Chapter 201 Going Ashore

"Thank you, young lady, thank you! Thank you all..." The middle-aged man, though he couldn't see very clearly in the water, knew that the young lady had changed his daughter's clothes, dried her off, and given her water.

Seeing that his two daughters were doing well, he felt relieved.

Once ashore, the Lu brothers were somewhat lost, unsure of which way to go in this desolate wilderness.

"Little sister, which way do we go?"

"Wait a minute, let me hide the boat first and find a place to rest. We'll look for a place tomorrow. At this time, the household registration here is just a matter of having a head of household and land. Of course, paying money is essential. I'm ready. Let's find out where we are and then see if that place is still there." When He Caiwei was still Qu Weiwei, her whole family bought household registration in Gangcheng.

I wonder if the house where she registered her household registration is still there? God help her, I hope she doesn't run into her scumbag father or Qu Qingqing.

The middle-aged man and his family next to them immediately lit up when they heard that they could get their household registration done here.

He didn't speak directly, nor was he too embarrassed to speak; he seemed to want to say something but held back.

"Uncle, why are you still here?" After He Caiwei moved their boat behind a rocky outcrop, she put the boat back into her personal space and came out to see the uncle who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

"Young lady, from what you just said, is it possible to get a household registration?" The uncle thought that no matter whether it was possible or not, he had to try for the sake of his family.

"It's relatively easy to get a household registration here now. As long as there's a local household registration holder willing to accept you, and you give them a little more money, that should be enough. Uncle, do you have any relatives here? If you find relatives to accept you, and give them some money, you should be able to register your household here." He Caiwei didn't know if the original book made it too simple, or if it was really that simple, but that's how it was written in the book.

This is why she was confident in sending her second brother here and ensuring he would have a place to stay as soon as he arrived.

She can still recite the address written in the original book. She wrote it down when she was organizing the plot, just in case she forgot it over time.

The old man was willing to pay a high price for a local household registration mainly because he owned a house here. He also thought that if the war in Pingcheng lasted too long, he would have a way out.

Of course, in the original book, both the mother and daughter died, and it was impossible for them to come here. It was because the father left at that time, and this place turned to go abroad.

He carried most of his family fortune with him, so he didn't care about the few houses here and left them abandoned. Some of the houses were only sold because the houses in the port city were easier to sell later. It was only when these houses were to be demolished that she remembered them and came to claim them.

At that time, the houses here were already dilapidated and overgrown with weeds. If it weren't for the fact that there were still property owners, the place would have been occupied long ago.

I just don't know if Qu Qingqing went looking for that house after she came here a few years ago.

He Caiwei's household registration book, which belonged to Qu Weiwei back then, is now in her space. It also contains her father's household registration, as well as that of his first wife and her entire family.

This is handwritten, one page for each family member. This is their family register. On it is the old man, Zhang Sumei, and his three children, one page. The second concubine and her son are on another page.

Qu Weiwei and He Youyou share one piece of paper. The fourth and fifth concubines have no children because the fifth concubine wasn't there when they bought the house here. So the other piece of paper belongs to the fourth concubine.

Each household registration booklet has a stamp at the bottom. The stamp on their household registration booklet is in Mingzhu District, which is located on the outer edge of the city center.

The houses were a row of four two-story buildings. After the old man bought these four houses, he also bought the land in front of them and had it fenced off to create a large courtyard.

This place covers a total of about three acres.

You know, this land will be worth a lot of money in a few decades.

“Girl, we have no relatives here. Let me put it this way, we are landlords over there. We had already donated all our land, but those people still come to our house to do odd jobs from time to time. They take away anything of value, but they are still not satisfied and keep coming to our house to cause trouble.”

"We simply couldn't stay in that place any longer, so we thought of coming here to see if we could find a way out. If you can't help us get registered, please name your price. As long as I can afford it, I won't hesitate." The middle-aged man knew that getting registered here wouldn't be easy. Not only did they have no relatives here, but all they had were large yellow croakers, and they didn't even know how to exchange them for money. Even if they did find a way, they didn't know how long it would take.

He is capable and not afraid of hardship. Zhang wants to settle down quickly so that his family can take good care of themselves. Even if it means giving away all his wealth, he is willing to do any hard labor as long as he can settle down.

"Uncle, this is my first time here too. I'm not familiar with this place and I don't have the ability to help others. Let's just stay here and wish each other well. If we meet again in the future and I can help you, I won't hesitate to do so." He Caiwei knew that many people who came here didn't have local residency permits and were doing manual labor. If they encountered a heartless boss, they could only pray for good luck.

But she wasn't a savior; we were just walking a part of the journey together. After we parted, who would know who was who?

Of course, if their fates are destined to bring them together, she will still lend a hand within her power.

They landed in a relatively remote area, and in such a remote place, the old man certainly wouldn't buy a house here.

Moreover, with so many districts in the entire port city, he needed to find out which district he was in before he could determine his direction.

"Yes, thank you again, young lady, thank you!" The middle-aged man thanked her but did not leave.

Firstly, he didn't know where he was, and which way to go to avoid the police. Secondly, he genuinely didn't know where to find shelter.

While they were talking, her older brother returned after surveying the surrounding area, followed by a little tail – the middle-aged man's eldest son.

The child seemed quite clever; knowing that Lu Qingfeng was going to find a place to rest, he told his mother and went with him.

“There’s a small path leading from here, about a 20-minute walk. There’s a dilapidated temple there right now, and it’s deserted, so it can provide shelter from the wind and rain. It’s a rather small place, and the trees around it are quite tall. If you’re not looking carefully, you might not be able to find it. We can rest there for a bit and continue our journey when it’s light.” Lu Qingfeng didn’t really want to make his wife feel uncomfortable, but it was his first time here, so he could only make do for the time being.

"Okay, let's go there then. We'll find out what this place is when it gets light, and then we'll talk about it tomorrow." He Caiwei made the decision, deciding to stay for the night and talk about it tomorrow.

The uncle and his family came along too, and they saw that the place was indeed quite small. But it was still manageable to squeeze all of them in.
