"Auntie, there has to be a process for independence. You can't throw it away all at once.”Chen Zhengyu said bitterly.
"But…"
"Alright, Xiaobin's mom, let Zhengyu live there. Xiaobin, wait for two years.”The old lady decided.
"Then I'll get someone to clean it up properly in the next two days.”
Although Zhang Xiuzhen was still unwilling, she had to listen to her mother-in-law.
In his heart, he was already calculating how much money he would need.
If it was Chen Weibin, he would only need to clean up a little. However, if it was Chen Zhengyu, the treatment would be different.
It wasn't that she didn't feel sorry for her own son, but that no one would say anything bad about her own mother when her own son fell and fell.
However, it was different for a stepson.
The same thing, the same sincerity, if looked at separately, it would result in two different outcomes.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that with his current family background, he was a little tight.
After all, it seemed like they were just cleaning up the house and renovating it, but the broken tiles had to be replaced, right?
The floor had to be repaved, and the windows had to be replaced.
Other than that, there had to be furniture inside. There had to be a bed, a cabinet, and even a sofa.
There was no need for pots and pans. Everyone was eating together.
However, he had to prepare a separate washbasin and a thermos.
Finally, there was the honeycomb stove.
After calculating it bit by bit, the number increased.
And Zhang Xiuzhen only wanted to not treat Chen Zhengyu badly. She even unconsciously arranged it according to the posture of getting married in the future.
"I'll go to my eldest brother's house tomorrow and borrow some from him first.”
Zhang Xiuzhen had already made up her mind to borrow the power of her maiden family.
To be honest, as a stepmother, no one would be able to find any fault with her.
If he was still not satisfied, then he was greedy.
It was precisely because of her usual behavior that the old lady had always been satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
Even when she came to her son's house, she never pointed fingers. Other than occasionally involving Chen Zhengyu, Zhang Xiuzhen was in charge of all the big and small matters in the house.
"Xiaobin's mom, Zhengyu's grandpa left some money. Although it's not much, it should be enough to clean up Zhengyu's house.”the old lady said.
"Mother, keep the money for yourself. There is still money at home.”
Zhang Xiuzhen shook her head without hesitation.
Seeing that the two of them were about to argue, Chen Zhengyu had no choice but to step forward. "Grandma, Auntie, I think the two of you should stop arguing. I'll definitely pay for my own house. I already have a way to get the furniture. I don't lack anything. The only thing is that the master who repaired the house used cement and bricks. I don't know where to find them.”
Chen Zhengyu had never planned to let his family take the money from the beginning. He just had to trouble Zhang Xiuzhen to find him.
Yang Fangfang's already big eyes instantly widened as she looked at Chen Zhengyu in disbelief.
She had never thought that her second uncle would be so rich.
As someone who had just gotten married, she knew very well how much it would cost to decorate a house.
But since he was so rich, why did he have to buy old furniture before?
Was there something wrong with her?
"You have money?" Zhang Xiuzhen was a little confused.
According to her mother-in-law, the old man did not leave the money directly to Chen Zhengyu. He had been in the countryside previously, so where did he get so much money?
Even the old lady was looking straight at Chen Zhengyu.
She could be unprincipled when it came to her grandson, but at the same time, she was firm in her principles.
For example, Chen Zhengyu was absolutely not allowed to take any crooked paths.
"Ahem, I met a friend in the black market earlier. He asked me to buy some wild boar meat. The price is not bad. I'm thinking of going back to the countryside in two days and asking Second Uncle to help me hunt two wild boars.”
Chen Zhengyu used the excuse that he had found long ago.
His biggest problem now was that he had no job and no money.
If he brought food home often in the future, they would definitely be suspicious, so he needed a plausible excuse to calm them down.
"Hunt wild boars? Isn't it too dangerous?" Zhang Xiuzhen asked with a frown.
"It's fine. My second uncle and the others will go hunting in the mountains every year. When they sell the money, I'll split it equally with my second uncle.”Chen Zhengyu said.
"Stop talking nonsense. Your second uncle wants your money?”the old lady said.
By saying this, she basically agreed to this matter.
"But you should be careful. Try not to go to places like the black market as much as possible.”
"Grandma, don't worry. If we really want to trade, how can we go to the black market? We'll definitely meet at a safe place. After we sell the wild boar meat, we'll have the money to clean up the house.”
"That's fine too. If it's not enough, just tell me. Anyway, your grandfather said that the money is for you to get married.”
"It's still early to get married. There's no hurry.”
"It's not early anymore. When your grandfather was your age, he already had your second uncle. Your father was also married at this age.”
"I don't even have a job now. Who's willing to marry me? Let's wait for two years."
Chen Zhengyu also did not expect that as he spoke, it would become urging for marriage.
In his previous life, he was already 30 years old when he got married. In this life, he did not plan to get married early.
"You don't have a city residence right now, so you can't become an official worker at all. When your father comes back, I'll discuss with him to see if we can transfer your residence back first. After all, you're your father's biological son. It shouldn't be that difficult to just transfer your residence back.”Zhang Xiuzhen couldn't help but say.
Beside him, the old lady was furious when she heard that.
"It's all your grandfather's fault. When we were settling the household registration, I told him to put your household registration in the city, but he refused. He said that his grandson had to share the household registration with him. He had delayed his grandson's life.”
"Grandma, don't worry. When I return to the countryside in a few days, I'll burn some paper for Grandpa and talk about it.”
To be honest, Chen Zhengyu did not have the slightest obsession about whether he was a city hukou or not.
Anyway, he didn't depend on that amount of food to survive.
As for not being able to find a job without a city hukou.
Wouldn't that give him an excuse to lie down?
"Alright, when the time comes, help me scold that old man.”The old lady said with a smile.
She was very pleased that her grandson remembered to visit her grandfather's grave.
Although the old man had a bad temper and was stubborn, the two of them had never blushed in their lives.
When he left, she really wanted to follow him.
However, the old man held her hand and asked her to take a look at his great-grandson.
So she had to wait.
Until one day.
In the afternoon, Zhang Xiuzhen cut the fat meat and began to refine pork fat.
Instantly, the courtyard was filled with fragrance.
In his previous life, when Chen Zhengyu was young, he also refined pork fat to eat in the countryside.
He still remembered that his mother was refining pork fat, and he was drooling at the side. Then, his mother would give him a piece of meat that was oozing with oil.
In her memory, it was hot and delicious.
Later on, when he grew up, went to school, and stayed in the city, he basically ate peanut oil.
It no longer had the same taste as when he was young.
Now, smelling that familiar fragrance, his thoughts gradually drifted away.
The Yan family, who also lived in the front yard, was the first to smell it.
This Yan Clan was the Third Eldest Master, Yan Bugui's clan. He was a teacher.
If Second Uncle was a complete official fan, he wanted to be an official.
Then Third Master was a miser, and his calculations were very shrewd.
He was actually at home today. He didn't go to school because of his stomach ache and diarrhea.
