Actually, although Ma Laosan worked in the county town and didn't stay home often throughout the year, the original owner favored him and left him a room, forcing Qian Hongmei and her two daughters to live in the shed.
It was a drafty thatched hut.
Fortunately, this was the south, so it wasn't too cold in winter; otherwise, Qian Hongmei and her daughters would have frozen to death.
And now, Yuan Chun was here, and of course, Yuan Chun wouldn't let Ma Xiangdong's family live in a thatched hut.
Yuan Chun looked at Daya and Erya and instructed them, "Go pack your mother's things and move to the west front room. Your parents will live there from now on. Pack your things too and move to your aunt's room."
"Okay, grandma, we'll do it right away."
Both Daya and Erya were very happy to move into a new room.
