The men in the family were all in a hurry to eat the meat buns and go to support Shunzi later. Wang Daming was not there, so Wang Erming took the initiative to be the leader, "Fugui, I will go to the front with you later. Your father is old and can't talk as well as I do. Let him stay behind. I will stay later... and then you..."

The whole kitchen was filled with Wang Erming's voice. The others were not talkative and just listened while munching on their meat buns.

Shunzi now has the strength back. He is not really stupid. Everyone is running around for him, so he can't slack off again.

Zhou also prepared a set of cotton-padded clothes for him while he was recuperating. It was an old cotton-padded jacket that Wang Fugui had given away. The two were of similar height, so it only took a few modifications to make it fit.

He cleaned himself up and went to the kitchen without waiting for anyone to bring him food.

"Uncle, brothers, I will go there later too. If we want to make a decision, we must make it clear."

Everyone looked at Shunzi's serious expression and expressed their support.

"That's right, Shunzi. The home in Dahe Village is not worth staying in. You should settle down in Liushu Village from now on. We will help you here, so you won't starve to death."

The one who was speaking was Fugui, he was the oldest among this generation and usually had authority in what he said and did. Shunzi sat on a stool and listened carefully to the lecture.

"Let's end it today. It's just right for a fresh start after the New Year. Let's work hard next year. Having enough food and warm clothes is more important than anything else."

Wang Quangui spoke rarely. He was a down-to-earth man. He worked hard on the farm and did odd jobs during the slack season to save some money. It would be great if his family lived in harmony.

"Shunzi, I told you a long time ago not to hand over all the money you earn, but to keep some for yourself. Oh, you better be more careful in the future."

Wang Jingui, as Wang Erming's only son, is much more intelligent. Now when he looks at Shunzi, he is annoyed by his stubbornness.

Su He was also eating in her grandma's room, and they were also discussing what to do next.

"Mom, don't go later. I'll go. We'll be back in less than two hours. I'll let Yuzhen and Hehua stay and talk to you."

Sun did not object, but Su He was not willing to do so. She was very curious about Dahe Village, not just because she wanted to go and see the fun. The lotus in her dream was sold to the landlord's house in Dahe Village. She heard that her uncle's family was also working in Dahe Village these days, so she had to go and see Dahe Village.

"Grandma, aunt, I want to go with you. I have experience in this kind of thing. If there is something that the elders can't say, I can still speak up. After all, I don't have to worry about anything."

Su He tried her best to fight for herself, and Sun agreed after thinking about it. She knew her granddaughter's ability, and it would be good if she could help.

"Then go ahead, and remember to follow your aunt."

Hearing that their elder sister could go, the younger ones couldn't sit still anymore and all clamored to go. Unfortunately, Mrs. Sun didn't agree this time. The children were only a few years old, so they stayed at home and waited for the result.

By the time Su He came out, the men in the family had already set out. They all walked, so he had to leave first.

Su He and others went there in a horse carriage. Shunzi and Wang Daming were sitting outside the carriage, while Su He, Zhou and Jin were sitting inside.

The carriage moved quickly and arrived in just a quarter of an hour. After arriving, they first went to the home of the village chief of Dahe Village. The village chief's surname was Xu. He was older than Wang Daming and was both the village chief and the clan leader.

In order to avoid trouble, Su He and his companions did not get off the carriage. Su He took the opportunity to stand on the step of the carriage and look out. Dahe Village was indeed richer, but looking at the houses, there were many more brick and tile houses in Dahe Village.

There is a blue brick courtyard in the distance, which is probably the legendary landlord's house and the last place where Lotus stayed in her previous life.

Wang Daming walked in with Shunzi. Village Chief Xu had already finished talking with Village Chief Wang of Liushu Village. Also accompanying them was Doctor Li who was invited that day.

Wang Daming and Shunzi greeted the two with a smile, and secretly admired Su He for her thoughtfulness. Two village heads and one doctor, just right three gifts for three people.

"Uncle Xu, I'm sorry to trouble you. We really can't make ends meet anymore." Shunzi spoke to Village Chief Xu himself.

"Okay, I know everything. Your father did something unkind. It's getting late. Let's hurry up and go."

Su He was right. As the village chief and clan leader, Xu Ming knew everything about the village. Before, Shunzi was honest and had not established himself, so he was powerless. But now that Shunzi had taken the initiative to bring it up and accepted the gift, he would help.

Xu Yongcheng's home was not far from the village chief's home, and the group arrived quickly.

