Forced to join the Liangshan Mountain rebels (metaphor): was forced to revolt / being forced to take certain actions.
He Jihong’s calculation was very good. Her daughter was divorced, and she would have some property in her hand.
The gold, silver and jewelry were not worth as much as a house. She didn’t think of this at first, but it after Old Mrs. He reminded her that she thought about it today.
Chu Yuanzhi’s two properties would be equally divided, one for her son and one for her daughter. Although the bungalow was old, it was pretty big and at a strategic location. After a good repair, it would be quite comfortable to live in. It was a hundred times better than those cramped small houses in the courtyard.
These two houses were originally owned by Chu Yuanzhi. And with a word from Old Mr. He, the departments would work very quickly, so it would take only one month to complete.
But Chu Yuanzhi was somewhat reluctant. He wanted to give the bungalow to his own daughter, and Xu Bilian was not his own daughter.
“I have promised Qiao Qiao a long time ago that I will give her the bungalow.” Chu Yuanzhi whispered.
He Jihong’s smile immediately froze and sank, then she sneered: “You could get this house back because of my hard work! Without our He family, you wouldn’t even be able to get a single brick. Chu Yuanzhi, you should be conscientious. Since you are not going to agree, then I won’t bother to care about it. You can take care of it yourself!”
“That’s not what I mean. I know that you have made a lot of effort. I’m aware of it. Then, what do you think about this? That bungalow is for Bilian and Qiao Qiao. The bungalow is quite big, and it’s more than enough for the two sisters to live in.”
Chu Yuanzhi thought of a way to get the best of both worlds1 and tried to make amends, hoping that He Jihong would agree.
1Get the best of both worlds : to do one thing to consider both sides, so that both sides get benefits.
“No, you can’t. Why should Chu Qiao get it? It was me who got this house, so of course I will give it to Bilian. Chu Yuanzhi, You can’t refute that. Even if you want to give it to Chu Qiao, is she eligible to receive it? She has a rural hukou, so she didn’t have the qualifications to settle down in the city. You don’t know this policy, right? I will tell you right now that this house can only be given to Bilian and you cannot disagree!”
He Jihong looked at Chu Yuanzhi contemptuously. She had been thinking about this bungalow for a long time.
The modern-style house must be given to her son, and the bungalow must be given to her daughter. As for that little bitch Chu Qiao, don’t even think about it.
That’s why she didn’t agree to move Chu Qiao’s hukou to the city. That was because of this policy. This was her mother, Old Mrs. He’s idea. She said that Chu Yuanzhi would definitely want to give the house to his own daughter. So she had to guard against him, and her mother was really right.
Hmph, Chu Yuanzhi was such a heartless being. He had been eating and drinking from her for all these years. He could live such a good life, it was all because of her.
But the one he thought about was still his biological daughter, Chu Qiao. These father and daughter were all black-hearted creatures. Fortunately she had been prepared.
“Jihong, did you already have such a plan? That’s why you didn’t agree to move Chu Qiao’s hukou before.” Chu Yuanzhi’s voice was filled with repressed anger, but only a little bit. After all, he didn’t have the courage to resist He Jihong. But he was quite angry at the same time.
He Jihong glared viciously and cursed: “What? You want to go against me?! So what if I did it on purpose? Does Chu Qiao deserve to get this house? Chu Yuanzhi, don’t forget, who did you rely on all these years? Without me, He Jihong, you would still be the bullied son-in-law in the countryside. You have to think about it clearly!”
Chu Yuanzhi clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. Although he was useless, it didn’t mean that he had no temper. He Jihong poked his old scar like this, and he was really angry.
“Surnamed Chu, if you don’t want to live here anymore, then you can just get out of here, and you don’t have to stay in the hospital too. Even without you, laoniang2 would still live well!” He Jihong immediately threatened.
2laoniang (老娘): I / me (used arrogantly or jocularly), it was usually used by women.
And the little courage that Chu Yuanzhi just got quickly collapsed. Then he smiled flatteringly at her, “My wife, please calm down. How could it be possible for me to not want to live here, the times I’m living with you, it’s my happiest time. I will massage your shoulder. Do you feel stiff here?”
