"Take a look, do you have any objections?"
“If you have any questions, say them now. Don’t wait until the family is divided up before you start gossiping behind people’s backs.”
Upon hearing this, the second and fourth wives shook their heads, saying that the money originally belonged to their parents and grandparents.
How to distribute the money is a matter for the elders.
They had no objections.
"Okay, it's good that you have no objections."
After deducting these, there is still more than 60,000 yuan in the account.
According to the Huo family tradition, 50% of the 60,000 yuan is to be passed on to the next heir, while the other 50% is the family property.
Elderly care is usually the responsibility of the heirs. However, for people of their level, medical treatment, hospitalization, and caregiver services are all fully reimbursed by the state, and their retirement pensions are also high, so they basically don't need to worry about it.
Mrs. Huo calculated that the 30,000 yuan would be divided into 5 parts. They and the old man would keep one part for emergencies, and each household would receive about 6,000 yuan.
Mrs. Huo had already calculated these accounts several times in advance, so she had done so a few days earlier when she was renewing her bankbook.
She had already converted all the family savings into anonymous deposit certificates.
Jiang Si was unaware of these traditions of the Huo family.
When she saw the deposit slip handed over by Huo's mother, she was stunned for a long time.
"Mom, did you calculate this wrong?"
While shaking her head, Huo's mother also explained these things to Jiang Si.
Not only these few savings books, but also the salaries of the couple and the old man will be left to the third wife in the future.
This is why the old man and his colleagues' salaries were all credited to Mr. Huo.
Because when the Huo family was handed over to Huo's father, Huo's fourth uncle's share had already been given.
As for the other branches of the family, Mr. Huo had already spoken to them about this matter beforehand.
The second and fourth sons had no objections.
The eldest son will probably come back to visit his parents when he has time, but it's unlikely he'll stay in Beijing.
Therefore, the Huo family could only entrust the responsibility to the third son and his wife.
Jiang Si didn't refuse after hearing this. Since it was a tradition of the Huo family, she had nothing to be embarrassed about.
However, the 30,000 yuan deposit slip only passed through her hands briefly before returning to Huo's mother's hands.
Mrs. Huo was stunned.
"Sisi, what are you doing—"
Fortunately, Jiang Si quickly offered her explanation: "Mom, I want to use this money as an education fund for the Huo family."
"Education fund?"
"Yes! From now on, any descendant of the Huo family who achieves success in exams or in a certain field will receive a bonus."
"You mean, we should use this money to educate the next generation?"
"That's right."
Jiang Si nodded, her tone unusually serious.
"Mom, the rise and fall of a family can never be sustained by the dominance of one branch of the family."
"What Tingzhou and I hope is that in the future, the descendants of the Huo family can be a blazing fire when they are together, and a sky full of stars when they are apart, so that each child can shine in their own field of expertise."
"Only in this way can we pass it down from generation to generation."
Thirty thousand yuan is nothing to Jiang Si.
But what if we could exchange this for a chance for our whole family to prosper, or for a healthy competitive environment?
She still thinks it was worth it!
When the Huo family heard her say, "Together we are a blazing fire, scattered we are a sky full of stars," they were deeply moved.
My emotions also inexplicably surged.
Grandpa and Grandma Huo exchanged a glance and then smiled with satisfaction.
"Let's do as Si Yatou says."
They said that handing the Huo family over to them was the right thing to do.
They didn't know what happened when other families split up.
But the Huo family's division of assets this time can truly be described as harmonious and joyful.
The only time the argument occurred was after lunch.
We were in a good mood today, so everyone ordered a few more dishes.
Mr. Huo, along with his second and fourth sons, also unusually joined the old man for a few drinks.
Seeing this, Jiang Si decided to go down and secretly pay the money.
Little did I know, the money had just been handed over.
Yang Meina quickly stopped her, saying, "Let me do it!"
Then Guan Xue came over, "Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, let me do it this time."
"No, I'll do it."
"Second sister-in-law, let me do it."
"I'll do it!"
Seeing this, Huo's mother, who was a few steps behind them, couldn't help but smile.
In the end, no one could win against Huo's mother.
After settling the bill, she waved her hand and took her three daughters-in-law to the Beijing Department Store that afternoon.
Perhaps it was because people are in high spirits during a happy occasion, but just after noon the next day, the telephone that the Huo family had been waiting for finally rang—
