Chapter 2643: Mission 29

Editor: Henyee Translations

The Land Officer arrived accompanied by numerous villagers, harboring skepticism about the successful transfer of ownership. He believed that the claim might be a ploy to deceive the villagers, and as long as the Tian family collaborated, they could easily fall for the ruse.

Expressing such bias towards him, the Land Officer appeared dismissive, almost disdainful. It seemed as if he had grown tired of living.

“I’ve heard that you’ve completed the adoption,” Land Officer inquired condescendingly. His tone hinted that if they were found to be dishonest, he wouldn’t be as accommodating when they sought registration in the future.

“Yes,” Gu Chaoyan responded calmly.

The Land Officer chuckled, maintaining an air of skepticism. However, he shifted to a more serious tone, saying, “Words alone won’t suffice. Show us the documents.”

The Land Officer exhibited no urgency, simultaneously signaling to Old Man Yan that there was no need for anxiety. He seemed confident that they had not executed the process adequately and felt no haste to address the matter.

Gu Chaoyan produced the document bearing the county’s stamp.

The Land Officer’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Well…”

It was, indeed, an authentic county document. How could they have accomplished it?

Impossible.

Even for him, such a task would be challenging, let alone for ordinary villagers.

Gu Chaoyan explained deliberately, “The manager of the Lin Family’s pharmacy has always been in contact with my family. I consulted him, and Manager Lin guided us through the process. It was completed swiftly. The county officials mentioned that if any issues arise in the future, we can directly seek their assistance.”

“…”

“It’s just an adoption document. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. Why should it be challenging?” Gu Chaoyan remarked, maintaining a composed demeanor, as if the whole situation were trivial.

Her nonchalant attitude conveyed a sense of capability.

With such influence in the county, any attempt by the villagers to mistreat them would likely be met with resistance.

The passing of the third son of Yan hadn’t left a lasting impact. He had been influential both in the village and the county. Even after his demise, many of his old acquaintances continued to show respect.

Manager Lin, in particular, had demonstrated this respect.

Some villagers indirectly inquired, “Danqiu, since Manager Lin of the Lin Family’s pharmacy is in contact with you, does that mean we can sell the herbs we grow through your family?”

They discussed instances of mistreatment by various villagers.

There were valid reasons for such grievances.

Previously, they had sold herbs to the Lin Family at a stable price. However, with the departure of the third son of Yan, the business ceased. The Lin Family’s pharmacy no longer accepted herbs, forcing them to sell to smaller shops. This proved not only inconvenient but also less profitable.

Gu Chaoyan pondered the situation.

While they could leave the village, Ms. Wang and her younger sisters had deep roots there. There was no need to sever ties completely; it might not be beneficial in the long run.

So, she nodded. “Certainly, if you have herbs, just give them to me. I’ll sell them to the Lin Family’s pharmacy at the same price as before.”

“…”

“In the past, lacking a male figure and backbone in the family was a setback. Now that Tian Jiu is adopted by Mother, our family is back to how it used to be.”

“…”

“In addition, for the upcoming banquet, apart from treating everyone to a meal, we also need a few helpers. We’re offering 100 copper coins as compensation for their hard work. If any uncles or aunts are willing to help, let us know. We’re looking for five or six people.”
