Chapter 314: It’s hard to persuade them to separate. They already have three children, and it’s hard for outsiders to persuade them either…
The household contract responsibility system has actually been piloted in some areas.
Yao Mengmeng usually reads newspapers and has heard a little about it. If this is true, it is equivalent to contracting production to each household, with each family cultivating their own land and no longer having a big pot meal model.
It’s a good thing, but potential disputes are inevitable - will the land be divided according to households or according to the number of people?
If the land is divided by household, families with large populations will inevitably suffer; but if it is divided by headcount, the land of the production team is limited, and families with small populations will inevitably feel disadvantaged.
Therefore, if this policy is finally implemented, it will most likely be distributed based on comprehensive considerations. In principle, it will be based on the family unit, that is, it will be divided by household, but the population size will also be taken into consideration, and appropriate increases or decreases will be made.
By then, Liu Hongwei and his children probably wouldn't have any share of the Liu family's land. After all, Liu Hongwei was a son-in-law, and although his household registration wasn't moved here, he had lived in Yaowangzhuang for many years and his job was transferred to the commune.
The more Yao Mengmeng thought about it, the more she felt she was at a disadvantage. She asked, "Is that even possible? The children's household registration is with me, so they can't get any of their village land."
"Are you stupid? Liu Hongwei's household registration hasn't been moved! Let them give Liu Hongwei more when the time comes! Isn't Liu Hongwei's property the child's?" Yao Taotao was speechless. The two old men in the Liu family always rushed to register their grandson's household registration and took over the surname. But when it came to their granddaughter, they were very quiet. It was too obvious.
She wanted to see how filial the Liu family's sons would be when the time came, since they favored boys over girls.
It would be best if no one cared about those two old guys and let them enjoy their retribution in this life, bah!
Yao Mengmeng couldn't help laughing when she saw her second sister was so indignant. No matter what, it was great that her sisters were on her side.
But she was worried: "If that happens, when it's just me and my child, will the village collective give us land?"
"What are you afraid of? If Yao Jingye dares not to give you a share, just go to his house and make trouble!" Yao Taotao was really not afraid of this. Yao Jingye had been quite quiet in recent years and should not be so confused.
Yao Mengmeng thought about it and it made sense. She held Yao Taotao's hand and said sweetly, "Second sister, you have to come back when the time comes."
"As long as I can get a leave, I will definitely come back." Yao Taotao glanced at the boy in Yao Mengmeng's arms. He looked fair and clean, and the food was probably good.
So apart from the issue of surname, Mengmeng's life is pretty good.
Liu Hongwei is also promising. Maybe he condoned what his parents did this time. After all, he has gone to work in the commune. It would be embarrassing for him to be talked about as a son-in-law.
But if the child has his surname, that would be a different story.
Although she could understand Liu Hongwei's situation and mood, she still felt unhappy. After returning to school, she called Yao Zhizhi.
Yao Zhizhi hadn't expected Yao Mengmeng to stage another farce of snatching the household registration. Feeling helpless, she advised, "You guessed right. Liu Hongwei probably acquiesced. Otherwise, where did his parents get the household registration booklet? Aren't all children registered in Yaowang Village?"
"That's right. They wanted to take revenge on the Liu family, but the sons wouldn't let them. Those two old beasts, with such an ugly way of eating, will get their comeuppance sooner or later."
"This is actually a good thing. Liu Hongwei has taken another child's surname. He feels guilty and will find ways to be nice to Mengmeng. You should not interfere in this matter for now. Wait for the couple to digest it themselves. If it really doesn't work out, you can intervene." Yao Zhizhi didn't want to persuade them to break up. After all, Yao Mengmeng already had three children, and Liu Hongwei's promotion was very smooth. If they really divorced, she would be the one who suffered.
This is different from Kong Badou's situation. Kong Badou has no ability and his job was given to him by his mother-in-law. Liu Hongwei is capable, but he has too many brothers in his family and the house is not big enough, so he has to marry into the family's family.
In this situation, one party will definitely suffer. It depends on whether Yao Mengmeng thinks her surname is more important, or whether she thinks continuing to live with this man is more important. It is difficult for outsiders to grasp and measure this, and it is difficult to persuade them to break up.
What if after all the persuasion, the couple ends up fighting and making up in the end? The person who tried to stop the fight will end up being in trouble.
Yao Taotao understood and couldn't help but sigh: "Is a surname really that important to a man?"
Yao Zhizhi was also helpless: "I have a classmate here. His parents bought him from human traffickers. The six daughters in his family are not as important as this bought son."
"I know their logic is that when the son gets married in the future, the child will definitely take his surname. Even if the daughter marries a son-in-law, it may not be able to prevent the farce of the three-generation return of the clan, and the family name will be cut off."
"Yes, they seem to have lost their minds. Their own flesh and blood are not as important as an illusory surname."
"Come to think of it, you and your brother-in-law haven't argued about this issue, have you?"
"No, my father-in-law was a martyr, so I didn't fight for it. If I really wanted to fight for it, I could have won it."
"Well, let's not argue about it. Don't use this to test your brother-in-law. If there's a rift in the relationship, it won't be repaired."
"That's not the case. I'll call him over." Yao Zhizhi looked at Qi Changxiao who was playing with the child, "Changxiao, come here."
Yao Taotao was a little surprised. Just as she was about to say that she didn't need her brother-in-law to answer the phone, she heard Yao Zhizhi ask from the other end, "I want to change the surname of my two children to Yao. Do you have any objections?"
