"Well, it's like this. I think Dad hasn't needed to go to the hospital much these past few years. Either we move out of this house, or we rent a courtyard in the south."

Zeng Qiang: "Rent a courtyard?"

Yang Xia: "Change out?"

Li Wenlian: "Where are we going?"

Zeng Geng's face darkened immediately. "Where can we go? You make it sound so easy. Where are we going to rent a courtyard? Changing houses? How are we going to change houses? Who are we going to give them to? You're always daydreaming. I'm rarely home, and when I do come back, you make such a fuss. If you don't like this house, then you should..."

After holding it in for a long time, Zeng Geng finally uttered three words in a low voice, "Get out of here!"

Xu Keke isn't the original owner of this body. As long as she doesn't achieve her goal, she'll refuse to do whatever others ask her to do.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Zeng Qiang and Xiaoxia are both this age, it's time for them to have children. We don't need to wait until they have children, we can wait until she gets pregnant. So, who will climb this bunk bed, you or her?"

Yang Xia whispered, "I... I've discussed it with Qiangzi. If it doesn't work out, he can stay at home, and I'll go back to my mom's house."

Xu Keke glanced at her and said, "Your mother's house? If you could live at your mother's house, would you two still need to get married here? Just give up already. Your three sisters-in-law would eat you alive. You're pregnant, and they still want you two to live separately."

"Dad, please let me finish what I have to say before you get angry. Getting angry all the time isn't good for your health."

Xu Keke wasn't good at comforting people. After she said that, she felt the old man got even angrier. Zeng Geng puffed out his cheeks, glared at her, and refused to look at her in anger.

Zeng Qiang, however, asked from the side, "Then what good ideas do you have?"

"You don't even call me 'sister,' yet you expect me to do anything. You have no right to ask for anything." Xu Keke retorted directly.

“You…” Zeng Qiang looked around anxiously, but couldn’t find a single ally. None of the three people had any intention of helping him.

Xu Keke rolled her eyes at him and ignored him. "There are a few options."

This is thanks to the worlds Xu Keke previously in. If it were up to the original owner's stubbornness, there would probably be no way to resolve the issue except through self-torture.

Of course, more importantly, the things she encountered were different. She had met different people in her previous world, so her understanding was more comprehensive. The original owner, however, had always worked in a factory, and her information was relatively limited.

Just like now, we're only a few years away from the start of reform and opening up. In some areas that weren't covered by policy, things are already starting to stir.

"One option is this house. Zeng Qiang and Xiao Xia can live there, and my parents can rent a small courtyard in Nanxiang. It won't cost much a year, at most a hundred yuan. If we negotiate well, it might even be less than a hundred yuan. My dad has trouble walking, so it'll save him from staying at home all day. Having a small courtyard will also make it easier for him to move around."

Also, we should move this house to a place on the outskirts of the city. We should get a bigger one, preferably a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment on the first floor.

"I thought you had some great idea, but this house is in the city. Who would exchange a house in the city for one outside? Even if it's in a rural-urban fringe area, it's still the countryside. Are you crazy?" Zeng Qiang retorted quickly after Xu Keke's earlier comment.

"You're the idiot! Can't you use your brain? Why would anyone trade a big house for a small one if you don't move out? Besides, what's wrong with living in a rural-urban fringe area? Vegetables are cheaper. The only downsides is that shopping malls are inconvenient, and there are always people selling meat, eggs, and dairy products illegally. You live here, and it's not close to work. You still have to ride a bicycle. Over there, you just have to leave a little earlier."

“Your sister’s suggestion is a good idea,” Zeng Geng said, his brow furrowed.

After Zeng Geng's words, Yang Xia also said, "I think my sister is right. My family home is actually not close. If we could exchange it for a house in the city, they would definitely be willing. It's only a short bike ride to the mall, but it's inconvenient for Dad and Mom to go out."

Li Wenlian said from the side, "No need, I don't need to go to the mall. Just help me get the processing work on time and then bring it back."

“That’s easy, I’ll just bring it over when I go to work,” Zeng Qiang chimed in.

Yang Xia: "I can do it too..."

"Alright, we don't have any information yet. This is just our initial intention. Once we find a suitable house, that will be a minor issue."

"Sister, do you think changing houses will violate national policies?" Zeng Qiang asked Xu Keke as if nothing was wrong.

"Don't worry, if the government doesn't agree, you won't even be able to change your household registration. As long as you can change your household registration, there won't be any problem. Just try it and you'll see."

Xu Keke had already figured it out in her mind. The original owner actually had a trump card in her hand, but she always thought about living an honest and law-abiding life, so this card became a useless one.
