Rao Jiarui looked at his parents in disbelief, wanting to hear a negative answer from them, but they lowered their heads.
"Well, your eldest and second brother's children are grown up and about to get married, so they have no place to live. So we thought we would move to the old house and give it to them so that they can find wives."
Hearing this, Rao Jiarui felt it was ironic. This was his house, so why should he give it to his nephew to marry off?
"So where do you want me and my wife to live this time?"
All the happiness, all the anticipation, and the excitement of seeing my parents all cooled down at this moment.
After they calmed down, they were not so angry anymore. They just looked at them indifferently. If they did not give him a satisfactory answer today, then he would not agree.
He said he didn't want to come back, but Xiaoxue said no and that he had to take a good look at his parents. But that's how his parents treated their son and their daughter-in-law.
"You guys should just come with us to the old house. You won't be staying here for more than a few days anyway, so there's no need to stay here."
The old lady thought for a moment before speaking. It wasn't that she didn't care for her youngest son, but when they got old, they would definitely have to rely on the eldest and second sons. If she made them unhappy now, what would they do when they were old? Who could they rely on?
"Impossible! Why did I build this house? It was so you two could live better, and so my wife could live better in the future. I won't give my house to your two sons now. Either they vacate the house immediately and return to where they belong, or I'll go to the village chief or call the police. It's your choice."
He had been foolish before, thinking that if he took a step back, his parents would be happy. But now, it seemed that Xiaoxue had to suffer the consequences, even if her parents were unhappy. She had followed him to such a remote place without complaining about the hardships or tiredness. He would never let her suffer even the slightest injustice.
"How could you do this? They are your brothers and nephews and nieces. Won't you still rely on them when you get old?"
The old man was immediately furious. How could his son be so ungrateful?
"Tell me yourself, have you fulfilled your responsibilities as a son over the years? You're always on a mission, never coming home, let alone visiting us two old people. You do make us very proud and honored, but we both need someone to take care of us when we're old. We can't rely on you, can we?"
To put it bluntly, this son's job is so dangerous, and he might die someday. What will happen to the two old people then? They can only rely on their other two sons and their wives. Is there anyone else they can count on?
He never came back, but he never thought about the helplessness of being a parent. He only thought about his house. In his eyes, there was only his house and money. It would be useless for such a son to come.
"Then I don't understand what you're saying. What do you mean by 'I've never cared about you?' Because you're my parents, the village chief and his men have always taken very good care of you. They still show concern during the holidays and send you some daily necessities, and my monthly salary is all used for your retirement."
These things can be checked. He was indeed not at home, but he also made arrangements for the two of them.
"You said you had no place to live, and you were sitting in that shabby house, constantly worried, worried that it would rain heavily outside and lightly inside. So I fixed your house. You said your monthly income wasn't enough to spend, and farming was too tiring. I give you money every month, and I even buy you food. What else do you want from me?"
Rao Jiarui didn't want to argue with them. He wanted to come back and have a happy family, a few days of peace and harmony, even if it was just a superficial peace. But every time he came back, there was chaos. He really didn't want to come back. Even his parents said that as long as he found a girl he loved, no matter who she was, they would accept her. Now his parents have even given away his house to his two brothers.
"I've completed mission after mission. You clearly know how hard I work, and you clearly know that I risked my life to earn that money, yet you've never thought about me. I really don't ask for much. Just a nice face when you come back, a few days of pretending, isn't it even possible?"
Rao Jiarui really didn't understand. Couldn't she just pretend for a few days while he was back? Wasn't she even willing to just pretend?
"Since you can't do it, then I don't want to do it superficially. This is the house I built. Please leave here, otherwise I will choose to use legal weapons to protect myself."
Upon hearing this, Rao Jiarui's sister-in-law was the first to disagree. "What you said is really ridiculous. How come we didn't know this was your house? Isn't this your parents' house? If it's your parents' house, then it's their freedom to give it to whomever they want. Why should you live here if you don't have a house?"
In their opinion, as long as the old man and the old lady do not agree, Rao Jiarui will have no chance of making a comeback.
"Then you are wrong. I handled all the procedures for this house myself. It's mine anyway. The homestead is mine, and everything is mine. Please get out of here immediately.
Originally, I thought that as long as you could save face, I would let you live here, but that doesn't mean you can throw away everything your parents and I have. Since you don't know how to appreciate my kindness, then forget it."
Rao Jiarui called the police without hesitation. The staff who answered the call were furious. "How could there be such unreasonable people? They are fighting tooth and nail to protect everyone, and you are dragging your feet from behind."
They came to investigate quickly and kicked both families out. They even packed up all their belongings. Then Rao Jiarui took Lin Xue and bought new things for them, then closed the door, locked it, and went to sleep.
This series of actions was so quick, accurate, ruthless and decisive that they didn't take the old man and the old woman seriously at all.
After a nap, he woke up at noon. Rao Jiarui took Lin Xue for a walk and went to see his grandparents.
Rao Jiarui's grandparents are the ones who understand things. They have been living on their own and never care about the affairs of their younger generations. They told all their sons that they have no way to support themselves, so each of them should give them a certain amount of money per month and then find someone to take care of them.
"Your parents are just too stupid to think straight. Don't worry about them. You'll know what to do next time you get hurt."
