40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

After Yun Chengli put forward these two conditions, Wang Yulan thought for a long time and chose the house plus one dollar per month. They agreed that the family would move out within six months.

She thought about it carefully. Although food is expensive now, 20 kilograms of fine grain are worth a few dollars, but there will be a time when the price of food drops. By then, kilograms of food will not even be worth one dollar. In the long run, it is still more cost-effective to have a house and money.

Little did she know that she would regret this decision to her heart's content in the future.

After the two parties had reached an agreement, they asked the village chief and two elders to act as witnesses and wrote the division document in triplicate. The village chief and the two elders, as well as Wang Yulan and Yun Chengye and his wife, and Yun Chengli and his wife signed and put their fingerprints on it.

Each of the three parties kept a copy of the division document, and the division event came to an end.

The next day, Yun Chengli quickly moved into the village and found a place to build a house far away from Wang Yulan's residence.

With the money in his hand and some money borrowed from the rich man, Yun Chengli built a large brick and tile house in the village, which had six bedrooms, a main room, a kitchen, a toilet, a woodshed, a pigpen, and a chicken coop.

In order to make water use more conveniently, a well was dug so that people no longer had to fetch water or go to the river to wash clothes.

Yun Feifei's brothers and sisters all had their own rooms and bought new furniture. The children also got several new sets of clothes and shoes.

The household chores were enough to keep the children busy, not to mention that they were so young, so they were reluctant to let them go to the fields. Since the couple had no time to work in the fields, they handed the fields over to others to plant, and they split the harvested crops in half.

Yun Chengli and his wife returned to their daily routine of leaving home early and returning late.

Yun Feifei took her younger brothers and sisters to do housework, including washing clothes, cooking, mowing the grass, picking wild vegetables, and feeding pigs and chickens.

The five siblings are very familiar with these tasks. They used to do them every day, and if they didn't do them well, they would be beaten and scolded by their grandmother.

Now they can arrange their work time freely and go out to play after finishing the work.

They could eat their fill every day, no one would snatch their white flour buns, and they also had meat to eat.

In the past few months, their bodies have become stronger, their cheeks have become plump, and their complexions have become rosy.

In contrast, the eldest brother's family became in chaos. Over the years, they had developed a lazy nature and just kept telling Yun Feifei and the others to do the work.

Now that Yun Feifei and her family have moved away, all the work falls on them...

Yun Feifei absorbed this memory. She had lived in the apocalypse for ten years and had not felt the warmth of family for a long time.

She envied the original owner's supportive brothers and sisters and loving parents. These days were the happiest time for Yun Feifei.

The good times did not last long. More than a year ago, an accident happened that shattered the family.

On this day, five siblings who were working at home received a message from someone sent by the rich man's family telling them that there was a fire in the rich man's house and their parents had both died in the fire.

The five siblings were heartbroken and rushed to the rich man's house, where they saw the charred body. At this time, grandmother and uncle also rushed over.

As soon as they came over, they shouted towards the rich man, asking him to come out. The five siblings thought that they had heard the bad news and rushed over to see their parents.

But who would have thought that after seeing the rich man, they actually asked for compensation.

The rich man's family paid 500 yuan as compensation for the death of Yun Chengli and his wife. When Wang Yulan saw the bag full of money, her eyes lit up and she took it without hesitation.

When Yun Feifei wanted to take the money, Wang Yulan stopped her, saying that the five siblings were still young and she would keep the money for them.

Then grandma brought my uncle's family into their new home, and the five siblings began their life of slavery again.

Yun Feifei tried to ask the village chief for help, but her grandmother said that Yun Feifei, the eldest in the family, was not even 15 years old yet, so how could several children manage the family?

She was their grandmother and would not harm them, she evaded the question.

Yun Feifei watched her brothers and sisters, whose bodies had just recovered, gradually become thinner. They were no match for their grandmother, and Yun Jiaojiao and her siblings.

So he moved to the old house with his younger brothers and sisters, which was the home they lived in before.

It was impossible for Yun Feifei and the others to get some food or money from grandma. As soon as they asked, grandma asked them to move back.

If I move in with my grandma and her family, there will be endless work to do and I won't have enough to eat, so of course I'd choose to stay away from her and her family.

They could only rely on the 50% of food harvested from their own fields and the wild vegetables they dug in the mountains to fill their stomachs.
