Chapter 129 Zhao Xiaoya Asks for Help 129
But it is not something that Zhang Cheng can deny and shirk responsibility for just because he wants to.

Even if Patriarch Zhang wanted to help Old Man Zhang, he knew he was in the wrong. In addition, with Scholar Li watching him, he did not dare to make any big moves.

Finally, after discussion between the two clan leaders and with Li Xiucai as a witness, Old Man Zhang took out twenty taels of silver as compensation to Li Dashi, and stipulated that from then on, their family would not be allowed to go to Li Dashi for various reasons or excuses, otherwise they would return the acres of fertile land to the Li family.

Old Man Zhang was reluctant to let her go and kept saying that he had no money at home.

"Then sell those two houses," said Chief Li, who was really shameless. "You have cheated Dashi of all these years. I don't know how much you have earned. I only asked for twenty taels from you, and you are still bargaining here. Then pay me back according to the price."

"We'll give it to you," Zhang Cheng said through gritting her teeth, but she was thinking in her heart that once this matter was settled, Li Dashi would have to return the silver obediently.

Li Yunshan cleared his throat, and the young man behind him took out a pen and paper, supported his knees with his hands, and squatted in front of Li Yunshan.

"Please write it down in black and white this time. The prey that Dashi sent over before should be worth more than fifty taels. I only want twenty taels from you. The rest will be used as your funeral and retirement money in the future."

After Li Yunshan finished speaking, he dipped the brush in the ink prepared by his nephews and grandchildren and began writing quickly.

Mrs. Cheng's face darkened. "Li Dashi doesn't support me, his own mother. I'm going to sue him for being unfilial."

"Then hurry up and sue," Chief Li agreed. "When you wanted to remarry, no one in my Li family agreed, and we didn't write you a document. So after you die, you will still be buried in the Li family tomb. What you did with Old Man Zhang is also considered unmarried adultery. Not only will you have to pay back my Li family's assets, but you will also be thrown into a pig cage."

Who wouldn’t feel disgusted?
Sure enough, Zhang Cheng was shocked. How could she have forgotten about this?

This is really hard to explain. She married into the Li family, and when they opened the ancestral hall the following year, her name was added.

She was in a hurry to remarry the old man at that time and didn't think about this.

Turning to look at Old Man Zhang, he asked, "Am I included in the Zhang family tree?"

Old Man Zhang, “…I forgot.”

"You are such a heartless person, how could you forget this..." Mrs. Cheng slapped Old Man Zhang hard, "How can I survive in the future after this?"

……

While they were arguing, Li Yunshan had already written several copies of the contract and read them out in public.

It was a long speech, but everyone understood it. The widow compensated Li Dashi with twenty taels of silver, and the two families had no further contact with each other from then on, and there was no so-called mother-son relationship.

After giving the twenty taels of silver, Zhang Cheng would not have to be buried in the Li family tomb after her death. The funeral would be handled by Zhang Datou and others, and there was no need to notify Li Dashi.

The people of Lijia Village said, “…” That’s great. This woman doesn’t have to be buried in their ancestral tomb. Otherwise, it would be so uncomfortable to think of such a person enjoying the incense and worship from their future generations.

People from Zhangjia Village: “…” The man hasn’t died yet, and they’ve already figured out all the funeral arrangements. This is the first of its kind. Now that Li Dashi is no longer there to support the family, there will be something interesting to watch.

Old Man Zhang didn't want to sign, but Mrs. Zhang was like a possessed person. She only wanted to be buried in the Zhang family's ancestral tomb and didn't want to go back to the Li family after she died.

She was illiterate, so after the patriarch signed, she used her thumb to tap the red ink and press her own fingerprint.

Not only that, she also took the initiative to hold the hands of Old Man Zhang and Big Head Zhang, so that the matter could be put to an end. She wanted to die in Zhangjia Village and be buried with Old Man Zhang.

After the matter was dealt with and Lijiacun left, Patriarch Zhang asked everyone to hold a meeting at the ancestral hall.

They talked behind closed doors, and no one knew what they said. When they came out again, Zhang Cheng was crying, and the Zhang family father and son stayed away from her. ☆

As Yuntutu's car reached the middle of the mountain, he found that Zhao Xiaoya's house seemed particularly lively, with people standing outside the yard.

When they saw Yun Tutu and the others coming, these people were so scared that they huddled together.

They had never seen a carriage running without a horse, and they were worried and scared.

Yun Tutu parked the car and saw Zhao Xiaoya and a middle-aged man hurried over. "Don't be nervous, this is Sister Yun. She is a good person."

Yuntutu was given the nice guy card as soon as he arrived, and he was also happy in his heart, "What are you doing? It's quite lively."

These people were obviously dressed much better than Zhao Xiaoya and the others, especially the young man in a long gown who was particularly eye-catching standing in the middle.

Yun Tutu closed the car door and stood in the yard with Liu Lanying.

"This is my husband, and these people are his clansmen. They came to visit us and helped us solve a big problem."

Yun Tutu understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. He didn't expect that Zhao Xiaoya was such a smart person. The power of this clan was no joke in ancient times.

"That's good. You should spend more time with the elders at home. They can teach you a lot."

Yuntutu looked at Li Dashi and wondered how he could be a hunter with such a skinny body. Shouldn't a hunter be tall and strong?
But how come he looks like he's in his 40s? Is this an old cow eating young grass?
Little do people know that the ancients didn’t care about their appearance at all, and due to the hard work, they looked much older.

Li Dashi looked at Yun Tutu and the others with gratitude, and suddenly he knelt on the ground with his head bowed.

Yun Tutu was experienced and jumped aside as soon as he discovered the situation, leaving Liu Lanying there at a loss.

Yun Tutu covered his chest, and almost shortened his life by another day...

When he was about to carve the second time, Liu Lanying was so scared that she squatted down quickly, "Sir, please get up quickly..."

Li Dashi kowtowed three times before he stood up in gratitude. "You saved my wife and children. From now on, you will be my benefactors. If you two benefactors need me in the future, please let me know."

Yun Tutu walked to Zhao Xiaoya's side and asked, "Is your husband really a hunter?"

"Well, my husband is good at setting traps and we always get something in return," Zhao Xiaoya felt a little distressed when she thought about how all the previous gains were looted by her mother-in-law.

However, with the help of some tribesmen, such things will never happen again.

Yun Tutu thought to himself, it doesn’t look like that, he looks like a middle-aged man, can he really walk in the mountains?
"Now that the problems here are solved, we feel much more relieved," Yun Tutu made this extra trip because she was really worried. Now that the problems here were solved, she had to find a place to trade the medicinal herbs in her hands before she could leave.

"Sister Yun, are you leaving?" Zhao Xiaoya grabbed Yun Tutu's sleeve, her tone full of reluctance.

"Yes, we are going home too. You should drink the medicine Aunt Liu prescribed for you every day. Try not to get angry or overwork yourself," Yun Tutu wanted to reach out and touch the little girl's head, but then he remembered that she was already a mother, so he withdrew his hand awkwardly.

"If there is a chance in the future, you can find me again."

Zhao Xiaoya, "Like before..."
