Chapter 092

Whether you can take back the property rights of a courtyard house depends on the policy.

After the Chinese New Year, the private housing policy was implemented, and it is almost time to reach Tianxian Temple.

Only once the property rights are obtained can the next steps be carried out.

So there is nothing else to do in early summer and I need to wait patiently for a few more days.

After sitting at the table for a while, Chuxia put the pen back into the pen holder, closed the notebook and put it away, then went to get the clothes she had changed at home last night and went to the yard to wash clothes.

While washing clothes, she took the radio and placed it next to the stone trough, and tuned to a program.

While washing clothes while listening to the radio, Su Yun also came out of the east room with a basin of dirty clothes, stood by the stone trough and turned on the faucet.

It wasn't an occasion where greeting was necessary, so Chu Xia naturally pretended not to see her.

The two of them stood face to face washing clothes. In the yard there were the sounds of clothes being scrubbed, running water, and music from the radio, but it seemed exceptionally quiet.

After washing the last piece of clothes, Chuxia collects clean water and prepares the soap solution.

After filling a half basin with water and turning off the tap, I suddenly heard Su Yun say from the other side: "Seeing Han Ting and I living like this after getting married, you should be very happy, right?"

Chu Xia: “…”

Chuxia ignored her.

Su Yun continued while washing clothes: "If I had known that marriage would be like this, I would never have snatched Han Ting from you. Tell me, isn't it funny? I actually went to so much trouble to snatch a fire pit from you."

Chu Xia: “…”

If you look at it from the perspective of the original novel.

This fire pit was indeed originally hers, but now it has become Su Yun's in advance.

Chu Xia really didn't know that Su Yun had put a lot of effort into catching Han Ting.

But if you think about it, it is understandable. Considering Su Yun's personality, it is impossible that she went to such great lengths to hold on to Han Ting just because she loves Han Ting so much.

Ultimately, all the choices she made were in her favor.

When she was in the countryside, she captured Han Ting, but in fact she captured Han Ting, Chaozi and Guogai, three strong laborers. In the countryside, people rely entirely on strength for food and drink.

With Han Ting, Chaozi and Guogai around, she can live a very comfortable life without having to worry about food and drink.

She chose to get married when she returned to the city simply because it was her best option.

She had no job and her family's living conditions were not good, but Han Ting had always loved and protected her. After weighing the pros and cons, she must have felt that her life would be better if she married Han Ting.

As long as this man continues to love her, pamper her and give her support, she can still be the same as before.

Unexpectedly, the reality was different from what she imagined. After marriage, her mother-in-law made things difficult for her and excluded her at every turn. Han Ting no longer protected and spoiled her like before, but instead asked her to be a good daughter-in-law.

Han Ting's personality is just like this.

He has always been particularly willing to be generous and righteous to outsiders, and is even willing to treat outsiders' affairs as his own. He likes to hear others gratefully call him Brother Ting and give him enough face.

On the contrary, he doesn't care too much about the people close to him.

And the closer the relationship is, the more they become his family, the more he will feel that he can sacrifice at will and as a matter of course, and that his relatives should support him unconditionally, not let him lose face, and not make things difficult for him.

That was the case when he treated Chuxia as his sister.

Now that Su Yun has become his biological wife, it has become natural for things to become like this.

As for Su Yun, in the original book, she returned to the city early because of a recruitment quota.

After returning to the city, she had a proper job. Later, when Han Ting returned to the city, she continued to live a carefree and dissolute life like she does now. Even though she still loved Han Ting very much in her heart, she did not marry him.

Chu Xia continued to rinse her clothes, looked at Su Yun and smiled, "Since you said so, then I thank you. Thank you for taking all the trouble to take away all my bad luck."

Su Yun: “…”

She looked at Chuxia and choked in her heart.

Some chaotic images flashed through her mind, and she began to get confused again - was it that she had robbed her of all her bad luck, or that she had robbed her of everything that was supposed to belong to her in life?

***

After washing and hanging up the clothes in early summer, I went back to the house.

After that, except for eating and going to the toilet, she did not leave the room again. It was not until the evening when it was almost time for everyone to get off work that she got up and went to the kitchen to cook.

She went to the kitchen to cook, and Su Yun was also called by Wang Cuiying to the kitchen to cook.

Wang Cuiying stared at Su Yun cooking while grumbling in dissatisfaction: "What are these things you made? You are such a loser, you can't do anything, it's just that our San Er was blind and bewitched you and married you, whoever marries you will be unlucky!"

Su Yun was not the type to scream or quarrel. She said calmly without any emotion, "Your family is doomed to suffer this fate. No matter how satisfied or pleased you are with someone else, you will never be able to marry her in this lifetime. With your family being what it is, no one would even look down on you."

Wang Cuiying's voice suddenly became sharp, "What kind of family is my family? If our San'er hadn't been confused for a moment, you wouldn't have been our daughter-in-law! You know how many tricks you used to marry our San'er! Now San'er has also seen what kind of person you are!"

Su Yun smiled, "So what if you figured it out? So what if you regret it? It's in my hands."

Wang Cuiying gritted her teeth in anger and could not help stamping her feet. After a long while, she angrily said, "Just wait!"

***

Chuxia finished cooking, and Wu Xuemei and Tang Haikuan also got off work one after another.

After get off work, Tang Haikuan went through the second gate and crossed the yard. Chuxia came out of the kitchen and saw him. She stood under the corridor and greeted him. When he responded, she looked at him in a daze.

Because when he came home from get off work today, he was different from before.

His clothes looked dirty, covered with either dirt or dust, and looked like they had been dusted but not cleaned.

He looked very tired, and his whole face was red and black, as if he had been in the sun for a whole day.

