Old Lady Tang avoided looking at me. "Why are you all looking at me? Aren't we discussing the settlement?"

Someone couldn't stand it and shouted, "We've been talking about settling down here for so long, but you, the Tang family, haven't paid any money. Or do you not want to be with us old neighbors?"

These words made the other members of the Tang family blush silently.

Why are you talking about them? All the money is in the hands of my mother-in-law, so why should they have a say?

Old Lady Tang glared angrily, "When did I ever say that? Don't talk nonsense here!"

Everyone knows that the villagers bully the newcomers, let alone these refugees! How can they survive if they don’t share the same space with everyone else?

It’s just that you don’t want to spend that little bit of money!

"Then you should pay the money! Don't just take advantage without doing any work!"

"That's right! Everyone has paid money. Whoever doesn't pay wants to get a share from Daohua Village."

Old Mrs. Tang had no choice but to reluctantly take out three taels of silver and hand it to Village Chief Fang. "Look, everyone, don't be blind. This is silver! Who said that my Tang family doesn't give silver!"

Together with the silver from the Tang family, it was only eleven taels. Village Chief Fang held the silver in his hands, hoping that everyone would not split it.

As for the ten taels of silver that Tang Qiyue gave to Fang Qingqing, Village Chief Fang did not intend to tell anyone about it. He would take it out separately when he went to the yamen tomorrow.

He was worried that it would cause trouble for Tang Qiyue.

Tang Qiyue didn't know that Village Chief Fang was thinking about her. When she gave out the ten taels of silver, it was because she remembered how Fang Qingqing had taken care of her in the past, and that life was difficult now, so she just wanted to give them a hand.

On the way back to the village, the three of them were silent, with only the sound of dripping water, hail, and footsteps on the mud in their ears.

After entering the main hall, Lin saw that the person beside her was not in a good mood before she even opened her mouth. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong? What happened in town? Why do you and your daughter both look so sad?"

Tang Qiyue paused when she was told she looked sad, and took out the various things she had bought from her backpack, "Mom, you must have seen it wrong, I don't look sad at all."

She is in a good mood!

Lin looked unconvinced and looked at the silent Xie Changjin and asked, "Ah Jin, tell me if anything happened when you went to the town today. I believe what you say."

Xie Changjin did not receive Tang Qiyue's hint, so he could only put his fist to his lips and cough lightly, "Aunt, you should ask Uncle Tang about this." This was their family affair, and he should not interfere too much.

Seeing her mother's curious look and her father's hesitant look on the surface, Tang Qiyue simply told her about her encounter with Village Chief Fang and his two grandchildren in the town.

"What? You ran into the village chief's family?" Lin was surprised. "Did you see your grandmother?"

Lin subconsciously thought that Tang San looked unwell because he might have been scolded by Old Lady Tang, and she was very worried.

Tang Qiyue shook her head. "No, I heard from the village chief that the people in the village are now staying in a dilapidated temple and are preparing to settle down in Linjiang Town."

After a while, Tang San slowly spoke, "Hehua, don't worry, we won't run into mother and the others."

Lin San glared at him. What a treasonous statement!

Although their family was driven out, she is the mother-in-law after all, how can they be unfilial!

Tang Qiyue knew at a glance that her mother had fallen into the whirlpool of filial piety again, and she did not say anything to interrupt. Anyway, she was at home, and if Mrs. Tang behaved herself, she would turn a blind eye. If...

Humph! Then don't blame her for being rude!

Lin said hesitantly, "My daughter, I feel uncomfortable no matter how I think about it. We all know that the Tang family has arrived in Linjiang Town. It won't be long before we run into them. Do you think we should go find them first?"

Perhaps it was because of the good times she had been living recently that she had lost her mind, and Lin had completely forgotten how her silly daughter was bullied by the Tang family and how her family was separated during the escape.

When Tang San heard this, his eyes lit up, but he didn't respond.

Seeing the reactions of his parents, Tang Qiyue spoke slowly, "Dad and Mom! I know you want to be filial, and I have no say on how you treat grandma. But, what about the people from the first and second houses? What are you going to do?"

"We have built a new house, so it's fine to bring grandma over to live here, but if we also want to ask my uncle and second uncle to come over, I don't think it's okay."

Let’s not talk about the lazy eldest aunt for now, let’s just talk about the second aunt who is not good enough but always has smart words. Tang Qiuyue knew that she was not easy to deal with.

What's more, there is Tang Yueling, who is overconfident and incompetent, and Tang Yaozu, who is the sweetheart of old lady Tang.

The second son of the Tang family, Tang Laoer, had two daughters, Tang Taohua and Tang Lanhua, and a younger son, Tang Jiabao. However, in the eyes of Old Lady Tang, no one could compare to the importance of Tang Yaozu in her heart.

If Old Mrs. Tang was brought back home to live, then Tang Yaozu would have to be brought along, and Tang Qiyue was very unhappy about this.

Lin recovered and figured out the twists and turns here. She slapped her forehead and said, "Oh! Look at my brain. I still don't want to take your grandmother to our house. After all, we have separated!"

"When they settle down in the future, we will go to find them and send them some food and meat during festivals."

When Tang Qiyue saw that her mother had figured it out, she immediately smiled.

Tang Lao San, who was standing by, was still a little concerned, "But..."

"But what buts! Don't forget, Tang Lao San, how your daughter was bullied by those brats. Now that she has recovered, you have finally brought them back home. Do you want your daughter to be bullied again?"

Tang San was stunned by the yelling, then he shook his head desperately, "No, no! I'll listen to you, don't care about them!"

When it comes to anything involving Tang Qiyue, Tang Lao San is smarter than anyone else.

Tang Qiyue was very satisfied and simply changed the subject, "Dad, you've made Mom unhappy, why don't you give Mom the things you bought in town today!"

"What did you buy for me? Mother doesn't want it. Mother doesn't need any good things." When Lin heard this, she quickly refused.

Tang San blushed, and with Tang Shan's encouragement, he carefully took out a long wooden box from his chest and placed it in the palm of Lin's hand who refused, scratching his head and said, "Hehua, look, this is what I bought for you, it looks nice."

Lin's face also blushed, but she finally opened the wooden box without any hesitation. She saw two exquisite silver hairpins inside and her eyes widened. "How..."

"Tang Lao San, why did you buy two more!"

"Lotus, both are beautiful and suitable for you. If I had the money, I would definitely buy them for you."

"Ouch, Lotus, be gentle!"

While her mother was feeling embarrassed and angry and pulling her father's ear to teach him a lesson, Tang Qiyue winked at Xie Changjin.

The two of them quietly left the main room.
