Chapter 6

Tao Zhi touched Cheng Xing's head and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. Mom basically knows everything. You've done very well. It's best to forget those unhappy things. There's no need to keep remembering them."

Cheng Xing nodded. The sadness passed, and she finally remembered to ask, "Mom, why are you and my little brother here?"

Tao Zhi was very happy that she had brought this up. She had originally wanted to tell Cheng Xing, "We're planning to move our whole family to the city."

Cheng Xing still had tears in his eyes, and he looked expectant when he heard this: "Really? When?"

"Silly child, when has Mom ever lied to you?"

"What about Dad's factory?"

"Cheng Jun has always wanted to buy a car, and Mom plans to satisfy him and take your dad to travel back and forth."

Cheng Xing was happy: "Then Cheng Jun must be very happy."

"Mom has reserved three plots of land today and will transfer the ownership tomorrow. I originally planned that your dad, Cheng Man, and you would each own one plot. But seeing Zhao Jun's behavior today, Mom is a little worried, so I have to ask you, what are your plans for this marriage?"

Cheng Xing was silent for a moment. She looked up with a determined light in her eyes: "Mom, can I do whatever I want?"

Tao Zhi looked her straight in the eyes: "Of course, your father and I have always been your strongest support."

"Then I want a divorce."

"Why?"

Cheng Xing almost cried again, but this time she held it back. She said, "It's okay for the Zhao family to bully me, but I can't stand them ignoring my baby. I'm also worried about living under the same roof with someone who doesn't love my baby."

"Have you thought it through?"

Cheng Xing nodded firmly.

"Besides divorce, is there anything else?"

Cheng Xing was unsure. She grabbed Tao Zhi's hand and said, "Mom, the baby is with me. Don't give it to them. Do you have any ideas?"

Tao Zhi reassured her: "Leave it to your mother."

Tao Zhi continued to ask: "Do you want to resign?"

Cheng Xing was stunned. "But I'm doing well. I'm going to be promoted to team leader next month."

"But is the dormitory you are living in now rented to you by the food factory?"

Cheng Xing said, "Yes."

Tao Zhi tapped her forehead. "Why haven't you figured it out yet? If you leave the dormitory, what will happen to Zhao Jun and his mother?"

Cheng Xingfu came to his senses: "They have to move out."

"Does the pharmaceutical factory where Zhao Jun works have dormitories assigned to them?"

Cheng Xing finally felt a little happier: "The pharmaceutical factory only provides housing subsidies. They don't build dormitories, so there are no houses to be allocated."

"So since they have nowhere to live, will their first thought be to come to you?"

Tao Zhi continued: "This is just about giving up the lease. Once you file for divorce, what do you think they will do?"

"If they can't find you right away, do you think they'll block you at the factory gate, wait for you on your way home, or wait for you in places you frequent?"

Cheng Xing shuddered.

"So what do you think about the idea of ​​resigning?"

Cheng Xing asked: "Then I won't go back?"

"Where are you going back to?"

"The dormitory."

"What are you going back for?"

"I haven't packed any of my things yet."

"Anything valuable?"

"There are Jinhe's photos, her gifts, her natal hair, bracelets, longevity locks, as well as my dowry of gold jewelry, passbooks, etc."

Tao Zhi sighed. He thought he didn't have to show up, but now he has to fight face to face.

"Okay, then I'll take care of the business tomorrow, and then I'll go back with you to negotiate with them. We'll try to reach an agreement on a divorce."

The next day, Cheng Xiangqian came to the city with two workers and a bag of cash.

Cheng Jun left his phone number and address yesterday, so Cheng Xiangqian went directly to the hotel.

The family of three went to the housing management office together, and the owner was already waiting there.

The lawyer also arrived with the contract.

They counted the cash on the spot, handed over the money and transferred the property.

Not long after, three red land certificates with Tao Zhi's name on them came into her hands.

The owner just wants the transaction to be successful. He is not that curious and does not care how many people are buying the land.

Tao Zhi didn't want to get involved, so everyone was happy with this deal.

Tao Zhi handed the documents to the old man and asked him to take them home first. She had to stay and continue looking for a house.

After buying the land, you still have to build a house, so you can only rent a house during this period.

The troops split into two groups. Cheng Xiangqian went back first, while Tao Zhi and her son went back to the hotel to rest. Only then did they find Chen Dashan waiting at the door.

Only then did Cheng Jun suddenly remember this person.

With Chen Dashan around, it’s easy to find a house.

Soon, they rented a three-story Western-style building.

In total, there are about ten rooms, and Cheng Jun was very satisfied after seeing them.

Tao Zhi signed the contract quickly and paid half a year's rent readily.

Tao Zhi asked Cheng Jun: "You said before that you wanted to buy a car. Do you still want it now?"

Cheng Jun was delighted and looked at Tao Zhi eagerly.

Tao Zhi understood immediately. She pushed Cheng Jun's face away and said, "Don't act cute. You're such a grown-up. Even your mother feels a little disgusted when she sees you."

Cheng Jun covered his wounded heart and asked, "Mom, what's your budget?"

"No more than I spent today."

Cheng Jun was overjoyed. He hadn't expected his mother to be so generous. He bowed to Tao Zhi and said, "Thank you, Mom. I'll go look at the car now." Then he ran off.

Tao Zhi shook her head. She wondered who Cheng Jun resembled with his eccentric personality.

Tao Zhi went upstairs to see her daughter and saw Cheng Xing hugging little Jin He, both of them sleeping soundly. She smiled, closed the door, and went to Cheng Jun's room to rest.

