Traveling back to ancient times begins with the use of stone tools

"We will live separately. Yuxuan and I will not change our surnames. We will still keep the surname Leng and provide for our parents in their old age."

Liu Ruxu looked at Leng Ruoxue, wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

"If you can send your brother to school and live independently, I agree, but Yuxuan cannot leave this home."

Leng Jingshan made concessions.

"Who is the boss of this family? It should be grandpa. Why don't we let grandpa and grandma follow us? We are the boss of our family."

Leng Ruoxue doesn't want to live under someone else's roof.

I don't want it to end up like when I was in the Wang family, where my mother and I were the ones who contributed the most, but in the end we were still controlled by the Wang family.

"We will not leave Lengjia Village"

Leng Jingshan spoke.

"That's fine, we'll settle down in Lengjia Village"

Leng Ruoxue thought about it and realized that since she hadn't found a way out in the county town yet, it would be fine to live in Lengjia Village for now.

"Mom, give half of the food and bedding to grandpa and grandma, and repair the stove first. Grandpa, give me the household registration, and I will go to find the village chief."

Seeing the food, dried vegetables, and dried meat that Liu Ruxu took out, he divided half of them out, and also divided half of the bedding out.

Leng Jingshan then took out the household registration form from his arms and gave it to Leng Ruoxue.

"Grandpa, please come with me. It's OK as long as mom and grandma are at home. Mom, help grandma clean up first, and then cook."

Leng Ruoxue took the household registration, a bowl of brown rice, and a piece of meat, and went to find the village chief with the old man.

The village chief's family had just settled down and were about to take a rest when they saw Leng Ruoxue and the others arriving.

"Grandpa the village chief!"

Leng Ruoxue handed over brown rice and dried meat.

"Ruoxue is back, it's good to be back"

The village chief glanced at Leng Jingshan and did not take the thing.

"What are you..."

"Grandpa Village Chief, please do me a favor."

"We are all from the same village. I will do what I can for you. You can take the things back. These days, every family is not well-off, especially your family."

The village chief pushed Leng Ruoxue's hand back.

"Grandpa, the village chief, we still have some at home. My mother and I brought them back. If you don't believe me, ask Grandpa."

“Yes.”

Lengjing Mountain is dry.

"Let's talk about what's going on first!"

Still without taking the things, Leng Ruoxue put them on the table.

"It's like this, my mother is back, and she and the Wang family have divorced, so my grandfather and I have discussed that Yuxuan will set up a separate household, and my mother and I will follow Yuxuan's household registration."

"Didn't he get divorced?"

Leng Jingshan was surprised. Why didn't this kid tell the truth?

"It's not that I was divorced. The Wang family wanted to return the 5 taels of silver betrothal gift that was used to treat my grandparents' illness. I originally said that I wanted my mother to divorce the Wang family, but later, under the mediation of the village, we changed it to a divorce."

Leng Jingshan felt guilty, as his daughter-in-law remarried in order to raise money for medicine for the family.

"How about, Ruoxue, don't live alone, your mother's household registration will be at home."

"No, we've already agreed that we'll live separately."

Leng Ruoxue insisted.

Seeing Leng Ruoxue insisting like this, Leng Jingshan stopped talking.

"You agree?"

The village chief looked at Leng Jingshan.

"Well, she said she could send his brother to school and support us old couple. We don't expect the child to support us. As long as Yuxuan is fine and can go to school, we can set up a separate household!"

Leng Jingshan felt that as long as his grandsons were well and recognized them, it would be fine. As for whether he would raise them or not, he had no hope because they were still children less than 5 years old.

"Okay, bring your household registration here. I'll go to the county tomorrow to see what the rules for disaster relief are. I'll also get your household registration done, that is, Liu's household registration. You have to go to the Wang family to get it. I won't take your things. You can take them back."

The village chief agreed immediately.

"Grandpa Village Chief, as long as we take our household registration over, there will be no problem with the Wang family."

Leng Ruoxue spoke.

"You kid, you don't have the Wang family's household registration, and your mother's household registration may not be transferred. Maybe in a few days, we will have to go to the county with the household registration. We have to use the household registration to get the disaster relief. It happens that we still have time now, so you should go and get it quickly, otherwise it will be inconvenient to take it later when you need it."

The village chief thought Leng Ruoxue didn't know the process.

"Just help here, the county clerk will help with the Wang family's affairs."

Leng Ruoxue remembered that the dental office was talking about documents.

"you sure?"

The village chief looked at Leng Ruoxue deeply.

"determine"

"Okay, I'll try it first!"

"Also, Grandpa Village Chief, are there any empty houses in the village? My mother, brother and I want to find a place to live."

"Can't the Leng family accommodate you?"

The village chief was puzzled.

“The houses have collapsed and there is no room to live in them.”

Leng Ruoxue saw that Leng Jingshan wanted to speak, so she spoke before him.

"Let me think... Three of them are confirmed to be empty. As for the rest, we have to wait. If we are sure that the people haven't returned, we can take them back."

"Village Chief, please accept it, return the bowl to me, and take me to see it!"

The village chief smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take it. Come on, I'll take you to see it."

The village head lady just brought some hot water and said, "Take a sip before you go."

"Grandma, please give me the bowl."

Leng Ruoxue picked up the water and took a sip.

The village chief took Leng Ruoxue to see the three empty houses.

One is a two-room house with a small yard, with an annual rent of 200 wen.

One is... there are no houses left, everything has collapsed.

There is another one… at the very back of the village, on the hillside, there is just a thatched hut.

The village chief is too embarrassed to talk about rent.

"Grandpa Village Chief, if it's here, how much silver would it cost to buy it?"

Leng Ruoxue felt that although it was just a thatched hut, it was spacious and better than the mud house that she was worried would collapse at any time.

"This... two acres of mountain land, four taels of silver. If you want to buy it, just count one and a half acres, not the house."

Leng Ruoxue thought for a moment and said, "Let's just buy this place and put it under my mother's name!"

The weather is neither cold nor hot now, so you can live in the thatched hut first, make the adobe bricks yourself, and build it up slowly.

My mother still has three taels of silver, and I only have one tael of silver in my hand. However, I have food, so I can just find an excuse to take it out.

If that doesn’t work, sell the ox cart and build a house.

Anyway, you need to find a place to live first, and we can worry about other things later.

"Decided?"

The village chief confirmed it.

"It's decided. Village chief, please help me get the land deed when you go to the county this time!"

"Okay, if you've made up your mind, bring the money over. I can't accept your stuff for nothing. Let's do it together when we go to the county this time!"

After returning to her grandfather's house, Leng Ruoxue asked Liu Ruxu for some silver and gave it to the village chief.

"Mom, let's take the things back to our home"

Leng Ruoxue was very happy to see Liu Ruxu cooking in a borrowed broken pottery jar.

The mother didn't take out the iron pot. I don't know if she had figured it out or just forgot about it, so she didn't have to find an excuse to take out the pot.

"I'll go help you clean up."

Seeing that Leng Ruoxue and the others were about to move out, Leng Jingshan did not stop them.

"Master, you should have a good rest. We also need to clean up here. Come back after you have cleaned up and rested."

Leng Ruoxue refused, "When you miss Yuxuan, you can go and see him in a few steps. There is no need to rush now."
