Hu Cuifen's tone softened, and she pleaded, "Kaixuan, they all know they are wrong. Can you stop torturing Hongmei and not split up the family?"

"Yes, brother, as long as we don't split up the family, we can do anything. We will definitely worship sister-in-law like a Bodhisattva in the future!" The three of them were also afraid of splitting up the family, and expressed their opinions in a hurry.

"Mom, there is no room for negotiation on this matter. We must score points!"

Yang Kaixuan ignored his brother and sister, and just looked at Hu Cuifen and said coldly: "I didn't keep a penny from my years in the army. I gave it all to you. Now I have a child, and I have to think about my little family!"

Hu Cuifen and the other three looked at each other. They didn’t expect that Yang Kaixuan’s attitude was so firm!

"Besides, Hongmei plans to live in the county town in the future. If you don't separate the family, she won't be able to work like a slave for you anymore. What's the point of you insisting on not separating the family?" Yang Kaixuan continued.

"What? She wants to live in the county town? She doesn't have a job in the county town, so she's just living off the land. You have to use your salary to support her, what a waste of money!" Yang Kaili said anxiously.

“That’s really interesting.”

Yang Kaixuan said sarcastically with a funny expression: "I don't spend my salary on my wife? Should I spend it on you?"

Yang Kaili's face turned red instantly.

"You are almost twenty years old. Why haven't you found a husband yet? Do you want to be an old maid forever and die in the Yang family?"

Yang Kaixuan said murderously: "Why don't you reflect on why you can't get married? Not only are you ugly, but you're also so lazy and don't do any housework. Who would want to marry you? I'd like to marry you home and treat you like a grandmother. What idiot is in need of a grandmother?"

Yang Kaili is indeed considered an old maid in the countryside.

The reason why she couldn't get married was that she was too lazy. Even her underwear was washed by her sister-in-law. She was notorious and everyone disliked her.

Don't expose people's weaknesses, and don't hit people in the face. Yang Kaixuan didn't hit her, but his words were like countless invisible slaps in her face one after another.

No, it should be said that Yang Kaixuan seemed to kick her in the face one after another!

Yang Kaili was instantly filled with shame and indignation. Tears welled up in her triangular eyes and she cried out "woo". She twisted her body, ran to the inner room, and buried herself in the quilt, crying like a pig being slaughtered, and she cried until she was out of breath.

Yang Kaixuan showed no sympathy at all.

He felt that he and Lin Hongmei had been too kind and righteous, and had been too good and doting to Yang Kaige and the others!

So they were spoiled and turned into a group of spineless parasites!

"You want to take care of your own little family. I understand if you want to separate. I agree."

Hu Cuifen knew that there was no room for maneuver in the matter of dividing the family, so she said, "It's just that Yang Kaige and the other two are still young, and your brothers especially need to build houses and get married, and your sister's dowry, all of which require your support. From now on, mother doesn't want you to bring more money home, just give me half of your salary every month!"

Yang Kaixuan was almost laughing out of anger.

Taking out half of his salary every month seems like a great gift to him!

It seems like he should give all his salary to his family!

Yang Kaixuan said: "Mom, I am a brother, not a father. Whether they get married or not has nothing to do with me!"

Hu Cuifen: “…”

She was almost choked to death by Yang Kaixuan's words!

She suppressed her anger, wiped away her non-existent tears and acted pitifully: "Kaixuan, what's wrong with you? Have you really been bewitched by that vixen? Back then..."

"Mom, what vixen? Why are you talking so harshly? That's my wife. She's a vixen. What am I? King Zhou?"

Yang Kaixuan frowned and said in a cold voice: "You are my mother, I should respect you, but you are talking nonsense, then let's not talk about it, I will go back to the county now, and we will have less contact in the future!"

"Break the relationship!"

He walked away with a loud bang!

"Kaixuan, come back! Can't I just talk to you nicely?"

Hu Cuifen was immediately frightened.

The money is in Yang Kaixuan's pocket. If he is unwilling to pay, can you still snatch it back?

Yang Kaixuan was determined, and she was like a dog biting a hedgehog, with no way of knowing where to start.

She immediately chased after him, grabbed Yang Kaixuan's arm, and said, "Kaixuan, how much money can you get? Even if you don't help my brothers, you have to give me some money for my retirement!"

Yang Kaixuan said: "Five dollars a year!"

"Five dollars? So little?"

Hu Cuifen couldn't accept it.

It turned out that Yang Kaixuan's monthly salary and allowance of several dozen yuan was all given to her.

Yang Kaixuan said, "Mom, you still think it's too little? Yang Kaige and the others can also earn work points and make money. How about I take the same amount of pension they give you each year? Is that ok?"

Hu Cuifen suddenly felt like the sky was falling: "Kaixuan, what you gave is too little, five dollars, what can I do with it?"

The children are too lazy. The work points they earn in a year are not enough for their own food. They have relied on Yang Kaixuan for financial support before. How could they give her any money for her retirement?

"If you think it's too little, then five dollars is gone!" Yang Kaixuan said coldly.

Hu Cuifen was stunned when she heard this, and stared blankly at Yang Kaixuan as he rode away on his bicycle.

…

Yang Kaixuan took a day off to deal with family matters, so after leaving Team Yang, he did not rush back to the county town, but rushed to Hewan Team.

After all, he hadn't seen his wife and children for a long time and he missed them very much.

When Yang Kaixuan arrived at the Hewan Brigade, he saw that the loess road had turned into a neat asphalt road, and a group of children were running wildly on it!

Then, Lin Bingde's steady and powerful voice came from the brigade's loudspeaker: "Fellow villagers, the village has officially received electricity today. The money for pulling the wires, installing the meter and light bulbs is called the account opening fee, and it is six yuan per household."

"The dimmest bulb is 15 watts, and the brightest is 60 watts. You can choose which one you want, but don't just go for brightness. Bright bulbs use more electricity, and you'll have to pay more in the future!"

Yang Kaixuan was amazed.

During this period of time, the Hewan Brigade not only had its asphalt road paved, but also had electricity. This should be the first brigade in the entire Huaibian County to have electricity!

When we arrived at Hewan Village, we saw electricians tying cables casually to wooden poles, and then going door to door to connect the cables and install light bulbs.

It is the slack season during farming, and many villagers are smoking with their arms folded, watching the electrician work with great interest.

Yang Kaixuan pedaled his bicycle twice and rushed over, smiling and saying, "Electricity is on? Isn't this the first time that the Hewan Brigade is moving towards light and modernization?"

"Here comes the triumph!"

"Wow, Captain Yang is really good, he even rides a bicycle!"

"smoke!"

Everyone greeted each other warmly and passed out cigarettes.

"Hit mine, hit mine!"

Yang Kaixuan was the son-in-law who came to live with the family, so there was no way he would smoke everyone's cigarettes. Instead, he took out a pack of Hongshuangxi cigarettes and shared them with everyone.

One villager smiled and smoked a cigarette: "Our brigade was the first to get electricity, all thanks to your brother-in-law Lin Zhengjun! It was mainly to provide electricity to the collective food cooperative, and we all benefited from it!"

"That's right! Zhengjun has set up this collective cooperative, the road has been repaired, electricity has been connected, and a well has been drilled. The brigade is changing every day!"

"Now, the number of matchmakers coming to our Hewan Brigade to propose marriages has suddenly increased. From young men of 17 or 18 to older men in their twenties, they have all become the targets of matchmakers' inquiries! In just one week, three families have made engagements!"

"There's not enough for the young guys! Even the bachelors in their thirties and forties are asking about it, hahahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and their faces were beaming with joy.
