When Third Uncle Lin’s two daughters-in-law were driven out of their own home, they packed up all their belongings and moved into an empty, abandoned house in the village. Later, the two of them went to the brigade headquarters and applied for two adjacent plots of land, one for each family.
Taking advantage of the spring season when the villagers had time to spare, the two women took a portion of the money they had withdrawn from their father-in-law’s savings account and built three large brick-and-tile rooms each.
The house deeds were registered in their own names.
