"Okay." Hunter Yan saw him showing that cunning smile and thought he was quite cute, so he was naturally willing to cooperate with him.

Zhao Guizhi had no idea that the two had already secretly promised to be together for life, and she thought her son was really planning to marry into the family. She became anxious and wanted to speak up to stop them, but Yan Zhenshen grabbed her arm.

She then calmed down a little and didn't say anything.

"It's not like our Chu family doesn't have sons, so we don't need a little brother like you to carry on the family line." Chu Lao Er said without thinking, "You go with the Yan family today, and I don't want to see you again."

Chu Xiao said, "Okay, then give me my dowry, six acres of land, ten taels of silver, not a cent less."

The second eldest Chu was so angry. This was really a case of losing both the wife and the army. He originally thought that he could make some money after losing the land, but Chu Xiaoxiao wanted more, and Yan the hunter actually agreed to marry into the family.

"No, how can you marry a boy without giving a gift?"

Li Xiufen would never let the meat in her mouth fly away.

Chu Xiaoxiao glanced at Li Xiulan coldly and sneered, "Then don't get married. I think it's good to stay here. I have food and drink every day and don't have to work. It's just that the living conditions are a bit poor. However, Chu Wanwan's room is not bad. I'll live there in the future."

Chu Wanwan was indeed a bit stupid. She didn't realize that Chu Xiao was just trying to provoke her, so she yelled, "Why do you want to live in my room? Mom, get Chu Xiaoxiao out of here."

"Do you think I won't deal with you?" Chu Xiao glanced at Chu Wanwan, "You don't remember anything I said?"

Chu Wanwan thought of the bloody wound on her mother's face, and quickly stepped back, covering her pretty face with her hands, and stopped talking.

Li Xiulan was also a little timid, and gritted her teeth and said, "Then, five taels of silver, no less."

"Do you want five slaps?" Chu Xiao was speechless to Li Xiulan. "I'll give you this one chance. If you agree today, I'll marry you. If you don't agree, then we'll fight to the death."

Li Xiulan was speechless and looked at her man timidly.

It took Chu Lao Er a long time to utter: "Okay, just pretend that my Chu family never raised you, and you can go now."

"The village chief is here, so let's hand over my dowry today." Chu Xiao said, then looked at the village chief and asked, "Do we need to invite other witnesses?"

"No need. I'll give you the land deed and have the village issue a written certificate, which you can then take to the government to get stamped." The village chief has helped many people buy and sell land over the years, so he naturally knows the process.

"Then give it to me." Chu Xiao just looked at the Chu family, waiting for them to hand over the land deeds.

Li Xiulan glared at him hatefully, but still went into the house and took out the land deed. The six acres of land were all mountainous and quite far from the village, but he didn't mind. After taking it, he reached out for the silver.

Li Xiulan took out the money reluctantly, one dollar and five taels, two dollars and two taels, and the rest were copper coins, but it was obvious at a glance that they were not enough.

Chu Xiao was not one to suffer a loss, so he counted them one by one and said, "Seven hundred and thirty coins, and I still need two hundred and seventy coins."

"That's all we have at home." Li Xiulan said stubbornly, "I'll give you the rest in a few days."

Chu Xiao didn't believe that she would give it to him in a few days, so he said nothing and handed the money to Yan Zhenshen. Then he went to the woodshed and took out all his rabbit sons, and put them in Zhao Guizhi's arms: "Aunt, help me hold them first."

Zhao Guizhi was completely confused now. She took the rabbit subconsciously when it was stuffed into her arms, then looked at Yan Zhenshen with confusion in her eyes.

Yan Zhenshen nodded to his mother: "He has his own ideas, don't worry about it."

Zhao Guizhi watched Chu Xiao rush to the backyard, grab two hens, and walk over with one in each hand: "These two chickens are enough to pay for the money you owe me."

Li Xiulan was furious: "Each chicken costs 200 coins, how could you catch two?"

"I want to catch two." Chu Xiao said and told Yan Zhenshen to leave.

At this time, Chu Lao Er said, "Chu Xiaoxiao, from today on, you are no longer a member of the Chu family. No matter how you live in the future, don't set foot in the door of the Chu family again."

Chu Xiao turned around and smiled, "Okay, then from today on, I am no longer Chu Xiaoxiao. Remember, from now on, my name is Chu Xiao. I will change my household registration tomorrow. From now on, I will have nothing to do with you, Chu Lao Er."

The village chief wanted to tell Chu Xiaoxiao that his household registration was actually still with Chu Laoer's house, but since he was going to marry Yan Zhenshen, his household registration would naturally have to be moved out, so he didn't say much.

Chu Xiao was about to leave when he saw Zhao Guizhi still sitting there in a daze. He shouted, "Aunt, I have nothing to do with Chu Laoer anymore. We don't need any meeting gifts or betrothal gifts. Let's go."

Zhao Guizhi came back to her senses and responded with a smile, "Okay, let's go."

Zhao Guizhi stood up, put the little rabbit in her arms into the backpack, handed the backpack to Yan Zhenshen, walked directly to Chu Xiao, and took his arm: "Daughter-in-law, go home."

Li Xiulan was so angry. If she had known earlier, she would not have asked for such a high bride price. Now, she got nothing.

She sat down on the ground angrily: "Why is my life so miserable? I have raised a child for more than ten years, but I only raised such an ungrateful person."

But no one paid any attention to her shouting, and several people walked out without looking back.

After leaving the Chu family's gate, Chu Xiao handed a chicken in his hand to the village chief: "Sorry to bother you today, village chief. Tomorrow I want to transfer the land deed to Brother Shen. Do you think you are free to go with me?"

"I'm free." The village chief happily took the hen. He thought it was good enough to make cakes today, but he actually got a chicken. He was very happy, but still asked, "Are you sure you want to write Yan Zhenshen in the title deed?"

"Yes." Chu Xiao didn't care about these things, and since he was going to live with Yan Zhenshen in the future, he had to show some appreciation when he entered the Yan family.

"This won't work, Xiaoxiao, this really won't work." Zhao Guizhi pulled Chu Xiao's hand harder, "Your land is definitely yours."

"But I want to give it to Brother Shen." Chu Xiao looked at Yan Zhenshen.

Yan Zhenshen shook his head, "Chu Xiao, this is inappropriate. The law stipulates that the dowry belongs to the woman or the man. Even if they divorce or are divorced in the future, the man cannot occupy the dowry and must return it all. If you transfer it to my name now, what if something happens..."

"Have you ever thought about divorcing me?" Chu Xiao looked incredulous.

"That's not what I meant." Yan Zhenshen quickly explained: "I will definitely not divorce you, but if something happens to me one day, these lands can also provide you with a guarantee."

He is a hunter, dealing with wild beasts in the mountains all day long. It is a job that really puts your head on the line. You never know when you might end up in the stomach of a wild beast. He doesn't want Chu Xiao to marry him and end up losing both her money and her life.

"No need." Chu Xiao said very seriously: "As long as I, Chu Xiao, am here, nothing will happen to you."

After saying this, Chu Xiao felt that these words were really domineering. If someone said this to him, he would definitely be so moved that he would want to punch the other person. How could someone be so pretentious?

But what Chu Xiao said was not a lie. As long as the person didn't die immediately and was left with a breath, he would be able to save his life. What's more, he planned to stay with Yan Zhenshen forever, so how could he let him fall into danger alone?
