Chapter 2628: Mission 14

Editor: Henyee Translations

Old Man Yan looked at Yan Danqiu in confusion.

Did she genuinely run to find the Land Officer?

A little girl who wasn’t afraid at all.

Old Man Yan was annoyed, but not frightened.

Having lived in the North Village for many years, he was well-versed in everything. Given the third branch’s situation, as long as Third was around, those fields would eventually return to the old house. It was just a matter of timing. If Third was still alive, they would claim it later. Now that he was gone, it had to be sooner.

In plain terms, Third’s family had become extinct.

Without him, it was all over.

Now that this little girl refused to comply, what was the point?

Could they still safeguard those 15 acres of land?

Ignoring the fact that they couldn’t keep the assets, their own lives wouldn’t be prosperous.

With the protection of the old house, they could still find suitable matches and carry on with their lives. Without that support, who in the village or beyond would care about them?

She was naive.

Old Man Yan didn’t mind. There was no need for him to rush to tarnish his reputation. He would let them stir up trouble. When the time came for genuine suffering, he would naturally emerge.

Old Man Yan waited patiently for the Land Officer to arrive, sipping his wine and feeling content with his life.

Yan Danxia quickly summoned someone.

The Land Officer arrived, and many onlookers gathered.

The Land Officer had some understanding of the situation but didn’t expect to be summoned. He was feeling irritated.

“What is it again?” the Land Officer asked.

“Third has passed away, and the third branch is without a male heir. Now, even the Jiang family has come to annul the engagement. Third was unfortunate, leaving early without a son. I must take care of Third’s affairs. I didn’t expect these young girls not to heed my guidance. If they refuse to accept it, that’s their choice, but I won’t concern myself with it any longer. I won’t meddle in the future. Land Officer, you’re here to witness. If any issues arise in the third branch later on, we won’t interfere,” Old Man Yan declared.

As Old Man Yan spoke, those who heard his words formed their own thoughts and opinions.

The third son of the Yan family had a decent life, but unfortunately, he passed away without leaving behind a son. The question arose about the ownership of Third’s family farmland. If the young girls from the Third family were to marry within the North Village, the fields could follow them. If they were not to marry within the North Village, it would be impractical to grant them the fields.

Now, the members of the Yan family’s old house sought to reclaim these fields.

The girl from the third branch of the Yan family resisted.

This was an unprecedented event in the North Village, and everyone was eager to witness the outcome.

The third branch had already split up, and logically, it should belong to the third branch.

Even the Land Officer found himself in a dilemma.

This was indeed a complicated matter.

In usual circumstances, it would be acceptable to let the unmarried girls be protected by the members of the old house until they got married. Yan Danqiu, however, was unwilling.

Land Officer furrowed his brow and looked at Yan Danqiu. “If you persist in this decision, the rest of the Yan family will truly disassociate from your family. Have you carefully considered this?”

“Yes,” Yan Danqiu affirmed.

“Very well,” Land Officer conceded. It was a family matter, and he had already agreed to be a witness. He had nothing further to add.

The matter was concluded.

Land Officer departed, leaving the surrounding villagers still observing the situation, eager to see the outcome of this family dispute.
