After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes
Chapter 172 The Best Parents of That Era (5)
Before the start of the school year, Ruolan thought through the pros and cons of sending the children to school. After careful consideration, she asked Shuisheng to discuss with Aunt Jie that all the children should go to school.
Unexpectedly, such a small request brought the hidden problems of the Xie family to the surface.
Finally, Sister-in-law Xie strongly demanded a division of the family property, insisting that the second branch of the family should not be allowed to take advantage of the common property any longer!
Finally, the village elders and the village head were consulted, and the second branch of the family was separated.
The family's property and land were divided fairly. The only important asset was the ox, which was the family's labor force. It couldn't be slaughtered and divided less, so everyone shared it.
The second wife received over two hundred yuan, more than ten mu of land, and two rooms where they lived, which also had two attics!
However, they have many children in their second wife's family, so these two rooms are definitely not enough for them. Sooner or later, they will have to build a house elsewhere.
So they sold the two rooms to the eldest son's wife for 150 yuan! After all, the eldest son's wife also had four children, two sons and two daughters.
Ruolan and Shuisheng plan to find a better site to build a house!
Now, Ruolan looked at the farm tools and kitchen utensils that had been allocated to her room. She glanced at the row of children standing in front of her, then at Shuisheng, and thought to herself: Only their second family was separated.
Ruolan feigned sadness and said helplessly to the children, "Sigh~ In order for you to go to school, we were all kicked out of our homes."
He looked clearly sad as he spoke, and the room fell into an eerie silence.
The youngest child, Qiang, couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere and walked forward nervously, trying to tug at his mother's clothes.
But then he thought about how Ruolan had always been cold to him these past few months, and he could only stand there, looking at Ruolan with pleading eyes. His pitiful appearance was enough to make anyone feel sorry for him.
In the past, Ruolan would have held him tightly in her arms and cherished him like a precious darling.
In her previous life, her youngest son was also spoiled rotten until he was five years old.
But now, when she looked at him, Ruolan simply turned her eyes away.
The eldest brother, Heping, remained silent, the second brother glanced at his older brother but said nothing, and Hefen also acted according to his older brother's expression.
Seeing his father's expression, the third child said timidly, "How about we go and tell Grandpa and Grandma that our child doesn't need to go to school?"
Shui Sheng knew perfectly well that these three boys were trying to back down, thinking that the two adults would definitely not agree to his proposal.
To everyone's surprise, Shui Sheng readily agreed, "Sure, go tell your grandma that since many people in the village don't go to school, you don't need to go either. It'll just be a waste of money if you don't do well."
When He Rong heard that his father really wanted him to go, he started to have doubts again. He loved reading and wanted to go to school, so in the end, He Rong still didn't go to see his grandmother.
Ruolan said, "Your father and I have sacrificed so much for you, so you must cherish this opportunity. After you finish your studies, you must repay us properly."
The people inside nodded in agreement, but what they were really thinking was something only they knew.
When it came to building a house, Shuisheng called on the villagers to come and help while things were still relatively quiet.
Shuisheng considered that there would be three more years of famine ahead, so he chose the foot of the mountain at the entrance to the village as the site for the foundation.
This place offers a view of the village, yet it's quite far from it, but it's very close to the farmland they were allocated.
Because there is a brick kiln in the village, the bricks they use to build their houses are fired with the help of villagers.
By the time the house was finished, two months had already passed.
The house was a brick and tile house with five rooms and a main hall. Ruolan also had the leftover bricks used to build a kitchen and a bathroom, and there was also a private plot of land next to it.
In the village, some people were plowing the fields, while others were cultivating rice seedlings.
After Ruolan and her family finished building their house, they didn't rush to move in; they wanted to let the house air out first.
Furniture needs to be prepared before we can move in.
Lin Sheng, the third son of the Xie family, knows how to make furniture. The other two Xie brothers were helping Shui Sheng before and didn't have time to make furniture. Now Shui Sheng and his family are moving and urgently need furniture.
Lin Sheng decided to work overtime by himself, so he didn't go to work on the slope with Uncle Jie and the others, and instead focused on making furniture at home.
Shuisheng and his family were assigned fields for seedling cultivation, but Shuisheng didn't have time. Their children were young, and his wife couldn't manage it all by herself.
They could only give rice seeds to Old Lady Jie, asking her to cultivate the seedlings she needed for her own family as well. Of course, it wasn't a waste of time; they were paid for it.
They naturally reconciled and didn't want the land and fields that their father had helped plow; they only provided for their meals.
Once the seedlings are well-developed, it will be time to transplant them in April or May.
Ruolan's house has been aired out and the furniture is all in place.
After choosing an auspicious day, the Xie family helped the family move in.
When Sister-in-law Xie saw the house built with new bricks and tiles, she was extremely jealous.
If they had known that building a house was so simple, they should have given the old house to the second wife.
They can just rebuild one of these houses.
As for why Sister-in-law Jie spoke so simply, it's because when others were building houses, she didn't pay much attention to it at all.
Seeing this new and beautiful house out of the blue, doesn't it make you think it's simple?
She regretted spending 150 yuan to buy her second son's old house; if she hadn't bought it, she could have used that money to rebuild it like this.
This house was built with their money, so they should be allowed to live here too.
Thinking about this, Sister-in-law Xie was somewhat tempted. She couldn't help but look at the second son's wife and tentatively asked, "What do you mean?"
"Ruolan, look how big your house is, with so many rooms. It must be quite a lot of work for you. Why don't we move in and live with you?"
Li Xiaocao felt a little tempted by her sister-in-law's shameless words, but also embarrassed.
After all, only someone with thick skin would dare to say such a thing. Who would let their brothers live together in a perfectly good new house?
And he's the second son who was separated from his family. It would be good if he didn't harbor any resentment, but he actually wants to take over someone else's house? How shameless can he be?
Standing next to Sister-in-law Xie, Li Xiaocao felt incredibly embarrassed.
Ruolan ignored her completely and walked straight up to push open the door to the main room.
When Aunt Xie saw this, a hint of displeasure flashed across her face. This woman was too improper. The man should be the first to enter the bridal chamber, as he would be the one to carry on the family line. Who knew that she would not know the rules and start making moves first.
She originally wanted to scold her second daughter-in-law, but after seeing her second son's silly, happy look, she decided to let it go.
Why is she worrying about the second child?
Looking at the envious people around her, Aunt Jie's eyes scanned them like a scanner, and they all seemed to have never seen the world before. It was truly embarrassing.
