Chapter 675: Chapter 675: The First Wife Sold by Her Husband 21

Yuan Chun looked at the few elders who cared about her, feeling touched, "Grandpa Qi, Third Master, Third Granny, Fifth Granny, don’t worry about me. I don’t plan to get married for now. I’m thinking of having the village approve a plot for me to build a house, and move out from my family home to live."

"Building a house, that costs money, why waste that money?" Grandpa Qi’s face turned a bit dark. "Chunyazi, tell your great-grandfather, do you not want to live at your parents’ house because someone there is giving you a hard time?"

"No, no, my brother and sister-in-law treat me well. I’ve been married for several years, and my parents, brother, and sister-in-law haven’t let me go out to work for labor points. They’ve all earned the points to support me and Niu Niu."

After a pause, Yuan Chun continued, "It’s just, no matter how you say, I’m a daughter who’s been married off. I can’t live at my parents’ house for life, can I? Grandpa Qi, I want to move out from my family home, and I need you to persuade my parents for me, otherwise they won’t agree to let me go."

Fifth Granny interjected, "Chunyazi, if you ask me, just stay there, don’t move. What’s the point of all this hassle? If your family doesn’t let you live there, bring Niu Niu to stay at Fifth Granny’s house, Fifth Granny will let you stay."

Third Granny’s eyes sparkled, "Chunyazi, come stay with Third Granny, sleep by her side. Though Third Granny’s sons aren’t much, they earn enough labor points to feed you and your daughter."

Yuan Chun found this both amusing and frustrating, "It’s not that my parents won’t let me stay, I just... I’m a married daughter who’s always living at her parents’ place, I’m afraid of people gossiping."

"Who dares gossip about you? Fifth Granny will tear their mouth apart."

"Chunyazi, you’re the only daughter in three generations of the Old Wang Family. Who in the village dares bully you? Third Granny will take your uncles and go fight them. You’re the precious gem of our Old Wang Family, no one can bully you."

Grandpa Qi lowered his face and asked, "Chunyazi, did you hear someone in the village gossiping about you?"

"No." Yuan Chun suddenly felt that deep love sometimes comes with unspeakable dilemmas. She smiled bitterly, "Grandpa Qi, Third Granny, Fifth Granny, I’m now a divorced woman. I can’t let my parents, brother, and sister-in-law support me all my life. It’s fine for me alone, but I have Niu Niu. I can’t let my parents, brother, and sister-in-law help raise Niu Niu too."

Yuan Chun looked towards Niu Niu, playing happily with her little nephews not far away, her lips curving upwards, "Even if it’s just for Niu Niu, I should build up this little home of ours."

"You really want to move out?" Grandpa Qi looked at her seriously.

Yuan Chun nodded, "Grandpa Qi, I’ve saved enough money to build a two-room brick house, enough for Niu Niu and me to live in."

"Alright then, when your dad gets back tonight, I’ll talk to him. It’s good you’re moving out, so those gossiping women in the village won’t spoil your reputation."

Grandpa Qi was the former village head of Xiao Wa Village.

Later, as the village established a brigade office, Grandpa Qi’s position was replaced by the brigade captain, and the commune chose her dad as the captain. Yet Grandpa Qi held significant prestige in the village, and when he spoke, no one dared not listen to him.

Even now, villagers call him the old village head.

By mid-afternoon, someone in the village delivered a cartload of firewood in advance.

Many people went from Yuan Chun’s house; Wang San and the elder and second sisters-in-law had also delivered two cartloads of full firewood first.

Yuan Chun quickly entrusted a few kids to Third Granny and Fifth Granny to watch over, while she went home to help unload the wood.
