"Then you have made your decision. I will go to the village secretary's house tomorrow to inquire about the household division. I guess I will have to ask your grandfather to handle this matter. If this can be done, it would be great.

I heard from your aunt just now that her family was given three extra houses and more than 800,000 yuan when the house was demolished and divided last year?

Let’s not talk about the 80 yuan. Even if you sell the three houses, you can’t spend all the money in your lifetime. As for building a house, you have to figure it out by yourself. I can’t help you at all.” After saying that, the old man took the empty bowl and went back to the kitchen.

Jiang Shuya pondered for a long time and nodded affirmatively. The little guy in her arms was full and waved his hands excitedly, burping.

After dinner, I gave Baoer a bath. The little guy was humming and mumbling, as if he wanted to chat with his mother.

Since I have started over, I decided to spend more time with Baoer. As far as I can remember, the child and Jiang Shuya are not close. He was raised by my mother-in-law, and they eat and sleep together. I work away from home all day as a salesperson in a shopping mall. The hours are long, and it is common for me to work overtime on holidays. I often get home in the middle of the night.

Without the company of his parents, the child became quiet, taciturn, introverted, and had low self-esteem. When he grew up, he became selfish, spoke ill of others, and cast a shadow on his unhappy marriage.

The next morning, the June weather changed suddenly. It was gray and drizzling outside. Jiang Shuya leaned on the bed to feed Baoer, her eyes lost in thought and memories.

At the age of 22, she got married early despite her family's opposition. Now she is only 24, in the prime of her life. When she thinks back on the past, an invisible force gives her hope for life.

I opened the closet and picked out a blue plaid dress, undressed and tried it on. After I was dressed, I saw myself in the mirror in the closet and felt slightly satisfied.

It has been a long time since I bought new clothes. This piece of clothing is from last year. I saw that there are only two sets of pajamas and a few nursing bras in the closet. The other pieces are also old styles. I feel like I can’t wear them out anymore.

At this time, I heard a familiar voice coming from the yard downstairs. Looking through the window sill, it was indeed my aunt Zhang Hongxia who came to ask for the residential land.

The mother-in-law spread her hands with a helpless expression, indicating that she had no other choice. There was obvious dissatisfaction in the aunt's eyes, and she forced a smile on her face, seeming unwilling. She continued to speak in a negotiating tone, hoping that the mother-in-law would give in. The two continued to argue.

I knew it was inconvenient to explain because the property certificate belonged to my mother-in-law and her family, and it was not easy to go forward and argue. Fortunately, I gave my mother-in-law a heads-up in advance.

Thinking about how in the previous life, my aunt had a falling out with my mother-in-law and her family over 5,000 yuan, and they swore at her all kinds of vicious curses without any scruples. In the end, she had to take out the money to settle the matter. My mother-in-law agreed to sell the homestead to my aunt's family for 10,000 yuan, because she expected that my mother-in-law's family would not be able to come up with the money to build the house.

We can take advantage of this loophole, and when the demolition takes place, our family of five will get two houses, and my aunt's family of five will also get five houses.

Just because of the extra residential land, she was allocated three more houses and hundreds of thousands of yuan. Although they were resettlement houses, Shuya knew clearly that they were fully furnished houses. After she got the houses, the price soared to more than 30,000 yuan. With three houses, that would be 6 or 7 million yuan, right?

An ordinary person can't earn that much in his entire life. Spending 10,000 yuan to buy a residential plot and another 100,000 yuan to build a house, who wouldn't want to do this cheap deal? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

After thinking for a moment, he put Baoer in the rocking stroller in the living room and went to rummage around in the cabinet where he kept his money.

I couldn't wait to search how much money I had left, and took out a maroon passbook. There was only 10,000 yuan on it, and a dozen 100-yuan bills folded inside, and nothing else. I searched several cabinets but found nothing else. That should be the amount I had, as I didn't have a job at the time.

Huang Minghao only sent 1,000 yuan every month. At that time, the salary of a seaman was about 5,000 yuan, the annual income of ordinary people was about 20,000 yuan, and the salary of a sales staff in a shopping mall was about 2,000 yuan.

My mother-in-law works as a cleaner at a subway station and only earns a little over 900 yuan a month, and my old man works at a bank and earns a little over 1,000 yuan, which is higher than Huang Minghao's salary. As for why they give Shuya 1,000 yuan every month.

Because of the 60,000 yuan betrothal gift before the marriage, Shuya's mother felt that her daughter was too young and that if she got married early, she could stay at home and earn more money for her parents for a few more years.

There was no chance to ask for money after getting married, so the bride price was 60,000 yuan, not a penny less, and there was no room for negotiation. This was indeed a huge sum of money for my mother-in-law's family. It was my grandfather who came forward to borrow the money from my eldest aunt, who was in the stone and sand business and was unwilling to lend money.

Because we felt that the old man was unreliable and couldn't pay back the money, my grandfather came to his house in person and signed a written guarantee.

From then on, Huang Minghao gave 3,000 yuan to his grandfather and 1,000 yuan to Shuya every month, and the rest was for his own expenses. The seaman's working time was not long, less than a year.

Shuya spent nearly ten thousand yuan when she gave birth to her child. She didn't give money to her grandfather for several months. After calculating, she didn't pay back much of the sixty thousand yuan, only a little more than ten thousand yuan at most.

Oh my god, I was reborn with neither space nor super powers. I have to work hard and down to earth. I don’t have to think about any ideas. I just have to make money to build a house... make money to build a house.

I brought Baoer to the vineyard and told my mother-in-law about some things I had to do at home on the weekend. I didn't tell her about my sister's boyfriend. After all, they were just dating and just casually meeting the parents, so I didn't take it seriously.

The grapes were lush and green. My mother-in-law was sweating and busy with her hands, and she replied, "Oh, I'm not working now. There's no work in the grape fields. If you have something to do, go and do your own thing. Just leave the child to me."

Shuya suddenly slapped her head, wondering how could she have forgotten about this? Since she had been in confinement, her mother-in-law had not been working and had taken good care of her during the period.

I was grateful for the meticulous care given to Baoer, but I felt a little regretful that I didn't go back to see him off because his grandfather passed away during my confinement period. But now that Baoer is being well taken care of, those regrets in my heart are filled with a sense of satisfaction.

The weekend came in a blink of an eye. Shuya took two boxes of milk and rode the electric bike she bought when she got married. She originally wanted to take the subway, but suddenly remembered that the subway was only opened about three years ago, so she gave up the idea.

Walking from the river bank to the viaduct, looking around at the undulating river water, who would have thought that ten years later this island with a total area of ​​30 square kilometers would become a paradise for the rich.

It is difficult to find a house there, and the price is comparable to that in the city center. It is a paradise in the main urban area. Due to its beautiful environment, many original green scenic spots have been preserved.

There is relatively little land available for development, which is why housing prices were higher than those in the city center. Jiangdao is surrounded by water and shaded by green trees. Later, some rivers and ditches were developed into famous wetland parks and Youth Olympic Park, and many famous exotic flowers and plants were introduced.
