"What about my younger brother and sister?"
Gu Changjiang asked.
He's the eldest brother, so he has to take care of his younger brother's wedding and his younger sister's marriage.
"Your younger brother and sister will live with us, the old couple, for now. If you're able, you can help them out when they get married in the future."
This isn't a big problem; the two of them still have the energy to manage it.
“We have 800 yuan in savings. After deducting the dowry and betrothal gifts for your younger siblings, and the money left for us old folks to protect ourselves, we’ll give each of you 100 yuan. The food and utensils in the kitchen will be divided equally.”
"The house will be allocated according to the room you live in now, but the kitchen will belong to your mother and me. If you think it's too cramped to cook, you can build your own shed."
After Gu Guangrong finished speaking, he looked at his wife seeking praise, asking if he was right.
"Divide it according to your father's instructions."
Xie Xiuying nodded in agreement.
The money that belonged exclusively to the third son would be given to him secretly later.
"So, Mom and Dad, after the family splits up, who will you live with in your old age? How much filial money will we give you each month?"
Gu Changshan was concerned about the elderly couple's retirement; after all, no one could just ignore it.
“Your mother and I can still work and earn work points, so we don’t need a penny from you. When we get old and can’t move around anymore, we’ll live with the eldest son. After we die, the house will belong to the eldest son.”
"Just follow the pension standards set by the brigade at that time."
Gu Guangrong and Xie Xiuying had considered the decision about retirement for a long time.
Finally, I made up my mind to live with the eldest brother and not to be a burden to the third brother or hinder their progress.
The third son and his wife have a long life ahead of them.
As their parents, they can't offer much help, so they can only try their best not to hold them back and save them some trouble.
As for the second son, with Zhou Lan's in-laws, there's bound to be some trouble in the future; they just want to live a peaceful life.
"Alright, alright, why are you all looking so long-faced? Cheer up."
Xie Xiuying tugged at the face of Gu Changshu, who was closest to her.
"Boss, go and call your uncle to be a witness."
Gu Guangrong took a puff of his pipe and said slowly.
Once Gu Xianjin finished writing the family division document and everyone signed and sealed it, the family division was finally concluded.
"Alright, alright, everyone go back and rest."
Xie Xiuying was a little tired, so Gu Guangrong quickly helped his wife into the house to lie down.
Inside the room, Ruan Qiushui looked at Gu Changfeng, who showed no sign of sadness and even seemed a little smug, and couldn't help but pinch his arm.
"You really want to separate from the family?"
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't we be reluctant to part with it?
"Of course, otherwise how can I spend some time alone with you?"
If it weren't for the feelings of his parents, Gu Changfeng would have moved in with his wife immediately.
Then you won't have to restrain yourself at night, worrying about being overheard.
I have to mention that the soundproofing of the walls in my house is really bad.
"Alright then."
Since her son is so happy, she shouldn't create trouble for herself.
After the family separated, she felt much more relaxed.
Three days later, Gu Changfeng's injuries were fully healed, and the young couple moved into their new house on that day.
"Father, Mother, and brothers and sisters-in-law, remember to come to the new house for dinner tonight."
Looking at her family members helping her pack, Ruan Qiushui felt a little embarrassed.
"Okay, then we'll come over for dinner tonight."
This also saves us from cooking at home.
"Changfeng, go and get some firewood."
Gu Changfeng specially hired someone to dig a well in the backyard of his new home, so he wouldn't have to worry about water. The only problem was gathering firewood; he had to go up the mountain.
"I'm going to town to buy some things I need for the house."
Ruan Qiushui sent Gu Changfeng away, preparing to sell her goods on the black market and, incidentally, to legitimately acquire some supplies.
"OK."
We only have enough firewood for one meal, so we're stocking up now to save my wife from having to work hard at home tomorrow.
Gu Changfeng carried a basket on his back and took an axe as he went out.
After Gu Changfeng left, Ruan Qiushui also carried a basket on her back, got on her bicycle, and headed towards the town.
"Qiushui, where are you going?"
Wu Guihua, who was sitting and chatting at the entrance of the brigade, saw Ruan Qiushui riding over and casually asked her a question.
"Auntie, I'm going to town to buy some things. We've moved to a new house, and there are quite a few odds and ends missing."
Ruan Qiushui gave a hint, saving her the trouble of explaining it again when she returned.
"That needs to be purchased."
When a young couple lives alone, they still need to deal with the necessities of daily life.
Wu Guihua quickly told Ruan Qiushui to get busy, then turned to chat with the other women.
Ruan Qiushui first went to the post office, chatted with Yang Chuchu for a while to see if there were any letters or packages for her, and then went to the black market.
"Sister Qiu, we're facing a business crisis."
Zhou Yi looked at Ruan Qiushui with a worried expression.
"What's wrong?"
Ruan Qiushui sat down to drink tea and listened to him speak slowly.
"A day ago, a batch of counterfeit Sekkisei products appeared on the market. Not only were they cheap, but there were also no quantity limits. Now many of my regular customers are going to buy them from there."
Zhou Yi looked frustrated.
Many regular customers came back and scolded him after buying from him, saying that he had a bad attitude towards money.
"Relax, within three days, those customers who have used our genuine products will come back."
Ruan Qiushui has absolute confidence in her products.
"Really? Don't we need to lower the price or lift the purchase restrictions?"
He knows all too well how good the skin whitening business is.
We're losing customers badly right now. Can we just do nothing?
"Don't worry, in three days, not only will our old customers return, but they will also bring a group of new customers."
"I've kept enough Sekkisei in the warehouse for people to pick up themselves. Just one thing: we must stick to the purchase limit policy."
She even had to thank the counterfeit and substandard products for giving her free publicity.
"good."
Hearing Ruan Qiushui say this, Zhou Yi felt much more at ease.
"I've prepared 20,000 worth of goods. Come with me."
If cold storage warehouses weren't so common yet, making it difficult to store meat, seafood, and other supplies, she wouldn't have to go to the black market so often.
"Okay."
Upon hearing about the goods, Zhou Yi paid faster than anyone else.
After the transaction was completed, Ruan Qiushui bid farewell to Zhou Yi and headed to the supply and marketing cooperative.
She didn't lack basic necessities like firewood, rice, oil, and salt in her space, but the packaging didn't fit the era.
After Ruan Qiushui made one purchase at the supply and marketing cooperative, she could then simply use the resources from her spatial storage to fill it up.
Ruan Qiushui carried a large basket full of supplies on her back, rode her bicycle, and deliberately lingered near the brigade entrance before returning home.
"Honey, what did you buy back?"
Gu Changfeng helped take down the basket, and the firewood, rice, oil, and salt on top looked normal.
He paused, stunned, when he saw the two hens, a rabbit, ten pounds of pork, and a bag of apples below.
"Wife, did you buy these things on the black market?"
Gu Changfeng exuded a cold aura, feeling both anxious and angry.
Looking at the pretty girl in front of him, he couldn't bring himself to scold her.
