Every family in the village received a notice that they had to go to the village committee center to sign a land contract. After they signed the contract, they would get their rent immediately. Many villagers were happy when they received this news.
"Yu 'Er, you should have your father and fourth uncle accompany you to the country town to get the money!" Mother Xiao advised. Xiao Lingyu was going to withdraw a large amount of money. Mother Xiao would be more at ease if her daughter didn't go alone.
Xiao Lingyu nodded. "Okay." She was also worried about being targeted when she had so much money. But with her father and fourth uncle around, she'd be protected.
Father Xiao rejected a few job offers to clear some time for Xiao Lingyu. Xiao Mingyang also skipped work for the day.
Xiao Lingyu rode on her father's motorcycle, and Xiao Mingyang rode on his bike as they traveled to Xing An town. They parked before an acquaintance's shop and took a bus to the county town.
