Chapter 7 Lifesaver
Song Xiangqian's old face also stretched out.
Song Chuman tried to hold back her laughter again.
Song Xiangqian gave Li Cuicui a look.
Li Cuicui had no choice but to compromise, "Alright, I'll do as you say." She was worried that the eldest wife's family would really rely on her, and that she would be implicated and hurt by that unlucky person.
Song Hexiu glanced at the others and seeing that they had no objections, he no longer hesitated and wrote the separation document himself.
After both sides pressed their fingerprints, it was already dark.
They can only wait until tomorrow to go to the government office to register and have the document stamped with the official seal.
After dinner, Song Hexiu took his family back to his house.
Of course, the eldest family had been divided up, so they built a small stove and cooked food in a clay pot, which was the simplest porridge.
Song Hexiu thought about how his daughter had stared at the food for a long time before eating it. He touched her head and said softly, "Aman, Daddy knows I've wronged you. After we move, Daddy will buy you some meat, okay?"
Song Chuman knew that since she was still living in the old Song family, she couldn't eat the meat even if her father bought her. She nodded sensibly, "Well, I'll listen to you. But where are we going to live next?"
Song Hexiu thought about it and felt that with his current strength and money, it was impossible to build a house in a short period of time.
But it's February now, and it's very likely to snow. It's really not the right time for my family to move out.
Song Hexiu was a little conflicted. "If we move now, I'm worried you won't be able to handle it. Your mother is pregnant."
Song Chuman pointed to the mountain and said crisply, "There's a huge cave over there. Wild animals rarely come here. Let's move there temporarily. Besides, our land is not far from the cave, so we can keep an eye on it when the time comes."
She knew her father's concerns. He only had a few hundred coins in his hand, which was not enough to buy the materials for building the house, let alone the wages for the workers.
If I continue to stay here, although the living quarters will be better, it is only a little bit better, and I will definitely be targeted by the old couple and the other second wives, which will make my life even worse.
Although the cave is very humid, it is still possible to stay there for a short period of time as long as you keep the fire lit, use high temperature to bake the cave, and pay attention to ventilation.
Living in the cave is only temporary. She has a golden finger and should be able to make money to build a house soon.
The Xuanling Kingdom government stipulates that people who temporarily have no place to live can temporarily live in a cave, but the time cannot exceed five years.
Even if you live in a cave, you still have to pay the taxes you owe.
Song Hexiu opened the window and glanced in the direction his daughter pointed. He shuddered at the biting cold wind and closed the wooden window again. He turned to look at his family, "But the conditions there are really too bad."
Sheng Shuwan advised: "Aman's father, I am not afraid of poor conditions. As long as our family is together, I am not afraid of anything."
She never wanted to experience again the feeling of being locked in the house, knowing that her daughter was being dragged away to die, but unable to do anything.
If she stayed here any longer, the old couple would definitely target her two children.
Song Chuhuai also said: "I'm not afraid of anything either. The cave is great. It's quieter there. We don't have to be woken up every morning to do our work."
Song Hexiu looked at the determined eyes of his wife and children, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Song Chuman suddenly asked, "Mother, who was it that saved me that day?"
