"Brother, I want to take the child with me!"
"What? Are you stupid or what?"
Xie Ming's words nearly made Xie Liudi's beard fall off in shock.
"Xie Xing's matter has inevitably affected the marriages of the children. It will be easier for them to find families in the south, and I'm very envious of the family fortune they'll receive. You and I both saw how destitute Uncle was when he left. Now look at how much wealth he's built up; you can see how much money he makes over there. I want to send my grandson to school; I don't want them to spend their whole lives toiling in the fields like I have."
Xie Ming's voice was soft, but everyone around him heard it.
Indeed, the villagers of Heman Village are capable of sending a child to school, but if they actually did so, the whole family would have to tighten their belts.
If we go there, we can sell the land in our hometown, and the extra money can greatly reduce the burden on our family.
"Besides, the clan chief also said that there are people sent by the clan uncle to take care of things along the way. I don't want to miss out on such a good thing."
"Second brother, we need to think this over carefully, don't rush!"
Upon hearing Xie Ming's words, Xie Liushan lost his previous detachment and, like the other clansmen, showed a troubled expression on his face.
"What if you and I leave our third brother?"
“My third brother has become someone’s son-in-law. The clansmen are naturally unwilling to let him get such a good thing, but they still have to discuss it with him.”
"Of course!"
Xie Ming had already made arrangements for Xie Liushan's side, and his father-in-law turning a blind eye to his "moving" couldn't be considered a bad person.
In their previous life, they fled famine in a hurry, and after several families were separated, only the third brother's family survived.
Later, after learning that there were no more survivors in the family, his father-in-law agreed to let Xie Liushan's son and daughter be adopted by Xie Ming and Xie Liudi. It was indeed a very kind gesture.
So, in order to take care of his third brother, Xie Ming arranged a rice and flour business for Xie Liushan's father-in-law's family in the prefecture of Nanquan.
Once they make contact, they'll be there frequently. As long as both families go there, Xie Liushan's family will stay in the south for a year or two, allowing them to escape the famine.
Whether they will settle down depends on the father-in-law.
The clan discussed the matter for most of the day without reaching a conclusion, but to everyone's surprise, the elderly clan chief announced that his entire family would be moving.
You should know that his family is quite wealthy, and given his status as the clan leader, it's truly unbelievable that he would leave his homeland.
However, after this incident, many people in the clan began to change their previous ideas.
The village was immediately abuzz with excitement after such a big event. Xie Zhu was also extremely hesitant after hearing about it from the old man; the matter was simply too difficult to decide.
Her family is living a relatively comfortable life now. Their annual income is not much, but the surplus is enough to support a generation.
In addition, the couple is not young anymore, so they also have to consider whether they can withstand the long journey.
Also, the daughters-in-law's families are here. Are the daughters-in-law willing to leave?
These are all problems.
Xie Ming's family didn't have these worries; his children couldn't wait to leave.
Xie Xing's affair has become too ugly. She either had to support her family or wasn't buried in her ancestral home. The most shocking thing was what happened before the burial.
Now, not only is it difficult for them to find people here, but people also gossip about them.
The matter was only finalized after Xie Liushan returned with his wife.
