Yang Dahua, Shi Xiaoli and Shi Weiqiang were stunned when they saw Shi De nod.
What is going on?
Especially Yang Dahua, who picked up her chopsticks and threw them at him: "You old coward, nodding your head for no reason, your son wants to live alone and won't support you anymore, and you still nod your head, are you sick in the head?"
After scolding Shi De, she slammed the table and said stubbornly, "I don't agree with this."
How can we divide the family?
This is not Yang Dahua’s future plan.
She had two plans: either to keep the silly girl and blackmail Shi Zhentang for the rest of his life, or to marry Lu Juanjuan with Shi Zhentang to pave the way for her daughter Shi Xiaoli to enter the city.
As a result, neither of these two options worked, and the family had to split up.
How can that be?
Yang Dahua's face turned ashen, and she looked as if there was no way this matter would be accomplished unless she agreed.
But Shi Zhentang simply replied to her indifferently: "It doesn't matter whether you agree or not, I'm just letting you know."
These words almost made Yang Dahua choke and vomit blood: "Zhentang, how can you be so cruel? Not only did you divide the family, but you also took your eldest brother and his wife away. You want me, your father, your brothers and sisters to starve to death."
"It seems that all of you are supported by the eldest couple?" Lu Huanying knew that she had to be the one to quarrel with Yang Dahua. The old lady had been standing at the door of the cottage for a long time.
She wouldn't let Zhentang quarrel with that woman, it would be embarrassing.
The old lady's words angered Yang Dahua: "No matter what, Weimin is my biological son. I don't believe he would be willing to live with you instead of me."
After choking, he turned around and looked at Shi Weimin...
She thought her eldest son would stand on her side, but what she saw was that he just lowered his head silently.
What's going on?
Yang Dahua was stunned: "Weimin, I am your mother. Have you forgotten that your grandmother has no blood relationship with you? You..."
"Milk."
Before she could finish her words, Shi Weiqiang beside her suddenly called out, "Can I go in and live with you too?"
Yang Dahua widened her eyes, oh my god, what an unfilial son!
She couldn't believe her ears: "Old Three, shut up."
"I just want to live with grandma and not with you. Second brother, do you agree?" Shi Weiqiang snorted and ignored Yang Dahua. He had had enough.
He couldn't stay in this house for even a day.
Shi Zhentang: “…”
The only person Yang Dahua could help now was Shi Xiaoli. Shi Xiaoli was yelling like crazy: "Big brother, third brother, where are your brains? Mom is our biological mother, have you forgotten?"
"I didn't forget, it was my mother who forgot that I was her biological son." Shi Weiqiang retorted.
Soon, the two siblings started arguing.
Shi Zhentang felt there was no need to stay here any longer.
He said everything he needed to say, and then helped his grandmother back to the cabin to rest. He had to go to the commune to approve the foundation.
Seeing that no one could be trusted, yet the other person was about to leave as if nothing had happened, Yang Dahua had no choice but to quickly say, "Zhentang, why are you so hard-hearted? Can't you see how I've treated you and your grandmother over the years? Fine, if you want to go out and live on your own, then you have to give me an explanation. How are you going to provide for your father and me in our old age?"
"Yang Dahua, you are so shameless that you even have the nerve to ask Guan Zhentang for retirement support?" Lu Huanying was furious. If she were ten years younger, she would definitely go out and smash the face of that shrew.
Shi Zhentang signaled his grandmother to calm down. Without even turning his head, he said, "I'm my father's son. I do have an obligation to give him three yuan a month for food. Don't worry, I'll have my eldest brother transfer it to him. As for you... it's none of my business."
"What? Only three dollars?"
It used to be twenty-five dollars a month, but suddenly it became three dollars.
This is not just about cutting off Yang Dahua's flesh, but about taking her life.
Yang Dahua immediately wanted to get off the kang and throw a tantrum, but unexpectedly, Shi De, who was always submissive, held her back tightly: "Stop it, it's us who are sorry for Zhentang."
"What are you talking about? How have I wronged him?"
Yang Dahua cried and made a fuss, causing chaos in the whole house.
She scolded Shi Zhentang, then scolded Shi Weimin and his wife for being heartless, then turned to scold Shi Weiqiang. What she hated most was the coward Shi De in front of her.
In short, I can't stay at home for a moment.
Shi Zhentang asked Grandma and Su Zhen to stay in the hut with the two children and not go out, and he took the silly girl to the company.
The main reason was that I was afraid that Yang Dahua would cry and make a fuss and scare the silly girl.
The two men walked out of the broken courtyard, their feet making a crunching sound in the snow.
Tian Yuzhu silently took in the man's solemn expression.
She felt that he was not happy about the separation. He hated Yang Dahua so much, but when facing his father, he must have felt somewhat conflicted.
Involuntarily, she raised her hand and took his big hand.
There was nothing she could do but express her empathy.
Shi Zhentang was stunned for a moment. The silly girl actually took the initiative to pull him.
He only felt the soft and boneless little hand in his palm. He didn't know whether the silly girl understood what he was doing, but a warm feeling was spreading in his heart.
So he didn't refuse, but instead held the little hand.
The silly girl raised her head and gave him a pure smile.
Shi Zhentang frowned and helped her pull her scarf. He suddenly felt that all the beauty in the world was in his fingers from this moment on.
…
After listening to Shi Zhentang's ideas, the village party secretary and commune secretary Zhang expressed their support.
As a cadre, it is not good to speak ill of others behind their backs, but Yang Dahua's reputation as a shrew is well-known.
Even her family, who lived not far away in the Second Commune, did not associate with her.
The village party secretary almost hurried to find a piece of paper and a pen: "Hurry up and write your application. Secretary Zhang is here now. He will approve it immediately."
Secretary Zhang said with a smile, "This is a good thing. Families aren't comfortable living together, so there's less conflict if they separate. Besides, everyone in the commune is on holiday right now, so there's plenty of manpower. Once we've approved the land, we can go to the second commune and bring back a few truckloads of bricks and tiles. We'll have them finish building your house as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Secretary."
No matter how urgent it is to build a house, there is no way to do it quickly. There are things to pay attention to, such as laying bricks and tiles, and letting them cool and dry for a few days after each step.
Shi Zhentang hoped that the house would be completed before he took Yuzhu back to the army, and that he could help his grandmother and the others move, so that he would feel at ease.
Soon the foundation was approved and the official seal was stamped.
Secretary Zhang also personally accompanied them back to Lao Shi's house and asked Yang Dahua and others to sign the household registration book.
Yang Dahua thought she was fearless, but she was afraid of Secretary Zhang, so she could only sign her name obediently.
From then on, there were two household registration books, and the two families were no longer at odds with each other.
Afterwards, Secretary Zhang asked someone to bring lime and mark the land line. There were three bungalows in a row, with a small courtyard in front. The land was not small in that era.
