Chapter 417: Chapter 420: Don’t Live with Dad_1
Tan Zhengyuan was dissatisfied with the meager gain, but couldn’t find any other valuable things, so he had to give up.
Only after he left did Hu’s Clan and her two daughters breathe a sigh of relief, grateful that they had always buried the bulk of their Silver in the corner of the wall, leaving only a few copper coins for petty expenses outside.
Otherwise, their entire family fortune would have been completely ransacked.
"Mom, I’ll help you with the work, and we’ll earn lots of money, then we can build a new house like Auntie from The Fourth Boss’s House," Er Ya said, tilting her head.
Hu’s Clan nodded vigorously, having their own house would mean they no longer had to live in such fear.
When the tax collection day arrived, the village chief arrived with a Government Official.
Tan Zhengyuan still only had Twenty Five Wen Money, but he wasn’t worried at all, he knew that if he didn’t have money, someone would naturally help him.
True to his expectations, when the government officer arrived, the Wang Clan paid his share as well.
Having lost over two thousand jin of grain, Wang Clan felt a pain in her chest.
The Fourth Boss’s House helped Hu’s Clan and her daughters pay the tax; why wouldn’t they help their own parents and brothers as well?
Fool, always favoring outsiders!
When she went out to fetch water and saw Hu’s Clan washing vegetables at the well, Wang Clan finally found an outlet for all her pent-up frustration and rage.
"From now on, either live with your eldest or get out, we need the storage room for other things," Wang Clan said from her superior position.
What right did Hu’s Clan have to live in the Tan Family’s house for free?
If she wanted to stay, she would have to pay the corresponding price. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Hu’s Clan quickly said, "It was all agreed upon at the time of the divorce, allowing me and the kids to live in the storage room, how can you go back on your word?"
"I’m not here to negotiate with you; we need the storage room this year. Clear out within three days, or I will throw all your stuff out," Wang Clan declared uncompromisingly, clearly pleased with Hu’s Clan’s pale complexion.
She didn’t believe that Hu’s Clan had any other choice; in the end, she would obediently move to the east wing.
With that, life for the main house would finally improve.
"Mom, I don’t want to live with Dad," Da Ya quickly objected. Ever since the last time Tan Zhengyuan beat them, they saw him as an evil demon.
Hu’s Clan nodded, the divorce paper was already written; she would definitely not move over and live with Tan Zhengyuan.
But she didn’t have enough money to buy a homestead and build a house right now, what should she do?
"Mom, can’t we rent a house in the village?" Er Ya asked timidly.
Hu’s Clan smacked her forehead, "We can, Er Ya is the smartest. You and your sister stay home and watch the door, I’ll go see whose house is willing to rent to us."
Many families in the village had one or two empty rooms, and they would surely be willing to rent them out, and the rent wouldn’t be too expensive either.
Half an hour later, Hu’s Clan came back; she had already made an arrangement with one of her sisters.
Seventy Wen a month, and they could even fence off a piece of empty land to use as a yard.
"Does that mean we can raise chickens and pigs?" Da Ya asked excitedly.
Hu’s Clan nodded, "Yes, but we’re living in someone else’s house, so we must keep it clean, and you must behave and not cause any trouble for anyone, understand?"
"Mom, rest assured, we will definitely behave!"
"We’ve always been well-behaved, haven’t we? We wouldn’t make any trouble."
The two girls quickly reassured her, eager to move out of this dreadful place!
Hu’s Clan nodded contentedly, feeling a bit sad to leave the Tan Family at first, but seeing her daughters happy, she had long forgotten that sadness.
After secretly paying the rent, Hu’s Clan began to Zhang Luo the moving preparations.
