"Don't waste time. Either take the money or leave the clothes." Jiang Chao weighed the gold lock in his hand. He didn't expect to get such an unexpected fortune. He would use the fifty yuan to buy Zhang Tieying some fashionable and beautiful clothes. Wouldn't she be so happy?

Liu Chunhua was so angry that she was shaking all over. At this moment, her disgust for the Jiang family reached its peak. Seeing her reaching her hand into her pocket, Jiang Chao and Aunt Jiang both widened their eyes.

The next moment, Jiang Ruyi pretended to lose her balance and bumped into Liu Chunhua's calf. The money in her hand fell down because she couldn't hold it firmly.

"Hey! My money!"

Jiang Chao was shocked and hurriedly bent over to chase after him. Aunt Jiang was also anxious, afraid that she might miss a point.

[Humph, don't you want money? Then kneel down on the ground and pick up as much as you can! ]

Jiang Ruyi's delicate face flushed red. She hugged Liu Chunhua and comforted her, "Let's go. Don't waste your energy on this kind of rubbish."

"Well, let's go home, back to our own home."

Liu Chunhua put away all her heartbreak, and when she looked up again, she had become different. Her eyes were as firm as iron, and from now on, nothing could defeat her.

A few people took the packed bags from Jiang's house and left this dirty place without looking back.

Halfway along the way, Widow Zhao and Zhao Tiezhu were waiting.

Seeing Liu Chunhua and her son coming from afar, he immediately drove the ox cart to meet them.

"I'm sorry, Sister Zhao, for bothering you to come and pick me up."

Long before she and Jiang Chao went to handle the formalities, Liu Chunhua asked someone to pass a message to inform them of the situation here. Widow Zhao and Zhao Tiezhu were worried that she had too much luggage, so they rushed over specially.

"Why are you being so polite to me? Your business is my business." Widow Zhao said as she took the luggage and put it on the ox cart. "I bought some of the things that are urgently needed in the new house. It is no longer a problem for people to live in it. If you guys see anything missing, I will buy more."

"Thank you very much, Sister Zhao." Liu Chunhua was grateful from the bottom of her heart. If it weren't for the help of Widow Zhao during this period, she would not have been able to handle things so smoothly.

When the group arrived at the rented house, Jiang Zhize looked at it blankly, unable to describe his feelings.

He originally thought that after leaving with Liu Chunhua, he would have to go hungry for a while, but he didn't expect that life here was so good. He didn't know how his mother, a woman with a half-year-old sister, managed all this.

After taking the key to unlock the house, everything in the mud house had changed. Not only had the windows, tables and chairs become cleaner and brighter, but the furnishings everywhere also had a homely feel, and even the bed was covered with a new mattress.

"Sister Zhao, did you do all this?" Liu Chunhua's eyes turned red. Widow Zhao patted her hands gently. "It's okay. I'm at home with nothing to do. I cleaned it up with my hands. Do you like it?"

Liu Chunhua was of course satisfied. Widow Zhao's enthusiasm and thoughtfulness made her feel that she was no longer alone after the divorce. "I know you won't like hearing those hypocritical words again, Sister Zhao. I, Liu Chunhua, will put this here. I will definitely repay your kindness in the future."

"Silly girl, why are you saying these things?" Widow Zhao's eyes were also wet. Ever since her husband died, she didn't know who spread the rumor that she was a husband-killer. Not only did few people in the whole village want to pay attention to her, but even the sisters who used to have a good relationship with her gradually became estranged from her.

Before Liu Chunhua came to their village to do business, she had been lonely for a very long time.

Several people helped to pack up the things, and Liu Chunhua offered to treat them to a meal. "It's getting late, why don't we go out for a meal together? I'll buy some vegetables and food when I come back and cook for you myself."

"No, I'll go back right away. There are children at home waiting for me to cook." Widow Zhao refused again and again. Liu Chunhua knew that she was deliberately saving money for herself, so she didn't say much. She shook Widow Zhao's hand and said, "Let's do it another day. When I'm done here, we can have a good talk."

"Oh, okay." Widow Zhao didn't know what she wanted to talk about, but she agreed. She turned to Zhao Tiezhu and said, "Then I'll go back first. You stay here and help Sister Chunhua. If there's any heavy or dirty work, you can help. It's not a big deal if you come back later."

"No need." Liu Chunhua shook her head repeatedly. "I don't have anything to do here. Let Brother Tiezhu go with you. You don't have to walk back."

Widow Zhao also realized at this time that Liu Chunhua had just divorced, and they had to avoid suspicion as a single man and woman.

"Okay, then we'll go."

After seeing Widow Zhao off, Liu Chunhua returned to the main room and sat down. The sense of disparity brought by the unfamiliar environment made her feel strange for a moment, but it was quickly diluted by the conversation between Jiang Zhize and Jiang Ruyi.

"Call me brother. If you call me brother, I'll give you some." Jiang Zhize took out a candy from somewhere and kept teasing it in front of Jiang Ruyi.

Jiang Ru rolled her eyes at this. Did he really treat her like a child?

"Mom, why doesn't my sister know how to call for help?" Jiang Zhize poked his little sister's chubby cheek with his hand, making Jiang Ruyi even more annoyed.

"Okay, your sister will scream when she wants to, so don't keep provoking her." Liu Chunhua watched the interaction between the two and finally a smile appeared on her face. Just when she was about to get something to fill her stomach, Zhao Tiezhu came back again.

"Brother Tiezhu, you..."

Liu Chunhua looked at the person standing in front of her in surprise. Zhao Tiezhu didn't say anything, but handed her an oil paper bag and a small bag of rice.

"My sister-in-law said she was worried that you would be hungry, so she asked me to bring some food over first."

Liu Chunhua took the oil paper bag, and the aroma of the meat bun instantly rushed into her nose. She didn't know what to say for a moment. She owed favors to both Widow Zhao and Zhao Tiezhu.

"Eat it while it's hot. My sister-in-law is still waiting for me. I'm leaving now."

Zhao Tiezhu turned and left after saying this. Jiang Zhize saw the complicated look on Liu Chunhua's face and couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

Could it be that mother really likes this guy?

Would he agree to let them be together? If he agreed, wouldn't this guy become his stepfather? But if he didn't agree, it would be hard for his mother to be alone...

Liu Chunhua didn't know that her silly son had thought so far. She took out a meat bun and handed the rest to Jiang Zhize, "Eat it. After that, we'll go out for a while."

"Where are you going?"

"Looking for your second brother."

Of course, when Liu Chunhua said she was going to look for the second child, she didn't mean to go there in person. The place where they were now was far away from the county town where the second child went to school. She had no money at the moment and was afraid that the round-trip fare would not be enough.

However, they could make a public phone call at the supply and marketing cooperative and tell him their new address so that he wouldn't be unable to find them when he came back.
