Chapter 49 It Will Definitely Get Better
As soon as Tang Jinhong got off work, he was called over by his old mother.
"What's wrong, Mom? Are you feeling unwell?" Tang Jinhong asked with a worried look on his face.
"I'm fine!"
Old Mrs. Tang didn't care about the fact that her son left her on the bed and went to work in the morning, and she got straight to business.
"The second brother resigned. Didn't the factory say they would take back the East Room?"
Tang Jinhong shook his head. "I haven't heard about it. I've been too busy recently and haven't paid attention to it."
"The factory probably didn't take over the room because of your kindness."
Mrs. Tang whispered, "The second son wants a divorce and won't come back to live here anymore. We can't let Jinhua and those two unlucky girls live in this house for nothing."
Tang Jinhong was silent for a moment: "... driving them away, isn't that a bad idea?"
"What's wrong with that?" Old Mrs. Tang said with her triangular eyes drooping, "If Jinhua finds another man in the future, can she still bring him to live here?"
Tang Jinhong: “That’s not good.”
"According to what was said before, Jinhua has been divorced. She is no longer a member of our Tang family! How can she live with her father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
Old Mrs. Tang has already made a plan. "Let them move out and vacate the east room. Your father and I will live there, and you, your wife, and Limei, the three of you, will live here. It's so spacious and exciting! If we squeeze so many people in like now, no one will feel comfortable."
Tang Jinhong was very excited. The west room was 60 square meters. If only the three of them lived there, it would be absolutely beautiful.
Limei has always wanted to have her own independent little space, and now it can finally come true.
But the question is - "What if they refuse to move out?"
Tang Jinhong felt that Tang Xueli would definitely not agree easily, as she was not an easy person to deal with.
"If they don't want to move, then they don't have to. This is the factory's house, not theirs. They don't have the final say."
Old Mrs. Tang gave her son some advice, "Go talk to them first. If they refuse to leave, ask the factory to take back the house. Then you can talk to the factory again and ask for the east room back. Your wife is also an employee of the factory. Although you are a couple, it is reasonable to have an extra room! You are a leader after all. I don't think it will be a big problem."
Tang Jinhong thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I understand."

Xia Jinhua went with Tang Jincai to get a certificate to apply for a divorce in the morning. They ran to several places and caught a cold. She isn't feeling well.
She closed her stall after selling for more than two hours in the afternoon and went home to make some ginger soup for herself.
I had just taken two sips when Tang Jinhong came over.
"Sister-in-law, do you have a cold?" Tang Jinhong greeted.
"No, I'm just trying to prevent a cold." Xia Jinhua poured a cup of hot water for Tang Jinhong, "Brother, please sit down."
"I won't sit down anymore. I just want to tell you something." Tang Jinhong cleared his throat, looking a little embarrassed. "Well... Lao Er resigned, and the factory wants to take back this east room. You see, you and Lao Er are not living together anymore, so you should find another place to move out as soon as possible!"
Xia Jinhua was stunned for a long while, then replied stupidly: "Oh... OK."
"If you need any help from me, just tell me." Tang Jinhong said a few polite words and left.
Xia Jinhua has been busy setting up the stall and taking care of the children recently and has completely ignored this issue.
She held Sisi in her arms and looked around the room.
Do we have to leave here?
Having lived here for so many years, although there have been many disappointments, I also have many, many good memories.
Sisi's three sisters all grew up here.
In this small house, I learned to call mom and learned to walk.
The three sisters played and fought, leaving behind a lot of laughter.
Xia Jinhua stopped reminiscing. There was no end to the memories. She stopped in time, stood up and started packing her luggage.
Fortunately, she made some money from setting up the stall, and after borrowing two hundred from Tang Jincai, she still had a little left.
It shouldn't be a problem to go out and rent a small house.
When sadness came over her, she told herself not to be sad and that things would get better in the future.
Tang Limei went home as soon as school was over. She screamed with excitement when she learned that she would soon have her own independent little space.
"Really? Really? Am I going to have my own room?"
"I want to make my room into a princess' room!"
"Dad, please ask a carpenter to make me a bigger desk. This one is too small and can't hold my books."
In fact, she wanted to put a bigger mirror to make it easier for her to dress up.
"Also, I want my own clothes rack. Now my clothes are stacked and all wrinkled when I wear them."
Tang Jinhong was in a good mood and agreed with a smile, "Okay, you'd better do a few more questions on the new desk and improve your grades."
"No problem, with my new desk, I'll definitely be able to get into a top university!"
Tang Limei took out a notebook and pen and began to design her new room.
The bed should be moved over here, the desk should be in front of the window, and the clothes rack should be at the door...
Jia Zhenzhen also smiled from ear to ear and whispered to Tang Jinhong, "It's our mother who has thought of this very carefully. We have been busy all day and never thought of this!"
Tang Jinhong nodded in agreement, "Old ginger is still spicy."
Tang Xueli stayed after school and asked a few physics questions.
Teacher Yan explained in great detail, and in order to help Tang Xueli fully understand this knowledge point, he also gave her a few questions to do.
I had been cooking for over an hour without realizing it, and it was already dark when I got home.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Tang Xueli entered the room and saw large and small bags on the floor.
The closet was open and all the clothes inside were taken out.
The summer quilts were neatly folded and piled at the head of the bed.
While packing, Xia Jinhua said, "The factory is taking back the house. Your father resigned, so it's only natural."
Tang Xueli held her mother's hand, asked her to stop, and asked softly, "Who told you that?"
"Don't worry, Xueli. Mom still has some money on hand. It's no problem to rent a small house."
Xia Jinhua was afraid that her daughter would be scared, so she cheered herself up and said, "You and Shuangshuang have some money, too. If you want to live in a more spacious place, you can pay some money first and we can rent a better place. After a while, I'll give you the money."
Xia Jinhua can live anywhere, but she is afraid of letting her children down.
No matter how old a daughter is, she is still her mother’s child. It is a mother’s responsibility to provide her with a stable, spacious and comfortable home.
So she didn't want to use her daughters' money. If the money was not enough at the moment, she could borrow it first, but she must return the money to her daughters in the future.
This is Xia Jinhua’s simple idea.
Tang Xueli squeezed her mother's slightly rough hand and said, "Mom, we don't have to move."
"Why?" Xia Jinhua was stunned, thinking that her daughter didn't understand what she meant. "This is the factory's house. Your father resigned and wants to take it back."
Tang Xueli smiled and said, "Housing reform is going to happen, and a new system for employees to buy houses will be implemented soon. I want to buy both this east room and the room that Bai Lianxin lived in before. I have already informed the factory, so we don't have to move out."
