Wu Er nodded vigorously, his eyes timid.
"Brother Jianguo... don't be angry... I'll definitely be more careful in the future..."
"I'm not angry."
Su Jianguo ruffled his hair, just like he used to do when he was a child.
"I was just worried about you. I'm just going back to the ward; I'm not leaving right now."
Upon hearing that Su Jianguo wasn't leaving, Wu Er's eyes lit up again.
On the way back to the ward, Wu Ermaitai kept talking about various things in the village, and Su Jianguo was not impatient at all, chatting with Wu Ermaitai the whole time.
...
At the same time.
Meanwhile, at Su Mingqiang's home.
Early in the morning, Su Mingqiang groggily opened his eyes and felt a warm, soft body in his arms.
He looked down and saw Li Jinhua with her back to him, her long, black hair spread out on the pillow. The madness of the previous night replayed in his mind.
"Golden Flower..."
Su Mingqiang's hand unconsciously went to his wife's waist.
Li Jinhua suddenly shrugged her shoulders, shook off his hand, and sat up.
Don't touch me!
Perhaps she had just woken up and forgotten her previous pretense.
Li Jinhua, after sobering up the dog, quickly put on a gentle expression again.
"I'm exhausted from last night, Mingqiang. Didn't we agree that we have important business to attend to today?"
Su Mingqiang awkwardly withdrew his hand, remembering his promise from last night, and immediately sobered up a bit.
"I just...missed you."
Su Mingqiang licked his chapped lips, his voice laced with flattery.
Li Jinhua fastened the last button and turned around with a smile on her face.
She walked to the bedside, leaned down and gently kissed Su Mingqiang's forehead.
"Fool, we'll have plenty of time once we have money."
Her fingers traced his cheek.
"The most important thing now is to go to the neighborhood committee office and get the family division settled."
Su Mingqiang's smile froze.
The matter of dividing the family property was easy to talk about, but it made him apprehensive about doing it.
At this time of year, it's usually only when an elderly person in the family passes away and there are several brothers that people start discussing dividing the family property.
It's extremely rare for a family to start arguing about dividing the property while the elderly are still alive.
"That... Jin Hua."
Su Mingqiang rubbed his hands together.
"How about we think of another way? I'm afraid that splitting up the family..."
"What are you afraid of?"
Li Jinhua's voice suddenly rose, then immediately fell back down, forcing a smile.
"Mingqiang, your father has already expelled you from the family register, what are you still worried about?"
She sat down next to him and took his hand.
"Besides, this is what you deserve. You're also a son of the Su family, why should all 30,000 yuan go to him? Did you suffer for nothing?"
"and."
Li Jinhua leaned close to his ear.
"With this money, we can have a child. Think about it, a child needs a decent home after birth, right? They can't possibly live with us in this tiny, run-down house."
child.
This word was like a fire, instantly igniting Su Mingqiang's heart.
"You're right! I'll go to the neighborhood office right now!"
A victorious smile spread across Li Jinhua's face, and she immediately handed her coat to Su Mingqiang.
"Hurry up and put it on. I boiled two eggs for you. Eat them and go right away. Go as soon as the neighborhood office opens to avoid queuing."
Su Mingqiang quickly got dressed and wolfed down the breakfast his wife had prepared.
Before he left, Li Jinhua straightened his collar and slipped a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes into his pocket.
"Don't be stingy if you need it."
Don't worry!
Su Mingqiang patted his chest and walked out the door with his head held high.
The neighborhood office wasn't far from their home; Su Mingqiang arrived there in less than half an hour.
At this time, a long queue had already formed in front of the neighborhood office, with residents coming to apply for various certificates.
Su Mingqiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood at the end of the line.
The sun gradually rose higher, making people dizzy and lightheaded.
Su Mingqiang kept checking his watch, growing increasingly anxious.
Finally, after waiting for nearly two hours, it was his turn.
"Hello, what service do you need?"
Behind the window, a female clerk in her forties asked without looking up.
Su Mingqiang was somewhat excited and spoke cautiously.
"Hello... comrade, I... I'm here to apply for a separate household."
The female clerk paused for a moment.
She looked up, adjusted her glasses, and carefully examined Su Mingqiang.
"Separate the family?"
Her voice was clearly filled with surprise.
"Aren't you... the head of Su Jianguo's family? Your father is still alive, why are you dividing the family property?"
Su Mingqiang was surprised that the other party knew him and immediately became flustered.
"It's...it's me. Big sister, you have such a good memory."
Sister Wang put down her pen, her brows furrowing even more deeply.
Does your father know you're planning to separate from the family?
"I know! Of course I know!"
Su Mingqiang nodded hurriedly, his voice unconsciously rising a few decibels.
"It's...it's Dad who sent me."
Sister Wang looked at him suspiciously, tapping her fingers lightly on the table.
"Su Mingqiang, dividing the family property is no small matter. Your father is in good health, and you brothers haven't divided the family property yet, so why do you suddenly want to?"
Su Mingqiang's forehead was already sweating. He took out the pack of Daqianmen cigarettes, pulled one out, and handed it over.
"Sister Wang, are you smoking..."
Sister Wang waved her hand and refused.
"Smoking is prohibited in the neighborhood committee. Could you please provide more details?"
Su Mingqiang awkwardly put away his cigarette, his mind racing.
"It's like this... I... I'm married, and I want to start my own household. Dad agreed, saying we should do it according to the rules..."
