Duofu quickly stepped in to stop an impending brawl: "Alright, you've been on the road for days. Now that you've settled the surname issue, take a good shower and get some rest for the night."

The children naturally wouldn't object to Yu Rujia's suggestion, and the result of the arrest was that Dorje's surname was 'Feng', Duole's surname was 'Xia', and Duoyi's surname was 'Yu'.

The next day, Yu Rujia announced the surnames of her three children at home.

The names were chosen according to the Xia family's generational order, with the character "识" added to each name.

The final names were decided: Duofu became Xia Shili, Duolu became Xia Shiren, Duoshou became Xia Shiyi, Duoxi became Xia Shixin, Duoji became Feng Shiwen, Duole became Xia Shiliang, and Duoyi became Yu Shiqian.

The original name is a nickname, which is still used in daily life.

Xia Jingshu took a group of children out to change their names.

Han Meifeng came to the yard with a thick stack of notebooks to find Yu Rujia, and said proudly, "Rujia, look, this is the family property that Mom earned for you."

Yu Rujia took the book and looked through it one by one. There were fourteen property deeds in total, twelve for houses and two for shops, all with her name written on them.

Yu Rujia exclaimed in shock, "Mom, where did you get so many properties? The money I gave you wouldn't even buy half of them!"

When Xia Jia left Shangfen Brigade two years ago, Yu Rujia gave Han Meifeng a large wad of cash so she could buy a house.

But that money can only buy four or five houses on the property certificate at most, so where did the fourteen houses come from?

Han Meifeng: "The five houses were transferred to you by your grandfather. The remaining seven houses and two shops were paid for with the money you gave me and the money my work unit provided."

"Including the money given to your father, your brother's money, and some money from the eldest son's side, that's all we bought."

Yu Rujia was about to put on a show of having a stroke, saying, "I only asked you to help me buy a house, not to use other people's money on her."

Yu Rujia: "Mom, you didn't just plunder all the money in the family, did you? Let me tell you, it's one thing to plunder my brother's money, but you need to keep some of Dad's and Uncle's money, so that if you plunder too much, no one will help us in the future."

The original owner used to be particularly ruthless in exploiting the Jing generation, so Yu Rujia couldn't deviate too much from her character.

But the elders' things were never scratched; at most, the elders would just stare at them longingly until they gave the things to the elders.

Han Meifeng glared at them and said defiantly, "They wouldn't dare. You've suffered so much for this family, so what's wrong with asking them for some money? If it weren't for you, they would all be dead. You've done so much, so it's only right that you take this."

"Besides these, the things that were hidden in the house before are also yours. You can go and pick them up when you have time."

Yu Rujia was worried that she would offend people too much: "Mom, I know what you mean, but we have to be strategic when scraping things. If you scrape too hard, we won't be able to scrape them anymore."

“We need to focus on sustainable development. If everyone in the family is healthy and nothing unexpected happens, they can work hard for several more decades. Now is a time of great development. If you take all their money, where will they get the money to develop?”

“They have no money and can only earn a fixed salary of a few dozen yuan a month. How much of that is left for us? We might as well let them have their way and let them find opportunities to make big money.”

Han Meifeng didn't take it seriously: "They only care about their work, how could they have any opportunity to make big money? It would be a waste to leave them money."

Yu Rujia: "How could it be a waste of time, Mom? Let me tell you, ever since free trade was allowed, Huang Guihua from Shangfen Brigade has been doing some business and can earn several hundred yuan a month."

"If a small town can earn so much, we are in a big city. As long as we work hard, earning over a thousand a month is not a problem. Then we can use the money we earn to earn even more. In the future, earning over ten thousand a month will be a simple matter."

"Both my maternal grandfather's family and our family used to be businessmen. You know how much more they could earn in a month than the average person. Do you think it's better to earn tens of yuan a month or hundreds or thousands of yuan?"

The Han family had already moved to Hong Kong before the Xia family's incident, so they were not as affected as the Xia family.

At this point, Han Meifeng finally understood: "You mean, I took away their capital for doing business?"

If that's the case, they've missed out on a lot of money. Han Meifeng felt she was being too hasty, always thinking that Ru Jia had suffered a great loss and that she had to get it back from the Xia family. She didn't expect that she would miss out on even more because of this.

Yu Rujia: What do you think?

Han Meifeng: "I asked your father and brother to give me the money, but the money from the eldest son's side was given to them by themselves. I didn't ask them for it."

Xia Taiping and others knew that she was buying a house for Yu Rujia, and they gave her a portion of the subsidy after receiving it.

Yu Rujia: "What's done is done. For now, don't give money to my dad, brother, or uncle. At least not for the next few years."

"Unless they bring it to us, don't take it. Don't lose more than you gain."

A few years later, with Xia Jingshu's abilities, she will definitely have plenty of money to spend.

Seeing that she had endless money, Han Meifeng stopped thinking about swindling money from her family.

Han Meifeng: "I understand. The money we have now is like a hen; we need to save it for them to lay eggs. We can collect the eggs in a few years."

I've finally convinced her; I don't have to worry about her angering someone one day.

No matter how great the kindness, it cannot withstand daily exploitation.

Let's save this favor for when we really need it later.

After Xia Jingshu returned with his new name, he led a group of boys from his household to cause a ruckus in the open space in the yard.

The first choice was to plant the various fruit trees they brought back from Shangfen Brigade.

Xia Jingxing, who had nothing to do, was forced to do hard labor. When he saw lychees, which should grow in the south, appearing here, he became suspicious.

Xia Jingxing: "Fourth Brother, the weather in the capital is cold, not as warm as in Shangfen Brigade. The lychee trees won't survive, will they? And these fruit trees can't be planted here either."

Xia Jingshu: "If you put more effort into taking care of it, it can survive."

Duolu boasted, "There's nothing our family can't grow."

Their crops always grow more vigorously than others. For example, their lychee trees are much larger, with each tree bearing hundreds of kilograms of fruit, more than they can eat.

Erdan's family's lychee tree can only yield a dozen or so kilograms of fruit, and at best, only a few dozen kilograms, which isn't even enough to eat.

Xia Jingxing: "The climate in Shangfen Brigade is good, and anything can grow. It's not like this here. It even snowed a few days ago. You guys are lucky that it hasn't snowed in the two days since you came back. But it will definitely snow in a few days."

He also liked to eat the fruit in the Yu family's backyard; if it were possible to grow, he would have done so long ago.

Who wouldn't want a garden full of fruit to eat whenever they want?
