I will arrange for someone to clean the old house.

"good!"

Pan Cuilian nodded.

Most of the houses over by Old Wu's are dilapidated.

If it is not renovated, it will be uninhabitable.

Dad, go and cut some bamboo and some wood, and we'll do some simple repairs on the house.

I will go to the village chief and ask for help.

That way we can get it done before sunset today.

"good!

I'll go cut bamboo on the back hill right now.

Yu Dazhu nodded, and then went out to get busy.

There is a dense bamboo forest behind their mountain, and the bamboo is growing very well.

"Mother, I'm going to the village chief's house now. Please keep this contract safe and lock it up."

"We can't lose this."

Yu Chengyuan handed the contract to his mother.

"Okay, I'll definitely keep it safe."

Pan Cuilian nodded repeatedly; she knew this thing was very important.

"Then I'm leaving, brother. You should get some rest!"

Mother, if Grandma Wang or Uncle San gives you any more instructions, just ignore them and say you're busy taking care of my brother.

You mustn't be soft-hearted.

Yu Chengyuan reiterated.

"Okay, Mother understands!"

Go ahead and get busy!

"Mother isn't stupid."

Pan Cuilian said with a smile.

She is no longer the weak and timid Pan Cuilian she once was.

Yu Chengyuan nodded, then took two packets of white sugar and two bottles of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) and left.

He had prepared these in advance.

The second house

"Erzhu, look! Your nephew has gone out."

He was also carrying two bottles of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) and two packets of white sugar!

Yang Juhua poked her husband's arm with her finger.

"What's so interesting? We've split up now, what they do is none of our business."

Don't meddle in other people's business!

Don't follow your third sister-in-law around like a shadow anymore.

Yu Erzhu said impatiently.

Yu Erzhu's mind wasn't on this. He and his wife had just been kicked out by his mother, leaving only his third son and his wife inside. He felt terrible about it.

Yang Juhua could tell from her husband's unhappy tone that he was upset, and she knew why.

So he sneered, "Are you still unhappy that your mother kicked you out as the second son and left the third son behind?"

You know perfectly well that your mother prefers your third son.

What's there to be unhappy about? I don't even want to stay in her room!

It smells like an old person, it stinks!

"Shut up!"

Yu Erzhu roared, clearly angry.

Although his wife was telling the truth, he didn't want to hear others talking about her mother.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."

If you're so angry, go take it out on your mother!

I'm just stating the facts!

Yang Juhua was so angry that she slammed the door and left.
