Chapter 307: Chapter 307 Meeting an Old Acquaintance in a Foreign Land (3)_1

"Your share of three-tenths is too small." Lin Ziyin pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, Prince gets four-tenths, you get four-tenths, and I take the remaining two-tenths."

Upon hearing this, He Fuxing and his son glanced at each other. How dare they assume equal share as the Prince? However, seeing that Lin Ziyin was persistent, they reluctantly agreed in the end.

When it came to their future livelihoods, the He family duo were determined to work hard and conduct thorough research.

In the evening, after having dinner at the Lin family’s house, the He family took a mule cart to the courtyard they were going to stay in.

There were fewer people living in this courtyard. It was mainly inhabited by Jue Yuan and some other monks who arrived later. Despite the many rooms, there was still enough room for the dozen members of the He family.

Before they arrived, someone had already lit the fire in their room, so it felt warm when they entered.

"What a big house." The children ran around frantically in the house.

"Tomorrow, send the two of them to live at the nearby private school. The teacher lives close by. You should all take care of them in the meantime." Lin Ziyin said with a smile.

"Alright, we understand." The children’s aunt replied, wiping away her tears.

"Bring the rice and flour in." Lin Ziyin instructed.

Yu Shaohui and Qiaoqiao brought in the food they had brought.

The He family saw a big bag of white flour, a bag of rice, some beans and black flour, and a full range of meat, vegetables and sweet potatoes.

"Why did you bring so much?" He Fuxing said uneasily.

"You have many mouths to feed, don’t want the children to suffer." Lin Ziyin looked at the thin, pale children and felt a pang in her heart, "Even adults should maintain their strength so they can work. The rest will be up to you."

"Ah." He Fuxing looked at his wife, children and grandchildren, and his heart ached. They had suffered so much living in the old house over the years. He knew all too well the hardship they had endured, but in order to survive, he never had the courage to take the first step.

Now that they had found comfort and fortune with his niece, he resolved that he would never let her down in the future.

"It’s getting late, we should head back." Lin Ziyin said, "After spring starts, you can buy some land here and settle down."

The He family escorted her to the mule cart and only returned to the house when they could no longer see her in the distance.

After He Fuxing relayed what Lin Ziyin had said in the afternoon, the He family shed tears of excitement, hopeful for their future.

The next morning, having stayed up all night, the He family was woken by the hustle outside before they could wake up on their own.

They rushed out of the door to the training ground and saw a number of villagers already practicing and warming up in the snow.

"Uncle." Lin Changshu and Wu Dayou came over to greet them.

"What’s happening?" He Dingfan looked around in confusion. There were men, women, the old and the young all training, even the Prince had brought his soldiers over.

"Forgot to tell you, everyone in Shili Village is required to practice martial arts." Lin Changshu answered, they could only go home to eat or go off to work after the practice.

"Can we also come here to practice?" He Dingfan asked.

"Changshu, who is this man?" Some villagers who were there for the work yesterday did not recognize the He family.

Lin Changshu introduced them to everyone, "These are my cousins, and the older one there is my uncle."

Soon, many people started calling Lin Changshu and Wu Dayou their brothers and the He family members their uncles. Seeing their enthusiasm, the He family also joined the group. Some outgoing villagers explained why they practiced martial arts.
