Chapter 105: Powerful Mother's Family
The land that the commune re-allocated to Gu Ye and Shen Zhiyou was near Shen Dahe's home, only 300 meters away in a straight line.
It used to be a landlord's warehouse, and after liberation it was used as a production team's warehouse.
But it was far from the fields, and after the production team rebuilt the warehouse, it became idle.
"It's in a good location, with good terrain and open space around it. It's also close to our home, so we can go and have a look at it anytime. When it's finished, you can come back when the children grow up and there'll be room for them to stay."
A room in the house must be reserved for my daughter.
It’s okay for the couple to live here now with their infant child, but it will be inconvenient if the child gets older.
Moreover, their family is large. Shen Zhiyou feels comfortable at home, but Gu Ye and the children may not be so comfortable.
"Don't worry about the house. The bricks and wood will be placed in the yard behind us. We will build the house in the spring. The location is large and we can add two more rooms. When the children grow up, they will have their own rooms."
Shen Dahe thought of everything that Gu Ye and Shen Zhiyou could think of.
But Gu Ye calculated it.
If we really want to build three rooms like this, there won’t be enough bricks and wood.
It’s already a lot of trouble for Youyou’s family, we can’t ask them to pay for the materials for building the house as well.
Who would have thought that upon hearing this, Chen Cuijuan immediately frowned and said, "We are all family, why are you being so polite? How much can those bricks cost? Besides, you have set up your own business now, and we are happy too. Just think of it as a gift from us as your parents."
Wang Xiulan's eyelids twitched.
Before I could say anything, my mother-in-law gave me a glare that killed me. "They all love Youyou. If you don't believe me, ask Guoqiang and Guowang what they think."
Shen Guoqiang really loves his sister, and this little money doesn’t matter to him.
What's more, Gu Ye is not a person who likes to take advantage of others. On the contrary, he would rather suffer losses himself than let others suffer losses.
Even if he took advantage here, he would make up for it in other ways later.
Not to mention Shen Guowang.
He had no opinion and even complained that the taste was not good enough!
If Shen Dahe hadn't been there to stop him, he would have wanted to rush up and punch that Gu Hu a few times when he was bullying his sister like this. It was so disgusting.
When it comes to action, take action.
After signing the separation agreement, Shen Guowang and his colleagues went to the production team's warehouse to borrow a sledgehammer and a cart.
Now Wang Xiulan is in charge of the production team’s warehouse, so borrowing tools is just a matter of a word.
Before Gu's father and the others could react, Shen Guowang and his men had already come with hammers, carts and trolleys to demolish the house!
Jin Fengyan was extremely anxious: "Why are you so anxious? We haven't even taken out our things yet."
"Then hurry up, this house originally belonged to my sister and brother-in-law, who knows whether the things inside belong to my sister and brother-in-law or yours."
Shen Guowang was so careless that Jin Fengyan was very angry.
Everyone gathered around to watch the fun.
After hearing what Shen Guowang said, they all smiled and followed suit: "Guowang's words make sense!"
Shen Guowang became even more arrogant, "Isn't it?"
To deal with shameless people like Jin Fengyan and her family, you can't follow the normal approach. You have to be even more shameless than her.
Shen Guowang has mastered the art of shamelessness.
Seeing Jin Fengyan and Gu Hu dithering, he went straight into the house and moved out the cabinets and other things and threw them on the ground.
The cabinet door was not closed tightly, and Gu Hu's large shorts with several patches fell out together with Jin Fengyan's vest and shorts.
"You're still saying you're feeling wronged. It's someone else's new house, and you guys are all in there with your underwear. Who knows what shameful things you did there? If I were Gu Ye and the others, I'd be so disgusted!"
"Yes, it's really shameless. As a brother and sister-in-law, you occupied your brother and sister-in-law's wedding room. If anyone tells me about it, I will be disgusted!"
The blood rushed to Jin Fengyan's face.
Gu Hu is even more so.
