Chapter 57: Be Thick-skinned

Zhulan was acting as a background, watching the expressions of everyone in the hall, even Zhu. Look, since the clan leader started talking, Zhu, who was aware of current affairs, has not spoken a word. This man is indeed reckless, but he has his own way of survival!

No one can be underestimated!

Chief Zhou didn't need to talk to Zhang Datie, he just looked at Chief Zhang, "Everyone knows what happened, how Daqian grew up is no secret, Shuren was kind and could not bear the child's early death, but he couldn't bear the burden for nothing, the money Zhang Datie gave for the child's medical treatment was not much, five taels of silver."

He didn't mention the twenty taels. He knew Xue Han must be fine when Zhou Shuren and his wife calmly went to find him. He even suspected that the couple couldn't stand the trap and deliberately set it up. If that was true, he would have to spend more time with Zhou Shuren in the future.

Zhang clan leader and Zhang Datie thought similarly, thinking that Daqian was a child foster husband. However, Zhang thought more than Zhang Datie, thinking that Zhou Shuren had made two preparations. If the daughter's hand didn't heal well, Daqian would be the child foster husband. If it healed well, Datie would be a long-term worker in the future. He also felt sorry for Daqian, this child, and said, "I'll listen to you."

Zhulan was very emotional. This was because different identities required different ways of handling things. According to her and Zhou Shuren's method, this matter would have taken some time, but in the end they had just laid the groundwork and it was solved. This was the case for the whole village, not to mention the county or even the capital. In ancient times when imperial power was supreme, power was more intuitive.

Therefore, Zhou Shuren should work hard on his science studies. Otherwise, no matter how much money the family earns, it will be like a baby holding a gold ingot. If the baby can't bear it, he may die.

Zhang Datie was not convinced but did not dare to say anything. No matter how many thoughts he had, he did not dare to confront his tribe. "Take the money."

Zhu glared at him. Five taels of silver was the price for Daqian, but she dared to talk back even when the man was warning her. She was so angry that she glared at Daqian and went back to the house to get the money.

Zhulan saw through Zhang Datie's thoughts. When they didn't ask for a lot of money, Zhang Datie didn't think it was a big deal, but instead thought it was a trouble. When they asked for a lot of money, Zhang Datie was unwilling to accept it and thought that big money had more value. This is human nature.

Zhang Datie adjusted himself and clasped his fists towards Zhou Shuren, "I'll leave the big money to you, Uncle Zhou."

He changed his mind and thought it was a good idea. If he really became a child adoptive husband, his family wouldn't have to spend a lot of money and he could even steal things from the Zhou family in the future.

Zhou Shuren didn't even need to guess what Zhang Datie was thinking. He took out the deed written at Zhou's house, which came in three copies. "This is the deed that Daqian and Zhang Datie's family have severed their relationship and are living separately. There are three copies. Daqian will have no relationship with Zhang Datie's family in the future. Zhang Datie's family is not allowed to bother Daqian anymore."

Zhang Datie glared, "Uncle Zhou, this is not fair. No matter how rich he is, he is still my son."

How can you get any benefit if the relationship is severed?

Zhou Shuren smiled, "You were planning to sell Daqian, but why didn't you think about him being your son? Now that Daqian is dying of illness, you can say you don't have this son."

Chief Zhang's face darkened. The clan has its own rules. Selling one's son is absolutely not allowed. "Zhang Datie."

Zhang Datie was frightened. How did the Zhou family know? He had secretly found someone and was ready to say that the child was lost in the mountains. He could make a lot of money, and the family would not care if he abused the child, but he absolutely could not sell his son. His father sold him and was expelled from the family. He shuddered and said, "I didn't."

Zhou Shuren held up a pen and ink pad, "You can write your name, write it!"

Zhang Datie was afraid that the Zhou family would have evidence, so he wrote it unwillingly.

Patriarch Zhou took the pen and wrote his own name as well. That was very straightforward.

All the names were written in the hall, one was prepared for Li Zheng, one was given to clan leader Zhang, and he kept one for himself. When he saw Zhulan snatching money from Zhou, he signaled the eldest brother to carry the big money.

When the group reached the door, Zhou Shuren paused and said, "Daqian has a new name, Zhang Rongchuan. I hope that Daqian will be as broad-minded as the sea in the future and not be trapped by the hardships of his childhood."

Then he said to Zhang, the clan leader, "Uncle, I have a lot to do today. I will come to visit you in person tomorrow."

Patriarch Zhang knew that it was about the name of the child and the division of the child. He thought that the Zhou family had always been generous and smiled warmly, "Okay, uncle will wait at home."

Chief Zhou looked at Zhou Shuren deeply. Not only did he give him a name, but he was also telling him that the past was in the past. Zhou Shuren was also a man with a broad mind. He smiled and said, "I'm leaving now."

Zhou Shuren was forced to owe a favor, "Thank you for your help today, Chief."

Patriarch Zhou smiled and said, "It's what a family should do."

Zhulan, "......."

To be a clan leader you not only need to be smart, but also thick-skinned!
