Chapter 457: Increase, let them pay
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their eyes to Jiang Xinlan, making her look uncomfortable.
"What's wrong? Am I wrong? I'm just giving you some advice. In the end, it's up to you guys to decide..."
"Oh, why didn't we think of it? Yes, wouldn't it be nice for the four of us to live in one house? We are old anyway, and it would be best for us to live together and take care of each other. Second sister-in-law, what do you think?" Wu Hehua slapped her thigh and asked with a smile.
Sun Ju thought about it and felt that it was true. She and her husband would feel lonely living in a big house. If they could live with their elder brother and his wife, it would be more lively when there were more people to eat with.
Jiang Baojia, who was standing by, thought this was a good suggestion. He nodded with a smile, "I think it's okay. It tastes better when there are more people. Otherwise, it's hard to cook for just two people."
"But no, why didn't we think of it?" Jiang Baoguo also thought this was a good suggestion.
At this time, everyone turned their attention to Sun Ju. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Sun Ju pursed her lips and smiled, "What objection can I have? It's good to live together so that we can take care of each other."
Wu Hehua felt relieved when she heard Sun Ju say that. She immediately took Jiang Xinbai's hand and said, "Xiaobai, when are you going to make an appointment with the landlord? Let's go see the house and decide if it's okay. Zhengnan said he has transferred the money to you. If it's not enough, you can ask him for more."
"Yes, yes, you don't have to worry about the money. I'll ask Zhengxi and Zhengdong for it when the time comes, and we'll each split it in half."
Sun Ju is a smart person. Before she came back, her two sons had transferred a lot of money into their bank cards, saying it was compensation for their hard work over the years. Naturally, she would not touch the money.
Jiang Xinbai smiled and replied, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about the money. Zhengnan and the others said that you can just ask them for it. The most important thing is that you are satisfied with the house."
"Hey, that's why I said let's make an appointment to view the house!" Wu Hehua said with a smile.
At this time, Jiang Baocheng and his wife walked in from outside, saying as they walked: "Big brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, what are you talking about? You are laughing so happily."
Wu Hehua saw that the third brother Jiang Baocheng acted like a big boss, so she raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Third brother, I can tell at first glance that you are a big boss. You are the most successful one in our family."
Jiang Baocheng smiled and waved his hand, "Look at what you said, sister-in-law, we are all the same. Zhengnan's business abroad is bigger than mine. You are the rich ones."
"Okay, stop flattering each other. Third brother, third sister-in-law, sit down and talk." Jiang Xinbai moved aside.
"We just said that the eldest and second brothers' families will jointly buy a small villa in this community, which will make it convenient for them to visit our parents in the future." Jiang Xinlan explained with a smile.
Jiang Baocheng was also amused when he heard this, "Oh, when you were young, you wanted to live separately, why do you two families want to merge together now that you're old?"
Jiang Baoguo patted his younger brother and said, "It's because we're old that we can live together so we can take care of each other. This small villa has so many rooms, one is enough for each of us to sleep in."
"Okay, okay, as long as you like it."
"By the way, Xiaobai, we also need to find a nanny to cook. I don't want to cook for myself in the future." Wu Hehua has been cooking all her life, and it's time for her to enjoy her old age.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you, sister-in-law. Your tastes haven't changed, right?" Jiang Xinbai asked with a smile. If their tastes become the same as those of foreigners, then it would be hard to choose a nanny.
Wu Hehua waved her hands. "Nothing has changed. When I was abroad, there was an auntie at home who cooked for me, but her cooking was not as good as mine, so I cooked most of the time by myself."
"Me too. Your second brother likes the dumplings I make. We can't get used to the ones made by the nanny at home, so we make them ourselves."
Sun Ju also quickly said, "Alas, there is one bad thing about being abroad, that is, I am not used to the food. Although there are vegetables and seasonings shipped from China, I still miss the taste of home. Now think about it, it is homesickness."
"Hey, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, let me ask you a question off topic. When you returned to China, did your children tell you how much living expenses they would give you? I remember you also paid for the pension and social security, right?" Jiang Xinlan thought about it and asked.
When it comes to this, Wu Hehua and Sun Ju have two different reactions. Wu Hehua looks very lucky. She smiles and says, "Your elder brother already had it. I paid it later. I was thinking of returning to China, so I paid it all as soon as the policy came out. Now I have money coming into the account every month."
"Alas, I am not as lucky as you, sister-in-law. I have nothing." Sun Ju looked annoyed.
Wu Hehua rolled her eyes at her and said, "What are you talking about? I told you to hand it in first, whether you return to your home country or not, you just won't listen. It's no use regretting it now."
"Well, we didn't plan to return home at that time, so we didn't want to waste money, well."
Jiang Xinlan didn't know that her second sister-in-law didn't pay social security, so she quickly waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little money a month, it doesn't matter whether there is money or not, it's the same whether Zhengxi Zhengdong has money, let them give me living expenses."
Speaking of living expenses, Sun Ju became happy. She whispered, "Zhengxi and Zhengdong care about us, so they agreed to give us 10,000 yuan a month for living expenses. I think that should be enough."
"Ten thousand? You have too little. Our Zhengnan is very filial. He gives us twenty thousand and Hongyan also gives us ten thousand. Together, we get thirty thousand a month."
Wu Hehua smiled proudly as she spoke. It is said that where there is money there is love, and the same applies to children towards their parents.
"Thirty thousand? Is that true? Sister-in-law, please don't brag."
Sun Ju was a little bit unconvinced. She originally thought that 10,000 yuan for living expenses from her two sons was already a lot. But when compared with her eldest sister-in-law's 30,000 yuan, she felt very disappointed. After all, her two sons earned as much as Zhengnan, but they only gave them 10,000 yuan for living expenses.
"I can testify to this. Your sister-in-law is not bragging. Zhengnan and Hongyan are worried about us. They want to give us more money so that we can eat and drink well, so that they can work peacefully abroad." Jiang Baoguo explained with a smile.
Jiang Baocheng nodded and said with a smile: "Zhengnan Hongyan is really thoughtful. Actually, if you calculate, you still need to hire a nanny, eat and drink, which is indeed quite expensive. But, second sister-in-law, you actually have enough..."
Sun Ju gritted her teeth and glanced at her husband, "Humph, you want Zhengxi and Zhengdong to raise their living expenses. These two guys are so stingy that they can't even compare to Hongyan."
Jiang Baojia didn't have much of a problem, but now the difference in living expenses between him and his elder brother was so big that he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, so he nodded and replied, "Increase it, increase it, let them transfer the money."
