"What kind of house?"

Su Wu was completely baffled by Du Lijuan's question.

"That's the house that girl bought for Xu Meili. If Xu Meili goes to live with her daughter in the military, the house will be empty!"

"Hmm, and then?"

"What does this have to do with us!"

"You're being completely unreasonable!"

Su Wu washed his face, dried it with a towel, and couldn't understand women's thinking. What did this have to do with them?

Seeing Su Wu's stubborn expression, Du Lijuan got angry, "How can you say it's alright!"

"You're her biological father!"

"How can you be so ungrateful and not know how to enjoy your good fortune!"

"You raised her to be this big, and she even bought a house for her own mother. Why didn't she know to buy a house for you, her own father? Why are you living in this shabby house? The houses in the city are brick and tile houses. I saw them myself. They are square, three rooms, standing upright, with a well inside, making it convenient to fetch water. There are also small courtyards in the front and back."

"Since Xu Meili is gone, we can stay here. The house can't just sit empty!"

Su Wu touched Du Lijuan's forehead. "You don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense!"

With a "slap!", Du Lijuan knocked Su Wu's hand away.

"How could I be so confused? That house is just sitting empty anyway. You're her biological father, what's wrong with her living there!"

Du Lijuan fell in love with the house at first sight.

She dreams of owning a house in the city.

"I think you're not just confused, you're delusional. Have you even considered whether Xiao Wu'er will let you stay here or not? Let's just say, if you live in a city house, what will you eat? What will you drink? Do you have a city household registration? Do you have a food ration book? Do you have a job?"

"You have nothing, yet you're still daydreaming! You're just a typical rural woman who has to work in the fields every day to earn work points. Are you crazy enough to go live in the city?!"

"What's wrong?"

"You come back from the city every day to go to work? You really have an idea!"

Su Wu ignored Du Lijuan and talked nonsense even though he wasn't sick.

This life is so boring!

"How could I be crazy? Think about it, if Xu Meili is leaving, then there will be a free period at work. Go and get that job, and then the three of us can all enjoy subsidized food rations with you!"

Su Wu pursed his lips tightly, pointing at Du Lijuan several times in anger.

"Du Lijuan, I really want to beat you up!"

"You have the nerve to ask my ex-wife for a job?!"

"How come I didn't realize you were so shameless before? Why don't you go ask your ex-husband for a job!"

"He's dead, where am I supposed to go?" Du Lijuan muttered under her breath.

"Then burn paper money for him, cry your poverty and grievances to him, and ask him to arrange a ghost messenger for you in the underworld, or to give you an extra hundred years of life with a wave of his hand."

Su Wu kicked the table in anger, only to remember that the table leg had broken and he had tied it with stones. He hugged his toes, grimacing in pain.

Du Lijuan rolled her eyes in exasperation. "How could that be!"

"You fucking know it's impossible!"

"What, does Xu Meili owe us something? She gave us the house and the job for free. Each one is worth more than a thousand. If you add these two together, we might not even be able to get two thousand."

"You've been dreaming all day. You should go wash up and go to bed. You can have anything in your dreams. Go make a wish with your ex-husband and ask him to grant your wish!"

Du Lijuan was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Du Lijuan saw Su Wu leave with the blanket.

"I'm going to sleep next door so I don't disturb your dreams!"

Su Lingwu and the others had no idea what had happened when Su Wu returned home.

That evening, Zhao Yongjie arrived at the hospital looking disheveled.

He took two hundred yuan and gave it to Su Lingwu as compensation.

Su Lingwu wanted to ignore the marks on Zhao Yongjie's body, but she knew without a doubt that he had been scratched by the old lady when he got home.

They definitely didn't want him to take the money, but Zhao Yongjie had no choice but to compromise for the sake of his two sons.

The two sons of the Zhao family also completely broke up, because the second son and his wife, along with the old lady and Sun Nana, moved in, but the compensation money had to come from the family fund of two hundred.

The old lady disagreed with taking two hundred, saying that twenty yuan would be enough and there was no need for so much. But Zhao Yongjie was afraid that Su Lingwu and Fu Linchuan would be dissatisfied, so he simply took two hundred, which was actually a compensation for Xu Meili.

It's inappropriate for him not to give a single penny after the two divorced and their son stayed with Xu Meili.

The Zhao family was thrown into chaos over the two hundred yuan. The two sons started fighting, and the old lady was making a scene, saying she had no money left for her funeral.

Zhao Yongjie looked worried.

"Uncle Zhao, I'll accept this two hundred on behalf of my mother. You two can handle the formalities after my mother is discharged from the hospital."

Su Lingwu took the money Zhao Yongjie handed over and put it in Xu Meili's hand.

"Beautiful, I..."

"Don't say anything more. We're not meant to be. Don't worry, I'll raise Guoyao well."

Zhao Yongjie stepped forward to pat his son's head, but Zhao Guoyao dodged it, lowered his head, and remained silent.

"Stay close to your mother, don't be naughty, and if you need money, write to your father."

Zhao Guoyao still ignored his father, his eyes red and swollen as he struggled to hold back his tears.

Xu Meili slowly moved down to Zhao Guoyao's bedside and hugged her son.

"It's Mom who's sorry."

"mom!"

"You won't abandon me, will you?"

Zhao Guoyao is only ten years old; he is still very young.

He knew that his mother was going to join her sister and brother-in-law in the military and might not come back.

What about him?

Will he go too? Or will he be left with his maternal grandparents?

Although she is young, she knows that she is a burden.

Su Lingwu and Fu Linchuan felt very sad when they saw Zhao Guoyao's insecure appearance. Although they knew that this decision was the right one and good for everyone, it meant that Zhao Guoyao had lost his complete family.

"Guoyao, we will always be a family. Mom will never abandon you, and your sister will never neglect you. We will live together from now on."

"Look, your sister is pregnant. You'll be my uncle from now on, and you'll have to help me take care of my little nephew. You're not superfluous; you're very important to our family."

Su Lingwu could understand Zhao Guoyao's feelings.

Anxiety about the future, fear of being superfluous and abandoned.

"Really, sis?"

"Of course!"

Fu Linchuan also came over. "Guoyao, from now on you are the little man of our family. When your brother-in-law is not home, you have to take good care of Mom and your sister for him."

"Yes, I'm sure I can do it!" Zhao Guoyao nodded with a smile, his eyes red.

The family of four smiled happily.

……

The next morning, Fu Linchuan received the test report, which was indeed positive.

Before Fu Linchuan could send a message to the Fu family, the door to the ward was pushed open.

"My dear in-law, how's your injury? Is it getting better?"

"Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, what brings you here!"

Su Lingwu was quite surprised to see that her in-laws had all come over.

The Fu family members came in carrying a lot of things.
