Xue Daxi shook her head. “1 don’t want your money. Even if I do, I’ll just borrow it.” After some thought, she said, “l t d rather take a loan from Dafu’s family. I want to go back to the shop with Hongguo to work. While we work, he can deduct it from our wages as a way to pay him back. Hongguo and I are capable enough. As long as we work hard, we can pay back the money in less than half a year.”
Seeing his sister in such a miserable state now made him uncomfortable with accepting this loan. He hurriedly said, “you really don’t have to.”
Liu Guixia also said, “Yeah, what’s there to give back? It must have been so hard for you to get out of that house. Just live well in the future.”
Xue Da praised happily, “Good! It’s a great day for our family! It’s a good thing you’re out of that household!” Then, he said to Xue Dafu and Liu Guixia, “There’s no point. Since Daxi has this intention, just do as she wants. It’s not like you don’t know her temper. She’ll feel like she would owe you more if you don’t accept it. She’s right. She and Hongguo are capable women, and they can work. They don’t need us to protect them.”
Since Xue Da had said so, Xue Dafu and Liu Guixia naturally couldn’t reject the idea. Xue Dafu sighed and asked Liu Guixia to take the money as a loan to Xue Daxi.
Xue Daxi was very grateful.
Then, there was the problem of Xue Daxi and Du Hongguo’s residence, If Xue Daxi and Du Hongguo worked in the shop, they would definitely live in the shop. However, it was impossible for them to live in the shop all year round and not return to Locust Village, right?
The following day, Xue Dafu and Xue Dagui made their stand clear. They said that they had a room at home, and Xue Daxi and Du Hongguo could stay at whichever house they wanted.
At this point, Xue Daxi had her own plans.
Xue Daxi said, “If Hongguo and I don’t stay in the shop, we’ll stay at Dagui’s house for the time being. Didn’t his wife leave? If he’s in the shop all day, he won’t be able to eat a hot meal when he comes back. Hongguo and I can cook for him if we stay in his place. Hongguo and I want to afford a house on our own. When Hongguo and I have accumulated enough money, we will build a house in this village to be our home. I want Hongguo to have a home and a
husband. That way, Hongguo can always stay by my side. I wouldn’t have to worry about her being bullied by her in-laws. Moreover, it would be convenient for Hongguo to marry a loyal husband if she had a separate household in this village.”
Du Hongguo’s face turned red.
She did not expect her mother to think so far ahead.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s eyes met. They tacitly agreed that this aunt was also a very opinionated person. Moreover, their aunt was smart enough to sign the contract first to prevent Du Shanqiang from changing his mind.
Xue Daxi managed to out smart them and not be fooled. It was enough to show that she was a calm and collected person.
“Good!” Xue Da was even happier. “After breakfast, Darong will bring you to the village chief. Now that you’re back, you’ll have to register a separate household and won’t be in any of our household registration books. It just so happens that Xue Dafu’s shop in the county is opening tomorrow. They’re all going to the county tomorrow. You and Hongguo can follow them to the shop and start work there. The last time Sifu came back, he told me that if you’re back, you can go to the shop in the county to help if you are willing.”
The reason why Xue Sifu let Xue Daxi and Du Hongguo work in the county shop instead of the town shop was because the county shop was further away from Du Shanqiangs house.
It was better to be further away than closer to your ex-husband’s family.
Du Shanqiangs family wouldn’t even be able to reach Xue Daxi and Du Hongguo.
Qian Caiyu smiled and said, “Now that Hongguo has nothing to do with that family, does that mean that you have to change your surname?””
“Of course,” Xue Darong immediately smiled and looked at Du Hongguo.
“Hongguo, from now on, you’ll take your mother’s surname and change it to Xue. From now on, your name will be Xue Hongguo, understand? Later, I’ll go with your mother and tell the village chief about this..”
