Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Obviously, everyone knew that Madam Qian had been killed at home, and the Wang family’s father and son had gone to the Qian family’s house to retrieve the corpse.

That villager was also worried that the same thing might happen in their village.

After all, when there were fewer people in the village, the probability of incidents occurring would be much higher than usual when felons decide to cause trouble.

Wang Dashan glanced at the man, hesitated for a moment, and said, “Yes, we have to be more careful.

“But we will be moving into town after this.

“So, Uncle Kun, I think it’s better that you guys discuss this matter among yourselves.”

That man was shocked.

…..

Did this mean that the village was going to have one less family?

Wang Laoshuan was also shocked and looked at his son.

Wang Dashan did not explain and turned to leave.

Wang Laoshuan quickly gave chase.

After he caught up, he did not say anything until he returned to his own house.

“Dashan, we, are we moving to town?” Finally, Wang Laoshuan spoke up.

Wang Dashan turned around and glanced at his father. Then, he continued with his work.

“Mm-hmm. There’s an extra room for rent in the Liu family’s newly bought courtyard house.”

“I’ve discussed it with them before. They’ve agreed to rent it to us.” Wang Dashan did not mention his younger sister’s involvement.

As for the reason, it was naturally because he did not want Wang Laoshuan to pester his younger sister.

Wang Laoshuan’s heart skipped a beat.

“How much is the rent?” He rushed forward and asked Wang Dashan.

“100 copper coins a month,” Wang Dashan replied.

“So expensive?” Wang Laoshuan’s eyes widened.

Wang Dashan shot a glance at his father in annoyance.

“Do you think it’s a house in the countryside? For courtyard houses in town, even if it’s just renting a room, it will cost more than two hundred copper coins a month at least.” “It’s because we are from the same village that the Liu family is willing to rent out their room to us at a low price.”

Wang Laoshuan did not dare to say anything more after his son glared at him.

“I have to tell you this upfront. Our family is able to rent the Liu family’s room because the Liu family is upright.”

“After we go to town, we’ll all live under one roof. You’d better not cause any trouble,” Wang Dashan added.

One couldn’t blame Wang Dashan for warning his father in advance. This was primarily because if he didn’t tell his father in advance, he was afraid his father would cause friction between them and the Liu family.

“I know.” Wang Laoshuan’s expression was a little awkward, but he still gave his word.

Nonetheless, it was good that they could move to town at this time.

The main reason was what happened to Madam Qian had also frightened him.

He didn’t really dare to stay in Brook Falls Village anymore.

After a while, Wang Laoshuan looked at his son again.

“Then when are we moving?” he asked.

“I’ll go talk to the Liu family. We can probably move there tomorrow at the earliest. If not, it will be the day after tomorrow.”

Most of the villagers had left, including Second Uncle’s family. There was no reason for them to continue staying in Brook Falls Village.

Wang Laoshuan’s eyes lit up.

“Alright! Then I’ll pack my luggage when I’m free.”

Wang Dashan glanced at his father again and did not say anything in the end.

After packing up the firewood, he set off for the town.

After selling the firewood, he sent the remaining two bundles of firewood to the Song family’s residence.

Wang Dashan then told his younger sister about their plan to move to town.

After that, Wang Dashan went to the Liu family’s house.

As for the Liu family, they naturally agreed because Wang Xiaomei had already spoken to them about this.

After this, Wang Dashan gave the Liu family 200 copper coins, comprising a deposit of 100 copper coins plus a month’s rent. After settling the rental lease with the Liu family, they agreed to let the Wang family move in the next day.

The fact that Wang Dashan only had to pay one month’s rental deposit and one month’s rent on a monthly basis was because the Liu family was upright.

Wang Dashan was very grateful for that.

When he returned home, he told Wang Laoshuan the news.

Wang Laoshuan was so happy that he could not stop grinning for a long time.

He was no longer in the mood to go into the mountains to gather firewood, so he began to pack his luggage.

Although Wang Dashan was a little displeased, he did not stop his father.

“Forget it. I’ll just get rid of the remaining firewood at home,” he thought.

After that, when they had moved, they would just go to the mountains outside the town to gather firewood.

Thus, Wang Dashan didn’t go to the mountains near Brook Falls Village to gather firewood again.

He simply hauled back all the firewood that he and Wang Laoshuan had stored in the mountains.

Thereafter, he went to town and sold all the firewood.

It was already evening when Wang Dashan was done with his tasks.

Back home, Wang Dashan sat on the steps below the roof eaves. He did not feel like moving at all.

Fortunately, Wang Laoshuan was not idle at home.

Not only did he finish packing the stuff they needed to bring along when they moved the next day, but he also went to the well to get water and made dinner.

Wang Laoshuan’s heart ached a little when he saw his son’s state.

He brought some water for his son and waited for Wang Dashan to finish drinking. After resting for a while, he brought his son into the house for dinner.

In a sense, the father and son got along quite harmoniously.

Early the next morning, the father and son put their luggage of various sizes on the handcart.

After that, they pushed the handcart full of their belongings and moved to town.

When they arrived at the Liu family, the two elders of the Liu family came to help.

However, Wang Dashan turned down their offer and said that they could handle it themselves.

Thus, the Liu family did not get involved.

And so the Wang family’s father and son settled down in the Liu family’s house.

At noon, Wang Xiaomei came over.

She even brought some bean sprouts over.

Wang Laoshuan straightaway started cooking in the small kitchen in the courtyard.

That was right. When the Liu family tidied up the courtyard, they did not demolish the small kitchen.

They left it behind for the Wang family.

After the Wang family moved in, they were very happy to find they had their own small kitchen.

Wang Laoshuan was very pleased with their current living environment.

“It’s good to know that you guys have settled down. I won’t be having lunch with you. Many people come to the Song family’s house at noon, so I’ll go back first.” Wang Xiaomei said and rejected Wang Laoshuan’s invitation to stay for lunch.

The Song family’s business of selling water and bean sprouts had gone into full swing.

This was especially true for the bean sprout business. Even though the price had increased to five copper coins per catty, there was still an endless stream of people buying bean sprouts.

In the past few days, Mrs. Song had planted bean sprouts in all eight sheds.

…..

The household was busier than before.

Wang Dashan expressed his understanding. “Sure! Then have a safe journey back,” he responded.

Wang Laoshuan wanted to say something else, but after some thought, he did not ask his daughter to stay.

After all, the food at the Song family’s house was definitely better than theirs.

Now that food was in short supply, it was good to let his daughter go back to the Song family’s house to eat.

After the meal, the father and son did some tidying up and finally settled down in their new home.

Following that, Wang Dashan brought Wang Laoshuan to the Song family’s house to fetch water.

At the same time, he was also showing Wang Laoshuan the way.

After all, there were only the two of them at home. In the future, they would have to take turns fetching water.

On the way, Wang Dashan gave his father another warning.

He told his father about the Song family selling water to outsiders, and that they were only able to get water for free on account of their younger sister.

He reminded him not to offend the Song family.

Wang Laoshuan bore his son’s reminder in mind.

The Song family charged three copper coins for a bucket of water. The Wang family was allowed to fetch two buckets a day. That could have cost them six copper coins a day.

Wang Laoshuan naturally had to take care when the other party was doing them such a big favor.

At the same time, Wang Laoshuan also felt that his daughter still remembered them and was not as cold as she seemed on the surface.

When they reached the Song family’s residence, Wang Laoshuan saw the people who had come to buy water and bean sprouts.

Ever since the locust plague, the Song family did not set a fixed time for selling water. As and when anyone needed it, they could come to the Song family’s place to buy water or bean sprouts..
