Chapter 693 The original wife sold by her husband 39
Wang Hongjun and his brothers have many children, and they are afraid that if the house is too small it will not be big enough for them. They are not short of money now, so when they build a new house, they all want to make it more grand so that they can have face when they return to the village.
At Yuanchun's instigation, they also built six side rooms and five gatehouses.
There is a road at the entrance of the Wang family’s homestead. After Xiaowa Village is established as a town, these gatehouses can be rented out as shops.
Yuanchun had a large front yard, so she also built five gatehouses. However, her gatehouses were completely separated from the main house at the back, and she opened the main gate on the side of the yard.
In 81, the rural land was distributed to each household, and Yuanchun and her daughter were given six acres of paddy fields and two acres of dry land. Yuanchun rented the land to the relatives with the most labor in the Wang family. They gave her kilograms of rice and kilograms of corn a year, which was enough for her and Xiao Niuniu to eat for a year.
It was also in this year that Wang's Supermarket opened two branches in the urban area. The eldest brother Wang and the third brother Wang brought their respective wives to the urban area, and the couple managed a supermarket.
A branch supermarket was also opened in the county town, and the two supermarkets were managed by two couples, Brother Wang Er and Brother Wang Si.
Yuanchun was responsible for going to the south to purchase various electrical appliances, clothing, shoes, socks and other items.
Yuanchun almost became a machine for transporting goods to and from the south. Of course, in order not to expose her location, most of the goods she purchased were delivered to county towns and urban areas by renting train cars.
Use the space to bring back a batch of goods.
In 85, a group of underground survey experts came to the village and rented houses from several families of Wang Hongjun's brothers.
Because their house is the best in the whole Xiaowa Village, and all the other houses are empty. When these experts came to Xiaowa Village, they set their eyes on their house.
Afterwards, rumors spread in the village that Xiaowa Village would soon be established as a town, and villagers who wanted to apply for residential land would have to pay to purchase it.
Believe it or not, the villagers started a trend of splitting up the family. In just three days, all the married people who were still living with their parents were separated and had to live on their own. According to the custom in the village, after the parents split up, they would choose to live with their eldest son and separate the other sons. But this time, the parents chose to live on their own.
In order to apply for an extra piece of residential land, the elderly family actually chose to live with their son.
Some people were even more extreme, and all their adult sons who had not yet married were separated from their families.
Although they were divided, they still ate from the same pot, which meant that the household registration was divided but the pot was not.
Seeing how the villagers were making such a fuss, the Queen Mother anxiously called her eldest son and asked him to give her eldest grandson away.
Among the Queen Mother's fifteen grandsons, only the eldest grandson has reached adulthood. He just turned 18 this year. The second grandson is 16 years old and is still one and a half years away from adulthood.
Under the persuasion of his mother who called every few days, Wang Hongjun had no choice but to send his eldest son, who had just entered his third year of high school, away.
I even took a day off and went to the village to make a separate book for my eldest son's household registration.
He went to the brigade again to apply for a residential plot for his eldest son.
Because there were too many people applying for homesteads in the village in the past few days, there were not enough places to go. Those villagers who did not get homesteads became anxious and made a big fuss in the brigade office.
There was no other choice. After discussion, several village cadres decided to divide up the large piece of sandy and rocky land at the entrance of the village that had been reclaimed a few years ago as residential land.
The villagers got what they wanted and happily let the village cadres go.
