Old Mrs. Wu was reborn, returning to an era where her children still depended on her hard work and sacrifice!
In her previous life, she would have shattered her bones and sold her very essenc...
"Then you two are really a good match," Aunt Zhang said sincerely. Having children brings a lot of trouble, especially for a childless person like Uncle Ge, who is easily plotted against from time to time.
"I'm thinking of asking my sister-in-law and Da Laba to look after my grandchildren. They are honest kids and don't know what to do themselves." Aunt Zhang sighed. They are almost the same age as the third child. Look at them, one on each side.
The third brother… He has no place to find a decent husband! He lives a simple life, but is now flourishing because of rumors.
"Then let the matchmaking agency help find one. The children grow up quickly, and it will be harder to find a partner as they get older." Grandpa Ge thought that the three sons of the Zhang family and their five grandsons, who were about the same age, would never be able to find a partner on their own.
The Zhang family has three houses where three generations of the old and the young live. The third generation is about to get married, and not having a house is their biggest weakness. The five grandsons don't have good jobs and are all temporary workers. If they want to become regular employees, they have to spend a lot of money. If they want to find a partner, they have to solve the problem of the house, which is still a lot of money. In addition, there is the bride price for the marriage, so there is a lot of money to spend everywhere.
"How much is the agency fee?" Aunt Zhang didn't want to ask Da Laba. They lived in the same courtyard. When she asked, she was told that it was free. The man was running a business and she was not someone who took advantage of others. If it was too expensive, she would not be willing to pay it, but she was embarrassed to say it to his face.
"I gave him twenty. How many do you have at home? Can you give me a discount?" Uncle Ge actually didn't know how much it was. He just gave twenty because he felt he didn't need change.
"Twenty," Aunt Zhang grumbled, feeling that it was a bit too expensive. She was determined to give in to the ten yuan, but she was reluctant to give in to the twenty yuan, as what about the five yuan in his family?
"Sister-in-law, after two years in Teng, you may not be able to find a partner at the age of 20 or 40. I am an example. When I was young, I couldn't get a partner of either high or low quality. Now that I am older, the people I introduced to are all married with children, and I was unwilling to give up. Now it's the time of Teng now," Uncle Ge spread his hands.
He thought that he couldn't even afford ten or twenty dollars, and the girl wanted a house and a few hundred dollars as a dowry, which would be even more disastrous.
"I'm thinking about it." Aunt Zhang went home to discuss it with Uncle Zhang.
Aunt Zhang has no pension, but Uncle Zhang does. His three sons and daughters-in-law all have jobs, and their family has not been divided. Their monthly wages are all paid to her.
Seeing that the eldest grandson is about to turn 24, he still can't find a partner, the eldest daughter-in-law is always sulky, the eldest son is also sighing, the eldest grandson is a man of few words, and now he is back, he doesn't say a word. All the money is handed over to the family, and the old couple have to take care of it. With so many people earning wages, the family has some financial resources.
But if I want to divide the family property among my three sons and buy a house for each of my five grandchildren, that is not enough, let alone getting them married.
They have been waiting for their sons and daughters-in-law to get housing from their companies, which would save them a lot of money. They could use the remaining money to give to their children when they get married. But getting housing is not that easy. They can wait, but their children cannot, because if they wait any longer they will be in their thirties.
Now the sons all have the idea of dividing the family property. It’s not that the old couple doesn’t want to divide it, but how to divide the three houses? It’s all about the house!
Aunt Zhang went home to discuss it with Uncle Zhang, who sighed and said, "Now it's not about finding a date, it's about a house. If there's no house for you to find, where are you going to get married? Can you sleep in bunk beds after getting married? Why are you fucking a girl?"
"Sister-in-law, aren't you still introducing houses to me? Ask if there are any cheap ones and buy two first. Solve one problem at a time," Uncle Zhang sighed.
"Two rooms will cost more than a thousand. If I buy one for the eldest son, what will I do with the house downstairs?" Aunt Zhang was so worried.
"What can we do? We have to take it one step at a time. How can we let our children remain single?" Uncle Zhang said impatiently. He left the house and went to the agency himself. The old woman was making blind calculations every day.
Two years ago, when I asked her to buy a house, she always said that she was not in a hurry, because she had the money and was reluctant to spend it. Now she is in a hurry, because the house is half as expensive as before! She is short of half the money, and looking at the situation in Beijing, if she waits any longer, her grandchildren will be single. Her sons will turn against her. She can no longer listen to her wife.