He was not convinced and walked up to Uncle Gu who was presiding over the division of the family. "Uncle, I've always been very kind to you, right? Is this how you treat us?"
Uncle Gu seemed to touch his white beard and looked at Gu Hu as if he was a fool.
After reading it, he looked at Father Gu again.
He couldn't understand why Gu's father would raise such a fool and treat this fool as a treasure, while pushing away Gu Ye, the most promising, best and most loving person in the family.
He also fantasized that he would end up like him, being kicked by a mule and picking up sesame seeds but losing the watermelon.
"Fool."
Gu Hu: “….”
"You are clever, but not wise. And you have a wife who only cares about the little benefits in front of her. Your cleverness has become a disadvantage."
After all, they are the younger generation who grew up in front of him, so Uncle Gu left them a word and let them figure it out on their own.
It is difficult to build a house, but easy to dismantle it.
In addition to the brothers Shen Guoqiang and Shen Guowang, Shen Zhiyou's cousins all came to help as they knew about it from somewhere.
There were almost ten young adults standing in a row, which was quite intimidating.
Jin Fengyan, who was cursing at first, became much more obedient after seeing this.
The original plan was to complete the demolition tomorrow, but with the help of Shen Zhiyou's cousins, it was done in half a day.
They even said with a smile: "You should have told me earlier. I don't have to work recently and I'm worried about where to put all my energy!"
"Don't worry, we will protect your new house in the future. If anyone dares to occupy Youyou's house again, wait, I'll see who dares!"
Shen Zhiyou's eldest cousin was as fierce as Chen Cuijuan, and he was tall and strong. When he said this, he glanced at Jin Fengyan and the others, and the whole family instantly became obedient.
When Uncle Gu saw this scene, he shook his head again.
What a fool! Gu Ye was promising and had always cared about his parents and brothers at home, but he married a wife whose family was so powerful.
Not only did they not please such a good son and daughter-in-law, but they were pushed out by Gu's father and mother.
However, it would be too late to say these things now.
They will regret it in the following decades.
After this matter was resolved, I spent the next few days celebrating the New Year at home and visiting relatives such as Shen Dahe and Chen Cuijuan.
The new daughter-in-law or son-in-law must give red envelopes when they visit their parents during the first Chinese New Year.
But they didn't come back the first year, and this year they came back with their two sons.
When going out, Shen Zhiyou still didn't understand why Chen Cuijuan insisted on making Tuantuan and Yuanyuan wear that old clothes with big pockets.
It was not until the two little guys' pockets were stuffed with cash and fruit candy peanuts that Shen Zhiyou couldn't help but sigh that Chen Cuijuan was really insightful!
But happy days are always extremely short. In a blink of an eye, the New Year is almost over and Shen Zhiyou and the others have to return to the army.
This time, Chen Cuijuan went with them again, and would come back after Tuantuan and Yuanyuan went to the nursery and had adapted to the environment.
On the day they were leaving, Shen Dahe had already packed all the things they needed to take back with them.
A big bag was also packed with the fish cakes and fish balls that Tuantuan and Yuanyuan liked, the cured fish that Shen Zhiyou liked, and the bean shreds that Gu Ye liked.
There are also dried dates and black beans given by Grandma Chen.
Although Shen Zhiyou always felt that she had recovered well, Grandma Chen still asked her to replenish her qi and blood in the next two years, eat more dates and black beans, and get more sleep and sun exposure.
When I came back, I carried one bag, and when I left, I carried two bags.
Wang Xiulan was even more excited as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
Just like Chen Cuijuan used to, she got up early in the morning to cook dumplings and steam buns.
Chen Cuijuan was puzzled by what she saw, and narrowed her eyes: "So happy?"
Wang Xiulan shrank her neck, "Mom, I just can't bear to leave you guys, right?"
It’s not known whether she was really reluctant to leave, but Goudan and Tiedan really couldn’t bear to leave their aunt and two little cousins.
She cried so hard that she blew several snot bubbles. "Aunt, when will you come back?"
