Reborn in 1965, I can obtain resources just by sweeping the floor.

Upon hearing Su Chen mention that there was pork, the waiter's voice rose considerably, but he quickly covered his mouth, looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and pulled Su Chen aside.

Pork is only about 7 cents a month on the market, but it needs to be purchased with coupons. Each person is limited to two ounces a month, which means that many people who want to eat meat can only look at it longingly and add a little bit to their stir-fries to taste the meat flavor. The canteen staff are no exception.

After a tense standoff, Su Chen finally took out ten jin of grain coupons and twenty jin of pork, exchanging them for one hundred and fifty pork buns.

Since time was frozen inside the backpack, he wasn't worried about the buns spoiling. After finding a secluded spot, Su Chen put a large bag of buns into the backpack and then returned to his courtyard, satisfied.

Time flew by, and just as dawn broke the next day, there was a rapid banging on the door. It was obvious that the siblings Ma Fengqin and Ma Yinglong had come to cause trouble again.

After dawdling for quite a while, Su Chen finally got up and went outside to open the courtyard gate.

"You little brat, I thought you were dead. It's been so long since you opened the door."

"Have you thought it through? When do you want to go and complete the transfer procedures?"

Ma Fengqin stared intently at Su Chen with her triangular eyes, while her mouth chattered incessantly like a machine gun.

After a while, Ma Fengqin finally stopped outputting.

"Are you done talking? If you are, I have something to ask you."

"What kind of attitude is that? How can you talk to your own mother like that? You have no manners at all. Enough with the nonsense, just tell me when we're going to process the transfer."

Ma Fengqin suddenly felt that Su Chen seemed like a different person, but upon closer inspection, there was no change, which puzzled her greatly.

"What I want to ask is, what gives you the right to sign me up for the rural service program? What right do you have to sign me up?"

“You…I…just because I’m your mother, and your short-lived father is dead, it’s my turn to run this family.”

Hearing Su Chen ask about her going to the countryside, coupled with Su Chen's cold gaze, Ma Fengqin couldn't help but take a step back. However, she quickly realized that with Ma Yinglong and his son here, why should she be afraid of a mere kid like him? She immediately started shouting at the top of her lungs.

"You little brat, how dare you talk to your mother like that? As your uncle, I have to teach you a lesson."

Sensing that Ma Fengqin was somewhat lacking in confidence, Ma Yinglong and his son rolled up their sleeves and were about to rush up and teach Su Chen a lesson.

Su Chen's physical strength and physique were extremely poor, and he was no match for these two burly guys. Before they could even step forward, Su Chen immediately shouted.

“If you dare to lay a hand on me, I will report you to the police and make sure you never get this house. Now explain my situation about going to the countryside, and I can discuss the house with you.”

I'm leaving Beijing tomorrow. They can talk to whomever they want when they get back. I estimate I'll be able to handle this family by the time I return.

Seeing that Su Chen seemed to be relenting, the father and son exchanged a glance, and Ma Hu whispered a few words in Ma Fengqin's ear.

“Aunt, the matter is settled. I went to the information office the day before yesterday to inquire, and the quota has been determined. Even if he makes a huge fuss, it won’t change the fact that he’s going to the countryside. We might as well listen to what he has to say.”

“Xiao Chen, don’t blame your mother. Actually, I’m also reluctant to let you go to the countryside, but you know I only earn less than twenty yuan a month, and I still have to support your younger brother and sister. I really don’t have the ability to raise you. You are the eldest in the family, so you should think more about your younger brother and sister. You can’t just watch them starve to death.”

"Stop! Stop! I don't want to hear any of this right now. I can accept that you signed up for me behind my back, but I still need to make a living in the countryside. You have to give me half of my father's compensation money, or I'll report you to the local authorities."

Seeing the fake smile on Ma Fengqin's face, Su Chen forced himself to suppress his disgust and interrupted Ma Fengqin's performance.

"No way! That's compensation from the factory. You can't take it! You heartless little brat, you're trying to drive us three to our deaths! I don't want to live anymore! Everyone come and see, he's either their biological son or an unfilial son!"

