Chapter 15: I don’t dare live with her family even if we split up or get divorced…
Chapter 15: Division or Divorce
After venting your anger by beating and scolding, the matter still needs to be resolved.
Grandpa Yan waved to his eldest granddaughter.
After Ruchun passed away, Grandpa sighed and said, "Grandpa is so sorry for you. I didn't know people well enough to arrange such a marriage for you. It almost ruined my granddaughter."
"Don't be afraid of anything. Just tell me what you want to do in the future. I'll make the decision for you."
Grandma Yan pointed at Aunt Wen angrily and said, "Back then, she was such a person, and she would come to our house every day to praise you so much. It turns out she was just after our dowry.
Ruchun, you can't live with this evil woman. You never know when rat poison might be planted in her.
By then, all the dowry will remain in their family, and they can even marry a new wife."
"Wow~" The onlookers were also in an uproar.
But if you think about it, it's not impossible.
"I really didn't realize this Aunt Wen, she's just like Pan Jinlian."
"Is Wen Youliang Wu Dalang or Ximen Qing?"
The nosy villagers were laughing and starting to go off topic.
Fortunately, Ruchun made up her mind and said, "I don't dare to live with her family. Weidong is very good to me. If it weren't for him,
They've been secretly leaving me their rations. I... I want to separate and live separately. If we can't, then we can get a divorce!"
It will be easy if the parties involved have an idea.

The Yan family has been here for several generations, and the Wen family is in the wrong, so there is no room for bargaining.
The Wen family does have relatives in the local area, otherwise they would not be able to have such old relatives with the Yan family. And precisely because both sides are relatives, it is difficult for them to come forward to help.
Besides, Wen Youliang and his wife are indeed not authentic. It is embarrassing to be related to their family, so who would speak up for them?
I'm so afraid that others will say that I have bad intentions inherited from my ancestors that I can't even hide away.
How could Wen Youliang and his wife, acting alone, possibly outperform the Yan family, who were both in control and had a legitimate advantage, let alone through force? As for the eldest son's family, they hadn't received any of the good stuff, so how could they possibly show up? And the two younger sons were hiding in silence, so what could they do?
At the end of the discussion, Weidong and Ruchun separated their property, and the work points they earned were converted into food for themselves. In addition to the eldest and second sons, the Wen family also had two younger brothers and a younger sister. Apart from 120 yuan, their own bowls and chopsticks, and edible vegetables from the vegetable garden, they did not get anything else.
In those days, no one had land, so chickens and pigs were raised for the commune, and they would just share some of the money after they were sold.
After the separation, I can apply to raise chickens and pigs, and have my own private plot of land.
There were no extra pots, pans, farm tools, etc. at home, so we had to find a way ourselves.
This is also the reason why many people cannot divide their family these days. Without a pot, they really may not even have food to eat.
From now on, if you want to go out during the holidays, you can go out. If you don’t want to go out, there’s nothing you can say. Not to mention retirement.
Even if Ruchun and his wife wanted to raise the child, the old couple would not dare to accept it.
Why? Of course, they're afraid of retaliation.
If you think about the bad things you have done, you will naturally speculate about others. How can you not be afraid?
After all, the only difference between the Wen family's actions and premeditated murder is the result. If it is not discovered today, it is hard to say what will happen in a year.

Yan Jiuru did not agree that Ruchun and his wife could continue to live in their original house.
You'll see her everywhere you look. Now that everyone in the family has left, won't Ruchun have to endure the Wen family's weirdness from now on?
"We'll allocate a new piece of residential land to build another house. If there's a suitable vacant house in the village, move there first. If not, move to Xinghua Brigade first. I'll find a place for you to live."
Secretary Bai: We have to have it. We have to go to Xinghua Brigade. Wouldn't that be like marrying into the family? We can't lose face.
"When we were fighting against the landlords, the current brigade headquarters was the courtyard of the landlord Liu. There was a small side courtyard next to it, which was used to house servants like the wet nurse. There were two side rooms, which were a bit small, but they were made of bricks and tiles and didn't leak."
Yan Jiuru rode his bike to take a look. It was alright. If he could clean it up and build a stove and other things, it would be much better than the current one. But the yard was too small, which might not be very convenient for farmers to live in.
But it's okay as a temporary transition for a while.
The Wen family's children were so frightened that they dared not make a sound the whole time.
Wei Hong, on the other hand, grumbled strangely, "A brick house is so nice, but our elders haven't lived in one yet."
Yan Jiuru turned around and stared at her: "What's the matter? Do you have any objections? How about separating you? I think you are the one who is picky!"
Wei Hong shrank back. She didn't expect this person's ears to be so sharp, so she just spoke in a low voice.
"Hurry up, empty my sister's box. If you don't have hands, I'll help you empty it out!"
Wei Hong was reluctant and unwilling to give up. If she gave back what she had obtained, how would she save face when the time came?
Yan Jiuru walked past her in a few steps and entered the east room. He picked up the box with one hand and walked to the door. With a flip of his hand, the box turned over and the contents fell to the ground.
"Wow~" everyone was shocked.
Then, what was even more shocking was that a bag of peach cakes, half a bag of roasted fruits, most of a bag of fruit candies, a piece of red cloth, a stack of money, and more than a dozen industrial coupons fell out and were scattered all over the floor. . . .
He really treats other people's boxes as his own and hides all the good things in them.
Look, your daughter is so hungry that she can't even eat a sweet potato, so she secretly eats snacks and candies.
Carrying the box in one hand and the lid in the other, Yan Jiuru stepped on the peach cake and strode out. Mm, it felt so crispy!
"My peach cake——"
Wen Weihong screamed and rushed over.
Secretary Bai opened his mouth wide: …

