Chapter 5: Sign the Contract

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Old Mr. Secretary, although this kind of thing is not glorious, I am not a fool. I can afford it, but this matter cannot be said verbally. We have signed an agreement on this. In the future, this woman has nothing to do with the Yang family.” said Liu Baishan.

Although it would be bad for a man to find a wife without the help of her family, it was also better not to have such a family either. Liu Baishan could feel that his clothes were about to be torn.

The villagers were just watching the show. No one thought of carrying the woman back to change her clothes. It was obvious that the woman did not live well in the village. After all, if her family did not care, outsiders would not care either.

“You mean what you say?” Bai Hua looked at Liu Baishan excitedly.

“Take it or leave it!” said Liu Baishan as he pretended to leave.

“Boy, come to my house and have some tea. Lan also needs to change her clothes,” The village party secretary held his arm and said enthusiastically.

Liu Baishan also felt a little cold and nodded.

“I agree to that. But, why did you let him go to your house?” Bai Hua thought that the old village party secretary wanted Liu Baishan to leave. She reached out her hands and wrapped around Liu Baishan’s leg to stop him from leaving.

“Stop embarrassing me. Yang Laoda, control your wife this instance!” said the old village part secretary furiously. He thought, ‘That father of Yang Cailan was a good-for-nothing.’

Yang Laoda saw how angry the old village party secretary was. He did not dare to stay still, but it was also strenuous.

Liu Baishan did not want to continue the stalemate. He said, “As long as you sign the agreement, I will take this woman as my wife!”

Yang Cailan felt a little depressed. She felt like a piece of cargo, but since she could leave the Yang family, she could not care less about these things. When she was completely rid of the aftereffects, she would repay this man well.

The woman, who was still stiff when Liu Baishan held her just now, softened in his arms. If Liu Baishan could not feel the change, he would be a fool. However, he did not think too much about it. He just thought that she was scared by the water.

“Sign it! Let’s sign it!” said Bai Hua. Her mind was filled with the thought of ¥300. Although that old man had promised Bai Hua ¥200, he hadn’t given it to her yet.

“Mother, no! You can’t destroy Lan’s future!” Yang Ping said weakly. He crawled on the ground and tried to stop his mother.

“Yang Ping, Liu Baishan is from the Liu family of Tranquil Village. Tranquil Village is richer than our village. Lan is better off than the old man your mother has taken a fancy to!” Some random woman in the village still understood what was going on. She saw through the old village chief’s intentions and tried to persuade Yang Ping.

“I understand, but Lan was bought with money. When she reaches her in-laws’ house, how can she have a good expression?” said Yang Ping. His already pale face turned even paler.

“Then what can you do? Your mother did it for the sake of getting you a wife and treating your illness. When you recover, you can still help your younger sisters!” said the woman. She was also a middle-aged woman with a few children at home. She naturally knew the hardships of a woman’s family and that was how their life was. No matter what, men were the pillars of the family. If a woman did not have a brother to help her, that would be really hard.

Bai Hua asked someone to carry Yang Ping to the village party secretary’s house. She did not care what her son said. She was going to take the money today. When the days were better, his son would understand.

“Thank you!” Yang Cailan knew that she was immoral, but she could not bear to part with her portable spiritual energy container. Moreover, she could use this opportunity to get rid of the Yang family. She was really grateful.

Liu Baishan’s eyes moved slightly when he heard Yang Cailan’s words. He believed that she was a kind woman since she knew how to be grateful. He took it as spending money to buy peace of mind.

The old village party secretary’s house was not better than the other villagers’ houses. It also had adobe walls and there were many chickens and ducks in the yard.

Yang Cailan had no choice but to wake up. Otherwise, she would probably be strangled to death by Bai Hua.

Liu Baishan and Yang Cailan, who had changed their clothes. One sat opposite the village chief and another stood beside him.

Yang Laoda squatted in the corner and smoked a pipe. Bai Hua looked at the contract written by the village accountant. Although she could not read a word, she recognized the money.

“See if there’s any problem? If everything is in order, press your fingerprint and sign your name. In the future, Lan would be the daughter-in-law of the Liu family.” The village party secretary asked Liu Baishan to take a look.

Although it was called a contract, the content was actually simple. It was just a written agreement that Yang Cailan would have nothing to do with the Yang family in the future. Besides, the contract was illegal under common law. Only the village party secretary and Liu Baishan knew about it. The others did not know, especially Yang Laoda and Bai Hua. The contract was meant to shut them up.

“Hurry up and sign it!” Seeing the ¥300 that Liu Baishan took out, Bai Hua’s heart itched. She did not care about her daughter at all.

Yang Laoda put away his tobacco pipe and leaned over. He asked, “Are we really signing this?”

He was indeed eyeing the ¥300, but he was also afraid that the village party secretary would hit him.