Upon hearing Su Chen demand half of the compensation, Ma Fengqin immediately broke down and began a dramatic display of crying,闹事, and threatening suicide.

Watching Ma Fengqin's frenzied performance with a cold eye, Su Chen knew that if it was for the sake of his house, they would eventually compromise, so he wasn't in a hurry.

It took a long time before Ma Fengqin stopped crying.

"Have you made enough of a scene? If you have, let's talk about the conditions I just mentioned. The compensation from the factory doesn't belong to you alone; it belongs to our whole family. I should have a share of it. Plus, you sent me to the countryside without my consent and won't give me half of the money. I won't agree to this, and I certainly won't transfer the house to you."

"You... God, please open your eyes and look..."

"Auntie, come here, I want to say something to you."

Seeing that Ma Fengqin was about to start performing again, Ma Yinglong and his son whispered to each other, and Ma Hu stepped forward, grabbed Ma Fengqin's arm, and pulled her aside.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Upon hearing Ma Hu's suggestion to agree to Su Chen's terms first, and then get the money back once the house was acquired, Ma Fengqin thought for a moment and agreed. However, she knew the price would definitely not be half of what Su Chen had promised.

Ultimately, with the mediation of Ma Yinglong and his son, Ma Fengqin agreed to give Su Chen two hundred yuan as funding for his trip to the countryside.

"Now you can tell me when you're going to complete the transfer procedures, right?"

"Hehe! You don't expect me to agree with just one sentence, do you? We'll talk about the transfer when you give me the money."

Seeing the anxious looks on the faces of the Ma father and son, Su Chen chuckled, took out a stool from the house, and sat down at the doorway.

"You...you just wait!"

Su Chen's unyielding attitude nearly drove Ma Fengqin to the brink of madness again, but after some persuasion, she finally agreed to go and get the money.

Nearly two hours later, Ma Fengqin finally arrived in front of Su Chen with two hundred yuan in her hand. Watching Su Chen take the money from her hand without hesitation, Ma Fengqin felt her heart bleeding. Although Ma Hu said that he could get the money back later, the money was no longer in her hands.

"Now……"

"Excuse me, I'm hungry and need to get something to eat. You can wait if you want, or come back tomorrow if you don't."

"you……"

"What do you mean 'you'? If you dare to touch me today, I'll call the police right now. I'd rather donate the house than give it to you. You can try me if you don't believe me."

boom!

Watching Su Chen's dashing departure, Ma Hu angrily slammed his fist against the door frame.

"Dad, Aunt, what do we do after we take it off? This kid seems different today than yesterday."

Rubbing his aching fist, Ma Hu turned back to Ma Yinglong and Ma Fengqin and asked them a question.

The brother and sister exchanged a glance. Su Chen had given them a very strange feeling today, as if he had become a completely different person.

"What else can we do? We'll just wait here for this little brat. If he doesn't agree to transfer the house today, I'll beat him to death."

Furious, Ma Yinglong wanted to go inside to get some stools, but suddenly realized that Su Chen had locked the door. He wanted to kick the door open, but then he thought that after today, the house would be his, and if he broke the door, he would have to pay for the repairs himself. Helpless, he could only stand in the yard with Ma Fengqin and wait for Su Chen.

They waited and waited, but Su Chen didn't return. Before they knew it, the sun was already setting, but they still hadn't seen Su Chen's shadow.

"Could that boy have run off with the money, Auntie?!"

“He wouldn’t dare. Besides, where can he run to? The house is still here. He can run away, but he can’t hide.”

Just as the three were losing patience, Su Chen slowly walked back.

"You little brat, you're finally back. It's not too late yet. Hurry up and come with us to the neighborhood committee to get a certificate."

"What kind of certificate do you need? My grandfather acquired this house from someone else for a little over a thousand yuan. You think you can just ask for it? You're dreaming. I went out and inquired, and this house is now worth at least eight or nine hundred yuan. Give me the money, and I'll give you the house right away."
