After Transmigration, I Picked Up A Husband and Daughter

All sorts of harsh words stripped away their remaining dignity and face like sharp blades, one layer at a time.

Although the elderly couple tried their best to remain calm, their trembling hands and tightly pursed lips still betrayed their anxiety and agony.

In the midst of the noisy crowd, the village chief’s eyes were unusually resolute, fixed intently on the pillar of the Jiang Family—Jiang Xunzhong, hoping that he would step forward and stabilize the situation with the authority of a family head.

The village chief understood that this was not just about the future of the Jiang Family, but also about the harmony and stability of the entire village.

Jiang Xunzhong finally could not restrain himself amidst the jeers and sarcasm, especially when he heard someone question his filial piety, saying he was so heartless even towards his own son, Changping, that a surge of blood rushed to his head.

The image of responsibility he had painstakingly built up over these days could not collapse simply because of a few outside remarks.

Indeed, those seven taels of silver were not a small sum, but for the remaining sixty taels, the Jiang Family had plenty of reasons and needs to hold on to them.

After quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he took a deep breath and, with an unmistakable determination in his voice, declared, "Let’s do as the village chief suggests, give the extra silver to those who need it, and we will retain sixty taels for unforeseen necessities."

Upon hearing this, the village chief’s face immediately blossomed into a smile, and he hurriedly brought out his brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, ready to draft the watershed separation contract.

Xie Xinghua, on the other hand, wore a look of shock. Could those seven-plus taels of silver really belong to her? The sudden news was almost too much for her to believe.

While Jiang Xunzhong was immersed in the praise of the villagers, savoring the glorious moment of being recognized as the head of the family, he was suddenly struck on the back of his head.
