For rural folks, one thousand yuan was indeed a large sum of money. Little Sister Wang let out a sigh of relief upon receiving it, no longer needing to rely wholly on her fourth brother.
Wang Lin treated the village Party secretary and the brigade leader to a meal, and then her household registration was moved back to her parents' home. Since they only moved the household registration without dividing the village's fields, the villagers didn't ostracize her, with just a few gossips whispering behind her back.
Seeing her and her children's household registration under her parents' names, Little Sister Wang couldn't stop her tears and was finally comforted after a long talk by Sister Wang.
