Chapter 75 You can call me Qiuying from now on!

Yun Ermei felt that today was a happy day.

She received encouragement and blessings from the mountain god, and her good friend also gave her the best name.

Holding the piece of paper with my new name on it, I felt my mood lift with the wind.

If you want to change your name, you must first get your household registration certificate.

Although I didn't want to go home and face my cold and mean parents, the strong desire to change my name overwhelmed everything.

The mountain god once said that when facing someone who doesn't like you, you don't need to try to please them.

Life is short, so live it the best way you can.

Yun Ermei discussed with Xu Changhe and decided to divide the grain and vegetables obtained from the mountain into two equal parts.

They each got a share, and Yun Ermei packed up her share now and took it to exchange with her father.

Xu Changhe didn't think it necessary. Why would he have to make a deal with his parents just to change his name?

Those grains and vegetables were earned by Yun Ermei herself, and he had no right to share them.

It was to save him that Yun Ermei was taken away by human traffickers. Not blaming him for the involvement is already being lenient. The food and vegetables are too hot for him to handle and he feels unworthy to accept them.

Yun Ermei said, "This is what it is... a blessing in disguise! If I hadn't followed you, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet the mountain god, let alone the chance to get these things. If you really want to make a fuss, the human traffickers were all caught by the mountain god, so no one else is eligible to take the things."

"Besides, if you give it a share, it will have an owner. If my mother were to throw a tantrum and ask for it back, she would have no reasonable excuse."

"We will eat the remaining food together. Good friends share happiness and adversity! When I earn money and buy food in the future, I will eat with you."

Xu Changhe was convinced by her and nodded in agreement.

Yun Ermei packed the food and vegetables in a piece of cloth and held it in her arms, which was like a big watermelon.

She hurried home, thinking about the wording of the negotiation as she walked.

When I got home, I found that my younger brother Yun Shengnian was not there.

Her father was sitting in the main room smoking a pipe, while her mother was busy in the kitchen.

Xie Wenshuang had sharp eyes and spotted Yun Ermei at once.

The anger from the morning had not yet subsided, but instead was accumulating more and more in the midst of a lot of dirty and tiring work.

Normally I don't think the dead girl is that important, but when I'm the only one left to do the work, I can't stand the intensity of the labor.

Now seeing Yun Ermei coming back, he thought she came to surrender and apologize.

She snorted sarcastically and walked into the kitchen.

He was thinking in his mind how to scold and bully Yun Ermei if she came over and bowed her head.

Yun Ermei didn't intend to pay any attention to her mother and went straight to the main room to find her father.

He put the heavy bag on the table and said bluntly,

"I want to split up and change my name. You give me your household registration certificate and these grains will be in exchange. I won't rely on you for support in the future, and you don't have to worry about me. When I make money, I will give you some money for your retirement."

Yun Hongyi frowned upon hearing this, knocked on the table with his pipe, and scolded:

"Nonsense! You just had a quarrel with your mother. Is it necessary to make such a mess? Go and apologize to your mother right now. Let's just forget about what happened today."

How can he live his life after kicking his teenage daughter out of the house?

The villagers would laugh at him, and how could he save face?

Yun Ermei had already anticipated her father's reaction, and patted the big bundle and asked, "If we divide the family, these grains and vegetables will be given to you. Don't you want them?"

Of course Yun Hongyi wanted it, and even felt that he should give it to them.

What children earn should be handed over. It is naive and ridiculous to use it to negotiate conditions.

Today, while I was busy working in the fields, I listened to bizarre stories for most of the day.

It is said that there is a mountain god on the nameless mountain who will catch bad guys and give them food for free.

If you don't believe it, I have real grains and vegetables to testify to your belief.

A grain of rice is larger than both of an adult's palms combined, and a leaf of vegetable can cover the entire face.

More than one family received things, and it is said that those who participated in the follow-up help can also get a share of supplies.

Yun Shengnian had been sent out by him to investigate the situation, and if it was true he would join in directly.

Food is hard to come by during famine years, so any opportunity must be seized.

I heard that Yun Ermei got the first batch of food last night, and Yun Hongyi was waiting for her to hand it over voluntarily.

Who knew that the person really came, but what he talked about was the division of the business.

There was an obvious sound of an argument in the main room.

After Xie Wenshuang went in, the argument turned into a heated one.

Yun Ermei negotiated with her parents for two full hours before they finally settled the matter.

In the end, Yun Hongyi and Xie Wenshuang agreed to split up, and the household registration was also allocated to Yun Ermei.

That bundle of supplies was considered as a gift to honor the parents, and the Yun family did not give anything to Yun Ermei.

After Yun Ermei gets married, she will need to give her parents 10 yuan in pension every year.

The Yun family will decide whether to give a dowry depending on the circumstances. If Yun Shengnian gets married, Yun Ermei, as the older sister, will have to help out with money.

The conditions for dividing the family property were outrageous. Yun Ermei had to leave the house with nothing and would have to pay so much money in the future.

But Yun Ermei wanted freedom so much that she didn't want to continue being suppressed at home.

So she agreed, signed the separation document, took her household registration certificate, and went to the village chief to handle the separation and name change.

The village chief was so angry when he saw this that he immediately went to the Yun family to seek justice for her.

Yun Ermei held him back, and after a lot of persuasion, the village chief finally gave up the idea.

When the job was finally done, Yun Ermei breathed a sigh of relief.

She held up her household registration certificate and looked at it, her young face full of smiles.

"From today on, I am Yun Qiuying!"

***

At 6pm in the evening, the takeaway ordered by Yunzhen arrived.

I ordered it from a famous health restaurant, with three dishes, one soup and two bowls of rice.

The dishes are relatively light, and we specially selected those that are nutritious and good for the stomach.

Yun Ermei and Xu Changhe are in the growth and development period, so they must have comprehensive nutrition, including eggs and milk every day. She even considered buying some multivitamins for them.

I told Yun Ermei in advance at noon and asked her to bring a few more plates in the evening.

Yunzhen doesn't have any suitable containers here, and the enamel bowls and plates purchased online have just been shipped, and will take at least 2 or 3 days to arrive.

There are more and more utensils in Lilliput, and her bookcases are starting to become "unusual".

Except for the two columns on the far left and the far right, which actually contain books, the middle and upper layers have become "exclusively for Lilliputians".

My parents were quite puzzled when they saw it and said that the way she placed her books was very unique.

When the agreed time arrived, Yun Ermei came up the mountain happily and handed the family's dinner plates and rooster bowls to Yun Zhen.

Yunzhen was moving food outside the bookcase while listening to her share what happened today.

When Yunzhen heard that she was arguing with her parents about dividing the family business and changing the name, he felt very distressed and thought about helping her more in the future.

When Yun Zhen heard that she decided to live with Xu Changhe, he wanted to remind her of something, but then he felt that he was worrying too much.

It is not a bad thing to have someone you can trust and rely on during famine. Young boys and girls are kind-hearted and can go more steadily and further by supporting each other.

However, just after Yunzhen finally shrunk the meal and handed it to her.

Unexpectedly, she heard Yun Ermei tell her:

"Lord Mountain God, my new name is Yun Qiuying, Qiu for autumn and Ying for hero! You can call me Qiuying from now on!"

Yunzhen slipped and nearly fell, and stood up in a daze.

As if he couldn't react, he asked the girl in the bookcase for confirmation:

"W-what? What's your new name?"
