Gaoling Village
Li Cuicui looked at her daughter's family with a splitting headache. "We gave you a settlement allowance earlier. Didn't you use it to build a house?"
Gu Yuanfeng glanced at He Tuping, then carefully cradled her pregnant belly. "Mother, what's the point of bringing that up now? Even if we wanted to build a house, we couldn't get the mud bricks. Look, you have a brick-and-tile house here. Just take us in for the winter. Once spring comes, we'll definitely go back to the village and build our own place."
"And what about your mother-in-law?" Li Cuicui glared at He Tuping. "Did they really just kick your small family out again while they kept a roof over their own heads?"
Seeing the family of three fall completely silent, Li Cuicui threw her hands up. "What about your rations? Don't tell me you brought three empty mouths over here just to leech off us two old folks?"
