sun Yun, as he had no idea what to do.
"I'll look for a place in a bit, don't worry. If it doesn't work out, we can stay at an inn for a couple of days."
Sun Xueyao was somewhat disappointed to hear this. She thought they could live in a big house, but she didn't expect that they didn't even know where they would live.
"Father, I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you've been dragged into this."
At that moment, Sun Xueyao also realized that if it weren't for her, they wouldn't have had to move.
"Don't say that, you're just kind."
They quickly comforted their daughter, and after comforting her, Sun Yun went to the street to find a place to stay, while Lan Cao was responsible for packing things.
Sun Yun searched for a long time and found a small courtyard, which he bought for fifty taels of silver. Now they could transfer their household registration here as well, but they would have to spend more money, which would be another expense.
The yard was small, smaller than the houses in their village, and empty, but it was the best house they could afford.
After buying it, he went home.
Just then, Fangmian's mother arrived and was discussing moving with Lancao.
"My in-laws are back. I was just saying, let's move together tomorrow. Have you found a place to stay yet?"
Sun Yun was a little confused. What did it have to do with his family if he hadn't found the right person? And now they were complaining about him.
"We've found a place, but we don't need your help. We can move ourselves."
He didn't want to see that family; seeing them would make him very angry. If Fang had been smarter and recognized them as bandits, none of this would have happened.
Now things are really messed up. Their houses and land will be taken back at half price, and they will be driven out of the village and removed from the family genealogy... In other words, their family will have absolutely no connection with this village anymore.
Fang Niang didn't want to help them move; she wanted to live with them.
"Father-in-law, you're being too polite. The wedding dates for the two children are approaching, so it's time for both families to help each other out. How about we live together? Don't worry, we'll definitely pay the rent. What do you say?"
Sun Yun immediately understood; this person wanted to eat and stay for free.
"You know, the two of them aren't married yet. What would it look like if they lived together? There are plenty of houses for rent on the street. You can go and rent one yourselves. This involves two children. Let's talk about marriage after this matter is over."
Sun Yun's tone was somewhat resentful, and Fang Niang immediately got angry, "In-law, what do you mean by this?"
Don't forget, the two of them have exchanged their engagement documents and will definitely get married in the future. Isn't it good for the two families to help each other out now?
I didn't even mention how badly your daughter has harmed my son!
"How did my daughter harm your son! It's your son who dragged my daughter down with him!"
The two started arguing at the door, and it was the clan chief who came over with his men to check on them.
"Stop arguing, what kind of behavior is this? Hurry up, we're here to settle accounts with you."
Sun Yun and the other person stopped and looked at the clan leader.
"We have sorted out the fields and houses of your two families. Take a look and see if they are suitable for you. Then we can start giving you money. After you sign and seal the documents, we will watch you leave first thing tomorrow morning."
From now on, you are not allowed to say that you are from our village.
It would be a lie to say they weren't saddened by these words, but Sun Yun and the others knew that there was no turning back now.
"Okay, thank you, clan chief."
Sun Yun's attitude is alright now; there's nothing you can do if she's unwilling.
"Fangmian, you go back first, we'll come over to your house in a bit."
Fang Niang glared at Sun Yun fiercely and went back.
Sun Yun is doing well. Over the years, thanks to his mother and younger brother, he has managed to acquire twenty mu of land, which yields eight taels of silver per mu, or eighty taels of silver in total.
As for the house, they gave ten taels, and the mountain land another five taels, for a total of 95 taels. That was quite good, considering that many families only earned a few taels of silver a year. Of course, this was because Sun Yun's family was wealthy; Fang's family was not.
His family only gave him twenty taels, which was all the money he had for most of his life.
Fang's mother was furious when she saw the small amount of silver. It represented all of their family's savings, and this was all she had to give them.
It seems that going out to acquire more property and buy more land... is simply not enough if they can't stay with Sun Yun's family. They don't even dare to think about living in the county town. Living in the county town means there's no way to earn money; they can only sit around and eat their savings away. Besides, they can't afford to buy anything there.
Farmers always feel that land is the most important thing. Without a household registration, they can't buy land. Their current household registration is in the village, and the village chief told them to quickly choose a place to transfer their household registration. Otherwise, they will apply to have it removed, and they will become unregistered residents.
Thinking about all this made her even more disgusted with Sun Xueyao.
