"Da Ya, quickly call him Grandpa, this is your real grandpa."
Zhao Youcai's head was buzzing.
I haven't even sorted out this pile of rare items at home yet, and now a bunch of smaller rare items have arrived?
Was the original owner's eldest daughter married into the next village? I've never heard of her working in some illegal coal mine. How come it's so dark?
Hmm, something's not right.
Zhao Youcai quickly seized the fleeting thought in his mind and asked a question with precision and ruthlessness.
"Didn't your husband go to the neighboring Heilongjiang province to work with an engineering team to drill for oil? Did you go with him?"
Zhao Chunhua hurriedly shook her head, "Dad, you don't know, Sun Tiezhu is not a worker at all. His family committed marriage fraud."
Zhao Youcai fell into deep thought.
The original owner married his eldest daughter, Zhao Chunhua, to Sun Tiezhu from the next village without even blinking, mainly because he heard that the other party had a good job.
Although the original owner of this body had a severe preference for sons over daughters, Zhao Chunhua was still his first child. Even though she was a daughter, she still held a certain place in his heart.
Not to mention that before Zhao Chunhua got married, she helped the original owner a lot at home, which is why the original owner arranged this good marriage for her eldest daughter.
Logically speaking, Sun Tiezhu's family should be well-off, but what exactly is the marriage fraud that Zhao Chunhua mentioned earlier?
Before marrying off her daughter, the original owner of this body had personally visited the neighboring village.
If it were truly a marriage fraud, would the entire village unite to do something so unscrupulous?
Just like his sons, who in the village doesn't know what kind of people they are?
How could a family like Sun Tiezhu's not have any enemies in the village?
It seems I'll have to go to Sunjia Village to find out what's going on when I get the chance.
Zhao Chunhua wiped away the tears that wouldn't stop flowing, and tried her best to keep her voice from trembling as she recounted what happened back then.
“The Sun family did have a worker quota, but it didn’t go to Tiezhu at all. That quota was reserved for his grandson by his grandfather. Tiezhu just went to fill that worker spot before his cousin on his uncle’s side came of age, so that the higher-ups wouldn’t give the worker quota to someone else.”
Zhao Youcai roughly understood what was going on from her not-so-detailed explanation.
"So Sun Tiezhu was a temporary worker, and when the permanent staff reached the age to start their jobs, he packed up and came back, is that what you mean?"
Zhao Chunhua nodded vigorously in agreement, while Zhao Youcai remained silent.
I couldn't help but sigh again, thinking how many trivial things happened in the original owner's family every day.
Just then, Zhao Youcai heard his eldest daughter's belly making a loud rumbling sound. He didn't say much, but stood in the yard and shouted.
"Who's home? Cook!"
Although it is said that a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup, since she has returned to her parents' home, her family should not treat her harshly.
The eldest son's wife put down her needlework, and the fourth son's wife also crawled out of the pigsty in the backyard.
But no matter how fast they moved, they couldn't outrun the second daughter-in-law, who was eager to find an opportunity to show off.
She was genuinely afraid that the Zhao family would unite and force her to leave.
After this experience, she finally understood that her family was unreliable and that she could only rely on herself.
"Sister-in-law and fourth sister-in-law, you all go about your business, I'll cook."
Everyone else was stunned when they heard this. Had the second son's wife changed her ways? She had never even washed a dish before, let alone cooked.
Zhao Youcai neither agreed nor disagreed, but simply walked back to his room with his hands behind his back.
Just then, the third brother suddenly appeared out of nowhere and asked with a troubled look, "Dad, now that my eldest sister is back, there's no room for her. Where will she stay?"
Zhao Youcai scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "Let her stay in that ungrateful old man's room!"
Anyway, that little bastard Lao Yao has never come back since leaving the village, so his house can be temporarily left for his eldest daughter Zhao Chunhua and her two daughters to stay in.
Thinking of this, Zhao Youcai suddenly felt a little melancholy.
Making money is still too slow, and we still don't have enough space. Once our third son gets married and all the families have several kids, this little shabby yard will be overflowing with people!
While land is still readily available and difficult to obtain in the future, let's seize the opportunity to make as much money as possible and buy as much as we can.
We need to find a way to move out of the village, preferably to build a house and do business along the national highway.
There are quite a few truck drivers coming and going; after driving all that way, they must be looking forward to a hot meal.
These days, truck drivers all have government jobs, and they get plenty of money and ration coupons.
The more Zhao Youcai thought about it, the more reliable it seemed; this business really could be done.
We can start by taking a ride from a small food cart and buying something quick and easy to grab and go.
It won't cause traffic congestion, and it also allows us to take out and use the ingredients in the space.
These days, everyone has to bring their own lunchbox and chopsticks when they go out, otherwise what are they going to use to hold their food?
However, he still needs to study the candidates for doing business along the national highway.
It wasn't that Zhao Youcai didn't want to do it himself; it was just that he was too old and too lazy to bother.
Besides, the captain has also given him orders. He won't be as free as before, not able to go wherever he wants.
Let's put this matter aside for now and deal with the immediate problem first.
After what happened today, it's almost certain that Sun Tiezhu's family will come to Zhao Jiagou to cause trouble.
Zhao Youcai sat on a small stool, stroking his chin and frowning as he began to think of a solution.
First of all, he couldn't just sit at home and wait for the Sun family to come to his door.
His yard had already been vandalized once by his second daughter-in-law's family. If his eldest son-in-law's family came knocking on his door again, would Zhao Youcai still have any face left?
