Military Marriage's Unrivaled Favor: Bringing a Planting Space to the 60s

The year isn't the 80s! Su Yan, a base owner from 2048, dozed off while driving and woke up transmigrated to 1961. She became the infatuated, delicate, and ungrateful Su Yan who was leveraging ...

Chapter 185: Separation

Su Yan didn't expect that Zhu Ting would bring the matter back to her aunt. They paid for her aunt, so why should she get it for free?

If she agreed, her aunt would definitely give priority to taking care of Zhu Ting's child in the future. After all, a newborn needs to be fed every two or three hours, and his diapers need to be changed and washed after eating. It's a lot of trivial matters. If her aunt takes care of Zhu Ting's child, how can she have the energy to take care of her son?

"Sister-in-law, have you ever respected your aunt? Have you ever asked for her opinion? Can your aunt take care of two children at once? If you neglect one of them, who will be responsible if something happens to the child?

After I got married, I knew that my mother-in-law had to go to work to earn money and had no time to take care of her grandson, so my son Lu Ting invited my aunt to come and help.

Lu Ting and I received the same gifts and watches, but your Lu Jin even got a bicycle. You had a lavish wedding, and in the end, because you were broke, your parents gave you all the gifts.

My Lu Ting has been contributing to the family since he got his first salary. After we got married, he always found a way to get whatever the family needed."

"But my Lu Jin doesn't have a job, and didn't Dad say he would give the courtyard house to your son? I wonder how much attention you're taking away from your parents-in-law by living with them?"

How did she benefit from her parents-in-law? They didn't raise the child, they didn't pay the money, and they didn't live in the house they talked about, and they didn't even see the deed.

My father-in-law just wrote them a blank check. If they are lucky, maybe this blank check will be cashed, but if they are unlucky, nothing will happen.

After all, it's actually the Lu family who benefited from her, okay?

Su Yan sneered, "Zhu Ting, you are like this without a job. If you had a job, would you really pay the household allowance on time?

As for that courtyard house, let alone, weren't you two the ones who ended up living there? You are the actual beneficiaries of the Lu family!"

This was the first time that Lu Fengnian saw his eldest daughter-in-law arguing with his second daughter-in-law. Was the eldest daughter-in-law resenting him?

Seeing Lu Fengnian's gloomy face, Su Yan hurriedly explained with a smile, "Dad, we don't mean to blame you. Taking care of grandchildren is not the exclusive responsibility of grandparents.

And if my mother-in-law really quits her job and goes home to take care of her grandson, that's not realistic either. After all, Xiaoyu and his family aren't married yet..."

Su Yan spoke from the perspective of her parents-in-law, and her words were heartfelt. In the end, Lu Fengnian believed his eldest son and daughter-in-law, who really didn't care about his things.

Zhu Ting felt a little annoyed when she saw Su Yan acting like a good person and saying that children are the responsibility of parents.

Since children are the responsibility of their parents, why doesn't she take care of her child herself? I haven't seen her take care of the child for a few days since she came back during the summer vacation. What's the point of throwing the child to her mother-in-law's house?

It is definitely a lie to say that they pay my aunt's salary. Maybe my parents-in-law secretly give them money.

Her father said that her father-in-law earns more than 100 yuan a month at this level, and her mother-in-law also earns dozens of yuan. They should have quite a lot of money. Their family lives such a good life. It must be a lie that her parents-in-law didn't give them money, right?

Zhu Ting felt that Su Yan was pretending to be generous and sensible to please her in-laws. Since they had already hired a nanny, what was wrong with her helping them take care of the child as well?

Doesn’t she like to pretend to be generous? Why is she so stingy with them?

She walked up to Hua Jing and begged, "Aunt, you can help my sister-in-law take care of the children, can't you help us?"

Hua Jing knew that Zhu Ting had a hard time too, but it was not her turn to decide on this matter. How could she go back home while eating Xiao Ting's food and working for Xiao Jin's family?

"Xiaoting, it's not that I don't want to help you, but my energy is limited and I can't take care of two children by myself.

Even if I can help you look after the child during the day, my eldest sister doesn’t have time to help you at night. My eldest sister has to work during the day, and taking care of the child at night will affect her daytime work.”

Lu Fengnian asked Lu Ting, "Xiao Ting, do you think we should divide this family?"

His father said he was asking, but in fact he just wanted a clear answer from him. Things had gotten to this point, and it was impossible not to separate them.

Forget it, it’s better to separate since my second brother’s wife is so difficult to deal with. If she continues to make trouble like this, the entire military compound will know about their family affairs. It’s better to separate the family.

"If Dad really wants to divide the family, then go ahead and do it. I have no objection."

Seeing his son agreed, Lu Fengnian said slowly: "Xiaochen and Xiaoyu are still young. They won't separate from the family before they reach adulthood. Now that you and Lu Jin are married, you two brothers will be separated first.

Your mother and I are still working now, so we don't need you to support us in our old age for the time being. When we reach the age of 60, you brothers can just give us food every year.

You spent most of your family savings on your marriage. After you separate, you can each eat your own food and only come to your house for meals during the holidays. The second child doesn't have money to hire someone to take care of the children, so your family will give you 300 yuan as a separation fee. Xiaoyu and Xiaochen will also receive the same amount as a separation fee in the future."

They are not afraid if their children don’t support them when they are old. Anyway, they will save more money by then. With money in hand, there is no need to worry about their children being unfilial.

Su Yan also knew that the separation was inevitable, so she didn't force it. She said to Lu Fengnian, "Dad, since we're splitting up, I'll ask my aunt to move in with me, so that people won't say we're taking advantage of you."

When my aunt moved in, she would go to school and Lu Ting would go to work, so there would be no one to help my aunt take care of the children.

My aunt always has to eat, so from now on she can only tie the child in a sling while she goes shopping for groceries and cooking.

Hua Min wanted to stop the family division, but seeing the excitement on the Zhu family's faces, he finally sighed and didn't know what to say.

She said to Hua Jing, "Xiao Jing, it would be good for you to take Yiming back to live with us. We can go visit when we have time."

Su Yan wanted to take her aunt back home, and her father-in-law said he would give them 300 yuan as separation fee. Even if Zhu Ting had any objections, she couldn't refute it.

Nowadays, a pound of meat costs only 60 cents, and a pound of vegetables costs one cent. Three hundred yuan for the family division fee is really a lot, after all, my father-in-law has several sons.

With these three hundred yuan, they have thousands of yuan in savings, which is enough for them to live on for many years if they live frugally. This is a huge amount of savings, and most people don't have that much savings.

After dinner, Zhu Ting left with her parents. On the way, Zhu Jinghong asked Zhu Ting what her future plans were.

Zhu Ting said, "Dad, since we're splitting up, I can't take advantage of the Lu family, and Su Yan can't take advantage of them either.

I'll be a sophomore when school starts in September. I'll have my baby at the end of the year, so I can take a semester of maternity leave in the first half of next year. I can take the textbooks home to study on my own, and then return to school in September next year for my junior year."

"Then you won't ask someone to come back and take care of the child?"

"Why waste that money? I can save money on milk powder by taking care of the baby myself. Besides, isn't mom free?

I can bring the child back to live with you. Mom can help my brother take care of the child, and you can also help me take care of the child. I will give you the living expenses. I think my sister-in-law will not object, right?"

His daughter-in-law is very shrewd. She eats and uses everything at home, and after eating, she throws the child back home to sleep. If Tingting really takes the child back to live with her, she must have received a bribe if she agreed.

Zhu Jinghong didn't know what to say. How could a married daughter bring her children back to live in her parents' home?
