Lu Jueyu didn’t sit down and said, "Uncle Li, Team Leader Han is here to see you. I’ll go to the kitchen first."
Only then did Father Li and Li Chenmo notice the people following behind her. Seeing the group of strangers, Father Li said, "Team leader Han, please have a seat. What brought you here at this time?"
Han Yuheng sat down beside Li Chenmo, and said, "Uncle Li, I’m sorry to disturb you so late, but the matter is urgent. So, I can only thicken my face and come here."
"Team leader Han, what’s the matter?" Father Li asked.
"It’s like this. These are the educated youths sent here by the central government to receive re-education. Now we don’t have any spare houses for them to live in. So I want to ask Uncle Li if they can live in Uncle Li’s house temporarily? They will only stay for one or two months at most. They will move out as soon as the house is complete," Han Yuheng said.
"As for the rent, the production team will pay you with work points. You also no need to worry about their food. They will work on the fields to earn work points," he added.
After a while, Father Li said, "It’s fine for them to live in my house. But you see, my third son is getting married in less than a week, and it will be very inconvenient for my daughter-in-law to live with a group of strangers."
Hearing Father Li’s words, Han Yuheng was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Isn’t the wedding date still two months away?"
Father Li glanced at his son and said, "In this matter, the two families feel that it is better for Xiaoyu to get married earlier. In this way, she will not have to travel back and forth, and it will be easier for her to take care of her husband."
After listening to Father Li’s words, Han Yuheng fell silent. He never expected such a situation to arise. Under normal circumstances, the woman’s family will wait until the groom is fully recovered before agreeing to marry off the daughter.
After all, if the son-in-law cannot fully recover, or if some complications occur during the recovery process, the daughter will become a widow at such a young age, and her future will also be affected.
Now, because of this matter, he has no other choice but to find another place. Although it is a pity since the Li family has two vacant rooms, which are very suitable for these four educated youths, he cannot force the Li family to accept them.
When he was in a dilemma, he heard Li Chenmo say, "Father, don’t we have a house on the mountain foothill? Jueyu and I can live there after we get married. So, they can stay here to accompany you temporarily."
Although all land needs to be returned to the state, villagers can still own their houses as long as they pay taxes. But because the taxes were expensive, most villagers would choose to return the house to the state rather than keep it like the Li family did. ƒrēewebnovel.com
