The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man-Chapter 907 - : 907 division 1

Chapter 907: 907 division 1

With that, Xiao Yuchuan’s tone took on a hint of sarcasm, “Better to give the money to anyone than to feed you two. Besides, the new county magistrate is coming. If I offer thirty taels as a gesture of respect to the new official, and he sends word for the village chief to take good care of the Xiao Family, which new village chief would dare to disobey? I could get rid of you two old fools any time I want! Get out!”

Old Zhang and Aunt Zhang had not expected Xiao Yuchuan to have thought things through so thoroughly; even they had not considered this approach. They had assumed that, owing to the conflict with the Li Family, the Xiao Family, flush with cash, would have no choice but to reluctantly pay out thirty taels. They hadn’t anticipated…

“You two old fools, aren’t you leaving, or do I need to throw you out myself?” Xiao Yuchuan suddenly stood up.

Startled, Old Zhang and Aunt Zhang quickly stood up and hurried out.

Aunt Zhang still said, “Wait until my old man becomes the village chief, then you’ll regret this!”

“Get lost! Who the hell would regret this!” Xiao Yuchuan snorted coldly.

Xiao Yishan came out of his room and asked, “Third brother, what happened?”

Xiao Yuchuan recounted the recent events in detail.

Xiao Yishan frowned, “Third brother, it would have been enough to just refuse them. There was no need to chase them away. In case Old Zhang really becomes the new village chief…”

“Whether they can’t get the money and leave politely or are told directly to get lost, won’t we still make enemies?” Xiao Yuchuan replied indifferently, “It’s better to make it clear now. The next time I see them, I won’t even bother to say hello.”

“You’re rash!” Xiao Yishan disagreed with his approach.

Xiao Yuchuan couldn’t be bothered to care.

At this time, Zhang Shun arrived at the entrance of the Xiao family’s courtyard, “Is everyone at home?”

“Ah, Zhang Shun, what’s up?” Xiao Yishan asked courteously.

“Here’s the thing, today the government office issued a new order. Today is the last day Liang Lizheng will serve. He said if there is anything he can deal with for any household, it should be done today. Your family had some matters with Liang Lizheng before, so you should hurry to his home now.”

Xiao Yishan glanced at the sky, “Isn’t it evening? The hour is late. Is Liang Lizheng still willing to deal with the villagers’ matters?”

“Liang Lizheng said his son and step wife have embarrassed the villagers, and he wants to do something for the villagers. As long as it’s before midnight tonight, it’s still considered today, and he’s still in office. Your family wanted to divide the family wealth, right? You should hurry over. The village chief said he could help you with it, and tomorrow he will present all his work to the government office.” Having said this, Zhang Shun added, “I’ve delivered the message, so I’ll take my leave now.”

“Take care.” Xiao Yishan’s attitude was lukewarm.

The Xiao family was all in the yard, and naturally, they had all heard what Zhang Shun said.

Xiao Yuchuan approached, “Second brother, let’s hurry to the village chief to divide the family wealth.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yishan felt a bitter taste in his heart. Rong’er was right, once the family was divided, everything would belong to the third brother. How selfish he was!

“Fourth Brother is not very mobile,” Xiao Yishan glanced at Xiao Qinghe, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

Xiao Qinghe said unconcernedly, “It’s fine. I can just go in my wheelchair. If we reach a place that’s not convenient for the wheelchair, second brother and third brother can give me a hand.”

He could certainly hear that second brother was not keen on dividing the family, but continuing like this wasn’t much fun either. It would be better to divide the family earlier rather than later.

Seeing Xiao Yishan remain silent, Xiao Yuchuan asked, “Second brother, do you have any objections?”

“Third brother, here’s the thing,” Xiao Yishan began, “I’m not sure how genuine your feelings for Yue’er are…”
