Liu Lao Er went up and tried to grab He Cuihua.
“He Cuihua, don’t push your luck. The clan is only thinking about you and your orphan mother. If you continue to act this way, don’t blame me for being rude to you.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than he was sent flying again.
It landed right on his elder brother's grave mound, forming a large "X" shape, and landed steadily on the grave mound.
Startled, he yelled and jumped up from the grave.
He had initially thought his son had been kicked away by the little one due to a mistake.
Or perhaps it was because the son was deliberately letting the little brat win, since it would be too much to actually hit such a small child.
The people in their clan would also look down on them.
I really didn't expect this little brat to be so strong. That kick made him feel pain in his front and back, as if his ribs were broken.
The rest of the clan were startled and retreated, especially the old and frail ones.
This isn't our own business.
Whether Liu Lao Er can get the boat or not depends entirely on his own abilities.
In other words, Liu Lao Er promised each of them a benefit of 200 yuan.
Only then did the four families step forward to help Liu Lao Er do such a shameful thing.
But to be honest, they only received 200 yuan in benefits; the other benefits were irrelevant to them.
Nobody would risk their life for personal gain.
"You little brat, how dare you hit me? Do you believe I'll kill you?"
Liu Lao Er rushed over, wanting to grab a handy tool.
He tried to pull the shovel out, but after two strong pulls, he couldn't get it out. It felt like the shovel was welded to the ground.
Someone couldn't help but burst out laughing, and Liu Lao Er's face turned bright red.
The clan chief snorted coldly and coughed twice.
"Alright, Liu Lao Er. Stop making a fuss. Your brother is already buried. Death is the greatest thing, and burial is the most peaceful thing. Let's just let this matter go."
The clan chief then spoke to He Cuihua in a feigned manner.
"Sister-in-law Dazhuang, since it is Dazhuang's wish to adopt this child, then you should live a good life from now on and abide by the rules of our village."
If you just live your lives well, what other opinions could we possibly have?
Even if Da Zhuang is gone, he would still want to see you and your daughters living a good life.
He Guihua gripped her daughter's hand tightly and whispered.
"Chief, I know your good intentions. Don't worry, we will definitely make a good living and we will not starve to death."
She didn't know why the clan chief said that!
It's because they've already buried the person and have no choice but to accept this fact.
Or is it for some other reason?
But no matter which one it is, as long as she gets through this hurdle, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Liu Lao Er followed behind the clan leader and the others, saying.
"Chieftain, you can't just ignore this matter! You took my money!"
The clan chief stood still, and Liu Lao Er almost bumped into him before realizing that the clan chief was staring at him with a cold face.
The knife in his eyes almost stabbed him several times.
Realizing he had made a slip of the tongue and let something slip, he quickly said...
"Chieftain, look at what has happened. I was just trying to help my sister-in-law."
Otherwise, how would they, a widow and her orphan, survive?
I bought their boat because I genuinely wanted to do good for them.
My older brother is gone, so it's only right that I take care of my sister-in-law and niece. I bought them a boat so they could make a living. Otherwise, who would fish for them?
The clan chief relaxed when he saw that Liu Lao Er was sensible and did not bring up the matter of giving money again.
"Liu Lao Er, this matter is already a fait accompli. Your eldest brother has already been buried, and so many eyes in the village are watching."
You think you can do whatever you want with this?
Since things have come to this, why don't you just give them the boat!
"What? Chieftain, the ship has been given to them."
Then wouldn't I have wasted my time and effort?
"How could you be so stupid? What good would it do to give it to them?"
Who can fish, the mother and her four daughters or that child?
Since they can't catch fish, let them struggle for a few days. When they run out of food, they'll naturally ask you for help.
It would be perfectly logical for you to buy the boat at a lower price later.
Why bother arguing with people like this, acting all high and mighty?
But you're not in the right. This boat belongs to someone else. If He Cuihua doesn't want to sell, what can you do to force her to sell?
The clan chief can't force people to deliver ships.
Upon hearing this, Liu Lao Er suddenly realized, "That's right."
These women can't go fishing on the boat, and that little brat is even less capable.
In that case, we'll leave the mother and her daughters hanging for a while. Once they're desperate, the boat will naturally fall into our hands.
He immediately beamed and approached the elders.
"Chieftain, you're the one with the best brain. Look at me, my stupid brain couldn't have come up with anything."
"Yes, if they're left to starve for days, what's the point of keeping that boat?"
A group of people with ulterior motives left the mother and daughter, along with the seven boys, and burned all the paper before slowly descending the mountain.
Although He Cuihua had let today's events pass, her brow remained furrowed.
Of course, I know this matter is far from over. The family doesn't have much food, and the grain is distributed every six months.
The time for distributing grain in the village is approaching, and the distribution of grain depends on the male members of each family.
But on the other hand, they still rely on their own fishing for the majority of the profits!
After the fish are handed over, they are counted as work points.
Calculated by work points.
But her husband had been sick for more than a month before he left, and he was unable to go fishing at all.
If calculated by work points, they probably wouldn't get much grain.
Not to mention that from now on, no one can go fishing.
Look at your own children.
None of them were old enough. Even if they were old enough, there was an unwritten rule in the village that women were not allowed to go on the boat; if a woman went to sea, someone would die.
If she dares to go out to sea to fish, the whole village will come and tear down her roof.
But among all the family members, I'm the only adult, and I can't just let my eldest child go fishing.
Although Da Bao is strong, fishing relies on more than just strength.
For a moment, He Cuihua was so distressed that she couldn't eat.
Because he was carrying the coffin, Qi Zai didn't have time to observe his surroundings when he went up the mountain.
But when he came down the mountain, he realized that it was a beautiful place with mountains and water, clear water and lush greenery, and the temperature was just right. The surrounding mountains were covered with trees.
The air is humid.
From the mountainside, one can see a vast expanse of azure sea in the distance.
There should be a dock in sight, with many boats moored there, including large and small boats, and busy fishermen coming and going.
Sure enough, this village made its living by fishing.
Seven followed his so-called family back to the courtyard.
