Only this green, not disappointing the spring

The next morning, Li got up at daybreak. She was so excited that she didn't sleep well last night.

Zhou Jun, who was sleeping nearby, had no choice but to get up.

He fully understood his wife's anxiety to make money. Since he couldn't help her for the time being, he would just support her silently.

Zhao had long guessed that her daughter could not help herself, so she did not disturb her and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Although Zhou Xiaoxi and her sister had not yet gotten up, they were both awake. The two sisters were lying on the bed chatting.

"Sister, do you want to learn to read? I spend an hour every afternoon at Doctor Zhang's place to learn to read and practice calligraphy."

Zhou Xiaoxi was not surprised. As a doctor, being able to read and write was the most basic requirement.

It’s just that what they read were not the Four Books and Five Classics but medical books.

She is now in a situation where she can read but cannot let others know. It would be great if she could have the opportunity to learn to read openly.

"I really want to, but how can I learn? Will you be my teacher?"

Zhou Xiaonan was a little embarrassed. She did think so, but she certainly didn't dare to take on the role of 'Sir'!

"Well, I brought back some large characters from the clinic. I can teach them to my sister today. We can learn new ones next time I come back. Although this is a little slow, it's the only way I can think of."

A warm feeling flowed through Zhou Xiaoxi's heart. She thought her sister was really caring.

"Of course, I can't wait to listen to Mr. Xiaonan's lecture. But we have to go to the head of the village to solve the problem of settling down first, so hurry up and get up and wash up."

After the family had packed up, Li took Zhou Jun and his family to the village head's house.

Li originally planned to let Zhou Jun stay at home, after all, he had difficulty moving.

As a result, Zhao glared at her, and she realized that she might have been confused again. Although she did not understand what her mother meant, she knew that her mother must have her own reasons.

The villagers walked towards the fields one after another and inevitably ran into this family.

If someone with a curious mind asked about it, Zhao would not hide it.

When many people heard that Zhao was going to take her daughter and her family to find the village head to settle down, whether they were resentful or just out for the sake of doing good, a large group of people followed.

The old village chief is over 60 years old. Five years ago, he handed over all the village affairs to his eldest son Li Shoucai, and officially passed the position of village chief to him this year.

It is said that there are three things a new official needs to do when taking office.

Li Shoucai officially became the head of Dali Village this year. He was determined to do something practical for Dali Village and gain recognition from his father and the whole village.

This year is when his sense of justice is overflowing.

I have to say that Zhou Xiaoxi's family is quite lucky.

Li Shoucai, who originally planned to go to work in the fields, was shocked when he saw a large group of people walking towards their house as soon as he went out.

I quickly went over in my mind what I had done this year. I didn’t offend anyone, right?

It was just that last month the old scoundrel who molested the women in the village was severely punished, that's all.

Since you have a clear conscience about what you do, you won't be afraid of anyone catching you.

Li Shoucai let down his rolled-up trouser legs, straightened his back and waited for everyone to come closer.

Zhao saw the head of the village from a distance and tightened her grip on Zhou Xiaonan's hand. When she got close to him, she got straight to the point and told him what happened.

While Li Shoucai was still digesting what Zhao said, some villagers couldn't wait any longer.

Villager A:

"Mrs. Li, you are going too far. Are you trying to make your disabled son-in-law a live-in son-in-law of your Li family?"

Village Woman B:

"It's really unheard of. I've never heard of anyone bringing their family to be a live-in son-in-law. What were you doing before?"

Villager C:

"Could they have done something bad and been driven out of Huaihua Village?"

Everyone:

"Yes, if that's the case, we can't stay in Dali Village! Village Chief, you have to figure it out and don't let the wolf in!"

Listening to everyone's chattering, the noise was annoying. Li Shoucai opened his throat and shouted:

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Then he looked carefully at Zhou Jun's family - some were disabled, some were small. If they drove people out of Dali Village without any reason, how petty would they be?

"Sister Li, you've seen that many people in the village have objections to your daughter's family settling down. As the village head, it's not easy for me to make a decision lightly."

Zhao still has a good impression of the new head of the village, who has been working diligently for the village over the years.

She believed that the head of the village would not be unable to distinguish right from wrong and would not compromise just because the villagers clamored for it.

Zhao took out two pieces of paper from her sleeve and handed them to Li Shoucai, then raised her voice and explained:

"Chief, please take a look at the contents of these two pieces of paper. One of them is a document signed by Chief Dong from Huaihua Village. It clearly describes the circumstances of my daughter and her family leaving Huaihua Village."

Li Shoucai immediately found a document and read it to everyone:

"Zhou Jun, the third son of the Zhou family, will voluntarily move his household registration out of Huaihua Village from today onwards, and will give his house and all the land to his father Zhou Dazhu as a sign of filial piety. From now on, Zhou Jun will leave the Zhou family and have nothing to do with marriage or funerals."

Having nothing to do with weddings and funerals, doesn’t this mean severing ties?

Many people began to wonder what the Zhou family had done to force Zhou Jun to abandon his family and career and leave?

However, Zhao did not intend to explain the matter so clearly. Since it was already in the past, there was no need to talk about it behind people's backs.

There are so many people and so many different opinions, and who knows how the news will be distorted as it is passed around.

Li Shoucai continued to look through the contents on the second piece of paper, which was the document allowing Huaihua Village to allow the Zhou family to move their household registration.

Actually, there is nothing to object to after seeing this, but we still need to calm down public opinion.

In the past few days, Li Shoucai has also heard his wife talk about Zhou Jun's family. It seems that they have a bad reputation in the village.

He was a little puzzled. This family had just moved into the village a few days ago and rarely went out, so how could they have a bad reputation?

This was probably because of a conflict within their family, and it was not difficult to guess who it was.

This is someone else's family affair, Li Shoucai will not meddle in it.

As for whether the villagers of Dali Village can accept this family, it depends on themselves.

"Everyone has heard that Zhou Jun's family voluntarily moved out of Huaihua Village. It's clearly written on the document."

"So, I hope that our Dali Village will not do the kind of things that only unruly people would do, and spread rumors everywhere! If I find out, don't blame me for exposing your past in front of the whole village!"

Zhao asked again:

"Village head, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, I wonder if my daughter and her family can settle down in our Dali Village?"

Many people in the crowd objected before the head of the village even opened his mouth.

"We still don't agree. They are a family of parasites. Coming to our Dali Village will only corrupt the morals of our village."

"Head, you must not agree to this. If this bad precedent is set, won't the married girls in the village move back to their parents' home if they are not happy? If this happens, who would dare to marry a girl from our Dali Village?"

The latter person's words resonated with everyone.

Even Li Shoucai found it reasonable.
