Chapter 108 Returning to Her Parents' Home to Retrieve Her Household Registration (7)
Wang Yuqing sneered through gritted teeth, her voice loud: "I took the household registration to separate my household and establish a new one!"
In this era, many families had many children, so it was common for families to separate their households or even establish their own. However, it was rare to hear of a family with a daughter wanting to separate their household and establish their own separate household.
Everyone was shocked.
Wang Jiandong and Lin Xuemei were also visibly surprised.
Lin Xuemei looked at Wang Yuqing with disbelief. She assumed that all Wang Yuqing wanted was an urban household registration and a grain ration, so she looked down on her and despised her from the bottom of her heart.
Because of this one point, she felt she was in the right, so she wanted her behavior to be known to all, so that others could use their words to ridicule her.
So what did she say? She wanted to separate her household registration?
Ji Xuening was also surprised by Wang Yuqing's words, but he unconditionally supported her.
Wang Yuqing chuckled and looked up at Wang Yulan: "Only someone like you, who thinks he's read a bit and considers himself an intellectual, would be so narrow-minded as to think that I'm just trying to get that little bit of food, and that I'm just trying to use that to make a big fuss and incite everyone to criticize me for being unethical?"
She saw right through her again, and Wang Yulan's face turned pale with shock.
Wang Yuqing glanced at Wang Jiandong again: "I don't care about the town household registration you give me, nor do I want that little bit of food rations. What I want is to be separated from your whole family's household registration, because..."
Her expression was filled with intense disgust and disdain: "Because being on the same household register as you is an insult to me!"
Wang Jiandong stared blankly at Wang Yuqing, but couldn't utter a single word.
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. They couldn't believe that Wang Yuqing hated the Wang family to such an extent that she would rather give up her urban household registration and grain rations than have anything to do with them. It was clear that all her accusations were true! Otherwise, she wouldn't have hated them to this extent.
After all, who wouldn't want an urban household registration? 27 jin of grain is quite a lot.
Wang Yuqing didn't really care about urban household registration, because Ji Xuening would soon become wealthy, and soon the grain purchase ration and grain supply system would be abolished.
Lin Xuemei stared wide-eyed at Wang Yuqing and asked, "What did you say? You took the household registration not for the sake of the grain?"
She sneered, "You're not after the food? What else could you be after... Don't pretend, I know what you're thinking. You're a very cunning person."
Wang Yuqing turned to the director of the neighborhood committee: "Director, I asked Aunt Huang to call you here so that you could see the true nature of that couple, and also so that you could know what I have been through all these years. I really would rather not have an urban household registration or a grain ration, as long as I can separate my household and establish a new one... Because separating the household requires a certificate from you, I ask you to help me get a certificate so that I can stay away from this family."
"You need to provide the certificate before I can proceed with the household registration process."
The neighborhood committee director asked her, "Are you really willing to give up your urban household registration and food rations just to separate your household and establish a new one?"
Wang Yuqing replied without hesitation: "No! Not only do I not want it, I also want to transfer my household registration to the countryside."
These words infuriated Wang Jiandong and Lin Xuemei! Lin Xuemei almost roared, "You ungrateful wretch, you good-for-nothing, you lunatic! Do you know what you're saying?"
Wang Jiandong was so angry that veins bulged on his face. He glared at Wang Yulan and pointed at her, saying, "You dare! You try moving here!"
Wang Yulan, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but scold, "Are you out of your mind?"
Wang Yuqing raised an eyebrow triumphantly: "Are you all in a hurry? Sorry, I'm still going to move!"
She looked at the neighborhood committee director again: "Director, I don't live in their house anymore, I don't eat their food or drink their drinks, I'm financially independent, so I should be able to separate my household, right?"
The neighborhood committee director pondered for a moment and said, "Then take your household registration and come back to the neighborhood committee office with me. I'll issue you a separate household registration certificate. I already understand the specific situation, and I support your separate household registration!"
Wang Yuqing nodded and thanked him, "Thank you, Director."
Aunt Huang agreed, saying, "It's good to separate households. It's better to separate households sooner rather than later. Don't be on the same household register as this family. They're all wicked and will be punished by heaven."
She asked again, "But it's such a waste to have 27 jin of grain. I heard that the family you married into is very poor. If you had the grain, you could have eaten a little more."
Wang Yuqing said with a smile, "I haven't eaten at home for a month. The couple used my household registration to collect this food. You see, I'm doing just fine without this food, which means I can live without it. So why not save food for the country?"
She earned a good reputation for "saving food for the country".
If Wang Yuqing was the most cheerful person today, then the second one was Aunt Huang.
Wang Jiandong, Lin Xuemei, and Wang Yulan never expected that their goal wasn't urban residency or 27 jin of grain, but rather to separate their households.
They had originally planned to seize the household registration and receive three more years' worth of grain, but in the end, they lost everything, and their family's reputation was ruined.
Wang Yuqing addressed the crowd: "That's all for today. Thank you all for helping me settle this matter. I apologize for bothering you all and for making this a laughing stock of you. The world needs kind-hearted people like you all, and there are still many more kind-hearted people in our great country. People like this couple are extremely rare. I have always believed that kind-hearted people will surely be blessed."
After giving a positive speech, she left with Ji Xuening, following the director and members of the neighborhood committee.
After she left, people began to talk about, criticize, condemn, and despise Wang Jiandong and Lin Meili.
The director and section chief of the fertilizer plant took this matter very seriously and even called the factory's militia to take the couple away. At this point, Wang Yulan distanced herself completely. Her cleverness lay in making the two elderly people think that she had no choice and that she was keeping herself around so that someone could find a way to rescue them later.
In fact, Wang Yulan wanted to avoid dragging them down, not wanting to lose her accounting job, not wanting her in-laws to look down on her, and not wanting her reputation to be ruined as well.
The couple's despicable behavior quickly spread throughout the entire residential compound, becoming common knowledge.
Wang Yuyan harbored resentment all day because a passerby on her way to work was beaten by Wang Yuqing in the morning. She was not focused on her work and was scolded several times.
She finally got off work and went home. As soon as she reached the door, she cried and shouted, "Dad, Mom, you have to beat that idiot to death! Tear her mouth apart and break her legs..."
As a result, the yard was a mess, and the house was quiet. She called out several times, "Dad? Mom? Eldest sister?" but no one answered her.
She searched every room but couldn't find a single person. However, she did notice that all of Wang Yulan's belongings were gone, as if she had packed them up and gone home.
A few people stood outside the door and peeked in. Although the excitement had ended, they still couldn't resist coming to take a look.
Then Wang Yuyan learned from them what had happened that day, and her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, unable to even cry out.
The twins, Wang Yubao and Wang Yujuan, heard about it on their way back, but they didn't quite understand. They didn't believe it and ran home angrily, only to find their third sister sitting on the ground.
