Whenever she saw the situation of the Lu family, Zhang Jiayu was glad that her parents did not favor boys over girls, and that Grandma Xu treated them all equally.
But this thing that seemed good before, now seemed unfair after they separated.
Everyone feels that they deserve a larger share and is dissatisfied with the situation where everything is always divided equally.
Grandma Xu watched them fighting like fighting cocks and silently wiped away a tear.
He stood up and went back to his bedroom.
Reopen the drawer that you just closed.
Grandma Xu did not take the passbook, but took out the property certificate and household registration booklet and walked out.
"It's a holiday now, and the department that handles property transfers is also closed," said Grandma Xu. "If you are willing to wait, you can spend the Spring Festival here, and then we can go together to transfer the property certificate. The property certificate will be in your and your brother's names."
"When the house is demolished, the compensation will be given to you two," said Grandma Xu. "I won't take a penny of the compensation, and this house won't belong to me by then. As for whether you can split the compensation equally or if one of you wants more, you can discuss it among yourselves, and whoever is more capable can take more. I don't care, and I can't make the decision."
"I said we should divide it equally, but none of you are satisfied." Grandma Xu said slowly, and every word she spoke was disappointment to her children. "Then divide it among yourselves. I don't care anymore."
Although these two siblings quarreled at home, they loved each other most of the time.
She still remembered that when Zhang Jiayu was wronged outside, Zhang Jialiang, as her brother, would stand up for her.
How come it has become like this now?
The brother and sister get along worse than strangers, but like enemies.
When Zhang Jialiang and Zhang Jiayu saw the property certificate, they reached out to take it at the same time.
Seeing that the other party also stretched out his hand, he became alert.
Grandma Xu's face was filled with disappointment. "I think if anyone of you takes it, the other party will be worried. So just leave it with me first."
"I promise, once the holiday is over and the department is back to work, I can do it." Grandma Xu said, "But you need to be there too, so do you plan to stay here until the holiday is over, or leave first and come back when you are free so that we can do the transfer?"
Zhang Jiayu said first: "I'll just stay here. It will cost me more money to travel back and forth."
Zhang Jialiang was worried about Zhang Jiayu staying here, so when he left, he also said, "I'll stay here too. I'll ask for leave from the company and leave after I'm done."
As for their other halves, Li Yuqin and Zhang Jiayu's husbands, they did not want to stay here.
They still have to go back to take care of their children and go to work.
So I decided to leave tomorrow morning.
Anyway, the purpose of this trip has been achieved.
"Mom, you haven't given us this year's money yet." Li Yuqin said again.
Xu Jingmin couldn't help laughing this time, "You really opened my eyes. I've only seen children earn money and buy things for their parents. But I've never seen married children ask their old mothers in the countryside for money every year."
"It's not enough for you to take the house, you also want to drain Aunt Xu's savings?" Xu Jingmin said coldly.
"Who are you?" Li Yuqin had long disliked Xu Jingmin. "It's our family's business, the village chief can just say a few words, who are you to make decisions here?"
"Besides, you all know how much money Grandma Xu can save every year. Isn't the money Grandma Xu saves every year given to you? So compared with the demolition compensation, what is Grandma Xu's savings this year?"
"You probably don't really want to take Grandma Xu over to raise her, so at least you should leave her some money to rent a house so she has a place to live."
Zhang Jialiang and Zhang Jiayu looked at each other. Lu Youxi's last sentence really came true.
They really didn't want to support Grandma Xu.
I said that before just to get more money for myself.
Now Grandma Xu doesn't care anymore and lets them divide the money based on their own abilities.
Then there is no need for them to support Grandma Xu.
Seeing their reactions, Grandma Xu's heart sank.
Grandma Xu was crying and laughing at the same time.
My children are away and only come back during the Spring Festival every year.
So she looks forward to this time most every year.
But now, she no longer hopes.
Li Yuqin poked Zhang Jialiang secretly again, and Zhang Jialiang said, "The demolition is not something that will happen immediately. It's hard to say when it will happen. It may take several years. Before that, can't mom live here all the time?"
"You mean, if you live here for a few years, I'll give you a few years' salary? I guess you're collecting rent?" Lu Youxi said coldly, "How could Grandma Xu raise such ungrateful people like you!"
"I gave you money before because I was worried that you were having a hard time. Grandma Xu would rather suffer herself and save money for you, not to pay rent to you!" Lu Youxi said coldly, "It's fine if you are not filial, but do you want to squeeze out even the last bit of profit?"
"You should at least let Grandma Xu save money for a few more years so that she can put some money aside for rent, so that she will have a place to live even if you kick her out in the future." Lu Youxi said sarcastically.
"I advise you not to go too far. If you really push Grandma Xu into a corner, you won't get a share of this house! You won't get a penny of the relocation compensation. If you have the guts, come back and make trouble every day!" Lu Youxi sneered, "It's as if the relocation compensation must be yours."
After hearing what Lu Youxi said, the village chief was suddenly stunned.
yes!
If Grandma Xu doesn't give it to them, they will get nothing! He was really mad at Zhang Jialiang and Zhang Jiayu.
Zhang Jialiang and Zhang Jiayu were also stunned, and suddenly felt that what Lu Youxi said was correct.
That's why both of them were scared.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Jialiang said in a rough voice.
"Yes, this is our family affair. Why are you meddling in it? Are you eyeing our house?" Zhang Jiayu said in a sharp voice.
"That's enough!" Grandma Xu cried and shouted at them, "What I just said will not change. After you get the relocation money, you can distribute it among yourselves. As for my savings, Youxi said that I have to keep some for myself to rent a house!"
"Otherwise, when the house is demolished and the money is given to you, where will you let me live? Sleep on the street? In the past few years, in order to make your life in the city less tiring, I have saved all the money for you, not keeping a penny."
