I had no choice but to go to bed, cover myself with the quilt and sleep, pretending I couldn't hear it.

The eldest wife Qiao Juan said in the house: "When will this chaotic life end? It's so annoying to live in the same courtyard."

After hearing what his mother said, Luo Tao asked, "Mom, how much money do we have left? It would be great if we could buy another yard. My partner said he won't marry me without a house."

Qiao Juan sighed and said, "Not much. At the beginning, only your grandfather had a formal job. Our family was implicated and ended up on the farm. Your grandfather left early, and when he returned to the city, he only received two years' salary compensation according to the policy.

It also cost us some money to buy things for settling down. Your second uncle gave money to Qingshan Village when he brought Luo Bin back. We also gave some to your grandfather and others after we returned to the city.

There wasn't much left when we split up, and you guys spent some money on job transfers a few days ago. Mom only has about 300 yuan now, so I'm afraid it won't be enough to buy a yard."

Luo Tao whispered, "Three hundred is indeed a little less, but it should be enough to buy a room. I'll ask around when I have time to see if there's a suitable single-room house. I can't let my younger brothers and sisters be left without a place to live after I get married."

Qiao Juan thought that what her eldest son said was true. Without a house, the girl would definitely not want to marry him. But for the sake of her eldest son's marriage, she couldn't let the other children be left without a house.

Then he glanced at Luo Tiancheng who was sitting next to him: "His father, what do you think?"

Luo Tiancheng nodded: "Okay, let's take a look first, and buy one if there is a suitable one. We have to do it step by step."

Qiao Juan looked at her eldest son and said, "Taozi, has your partner ever mentioned anything about the betrothal gift?"

Luo Tao thought for a moment and said, "I haven't said anything specific. I just said that we should be like other families."

Luo Tao knew what his father was thinking: "Dad, Mom, don't be so anxious. We have to take it step by step. We can consider other things after we have a house. Besides, there are still several months until the end of the year for the four of us to earn wages, so we can save some more."

In Qingshan Village, Lu Yichen received a message from his grandfather, asking him to return to the capital, but he had not figured out how to deal with it. After returning from work, he sat in the yard thinking about things.

Thinking of the culprit who harmed him, he really wanted to skin him alive, but he couldn't do that. The reason he left the capital and came to such a far place was that he wanted to calm himself down.

I looked down at my leg again. What would happen if I went back? It would be better to stay here in peace. It was just a pity that I still had to worry about my grandpa at such an old age.

Luo Qiao finished cooking and didn't see Lu Yichen coming over, so she looked at Shitou who was reading a book on the side and said, "Shitou, go and see what Brother Lu is dawdling about."

After receiving the order, Shitou stood up and ran outside, but he saw his second uncle Sun and his family returning at the village entrance below.

After entering the yard, I saw Lu Yichen sitting in the yard: "Brother Lu, what are you thinking about? Sister Luo Qiao asked me to come over to see why you haven't come over yet. The meal has been cooked for a while."

Lu Yichen came back to his senses, looked at the sky, stood up and followed Shi Tou out of the yard.
