Chapter 467 Property 2

The days passed one by one, and soon it was the end of the year. Everyone returned home with their families, and Jiang Xinbai and Yang Jinsheng also wanted to take advantage of this time to divide up the household chores.

"Come on, Jiabao, Jiadong, Manman and Xiaoxue, sit down. I have something to say to your father." Jiang Xinbai said with a smile to his son and daughter-in-law.

Yang Jiabao sat down on the sofa, "Mom and Dad, what are you going to say? Are you going to follow my uncle's example and divide up a house for us? Haha, I'm just kidding."

Jiang Xinbai glanced at his eldest son, tapped his forehead from a distance, and said with a smile: "It means giving you two houses."

Yang Jiabao stood up in surprise, "Mom, are you serious? Why did you suddenly..."

Jiang Xinbai waved his hand and said, "It's not sudden. Your father and I have been thinking about it for a long time. It will be yours sooner or later anyway. Our family has several houses and shops in Haishi and Shenshi, and we wanted to share them with you."

"Mom, what about you, Dad, and grandpa and grandma?" Yang Jiadong asked with a frown.

"What do we do? We will still live here. Do you want to divide our house? You're dreaming." Yang Jinsheng rolled his eyes at his youngest son.

"No, Dad, that's not what I meant..."

"Okay, your dad is just teasing you. There are six houses in Hai City, and three shops. Your family will get three houses, and each of the shops will get one. We will collect the rent from the rest. There are also five houses in Shen City, and four shops. Each of the five children will get a house. You get one of the shops, Jiadong, and you get two, Jiabao. The remaining one is still ours..."

"Mom, isn't this a bad idea?" When Yang Jiabao heard that his family suddenly had an extra house and a shop, he looked at his younger brother and sister-in-law across from him with some embarrassment.

Jiang Xinbai stopped talking, looked at his youngest son and his wife across from him, and explained seriously: "Jiadong, Xiaoxue, we have five grandchildren in our family, and each of them should have a house. Do you have any objections?"

Yang Jiadong shook his head and replied, "Mom, Xiaoxue and I have no objection, Xiaoxue, right!"

Although Xu Ruoxue felt uncomfortable, she thought that these were her parents-in-law's things, and it was their business to divide them, so she nodded and said, "Yes, Mom, we have no objection."

"That's good. Your eldest brother and his wife have an extra shop. We think they have been by our side taking care of us all these years. Even if they have no merit, they have worked hard. It's only right that they give them a little more. Don't you agree?"

After Jiang Xinbai finished speaking, he looked at his youngest son and his wife sitting opposite him.

Now Xu Ruoxue had nothing to say. After all, she and her husband had been living in Hai City for so many years and had indeed not taken care of her parents-in-law.

"Mom and Dad, Xiaoxue and I have no objection to how you divide the property. It is indeed your brother and sister-in-law who have taken care of you over the years, and we all know it." Yang Jiadong is also an understanding man. He indeed has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a child over the years, but his parents are still willing to give him a house and money, and he is already very satisfied.

"That's good. As for the cash, we want to keep it for ourselves and divide it up later." Jiang Xinbai thought about it and changed his mind. He decided not to divide the money for now.

Yang Jinsheng, who was standing by, looked at his wife strangely but said nothing.

In the room, Xu Manman looked at her husband who was about to go to sleep, and couldn't suppress the smile on her face. "Jiabao, my parents are so nice. They gave each of our three children a house. It's not a loss for me to have three children."

Yang Jiabao looked at his wife helplessly, "Look at you, you said before that you regretted having a third child, saying that it was too painful, but now you've changed so quickly."

"No, I just said it. Look at you, you still act like that. Hey, you said that your parents understand you. We stay by their side to take care of them. Jiadong and Xiaoxue only come back two or three times a year, so this extra shop is what we deserve."

"Yes, that's what we deserve. It's our responsibility as children to take care of our parents. We have to take care of them even if they don't give us money."

"That's right, I didn't say anything." Xu Manman thought to herself that if her parents-in-law really divided it equally, she would feel uncomfortable. After all, as her parents-in-law said, they had contributed more than the second son and his wife. If it was distributed fairly, that would be the greatest injustice.

On the other side, Yang Jinsheng couldn't help but ask, "Xiaobai, didn't you say you would give them three million? Why are you suddenly not going to share it?"

Jiang Xinbai paused while combing her hair, thought for a moment and replied, "I was about to say it, but if I gave them so much at once, I was afraid they would get carried away and develop bad habits. It would be bad, so it's better for us to keep it ourselves."

"You, I don't know. Are you worried that if we share everything with them, they won't come to see us anymore? Right?" Yang Jinsheng said to his wife with a smile.

Jiang Xin rolled her eyes at her husband and said defensively, "That's not true. I just don't want to separate."

"Yes, yes, I don't want to break up. Alas, we are all old in the blink of an eye. Life goes by so fast." Yang Jinsheng suddenly sighed.

"How can it not be fast? We are all over sixty years old. Oh, no, I'm not sixty yet, I'm fifty-nine, hehe."

"According to rounding, you are sixty years old." Yang Jinsheng replied bluntly.

Suddenly, Jiang Xinbai seemed to remember something and asked in a low voice: "Jinsheng, did your parents tell you whether their graves were built?"

Yang Jinsheng was stunned, "Why are you asking this suddenly?" But then he thought that his parents were in their eighties, and it seemed that it was time to consider this.

"No, my second sister mentioned it to me last year. She said that cemeteries are popular now. Cremation is required. It's clean and convenient to bury the ashes in urns."

"Ah, then I have to ask my parents where they plan to be buried after they die?"
