Chapter 393: Paying Special Attention to This House

 Chapter 392: Da Niu's Complicated Thoughts

 Chapter 391: Completely Cut Off

Yuan Shanchuan and Lu Sixing didn't have much money in their hands. When they separated from their families, aside from giving them this house, Yuan's parents only gave them eight hundred wen and a few acres of land. They didn't receive anything else.

Fortunately, Yuan Shanchuan had secretly saved up some money in previous years, and with the hard work and efforts of the couple during this period, they managed to gather a total of around three taels of silver.

Three taels were far from twelve taels.

Out of these three taels, they still needed to keep one tael of silver for themselves. Otherwise, once they returned the house they were currently living in to the Yuan family, they would have nowhere to live.

Moreover, Yuan Shanchuan was still injured, and the doctor had advised him to take good care of himself. Not to mention having a good meal, they couldn't let him go hungry.

One tael of silver should be enough to sustain them through this period. As long as they made it through this time, they would be able to earn money and repay their debts.

But they were still ten taels short, which was a large amount for the couple.

Although Lu Dasong was by their side, the money in the house was mostly managed by Li Shi. It would be difficult to borrow one tael, let alone ten taels.

Lu Sixing knew that her elder brother's family was doing well now, but she felt that it would be difficult for them to come up with ten taels of silver. After all, their shop had just opened.

So, asking Shu Yu for this favor was incredibly challenging for her.

However, Shu Yu quickly brought out ten taels of silver and handed it over directly. "Is this enough? If it's not enough, I have more."

Lu Sixing was stunned. She raised her head, looked at Shu Yu, and then glanced at the silver notes in her hand. For a while, she couldn't speak.

After a while, she nodded repeatedly. "Enough, enough, it's enough. Ah Yu, rest assured, once Sigu has money, we will definitely return it to you first."

Shu Yu smiled and said, "Fourth Aunt, you will have money soon. Don't worry."

Lu Sixing didn't understand. What did she mean? How did she know?

Shu Yu naturally knew because the reward from Lord Xiang hadn't arrived yet. No matter what the reward was, the life of Fourth Aunt's family would soon improve. By then, these ten taels of silver would be quickly returned.

"Fourth Aunt, go inside quickly."

Lu Sixing snapped back to reality and quickly nodded. "I'll go in now. You rest here for a while."

After saying that, she rushed into the courtyard.

A total of twelve taels of silver and the courtyard they were currently living in. Yuan Shanchuan handed them all over to his parents in the presence of Village Chief Chen and the elders of the village. He signed the documents of severance and assurance with his parents, with their handprints on them.

Looking at the handprints on the documents, Yuan Shanchuan laughed at himself.

He took a deep breath and looked at his parents and three older brothers, solemnly saying, "From now on, I, Yuan Shanchuan, am a person without parents or brothers. From now on, we sever all ties, and we shall never have any dealings with each other until death."

Then he looked at Village Chief Chen and said, "Please bear witness."

Village Chief Chen sighed, patted Yuan Shanchuan's shoulder, and said, "You are a good person, we all know that. It's their confusion."

He didn't have a good expression towards Yuan's parents either. He turned his head and glared at them, saying, "I've told you in advance, if you sever ties, sever them completely. Don't wait until Shanchuan's life gets better, until he becomes successful, and you encounter difficulties, then you think of reconciling and treat this document of severance as nothing. I won't agree to it at that time."

In his opinion, Shanchuan's future life would undoubtedly be better than that of the Yuan family.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at Lu Shi's niece, a person who had a good relationship with the county magistrate, wouldn't they benefit from it?