Now is the time before transplanting rice seedlings. Everyone is busy leveling the rice fields and so on. Time is very tight. Once Ruchun settles down, everyone is busy with their own things.
It was Grandma Yan who fell ill.
The old man feels guilty.
Aunt Yan had to take care of her daughter-in-law during her confinement while also looking after her mother-in-law. She also felt sorry for her daughter and was exhausted herself.
Fortunately, the medicines Yan Jiuru brought back were all suitable for the symptoms. However, heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. If you can't get over it, it will take a long time to recover from the disease.
Yan Jiuru didn't dare to ask Ruchun to come back for help, for fear that it would cause greater distress to the two elderly people. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to her father-in-law's house and ask her mother-in-law to take care of her during the confinement period.
Originally, Chen Yin wanted to leave the family to take care of the family after giving birth, but no one at home allowed it, and the old lady even threatened to not take her medicine.
As the old saying goes, if you don’t take good care of yourself during the confinement period, you will suffer from illness for the rest of your life.
It was also at this time that everyone realized how important Grandma Yan and Aunt Yan were to the family.
It’s okay if a man leaves home for a few days, but the home will be in a mess if a woman is missing for a day.
My younger sister Ruyue also matured a lot all of a sudden. She would go home early after school every day to help bring water and medicine. When Aunt Chen came home during her time, she would also help wash her nephew's diapers.
The third child no longer went out to play mischief every day. He would hang around his mother and grandmother every day, and would ask, "Grandma, do you want some water? I'll pour it for you."
After a while, he asked, "Mom, do you want to go to the toilet? I'll help you go."
This kept him busy.
The second brother was not like that. He just quietly did all the work he could do at home. After all, his eldest brother, his father and his grandfather had to earn work points, otherwise the family would suddenly lose too many work points.
When the news of the Wen family's affairs reached the Xinghua Brigade, the members had all sorts of opinions.
Someone said: "I didn't think that store was very good at first, so I came here every now and then and looked around."
Someone said: "The Yan family is the same. The daughter-in-law here is from the secretary's family. Why did the girl marry into such a family?"
It's really hard to say. No wonder both generations of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fell ill.
Even if the Demon Lord were alive, Yan Jiuru would not be able to stop the gossips of the people. He could only let time make them forget.
***
My wife and daughter-in-law have been sick for five or six days. They have to get better soon because we are about to start transplanting rice seedlings. As long as they are not paralyzed and unable to move, they have to stand up.
Grandma Yan and Aunt Yan were already suffering from a lot of worries. When they heard the loudspeaker saying that it was time to prepare for rice planting, they ignored everything else and recovered quickly.
Yan Jiuru specially went to cut two pounds of meat and tore a piece of cloth and sent them to his father-in-law's house to thank his mother-in-law for leaving her home to help.
Aunt Yan later explained to Yan Jiuru, "Your grandmother got sick because of herself.
She has always been very good at judging people, me, your second aunt, your third aunt, and your wife, but she was blinded by some old relative. How can she not be angry with herself? "
Yan Jiuru: "People make mistakes, and horses stumble."
"Don't think too much, Mom. I'll keep an eye on Ruchun from now on. We'll be able to get by. Besides, she's not the kind of person who can't get up after falling down. Look, she's doing fine now."
Aunt Yan sighed, "You don't understand. Women, when they get married for the first time, they throw their whole heart into it. If there's a hole in that heart, no amount of wealth and glory in the rest of their lives can fill it up."
Okay, he doesn’t understand, but he will be good to his wife.

When Chen Yin finished her confinement, the rice planting season had just begun.
Early in the morning, the team leader divided the work: one group of people went to pick up the seedlings, one group of people transported the seedlings, and another group of people was responsible for throwing the seedlings, and then they started planting the seedlings.
At this time, the school also had a holiday for the busy farming season, and every household, both adults and children, joined in the work. There was no idle person in the village.
Chen Yin was also worried because there was no one at home to look after the children.
Yan Jiuru looked at the style of the cradle and the next day she weaved a large oval basket with an upturned top.
"Here, just put it here and take it with you."
Chen Yin tried it and it was pretty good. The size was a few inches larger, so it should be able to be used until the child is about two years old.
Chen Yin found a piece of rag and tied the corrugated stick to the handle of the basket. Children nowadays are very tough and they basically don't cry or make a fuss if they have something to watch over them.
When going to work, they didn't dare put the basket on the ground, for fear that insects and ants would crawl in and bite the children, so they could only hang it on a thick branch.
The adults were working not far away, chatting and laughing, and some were singing little songs. Occasionally, a breeze blew, the baskets swayed, and the flower sticks rang. Zhuangzhuang, on the other hand, was relieved and kicked his feet with joy.
During the process, Chen Yin would go to feed the baby twice, change diapers, etc., and then take it back when she got home from work.
Grandma and Yan Niang take turns to leave work early and go home to cook. Every family does this, otherwise they will be too hungry to cook when they get home.
