Chapter 7 House
Jiang Cuihua was so angry when she heard this that her forehead immediately flushed with blood: "Bullshit! Who in the village doesn't know that my daughter is a good person? Did your mother-in-law really treat you like this? Why didn't you tell me earlier that she bullied you like this?"
Jiang Cuihua had always thought that the Gu family started to treat Liu Yinyin badly after Gu Cheng passed away, but she never expected...
This is how the young lady has been living in the Gu family all this time?
"I... I don't dare." It's not a glorious thing. The original owner was weak in character and dared not tell such things to his family.
"This damn old woman!" Jiang Cuihua gritted her teeth. She was really stupid to give her daughter such a mother-in-law.
"Anyway, the child cannot be sent to the Gu family." Liu Yinyin suppressed the anger in her heart and said, "If they knew I was pregnant, they probably wouldn't admit that this child is the Gu family's flesh and blood."
Judging from the Gu family's behavior, they would definitely suspect that she had an affair with another man outside, which is why she is pregnant.
It would definitely not be easy for a child to live with his/her biological parents without them.
"What should I do? If I give birth to this child, you... you are a woman, how can you afford to raise a child in the future?"
Moreover, she was still thinking about finding a good home for her daughter. If she had a child, it would be difficult to arrange marriage in the future.
Liu Yinyin is quite optimistic: "It will only be difficult in the first two years. I still have some money, so I should be able to hold on."
Jiang Cuihua frowned and said, "Giving birth and raising a child is not as easy as you think."
Although it was cruel, she still thought it was better for the girl not to have children. After all, it was hard to imagine how difficult it would be for a woman to raise a child alone.
But Liu Yinyin was determined to have this child, so Jiang Cuihua couldn't persuade her any more, otherwise she was afraid that the girl would blame her in her heart.
"There's one more thing." Liu Yinyin was thinking about something else and asked, "Mom, I remember there seems to be an empty house in the village. Do you think if I ask the village chief, can he lend me the house?"
The family that Liu Yinyin mentioned was at the end of the village. An old man used to live there. The old man was quite pitiful, as he had no children or other relatives.
After the owner passed away two years ago, the house became empty.
However...there are many people in the village who are eyeing that house, and I don’t know if she can get it.
"What? You still want to move out?" Jiang Cuihua was frightened by her daughter's words and wondered, "There are rooms at home, why do you want to move out? Is it because of your second sister-in-law? Don't worry, I will talk to her later..."
"It's not because of my second sister-in-law. I'm not staying here for just one or two days." Liu Yinyin knew the situation at home and interrupted her, saying, "My third brother is also at the age to get married, but he is still sleeping on a bed in the main room. If he doesn't have a house, which girl would dare to marry him?"
The Liu family has four main rooms, one for Liu's father and mother, one for each of her two brothers, and the other one is where she lives now.
If Brother Liu San wants to get married, he really needs a place to live. He can't let a girl sleep with him in the living room, right?
As for Mrs. Liu Ersao, Liu Yinyin doesn't care what she thinks. Whether she is happy or not has nothing to do with her.
Jiang Cuihua groaned and said, "I have discussed it with your father. We will build another house behind the house when the time comes. You don't have to move out."
"Forget it, Mom. Think about it...If I give birth to a boy, I can't let him live at home forever, right? I'll find a house of my own and give him a home." Liu Yinyin really didn't want to drag her family down.
Life at home is really not easy. Third brother Liu wants to get married, and if he wants to build a house, how much money will that cost? Won't father and mother Liu have to borrow money from everywhere?
Why bother?
It would be better for Liu Yinyin to move out on her own. That would be better for everyone.
Seeing that Jiang Cuihua wanted to say something, Liu Yinyin continued to persuade her, "Mom, even if I move out, I will live in the same village, not far away. If you and Dad are worried, you can always come to see me."
Jiang Cuihua sighed when she heard this. What Liu Yinyin said made sense. It was not a long-term solution for the young lady to live at home all the time.
They are both old now, and one day they will be unable to do anything anymore. A young lady can't live under several brothers in the future, right?
"Then... let your father go ask the village chief. If it doesn't work, we won't mention it anymore. You can just stay at home and relax."
Liu Yinyin nodded quickly and said, "Well, as for Dad...I'll have to trouble Mom to talk to him about it."
Jiang Cuihua was an impatient person, and she told Liu Laifu about the matter during the lunch break.
Liu Lai Fu was also not happy when he learned that his daughter was pregnant, but as a grown man, he could not say much.
In the evening, Liu Yinyin helped to light the fire in the kitchen.
After Liu Laifu got off work, he called his daughter out and said to her, "The village chief has also gotten off work now. Come with me to the village chief's house to ask about the house."
"Hey." Liu Yinyin was excited and nervous when she heard this. On the way, she couldn't help but ask her father, "Dad, do you think the village chief can agree to lend me the house?"
Father Liu glanced at her and asked, "Do you really want to move out?"
Otherwise, why would he be so excited to see the lady?
Liu Yinyin: “…”
He put away the smile on his face and said with a smile: "How can that be possible? Living outside is not as comfortable as living at home."
No way!
Liu Yinyin was just talking nonsense in all seriousness. In fact, she had been thinking about moving out for a long time.
Not for anything else, just for freedom. She has a system, and she can openly use a stove for herself when she lives alone.
The house at the end of the village is quite good. There is only one house on that piece of land, and it is quite far away from other houses in the village.
From now on, it wouldn’t be easy for her to be discovered when she makes something delicious in there.
Liu Laifu was silent for a long time before he said, "If someone else asks the village chief for that house, it would probably be impossible, but you... maybe you can really borrow it."
Liu Yinyin was puzzled: "Why?"
Why can't others do it, but she can?
"The village chief." Liu Laifu sighed, "He was a soldier before."
Liu Yinyin: “…”
Oh, she never thought that Gu Cheng’s identity would one day bring such benefits to her and the baby in her belly.
The village chief's house is the only one of two blue brick houses in Liujia Village. It is surrounded by adobe houses and looks quite impressive at first glance.
When Liu Yinyin and her father arrived at the village chief's house, they happened to see the village chief Liu Changquan sitting under the eaves to rest with a long cigarette in his hand.
"Village chief."
Liu Lai Fu greeted them and led Liu Yinyin in.
