Chapter 313 Subsidies for Rural Areas

To be honest, it is easy to find a partner in the city, but the prerequisite is that you have to have a job.

But it is not easy to find a job. The Ding family only has one job now. If it is given to Ding Jianguo, how will the family of five make a living?

You have to know that even after Ding Jianguo took over, his salary would have to be calculated from the beginning, so it would naturally be impossible for him to support a family of five.

Therefore, even though everyone knew that Ding Jianguo would take over Aunt Ding's job in the future, they were hesitant to do so. This was the reason.

But now there is a girl who wants to marry Ding Jianguo, and I don’t know what’s going on!

But before they could come to a conclusion, they heard a fierce quarrel breaking out in the Ding family.

"Mom, I'm your child too. Why do you want me to go to the countryside? Haven't you seen what the conditions are like there?"

As soon as everyone heard it, they knew it was Ding Aihong's voice. Everyone had a good impression of Ding Aihong. After all, he was a rare hardworking person in the family.

After her eldest sister got married, she took on all the housework at home by herself. Although she is still in high school, she takes care of everything inside and outside the house.

When everyone heard the sound, they hurried back to the Ding family's door. Some went to watch the fun, while others were genuinely concerned.

But Aunt Ding couldn't help but wipe away her tears: "Mom, there's nothing we can do about it. Your eldest brother has to get married when he gets older. Otherwise, our Ding family will have to rely on him to carry on the family line!"

"Mom, he's already 20. If someone wants to marry him now, what good can it be? Isn't it just for our family's job? If the salary drops after my eldest brother takes over, then our family will really have no way to survive!"

Ding Aihong saw it very clearly, especially the woman before. She had met her once and could tell from her face that she was not someone who would be easy to get along with.

Once my eldest brother gets married, my family will be completely controlled by my eldest sister-in-law, and no one in the family will have a good life.

But Aunt Ding was completely unmoved: "Aihong, I know I'm sorry for you, but you're old now, and every household has someone going to the countryside. We can't ask your eldest brother to go! He's getting married soon, and sooner or later, doesn't he still have to work?"

Ding Aihong looked at Aunt Ding in disbelief: "Ding Jianguo didn't even bother to help when his soy sauce bottle fell over at home. He just sits there doing nothing every day. With the condition he's in, is he even qualified to work?"

"I work so hard for this family. I get up before dawn every day to work, and rush home after school to clean the house and cook. Don't you see anything at all?"

Aunt Ding heard Ding Aihong's roar, and although she felt a little guilty, she quickly calmed down: "Every girl's life is like this! You don't have a partner, and you don't have a job. Won't you still have to go to the countryside after graduation? Even if you go earlier, it won't make any difference. I beg you as a mother, please give our family a way out!"

Ding Aihong looked at Aunt Ding in disbelief, and seeing that she had completely given up on her, she looked at Uncle Ding. However, he no longer spoke, but just lowered his head as if he didn't exist.

Ding Aihong looked at the family and finally gave up.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to go to the countryside, but she doesn’t want to give so much to this family, but be driven to the countryside for no reason!

"Okay, I'll go to the countryside! But from now on, you can just treat me as if I'm not your daughter! We'll sever all ties!"

After Ding Aihong finished speaking, she immediately took the household registration book and walked out. Aunt Ding saw this and quickly stopped her: "Where are you going?"

Ding Aihong pushed Aunt Ding away and said, "What are you doing? Didn't you force me to go to the countryside? If I don't sign up now, do you still expect you to send me to such a miserable place?"

Aunt Ding withdrew her hand awkwardly, wanting to say something, but Ding Aihong ignored her and left the courtyard.

Looking at this family's farce, even though everyone wanted to say something, they just kept their mouths shut.

This is their family matter. Besides, they have made up their minds, so it is naturally not something I can interfere with.

As everyone dispersed, Zuo Zhizhi quickly grabbed Aunt Hu and asked, "What's going on?"

Aunt Hu glanced at Zuo Zhizhi and knew that she had never experienced this before, so she whispered, "Aihong is thinking about herself!"

"It's not easy for her. There are rules for signing up early or late. If you sign up early, you can choose where you want to go. If you sign up late, you can only go to places where no one wants you!"

"What's more, if you take the initiative to sign up now, you will get a subsidy!"

Zuo Zhizhi suddenly realized that since going to the countryside was inevitable, she had to do her best to gain the greatest benefits for herself.

The first thing is to choose a place with a better environment. At least you can rely on your own labor to avoid starving to death.

Secondly, we have to get subsidies, otherwise if we send it to the Ding family, we really won’t be able to survive.

The most important thing is that since she has cut off ties with her family, she has to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Staying at home all the time will only annoy others, and they may even think about the subsidy, so she naturally has to prepare early.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Ding Aihong to get everything done.

She hasn't graduated yet, but it's easier to get a diploma at this time. She told the principal that she wanted to go to the countryside, and she got her diploma easily.

Then she immediately went to register to go to the countryside and got her own subsidy.

She borrowed needle and thread from her neighbor and secretly sewed the patch onto her own clothes before returning home.

Ding Aihong didn't have much stuff, so she packed up a little and left the Ding family with her things.

But when Aunt Ding asked about it later, Ding Aihong just gave her a cold look and said, "Since you're leaving, you'd better leave early!"

Zuo Zhizhi was still a little worried, but Aunt Hu quietly told her: "She's going to her sister's house!"

Zuo Zhizhi finally felt relieved. As long as she had somewhere to go, everything would be fine.

Although the people in the Ding family felt bad when they saw Ding Aihong's resolute departure, the sadness did not last long, and a new round of busyness began.

Because Ding Jianguo is getting married.

His previous statement about wanting to get married was not an excuse, he really wanted to get married, but his marriage partner was Ding Aihong's classmate. Perhaps that was why Ding Aihong stayed away from him.

Because as soon as the two got married, Ding Jianguo's wife had a fierce quarrel with the Ding family.

"What! All the subsidies for going to the countryside were taken away? Whose subsidies for going to the countryside aren't kept by their parents? Even though they will give them money, doesn't that mean the family won't be short of money?"

But when the people in the Dante family saw Ding Aihong leave so resolutely, they still felt a little reluctant.

Besides, since she had already been forced to leave, her sister naturally didn't have the courage to ask her for subsidies for going to the countryside.
