After saying that, Chu Tian turned around and left, taking the gold bar he had just received, the six hundred and thirty-six yuan, the six hundred and thirty-six yuan compensated to him by Chu Wen, the two hundred yuan compensated to him by Liu Zhaodi, and, oh, the six hundred and thirty-six yuan from Chu Min, the second oldest son of the Chu family.
After talking nonsense with them for so long, Chu Tian was already starving, but he still gained a lot. He thought, if he could get more than a thousand yuan just by talking nonsense every day, he really wanted to talk nonsense with them every day...
Chu Wen and Chu Jun looked at each other. Chu Jun gestured for Chu Wen to go forward and say something to Liu Zhaodi. Chu Wen lowered his eyes and pretended not to see it.
“·····”
Seeing that Chu Wen didn't move, Chu Jun hesitated for a moment and moved to Liu Zhaodi's side, hesitatingly persuading her, "Mom, no, it's getting late, why don't you go and rest first?"
Liu Zhaodi looked up at her timid eldest son and her beloved third son. Thinking of the scene Chu Tian had caused and how neither of her two sons had stopped him, she suddenly felt extremely exhausted physically and mentally. She reached out and took the box Chu Tian had placed on the bench. Without saying a word, she carried the box back to the bedroom.
Seeing this, Chu Wen hurriedly took his two children who were huddled in the corner, took one in each hand and walked out of the main room, leaving Chu Jun standing there motionless for a long time looking at the mess in the main room.
"Brother Tian, come and eat."
When Yao Xiujuan saw Chu Tian coming back, she quickly took out the porridge and pancakes that had been kept warm, as well as half a bowl of steamed egg cake from the pot.
Chu Tian took the meal with a smile, and before eating, he asked, "Ah, I'm really starving. Have you and Wu Ya eaten yet?"
Yao Xiujuan sat across from him and said, "She's already eaten. Wu Ya finished eating and fell asleep early."
"Well, that's good."
After dinner, Chu Tian did not clean up the dishes, nor did he ask Yao Xiujuan to do so. There was no bucket or water in the house. If he wanted to wash the dishes, he would have to go outside to shovel snow and melt it to wash them, or go to the kitchen to wash them. Forget it, it’s not troublesome enough, so he might as well wash them tomorrow.
"What? Really broke up?"
Yao Xiujuan, who was lying on the bed preparing to sleep, sat up instantly when she heard what Chu Tian said and looked at Chu Tian in disbelief.
Chu Tian pulled Yao Xiujuan down and said, "Well, but today we only divided the money. Our family got 636 yuan. Add the 636 yuan that my third brother gave me as compensation and the 200 yuan that mother gave us. Now our family has 1,472 yuan."
After a pause, he continued, "Oh, there's another gold bar, and Third Brother still owes us three hundred and sixty-four."
Yao Xiujuan was surprised, "When did Third Brother owe us money?"
Chu Tian curled his lips and said, "I'll take the exam for him..."
“····”
Seeing Yao Xiujuan's shocked expression, Chu Tianle was happy and patted her hands. "Okay, don't think too much. I'll take care of everything!"
"Oh, the money is all with me. I'll hide it first. This cave we live in doesn't even have a proper lock, so we can't hide anything. When we have our own yard and house, I'll keep it for you."
Yao Xiujuan shook her head, "No, Brother Tian, just leave it there."
Chu Tian looked sideways and raised an eyebrow. "Don't women like to manage money? Why don't you?"
Yao Xiujuan chuckled, "I trust Brother Tian, so it doesn't matter whether he intervenes or not."
Chu Tian thought for a moment and said, "Whether you trust me is up to you, but money can give a woman a sense of security, so I will still give you some of the money when the time comes. As for the rest, after we divide the family property, we will register for independent household registration. When I have some free time, I will go to the city bank to open an account and deposit the money there to avoid losing it if I keep it in my hands."
In fact, Chu Tian could keep it in the space forever, but it was okay temporarily, not for years and months. Not only would it be too easy to be exposed, but Chu Tian also did not plan to tell Yao Xiujuan all the money he earned on the black market, for fear of scaring her in the future.
The next morning, when Chu Tian came to the main hall, it was empty, but the dishes and table that he broke last night had been cleaned up. After thinking about it, Chu Tian went to the kitchen next door and found that only Daya was busy.
"Daya, why are you alone?"
Daya was squatting on the ground washing sweet potatoes. When she heard this, she looked up and saw Chu Tian. She stood up hurriedly and called out stiffly, "Fourth Uncle."
Chu Tian raised his eyebrows and glanced at Daya. Thinking of the scene when everyone was scared when he made trouble last night, he thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Daya, are you afraid of me?"
Daya quickly shook her head, "No, Daya is not afraid of Fourth Uncle."
"Daya just feels that Fourth Uncle has changed a lot."
Chu Tian chuckled, "Why? Daya, do you think Fourth Uncle has changed, is it good or bad?"
Daya responded without hesitation, "It's good..."
Chu Tian was delighted. He couldn't help but stepped forward and rubbed Daya's head, then asked softly, "Daya, do you want to go to school?"
Daya looked up at Chu Tian in surprise, "Fourth Uncle, can I go to school?"
"sure."
Daya's face lit up with joy at first, but then she became depressed again, "But, I will be thirteen after the Chinese New Year, and my mother will definitely not let me go to school..."
Chu Tian frowned, "What's wrong with thirteen? As long as you want to go to school, you can go to school even if you are twenty-three or thirty-three..."
“It’s never too late to go to school!”
After thinking for a while, he said, "As for your mother, your father is the head of the family after all. Even if he is timid, he is still the head of the family. I will tell your father when the time comes!"
Daya's face was full of surprise, "Thank you, Fourth Uncle..."
Chu Tian smiled and nodded, "Well, you cook."
As he turned around and was about to go out, Daya hurriedly stopped him again, "Fourth Uncle, this morning grandma told me not to cook for you and Fourth Aunt..."
"It's okay, just listen to your grandma..."
Chu Tian waved his hand indifferently, picked up an unused bucket from the kitchen and left!
He really didn't care, and he had no intention of eating together today after they had a fight last night. Before going to bed last night, he and Yao Xiujuan agreed that he would cook for himself starting today.
He even disdained to eat the food at Old Chu's house. He had been eating with them every day before because he had no pots or stoves at home and couldn't cook. Now that he had pots, stoves, food, and everything else, why should he keep making do with them? Eating food that even pigs wouldn't eat?
After having some rice porridge in the morning, Chu Tian told Yao Xiujuan and Wu Ya to try not to go out today. He wanted to finish breaking up with the old Chu family. She was pregnant, and Chu Tian was afraid that Liu Zhaodi or Chu Wen would get angry and run into Yao Xiujuan.
Yao Xiujuan's eyes were filled with worry, "Brother Tian, be careful..."
Chu Tian chuckled, "Don't worry, it's okay, what are you afraid of with the captain here?"
Then he touched Wuya's little face and said, "Wuya, be a good girl and stay with your mother..."
"Wu Ya, good girl..."
Wu Ya held Yao Xiujuan's clothes with one hand and nodded obediently.
When Chu Tian returned with Captain Sun, the Chu family had already finished their breakfast.
