Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 184 This day is impossible to talk about.

Wu Qingfeng looked at Lin Chang'er, but there were some things he couldn't say because of his superior status.

Lin Chang'er said, "Uncle Hai, do you still remember Niu Xiaomei who came back yesterday?"

Zhou Hai nodded, of course he remembered, she was a pitiful person, her parents were gone, and she was currently being placed with Zhou Xiaohua by Chang Yatou.

Lin Chang'er continued, "Uncle Hai, her family used to own a house and land in the village, right?"

Zhou Hai nodded again, then scratched his head, indicating that he didn't quite understand.

"So who owns her house and land now?"

Zhou Hai said, "I only found out last night after asking some older people that she had a great-uncle, who was Niu Ergen's father. They hadn't been in contact for a long time. When Xiaomei's father passed away, her family held the funeral. Naturally, her family took over her house and land."

Lin Chang'er frowned. She had been busy lately, and when she went to town, she was always rushing to deliver goods to Sihai Restaurant. She hadn't been to the market, and she hadn't heard from Granny Niu or Niu Ergen's wife for a long time.

I wonder if those two troublemakers are still running a stall in Linhai Town.

However, Lin Chang'er asked about Niu Ergen, "Is Niu Ergen also in our coastal defense team now?"

Zhou Hai smiled bitterly, "When we recruited last time, he did sign up, but Granny Niu refused to let him go, went on a hunger strike, and locked him in the house so he wouldn't be allowed to leave."

"But this time, Niu Ergen had his own ideas and was determined to come and train, even if it meant breaking a window."

"After a few such incidents, Granny Niu stopped caring about him. The main problem is that the pirates have caused widespread panic. Granny Niu and her daughter-in-law no longer dare to go to the beach with just a few old ladies. They all rely on his meager income to supplement their household expenses!"

Lin Chang'er pursed her lips, "As long as he is serious about fighting the pirates, I won't care about anything else."

Zhou Hai smiled and said, "He already knew he was wrong about what happened before, and he even came to me privately, but he didn't dare to come to you. I can tell he wasn't slacking off during training or work."

Lin Chang'er nodded. "That's fine then."

After a pause, he asked again, "Now that Xiaomei is back, what does Niu Ergen think?"

Zhou Hai clicked his tongue. "Even if Niu Ergen agrees, you know that his wife and mother-in-law would definitely not be happy about it."

Lin Chang'er was also in a dilemma. She had originally thought that since Xiao Mei had lost her relatives, her house and land should be taken over and kept by the village.

But little did they know that there was a hidden relative.

Seeing that she seemed troubled, Wu Qingfeng took over the conversation and said, "Please ask Uncle Hai privately first. Logically speaking, now that Xiaomei has returned, the item should be returned to its rightful owner."

Zhou Hai looked troubled. "Lord Wu, you know the customs in our village."

Lin Chang'er continued, "I've discussed it with Lord Wu, and we'll follow the rules and have Xiaomei and Brother He merge their households."

Zhou Hai hesitated and said, "But... but can He Zhuangshi change his surname to Niu?"

Lin Chang'er clicked her tongue, realizing she had been careless. Gun'er had changed his surname and given name, and the yamen had already changed his household registration.

However, Gu's mother said that this was a big event and that they should choose an auspicious day to hold the banquet, so it had not been made public until now.

She was convinced that Niu Xiaomei and He Chunhua were good friends, so she wanted Niu Xiaomei to be registered under He Chunshan's household, which would give her a son to lead the family and help her reclaim her assets. It would be a win-win situation for both of them.

But we forget that this is a feudal society, where the despicable practice of cannibalism springs up like mushrooms after rain, and like weeds that cannot be burned out and will sprout again in the spring.

Wu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes as well, saying that he had also chosen the gentlest way to handle Chang'er's matter.

The outdated practice of profiting from the descendants of the deceased has not changed at all.

Xiao Mei's matter could naturally be handled without following the rules, but the two shrewish women from the Niu family were causing quite a commotion.

I'm alright, I don't live in Linshui Village every day, but Chang'er is here!

If we follow the previous procedure...

He closed his eyes briefly and then asked, "Looking for a son-in-law?"

Unexpectedly, another female voice rang out at the same time.

It's Lin Chang'er.

They both paused for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled.

Zhou Hai said, "Unless a poor family is desperate, who would want to be a live-in son-in-law? Xiao Mei is disfigured, and..." He came out of the building.

Zhou Hai sighed, knowing the child's life was hard, and he couldn't bear to say what was to come, but just because he didn't say it didn't mean others wouldn't.

Lin Chang'er's face darkened. Not to mention this era, even in later generations, a girl who has been abducted and found by her family might be pointed at and gossiped about. How much more so in this era where feudal ethics are so cruel.

After sitting for a while, Lin Chang'er got up to say goodbye, and Wu Qingfeng naturally followed.

Lin Chang'er was not in a very good mood after leaving the ancestral hall.

Wu Qingfeng was walking alongside her and naturally noticed her early on.

"Chang'er!" He flicked his sleeves in front of Lin Chang'er, then opened his palm in front of her, revealing a small golden flower quietly in his hand.

Lin Chang'er: "..."

A magic trick? It was just a rather sloppy one. But she liked it, even though it was golden.

Wu Qingfeng then offered the little golden flower to her again.

Lin Chang'er raised an eyebrow, "For me?"

Wu Qingfeng, "Otherwise?"

Lin Chang'er turned to look at him, "What?"

Wu Qingfeng paused. He was trying to make her happy. It was so obvious, how could she not see it?

However, he couldn't say that outright. Instead, he said, "I think you should like it."

"If I like it, you'll give it to me?" Lin Chang'er asked.

Wu Qingfeng nodded. "Then, do you like it?"

Lin Chang'er said, "I like it, of course I like it!" Gold, who doesn't love it!

Of all things in the world, perhaps nothing is more appealing than this golden color?

Wu Qingfeng took her hand and placed the little golden flower in her palm. "Now, it's yours!"

Lin Chang'er lowered her eyes, her hands touching skin, feeling the warmth on the back of her hand, as if it were endless, flowing down her arm and into her heart, making her heart beat faster.

"Thump, thump, thump" At this moment, Lin Chang'er seemed to be able to hear her own heartbeat.

My cheeks suddenly flushed red. What's this? Spring has arrived?

Lin Chang'er abruptly withdrew her hand, then, fearing he would notice her lapse in composure, looked up and smiled, "The moon is so round tonight!"

Wu Qingfeng: "..."

Wu Qingfeng looked at the crescent moon overhead. "Is that so?"

Lin Chang'er's face stiffened. As long as she wasn't embarrassed, it was others who would be. She chuckled and said, "I originally meant to say that the moonlight is beautiful tonight!"

Wu Qingfeng nodded. "It's not bad."

Lin Chang'er hummed twice and walked with her head down.

Wu Qingfeng remained silent.

Afraid that the air would suddenly fall silent, Lin Chang'er felt even more awkward, so she changed the subject, "Speaking of which, you're quite unlucky. You ran into the pirates both times they came to the village!"

Now it was Wu Qingfeng's turn to be embarrassed, but the facts were right in front of him. He paused for a moment and said, "Next time I'll go back earlier?"

Lin Chang'er: "..." It seems like this conversation is going to end...
