Chapter 439 It's because they've been spoiled too much that their temperaments have gone astray!
Whether it was his fault or not, An Jianguo and his wife were too lazy to argue with him.
They simply told An Songlin that since they separated their families, their family and his parents' family had become two completely independent households.
But as parents, everything they have worked so hard for is something they can't take with them when they die.
The final result can indeed be divided among the children.
But the prerequisite is that the children have the ability to inherit all of this.
If they don't have it, they can't keep it even if they are given it, so why should they work so hard in their old age?
Of course, they knew that saying such things was too hurtful to their son.
So they said bluntly, "As parents, we do have an obligation to raise our children."
"But that's before the children have started their own families and careers."
Now that you're going to be a father, it's time for you to fulfill your obligations.
"As for us parents..."
"It's not like you can say that you don't recognize your children after you've separated from your family."
"So whether it's feelings or money, we will try our best to be fair and just."
"So, it's about who gets what they put in, right?"
"If you haven't put in any effort, then naturally you won't have the chance to receive anything!"
Upon hearing this, An Songshu almost exploded.
An Jianguo bluntly stated, "If you disagree, then let's settle our old scores!"
"Back when you asked us for money to invest in your mother-in-law's house."
"But we've already said everything."
“Even after we paid for the construction of your new house, we didn’t have enough money.”
“You still don’t believe it, and even say things like you’ll give us an IOU as if you’re borrowing money from us.”
"I've tried everything I could to scrape together the money for you."
"That IOU was given to me voluntarily by you!"
“I never thought about getting that money back, but you… never mentioned it again.”
"If you calculate it carefully, it's only right that you ask for the compensation you received during the demolition."
"Besides, you already said that back then!"
"You will take good care of us after you make money."
"They even wrote that sentence directly on the IOU."
"Now, would you consider yourself successful?"
"And what about your filial piety?"
How are you going to give it to us?
"Dad, we're not talking about the same thing!" An Songshu looked at Yuan Qionghua with a somewhat unpleasant expression.
Yuan Qionghua, however, kept her eyes and brows closed, as if she hadn't noticed his reaction at all.
“It doesn’t matter if they’re talking about the same thing or not.” An Jianguo didn’t give his son a chance to change the subject: “Anyway, as long as someone is human, they should at least be fooled once and learn their lesson!”
"Well... I haven't learned anything else in my life, but I can barely manage this!"
"So what I mean is very simple: since you think that we parents are making money, we should share some with you."
"They also promised to support us financially after they made money."
"Then we can set some rules!"
"I won't ask any further questions about how you intend to show our respect."
"If you want anything from us again, you have to do it according to our requirements."
"We believe that we have fulfilled our responsibilities as your parents by raising you, helping you get married, and establishing your career."
"Then all this we've worked so hard to achieve after giving you our entire savings..."
"If you want it back, the requirements are simple... just like I said before, whether it's feelings or money."
"Don't expect to get anything without putting in any effort."
"As adults who have separated from their families and become independent, we as parents are willing to give you more; that is called love for our children."
"It can be used as a guarantee that you will be filial to your parents."
"To be able to ask for this when you won't give a single penny is more than just being shameless."
This blatant mockery almost made the two elders want to speak up.
His own son!
Is it necessary to say such hurtful things?
Just then, An Jian'an heard the arguing and rushed over to stop the people from arguing.
After finally managing to pull the two of them out of An Jian's house, the two old people kept turning back and sighing, "They only have one son! Can't we just go along with him a little?"
“Mom…” An Jian’an called out helplessly.
Is this a matter of whether it goes smoothly or not?
Besides, has his older brother ever gone along with that brat An Songshu all these years?
And what was the result?
By going along with him, his personality was gradually developed.
Shi Youqin could naturally see the disapproval in her son's expression, and she said with a bit of helplessness, "I'm doing this for your older brother's own good! Don't be fooled by the fact that your older brother still seems to have some energy."
"But he's over fifty years old!"
"No matter how capable you are, how many years can you keep doing this?"
"In the end, doesn't it all come down to the filial piety of one's children?"
"Look at how much he and Ashu have fallen out. What will they do when they get old?"
"Mom!" An Jian'an called out in an even more helpless tone!
He looked at the wrinkles on his mother's face before saying, "Then why don't you want to live with me?"
"It's not like I can't move," Shi Youqin muttered disdainfully.
"You're already over seventy!" An Jian'an reminded him.
Shi Youqin hadn't reacted yet.
An Shunhe, who had remained silent until now, glanced at his fourth son and said, "Your eldest brother will be older than us someday too!"
"Besides, we're different from your older brother!"
“You are four brothers together, but he only has one son.”
"Dad!" An Jian'an was extremely helpless because of what the two elders said. Without thinking, he said, "Didn't you see this when you were in Jiang Village?"
“Like our generation, or your generation.”
"Every family has several brothers and sisters."
"But have there never been any elderly people who didn't die peacefully?"
“That is…” Shi Youqin subconsciously wanted to reply, but then she saw the An Jianping brothers who had arrived after who knows how long.
An Jianmin had an exceptionally deep understanding of the surrounding villages. He said directly, "Mom, are you trying to say that the children are unfilial, or that some elderly people are too biased? Or are you trying to say that some elderly people are simply not kind?"
"Even the most biased person has someone they value."
"And what happens to the person who ultimately receives preferential treatment?"
"It's because they've spoiled her too much, which has spoiled her personality!" Shi Youqin muttered subconsciously.
Anshun, on the contrary, realized what was happening.
He glanced back at the eldest son's family, and finally sighed without saying anything.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, he had to say that Ashu's success was probably due to the pampering and love he received from his parents since he was a child.
This has made him a bit too extreme!
Anshun has always preferred to believe that his own child is good.
After all, the reputation of that granddaughter-in-law's family in Jiang Village wasn't particularly good.
This gave him more excuses to shirk responsibility for his grandson's temperament... It wasn't that his grandson was inherently bad, but rather that he hadn't married a good wife and had been led astray.
But upon closer reflection, it's possible that people are indeed so easily led astray.
That at least proves that his nature is not so firm.
Doesn't this also prove that the child's temperament is not stable enough?
The more An Shunhe thought about it, the more discouraged he became.
He pulled the old woman, who still wanted to have a good talk with her two sons, and together they went home with their other three sons.
Forget it, let each generation take care of its own affairs.
Parents should teach their children, no matter how old they are!
