Originally, Zhang Xudong lived a relaxed and comfortable life. Relying on the medical clinic left by his grandfather, he had no worries about food, drink, or money.
However, after a nap, he w...
Zhang Xudong stood up, sighed and said:
"Okay, let's stop arguing, the house matter is settled.
Uncle, aunt, and sister, I am your only relative here.
Although our family is small, we don’t want our daughters to be looked down upon by their in-laws.
As a younger brother, it is my duty to prepare a dowry for my sister.
This is a matter between us two siblings, so don't worry about it.
Sister, this house is a gift from Xiaojing and me.
If you treat me as your younger brother, then please stop saying those inappropriate things."
After hearing what Zhang Xudong said, Sima Nianfang choked up and said:
"Dongzi, I know what you are thinking.
But without the house, what will you and Xiaojing do in the future? You can’t let Xiaojing down. "
He Jingxian walked over, hugged her arm and said:
"Sister Jing, don't worry. Brother Dong is capable of doing it.
We will definitely need a place to live when the time comes. You can just stay here with peace of mind.”
He Junqiang looked at Zhang Xudong and his daughter and felt completely helpless.
He thought for a moment and said, "Dongzi, if you want us to live here, that's fine.
But you have to agree to one condition. Otherwise, even if you give the house to your sister, we won’t live in it.”
Zhang Xudong glanced at He Jingxian and said helplessly:
"Uncle, tell me. Let me hear if I can agree to your request."
He Junqiang said stubbornly: "We can live here, but the owner of this house cannot be changed, and the title deed cannot be replaced.
Don’t talk about the dowry house anymore.
I won't stop you from giving your sister a gold mine as a dowry, but I can't stop you from giving her a house.
The wedding house should be prepared by the man, and there is no reason for the woman's family to provide it.
Besides, do your aunt and I have the nerve to live in the house you gave us?
Xiaofang, Dongzi, do you think what I said makes sense?"
Sima Nianfang nodded and said:
"Dongzi, we are young and don't understand the intricacies here. Let's just listen to uncle."
Zhang Xudong nodded. No matter what, as long as they could live here peacefully, that was enough.
