Huang Pingguo longs for family affection. As a neglected child in the past, he hopes to receive attention from his family.

These days, the concern and care from his family, and the satisfaction in his parents' eyes, have made him lose himself.

However, he listened to Zhuang Datou more. From childhood to adulthood, he had spent more time with Zhuang Datou than with his family.

He knew better than anyone that although he and Zhuang Datou weren't blood brothers, their bond was stronger than that of blood brothers.

Others might harm him, but Zhuang Datou won't.

He will repay his parents for raising him, and he has already given them a lot before. He only needs to do his part in the future.

Having figured all this out, she became more determined. "Mother, please stop talking. My mind is made up. I've already given you thirty taels of silver, which is more than half of all my savings. I still have twenty taels of silver left, and I'll give it all to you. With this silver, plus the money from selling our house and land, I can help you settle down in the next village."

"You heartless bastard! You clearly have houses and land here, so why did you send us to the next village?" Lü Cuihua continued to make a scene, dissatisfied with the outcome. If they moved to the next village, how could they possibly take advantage of them?
Moreover, no neighboring village is as good as Tian Village. They've been here for so long, and the village is filled with the aroma of meat every day, something they never dared to dream of before.

Moreover, since they arrived, Chunxiang has had money, and her daily meals are well-balanced. She can eat a meat dish every day. Where else can you find such a life?

“There’s no place at all in this Tian Village,” Huang Pingguo turned to look at the people surrounding her, finally fixing her gaze on the village chief. “The village chief is here too. If he says there’s land in the village, you can stay here.”

Zhu Ziqiang said with a smile, "Our village really has no land left. We've cleared all the land that can be cultivated."

Just kidding. Even if the village has land, they'll find a way to leave it for their descendants. Now that the village is developing better and better, these outsiders who want a piece of the pie shouldn't even think about it.

Moreover, both families are relatives of Manager Zhuang and his associates. With them around, the village won't be assigned any tasks in the future. He doesn't even need to calculate the outcome; everyone knows what will happen.

The villagers understood this meaning and quickly echoed, "Where is there any land left? We've reclaimed every nook and cranny."

"And we don't sell our land, but it's different in the next village; they still have a lot of wasteland there, and the prices are cheaper..."

Others also stated that the land they had previously designated would not be transferred, let alone the farmland.

Huang Pingguo knew that there was still some wasteland in the village, but it would take another year before the harvest could be harvested after the wasteland was reclaimed, which meant there were many variables.

Now that you have a plan in mind, it's best to figure it out as soon as possible.

The workers from the neighboring village who came down from the mountain didn't know what to say at that moment.

Indeed, their village is somewhat remote, and there is still some wasteland; they cannot lie about it.

But he was troubled. If these two troublesome families moved in, would they ever have any peace?
Just as someone was about to muster the courage to say that their village also had no land, someone next to them pulled him back, saying, "Don't say that, you'll offend people."

"But these people came to our village..."

"So what if these people come to our village? With so many households in our village, surely we can keep them under control."

Don't be fooled by the fact that they are Manager Zhuang's family members; they are still under the protection of Master Gu.

Since it wasn't them anyway, the government will probably send someone else anyway, so it's better not to strain relations.

The man listened to the advice and thought it made some sense. Anyway, there was so much mountainous land, and even if their village worked hard, they wouldn't be able to cultivate that much, since they would have to pay taxes after clearing the land. It was better to come out and do odd jobs; the income would be more tangible.

Speaking up now would undoubtedly offend people, and if they don't contact him again in the future, he would lose even more.

Once the relationship between them was understood, no one spoke up.

Listening to the villagers offering their advice all at once, the Zhuang and Huang families couldn't get a word in edgewise.

It's as if, while they were talking, someone else had already made the decision for them.

Looking at Zhuang Datou and Huang Pingguo standing together, they seemed to form their own battlefront, standing far away from them.

Both families knew in their hearts that their previous argument was completely untenable.

At this moment, Lü Cuihua turned her gaze to Gu Kaiyuan and Bai Suihe, who were being protected by a group of people.

Suddenly, he rushed straight at Bai Suihe, but was kicked away by Lin Hua, who was already prepared.

"Insolence!" Lin Hua had already drawn his sword, the tip pointing directly at Lü Cuihua. "You actually want to harm Madam and Miss? Don't you value your life?"

Lu Cuihua laughed until her face turned pale. As a village woman, she had never encountered such a situation before.

She just felt that as long as Bai Suihe spoke, not only Chunxiang, but even Huang Pingguo and the others would have to obey.

“Madam, you are an honored guest, we had no intention of offending you,” Huang Qinlao quickly stepped in front of us and said sincerely, “This woman is not good at manners, please forgive me if I have offended you.”

He's anxious, after all, raising a son isn't easy, and now that he's finally successful, he ignores us. Madam, you must be careful when employing such an unfaithful and unfilial man.

To save his wife, Huang Qinlao couldn't care less about Huang Pingguo at this moment. His wife was his pillar of support; without her, the family couldn't survive.

Bai Suihe looked at Huang Pingguo with sympathy, "It seems that your parents don't have much love for you either."

When it comes to making a choice, you're still the first one to be abandoned.

Bai Suihe's words were clearly a provocation, and even if Huang Pingguo knew it, he couldn't care less, since his wife had said it was all true, and he had genuinely been heartbroken just now.

But he still stepped forward and said respectfully, “My mother offended you, Madam. As her son, I am willing to take the punishment for her. Master and Madam, all the fault lies with me. I am willing to resign from my position as manager and will just stay and tend to the few acres of land at home to make a living.”

The Huang family was stunned by these words. If he didn't take over the job, what would they do?
“It’s all a misunderstanding,” Lu Cuihua quickly stepped forward and knelt down. “Madam, it was my fault for losing my composure. I wanted to ask you to put in a good word for me, but I didn’t expect it to cause this young man to misunderstand. I had no intention of hurting you.”

These are all my faults. I'll accept any punishment, please spare my family's yellow apple.

Bai Suihe said, "This was originally your family matter, and you could have resolved it privately. But look at the mess you've made."
Now that everyone has become a laughing stock, Huang Pingguo probably can't continue in charge for the time being. She should go home and sober up for a while.

After Bai Suihe finished speaking, she looked at Gu Kaiyuan, "Husband, what do you think?" (End of this chapter)
