Chapter 8 Separation
Du Lianqiao decided to talk about some things, he said: "You may not know that Yuhan is not the biological daughter of our Du family at all, she was entrusted to our Du family by a revolutionary military couple, and she also gave our Du family a child support at that time.
But my stepmother didn't give Yuhan a penny, and let Yuhan work since she was a few years old, and she didn't give her food.
If that couple is still alive, it must be a big deal, and what if one day they know that their daughter is being treated like this?"
Everyone present was shocked when they heard Du Lianqiao's words, it turned out that Du Yuhan was not the bloodline of the Du family, no wonder Liu Cuilian treated him so harshly.
Du Yuhan was also surprised, she didn't expect her father to choose to make her life experience public at this time.
Du Dachuan and Liu Cuilian didn't expect Du Lianqiao to tell Du Yuhan's life experience in front of so many people.
Liu Cuilian said angrily: "I raised her so big, she should repay me." ”
Du Lianqiao retorted: "But at that time, you also received a pocket of ocean from others, which was enough for Yuhan to eat and drink all these years." Besides, Yuhan has been working since she was a few years old, and she eats her own rations and our second room, but she doesn't eat a bite of your food. ”
Liu Cuilian said viciously: "It's useless for you to say that the sky is broken, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, I have to marry whoever I ask her to marry." ”
Du Yuhan knew that it was time for him to appear at this time. She walked up to everyone and said, "Captain, now that it's a new society, does the state advocate freedom of marriage and oppose arranged marriages?"
The captain nodded and said, "Yes, arranged marriages are illegal and punishable by imprisonment." ”
The captain also didn't look down on Liu Cuilian's behavior, and deliberately said something heavy to scare Liu Cuilian.
The director of women's affairs also said: "Yes, it is illegal for women to be liberated now and not to persecute women. You will go to jail and be criticized. ”
Liu Cuilian was a little scared when she heard that she was going to prison. But she was really unwilling to lose the bride price money that was about to arrive. The youngest son also pointed to the bride price money and said that his daughter-in-law was there.
Du Yuhan looked at Liu Cuilian's rolling eyes and took the opportunity to say: "Milk, if you promise to let us separate the second room, I will agree to this marriage, you will not be considered an arranged marriage, and you will not have to go to prison." ”
Du Lianqiao was really embarrassed when he heard that his daughter really wanted to exchange her lifelong happiness for the freedom of their second room, and he wanted to oppose it on the spot.
As soon as Du Yuhan saw that Du Lianqiao was about to speak, he grabbed his hand tightly and shook his head.
Du Lianqiao finally closed his eyes and remained silent.
He was conflicted and didn't know if it was right to let his daughter marry into the city. If there is really a catastrophe, there will be at least commercial food to eat in the city, and there will be a way to live.
In this era, rural people aspire to become city people, and they don't have to face the loess with their backs to the sky every day.
And Wang Yuqiao, who was next to him, also covered his mouth and burst into tears. She didn't know that her daughter was exchanging her lifelong happiness for the opportunity to survive in their second room. This is still when the daughter knows that she is an adopted daughter.
Liu Cuilian looked at the second room all day long, if it weren't for their rations to subsidize the family, she would have kicked the second room aside for the second room to work for the family to earn centimeters.
Liu Cuilian was quickly calculating the pros and cons in her heart. The three boys in the second room will grow bigger and bigger, and they will be more and more able to eat in the future, and they will have to tell them about their daughter-in-law in the future, and they will not get much benefit from the second room in the future. It's far worse than the bride price this time.
Besides, the youngest son will have to say that his daughter-in-law will use it, and she is still waiting to use the bride price money to tell the younger son that his daughter-in-law will use it.
Liu Cuilian gave Du Dachuan a look all the time. Of course, Du Dachuan understood what the old woman meant.
Du Dachuan also thought about what his second son said just now, if Du Yuhan's biological parents are still alive, they must be big officials. Because when Du Yuhan was entrusted to their family to raise, the two of them were not small cadres in the army.
This time, Du Yuhan's marriage was voluntary by her, and even if her biological parents found her in the future, she couldn't say anything, and their Du family could still get a bride price.
Otherwise, in the future, his wife will find someone for Du Yuhan, and Du Yuhan is unwilling to be troublesome in the future, so it is better to solve it this time.
As for the second son's family, he will divide it, and he has many sons, not worse than this one. As long as they pay filial piety money on time every year.
After Du Dachuan thought about it, he knocked the cigarette pouch in his hand and said, "Then divide it." In the future, the second room will be divided, and we will give the old couple fifty catties of cornmeal every year. That's what it means, and I don't want much. ”
Du Lianqiao looked at his father and didn't say anything about his second room, and he obviously wanted to exchange his daughter for a bride price. But now that it has come to this point, he can't say anything.
Liu Cuilian began to add conditions again, "Since the family is separated, it is two families, and you can no longer live in the family house in the second room, you have to move out." You can remove the things in your house, but you don't have to do anything else. ”
Liu Cuilian also thought that the house at home was tight, and her youngest son had to prepare a new house when he got married, and the second room could just be refreshed as a new house.
Du Yuhan was thinking about how to move out of Du's house, and Liu Cuilian's request was in line with her. It's best to stay away from the two families, and you don't have to worry about being discovered by the Du family if you eat something at home in the future.
Du Yuhan hurriedly took his father's hand and motioned for his father to agree.
Du Lianqiao looked at his daughter's gesture and had to say, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss with the village leaders to borrow a house first and move out." ”
Du Yuhan said: "Then ask the village leaders to write a certificate to our second room, and we can talk about anything in the future." This year's rations were also given to us for two rooms. I will also make good on my promise to agree to the marriage in the city that my grandmother told me. ”
As soon as the leaders of the village saw that Du Dachuan and Du Lianqiao nodded, they wrote three copies of the same certificate according to the conditions just said, and after signing and pressing the handprint, Du Dachuan had one, Du Lianqiao had one, and the brigade had one copy.
The two-bedroom household will also be a single independent household, completely separated from the Du family and become an independent family.
After the certificate was written, Du Lianqiao discussed with the village leaders to borrow an empty house in the village to live temporarily.
There are indeed a few empty houses in the village, all of which are left behind after the death of lonely old people who have no children and no daughters, and most of them are in disrepair and dilapidated.
The village made the decision and lent a house that was a little better to Du Lianqiao's family to live in.
Although Du Lianqiao got his wish, he didn't feel happy, because this was what his daughter bought with her lifelong happiness, how could he be at ease?
However, in order not to let his daughter's hard work go in vain, Du Lianqiao did not delay for a moment, and took his family to clean up the house lent to him in the village, pulled out all the wild grass in the yard, and cleaned up the roof, doors and windows of the house.