He washed his hands and face in the yard, then went into the house and sat down to eat.

Chu Xia stared at him for a long time while eating, then asked him, "Dad, what did you do today?"

Tang Haikuan smiled and said, "A job that makes money."

Chuxia looked at Wu Xuemei again, and Wu Xuemei lowered her head and drank the porridge from the bowl.

Chu Xia was silent for a while, then looked at Tang Haikuan and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Tang Haikuan said: "You don't need to worry about adults' affairs, just focus on studying your own studies."

Chuxia put down her chopsticks and was silent for a moment.

Then she took a deep breath and said, "Don't you consider me a family member, or do you think I'm still a three-year-old child and I don't deserve to know or care about your affairs?"

Tang Haikuan and Wu Xuemei were both stunned by what she said.

Wu Xuemei then said, "Of course not, I just don't want to affect your studies."

Chu Xia said: "I'm on summer vacation now, it won't have any impact."

Tang Haikuan and Wu Xuemei looked at each other but said nothing.

Chu Xia had no choice but to ask again: "Do you want me to go to the east and west rooms to ask someone, or do you want me to go to my father's factory to ask someone?"

It wasn't something that had to be kept secret, they just didn't want to talk about it.

Since Chu Xia said so now, Wu Xuemei opened her mouth and told the truth: "Your father was fired from the factory not long ago. He couldn't find a proper job, so he found a temporary job on a construction site."

Chu Xia frowned when she heard this, "Expelled? Why?"

Wu Xuemei simply said, "I couldn't control my temper and got into a fight with someone."

That person had a grudge against Tang Haikuan. Relying on the fact that he was a relative of the factory director and the head of the security department, he would always try to make trouble for Tang Haikuan.

Tang Haikuan didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he just endured it.

I don’t know what happened that day, I lost my temper.

Both of them fought, but the head of the security department determined that the main responsibility lay with Tang Haikuan, and the final result was that Tang Haikuan was fired.

Chu Xia continued to ask: "Why did you do it?"

She did a quick search in her mind, but found that nothing like this happened in the original book, nor was there any plot or details related to this incident.

However, it can match a plot node.

In the book, she and Han Ting couldn't find a job after returning to the city, so they just stayed at home. It was around this time that Tang Haikuan gave up his job to her and found other rough work to do.

In the book, she wanted to give the job to Han Ting, but Han Ting refused.

As for the rest, there is none.

Because Chuxia herself is not worried about unemployment now, and does not need Tang Haikuan to take over her job, she has never thought that such a thing would happen.

No wonder there was that purple mark above his fist bone.

He said he fell off his bicycle, but it turned out to be a fight.

Tang Haikuan said, "It's all in the past, let's not talk about it. It's my father's fault. But Xia Xia, don't worry. I'm doing pretty well as a temporary worker now. I get one dollar a day, plus two cents for food allowance, which adds up to more than thirty dollars a month. The regular workers on the construction site are also very polite, and no one looks down on us temporary workers."

But the work on this construction site is hard and tiring.

Chu Xia said, "Dad, our family doesn't need this little money right now, so don't do this. Just take a rest at home, and I'll find something for you to do in the future."

She had originally been thinking that once she got the ownership of the house, she would be the first person to open a restaurant at home, and then she would know how to persuade Tang Haikuan to give up his job.

In this era, basically no one is willing to give up their stable job to do these unreliable things, and it would be very difficult to persuade them.

Now that it's like this, it's easier to persuade.

Tang Haikuan replied, "You are still in school, what can you find for me to do? I am doing a really good job. It is tiring, but I feel at ease."

Chu Xia thought about it, and said seriously, "When the property rights of our house return to us, the restaurant in front will be ours. Can't we just open the restaurant?"

When Tang Haikuan heard this, he suddenly laughed, just making fun of Chuxia as a child.

He smiled and said, "I believe the government wants to return the property rights of houses. I know this policy has been implemented, but you are joking when you say you want to open a restaurant."

Chu Xia said, "Dad, I'm serious. At the beginning of this year, the state issued an instruction to approve some idle laborers with formal household registration to engage in self-employment."

Tang Haikuan still smiled and said, "Your father grew up in the imperial city after all. How could he not know what's going on in the country? I'm talking about repairs, services, and handicrafts."

He shook his head and said, "Not in restaurants, they have to be state-owned."

Chu Xia took a deep breath and said, "Won't we know if it works when we try it?"

Tang Haikuan didn't want to argue with Chu Xia about this imaginary matter, so he just said, "Let's talk about it when the time comes. My current temporary job is just a transition, there's nothing wrong with that."

Chu Xia: "I just don't want you to be too tired."

Then he thought for a moment and said, "If you really can't stay idle, why don't we find a way to find a source of goods and set up a stall on the street."

Tang Haikuan immediately shook his head after hearing this, "Buying and selling, this is serious speculation."

Although there is no criticism of parades now, speculation and profiteering are still deeply engraved in everyone's mind.

Chu Xia said: "Trust me, there are policies in place, everything will be fine."

Tang Haikuan: "Xia Xia, don't worry about it. I haven't seen anyone reselling things privately on this street. If they are caught by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, won't they be fined? Besides, even if they are not fined, it will be embarrassing, right? If you run into acquaintances, you won't have anywhere to hide your face. My old face doesn't matter, but I can't embarrass you. After all, your mother is a salesperson in a grocery store, and you are a top student at Peking University."

Chuxia looked at Tang Haikuan, pursed her lips and exhaled.

Tang Haikuan reached out and picked up her chopsticks, stuffed them into her hand, and said, "Eat, eat. Xia Xia, just focus on your own business and study hard. You don't have to worry about these things."
