He was really reluctant to let Village Chief Xu hand over the land deed with the changed name to the Ke family.
He glanced at Shu Jiaying and saw her nodded calmly, then he handed the deed to the house to Ke.
But he still emphasized: "You have the deed now. I hope you can fulfill your promise and stop making things difficult for Jiaying. Just quit while you are ahead!"
Mrs. Ke grabbed the deed and looked at the names on it. Seeing Shu Wenqing's name and her own name appear side by side in the holder column, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
But he still said with disdain: "Master, look at what you are saying. Since my eldest daughter is willing to be self-reliant, we as elders will naturally not object, but I have to say something upfront."
Turning to face Shu Jiaying, Mrs. Ke said, "Girl...you chose your own path. Now that you've dared to distance yourself from your father and me in front of all the villagers, if you run into any problems in the future...you'll have to handle them yourself. You know, spilled water can't be undone, understand?"
Shu Jiaying also took back the deeds to the thatched cottage and land, which had been changed to her own name, from Village Chief Xu. She agreed calmly, "Don't worry, Aunt Ke. From now on, whether we are rich or poor, honor or disgrace, we will not be involved in each other's affairs."
This was exactly what Mrs. Ke was waiting for. She clapped her hands and looked at Shu Wenqing with a dull look.
"Old man, now that we've finished our work, let's go back. Now that the eldest girl has her own nest, we can convert her former residence into a barn for livestock. We can then raise a flock of chickens and ducks, and we won't have to worry about eating meat during the holidays."
Shu Wenqing said "hmm" lightly, and left Village Chief Xu's house with his children.
Even after Yang Xiaoxian and the midwife left, Village Chief Xu still felt unbalanced. He couldn't help but grumble, "Jiaying, why are you so stupid? Now, apart from the little money you have, you really have nothing. And that thatched house that's been in disrepair for so long... How can anyone live in that house?"
Alas... I wonder how you're going to live in the future!"
Shu Jiaying knew that Village Chief Xu was concerned about her, so she comforted him, "It's okay, Uncle Xu. Things will work out in the end. I have hands and feet, so why would I starve to death? Actually, that thatched cottage in the back mountain is not bad either. Once I buy all the tools and renovate it, I guarantee it will be much more comfortable than the one I lived in before."
“…You girl, how can you be so careless?
Sigh...never mind, maybe this is your fate!"
“…”
Shu Jiaying didn't want to continue this deep topic, so she pulled Village Chief Xu to a chair and sat him down.
"Uncle Xu, I noticed that your breathing seems a little rapid. If you trust me, I would like to take your pulse."
"What's wrong with my breathing? I'm just mad at your father and your stepmother. Seriously, I've never seen parents like this before."
Having said that, Village Chief Xu still handed his hand to Shu Jiaying.
Shu Jiaying smiled without saying anything. She first pressed Xu Lichang's floating and sinking meridians, and then she pressed Xu Lichang's Kongzui acupoint a few inches above the sinking meridian.
At this moment, Shu Jiaying saw that Village Chief Xu hissed out as if in sudden pain. She stopped what she was doing and asked, "Uncle Xu, besides your severe cough lately, are you feeling any other discomfort?"
