After sending the outsiders away, Zhang Xuanniang quickly gathered the family together and told them everything that had happened. After listening, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"…Did Second Aunt really lift Third Old Master out? That's impossible, right?"

Lin Yousheng doubted his ears a little. That was the only old man still alive in their clan, the clan leader's biological father! An elder that all the children and grandchildren of the clan had to respect.

How could such a difficult old man be sent away so easily by my second aunt?

"I looked at the clan leader just now, and he didn't seem unhappy at all?"

Lin Youwen looked at the second aunt who was sitting next to his cousin with a stern face. He did not doubt the truth of this matter. After all, ignorance is fearless. According to Chu Chi's personality, she could do it.

What puzzled him now was the attitude of the patriarch.

"Why not? Can I still lie to you about this? If you don't believe me, ask Second Aunt yourself, did she hit Third Old Master on the head this morning?"

Zhang Xuanniang didn't have a good tone. Chu Chi, who was questioned, didn't react at all. But Lin Youan, who was sitting next to her, grabbed his mother's sleeve.

"Mom, did you really offend the Third Old Master this morning? You didn't mean to do that, did you? Is there any misunderstanding here? Tell your son about it."

Well, this is really a filial son, he just shirks responsibility as soon as he opens his mouth. Lin Yuanshan twitched his mouth and exchanged a glance with his old wife. Chu Chi thought for a long time before organizing his words.

"He wanted to steal the food, asked me to leave, and wanted to sell us out."

This accusation of confusing right and wrong came out of her mouth. Zhang Xuanniang, who was watching the whole process, couldn't figure out her thoughts, but Lin Youan understood it instantly.

"He chased you away?"

The kid's face became serious, and Chu Chi nodded vigorously.

"Ok!"

Afraid that the other party would not understand her helplessness at the time, she emphasized a few more sentences.

"He also said that he would take me to the government, punish me according to the family law, and divorce me. Right, niece-in-law?"

Although he didn't understand what this meant, Chu Chi now had a smart brain and could perfectly repeat the original words at that time. This unclear complaint made Lin Youan's face darken. He looked at his uncle.

"Uncle, the clan leader has already added my mother's name to the family tree. Does that mean my mother's identity has been cleared?"

"Of course!"

Lin Yuanshan replied firmly.

"Don't worry, that old man doesn't have the final say. Just look at what the clan leader said today, and you'll know that your mother's identity is set in stone."

"That's good."

Lin Youan breathed a sigh of relief. After Liu told everyone to go back to their rooms to rest, he took his mother's hand and went back to their own room.

The little sister was sleeping soundly on the bed with a bulging belly. This child always sleeps a lot. Lin Youan ran over to check on her, and then carefully pulled the single clothes from the inside of the bed to cover her.

He turned around and took out the money from selling the prey today from the hidden gap at the head of the bed, pulled Chu Chi to sit in front of the table, and opened the small cloth bag carefully.

The prey was sold for a total of 88 taels of silver, some in small amounts and some in whole. Apart from eight small silver ingots of 10 taels, the rest were small pieces of silver and copper coins, which he counted one by one for Chu Chi to see.

"Mom, there are many wounds on the black bear skin and two bear paws are missing, so it can't be sold at a high price. I'll sell it for seventy taels. The rest is from the money from selling the wild boar.

Originally, the wild boar was worth only seventeen taels and eight cents, but because my uncle was very familiar with the shopkeeper Wang, he simply rounded it up for us, making the total eighty-eight taels.

I took a few taels of silver and bought some food for the lunch banquet today. After all, this is our second branch's own business, and we can't trouble my uncle's family and then let them spend money on it.

The rest are all here. There are eighty-one ounces, seven cents, and twenty-five copper coins left.”

He then took five other small silver ingots from the side, and spoke softly with a dark look in his eyes, not caring whether Chu Chi could understand or not.

“I got these fifty taels of silver back from Zhou’s family yesterday.

Oh, my father was the first in Anfeng Prefecture. Just the commentary on the classics sold to Yunhe Study was more than five hundred taels! There is also this yard and the hundred acres of fertile land.

These are the things that Dad left for my brother and me to survive, but Zhou Yuhe cheated me, a fool, out of them all."

He lowered his head and tears fell down. After all, he was just a child, no matter how smart he was, he couldn't help being sad.

Chu Chi reached out and rubbed his little head. When she was in the base before, she saw humans rubbing the heads of little cubs when they comforted them.

"mother."

Lin Youan raised his red eyes from crying, looking like a poor little stray dog ​​abandoned by his owner.

"Mom, please don't abandon me and Qianqian in the future, okay?"

Chu Chi nodded vigorously.

"We are always together, mother and child."

Although the words were a little confusing, the attitude was very clear. Lin Youan approached her with red eyes, getting closer and closer to the woman who had firmly chosen him.

"Mom, wait for me. My son will grow up soon, and I won't be a burden to you for long. From now on, I will be filial to you all my life, and I will choose the best husband for you. I swear!"

"Well! Choose the best and most wonderful husband."

He reached out and held the ugly crying baby in his arms. In fact, Chu Chi didn't understand what he said, but just followed his heart and echoed him. His white and tender hands gently patted the child's shoulders, trying to give him a little warmth.

Although they are just two children, one big and one small, they have strangely developed some mother-child warmth.

Lin Youan lay in her arms and closed his eyes tiredly.

He remembered the warnings given to him by the clan leader and his uncle, and knew that the money Zhou Yuhe had taken away would probably never be returned. He could only persuade himself over and over again in his heart, thinking that he had bought off the mother-son relationship with money.

Anyway, he has a mother now.

Since people are alive, they should look forward. In his dream, he had seen himself when he grew up. He was dressed in rich clothes, so he would definitely be able to stand out in the future.

By the time……

He clenched his fists tightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his slightly opened eyes.

"An An, after you become rich, will you eat delicious food every day?"

The carefree Chu Chi thought of something very important, so he quickly pulled his son out and asked quickly.

"Can we have barbecue tonight? I'm not full."

"Okay, I'll do it for you in a minute."

The kid, whose sinister thoughts were interrupted, reached out and pulled the cloth bag containing the silver over. He communicated with Chu Chi in a negotiating tone.

"Mom, can I keep the money? I'm worried you might lose it."

"Row."

As long as there is delicious food, nothing else matters. Chu Chi, who has no concept of money, agreed very straightforwardly.
