Era: Starting with the struggle to refuse being taken advantage of

Chapter 10 Centrifugation
Faced with Wang Yinshan's tearful complaint, Wang Degong glanced at Wang Jinshan with displeasure. Indeed, his eldest son had acted somewhat unkindly in this matter.

But before he could step forward to resolve the dispute, Zhao Yuju stepped forward first and said:

"Second brother, this is your fault. How could you argue with the eldest brother over these two rooms?"

"Although both of your families have five members, the members are completely different."

"Ya Fang is at the most difficult and crucial time for a woman. Only by having her own house can she get the best rest and ensure the normal development of the fetus in her womb."

"Although Xia An is not yet married, she is already an adult, and living with her brother still presents many inconveniences."

"In addition, he is about to reach the age of getting married and having children, so he should have a room of his own."

"On the contrary, your three daughters can continue to live together without any problem."

"Not only will it not be inconvenient, it will even be safer."

"Besides, women will get married sooner or later, and your family will become more and more financially secure, so you don't need any more houses at all."

The crunching sound was the sound of Wang Yinshan's teeth grinding together as he forcefully suppressed his anger.

He had known for a long time that his mother was biased, but he never imagined that she would be biased to this extent.

You don't know the pain until the knife falls on your own body; he finally understood the helplessness Wang Tieshan had felt before.

Why did my reasonable request become my problem because of my mother's unreasonable nagging?

With a last glimmer of hope, Wang Yinshan looked at Wang Degong, hoping his father would stand up for him.

Unexpectedly, faced with his earnest gaze, Wang Degong simply turned his head away and said:

"You all have your reasons, and it's not appropriate for me to interfere in this matter."

"Second brother, if you really want a house, then talk to the eldest brother about it."

"You can discuss the two empty rooms yourselves. I won't interfere in this matter."

What Wang Degong considered fair and just has now become the greatest injustice. Without his consent, how could Wang Yinshan compete with his juniors for the house?

Wang Yinshan never dreamed that in just a few minutes, he would be powerless to change the already settled situation before him.

The eldest brother is truly shrewd; no wonder he forced the third brother to request a division of the family property.

Looking at the calm and composed Wang Jinshan, Wang Yinshan really wanted to ask him, "Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for being so unscrupulous?"

Should I split up the family too?
The thought flashed through Wang Yinshan's mind, but it seemed to take root and he couldn't shake it off.

Wang Yinshan couldn't imagine how miserable his life would be in this house without Wang Tieshan as a cushion.

However, now is not a good time to propose splitting up the family, so he can only force himself to hold back and wait for the right opportunity.

Seeing Wang Yinshan back down, Zhao Yuju was overjoyed. Once again, she used her wisdom to manipulate her son.

Unfortunately, she will never know that she has already ruined a perfectly good family, and the seemingly loving family members have long since become estranged.

They were just waiting for an opportunity to fully ignite the conflict and cause the Wang family to fall apart completely.

Or perhaps Zhao Yuju wasn't unaware, she just didn't care!

……

Unlike the Wang family, whose relationship was fraught with conflict, Wang Chengpeng's family was overjoyed after moving to their new home.

Looking at the house in front of them, which still looked incredibly simple despite being carefully cleaned, they felt a deep sense of warmth.

It was as if the gloom that had been lingering in my heart had finally dissipated, bringing a sense of relief.

Before Wang Chengpeng could say anything, his mother, Liu Chunhua, stuffed a stack of receipts and money into his hands, saying:
"Cheng Peng, don't just stand there. Take the money and go to town with your sister to buy some rice, flour, and meat." "The reason this move went so smoothly is thanks to the help of our uncles and elders. We can't neglect them tonight."

"Besides, this is the first meal we've had since moving into our new home, so we have to make it a good start. Don't be stingy with your money."

People in this era are the most honest and kind, and they are happy to help each other in their villages and towns.

However, if you take advantage of them and try to get something for nothing, be careful not to suffer the consequences.

After all, everyone has a scale in their heart, and they can tell who is truly sincere.

If we neglect the relatives and friends who came to help this time, it will be difficult to ask them for help again next time.

Moreover, they were using their time to earn work points to help, so Wang Chengpeng's family should reciprocate in some way.

That's why Wang Tieshan agreed to treat all the relatives and friends who came to help with the move to a meal, as a token of his goodwill.

Although the move was complete, his parents still had many things to take care of, so the task of going to town to buy supplies naturally fell to Wang Chengpeng.

Given Wang Chengpeng's outstanding performance over the past two days, his father, Wang Tieshan, was naturally happy to entrust such an important task as purchasing with Wang Chengpeng's help.

Wang Chengpeng naturally wouldn't refuse the opportunity to go to town to make purchases.

Taking the money from his mother, Wang Chengpeng patted his chest and assured her:
"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter properly."

Seemingly to give her two children hope, Liu Chunhua was extremely generous this time.

Besides buying what they need, they can also save some money as activity funds to buy some small things they've been eyeing for a long time.

It was too late, and there were no more oxcarts going to town.

Aside from walking, the only other way for the two to get to town is by bicycle.

In that era, bicycles were a rare commodity, holding a status in people's minds no less than that of luxury cars in later generations.

Everyone treasures their bicycles and won't lend them out unless they're very close to the owner.

Fortunately, Wang Chengpeng's childhood friend, Wang Zidong, was well-off and had a bicycle, which saved Wang Chengpeng the trouble of borrowing one.

After borrowing the bicycle, Wang Chengpeng called out to the house:
"Meiyan, come on, I'll take you to town to buy some things."

As Wang Chengpeng called out, a thin, frail figure with dark skin ran out cheerfully; it was Wang Chengpeng's younger sister, Wang Meiyan.

In this day and age, going to town to buy things is a rare treat, so it's no wonder Wang Meiyan was so excited.

Looking at the thin figure in front of him, a trace of heartache flashed in Wang Chengpeng's eyes.

Following the trajectory of her past life, this frail figure will also embark on an extremely arduous path due to her own burdens.

Wang Meiyan, who was already somewhat malnourished, was even less likely to receive adequate nutrition after Wang Chengpeng's marriage. Her physical development was extremely poor, and although she was already an adult, her body still resembled that of a child.

Under these circumstances, it was almost impossible for Wang Meiyan to find a good husband. In the end, she could only reluctantly find a drunken cripple who was a generation older than her to live with.

Because she occasionally helped Wang Chengpeng, who was struggling financially, Wang Meiyan was frequently subjected to domestic violence by the cripple, leading to a miserable later life.
After discovering that she had died tragically, she broke down and jumped into the river.

Thinking of this, Wang Chengpeng secretly vowed that in this life, he would make sure his sister lived a happy and joyful life!

We must never let my sister repeat the same mistake!
With that in mind, Wang Chengpeng took his sister's hand and helped her onto the bicycle.

He even promised to take Wang Meiyan to town to buy some delicious food later, which made her beam with joy.

Riding his bicycle with Wang Meiyan on the back, Wang Chengpeng embarked on his journey to the town market.