"Okay, I'll go back and change it during the summer vacation. My household registration is not here." Qi Changxiao agreed without hesitation.
Yao Zhizhi smiled and pushed him away: "Go and accompany the children, we'll talk later."
"Okay! Don't talk too long, the meal is ready." Qi Changxiao went out again. Laughter came from the yard. The father-in-law and son-in-law were playing hopscotch with the two children, which was very childish.
Yao Zhizhi turned around and asked, "Did you hear that? He and I both don't care about this."
"I heard it." Yao Taotao was very envious. If the other party could give an answer without pausing when asked this kind of question suddenly and casually, it meant that he was telling the truth.
She could only sigh: "That's great, my brother-in-law and you are really a match made in heaven."
"Second sister, don't be discouraged. You're in college now, so you can pick a good one. By the way, you mentioned buying a house, have you bought one yet?"
"I bought it. It's right outside the school, very close, so I don't live on campus."
"That's great. I can cook my own food and go to bed whenever I want. I heard from classmates that the lights in the dormitory are turned off at a fixed time every day, so there's not much freedom."
"Yeah, it's the same here in Yicheng. The lights go out at 10pm. If you want to do anything, you can only use a flashlight."
"How's it going at the publishing house?"
"Well, that Chief Editor Gao is okay at work, but he's a bit fake, hypocritical, and a bit of a silver lining."
"I guessed it. She was smiling when we met on the plane. You should try not to offend her. After all, she is Director Xiao's sister-in-law." The people should not fight with the officials, nor should they fight with the officials' relatives.
Yao Taotao understood: "That Xiao Hui also went to work at the publishing house as a proofreader. She and Zhou Juan are at loggerheads. She's also pursuing President Chao. Young girls these days are so bold. The whole publishing house knows about it."
"President Chao? He's more than ten years older than her, right? She doesn't think he's old, does she?"
"You don't understand. There's a type of woman who only looks at the other person's conditions and doesn't care about age at all. Last month, I took my child to get vaccinations and met an old man and a young wife. The old man was almost sixty, and the young wife was only in her early twenties."
"God, doesn't she find the smell of old people offensive?"
"Because he has status and good treatment. I heard he's from a retirement home. His wife was originally a nurse taking care of him while he was bedridden, but then..."
"I don't understand. I have hands and feet, and I'm a nurse. Maybe we're just too backward. We're not as open-minded as they are."
"Haha, what can I say? Everyone has their own aspirations."
"Then I wish her success."
"Hahaha, which one are you wishing for?"
"Little nurse, Xiao Hui, the same kind of people."
"I understand. She is referring to this in general."
"That's right, Yao Taotao is worthy of being a college student, awesome!"
"Hahaha, aren't you childish?"
"Yes, yes. My name is Zhizhi, and I am very Zhizhi."
"Hahaha! Zhizhi, you're almost making me laugh to death." Yao Taotao smiled widely and chatted for a while before reluctantly hanging up the phone.
It feels so good, just like going back to eight years ago when they were still five sisters.
Yao Taotao paid the phone bill and prepared to go back to her residence, where she would just make a bowl of noodles.
As for Yao Jingjing's children and Director Hu's only son, they are all raised by the eldest sister. The eldest sister and Zhang Cai Ni have already reached a tacit understanding and are taking good care of all four children.
Yao Taotao would go back to visit every night, giving money and buying food when necessary. Because she was too generous, it was Yao Yingying who felt guilty.
At this moment, Yao Yingying was still making clothes with a kerosene lamp.
Yao Taotao came over after dinner and bought some food. Seeing that she was reluctant to turn on the light, she turned on the light in anger, walked over and held her hand: "How many times have I told you, why don't you listen? I have money, you are my sister, I am happy to spend money on you! Besides, you help me take care of the children, I would be a beast if I don't give you money!"
"Silly boy, Yao Jingjing is also my sister. I have the responsibility to take care of her child as well." Yao Yingying pried her sister's hands apart and continued to work.
Yao Taotao immediately took the kerosene lamp away and yelled, "Are you crazy? If you go blind, no amount of money can replace your eyes!"
Yao Yingying had no choice but to be obedient and use the electric light.
After finishing the dress in her hand, she went out to take a look and saw Yao Taotao reading comic books to four children very seriously.
At this time, Zhang Cai Ni can take a break, take a nap, or knit a sweater nearby.
When the children were sleepy, the three of them divided the work, some fetched water, some found benches, and coaxed the children to bed, and the day's task was completed.
The time after that is theirs.
Yao Yingying looked at Yao Taotao who was about to leave. After thinking about it, she finally said, "Ma Xiangqin is pregnant."
"She's an old sow, pregnant one after another?" Yao Taotao was shocked. It had only been a short time since her last stillbirth. Her physical condition was really amazing.
Yao Yingying smiled and sighed, "Cao Guangyuan came today. He said the factory wasn't doing well and he hadn't received any wages in two months. He wrote me an IOU for the child's living expenses."
"How is this possible?" Yao Taotao was stunned. How could this happen? As long as no one stole the raw materials and the non-staple food factory continued production as planned, it would have a fixed sales channel - the supply and marketing cooperatives that supplied Yicheng and nearby rural communes.
It's a stable job, how could it be possible that the salary can't be paid?
Yao Yingying didn't know. She took out the IOU and said, "I don't have time to go to the factory to verify. If you have less classes one day, please help me take a look. I suspect he is cheating me."
