Su Tong nodded, agreeing to these requirements. The couple also went to the neighborhood committee on the same day to sign their divorce agreement. With the witness of some people, the couple was officially divorced. Even if one of them died in the future, they would not be allowed to covet the other's property.

Aunt Wu from the neighborhood committee sighed after she knew the couple's purpose for doing this. "It's hard for a couple to get married halfway. I've seen you two haven't had a fight for decades, and I thought you were very loving. I didn't expect you still have to make plans for your children."

Yes, even if both parties really want to live together, they still have to consider their children. Although Su Tong is quite satisfied with her, Xiufen will never abandon her children for Su Tong. Both parties are right. If they have to blame someone, they can only blame their different identities.

Su Tong didn't have much money because he had organized a wedding for his eldest son, but he would definitely give what he promised. Plus, the atmosphere had become more relaxed recently, so Su Tong went out to take private jobs for others. Since ancient times, people with skills would never starve to death.

Su Tong connected water and electricity to other people's homes, and even found parts to make some small electrical appliances. Since he was the first person to try something new, he actually made a lot of money.

Su Tong also fulfilled his promise and took Xiufen to the house he liked. The house had heating and running water, one bedroom and one living room, and a small closet next to it, which could be converted into a study or a small room.

Xiufen was very satisfied with the house and said pleadingly, "Lao Su, I hope you don't tell my two children about buying a house."

Xiufen also has her own little thoughts. Although she relies on her two children for her old age, it does not mean that she has to devote herself to her children wholeheartedly, not to mention that her son will forget his mother once he gets married.

Since getting married, my son has never come to visit me. Even during the holidays, he never comes to see me.

If it weren't for the fact that he had Lao Su to rely on, and that he had a job and some money, his daughter-in-law would never have come to visit him.

Su Tong nodded. The house issue was resolved, and the next thing to deal with was Hongduo's dowry and job.

Su Tong does have an idea, but he needs to wait a little longer. Both of his children failed the college entrance exam, but Xiao Cui wants to study for another year. If she still fails after repeating the year, he will then consider working.

Su Tong was quite supportive and even sent his daughter to a good school and hired a teacher. As for Hong Duo...

"My business is doing pretty well now. Besides, I'm old enough, so I plan to retire now and hand over my job to Hong Duo." Su Tong dropped such a shocking news on the dining table, shocking everyone.

"Dad, have you been drugged by this woman? Even if you want to find a job for Hongduo, you shouldn't retire on your own. Do you know how much your monthly salary is?" Xiao Cui was naturally unhappy. Even if her biological father retired and had to give up his job, it would not be Hongduo's turn. She had to give it to her younger brother Jianqiang.

Hongduo was also shocked. If it wasn't night, she really wanted to run outside to see if the sun was rising from the west.

"Uncle, thank you so much for your kindness, but if you give up your job, what will our family eat and drink? You are not expecting me to pay for your food and drink?" Hong Duo thought that the other party was just talking and didn't take the job matter to heart at all.

Su Tong said calmly: "Don't worry, no matter how poor I am, I will never let my family go hungry, not to mention that I have a skill.

You don't have to worry about work. This is a deal your mom and I made. If you want to thank someone, thank your mom. You'll understand it when you grow up.

I'm an electrician, and you, a girl, definitely can't do that, so I found you an easier job."

He gave his job back to another person, and then paid extra money to send Hongduo to the Power Supply Bureau, where she became a formal employee, which was equivalent to having a regular position. As long as Hongduo worked hard, she would never have to worry about food and drink in the future.

Xiao Cui's eyes turned red with anger, "You might as well give the job to me."

"You are going to college." Su Tong patted his little daughter's hand, "Don't worry, I know what I am doing."

Hong Duo was indeed a little bit unbelievable, and even felt like she was dreaming when she went to bed at night. It was not until the next day that Su Tong took her to complete the work handover.

After Hongxing learned about this, he was angry and jealous. He had worked hard for all these years to get a regular job, but because he had no connections, he had to do all the hard labor. His own sister became a regular employee without doing anything. It was really frustrating to compare herself with others.

Hongxing's wife is still a temporary worker. When she learned that her sister-in-law has become a regular employee and is working in a leisurely unit, she immediately thought and asked her husband to discuss changing jobs with her sister-in-law.

"We are all family anyway, so we should keep the wealth within the family." My sister-in-law made a calculation, thinking that after getting a job at the power supply bureau, she would not only have more free time, but also have good benefits.

Hongxing was too embarrassed to ask her sister, so she went straight to her biological mother, but Xiufen was not a fool and refused without thinking.

"That was the job Uncle Su asked me to help get. I'm embarrassed to ask for it. Besides, you already have a job and can support the family. Why do you have to stare at the crooked things in your sister's hands?

Your father passed away early, and I worked hard to raise you. I thought you would protect me and your sister after you got married, but you ended up forgetting about us after you got married, and you haven't even come back to visit me and your sister in all these years.

We don’t ask you to pay anything, we just hope... we just hope you can take responsibility like a man.”

When Hong Xing heard this, she was furious. "Didn't I do well enough? It's obviously you who are vain and unwilling to endure hardships, so you married a divorced man. Ha, you two are so free and easy, living in a nice house, and living better than anyone else every day. Have you ever thought about how hard it is for me and my wife? We still rent a house."

Speaking of housing, Xiufen lowered her head and said, "I heard that your company is going to distribute housing. You just need to make a little more effort. At most, you can spend some money to buy some things and send them over. Get the housing issue settled as soon as possible."

Hong Xing waved his sleeves impatiently, "What gifts? My wife and I have a hard time making ends meet, not to mention she's pregnant now, so how can we have the spare money to buy gifts? If you still have some motherly love for me, then quickly find a way to solve this problem for me, otherwise when your grandson is born, our whole family will be left with nothing."

Xiufen was just a little woman and didn't know what to do. She could only go to find Su Tong again. She implied that she should take out Hongduo's dowry first and give it as a gift to Hongxing's leaders. Then the house issue could be settled. Hongduo's dowry could be put on hold for now. If it really didn't work, she could just compensate with something else. There was no need to give so much.
