Abandoned by My Uncles [90s]

In the summer of 1996, the head of the Qiao family passed away after acting heroically. Having lost the family's pillar, Old Mrs. Qiao and her granddaughter only had four sons to rely on. However, the day after the funeral, the brothers treated them like hot potatoes.

The eldest son, whom they painstakingly sent to college, said: "Mom, our place is small; there's really no extra room for you to live in." The second son, who came home daily to ask for financial help, said: "Xiao Peng and Xiao Long are very noisy at home every day; they'll definitely disturb your rest." The third son, who started a business with decades of the family's savings, said: "You know, my wife and I are too busy to manage; if you come, no one can take care of you." The fourth son, who wanted to occupy the family's company-provided housing, pleaded: "Mom, please, if I don't have my own apartment, my wife will definitely divorce me and take the children away!"

Facing her sons' difficulties, Old Mrs. Qiao said nothing. She took her granddaughter back to their dilapidated old courtyard in the village. * Qiao Jiahuan transmigrated and became an orphan in a period novel whose parents died early and who was raised by her maternal grandparents. On her very first day, she and her grandmother were jointly driven back to the village by her uncles.

The grandmother and granddaughter had originally thought that despite the hardship, they could still get by. However, a few days later, news suddenly spread throughout the village that it was going to be demolished. Qiao Jiahuan asked: "Village chief, village chief, are you saying that our family's dilapidated three-story building and six and a half mu of uncultivated land can be exchanged for a thousand square meters in a commercial building in the city?" "Did I hear that right? After the demolition, not only will there be resettlement fees and compensation, but my grandmother and I will also receive a monthly transitional allowance?"

Upon hearing about the village's demolition, the Qiao family's four sons in the city rushed back, eager to show filial piety to their mother. Overnight, the grandmother and granddaughter transformed from hot potatoes into highly sought-after treasures that they all vied for.

Holding her granddaughter's hand, Old Mrs. Qiao, who had been bent over her entire life, finally straightened her back: "You all want to support me in my old age? Well, don't just talk about it; you'll have to prove yourselves."
