It is not good to keep arguing about land in front of outsiders.

Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, the village chief happily went home carrying the hen. Chu Xiao was sandwiched between his mother-in-law who was holding his arm on the left and the tall future man on the right, and walked towards Yan's house.

Zhao Guizhi has always been a sensible person, and naturally knows what is good and what is bad. She has always felt sorry for Chu Xiaoxiao, who has been treated harshly by the Chu family since she was a child. Today, when she saw Chu Xiao's eloquence, which left Chu Laoer and Li Xiulan speechless, she thought that this child was really good.

She didn't think about anything else, she just believed that the child had suffered a great hardship, and now he had come to his senses and knew he had to stand up for himself.

She took Chu Xiao's arm and said with a smile: "Xiao Xiao, I didn't expect you to be so smart. You actually made Li Xiulan suffer a loss. You should know that she wants to take advantage of everything and can't bear any loss."

Chu Xiao smiled: "That's also because Brother Shen cooperated well."

"He is a tongue-tied person who didn't even know how to fart from beginning to end." Zhao Guizhi rolled her eyes at her son and said with a smile, "But after marrying you, I can rest assured. I can see that this kind of person will have good fortune in the future if he survives a disaster."

Chu Xiao smiled and said nothing. Instead, Yan Zhenshen took out the silver ingot that Chu Xiao had placed with him, and said, "Keep this."

Chu Xiao took a look, picked out a five-liang silver ingot, turned around and handed it to Zhao Guizhi: "Aunt, you can use this for household expenses, and I want to buy some things with the rest."

"Oh, this is unacceptable." Zhao Guizhi refused to take it. "This is your dowry. How can we take it? Put it away quickly."

Chu Xiao forcibly stuffed the silver ingot into Zhao Guizhi's hand and said, "Aunt, since I am going to marry Brother Shen, I will eat and drink at your house in the future. I can't have money in my hands and not spend it on my family."

"If you marry the eldest brother, you will be the daughter-in-law of our Yan family. It is only natural that we provide you with food and drink. If you let your daughter-in-law use her dowry to supplement the family expenses before you get married, it will not sound good if this news gets out." Zhao Guizhi still refused to accept.

"If you don't tell me, who will know?" Chu Xiao held Zhao Guizhi's hand. "I'm leaving the Chu family now, and I'll be homeless. I'm determined to live a good life with Brother Shen and treat my aunt and uncle as my own parents. Don't you think I'm a family member? You don't want the land or the money. It seems that I'm still an outsider."

Chu Xiao had no choice but to use his little white flower skills again, playing the victim, who doesn't know how to do that?

And to be honest, he had said before that he would support the family with Yan Zhenshen, which literally meant making money for them to spend and letting them eat and drink well. However, when he saw Zhao Guizhi today, he no longer thought so.

It's hard to have enough food and clothing these days. Who wouldn't take advantage of something if they see one? But Zhao Guizhi not only refused it, but also considered him in every way. He felt that this mother-in-law was very good. Anyway, he had no parents since he was a child, so he should respect her like his own mother.

Yan Zhenshen watched the two of them pushing each other back and forth, and said, "Mom, you keep it. I'll hunt more game in the future to make up for his dowry."

Zhao Guizhi glared at him unhappily: "This is against the rules."

Chu Xiao smiled and said when he saw the man speak, "Auntie, keep it. I sold a prescription to Doctor Hu of Tong Ren Tang a few days ago. There will be some income. Brother Shen and I will work hard together in the future, and our family will definitely get better and better."

Zhao Guizhi was a little surprised. "Xiaoxiao, you said you wanted to sell Doctor Hu a prescription? Where did you get the prescription?"

"That's it..." Chu Xiao had forgotten that his identity was just a young man from Anning Village. The farthest place he had been to in his life was probably the county town. He really shouldn't have any ancient recipes or the like.

His mind raced, and after a long while he managed to utter, "When I was collecting firewood in the mountains, I met an old man..."

"Mom, didn't a Taoist priest come to the village ten years ago? He was the one who asked me to change my name. This Taoist priest should be the one Chu Xiao met." Seeing that he couldn't come up with an excuse for a long time, Yan Zhenshen had no choice but to speak up to smooth things over.

Chu Xiao looked at the man who was talking nonsense with his eyes open and really wanted to give him a thumbs up. This man's brain was really quick and he could talk nonsense right out of his mouth. I admire him.

Zhao Guizhi was a little surprised: "Oh, Xiaoxiao, you also met that Taoist priest, that Taoist priest is really powerful, he said at that time that my family had a great disaster, which was inevitable, your uncle had an accident within two years, and he also said that the eldest son's name should be changed, saying that the east position should be vacated to welcome a noble person, saying that his fate was dominated by gold, and his fate was too hard, and he needed water and wood to neutralize it, so he changed it to 'Shen'."

Chu Xiao had no memory of this Taoist priest. Ten years ago, Chu Xiaoxiao was only six years old. It was impossible for her to go up the mountain to collect firewood by herself. If you think about it carefully, this lie is full of loopholes. But Zhao Guizhi was so excited when she talked about this Taoist priest that she didn't notice it at all.

Zhao Guizhi took Chu Xiao's hand and said, "Now that you mention it, your last name is Chu, and Chu contains wood, which really makes you suitable for the boss."

Chu Xiao liked to hear this statement, it was indeed very suitable. He quickly added: "Aunt, didn't I say before that I wanted to change my name to Chu Xiao? Xiao means unrestrained and free, and it also means water."

Zhao Guizhi was even happier now. "Okay, okay, let's go get it altered tomorrow, and buy you some clothes while we're at it. The Chu family is really something. They don't even buy you a piece of clothing. Let's buy you a few more tomorrow."

Looking at Chu Xiao, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, what a good child, but he was tortured by the Chu family like this, some people are just black-hearted.

The three of them talked as they walked, and in no time they had covered the four or five miles.

As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I saw Yan Zhengdao sitting under the eaves weaving a rattan basket. His legs were not in good condition and it was difficult for him to walk, but he didn't want to be a useless person, so he could only do what he could.

These rattan baskets are not worth much. A big one can be sold for three or four cents, and a small one for one or two cents. The vines need to be rubbed and weaved, and only one or two can be made in a day, but it is good to have some income.

As soon as the three of them entered the yard, Yan Zhengdao looked up with a smile, and when he saw Chu Xiao, he asked with some confusion: "Who is this?"

"Your son's husband." Zhao Guizhi pulled Chu Xiao to sit next to Yan Zhengdao, and instructed Yan Zhenshen to put the things into the kitchen and pour a few cups of water.

Chu Xiao looked at the man who worked silently without saying a word and wanted to laugh. It seemed that the status of this man from the Yan family was not very high.

During the past few days at the Chu family, he heard Chu Lao Er ordering Li Xiu Lan around, and he thought that women in this place had a very low status, but it seems that is not entirely true.

"Is this Chu Xiaoxiao?" Yan Zhengdao asked Zhao Guizhi uncertainly. He had hardly left home in the past eight years, so naturally he had never seen Chu Xiaoxiao.

"Hello, Uncle Yan." Chu Xiao greeted him politely, and Yan Zhengdao quickly responded with a smile, "Okay, okay, okay."
