"Then why did my auntâs grain relationship get transferred to our village?" Gu Lingling asked curiously.
She didnât expect that her father and little aunt would have such formidable capabilities. This is not just one commune, but two communes from which the household registration has been transferred.
Why does she feel a bit dizzy hearing this?
"If we let your aunt stay with that family any longer, who knows how theyâd swallow her whole," Gu Chunmei said unceremoniously.
Old Mrs. Zhao naturally wasnât willing to divide the family.
She actually knew that the reason the Zhao Family had been living well these past few years was all thanks to Zhao JianShe and Gu Chunxia working day and night for work points, and Zhao JianSheâs skilled carpentry work.
And yet her second son Zhao Jianfeng was a good-for-nothing, with a lazy, food-loving daughter-in-law. Without the bossâs family, their good days would be over.
It would be a lie to say Old Mrs. Zhao didnât regret it.
But who could blame Gu Chunxia for stealing those twenty yuan from her? That was twenty yuan, not just two dimes.
So the whole family started crying and making a fuss, insisting they wouldnât split the family.
"Fine, I donât want those twenty yuan anymore, will that work?" In the end, Old Mrs. Zhao still believed that the twenty yuan was taken by Gu Chunxia, which infuriated Gu Chunxia. "This family must split; if it doesnât, Iâll get a divorce."
The last sentence was directed at Zhao JianShe.
"Iâll say it again, I didnât steal your money," Gu Chunxia said sarcastically, looking at Zhao Jianfeng and Hu Cuilan. "If I really cared about that twenty yuan, over these years we wouldnât have handed over every single bit of the money we earned."
Itâs true for the two of them.
Unlike Hu Cuilan, who is always scheming to keep money all to herself.
Old Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Jianfengâs couple still wanted to argue, but Gu Chunhai couldnât stand it any longer. "Letâs split the family and transfer the grain relationship while weâre at it."
"Did you know? Before coming here, your father had already anticipated this, so in the past few days he was out early and back late just to get your auntâs household grain relationship transferred," Gu Chunmei said, admiring her second brother.
He quietly accomplished such a significant task.
Not only did they split the family, but under the witnesses of the chief and the village chief, they also divided the grain and some daily necessities. After that, Zhao JianSheâs familyâs registration was officially moved to Nanshui Village.
Arrangements for the house have also been made with the village. Itâs the straw house beside the ruined temple, which will be fixed up when the weather gets warmer.
For now, theyâre temporarily staying with the Gu Family.
Although for Zhao JianShe, it felt a bit like being a lodger, as long as his two children and wife were doing well, he didnât mind being talked about.
Since they were newcomers, the couple was also worried about whether Gu Chunhai and Gu Tongzhou could get along well in the village. When spring came and the ground thawed, they volunteered for all the heavy and difficult labor without complaint.
Moreover, with Zhao JianShe being skilled in carpentry, he was always cheerful and willing to help anyone in need.
Gradually, the initially disgruntled villagers happily embraced this family.
When March arrived and the spring flowers bloomed, Zhao JianShe took the opportunity to fix up the house after getting off work. This house was bought from the village, and the couple worked on it every day after work. It wasnât long before the house was livable.
When they moved into their new home, the family hugged and cried together.
After suffering for so many years, they finally had a home of their own.
Of course, thatâs a story for another day.
After the New Year, the factory recruitment exam for the transformer factory was about to begin.
