Chapter 31 Complete Separation of the Family

Jinran got up early for school the next day. When Shen Yanhong saw Jinran's fair and rosy skin, she said sourly, "Looks like Jinran is also looking forward to separating from the family. Did you sleep well last night? Did you wake up happy?"

Jinran was confused. "???" She must be suffering from some serious illness!

"Are you brain-straight? Your mouth smells like poop." After saying that, Jinran turned and left.

Her face, still flushed with a deep, vibrant red, remained.

I'll spoil you!

When Jinran returned home that evening, she was still thinking that she must take a good look at how families were divided in this era.

But to my surprise, the distribution was already completed smoothly.

All that's left is for everyone to eat the family division meal together.

Alright then!

Jinran asked her mother in a low voice, "Mom, I don't know how this family was divided! Why didn't they wait for me to come back? I didn't feel involved at all."

Wang Cuifen glanced at Jinran and said dismissively, "What can you do? A little kid like you can't even get into the house. The village chief and the others will be eating at home later. I'll pack it up for you. Just stay inside and don't come out."

Her mother was looking down on her, and she was unhappy. It wasn't until Wang Cuifen secretly gave her several pieces of meat that Jinran smiled and took her bowl back to her room.

That evening, after everyone had left, Jinran curiously went to find her father, who was silently leaning against the toilet, watching the sunset.

Jinran's father is always a unique individual.

"Dad, isn't it boring to be contemplating life like this?"

Mr. Shen said worriedly, "My legs just went numb from squatting. Take a break. Do you need to use the restroom? Wait a bit! It smells terrible."

Jinran thought, "This is truly unexpected."

"Dad, tell me about our family's division of property?"

"It's nothing much. Your grandfather approved a house site for us all in the village before. It's not the busy farming season now, so we can find some people, spend some money, and build the house together. Then we can move in."

"So where is our home in the base?"

"Sigh... I guess I had bad luck. There were three locations in total, two near our house and one at the foot of the mountain. Your uncles and I drew lots, and our new house is at the foot of the mountain. But daughter, don't get upset. This has its advantages. It's a big place, and there aren't many other houses there. We can expand outwards, and it will be more spacious."

Jinran: "............." What happened to the real relative of the Heavenly Dao Father?

But then I thought, what if there aren't many people around? That would be a real opportunity.

Shen's father said again, "Daughter, your mother and I are really worried about you. Your mother and I both have to go to work and can only come back during our days off. What are we going to do? We don't even know if you can transfer schools."

Jinran refused, saying directly, "I want to stay at home. I'm not going to the county with you. I can go when I go to high school. It's no big deal. When I'm at home, I can earn some work points. It's a win-win situation."

Father Shen continued with his worry, "Let me discuss it with Mother."

Jinran was determined not to go with them. Once they went to the county, she would have no freedom at all. She still had her spatial ability and, oh right, her Doujin.

She's a mother too; she can't just give up all that money.

Wang Cuifen was also worried and said uncertainly, "How about I go a few years later? I'm worried about leaving the child at home alone!"

Father Shen also sighed.

"Father, Mother, are you asleep?" Jinran knocked on the door and asked.

"Come in, you're not asleep yet."

Upon entering the house, Jinran immediately sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), cross-legged solemnly, perfectly embodying the image of a rural old woman.

Wang Cuifen asked with amusement, "What are you doing, making such a strange face?"

Jinran chuckled, "Mom, Dad told me today that you were worried about me staying home alone, but I'm really fine, you see..."

Then Jinran stretched out her hand, holding a stone. With a forceful movement, the stone shattered.

Father Shen, Wang Cuifen

Wang Cuifen immediately retorted angrily, "You brat, you broke this stone and got it all over the bed. Are you trying to drive me crazy?"

Jinran, feeling a little guilty, lay down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), scattering the crumbs on the ground. She smiled apologetically, "Mother, don't be angry. I just wanted you to know that I'm strong. Now you can rest assured, I can live a good life on my own."

Wang Cuifen was still hesitant, but her father said, "Alright, the house hasn't been built yet. If you insist on staying here, then we'll have to build the fence higher for safety."
