"You should go and have a look! They're going to start fighting again soon."
"That old lady can't stand the fall."
Last time, they pushed Lao Wu Niang down during the scuffle.
"Okay, I'll go there now." Gu Xiujiao stood up and followed him. Yuchi Xi followed. She wanted to see how Gu Xiujiao would handle this matter.
It is said that even a judge cannot judge family disputes. How is she going to solve this problem?
When Gu Xiujiao arrived, the fifth and sixth brothers were blaming each other.
The sixth brother said, "The fifth brother, what you did was not kind. You were the one who took care of Mom, but you are unwilling to do so. How can you be a son like this?!"
Lao Wu sneered, "How well did you take care of your mother?"
"I told you, I'm going on a long trip soon, so I'll let Mom stay at your place for the time being!"
"Why, she's only my mother? Not your mother anymore?"
Lao Liu frowned, "Why go on a long journey at this time when there are so many other times?"
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but I'm busy lately and there's no one at home who can take care of Mom!"
Lao Wu, "What do you mean by help me? This is our mother, it's only natural for you to take care of her!!"
"Besides, I'm going on a long trip with my boss. How can I decide what my boss decided at the last minute? What? Do you want me to lose my job? You support our whole family?"
Lao Liu, "Hey~~Don't speak so harshly!"
As the two of them were talking, they started pushing and shoving each other again.
Old Wu Niang quickly stepped forward to stop them, "Stop arguing, stop arguing. Let me see, you guys give me a room to live in. I can take care of myself!"
Lao Wu Niang wiped away her tears. She really didn't want to see her two sons like this.
The daughter-in-law standing by refused to accept this, and the sixth daughter-in-law said, "That won't work. We have so many family members, where can we find an extra room for you to live in?"
"When you come to stay here on weekdays, the children always sleep in a crowded place."
The fifth daughter-in-law also quickly spoke up, "We have a large family and no extra house!"
"Mom, you're already so old, why are you still making such a fuss?"
Old Wu Niang opened her mouth, but finally just sighed, "Forget it, forget it!"
Gu Xiujiao came over and heard their conversation. She laughed, "The house you live in now belongs to Old Fifth Mother."
"The title deed is still in Old Fifth Lady's name!"
"How dare you chase an old man around like this?"
As soon as they saw Gu Xiujiao coming, their momentum weakened. The sixth brother's wife complained, "It's not that we don't want to support her. After you said that last time, we thought about it and took good care of her. It's just that now it's the turn of the fifth brother's family, and they are not happy!"
The fifth brother's wife said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Is it because we don't want to take care of him? If the boss of the fifth brother asks him to go on a long journey, then we have to go with him. Otherwise, if we lose our job, what will we do?!"
"Old Five isn't home, and it's already hard enough for me to take care of so many children by myself. How can I have time to take care of Mom? I just left them with you for a few days, and you're not happy about it!"
The sixth son's wife groaned, "What does Mom need you to take care of? You just need to cook a meal for Mom every day. It's just a simple thing to do. You all have to eat anyway, so just cook some extra rice!"
"Why are you being so pitiful? When Mom was at our house, my sixth child went out to work every day, and I was the only one taking care of him. I have so many children, how can I take care of them but you can't? It's simply because you don't want to!"
…
Gu Xiujiao listened to their quarrels and finally understood what was going on.
The fifth brother was going on a long trip and wanted to leave his mother at the sixth brother's house for a few days, but the sixth brother's family was not happy.
This matter cannot be blamed on the sixth brother's family. After all, in the eyes of the sixth brother's family, the fifth brother's wife is fully capable of handling the matter by herself, and she sent the old man here just because she didn't want to give him her share of the food!
In the final analysis, it’s just that the fifth brother didn’t do anything good for the sixth brother, and now it’s the fifth brother’s family’s responsibility to support his mother!
Gu Xiujiao felt a headache. This matter was difficult to handle.
If you don't handle it well, you will offend people.
Yuchi Xi was eating melon seeds and listening to the excitement. It was so exciting. It was even more exciting than the novels she had read before!
These two families could quarrel over such a small matter.
Gu Xiujiao thought for a moment and said, "How about this, if neither of you two families really wants to support the elderly, then you can each contribute some money to help your mother build a house. In the future, you can provide a certain amount of support every month, and take turns delivering meals!"
The fifth brother's wife refused to do it, "We don't have any money!"
The sixth wife rolled her eyes and said, "We don't have any money either!"
"That's easy." Gu Xiujiao smiled gently, "You all need to move out. These houses originally belonged to your mother. You're living in your mother's house, and you're still so arrogant?"
The fifth and sixth sons' wives looked at each other and shut up.
Give up the house? That's impossible!
Lao Wu said, "Miss Gu, it's not that we don't want to support Mom, it's just that we really have no other choice!"
"Whether there's really no other way or not, you know it in your hearts." Gu Xiujiao's tone was gentle and firm. "I only give you two choices, which are what I just said. Think about it for yourselves!"
"Everyone has witnessed how your mother has treated you over the years."
Gu Xiujiao looked at Lao Wu's wife and said, "Lao Wu's wife, you were not feeling well at the time and there was no money at home. It was Lao Wu's mother who went up the mountain to find nourishing herbs for you and also hunted some game to nourish you. That's why she developed the leg pain."