There is still a tough battle to fight, so she needs to be well-rested.

After waking up, Tao Zhi used the guest room phone to contact her sister-in-law for dinner, and Cheng Xiangmei readily agreed.

Cheng Xiangmei's family had moved to the city a long time ago. The old man's factory had grown to its current size thanks to his sister-in-law.

The food factory where Cheng Xing worked was founded by Cheng Xiangmei's husband's family and their friends, a full eight years before the old man.

By the time the old man opened his factory, the food factory had already established itself and captured a significant market share. At the time, the economy was booming, and the state-owned machinery factories were flooded with orders, seemingly unable to fulfill them. So, his brother-in-law saw the opportunity and asked the old man to retire and start his own machinery processing factory. In the early days, the factory made a killing just by relying on the orders his brother-in-law provided.

Cheng Xiangqian often joked, "Marrying a good wife means less worry in life." Cheng Xiangqian was the eldest son in the family. Since marrying into the Cheng family, Tao Zhi had taken care of her parents-in-law, her younger siblings, and finally her own children. Her mother-in-law passed away early, but her father-in-law was in good health and could help raise the grandchildren.

The burden of life fell on the couple, and the family depended on Cheng Xiangqian's meager salary. His brother-in-law and sister-in-law had to go to school, and he had to give money to their parents' family every month. This was agreed upon long before the marriage, and Cheng Xiangqian had no intention of breaking his promise.

Therefore, their life was hard. They said that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and Tao Zhi lived up to her words. Her younger brothers and sisters also knew how to be grateful. Each of them respected their eldest sister-in-law very much, especially the three younger sisters-in-law. Their relationship with Tao Zhi was better than that with Cheng Xiangqian, their eldest brother, and everyone was willing to listen to her.

It was Tao Zhi who made the final decision for Cheng Xiangmei to marry into the Li family. Cheng Xiangmei was living a good life, so she never forgot to improve her eldest brother's family.

That's why Cheng Xiangqian said, "Everything in our family is thanks to Tao Zhi."

When Cheng Xing first joined the food factory, he also took the sister-in-law route. Since Cheng Xing wanted to resign, Tao Zhi still went to Cheng Xiangmei.

When they met in the evening, Tao Zhi said this, and Cheng Xiangmei waved her hand and said, "This is just a small matter, is it worth your sister-in-law to come here in person? Just give me a call and I will do it for you."

Tao Zhi replied, "It's not just about this. Your brother and I are planning to move to the city."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiangmei was overjoyed and said, "Sister-in-law, are you serious?"

Tao Zhi told her the location of the land.

Cheng Xiangmei said coquettishly, "You've already finished your work, and you're still willing to come to me. It makes me seem like I'm completely useless."

Tao Zhi poured her a cup of tea and said, "We live in the same city now. Do you think it will bother you less in the future?"

Cheng Xiangmei feigned anger: "Sister-in-law, you sound nice when you say it, but I've never seen you speak before."

Tao Zhi comforted her: "You and your brother-in-law have already helped enough. Your brother can achieve success on his own and doesn't need to rely on relatives and friends. You should be happy for us."

Cheng Xiangmei was instantly convinced, "Then sister-in-law, when you move, you have to take me to see the house."

Tao Zhi agreed immediately.

Cheng Xing quit his job just like that.

When she returned to the hotel, Cheng Jun was waiting for her happily downstairs.

When Tao Zhi saw him, she asked, "Have you found the car?"

Cheng Jun nodded hurriedly, his teeth showing and his eyes not showing with joy.

Tao Zhi asked as they climbed the stairs, "How much?"

Cheng Jun followed behind him and said calmly, "About 180,000."

Tao Zhi turned around and asked in surprise, "So cheap?"

Cheng Jun scratched his head: "It's not a car."

"What kind of car is that?"

"Pickup truck, a man's dream."

Tao Zhi managed to hold back and didn't roll her eyes at her youngest son. "No matter if you dream or not, if I buy a car, you're responsible for picking me up and dropping me off at home."

Cheng Jun said: "I will complete the task. Mom, you don't know how beautiful that car is..."

Tao Zhi took a few quick steps, quickly entered the room, and slammed the door to keep Cheng Jun out.

It was terrifying. I had never thought it was this terrifying when I heard the devil's voice piercing my ears before. Tao Zhi felt her head buzzing as she listened to Cheng Jun's boasting all the way. They say villains die because they talk too much, and she was worried that her youngest son would die sooner or later.

Cheng Jun's joy was cut short when the door was slammed in his face. He quickly shut up and slipped back into his room, trying to be a quiet and obedient son. Otherwise, he was afraid that Ms. Tao would revoke her decision, and then his Zhengzhou Nissan D21 would be gone.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly and Cheng Jun came knocking on the door.

Tao Zhi told Cheng Xing to stay in the hotel today and take good care of Xiao Jinhe, and she didn't need to worry about anything else for the time being.

Cheng Xing agreed obediently.

Tao Zhi took Cheng Jun and rushed to the car dealership, ready to take over Cheng Jun's dream car.

Little did she know that when Tao Zhi saw the pickup truck, she blurted out, "Such an ugly car?"

Cheng Jun was unhappy: "Mom, how can you talk like that?"

Tao Zhi quickly corrected herself: "Well, this car is a little... not that good-looking."

"Isn't that the same thing?"

"Son, do you want to take another look? Mom has decided to spend a lot of money and reward you well. You don't have to save money for me."
