Su Xieqiu glanced at her and said unceremoniously, "Auntie, do you want me to show you our separation agreement?"
"Oh, I'm just asking casually, why are you angry? Since you were kicked out of the house, how did you have the money to buy so many bricks?"
The woman was extremely shameless, and she seemed not to have noticed Su Xieqiu's sarcasm, and she was still asking questions with a grin on her face.
"Where does our family's money come from? Do I have to report to you what I bought? Who do you think you are? How dare you be so shameless?"
The woman's face fell when she heard her speak so harshly.
Su Xieqiu was not afraid of her. She pinched her waist, looked at those gossipers with a fierce face, and said:
“Although my mother-in-law passed away early, we still have my grandfather and uncle to help us, and my husband has a formal job, so why can’t he buy bricks and build a house?
I warn you, if anyone ever makes up stories about my man not doing his job properly and calls him a gangster, I will sit at your door every day and curse you.
Su Xieqiu originally wanted to tear their mouths apart, but when she thought about her small frame, she knew she would definitely not be able to defeat those big and strong old women, so she had no choice but to curse anyone who offended her.
Those women didn't believe her at all. When they heard her bragging that her men were not gangsters and had formal jobs, they all smiled with their lips curled.
But they didn't ask any further. They all heard from Yang Lanhua that Han Zhenyu's wife had a mental problem and would beat people and burn houses at any time.
They didn't dare to provoke such a person. What if this woman had a seizure and set their house on fire at night?
Is there anyone who can go and reason with a madman?
Su Xieqiu saw that although these people looked a little disdainful, they all shut up. She thought her threats had worked, but she didn't know that they thought she was a psychopath.
She snorted and went back to the brigade headquarters with her head held high.
When Han Zhenyu arrived in Dujiatun, his grandfather and his family were having lunch.
"Grandma, grandpa, uncle, aunt, I'm here." Han Zhenyu parked his bicycle in the yard and shouted into the house.
"Hey, Zhenyu, aren't you going on a business trip? Why haven't you left yet? Has something happened?" Uncle Du hurried out and asked.
"Uncle, it's nothing. I won't leave until tomorrow night." He ran to the kitchen and filled a bucket of water before saying, "I'm going to build a house. I want you and my grandfather to help look after it."
At this time, the whole family came out of the room, and his two cousins and one cousin greeted him happily.
Han Zhenyu smiled and said, "I came in a hurry today and didn't bring you any snacks. I'll bring you some roast chicken next time I come."
My eldest cousin Du Zhonghua said, "Brother, we don't like to eat those. Don't waste your money in the future."
Han Zhenyu smiled and patted his shoulder. "Zhonghua is becoming more and more sensible. When we slept in the same bed, you often peed on me. In the blink of an eye, you are already 16."
His words made the whole family laugh, and his little cousin Du Zhongjun even clapped his hands and laughed at his elder brother.
Du Zhonghua said angrily: "Brother, you are talking nonsense. When did I pee on you?"
Chen Yufen smiled and shook her head, then asked her daughter to get the dishes and chopsticks.
Grandpa Du said, "It's so sunny outside, let's go inside and talk."
Grandma Du saw Han Zhenyu's face full of sweat and said distressedly: "It's so hot today, why don't you take a nap at home before coming over."
Han Zhenyu held her hand and said with a smile: "Grandma, I have split up the family business and I am going to build my own house."
"What's going on? When was the division? Why didn't they let us go for such a big event?" Grandpa Du frowned and asked, "What did that beast give you?"
"Grandpa, I don't want his things. I'm leaving with nothing." Han Zhenyu told his grandparents about the division agreement. "I don't want to be involved with that family anymore, so this division is very clean."
"Then why are you still building a house in the village? You will be converted to a regular employee soon, and the factory should be able to provide you with a dormitory by then, right?" said my uncle Du Xianyong.
Han Zhenyu thought about it and told his grandparents about Su Xieqiu’s refusal to leave.
"She doesn't like the city and wants to live in the countryside. I also think the city is not as comfortable as the countryside. There are so many people living on one floor of the factory, there are many conflicts between neighbors, and the children are very noisy. I can't rest well at night."
Everyone in the family knew that he was independent-minded and no one said anything.
Grandma Du sighed and said, "Bring the girl here when you're free so we can see her. You two have been married for several months, and I still don't know what my grandson's wife looks like."
When Han Zhenyu got married, they didn't hold a wedding banquet or notify relatives and friends. The two of them just went to get a marriage certificate and suppressed the matter.
"Grandma, I'll bring her to see you when I come back." Han Zhenyu said with a smile.
"Let's eat first. Zhenyu must be hungry." Chen Yufen served a bowl of rice and placed it in front of him.
"Thank you, aunt." Han Zhenyu didn't hesitate and started eating with chopsticks.
He has lived here for five years. Both his grandparents and his uncles and aunts have been very kind to him, and he has long regarded this place as his home.
Grandpa Du waited until he put down his bowl and chopsticks before asking, "Has the foundation been approved? How are you going to build it?"
"It has been approved. I plan to build four brick houses. Grandpa and my uncle will help me find some skilled craftsmen. The wages are 80 cents a day. It would be best if it is closer to our village. I don't plan to provide meals. If it is closer, they can go back for lunch."
Grandpa Du and Uncle Du both felt that the wages were a bit high.
"You don't have to order that much for food. Seventy cents a day is enough," said Uncle Du.
Han Zhenyu shook his head and said, "Uncle, just 80 cents. There are ten people in our village. The price has been agreed upon. Can you help me find a few more bricklayers?
My wife and I have moved out of the Han family and are now living in the brigade headquarters, where there is only an adobe house without even a kang. We have to move in before it snows.
Uncle Du calculated the accounts carefully and figured that if he paid them an extra dime a day, those people would definitely work harder, so in fact, the total amount would be about the same.
"Well, 80 cents is fine. I'll make sure they work quickly. It should be done in a month. I'll go talk to your uncle this afternoon. There are a few bricklayers in their village who are pretty good at their craft. We can hire them when the time comes."
Han Zhenyu said, "Uncle, I was going to talk to my uncle, but since you're going over there, I won't go that way. I still have a lot of things to do at home."
"Okay, you go back and do your work, and leave the rest to me and your uncle." Grandpa Du waved his hand and said.
Han Zhenyu nodded, and then said to the two of them: "Grandpa, uncle, when you go there tomorrow, bring a change of clothes and bedding. You will live there and help me look at the materials."
"Okay, got it. Just drive slowly."
