Transmigration: The Farm Life of a “Fool”

Chapter 50



Guoguo sent paper and a brush to Xu Ran, “Dad, here you are.”

Xu Ran took them, stroked Guoguo’s head, and then asked Liu Tong to bring a stool to him, after which Xu Ran put the paper on the stool and then wrote the content quickly.

Xu Ran just finished writing when Tangtang arrived with the village head.

The village head frowned when he saw the people at the door of Xu Ran’s bamboo house. He really couldn’t understand Xu Houcai. Why did he always make trouble like this at such an old age? How could he be so unreasonable? In addition, his spouse was also a shameless person.

“What’s going on? Xu Houcai, you should remember that when you split your family, you’ve made a decision that no matter what, Xu Ran has nothing to do with you. So, what are you doing now? Do you look like a dad as an elder? Aren’t you trying to be a bad role model for the children? ” criticized the village head.

Xu Houcai was rendered speechless. It was true that they did make that decision, but the problem was that they just did it casually then. However, they didn’t expect that Xu Ran would take it seriously.

“Well, village head, you can’t think that way. Anyway, we are Xu Ran’s dad and daddy. Isn’t he supposed to respect us?” Elder Daddy Xu said. He still wanted to change the situation.

The village head disdained to pay attention to him, but directly asked Xu Ran, “Xu Ran, what’s the matter with Tangtang calling me here?”

Xu Ran moved the stool to him and said, “Village head, please sit down.”

After the village head was seated, Xu Ran said, “Village head, this is the case. Didn’t we agree that we had nothing to do with my dad and daddy in the future when we were separated in any case? Well, now I think there is no proof of it. We’d better make a relative written statement given as evidence. Look, village head, here is the statement I wrote. ”

The village head took the paper handed over by Xu Ran. He recognized all the words on it. After reading it, he thought it was okay, so he said, “That’s OK. Just sign the paper! All the people present will be witnesses with me. ”

“Fine.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to you, village head.”

Under the watchful gaze of so many people around, the members of the Xu Family dared not to act rashly. The village head read out the paper in public. After listening, people present said nothing.

Xu Ran’s document stated that in the future, whether he was alive or dead, he would have nothing to do with Xu Houcai’s family. Normally, the two families would try not to contact with each other, but when Xu Hucai and Elder Daddy Xu passed away, Xu Ran would attend their funerals. However, Xu Cheng should take care of them both in their daily lives.

Undoubtedly, Xu Ran’s statement was quite reasonable.

Elder Daddy Xu wanted to argue, but he was stopped by Xu Cheng, because he was afraid that Xu Ran would mention the case that he was fooled by his conspiracy. If this matter was exposed, he would have to go to prison. This was a big deal.

Xu Ran copied the document in triplicate instead of being mimeographed. Afterwards, Xu Ran directly bit his finger and pressed it on all the papers with blood. Then he handed the papers to the village head with a smile. The village head took them and then handed them to Xu Houcai.

Only when he saw the red blood on the papers did Xu Houcai feel a little shocked. However, with so many people around looking at it, he didn’t dare to disobey. All he could do was to learn from Xu Ran by biting his own finger. After pressing both hand seals, the village head kept a copy himself and let Xu Ran and Xu Houcai take one copy for each. Thus, the relationship between the two families was completely separated

After watching the good play, people began to disperse slowly, and the Xu Family had to leave angrily. Only when Zhang Yue left, his eyesight to Xu Ran seemed to convey some other meaning.

After all the outsiders left, Xu Ran invited the village head into the house and asked Liu Tong to serve water and edible seeds, while he took out one ear of corn he bought in the town today.

The village head had never seen this kind of thing before. He felt surprised and looked at it for a long time, “Ran, what is it?”

“Village head, this thing comes from the south. I saw it when I went to buy seeds today. The master said that it was called maize, also called corn, and it is a super-high yield crop. It can be used not only for people as food, but also for livestock as feed. It can be more cost-effective than wheat and so on. That master’ shop had not many seeds, so I bought them back to have a try in planting in my land. Anyway, mine is wasteland. I can’t get much from planting anything. Do you want to plant some, village head? ”

The village head looked at the corn in his hand and felt hesitant. Although Xu Ran said that it was good, no one had ever planted it and he was not sure what the situation would be.

From the village head’s appearance, Xu Ran knew that he didn’t want to take his suggestion. However, he still needed to find someone to try planting corn with him, so he advised, “Village head, you don’t need to plant too much of it, actually. You can just buy a mu of wasteland to open up. Then you can plant it and see how its harvest is.”

Hearing Xu Ran’s words, the village head was moved. He knew that if the experiment was successful, it would be really a good thing. In the future, they would not be afraid of starvation. So he nodded, “OK, I’ll buy a mu of wasteland as you said, but I don’t know how to plant it. You should guide me then.”

Xu Ran nodded, “No problem. Village head, you can come directly for the seedling once you are ready.”

Everything settled, the village head went back home smilingly with his hands on his back.
