In addition, Old Mrs. Wang was unwilling to share a room with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and the house only had two extra rooms, which were not enough for them to live in.
After discussing it, Chi Qing and Qiao Ya told their parents that since the ground was about to be disturbed and it was no longer suitable for anyone to live in the house, they should all move to the ancestral hall.
Huang Dani was naturally happy to see it happen. She had already grown to dislike Old Lady Wang, but out of consideration for her daughter-in-law and to avoid making things difficult for her, she didn't break off the relationship.
Now that her son and daughter-in-law are saying they want to move out, she's overjoyed and immediately started moving their things out without even asking any questions.
Of course, she was moving tables, chairs, cupboards, and other similar items.
Old Mrs. Wang was somewhat dissatisfied, but she also valued her life.
She was worried that because of her age, she wouldn't have time to escape from the house in case of an earthquake.
So, reluctantly, I agreed.
There are currently two spacious places in Chijia'ao that can accommodate people to live.
One place is at the entrance of the village, specifically in Chijia'ao Village, in the open space in front of the ancestral hall of the Chi clan.
Another place is near Chiyu's house, located between the two villages. It is a large, flat area that was used to dry furs and grains in previous years.
However, as time went on, more and more people dared not stay at home and moved out to live in open spaces.
Gradually, both places became home to people.
Meanwhile, the living space for Wang Laotai and others, who originally had more spacious living areas, has become smaller and smaller.
That's why Grandma Wang was unhappy.
Of course, she didn't dare say that she thought the place was too small.
She dared not confront the people of Chijia'ao who were giving her unfriendly looks.
She knew that the reason these people were looking at her like that was because everyone in Chijia'ao had mobilized and contributed their share in order to survive.
Only she refused to help, citing her age and the fact that she wasn't from Chijia'ao.
Of course, the official explanation was that she was in poor health, and everyone in the Wang family except her had helped out.
So even though the people of Chijia'ao were dissatisfied, they didn't say anything in the end, but their gazes towards her weren't very friendly.
Wang, who wanted to gain respect without contributing anything, started to feel resentful after enduring several days of disdain and seeing her own space shrinking.
She was already twenty-six, and the earthquake hadn't happened yet, but she started making a fuss about wanting to go back.
Wang Qiaoya had been busy with everyone these past few days, and finally the "wall" was built. Just when she could finally rest, she saw her grandmother making a fuss, and she was furious.
Seeing that her younger siblings and father all disagreed, she was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw her unreasonable mother, instead of helping to persuade them, say to her father:
"Honey, shall we go back?"
Look, Mom is getting old. As her children, we should be filial and not disobey our elders.
It wasn't easy for your mother, a simple woman, to raise you to adulthood.
Given that we've been away from home for a long time, it's understandable that she wants to go home.
You all keep saying there will be an earthquake, and you're all busy doing this and that, but it's been so long and nothing has happened yet.
In my opinion, the appearance of so many wild animals is mostly due to the arrival of spring.
If those things need to be bred, wouldn't they all have to come out?
It got hotter than usual this year. I guess it's because there was a lot of rain and snow last year, and this year is a dry year.
If that's the case, we should go back even earlier.
Chijia'ao is located at a high altitude, making water access inconvenient.
"We have a river in Wangwan, and the terrain is lower than this, so even if there's a drought, we won't be afraid..."
