Brother Cheng thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement. "Then I'll ask the fourth brother about his plans tomorrow and see what he thinks."
"Okay." Hearing that Big Brother Cheng agreed with her idea, Mrs. Cheng lay down on the bed contentedly, covered herself with the quilt, and continued, "Well, even if the fourth brother doesn't agree, you have to talk him into agreeing. If that doesn't work, we can pay some money to buy his room, or rent his room. Then, after renting it for a while, the room will become ours, right?"
"Okay, then I'll talk to him tomorrow." Brother Cheng also took off his clothes, lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and said slowly.
-------------------------------------
At dawn in winter, the world seems shrouded in a veil. The sky remains a deep blue, with a hint of paleness appearing where it meets the horizon. The faint morning light filters through the mist, casting a chilling light on the earth.
The mountains in the distance appear hazy and mysterious in this light, like an elegant ink painting. Although the trees in the mountains have lost their lushness in summer, they have a unique quiet beauty against the backdrop of the morning mist.
A stillness permeated the cold air, broken only by the occasional chirp of birds. The streets were quiet, still unawakened by the hustle and bustle of day. The tiny lights shone through the village, warm and soft, like sparks of fire in the cold of winter.
Brother Cheng and Sister-in-law Cheng got up early in the morning. Sister-in-law Cheng sat in the yard, working while secretly watching that Cheng Jiawen and his wife had not gotten up yet.
By ten o'clock, Mrs. Cheng had finished her work a long time ago. She sat in the yard in the cold wind for several hours, her body shivering with cold. She hurried to the kitchen to light a fire, boiling water and warming herself.
After boiling a large pot of water, Cheng Jiawen and Xu Qianjiao finally got up. She hurried over and greeted them with a smile, "Fourth Uncle, Jiaojiao, are you guys up?"
"Good morning, sister-in-law." Cheng Jiawen and Xu Qianjiao looked at the attentive sister-in-law in front of them, feeling a little confused, wondering why she was suddenly so enthusiastic.
Mrs. Cheng pointed to the kitchen and said, "There's hot water in the kitchen. I boiled it specially for you. Go wash up."
"Um...Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."
Mrs. Cheng smiled and waved her hand, "You're welcome, you're welcome."
After washing up, Cheng Jiawen and Xu Qianjiao prepared to go out. They planned to go out and find something to eat. After all, they had separated from the family and didn't get any food. If they stayed at home, they would starve to death.
When Mrs. Cheng saw that the two wanted to go out, she hurried to the room to tell Brother Cheng, asking him to go and talk to Cheng Jiawen.
After receiving the information, Brother Cheng immediately went to Cheng Jiawen's room.
"Knock knock knock~ Fourth Brother, it's me, big brother." Big Brother Cheng stood at the door and knocked gently.
Cheng Jiawen opened the door from the inside and saw Brother Cheng standing at the door. He was a little curious. What happened today? Both the couple were so strange. One was so attentive, and the other came to him on his own initiative.
You know, when Brother Cheng usually looks for him, he usually asks his son Goudan to come and see him, and it's rare that he comes to his house on his own initiative today.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Cheng Jiawen looked at Brother Cheng and asked lightly.
Brother Cheng peeked at Xu Qianjiao in the room, nodded slightly at her, and then pulled Cheng Jiawen aside.
Cheng Jiawen followed Brother Cheng's strength and walked to the side. "What's wrong, brother? Do you have something to talk to me about?"
When Brother Cheng heard him ask this, he didn't know how to start. He scratched his head and prepared to be polite first, "Fourth Brother, we just split up the family, what are your plans for the future?"
"Well, I haven't thought about it yet. I plan to go back tomorrow and think about it then." Cheng Jiawen smiled and evaded the question, "I'll ask my father-in-law and mother-in-law for their opinions tomorrow."
"I see." Brother Cheng nodded in understanding. "It's time to ask the elders for their opinions."
Suddenly, he made a sudden change, "But, you still have to have your own ideas first, so that your father-in-law and mother-in-law will feel that you are reliable and can rest assured to leave their daughter to you."
Cheng Jiawen suddenly became interested when he heard what he was about to say. He nodded as if he had suddenly understood something. "That's exactly what I should do. So...do you have any good suggestions, big brother?"
When Brother Cheng heard him being so shrewd, he laughed inwardly, "This Fourth Brother is such a fool. He believes everything others say. Well, we can just say that we asked him to sell the house to us. Maybe we can even get him for free."
He touched his nose, thought for a while, and then slowly said, "Well, I think a man should have a house. Now that you've separated, it's not very convenient to live at home. There are many people at home, and there are many conflicts. You don't want your wife to suffer, so I think it's best to move out."
When Cheng Jiawen heard this, he finally felt certain that they were planning to take over the room. Once he moved out, the room would be empty, and they would have more room to maneuver.
He thought so, but still had an embarrassment on his face. "Well, it's easy to say. How much does it cost to build a house? I don't have that much money. I only have the few dozen dollars from the family division."
Brother Cheng smiled brightly and said, "Well, let me give you some money to support you. 20 yuan, don't think it's too little, I don't have any more."
"This... How can this be, big brother, you are so kind." Cheng Jiawen looked at Big Brother Cheng with gratitude, his eyes still red with excitement, but he was confused in his heart, 'So kind, really give money? He didn't believe it.
Brother Cheng reached out and patted him on the shoulder. "Well, we're all brothers, why be so polite?"
Cheng Jiawen smiled with emotion. Suddenly, Big Brother Cheng changed the subject and said in a low voice, "Old Four, it's like this. Look, our Goudan is getting older now. It's not a good idea for him to always share a room with the two of us. So Big Brother wanted to ask you, after you move out, can you let Goudan live in your room?"
Hearing that he finally asked, Cheng Jiawen chuckled, "So you want to buy a room for 20 yuan? You're really imaginative. But this is also good. It just gives them a reason to move out. After all, the 20 yuan is earned for free, so it's better not to refuse it. But I can't agree too easily."
Thinking of this, he hesitated for a while, then slowly said, "Brother, this is not a small matter. I will go back and discuss it with my wife first, and then give you an answer tomorrow."
"become."
