Chapter 1147: Chapter 1147: What Should We Do Now?

"Lianger, hurry up and move the stuff inside, Mother is going to sit down in the house for a bit," she said to her son.

After instructing her son, she rubbed her back and staggered towards the house.

However, she hadn’t even made it halfway there when a stern shout stopped her in her tracks, "Why are you coming in empty-handed? Don’t you know to help Lianger with a hand? Hurry up and move things!"

These were the words spat out by Old Master Zhou.

Madam Zhou paused, staring blankly at her husband, her mouth hanging open.

She wanted to say that she had never done any heavy lifting before, but she felt that saying so now would only bring more scolding.

So she bit her lip, glanced towards the direction of the cart, and reluctantly walked over.

"Ah, now we are penniless; what shall we do?" Elder Mr. Zhou sighed deeply, questioning his son, as well as himself.

"Father, don’t worry, tomorrow I will take the cart into town. At the very least, we should be able to get a few pieces of silver for it," Old Master Zhou said.

At this point, they could only take one step at a time and see if they could last until his younger brother returned. Then they might be able to settle into a new home and live a good life once more.

"That’s all we can do," Elder Mr. Zhou sighed again and said.

...

The Lin Family.

Knocking sounds ’bang bang bang’ arose, startling several people from their sleep.

Lin Changhong was the first to open his room door, looking baffledly towards the courtyard gate, "Who is it? Who’s knocking at this hour of the night?"

"Changhong, open the door quickly, I have an emergency," a woman’s voice came from outside.

Hearing the voice, Lin Changhong raised an eyebrow and looked towards his sister who had just opened her door.

"Go open the door," Lin Caisang directed.

The person outside the courtyard was Liu Yushui, and she could not have come here without a reason, especially not late at night.

"Alright."

Lin Changhong nodded and went to open the door.

Shortly after, Liu Yushui entered the hall, her face full of urgency as she looked at Lin Caisang and the others.

"Yushui, what did you just say, who entered the village?" Lu Qiubo just came out of his room, still fastening his buttons, and asked anxiously after hearing her.

"Granny, you heard right, it’s the Zhou family, they’ve all moved to Ya Village," Liu Yushui clarified.

"Just now, Sanni and Si Ni wouldn’t stop crying, and I was comforting them when I heard the sound of a cart on the road outside. Out of curiosity, I went to look... Granny, the Zhou family must have moved into the village for sure. I just saw them unloading big and small bags from the cart."

Hearing Liu Yushui’s words, Lin Caisang’s face darkened.

She had only intended to give the Zhou family a lesson, to keep them from causing trouble at her doorstep, never expecting that her actions would drive them back to Ya Village so harshly.

Nevertheless, she looked at Liu Yushui.

"Liu Yushui, what does the Zhou family moving back to the village have to do with you? You’re already married; you should just live your life with your husband," she said to Liu Yushui.

"It’s just that..."

Liu Yushui bit her lip, looking at Lin Caisang.

"I’m just afraid the Zhou family will cause trouble. Not to mention anything else, but Sanni and Si Ni are still Zhou Liang’s children. What if he... Sangsang, you know how the Zhou family has no shame, if they actually come to take the children, whatever shall we do?"
