Grandma Chen smiled so much her face was all wrinkled, and then glanced at her youngest son on her right.

Look at Penghua, he knows he should be filial to his parents.

“Dapeng, it would be lively if you moved back. There’s a four-bedroom apartment in Jinjing Garden with one room available. That’s where you’re staying now…”

Chen Penghua knew that his grandmother would definitely agree, so he continued to coax her in a low voice:

"Grandma, I have other uses for this house in Sunshine Garden."

Xiaoling is pregnant, and the doctor said it's a boy!

At that time, Xiaoling will live alone in the Sunshine Community until she gives birth.

However, we need to tell the public that the house has been rented out.

Chen Penghua whispered the last part in Grandma Chen's ear.

"Really?!" Grandma Chen exclaimed excitedly.

She almost screamed, but then she remembered that having another child would mean having a second child in secret, so she immediately covered her mouth with her hand.

It was her grandson's hand that was resting on her shoulder; otherwise, she would have jumped up.

As Grandma Chen gets older, some of her regrets keep tugging at her heartstrings.

Besides worrying about his second grandson who is in prison, he also worries about his eldest grandson, as he doesn't have a son yet.

At this moment, Grandma Chen was so happy that her eyes were practically closed with her teeth showing.

But... my wife is the women's director of the neighborhood committee. What are we going to do about this over-birth?

How to keep it a secret from the eldest daughter-in-law?

Hmph, no matter what, Xiaoling is carrying Wang Fen's grandson. Doesn't she want a grandson?

She and her husband, as her parents-in-law, pleaded with her firmly.

Wang Fen will probably turn a blind eye.

At this moment, Aunt Wang Fen sat quietly with an indifferent expression.

She would glance at her grandson Chen Junxin from time to time, and also take care of her husband, Uncle Chen.

She did not watch the interaction between her eldest son and mother-in-law.

As for her eldest son saying that the whole family wanted to move back and live together, she had no objection.

Having a man in the house to help out definitely makes things easier for her, as her in-laws are getting old and can't do much housework.

She herself is already in her forties or fifties.

She's busy both at home and outside, and she also has to go to work. Sometimes she's so tired that she feels numb.

Previously, Wang Fen looked down on her sister-in-law, Li Yumei.

Leaders have said that women hold up half the sky, but she was completely oppressed by her mother-in-law and gave birth to five daughters in a row.

But now, looking at my brother-in-law's family, each of his five nieces is outstanding in her own way.

To be honest, Wang Fen was already envious and green with envy.

If she weren't always working at her company and maintaining a composed demeanor, she would have revealed a ferocious and jealous expression.

If Li Yumei knew what her sister-in-law was thinking at this moment, she would first want to curse her.

It's easy for someone standing there without feeling the pain. You have two sons, why are you making such sarcastic remarks?

Furthermore, she would straighten her back and boast without any attempt to hide it, saying, "Yes, all five of my daughters are outstanding."

At this moment, watching her eldest cousin's performance and the way he lip-read, Chen Xihua's lips curled up. It turned out he was planning to secretly have a second child.

As expected of the Chen family, their preference for sons over daughters is timeless and passed down through generations. The Chen family's throne certainly needs an heir.

I wonder what my aunt, the women's director, will do when she finds out!

"Fifth sister, is eldest cousin really good at scheming?"

Suddenly, Xiao Liu whispered something in her ear, his eyes showing a shrewdness that seemed to see through everything.

A while ago, many brothers in the family compound got into a fight over the allocation of housing.

"Hmm?" Chen Xihua tilted her head and glanced at him, somewhat suspicious.

She could tell from Xiao Liu's words that it wasn't about having a second child secretly. So what was it?

Because she owns many houses, she couldn't think of anything for the moment, but Chen Xiuhua next to her did.

"Xiao Wu, it's about the house."

The house in Jinjing Jiayuan that was provided to Uncle's family is about 100 square meters, with four bedrooms and a living room; while the house in Yangguang Garden has three bedrooms and a living room, and is over 80 square meters.

Uncle Chen has two sons. Although his second cousin is not living with them for the time being, they own two houses, and in the future, each son will definitely get one house.

Now my older cousin Chen Penghua has suggested moving back to Jinjing Jiayuan. He's really cunning; he's thinking he'll never move again.

After the elders in the family pass away, the big house will be his, in the Sunshine Garden, while the small one will naturally be left to his second cousin.

"Oh!" Chen Xihua suddenly understood. She hadn't thought of it that way before, since it was just one more room.

In her previous life, she had seen many wealthy families where brothers fought tooth and nail over inheritance.

But those are all in the tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. Chen Xihua really couldn't have imagined that this would be a room of only twenty square meters.

Since the topic of the house came up, Chen Xihua thought of another scheme Chen Penghua had been plotting:

"And then there's the grandparents' pension, and the aunt's salary. Now that the young couple is unemployed, they want to sponge off their parents!"

"Yes, yes, Fifth Sister, that's what I was just about to say."

Chen Baohua looked down on him; his family was the father, and he always wanted to take advantage of his fifth sister's money.

When the family reunion dinner was almost over, Grandpa Chen coughed twice, stared at Chen Lao Er, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Second son, your mother and I went to the hospital for a check-up a while ago. We're getting old, and we have some problems with our brains and blood vessels."

The doctor suggested that it would be best to take some imported medicine.

Each bottle costs only 500 yuan. If you buy one bottle a month, your mother and I will spend 12,000 yuan a year on medicine.

This money will be paid by your family. Now that your family has a lot of money, ten or twenty thousand is just a small amount.

In addition, my parents' living expenses will be readjusted to 100 yuan each per month, which is 2,400 yuan per year.

In total, you only gave us 14,400 in a year.

If you are even more filial to us, you can give us 15,000 yuan.

"Starting tomorrow, the first day of the Lunar New Year, if you have any cash at home when you go back later, bring next year's money to me tonight."

"Wh-what? Fifteen thousand?" Upon hearing this, Chen Lao Er's voice cracked, and he stood up abruptly.

He looked at his father with disbelief.

His face, which had just been full of joy, instantly fell.

Moreover, the anger in Chen Lao Er's chest began to spread, and he felt suffocated.

Li Yumei was also filled with resentment, anger, and bitterness, and was on the verge of exploding.

Old man, are you trying to eat the flesh of immortals? And it costs 15,000 a year.

The three siblings, Chen Xihua and her brother, seemed not to have heard what Grandpa Chen said at all.

Even everyone present, especially Uncle Chen's family, looked at the three of them with curiosity.

Chen Xihua and the other two continued to eat slowly and leisurely, enjoying their meal immensely.

Chen Lao Er's anger had subsided after a brief moment.

He also looked at Chen Xihua and found that Xiao Wu was ignoring him, which made him feel a little aggrieved.

However, Chen Lao Er quickly calmed down and instantly reverted to his usual reckless self.

He said in a nonchalant tone, "Dad, Mom, I don't understand the money you're calculating."

However, whatever amount your elder brother's family gives you for your retirement, I will give them the same amount. I am your son, and I will absolutely not skimp on the retirement allowance I am owed.”

"Second brother, do you have any filial piety or compassion? How are you going to give us money for our old age when your older brother is in this condition?"

Grandma Chen looked displeased, put down her chopsticks and scolded her.