Xu Yongcheng and his family were sitting on the kang to rest. There were knocks on the door. Luo Xiaomei wondered who would come at this time?

"Is my brother back?"

Xu Fa hadn't seen his brother for more than ten days. He didn't have any ill will towards his brother, he just wasn't close to him.

Xu Yongcheng and Luo Xiaomei felt guilty after hearing what their youngest son said. They knew Shunzi was taken away by their nephew. Xu Yongcheng didn't want to care about it at all, and Luo Xiaomei certainly didn't want him to come back even more.

The faces of the people outside the house all looked unhappy, especially Village Chief Xu. There was clearly someone in the house knocking for a long time but the door didn't open. This Xu Yongcheng was really outrageous.

"Xu Yongcheng, open the door quickly!"

When the people in the room heard that it was the village chief, they had no choice but to open the door no matter how reluctant they were.

"Village Chief, what's wrong with you today... Shunzi? You, you're back."

When Xu Yongcheng saw his tall eldest son, he was a little afraid to look at Shunzi.

Luo Xiaomei, who was standing behind, seemed quite calm. "Shunzi is back. You've been at your grandparents' house for so many days. Your father and brother have been doing all the housework. They can relax a little when you come back. Village chief, look at Shunzi. He has been out for so many days and didn't even send a message back. We are all worried. Your father and I are old too. We are counting on you. Don't be so willful next time."

Shunzi habitually wanted to go in and work, but just as he lifted his left foot, he retracted it and said, "I didn't go out to play. I was recuperating at my uncle's house."

Village Chief Xu frowned, "Yongcheng, didn't you know Shunzi was injured? Or maybe his nephew happened to come and find out, otherwise Shunzi would be in great danger. You are such an incompetent father!"

When Xu Yongcheng saw the village chief standing up for his eldest son, he knew he had to give in. "Village chief, it's also my fault. Fa had a fever those few days, and I thought Shunzi was older, so I didn't take care of him for a while."

When Luo Xiaomei saw that things were not going well, she immediately started to cry, "Oh my God, please open your eyes. My eldest son is already 30 years old, and you want to take care of everything from eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. How can we take care of it? Others start to support their own parents at the age of 30, why can't it be done for us? It's really hard for me as a stepmother!"

Wang Daming looked up at Zhou and Jin, and they immediately stepped forward to fight, "Luo Xiaomei, you are crying! You also know that Shunzi is 30 years old. Let me ask you, which family's son is still single at the age of ! Don't tell me that there is no money in the family. Not to mention the wages Shunzi has earned from working outside for so many years, the land and dowry left by Qingmei are enough for Shunzi to marry a wife. Today, you Xu family give me a clear answer, who swallowed up the money for Shunzi's marriage!"

Luo Xiaomei rolled her eyes and started to cry poor, "Shunzi has a big appetite, and the wages he brings back are not enough to buy food. If you don't believe me, ask his father."

Xu Yongcheng quickly agreed, "Village Chief, our two sons are both capable of eating, and we only have three mu of land. What do you think will be left?"

Su He frowned. This wasn't going to work. They were still standing at the door and these people were trying to smooth things over.

It's time for this ignorant young girl to take action.

"Since grandpa can't afford to raise him, then don't raise him. Uncle Shunzi was dying and it was grandpa who paid for his life. The ancients said that a life-saving favor should be repaid with one's own life. From now on, Uncle Shunzi's life belongs to grandpa and grandma, and has nothing to do with you!"

While Su He was talking, he rushed to the front and pushed Luo Xiaomei away. "Two village heads, grandpa, and Doctor Li, it's so cold outside, please go inside and sit down. I'm sure my great-aunt thinks the same."

Wang Daming immediately pushed Xu Yongcheng aside and led the three of them into the inner room.

No matter what Xu Yongcheng thought in his heart, he was diligently following behind and saying some nice words.

Luo Xiaomei glared at Su He fiercely, "Who are you? Why do you come here to be my boss?"

Su He noticed that Grandpa and his group had already entered the house, so he turned around and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Be your master? Who do you think you are? You can actually be the master of the Xu family."

When Xu Fa in the room saw so many people coming in, he got off the kang in a panic.

"You two elder brothers, please take your seats. Doctor Li, you should also go up and warm yourself up."

Wang Daming greeted them familiarly and climbed up himself. Shunzi stood beside him without saying a word.

Su He and others also followed him into the house.

When Xu Yongcheng saw this situation, he started to panic and felt that it would be difficult to pass this hurdle today.
