Shi Dashan came out quickly, and when Black Tiger saw him, he ran away.

Liu Siyue laughed. "With such a cowardly appearance, she still wants to take care of others."

"I'm done eating, we can go now." Shi Dashan wiped his mouth with his sleeve as he walked out.

There were four of them when they came, and six when they returned. They didn't dare to stop along the way, and by the time they reached Dayang Village, the sun had already set.

Liu Siyue and her group arrived at the village chief's house in Dayang Village. "Village chief, we've come to retrieve the oxcart. Thank you for your help. Here's the money; it's what we agreed on."

The village chief didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the money directly.

Liu Siyue and her group arrived in Qingshui Town and found an inn to stay at.

After having breakfast the next day, they prepared to set off. Shi Dashan opened his mouth again and again, wondering why he hadn't received the 50 taels of silver yet. Was he being tricked?

I need to ask first; if he doesn't give it to me, he'll run away.

Shi Dashan didn't know how to address Liu Siyue, so he could only say "Hey." Liu Siyue turned to look at him.

"Didn't you say we'd have to give you 50 when we got to town?"

"You remember that quite clearly." She took out a 50-tael silver note from her sleeve and threw it at his face.

He wasn't angry about Liu Siyue's attitude towards him; as long as he could get the money, he didn't care what happened.

The oxcart soon arrived at Sifang Town. Liu Siyue stopped the oxcart at the town entrance. "Shi Dashan, my second uncle will take you to Liujia Village. When you get there, go in by yourself. Their family can't be intimidated. If they don't give you the letter of severance, you can act tough. Remember to write on the letter that you gave them 2 taels of silver to sever ties."

"Do you want me to pay two taels of silver?"

"Of course you gave it to me."

"But they didn't say I had to give them this money!"

"You gave it to me and you're not going to ask for it back, how could you be so stupid!"

"Can I get it back after giving it away?"

"If you want it, what excuse can't you use? Just say that my eldest sister keeps saying she wants to go back to her parents' home, and you have no other choice but to ask for a letter of severance to stop her from going back to her parents' home."

The two taels of silver are compensation they gave you. Besides, they sold your eldest sister to you in the first place; they should have written a letter severing ties back then.

"Could you lend me two taels of silver first? I only have those 50 taels of silver notes on me, not a single copper coin."

Liu Siyue took out two taels of silver and gave it to him, saying, "My eldest sister is very ill. I need to take her to the county town to see a doctor first. After you get the letter severing ties, come to the county town to find me."

I'll wait for you at Huichuntang Clinic in the county town. Consider the two taels of silver as your travel and meal expenses.

Shi Dashan was overjoyed when he heard this, "Okay, I guarantee I'll handle things perfectly for you."

"Second Uncle, after you bring him back to the village, hurry home and let Mother know you're safe. I'm afraid she'll worry."

I'll have a carriage take you back.

Liu Siyue spent one tael of silver to hire a horse-drawn carriage to take the two back to the village, and then told the driver to wait and take Shi Dashan directly to the county town.

Shi Dashan was even happier now, as it was as if he had gotten those two taels of silver for free.

Liu Dawang and Shi Dashan returned to Liujia Village in a horse-drawn carriage, while Liu Siyue also headed to the county town.

Liu Dawang got off the carriage at the village entrance and told the driver the way to Liu Dahu's house.

When Shi Dashan arrived at Liu Dahu's house, he saw that the door was open and went straight in.

Huang Lanhua heard someone talking in the courtyard. She came out and saw a strange man. Why did he look so familiar?

"Who are you?"

"Mother-in-law, I am Shi Dashan, Liu Yiyue's husband."

How is my father-in-law doing lately?

"Ah~ Ah~, all good!" Huang Lanhua's heart skipped a beat. They hadn't visited in so many years, why did they suddenly come? Could it be that something happened to that brat?

Lan Hua asked cautiously, "Da Shan, you haven't come for so many years. Is there something you need today?"

"Mother-in-law, there are some things I didn't think of before, and I'm here to make up for them."

