Hot Farmer's Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm-Chapter 53 - 53 42 taels

53 42 taels

A glint flashed across Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes.

She looked at Liu Shi, who was sitting by the door and looking at her.

Liu Shi was currently hugging Lin Xiaozhi, who was nestled in her arms, and she nodded at Lin Xiaoyue.

She understood her daughter’s intentions completely. Today, she had given up her pride for her daughter.

From now on, the three of them would rely on themselves and live well. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

Not long after, Li Gengtian brought his nephew, Li Huaiyu, along with pen, ink, and paper.

Then, the village chief asked Li Huaiyu to write the letter of asset division. He then asked Lin Dachui and Liu Shi to sign the papers.

Then, he asked Li Huaiyu to write the letter of disownment. He asked Lin Dachui, Lin Xiaoyue, and Lin Xiao to sign the papers. The village chief, as a witness, also signed the paper.

There were three copies of each document. Both parties kept one copy and the village chief took the remaining copy. He said that he would send it to the court for the record.

“Go and get 42 taels of silver, as well as the land title for this house and the four plots of land around it. Then everything is done.” The village chief looked at Lin Dachui.

At this point, it would be best for him to settle everything. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for the three women to get the money.

A look of struggle flashed across Lin Dachui’s face.

“It’s so late now. Why don’t we do it tomorrow?” Second Uncle Lin rolled his eyes and said.

“Yeah, we have to think of a way to get the money,” said First Uncle Lin.

Fourth Uncle Lin was also about to speak, but was stopped by a look from the village chief.

“Hmph, if you can’t pay them, then use the land title to pay for it. Do you think this is just for fun?” The village chief said in a deep voice.

In his opinion, Xiaoyue had already compromised a lot when it came to dividing the property. Not only did the Lin family members not appreciate that, they were even shameless enough to not pay them the full amount.

Lin Dachui’s body trembled.

How could he use the land title to pay?

“I…I’ll go back and get the money now,” he said and quickly left.

The sons of the Lin family saw that the village chief would not change his mind, and Lin Xiaoyue and Liu Shi did not even look at them, so they turned around and chased after their father.

The Lin family fled in a panic, causing the villagers to point and talk about them. Even the village chief shook his head repeatedly as he watched them leave.

Excluding the house and the two plots of land, the Lin family only gave away 42 taels of silver. Most of it was the money that Lin Laosan had worked so hard for. In other words, they had only paid 2 taels of silver…

Eh, with such a family, it was a good thing that they broke things off with them.

Once the Lin family left, many women surrounded them to comfort Liu Shi and Lin Xiaoyue.

After a while, Lin Xiaoyue was the first to respond.

“Dear all, thank you for your help and concern! It’s getting late, let’s continue dividing the meat! We’ve wasted everyone’s time!”

“Not at all! Let us know if you need anything in the future!” A lady said.

“That’s right! Let us know if you need anything!”

“…”

Hearing the villagers’ enthusiastic voices, Lin Xiaoyue smiled. Her heart was filled with gratitude.

Then, she continued cutting up the wild boar.

After that, no one asked for a discount anymore. They would even say a few words to comfort Lin Xiaoyue.

There were people who did not leave even after they bought the meat, waiting to see when the Lin family would send the money over. They wanted to be the witnesses.

They waited for more than two hours.

And at this time, no one was buying the meat anymore.

Seeing that Lin Dachui still did not show up, the village chief finally asked Lin Gengtian and Li Laishun to go get them.
