He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

Niu Bayi said, "That family isn't human. Uncle Aiguo, don't take it to heart. Getting angry over people who aren't worth it is just wasting your time."

Niu Aiguo said, "You're such a sensible child. By the way, I also heard that you were really amazing last night. You borrowed your boyfriend's boat and caught a lot of abalone at sea."

"The He family didn't like you at first, but seeing how capable you are, and that you even gave them most of your fish catch, they agreed to marry their daughter to you. Who would have thought that Niu Bayi, who's been sickly since childhood, is actually like this!"

"Now it really proves the saying, 'We've turned the tables and become the masters,' hahaha."

Niu Bayi scratched the back of his head.

"Uncle Aiguo, don't flatter me. I'm all bravado. Next time I go out to sea and catch abalone, I'll bring you a few to try."

Niu Aiguo quickly waved his hand.

"That won't do. Abalone is so precious and can fetch a lot of money. It would be a waste to eat it. I don't even dare to accept this sea bass that weighs over ten kilograms. You should take it back; you can sell it for several tens of yuan."

Niu Bayi immediately shook his head.

"Uncle Aiguo, you're wrong to say that. You've always taken good care of me. Now that I know how to fish, what's wrong with giving you a fish to try? If you don't accept it, then you're not taking me seriously."

To make Niu Bayi a serious man, Niu Aiguo called his wife Deng Jiaying over and brought the sea bass into the kitchen to keep it alive.

Deng Jiaying was overjoyed when she saw it.

"Bayi, you're so kind to my family, sending such a heavy sea bass! Stay for dinner tonight and let's eat this fish together!"

"I'm going to my boyfriend's house for dinner tonight. Next time I'll buy some good fish and come to Aunt Deng's house for a good meal."

Deng Jiaying nodded repeatedly and happily carried the sea bass to the kitchen.

Niu Bayi looked at Niu Aiguo, scratched the back of his head, and spoke up a little embarrassedly.

"Uncle Aiguo, there's actually another thing I wanted to talk to you about."

Niu Aiguo chuckled.

"I saw it coming a long time ago. Tell me, what's wrong? I'll do my best to help you with anything."

Niu Bayi then told Niu about his desire to build a house and his need for a piece of land.

After listening, Niu Aiguo's eyebrows furrowed.

"Bayi, it's not that Uncle Aiguo doesn't want to help you, it's just that the current policy doesn't support it. You've heard of the 'one household, one residence' policy, right?"

Niu Bayi shook his head.

Niu Aiguo said, "The so-called 'one household, one homestead' means that each household can only own one homestead and cannot occupy another piece of land. And this household is calculated according to the household registration book."

"Although you've severed ties with your father, your household registration is still with Niu Dazhuang. So, according to the policy, you and he are considered to be in the same household. Therefore, you can't apply for a new homestead without proper documentation."

Niu Bayi scratched the back of his head.

"Uncle Aiguo, please help me first. Cut my household registration out of my original family home and sever all ties!"

Niu Aiguo said, "That's what they say, but you don't own a house. If your household registration is cut off, where will you register it?"

Niu Bayi was dumbfounded.

"So, if I want to get a plot of land for homesteading, I have to sever my household registration with Niu Dazhuang's side. But to sever my household registration with Niu Dazhuang's side, I need a plot of land for homesteading, a house to build on, and then I can register my household there?"

Niu Aiguo nodded repeatedly.

Niu Bayi's face turned sour.

"Isn't this a vicious cycle with no way to solve it?"

Niu Aiguo shook his head.

"It's difficult; it's basically a dead end!"

Niu Bayi asked, "Uncle Aiguo, is there really no other way?"

Niu Aiguo didn't speak, he just shook his head.

"Alright, I won't trouble Uncle Aiguo any further. I'll think about it some more."

Niu Bayi stood up and was about to walk out.

Niu Aiguo quickly saw the guest out.

"Bayi, I'm so sorry, although I'm the village party secretary, my abilities are limited, and this is really difficult to handle."

Niu Bayi waved his hand.

"Uncle Aiguo, please don't be so polite. I'm just asking around. I don't really expect to be able to get things done. I understand you're having difficulties."

Just as he was about to walk out, he suddenly heard a painful groan coming from the back room; it was an old man.

Niu Bayi then remembered what Zhang Aiqun had said: Niu's mother was seriously ill, so he had to stay at home to take care of her.

He casually asked, "Uncle Aiguo, what illness does your aunt have?"

Upon hearing this, Niu Aiguo sighed deeply.

"My mom had been having stomach aches for a few months. She was taken to the hospital for a checkup and they said she had parasites in her stomach. She took medicine and got injections, but it didn't seem to help. They also tried a lot of folk remedies, but none of them worked."

"My stomach is so swollen, it hurts so much! I'm so worried, I don't know what to do."

He was almost in tears, which shows how filial he is.

Niu Bayi asked sympathetically, "Isn't there any other way?"

Niu Aiguo sighed and said, "Look, I found another folk remedy. They say coconut shells have an insecticidal effect. If you eat them, the worms will come out. I also asked someone to find some coconut shells."

"Although it had some effect after I ate it and she passed a few worms, it made the other worms even more agitated, causing my mom's stomach to be in constant turmoil. Now we really don't know what to do!"

The so-called "coconut treasure" is the white flesh of a coconut that grows from the embryo inside the coconut as it matures and falls naturally.

It is a concentrated essence of coconut water and coconut meat, hence the name "Coconut Treasure".

It is said to be able to cure many diseases.

Upon hearing this, Niu Bayi's heart stirred, and he immediately probed the ocean space with his mind.

On the golden sand, a withered, cracked coconut lay.

Niu Bayi drank all the juice, which is why he was able to fully recover and have inexhaustible strength.

But there's still coconut meat inside this coconut.

I wonder if the coconut meat in this magical space will have any effect.

Niu Bayi thought it might be worth a try.

He immediately used his mind to completely break the coconut open, and sure enough, there was coconut meat inside.

Although it's not a coconut treasure, it's pure white and lustrous, exuding a strong coconut fragrance that refreshes the mind and body.

Niu Bayi said, "Uncle Aiguo, I just broke off some coconut meat. Why don't you let Auntie try it and see if it can get rid of the parasites?"

He pulled a few pieces of white, jade-like coconut meat from his pocket.

He used his mind to pry it out of that coconut.

Niu Aiguo shook his head: "Bayi, I appreciate your kindness, but the coconut treasure is useless, let alone the coconut meat."

Niu Bayi was very serious.

"Uncle Aiguo, this coconut meat of mine is extraordinary. It's processed using a secret method and possesses remarkable medicinal properties. Don't believe me? Smell it; isn't this coconut meat much more fragrant than coconut milk?"

Niu Aiguo took a piece with a puzzled look, smelled it, and then nodded repeatedly.

"That's right, that's right, it's definitely more fragrant than the few coconut treasures I painstakingly found. And... why does it also have a medicinal scent? How did you make it?"

Niu Bayi blinked and shifted the blame to his long-deceased mother.

"This is a method passed down from my mother, which I only recently rediscovered. I used this method to process coconut meat, ate a few pieces, and my illness improved considerably."

"I'm thinking it might be of some use to your mother too."

Niu Aiguo became excited upon hearing this.
