The next day.

Yang Bai got up from the cadre guesthouse, while Zhang Ning was sleeping soundly next to him.

Touching the clean, tidy, and comfortable bed, I couldn't help but marvel at how different it was from a hotel.

It has a private bathroom with hot water from the taps, and apart from the shower and air conditioning, it's similar to a double room hotel suite in downtown London in 2020.

"Ningning, get up. We're separating households today."

Yang Bai glanced at the time; it was almost time. He needed to go back immediately after finishing the separate visits to each household.

Zhang Ning groggily opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Yang Bai's gentle face. This kind of life didn't seem so bad.

"it is good."

She reached out to Yang Bai, cupped his cheeks, and kissed his lips.

Yang Bai was taken aback by the sudden turn of events.

Zhang Ning said with a sweet smile.

"I don't think Sister Wanqiu has ever given you a good morning kiss."

Yang Bai shook her head. She really didn't remember ever having done that, mainly because she was afraid her daughter would see her so early in the morning.

Zhang Ning has really become bolder and bolder.

Where did you learn all this?

Zhang Ning got out of bed and said, "In the book, the foreign reading material you gave me."

Most foreign publications are banned and cannot be found in China.

But there are also many good books abroad. When Yang Bai goes to the county town, he occasionally goes back to browse the black market and buys some foreign books for Zhang Ning.

Yang Bai rubbed his forehead and smiled wryly, "Alright, get up, go to the brigade behind the mountain to get the certificate."

"Okay. But what if I need independent housing?"

Zhang Ning asked, "Currently, she doesn't have any independent housing."

But this is explicitly stated in the requirements.

"It's simple. The land for the new house has already been approved, and we're going through the cement approval process. Construction will be completed soon. The old house will only be taken over by the collective once I move my household registration to the new house. If I transfer the house to you now, you'll have an independent residence."

While washing up, Yang Bai said that a homestead can only be used for one person per household, and it would be fine to give the old house to Zhang Ning and then build a new one in the old house later.

"Yang Bai, thank you."

Zhang Ning got up and changed her clothes.

The two went directly to the district compound. This time, the gatekeeper was different, but he recognized Yang Bai and registered him directly before letting them in.

It's obvious that yesterday's events have already spread within their ranks.

Yang Bai got on his motorcycle and drove towards Houshan Village.

When the motorcycle drove into the back mountain, all the villagers turned their heads to look.

Almost every household knows what happened yesterday, and they were all incredibly shocked to see Yang Bai's motorcycle.

"Yang Bai can actually afford a motorcycle now, no wonder he knows the Party Secretary."

"The Zhang family is in a terrible situation now. Zhang Fu's son's wife went back to her parents' home last night and wants to get a divorce from him."

"She's already getting a divorce right after marrying him? Isn't that a joke?"

"Nonsense, the Zhang family has now offended the Party Secretary of the Prefectural Committee. Who would dare to form a marriage alliance with them? It's all their own fault."

"Yang Bai has gone from a gambler to someone who can ride a motorcycle. Zhang Ning has high standards."

......

There are all sorts of things on the road.

Yang Bai was curious because he hadn't even seen the bride yesterday; when he did see her, she was only covered by a red cloth.

I didn't expect her to make a choice just by listening from inside the house. She's quite clever.

"Ningning, everything is moving in a positive direction."

"Yes, Yang Bai, I love you."

Zhang Ning hugged him even tighter.

The motorcycle drove all the way to the brigade compound.

The door to the brigade secretary's office was still open.

Wang Fang stood outside holding her household registration book, and her hair had turned completely white overnight.

She froze on the spot when she saw Yang Bai riding a motorcycle.

"Yang Bai, did you steal this car from somewhere?"

Yang Bai got out of the car and said, "Whether it was stolen or not is none of your business. Today, I just want to get Ningning registered as a separate household as soon as possible."

Wang Fang's face was icy cold. If the look she gave Yang Bai could kill, Yang Bai would probably be dead tens of thousands of times over.

The three of them entered the Party Secretary's office.

The man sitting in the seat was not Sun Zhigang, but another middle-aged man.

"Secretary Wang, process the separate household registration."

Wang Fang spoke up.

Zhang Ning explained from behind, "He's the village head. I guess he's acting as the deputy head of the village since Sun Zhigang was taken away for investigation today."

Captain Wang didn't even glance at Wang Fang when he checked the household registration, but immediately stood up when he saw Yang Bai.

"Comrade Yang Bai, I am the acting Party Secretary and the head of the village committee of Houshan Village, Wang Lü. Hello."

"Hello." Yang Bai shook hands and said, "Let's get the separate household registration done as soon as possible."

Attorney Wang directly issued a certificate agreeing to the separate household registration.

Yang Bai asked, "Is there a tractor available? Can we take Wang Fang to the commune to complete the paperwork?"

They're going back today, and their motorcycles will take a long time to get there and wait for Wang Fang inside.

Lawyer Wang nodded, "Of course, we'll arrange it right away."

Yang Bai was backed by the Party Secretary of the Prefectural Committee, so even if the tractor was still working in the field, he would arrange to send it there first.

This is the most important thing.

With the help of tractors, the issue of dividing the property among households was quickly resolved.

In front of the police station, Zhang Ning held up a brand-new red household registration booklet, with her name prominently displayed in the head of household column.

She felt warm and happy. From now on, she and the Zhang family would be completely separated and would have no further connection.

Thanks to Yang Bai's help, he was finally freed from the days of being beaten and tortured.

"Yang Bai, we really owe you a lot today."

Yang Bai raised his hand and gently flicked her forehead, his tone amiable: "Don't be so formal with me."

"You unfilial daughter, what will you do without your parents in the future!"

Clutching her household registration booklet, Wang Fang's face was terribly gloomy. Full of displeasure, she got on the tractor and headed back to the village.

"Let's go home."

Yang Bai got on his motorcycle and waved.

Zhang Ning carefully put the household registration booklet in her bag and sat behind Yang Bai, hugging him tightly.

The fishing port in Hai'an County was crowded with people.

"Zhang Sheng, you dare mess with us? You didn't follow the big brother's plan and only made 600 yuan worth of fish. 600 yuan in three days, and you think that's better than my big brother? Go to hell!"

Yang Jun clenched his fists, almost driven mad with anger, ever since Yang Bai went to Anshan.

This Zhang Sheng, every day he leads them away from the location designated by Yang Bai, insisting on going to other sea areas.

He endured it for two days, but he really couldn't take it anymore.

He was still the same as always when he went out to sea today, and Yang Jun couldn't help but go up and punch him.

Liu Dade intervened and quickly disembarked to return to the brigade to resolve the situation.

Zhang Sheng sat in the chair, his face swollen, and said.

"Is your boss really that amazing? I'm already making a lot by 600 yuan in three days from ten tons of steel windows. You still don't think that's enough?"

"Fuck you! When Brother Yang was driving, he made five or six thousand a day, ten times more than you!"

Yang Jun was furious. If Brother Yang hadn't drawn up the sea area, it would have been fine, but now that the sea area had been drawn, he wasn't following it.

"Did you do it on purpose or accidentally?"

"I did it on purpose, so what? I just can't stand you guys. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even have earned six hundred dollars!"

Zhang Sheng glanced at him and said coldly.
