Back then, Ji Ruili's man, Ge Kailin's second grandfather, died on the battlefield.
Ge Dingchou was still young.
In order to prevent the elder couple from bullying the orphans and widows of the second family, the father-in-law and mother-in-law cut the knot quickly and gave The eldest son and the second son separated, and the two old men followed Jiruili.
Ge Zezhong's father died first, and Ge Zezhong rushed to snatch the body home, thinking that according to custom, as long as he buried the old man and smashed the earthen pot for burning paper money, he would get the family property that the old man had during his lifetime.
But his mother is still alive and refuses to give her property to Ge Zezhong even if she wants to die, and the cadres of the village committee do not support Ge Zezhong.
As a result, Ge Zezhong actually sealed his father's coffin in two low houses that were originally used to raise cattle, saying that when his mother died, the two old people would be buried together.
Ge Zezhong did this, and one month after his father died, his mother was also coaxed to death.
After his mother died, Ge Zezhong actually sealed his mother's body together in the cowshed and refused to mourn.
Ji Ruili would rather give all her property to Ge Zezhong and cry for mourning for her parents-in-law.
Ge Xinchou also cried and begged that his grandparents should be buried in peace, but Ge Zezhong refused.
The house that Ge Xinchou and Hao Chenmei originally lived in was no bigger than a cowshed.
Hao Chenmei's trousseau furniture was crowded and piled up together to make room for it.
Except for the small kang where the couple lived, there was no open space in the house.
Son, people have to squeeze sideways to get in and out of the house.
When Hao Chenmei was pregnant with her first child, Ge Xinchou discussed with Ge Zezhong whether the house he lived in could be demolished and a larger house built on the original site.
Without the baby, the house he lived in would not be able to change at all.
Not open.
"It's up to you to do whatever you want.
You can build the house yourself.
If your family doesn't have the money to spend it on you," these were Ge Zezhong's words at the time.
Hao Chenmei was young at the time and was prone to anger when things happened, so she immediately started making a fuss.
For two days, Ge Zezhong was disturbed by her troubles and finally compromised, giving the two cowsheds to Ge Xinchou and Hao Chenmei.
But Ge Zezhong also had conditions.
He didn't care about the money and food it would cost to build the house.
What the house would look like was also their business.
Hao Chenmei asked Ge Zezhong: "Whose property will it be after the house is built?"
Without family division, all property acquired by children and grandchildren is considered family property.
"As long as you have the ability to build a house, the house will be yours."
These were Ge Zezhong's original words at that time.
It is very clear in the Ge Ze Center that the cattle house is an all-dobe house, without even a foundation, and the wood used is just thick sticks.
Even if the cattle house is demolished, there will be nothing available.
The small house where Ge Xinchou and his wife live , not much better than the materials in the cattle shed.
But Hao Chenmei couldn't make any more trouble.
The coffins of the two old men had been parked in the cowshed for three years.
This was Ge Xinchou's pain.
Now Ge Zezhong finally let go.
She couldn't bear to refuse, and she couldn't refuse.
To demolish the cattle shed means that Ge Xinchou's grandparents must be buried first.
As the old saying goes, pregnant women and babies under one year old should stay away from each other for a long time.
Otherwise, the pregnant woman will miscarry, the baby will have its soul taken away, and it will either become a fool or simply not live long.
But Hao Chenmei had no choice but to make every effort to organize the funeral.
Even though Ji Ruili took the responsibility, Hao Chenmei still had a miscarriage due to fatigue, and she would not be able to conceive for a long time.
She got married when she was eighteen, and Ge Kaisen only got married when she was twenty-nine.
After demolishing the small house that was connected with the cattle house, except for a few stones, bricks and tiles, there was basically nothing available.
Other materials to build the house could only be bought with money.

My father did not give me money, so I had to borrow it.
The most economical way is to build an adobe house, because you don't need to buy adobe, you can just build it yourself.
The few bricks and stones that were dismantled were not even enough to lay the foundation.
Ge Xinchou and Hao Chenmei did not dare to ask anyone to help dig the foundation pit.
They had to take care of other people's livelihood, so they dug it themselves, saving whatever they could.
Ge Dingchou was already married at that time, and it was not suitable for the couple to live in the backyard, so they borrowed someone else's house to live in.
Ge Xinchou had to go to work and could only stay at home one day a week.
Hao Chenmei finished her collective work during the day and had to work hard to dig a foundation pit at night.
Not only did her parents not even say a word of greeting, but they also thought that digging the foundation pit would disturb them when they slept.
Digging the foundation pit, tamping it, and erecting the foundation were not something the couple could do by themselves, so they had to ask for help.
Ge Xinchou and Hao Chenmei smiled at each other during the day and frowned at night.
It's not that the couple is stingy and doesn't want the workers to eat, but the couple is really worried about how much everyone eats.
The foundation has been raised, but the adobe bricks to build the house have not yet been laid.
The thickness of the adobe is the same as that of ordinary bricks.
It is rectangular and has the size of four bricks arranged in two rows.
Hao Chenmei cannot do this job.
She is a woman after all and is not that strong.
Even if she can lift a stone hammer, she cannot hit it.
Adobe.
Ge Xinchou worked hard every Sunday to make bricks without rest.
The weak and handsome young man at that time was suddenly turned into a rough black man.
Hao Chenmei's brothers-in-law, Manwa, Ge Dingchou, Ge Hechou, all took the time to help out, and there were also many men in the team who took the time to help out.
Even Ge Yiluan, who had not been in contact with his natal family for many years, asked his son to bring his two sons to help.
However, the father and son only worked in the fields and did not enter the village or talk to the villagers.
Even if you are building an adobe house, you must first build a brick wall more than one meter high.
Otherwise, when it rains, the adobe will be soaked in water and the house will not collapse.
The pillars supporting the four corners must also be made of bricks.
In order to buy bricks and lumber, Hao Chenmei kept doing sewing work.
She had to work in the fields during the day and stayed up late at night to do the work.
Ge Xinchou paid less in wages and had to borrow money from everywhere.
Because of this, Hao Chenmei had no shortage of money.
Quarrel with in-laws.
By the time the materials were ready, the ground was already frozen, so we had to wait until the spring of the following year before starting construction.
Building a house is a big project.
Ge Xinchou and Hao Chenmei spent the whole winter borrowing money and food to save money.
When building a house in the spring, we hire people to build walls, make doors and windows, erect beams, and install tiles.
Although the villagers don’t have to pay for their help, they have to take care of food, cigarettes, and wine every day.
All the savings of a winter are spent in a few days. .
After nearly a year of suffering, half of their black hair has turned white.
Later, I had Ge Kailin, who was born to be a puppet.
After five years, her hair became the gray it is now.
Now that the family is really going to be separated, Ge Zezhong asked Ge Xinchou and his family to leave.
It was obvious that he wanted to rob the house.
"Dad, why are you like this?
When Xin Chou and I built a house, you said that as long as we can build it, the house will be ours.

Now why are you not talking about it?"
Hao Chenmei asked loudly.
Ge Zezhong snorted coldly: "Humph, my name, Ge Zezhong, is written on the beams of the house."
It is an old local custom that on the day when a house is built and the beams are put up, the name of the owner, as well as the year and date of building the house, should be written on the beam plate.
No matter who built the house, the ownership belongs to the person written on the beam.
Homeowner