"What do you need to make up for? When you came to take people away, we told you that you could take them and their lives or deaths were none of our business."

"That's what we said at the time, but your daughter keeps making a fuss about going back to her parents' home every few days, and we can't live like this anymore. She throws tantrums and hits the child all day long."

You sold him to me back then, so to completely sever her thoughts of returning to her parents' home, you need to write me a letter severing ties with her.

When Huang Lanhua heard that they had come to sever ties, she thought it was nothing serious.

Grandpa Liu came out when he heard the noise. He looked at the man standing in front of him and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

Huang Lanhua quickly introduced, "Father, this is January's husband, Shi Dashan."

"I knew you looked familiar! Oh, it's you!"

"Grandson-in-law greets Grandfather!"

"Dashan, how are things going with that girl? What brings you here today?"

Shi Dashan sighed, "Ever since I brought Yiyue home, she's been making a fuss about going back to her parents' house, saying that our place is too poor and she's not used to living there. She's run away countless times, but I've always managed to catch her and bring her back."

After we had children, he settled down. But when the children grew up, she started causing trouble again. At home, she would either hit the children or scold the elders. She would make a scene, wanting to go back to her parents' home and even asked me to divorce him.

I had no other choice but to ask for a letter of severance to dissolve the marriage and prevent her from returning to her parents' home.

"Oh, I see!" Old Master Liu thought that Liu Siyue had become rich after severing ties with her family, so he didn't want to write a letter of severance this time.

"We can't choose to write a letter severing ties, but we can help you persuade her."

"Why can't I write it? You sold her to me back then, I should have demanded a letter of severance then, but I didn't expect this." Shi Dashan's voice suddenly became louder.

"Severing ties with your child is not a good thing. We will definitely try our best to persuade her to settle down and live a peaceful life with you."

"Bullshit! Are you going to write the letter of severance or not? If you don't, believe me, I'll break your old bones!"

Huang Lanhua quickly tried to smooth things over, saying that Shi Dashan seemed like a stubborn and reckless person, and what if he started hitting someone? There was no one in the family who could beat him.

"Dashan, don't be angry. Your grandfather is only thinking about the reputation of both families. You just want a letter of severance, right? We'll give it to you."

"Please sit down and rest for a while. I'll send someone to fetch the village chief right away."

"August, August, where have you been?!"

Liu Bayue was tidying up the pigsty in the backyard when she heard Huang Lanhua calling her. She quickly ran out, "Mother, did you call me?"

"Go to the village chief's house quickly and invite him over. Tell him that we need his help with something and ask him to bring some writing materials."

Liu Bayue ran away in a flash. She didn't know who the man was, but she felt that he was very fierce, and her mother and grandfather were a little afraid of him.

A little while later, village chief Liu Jinsheng arrived with August, and August briefly told him about her family's situation.

When the village chief arrived, Shi Dashan was sitting in the main room drinking water.

When Huang Lanhua saw the village chief arrive, she immediately said, "Village chief, you've come! Please have a seat. Thank you for your help."

"Why did you call me here?"

"Village Chief, this is Shi Dashan, Yiyue's husband. He wants a letter severing ties between Yiyue and us. Could you please write it for me?"

"Writing a letter severing ties is easy; are you sure you want to write it?"

"I must write! I must write!"

"Village chief, when you write the letter of severance, you should add a clause that my wife will give me two taels of silver to sever ties, so that she won't cause any trouble or make things unclear later."

Because the village chief was present, Shi Dashan couldn't cause trouble, so he took out two taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Huang Lanhua.

Huang Lanhua quickly put the silver away; the family was short of money, and this was like a godsend.

The village chief quickly wrote the letter severing ties with the family and had them sign and put their fingerprints on it.

"He wasn't there for a month, so our fingerprints are useless, and the severance agreement is invalid."

"Village chief, I have the letter of severance of kinship with me. I'll go back, put my fingerprint on it, and then bring it to you."

"Okay, remember to bring it over. I'll head back once I've finished this."

As soon as the village chief left, Shi Dashan stretched out his hand, "Give me the silver."
