Chapter 46 An Jianjia's Thoughts
The village committee's words quickly reached An Songyu's ears.
Meanwhile, the two aunts who had just arrived also found out.
Both of them looked rather grim.
After a while, An Jian'an and his wife arrived.
Upon seeing their fourth aunt whom they hadn't seen in a long time, not only An Songyu, a junior member of the family, but also the rest of the An family, quickly greeted her.
Aunt An smiled slightly at the group, but didn't say a word.
The rest of the An family had become accustomed to this.
To prevent An Songyu, a junior who was unaware of the situation, from speaking carelessly, An Jianning even pulled An Songyu to her side.
An Songyu sat down following her aunt's gentle touch.
But he was subconsciously observing Aunt An.
Aunt An was married into the family from another district of Shuncheng, the farthest part of Rongdi, a village on the very edge of the northern region.
Although her family home and Jiangcun are both rural areas.
However, the differences between the two places are not minor.
The inferiority complex she developed at birth, her personality, and the subsequent birth of her daughter, coupled with the one-child policy, all contributed to her difficulties.
Despite paying the fine for having more children than allowed, she still had a daughter.
Aunt An's life can be said to have entered its darkest moment.
An Songyu did not grow up in her hometown, and before her rebirth, she missed the demolition and relocation because of her family's situation. She was determined to work hard.
Naturally, they don't have much time to gossip.
Even so, An Songyu still had a vague idea.
The fundamental reason why my fourth uncle made up his mind to venture into the city back then:
He knew that continuing to live in Jiangcun was not an option.
His wife may really find it hard to take it anymore.
Even if it doesn't matter to him.
Whether it was the rest of the family or not, no one seemed to care that she had only given birth to two daughters.
But in rural areas, it's not always just that they themselves don't care.
Then you can be fearless.
Rumors and gossip are just common occurrences.
Some particularly boring and shameless gossips will come right up to people and start gossiping.
In these situations, you need to find someone with a strong personality and plenty of confidence.
Not pointing fingers and cursing back is already considered being polite.
But it could be placed on Aunt An Si...
Although the An family was able to understand the fact that she had only given birth to two daughters.
But there was no way to understand how fragile she was.
I can't protect her every moment.
So, regarding An Jian'an taking his wife and children to the city to make a living...
They don't completely agree either.
But they didn't specifically oppose it.
After the couple sat down, An Shunhe asked An Songyu again, "Xiaoyu, are your parents really not coming?"
An Songyu nodded affirmatively.
With National Day just around the corner, the unprecedented three-day holiday plus two Sundays before and after has kept countless people extremely busy.
This year's National Day is especially special.
It's not just the 50th anniversary of the founding of our motherland.
In two more months, the gambling city will return.
Nowadays, the long, drawn-out call of the Seven Sons Song can be heard everywhere in the streets and alleys:
Mother, oh Mother
I want to come back, Mother, Mother
Do you know that ** is not my real name?
I want to come back, come back
Mother
Hearing An Songyu's answer, the rest of the An family let it go.
An Jianjia frowned and complained, "Dad, Mom, how could the third son do this?"
"Doesn't he know what time it is?"
"Listen to the bullshit those people in the village are spouting!"
"What do you mean we're married daughters? Now you're saying we're taking advantage of you by coming back to contract the land?"
"When we took on this contract, why didn't anyone stand up and speak up?"
"When the third brother comes back, he'll shut those people up, won't he?" An Shunhe retorted to the second brother with particular annoyance.
He then turned to look at his eldest and youngest sons.
“We already called the third son last night,” An Jianguo explained carefully under his father’s watchful gaze.
"Jianping said that we should leave things as they are for now and not touch anything else."
"As for our families... I won't talk about the second son and the youngest sister."
“Besides the orchard they contracted last time, there’s nothing else in the village.”
"Moreover, the accounts have already been frozen, so you have no way to transfer your household registration back."
"Account sealing? What's that?" An Jianjia's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked.
"The government has already registered the number of people and households in the village." An Jianguo thought for a moment before finding a suitable way to explain:
“From the day the announcement was made, they will not recognize any new household registrations moved into the village.”
"Of course, the village committee is also restricted from issuing new receipts, and the police station will no longer process relocation procedures for our village."
"Even if the village committee agrees to the move, it won't work?" An Jianjia suppressed his anxiety and inquired even more carefully.
“Of course not!” An Shunhe answered decisively, but couldn’t help but scrutinize his second daughter.
Why is this child suddenly so focused on this issue?
"Why are they so rigid?" An Jianjia was extremely unwilling.
The other members of the An family were somewhat taken aback by what they heard.
After a short while, An Jianning asked in a low voice:
"Second sister, this time you've come back... do you want to transfer your household registration back as well?"
"What, am I the only one who thought of this?" An Jianjia glanced around at everyone, then addressed An Jian'an and his wife first:
"Of your family's household registrations, only you and your husband are still at home now."
Then she looked at An Songyu and said, "And the third brother's family, it seems their household registration has never been in the village!"
When An Jianjia brought up this matter, An Jianguo and his brothers didn't know how to bring it up.
An Shunhe couldn't stand it any longer and asked directly, "Where did you hear these things?"
"What do you mean, 'Where did I hear these things from?'" An Jianjia was even more displeased. "Isn't this perfectly obvious?"
"What do you mean by 'of course'? It's just your own wild guess!" An Shunhe was speechless.
He turned to look at his other children, "Your fourth brother and his wife's household registration has never been moved from their home."
"Although they haven't lived in the village for a long time, they haven't missed a single task in the village's house repair and construction."
On this point, An Jianjia couldn't say anything even if he wanted to.
After all, the houses of the fourth and third brothers are located in the same row as the houses of the parents and the eldest brother.
However, the fourth brother always followed in his eldest brother's footsteps.
The houses built by the two families looked almost identical.
As for my third brother, if he hadn't been forced to come back to this small village this year because of his son's wedding, he probably wouldn't have returned.
"As for their children, ever since your third brother allocated homesteads to his children, haven't you brothers all followed suit?" An Shunhe said, sounding somewhat disdainful.
His daughter was never taught to favor boys over girls at home.
But ever since she went to her husband's family and gave birth to two sons in a row, she has made no attempt to hide her pride.
An Shunhe sometimes felt pain in his eyes when he saw her.
Unexpectedly, even after returning to the village so many times, she had never heard of this trivial matter.
