"Then please, Uncle Secretary, bring me some papers. We need to write a certificate of severing ties."
"Okay, you guys discuss it first, I'll be back soon."
The team leader followed the branch secretary back, probably to help.
Lu Hai looked at his father and mother, still reluctant to leave, and continued to ask.
"Dad, Mom, we've settled all the money and severed our relationship. Were you forced by your eldest brother and sister-in-law? This isn't what you really think, is it?"
Seeing the sad Lu Hai, Lu's mother was afraid that Lu Hai would do something bad, so she hurried to stop him.
"Lu Hai, you and your brother have jobs anyway, so you can live well without us. You have a salary, so the betrothal money and the house are not important to you.
But it will be of great use to us. Your eldest nephew has grown up and is about to get married. The family needs money and a house. Since you don't need it, just give it to us."
After hearing this, Lu Hai's defense broke down and he couldn't help but ask Lu's mother.
"Mom, my brother and I haven't gotten married yet, can't you see? Besides, my nephew has his own parents, what does it have to do with you? And what does it have to do with me and my brother?"
Seeing Lu Hai collapse, Gu Ranran stepped forward to comfort him. But it was no use, so Gu Ranran spoke directly.
"Today, Lu Jiang and Lu Hai were driven out by their families and forced to become live-in sons-in-law. Once the Party Secretary has settled the accounts, we'll sever all ties. Please remember this. If you have any problems, don't come looking for Lu Jiang and Lu Hai again."
I want to tell you that Lu Jiang and Lu Hai are not live-in sons-in-law. Tiantian and I have already decided to marry them. We will first build a house in the village and then get married.
The wedding date is set for the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month. Everyone is welcome to join our banquet.
Everyone knows that the four of us have jobs and can't stay home to build houses. We'll hire people when the time comes. Food is not provided, and the pay is 80 cents a day. Anyone who wants to earn money can go to the team leader and sign up."
The villagers started talking again after hearing this, but they quieted down when they saw the team leader and the party secretary return.
The branch secretary saw that everyone was looking at him and made the announcement directly.
"Lu Jiang and Lu Hai started cutting grass for pigs to earn work points at the age of five. When they grew up, they started working in the fields and later they could earn full work points directly.
So the work points Lu Jiang and Lu Hai earned were used to pay for the food they ate as children, and the only thing they owed was tuition.
The tuition fee is 4 yuan per year, with 5 years of primary school, 3 years of junior high school, and 2 years of high school, a total of 10 years.
The tuition fee is 40 yuan per person, so 80 yuan for two people."
After the secretary finished speaking, Lu Jiang took out the 50 yuan betrothal money, a total of 90 yuan, plus Lu Hai's share it was 180 yuan.
Lu Jiang handed the money to his father, but before Lu could take it firmly, it was snatched away by Lu Jiang's sister-in-law.
Lu Jiang didn't care and took the three certificates of severing ties written by the team leader, and gave them to Lu's father, mother, and brothers to sign. He and Lu Hai also signed their names.
After signing the certificate of severance, Lu Jiang gave one copy to his father, one to the brigade, and he and Lu Jiang kept one copy.
"Now that I've paid off what I owe you, please don't bother Lu Hai and me anymore. As for moving out, Lu Hai and I don't have much to move. The things inside were also bought by you, so Lu Hai and I can't refuse them. I'll return them to you. Remember this: Lu Hai and I have paid off the debt."
After Lu Jiang finished speaking, he took Zhang Tiantian up the mountain. Lu Hai also took Gu Ranran up the mountain.
