54 Grat.i.tude
The two of them had just set off when Lin Dachui came with First Uncle Lin.
Everyone noticed that Lin Dachui had a wound on his forehead and had their own guesses.
Lin Dachui did not care about the villagers’ gossip and gave the money and the land t.i.tle to Liu Shi in front of the village chief.
“You are ruthless,” said First Uncle Lin.
Liu Shi avoided his gaze and didn’t reply.
“Remember, from now on, whether you live or die, don’t come back to us! Hmph!” After saying that, he left with his father and brother.
Liu Shi staggered and she almost fell again.
Lin Xiaoyue hurriedly held her.
Her eyes narrowed as she looked at their backs.
She said, “we’ll remember what you said. As your niece, I’ll give you one last piece of advice. Only believe in your own children. Don’t be foolish enough to give up your own children for the sake of your brother. Otherwise, you might end up like us.”
First Uncle Lin’s body froze, and he almost fell on his feet.
Lin Dachui, on the other hand, quickened his pace. He didn’t want to hear more from Lin Xiaoyue.
That girl was trying to sow discord. Perhaps his eldest son would also leave his family.
After they left, Lin Xiaoyue thanked the villagers again before everyone left.
Then, Lin Xiaoyue asked Uncle w.a.n.g to help her cut a few more pieces of meat.
Two of the three-catty pieces were given to Li Gengtian and Li Laishun respectively, thanking them for helping her carry the boar and cleaning it. The remaining five catties were given to the villagers as a token of grat.i.tude.
“I didn’t help much. In the end, you guys are the ones who suffered the loss.” Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue gave him the best meat, the village chief refused to accept it.
“Please accept it. If it weren’t for you, we probably wouldn’t have gotten it today.” Lin Xiaoyue handed the meat to him again.
“Aiya, just take it. It’s her way of showing appreciation.” The village chief’s wife smiled and looked at her husband.
The village chief looked at the expressions of grat.i.tude on their faces and finally accepted the meat.
Because it was too heavy, he handed the meat to his son.
“I’ll report the matter of establishing a female household to the authorities tomorrow. It should be done within three days.” The village chief looked at Liu Shi.
“Thank you!” Liu Shi quickly thanked the village chief.
“You’re welcome. This is my duty as the village chief.”
“However, what are you going to do next?” The village chief looked at the dilapidated house in front of him.
“This house is not livable.”
This was his first time coming here. If he had not seen it with his own eyes today, he would not have known that they were actually living in such a dilapidated house.
Fortunately, they had received Lin Laosan’s inheritance. Now, they at least had the money to renovate the house.
“Regarding the house, I plan to discuss it with mom to see if we can rebuild the house,” Lin Xiaoyue said.
The village chief frowned slightly. Seeing that Liu Shi was looking at her daughter helplessly, he didn’t say anything.
It wasn’t easy to build a house, but this girl was confident right now. As an elder, he didn’t want to discourage her. Her mother was here after all. She should come up with a reasonable plan later on.
So the village chief left too.
Liu Shi was weak, so they asked her to stay while Lin Xiaoyue brought Lin Xiaozhi to send the village chief’s family off.
She then looked back and saw that the w.a.n.g family was still helping them tidy up the yard.
