Chapter 185 Cruel Reality



After Shitou told Shen Siyue about this situation, Shen Siyue couldn’t believe her ears: “I bought the house myself, and I can’t make the decision myself?”

Although Shen Siyue has the memories of the original owner, when it comes to things that the original owner has not experienced, she habitually thinks about the problem from the perspective of the afterlife.

She thought that once she bought the house, it would belong to her and she should have the final say on how to use it. However, she didn't expect that this was not the case in the countryside.

In fact, at that time in the countryside, there was no such thing as buying land to build houses. If someone wanted a yard to build a new house, they needed to apply for a residential plot from the production team.

Because the land, private plots, private mountains, homesteads, etc. within the production team all belong to the production team.

After the application is submitted, the production team will evaluate its rationality and organize a meeting to inform everyone if it is approved.

You can just write a document according to the plan, roughly mark the location and square.

In rural areas, applying for residential land is a big deal and generally no one will object.

Even if the two families are fighting each other, they will never create obstacles on this issue.

After all, people at this time all want to have as many children as possible, because there will always be a situation where there is not enough space and the house needs to be expanded, so everyone tacitly agrees not to get entangled in this matter.

But after you build the house, if you don’t have a son to inherit the family business, that would be a hard thing to say.

In this day and age, it is not uncommon for a family to be wiped out by evil, whether in the city or in the countryside.

Shen Siyue was shocked by the news.

She pulled off the scarf around her face, and the big gulps of cold air that rushed into her lungs extinguished the anger in her heart.

And Shitou's next words made her shudder: "After you move out, you will be alone. Those scoundrels in the village who can't afford a wife may set their sights on you, so you have to be careful when you are alone."

Just like when Shen Hongmei designed to destroy Shen Siyue’s innocence.

There are only thieves who steal for a thousand days, but no one who guards against thieves for a thousand days. Shen Siyue said weakly: "Then a single unmarried woman can't survive in the countryside?"

The stone said nothing.

You can still survive, but it is hard to say how to live and what kind of life you will live.

This is also the reason why many families do not want to split up.

If you are not alone, then everyone around you is a good person.

But if you are alone and helpless, with no one to support you, then the people around you will rush over and swallow you up.

“That…that…” Shen Siyue said the word “that” twice, but was stuck.

She originally wanted to buy the shabby house, renovate it, and then use it as a retreat.

Marrying Shitou is a marriage, so if they ever fall out, she won't be left without a way out.

But what Shitou said today overturned her cognition.

No wonder girls are not welcomed in rural areas and every family is trying their best to have sons.

Just like Li Xiang, in order to have a son, she would rather sell her daughter in exchange for a son who doesn't even exist.

Shen Siyue was silent.

It is obviously impossible to let Shitou become a son-in-law.

What's more, if the two of them really got married, Shitou's house would be better, with a main house, side rooms, a yard, a courtyard wall, and everything else. It would be impossible for him to give up his house.

No wonder Liu Changshan gave her the house so easily. It turned out that he knew that the house would be returned to the village sooner or later.

No one is rushing to buy that house now because it is uninhabited.

And if she gets it fixed, she'll be very popular.

So the Shen family was so happy to sign the severance agreement with her because they knew that she would live a more miserable life if she left the Shen family, right?

After figuring it all out, Shen Siyue was very confused.

The two of them walked forward for a while in silence. Shi Tou saw that Chen Siyue was full of sadness and felt very sorry for her.

When he saw how full of life she was and how confident she was in life, he couldn't bear to mention the dirty things hidden in human nature.

Shitou even thought about whether he should apply to Murakami for the housing land in his name.

But on second thought, the production team would not agree.

After all, he was alone, and without a legitimate reason, it would be futile in the end.

Shitou slowly approached Shen Siyue, reached out and gently held her hand: “Don’t worry too much, what I said is the worst case scenario.”

"Maybe things won't be that bad. Besides, I'm here. If anyone dares to bully you, I'll destroy him!"

At this moment, Shitou felt a little regretful for telling her these upsetting things.

Shen Siyue looked up at him and saw regret and worry in his eyes.

Although she still felt a little blocked in her heart, Shen Siyue was also very glad that she knew these hidden worries earlier, so that she could take precautions in advance.

Although there are many difficulties in getting that house, Shen Siyue still doesn't plan to give up.

She can fight with the Shen family with a knife, so what is there to be afraid of?

"I still plan to find a way to get that house. As for what happens in the future? Let's take it one step at a time!"

Regardless of whether she could protect the house in the future, at least she would move in after the New Year, so the necessary repairs and supplements had to be done according to the plan.

“Okay, I’ll help you.” Shitou squeezed Shen Siyue’s hand hard.

Shen Siyue smiled and showed her eight little teeth. After all, there was still someone in front of her who could support her, and she was still very happy.

In order to cheer up Shen Siyue, Shitou changed the topic to the educated youth who were coming.

Shitou was also full of curiosity about the educated youth who came from the city.

He was curious about whether these city dwellers knew how to farm, could they do farm work, and could they endure the hardships of the rural people.

Shen Siyue didn’t care: “I’m sure you won’t be used to it at first, but you’ll learn it over time.”

The work point system is now implemented. When the government subsidies are gone, the educated youth will have to work honestly in order to avoid starving to death.

Besides, even if they come from the city, it doesn’t necessarily mean they have good conditions.

From the reports I’ve seen online before, some city dwellers’ food and accommodation are worse than those in the countryside.

A whole family of people squeezed into a small, shabby house, with almost no room to turn around.

If it were Shen Siyue, she would think it would be worse than here in the countryside.

At least every household here has a big yard.

The two of them were almost at the village as they walked. Shitou let Shen Siyue go first, and he followed from a distance behind.

Shen Siyue loaded the things she bought into her back basket.

Shitou took out some cooking seasonings and forced them into her mouth.

The two then parted ways.

The next day, Liu Changshan and his son finished their breakfast early in the morning and drove their donkey cart to the town again.

The educated youth will arrive today and they are going to pick someone up.
