Three Women in the Cage

Chapter 117: Not Allowed to Read

The renovation workers and the woman were arguing with each other, so they had to ask Yang Yu to negotiate. However, Yang Yu couldn't do anything about the woman, so the construction had to be stopped!

Looking at the house whose foundation had just been repaired, Yang Yu was unwilling to let the house be abandoned. Seeing the smug look on the woman's face, Yang Yu had to visit the town leaders!

The leader didn't want to pay attention to their arguments, but he thought that the policies were leading the villagers to a well-off life. If more small buildings were built in the village, his own political achievements would be improved.

Thinking of this, the leader happily helped Yang Yu up and said righteously, "This is outrageous! I hate people who bully the weak the most! Besides, we are neighbors. Shouldn't we help each other more? Come on, take me there right now! I want to see how arrogant she can be!"

Yang Yu hadn't expected it to go this smoothly. Excited, she led him towards home.

The leader called a group of staff to accompany him, and then headed towards Yang Yu's house. When they arrived at Yang Yu's house, they saw that the newly built foundation was empty.

He frowned, glanced at the scattered orange trees on the foundation, and waved his hand. Then one of his subordinates walked up to the door, knocked loudly, and yelled, "Whoever's inside, come out! Come out!"

After a while, the woman came out with her husband and two sons, looking very angry. Looking at the group of people brought by Yang Yu, she asked in a bad attitude, "What are you doing? Are you bringing so many people to rob people's houses?"

Hearing the woman's awkward tone, the man frowned and growled, "Watch your attitude! We're from the town! Someone reported you were obstructing rural development, so we came here specifically to understand the situation. Our policy is to resolutely oppose your actions that hinder rural development!"

"We're trying to negotiate with you now. If you continue to behave rudely, don't blame us for forcibly uprooting your orange trees and fining you!"

Seeing the man's strong attitude, the woman knew that she couldn't confront him head-on, so she reluctantly hid in the inner room, leaving her husband to negotiate with them!

Finally, under pressure from above, the woman had to agree to cut down the orange trees that were scattered above Yang Yuwu.

In this way, construction of Yang Yu's new house was able to continue!

After a full six months, the two-story new house was finally completed! Yang Yu looked at the new house with almost no decoration and smiled with satisfaction!

Finally, I don’t have to worry about rain anymore, I don’t have to sleep with an umbrella, and I don’t have to get the kitchen wet when cooking!

Although this new house only has a simple frame, with no painted walls or floors, even the windows are just a few wooden bars placed horizontally, and the door is just a square frame!

But Yang Yu was already content. All she needed was a place to stay. A place that didn't leak rain, didn't let in light, wasn't damp, and wasn't noisy—that was enough. She didn't expect a new house that was too comfortable.

After moving into the new house, life became even more difficult! On the one hand, we needed to pay off the debt for house renovations, and on the other hand, Huanhuan was about to enter junior high school.

The junior high school is very far away, it takes two hours to walk from the village, and the tuition is much more expensive than that of the elementary school!

Zhang Erfa's salary alone wasn't even enough to cover tuition, so how could he afford to pay off his debts? He couldn't keep dragging on with his debts, especially since the bank was still calculating the interest! The crops he grew were barely enough to feed his family, and he couldn't sell any more! He could only feed his livestock and poultry over a year, which wasn't even enough to cover his daily expenses.

There's no money left to support crops and livestock right now! But the most urgent thing is to solve the problem of the children's tuition!

Yang Yu wanted to ask Zhang Erfa to send more money back. Now the family expenses are getting higher and higher, and the children need more and more money. He always sends the same little money back, which is not enough at all!

Yang Yu called Zhang Erfa. Zhang Erfa was annoyed by Yang Yu's constant urging for money. "You know you need money too? Do you think I'm an ATM? I told you not to renovate the house, but you insisted! Who are you going to give the house to after you renovate it?"

"Now you know you need money? You know you need to pay back your debts? You have no ability, so why are you trying so hard? Now you want me to help you pay back your debts? Do you think I'm going to go without food or water for a day?"

"If you ask me, tell those three kids to stop studying. Why study so much? They'll all belong to other families in the future! I'll try to get them temporary ID cards and send them over for the New Year. I'll also find them jobs here!"

"That way, the tuition problem is solved! The money they earn from working can also help pay off the debt. Isn't that simple? You don't have to keep asking for money every day!"

Zhang Erfa spoke out his thoughts one after another, and he suddenly felt much more relaxed. He was overwhelmed by the children and trivial matters at home.

Now that I have my three children working with me, I don't have to waste my hard-earned money on tuition fees! I can also let them earn some money, which will reduce the burden on my family and improve their quality of life!

Thinking about it, I was stupid before. Why did I work so hard for a few girls? It was simply torture!

After hearing Zhang Erfa's selfish words, Yang Yu was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time. He couldn't believe that Zhang Erfa wouldn't even let the children read. He had placed all his hopes on them, so how could he be willing to let all his hopes be shattered like this!

It took her a long time to come back to her senses, to catch her breath. She exhaled and yelled into the microphone, "Zhang Erfa! How could you... deprive them of their right to study? Whose children don't study these days? Besides, they're so young... You let them go to work? Do you want to ruin their lives?"

Zhang Erfa was most annoyed by Yang Yu's fantasies. He sneered, "What good life can they have? Isn't it just that when they grow up, they will get married like spilled water? Whether they study or not, they will get married the same way, right? What's the difference in their lives? Do you expect them to stay by your side? To support you? Don't dream. Your life will be just like mine. No one will take care of you until you die!"

Yang Yu had always been unwilling to give up, but Zhang Erfa was trying to provoke her to do what she had been trying to avoid. She retorted with dissatisfaction, "I just want my daughters to succeed. I want those who look down on me to regret it! I just want to vent my anger and prove myself!"

Zhang Erfa found this woman both ridiculous and pathetic, and didn't want to waste any more time talking to her. "Since you're so stubborn, I won't say anything more. You can continue to dream big! But from today on, I won't send a single cent back! Do whatever you want to help them succeed!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone without any hesitation!
