Chapter 290 Who will take care of my parents?

Gu Yan sent Manager Liu back to Dejitang, and then went back to Gu Bei's house without stopping.

This was the first time that fathers, sons and brothers sat together to discuss the issue of their parents' retirement.

"Since you brothers are here, let's discuss and come up with a plan regarding retirement today." Gu Chongshan filled a pack of cigarettes, lit it, and took a puff.

"I'm the eldest, let me start by saying that my mother is sick and can no longer live in the mountains.

My suggestion is to move out so that it will be more convenient to see a doctor.

The problem is where to let my parents live.

The second son said that he wanted his parents to live in his house, but you have all seen the situation in his home.

There were only two rooms, the couple lived in one, and Zhiwen and Shuanzi lived in the other.

If his parents came to stay, Gu Bei and his family would have to sleep on the floor.

"I mean, we brothers should rent a house for our parents and split the cost equally. What do you think?" Gu Nian, the eldest brother, spoke first.

"Oh, I really want my parents to live at home, even if they have to sleep on the floor.

I have two children at home who need to study, and I’m afraid it will affect them.” Gu Bei said hypocritically.

"I'm fine with that. I'll listen to my brothers." Gu Chuan said.

"Renting a house is too expensive, Third Brother, do you think your mother and I can live in the farm?

This way, we can at least save some rent. Don't worry, we'll just live there for the time being, and you don't need to worry about anything else." Gu Chongshan thought for a moment and said.

Gu Yan was also thinking. Now that things had come to this point, it would be unreasonable for him to refuse.

No matter how his parents treated him in the past, he couldn't just push them out now.

He lived in a big house and had servants, while his parents rented a house.

If others see this, they will only say that he is unfilial, and no one will say that his parents were not good to him in the past.

He didn't really care about that, but Xuanxuan was going to take the imperial examination and become an official, so reputation was very important. He couldn't let Xuanxuan down. But living on the farm definitely wasn't an option.

There is food on the farm, including chickens and ducks. Everything is ready on the farm, so why wouldn't he let his parents eat?

If that happens, his reputation will be ruined.

Thinking of this, Gu Yan said: "Zhuangzi is not a good option. Let me tell you this. I have a small courtyard in town. Although it is not big, it is enough for my parents to live in.

As for living expenses and medical expenses, we brothers will share them equally."

Gu Yan is not stupid. He can let the old couple live in the yard for free. After all, it will be empty anyway, and having someone living there will increase its popularity.

The rest can be shared equally among his brothers; he won't take on too much.

Gu Nian and the others didn't expect that Gu Yan was willing to let their parents live in his house.

This saved them a lot of money.

And from this point of view, the third child is not so stubborn and still cares about his parents.

It seems that they still need to maintain a good relationship with him. If there is any problem in the future, the third brother will definitely be willing to help.

This is the unanimous idea of ​​Gu Nian, Gu Bei, and Gu Chuan.

Gu Chongshan didn't expect that the third brother had a house in the town, and he didn't expect that the third brother was willing to let them live there.

At this moment, Gu Chongshan deeply regretted that he had ignored Gu Yan and regretted not being nicer to Gu Yan.

At first they thought they would rely on the eldest son for support in their old age, so they were unconsciously partial to the eldest son.

The second son has been in poor health since childhood, and he is sweet-talking and good at dealing with people, so he is the most loved by the old woman.

The fourth child is the youngest son and is also somewhat doted on.

Only the third child has a relatively dull relationship with his family because he grew up with his grandparents.

In addition to the third child, they have several other children, and they tend to neglect this child who has not been with them since childhood.

Now that things have been agreed upon, the rest will be easy.

The brothers, together with Zhang Cuihua and Dong Wan, went to clean the house.

Then Zhang Dahua was pulled over in a horse-drawn carriage.

"Third brother, will this house be for us old couple to live in from now on?" Gu Chongshan asked in disbelief as he looked at the large blue brick and tile house in front of him.

It’s no wonder Gu Chongshan said that, this house is really great.

Gu Chongshan was used to living in a cave. He had never lived in such a nice house since he was a child.

Although the cave is warm in winter and cool in summer, it is also humid. Most importantly, you can't see sunlight in the cave even in broad daylight.

"Well, just live here without any worries." Gu Yan said.

"Sister-in-law, you said that the third brother is really capable. He has a house in the county town, a farm outside the city, and such a nice house in this town.

"You can't buy a small courtyard like this without a hundred taels of silver." Dong Wan said to Zhang Cuihua while she swiftly changed Zhang Dahua's wet clothes.

"Who said it wasn't, Third Brother? You've really become rich." Zhang Cuihua found some clean clothes for Zhang Dahua, and helped her change them with Dong Wan.

"This yard is so big, we don't feel comfortable with just parents living here. How about I and Gu Bei move in?" Dong Wan asked tentatively.

Dong Wan knew that Li Yingdi would definitely come back with her this time.

They were all outside, there was no reason to leave Li Yingdi alone in the mountains.

Even if they wanted to, Zhiwen would not agree.

But when Li Yingdi came back, the house was no longer big enough.

If they could move in under the pretext of taking care of their parents, all these problems would be solved.

"I don't know about that. Why don't you ask Gu Bei?" Zhang Cuihua also wanted to move out. It would be nice if she could live here.

If they move out, Shuanzi can also move in, and he won't have to live with others at Gu Bei's house anymore.

However, Zhang Cuihua didn't dare to say it, for she was afraid that Gu Yan would not agree.

"By the way, sister-in-law, my parents have moved here, but they also need someone to take care of them. Do you think we should take turns?" Dong Wan's eyes turned and she had a new idea.

"We must take turns to take care of him." Zhang Cuihua said.

"Then how do we take turns?" Dong Wan also knew that they had to take turns.

"If we take turns, the four of us brothers will each stay for ten days. Otherwise, we can find someone to take care of him and our family will pay some money. What do you think?" Gu Nian said.

Gu Nian also had selfish motives for saying this. He also had to go hunting on a regular basis. If he took out ten days every month to take care of his parents, his income would be greatly reduced.

It would be fine if Zhang Cuihua came to take care of the family, but then there would be no one to look after the family while he went out hunting.

The best way is to let Li Yingdi take care of his mother, and then they will give him some money every month.

Of course, this was what he was thinking, and he definitely couldn't say it out loud.

But he didn't need to say it first, Gu Bei brought it up himself.

"Big brother, third brother, fourth brother, I know you are all busy, and taking care of our parents is not something that can be done in just one or two days.

How about this? Let Yingdi come over and take care of Mom and Dad.

You all know the situation at home. Even if Yingdi comes back, we have nowhere to live."
