Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales

Chapter 504: Chapter 504: The Wicked Mother-in-law 50

Yuan Chun lazily raised her eyebrows and said, ”Don’t brag about how much money you’ve given me. The first time, the money I took from your house was barely enough to pay back to your elder brother for your education and marriage expenses. After that, the salary you and your wife handed in was just me caring for you in retirement. I’ve raised you for over twenty years, and you two only took care of me for three years. In the end, I’m still at a loss.”

”From now on, regarding my aging and eventual death, I don’t need you two to worry about it.”

”As for the money made from selling your jobs, consider it as the salary for me taking care of Sanlin and Siling. You two don’t think that just by contributing fifteen yuan a month for living expenses, everything will take care of itself, do you? That meals will magically be cooked and enter their mouths?”

Ma Laosan was left speechless.

Upon hearing that leaving the house empty-handed would sever ties with her old family and that she wouldn’t have to care for the old malicious woman ever again, Wang Yingying tugged at her husband’s sleeve and said, ”Xiangxi, since Mother wants us to leave without taking anything, we should listen to her. We’ll leave everything here for your two brothers.”

Seeing his wife agree, Ma Laosan could only swallow his grievances and agree to leave empty-handed.

In truth, even if he disagreed, what could he do?

Yuan Chun was Ma Laosan’s mother.

Besides obeying, Ma Laosan really didn’t dare make a scene. After all, he and Wang Yingying both had jobs, and if they wanted to keep them, they couldn’t create trouble.

Otherwise, if Yuan Chun made a visit to their workplace and caused a scene, they could lose their jobs.

Ma Laosan, filled with grievances, left Qinghe Village with tears in his eyes.

The day after the family split, Yuan Chun left Qinghe Village early in the morning, took a bus to the provincial capital.

located the position of the real estate management bureau, and Yuan Chun, after getting off the bus, went to a remote place, took out a bicycle, and rode to the bureau.

At that time, intellectuals who had moved to the countryside during the agricultural reform were returning to the cities. The authorities returned their houses and properties to them, and fearing that they would lose their extra houses, they started selling them, keeping only one for self-living.

Many wealthy people began buying houses and moving abroad after policy relaxations.

As a result, in recent years, there were many people selling houses in the city.

Yuan Chun looked at several properties before settling on a courtyard near the street, with three large storefronts at the front and four main rooms at the back, along with two side rooms, all made of gray brick and tile.

There was also a front yard of about fifty square meters, and behind the main house was a backyard of over a hundred square meters, with the total area of the house compound being over four hundred square meters.

The house was well-maintained, and what satisfied Yuan Chun the most was that, since the owner was eager to emigrate, all the household appliances and items, even the quilts and unwanted clothes, were left to Yuan Chun for free.

Due to the owner’s urgency to sell, the price was ten percent below market rate. Yuan Chun didn’t even negotiate and immediately paid one thousand eight hundred yuan to buy it.

The house was registered under Ma Xiangdong’s name.

At nine in the evening, Yuan Chun returned home to find Ma Xiangdong and Ma Laoer about to head out in a hurry. Yuan Chun asked, ”It’s so late, where are you going?”

Ma Laoer anxiously said, ”Mom, you’re back. Where have you been all day? We saw you hadn’t returned this late and were about to go to the team leader’s house to ask him to broadcast an announcement, so the villagers could help us search the mountains.”
