Chapter 4 Moving


"No way!" Chen Hao Mei had her hands on hips. Turning her head around, she found Xu Xiao Jiao and Song Wei Ping being intimate and she was even more infuriated, "What do you look like! As expected, a non-biological child can’t be raised close. I want face even if you don’t want face."

Xu Xiao Jiao glanced at Xu Yan Yan, "I don’t have face just for talking to a male? It is better than some people who wrote down the matter of drilling cornfields with other people and putting it in a tree hole for others to see, no?"

Chen Hao Mei choked into a stunned state. As soon as she brought her son and daughter-in-law into the village this morning, she heard a group of people gathering together and jokingly talking about something cornfields. Daughter-in-law liked drama and went over to ask about it before running back in embarrassment. She didn't expect it to be her daughter, Yan Yan’s matter.

"That's all because Yan Yan wasn’t taught well! Besides, Guang Hui's Mom told me a long time ago that you aren’t worthy of Guang Hui. Yan Yan and him are a natural match. She had already discussed with me about getting them engaged together. The two of them are almost like a couple. Is it your turn to gossip here!"

She retorted forcefully. Not daring to criticize Xu Xiao Jiao anything, she took out a piece of paper and handed it to the village branch secretary, "Branch Secretary, we originally wanted to move my family's Yan Yan's household registration to the city. But she reached the suitable age and had been educated. Even if she goes to the city, she has to go to the countryside again. So the higher-ups signed this form to transfer Yan Yan's household registration to the educated youth's collective household registration. You can handle the matter of moving Xiao Jiao's household registration to Xu Family."

She patted Xu Yan Yan's hand, "Yan Yan, change your surname to Zhao. First listen to me and transfer your household registration to a collective household. Then Mom will work on some connections before you return to the city and become a city resident."

Xu Yan Yan was overjoyed in her heart but suppressed it. On the surface, she was worried about Xu Xiao Jiao, "What about Elder Sister Xiao Jiao?"

Xu Xiao Jiao looked at pretentious Xu Yan Yan and felt disgusted within, "Of course I changed to Xu. You move out, and I move in. You don't have to worry about anything else here."

She was called Zhao Xiao Jiao every day. She wanted to change it a long time ago. She turned to Wu Chun Hua and couldn't say the word 'Mom' for a while. So she just asked her, "Have you brought the household registration book?"

Wu Chun Hua knew that Yan Yan had been looking forward to being recognized for a long time. Her biological daughter was Xiao Jiao. Looking at Xu Xiao Jiao, who looked very similar to her husband, her eyes warmed up, "Don't, lass, if you move in, you will suffer with me in the future."

Xu Xiao Jiao was taken aback for a moment. This was the first time she felt real love from her elders after transmigration.

"It's okay. I'm not afraid of suffering. Don't worry. Even when I'm an ordinary community member, I can lead our family to live a good life in the future."

Chen Hao Mei curled her lips when she heard that, "Ha, a good life. Look at you, do you look like you can endure hardships? You don't know the five grains, nor do your four limbs work hard. Enough. I can't be bothered with you. Yan Yan, go get the household registration book and let Branch Secretary correct it .”

Seeing Branch Secretary stamping the household registration book, Chen Hao Mei's daughter-in-law, Wang Man Chun’s mind spun and she pretended to wipe away her tears, "Xiao Jiao, don't blame us. Yan Yan had suffered bitterness in the past twenty years. Mom wants to make it up to her. If you work hard in farming here in the future, maybe you will be able to be successful."

Never thought this eyesore younger sister-in-law would leave the family one day. What's the use of being good-looking? What's the use of being favored by Father-in-law? In the future, she will plant the land for a lifetime. This was fate. She deserves it!

Xu Xiao Jiao looked at the three words ‘Xu Xiao Jiao’ on her household registration book and nodded in satisfaction. These three words vibed with closeness. When she saw Chen Hao Mei who was clamoring to take Xu Yan Yan to Wu Chun Hua's house to pack her things, Xu Xiao Jiao handed the household registration book to Wu Chun Hua, "You go back first. I will go to the educated youth center to pack up my things and move over in a while."

Seeing that Xu Xiao Jiao ignored her, Wang Man Chun wanted to say something, but Song Wei Ping pushed her aside with one stride, "I'll help you."

Xu Xiao Jiao smiled, "Okay."

Wang Man Chun was boiling with anger. Facing Song Wei Ping's gaze, she didn't dare to say anything. She could only storm after Chen Hao Mei.

While Zhao Xiao Hai didn't follow.

The three of them left the yard. He called to halt the two who were about to leave, "Xiao Jiao, our Dad said that you have been wronged."

He took out twenty yuan from his pocket, "You know how Mom's temper is. As long as Dad says a word, she’ll make a fuss. Dad said, he will find you a job in the city when the chance arises. For now, you have to be aggrieved for a few years."

Xu Xiao Jiao sighed. The original owner's adoptive father truly loved the original owner. The twenty yuan saved by the original owner should have been given by her dad. It was a pity that he was henpecked. If not, the original owner wouldn’t be so cowardly.

It didn't matter anymore. She won't take the money anymore, "You keep the money. I don't want it. Don't worry about me. You can go to Xu Yan Yan's side. Having Elder Brother Wei Ping accompanying me to the educated youth center is enough."

There was no trace of sadness on her face. Song Wei Ping was a little uncertain what was going on in her heart, so he just kept silent all the way.

Xu Xiao Jiao looked at him, "Hey, Song Wei Ping. I heard that my biological Mom and your family are in the same production team. Our two families are also close to each other. Will you help me once I go to work?"

Song Wei Ping didn't know how she could call 'Elder Brother Wei Ping' so intimately in front of people and then switch to 'Song Wei Ping' freely behind them.

After much deliberation, it can only be the reason she said- she didn't want to get married and was just looking for a shield.

It just so happened that he didn't plan to get married either. He originally planned to wait for his Grandmother to pass away and live his whole life on his own. He was carrying debts and who knows how many years it’ll take him to pay them off. No need to harm a family’s daughter.

If he hadn't woken up in the same bed with her that day, he wouldn't have softened his heart and promised her. Fine, okay, just make do with it.
