"Dad, Mom, I'm going back to live here for a long time, so naturally I have to make long-term plans. This is what I think. For a short period of time, I'll squeeze in with Duo'er and the others, but I can't really go back and rely on my eldest and second brothers for my living. I have my hands and feet, so as long as I work hard, it's not impossible for me to support myself. If I rely on my eldest and second brothers, after a long time, not only will my sisters-in-law have opinions, but the villagers will also not be happy to listen to me. Don't you agree?"
Zhou looked at her and said, "Then tell me what your plans are." Perhaps because they had not lived together for too long, Zhou felt that her daughter had indeed changed a little and had become more independent-minded than before.
"Yes, what are your plans? Tell us and we will see if it is feasible." Yan Bingfa was walking in front, but now he walked to her side. It is indeed not a glorious thing for a married girl to return home. There are often gossipy women in the village. They don't care what your reason is for returning home. They can even say that something good is bad about you. It would be good if Chunxiao could be well arranged so that she would suffer less from rumors.
"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will take the divorce letter to the village head and ask him to help transfer my household registration. I want to set up a female household on my own."
"No." Yan Bingfa immediately objected, "Your mother and I are here, why are you going to establish a daughter-in-law on your own? Those who establish daughter-in-laws are because their family has no descendants."
"Dad, please listen to me. I'm not kidding when I say setting up a female household. Think about it, my elder brothers have separated now, and your household registration is linked to my elder brother's. What's the big deal if I add him? There's nothing wrong with setting up a female household and starting my own family. Our family ties are still strong, so we can interact with each other as usual. I'm a married girl, just like that widow setting up her own household. With you and my brothers in the village, no one dares to bully me."
Yan Bingfa was a little shaken.
"I'm actually planning to buy the house at the end of the village, renovate it, and live there. But I only have five taels of silver right now, and since the house is public property of the village, I wonder if it will be too expensive to buy it."
"How much is that shabby house worth!"
"No, Chunxiao, are you really planning to live there? It takes two incense sticks to walk to the village. If you live there alone, you won't be afraid of ghosts!"
Chun Xiao smiled and said, "Second brother, please don't scare me. Ghosts are not as scary as people. I am only afraid of people, not ghosts."
"I can't believe you're braver now than before."
"Did you think of all this yesterday?" Zhou looked at her. It turned out that her daughter had already made plans. "Chunxiao, you have a lot of ideas now."
"Mom, everyone grows up eventually. I don't want someone to point at my nose and scold me a hundred years from now."
"What you said is not a small matter. Let's talk about it when we get back. We really can't accommodate more people at home. I don't mind if you have a long-term plan. I will go ask about the house tomorrow and make a decision." Yan Bingfa glanced at Yan Dashan and Yan Dahe, "Don't mention the fact that Chunxiao has five taels of silver when we get back. Do you understand?"
"Dad, don't worry. Even if Fang Tian knew, she wouldn't want Chun Xiao's money, and my sister-in-law wouldn't either."
"I told you not to mention it, so don't mention it. There's no need to talk so much nonsense."
“Okay, okay, okay!”
“Remember!”
Zhou took Chunxiao's arm and started to curse the Zhou family again, "You two old fools, what's wrong with my daughter? This family just said they don't want her. Why didn't I see before that they are such a worthless family? I just saw their faces and I really want to slap that Xu mother-in-law twice."
"Mother, you only talk big. If I really ask you to do it, would you dare? I dare you. If you say so, I will definitely slap Zhou Hongzhi twice. I have disliked him for a long time. Every time I come home, he sits there. Chunxiao always serves him meals. Does he think he is the Supreme Lord? It is Chunxiao who spoils him, big brother, don't you think so?"
"What's the point of saying this now? He won't come in the future, so that's fine."
Yan Bingfa sighed, "I used to think Zhou Xingcai was a reasonable man, but now he's completely changed. So long as his family's money is involved, he can make it sound justified. I was really wrong about him. Chunxiao is really being tough this time."
"Don't tell me, when I heard you guys talking about this yesterday, I was worried that Chunxiao would be soft-hearted and be tricked and manipulated by them. Fortunately, she finally got a breath of fresh air, so this trip wasn't in vain."
"Forget it, Dad, Mom, let's not talk about the Zhou family anymore. They have nothing to do with me in the future. I feel so sorry for myself for all my sincerity these past few years. I feel so bad."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it anymore. I won't mention it anymore." Zhou held her arm, "Mother loves you too. If I had known earlier that you wouldn't marry a scholar, you should have found a farmer to earn a living instead. You wouldn't have such cunning thoughts. Mother regrets it too much."
Chunxiao looked at the thin coat her mother was wearing. "Mom, didn't I tell you yesterday to wear more clothes when going out? Are you cold? I have another coat in my bag. Why don't you put it on first?"
Zhou smiled and said, "It's not cold on the road, don't worry."
"Mother took apart her thick coat and made two coats for Shuduo and Shufeng, so she didn't have any thick coat herself."
"Mom works every day, how can she be cold? If the children catch a cold, they can eat up a set of coats with a few doses of medicine, but they can't afford a cold. Don't worry, Mom is really not cold."
Chunxiao looked at Zhou who was trying hard to smile, and couldn't help sighing in her heart. Five taels of silver was really too little. She would check the price of the house tomorrow before making any plans.
Several people struggled to hurry on their way, taking turns to hold the quilt. Fortunately, the weather was good today. They were sweating as they walked. There were dry grasses on the side of the country road, and they could meet one or two pedestrians from time to time. Chunxiao suddenly felt a little homesick. She had not lived in Yanjia Village for many years. Now that she was back, she still embarrassed her parents, so she suddenly retreated.
