The atmosphere at the scene plummeted to freezing point once again; everyone remained silent, as if shrouded in a layer of icy coldness. Su Chenshi, meanwhile, continued to display her arrogant and unreasonable demeanor, inspiring disgust in everyone. The village chief, his beard bristling with rage, could hardly contain his fury.
Luo Yunhe frowned, walked up to the village chief, and her gaze fell on the land deed. She carefully examined the handwriting and patterns on the paper, but she was puzzled by the location marked on the deed.
"Village chief, may I ask where this land is located exactly?" Luo Yunhe asked softly, trying to get an answer from the village chief.
The village chief shook his head helplessly. He knew that although the location was large, the houses were in extremely poor condition and uninhabitable. He worried that Luo Yunhe might make a wrong decision due to a moment of impulse.
"Girl, don't be fooled by the numbers on the surface. The houses here are uninhabitable. You should think carefully and not do something foolish!" the village chief kindly reminded her.
Luo Yunhe smiled slightly, indicating her understanding. But she insisted on finding out the exact location.
“Village chief, I just want to know exactly where this location is. We can talk about other things later,” she said firmly.
The village chief sighed, but finally told her the exact location: "It's in front of those four acres of land. In other words, go south from your current piece of wasteland, and you'll see a river. The land on the other side of the river belongs to you. At the end of those four acres, there's an open space with some dilapidated thatched huts around it—that's it."
After listening, Luo Yunhe quickly recalled the scene of that place in her mind. Sure enough, she remembered seeing a few thatched huts near the wasteland.
The location is quite large and very close to a water source. Living there wouldn't be too far from the village. Wouldn't it be easier for her to build a brewery there in the future, given the ample space?
Luo Yunhe quickly approached Su Jingxuan and unconsciously told him her thoughts, seeking his consent.
Su Jingxuan was initially unwilling to take the land and house, but after hearing what Luo Yunhe said and his future plans, he hesitated.
"But, no one can live there at all. What if it rains?"
"My husband, do you believe me?"
Su Jingxuan fell silent as he looked into her determined eyes, for he could see perseverance and hope for the future in them.
"Okay, I believe you!"
Seeing his unwavering trust in her, Luo Yunhe smiled gently, reached out her hand, and clasped his hand tightly.
Su Jingxuan felt the calluses on her hands, and his eyes fell silent.
However, he eventually spoke up before him.
“Village chief, since my parents insist on this, then give us the site of that abandoned thatched hut.”
"Jingxuan, you're being foolish. How can anyone live in those dilapidated thatched huts?"
Despite the excruciating pain, Su Jingxuan slowly managed a smile: "Village Chief, I believe that as long as my wife and I work hard, housing will not be a problem at all!"
Seeing how determined this young couple was, it seemed they were determined to go to that abandoned thatched hut.
"Village chief, since they want it, just give it to them. What are you hesitating for?"
"That's right, Grandpa Village Chief, you shouldn't always side with them. They brought it up themselves, we didn't force them!"
The village chief hesitated, but seeing that Su Jingxuan showed no intention of giving up, he sighed helplessly and finally nodded.
"Okay!" He quickly rewrote the land deed, stamped it with his seal, and made two copies as well.
"The property deed needs to be stamped by the government. I will give you the deed after it is stamped!"
The village chief saw that the houses and land had already been divided up, and all that was left was thirty taels of silver. He gave the land worth thirty taels of silver to Su Jingxuan, and finally the twenty dan of grain.
"Village chief, we'll be moving twenty loads of grain tomorrow!" Su Jingxuan said.
"Okay! I'll ask some people from the village to help you tomorrow!"
"Thank you, Village Chief!"
The village chief sighed deeply again, packed his things quickly, and left.
As the village chief left, Su Chenshi glared fiercely at the two of them again.
Luo Yunhe was equally unconvinced and glared back fiercely. However, he was so handsome that even with such a fierce look, he looked cute and adorable!
"What are you glaring at? Since you're already in a feudal society, take your things and leave!" Madam Su Chen showed no mercy and started to shoo them away.
"Sister-in-law, even though we've separated the family, you don't have to be so ruthless. Can't you wait until tomorrow?"
"Yes, Jingxuan's leg is already like this, so just let them move it tomorrow!"
"Su Chenshi, you've gone to such extremes. You'll regret this later. Besides, it's already so dark. You're asking them to move now? Don't you have any conscience? That leg is like this because of you. Don't make things difficult for them today!"
The villagers outside also chimed in. Su Chenshi's face flushed crimson at their words.
"What business is it of yours what their family affairs are? Mind your own business and stop pointing fingers..."
"Tch, you're so fierce, karma will come back to haunt you eventually!"
Hearing the commotion outside, the Su family members' expressions weren't very pleasant, because their third sister-in-law's words were indeed quite excessive.
"Third brother, this was originally your family matter. We came here because we thought you were in the right, but we didn't expect you to do such an outrageous thing."
He is your eldest son, and now he's in this state. You still want to kick him out overnight? If word gets out, it won't do our Su family any good reputation.
"You decide what to do!" After saying this, Boss Su led his family away in a grand procession.
Su Chenshi was still cursing and swearing when Su Shan stopped her: "Stop arguing! There are so many people here. You may not feel ashamed, but I do."
"Since they've already separated, let them move out tomorrow!" After saying this, Su Shan gave Su Jingxuan and Luo Yunhe another deep look before turning and leaving.
At this moment, Su Ruyi, Su Jingxing, and Zhang Lingling realized that the entire house had been smashed to pieces, and they had nowhere to step tonight.
