In her previous life, old Mrs. Li wished she could pluck out her heart and liver to make soup for her children, yet in her old age, she faced indifference and evasion. Her children all kept their d...
Wu Xiaomei's eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Cousin, stop making a scene here!
When the land was divided, the old village party secretary was still around. Should we invite him to testify?
"Please!" Wang Jinhua stiffened her neck. "Even the old Party Secretary has to be reasonable! Our village's ancestral tradition is that married daughters have no land!"
Wu Xiaomei was the only one in their village who married into the city, and she was the only one who had land allocated to her parents.
Other women in the village who married out of the village all "married from the rural area to the rural area". Their household registration was moved with their husband's family. With this move, their natal family's land rights were naturally lost. There was no precedent in the village for a case like Wu Xiaomei.
Wang Jinhua is not afraid of anyone trying to reason with her!
In this era, a strict urban-rural dual household registration system is implemented, and the migration of rural residents to cities is strictly restricted.
The policy clearly stipulates that the urban population structure should be restricted. However, Li Minghua was only a temporary worker and could not provide a formal work certificate, which resulted in Wu Xiaomei's household registration being unable to be transferred to the city due to her marriage.
As a result, her children could only register with Xiaomei's rural household registration, so they were only allocated the land that belonged to them during the period of household contract responsibility system.
They are not making trouble because they know nothing. On the contrary, they know too much. They have been top-notch activists in the government’s literacy and legal education classes over the years!
Otherwise, when Wu Xiaomei was allocated land during the household contract responsibility system, she would have made a fuss.
There is only so much land, if one less person gets to share it, everyone can get more!
At that time, Wu Xiaomei was allocated some dry land, and no one cared about it. But now there is a road here, and you can make a fortune by selling water here. Now these people can't sit still.
Just come and make trouble. What if they meet two weak ones? Then they can do whatever they want with this land!
Just as the quarrel was getting out of hand, the village party secretary came over on his bicycle.
Everyone finally calmed down a bit, but Wang Jinhua still sat on the ground and refused to get up, muttering "It's unfair".
Wu Xiaomei pulled the village party secretary out and said, "Village party secretary, please give me some advice!"
There are more than 30 girls in the village who have married out. As long as our household registration is not moved out, is it because we don't want to move? Isn't it because of the policy? Now it's our fault?
The village party secretary frowned, listened to both sides, and sighed: "This matter must be handled according to policy.
Xiaomei's family has all the necessary documents for the contracted land. If you have any objections, you can report them to the city government, but you cannot obstruct their normal construction. If you continue to cause trouble, you can be arrested and sent to labor camps.
Wang Jinhua got anxious when she heard this: "Secretary, you're really being mean!"
"What do you mean by turning away?" The village party secretary's face darkened. "What era is it now? Are you still favoring boys over girls?
Xiaomei's household registration has always been in the village, so the land belongs to her. If you're dissatisfied, go and sue us for making this policy unreasonable!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Meijuan and Wang Yinhua hurried over to smooth things over. While persuading their cousin's wife to stop making trouble, they secretly gave Wu Xiaomei a look, which clearly meant: This matter is not over yet, let's talk about it later.
Li Minghua sneered, picked up his pickaxe, and continued digging. Wu Xiaomei wiped her tears and joined in the work.
