Mother Huo said, "When the eldest son got married, the Jiang family gave him a gift of 100 yuan and also gave him a wool blanket."
"When my husband got married, he also gave me a 100-yuan gift and a dragon-and-phoenix wedding quilt as a gift."
"When the fourth brother got married, the Jiang family didn't come, but they gave you 150 yuan."
"I gave you all this money and stuff without touching a cent."
"Now that the third child is getting married, you brothers and sisters, take care of it!"
Mrs. Huo's intention was very clear. If the gift was not enough, she would not agree!
After all, can 100 yuan a few years ago be the same as 100 yuan now?
After saying that, he glanced at Susan.
"The third brother and his wife will be back soon. I'll give you one day to pack up the three children's things. It won't look good for them to live in the third brother's room all the time!"
"Mom, our house is so small. Jingxuan, Jingyi, and Jinglin are not young anymore. It's not appropriate for them to share a room with us."
"The third brother's house is empty, so what's wrong with letting them live there? They are his nephews!"
"Besides, this was also agreed by the Third Brother himself."
It would have been fine if Susan didn't mention this, but as soon as she did, Huo's mother became increasingly angry.
Two years ago, the third son came back to visit his relatives. The eldest son, who was not a good person, instigated his three children and begged the third son in front of all the neighbors in the compound.
How do you expect the third brother to refuse?
"If you can live here, then live here. If you can't, then apply for a family housing unit from your work unit."
"I raised the four brothers and helped them find wives and children. I have fulfilled my responsibilities and obligations. You should also fulfill your responsibilities and obligations!"
"mom--"
Susan wanted to say something else, but Grandpa Huo tapped the cane in his hand vigorously.
Looking at his eldest grandson who had remained silent, he could not hide his disappointment.
"Old man, you talk too much."
"That's all for today, you all can go away."
The old man had spoken, so everyone had to go back to their rooms.
Seeing that Mother Huo's face turned blue with anger, Grandma Huo hurriedly said a few words to comfort her.
"Children have grown up and have their own thoughts. This is normal. It is not worth it to hurt yourself because of this."
"Didn't you always dream of the third child getting married? Now that he has finally got his wish, we should be happy for him."
Mrs. Huo nodded: "Mom, you are right. It's not worth it to get angry over this."
"It's good that you've come to terms with it. Go to the department store when you have time and buy some things for the young couple and send them over."
"We need to prepare the necessary things for Xiaozhou's room as soon as possible."
"Si girl has just arrived at Qiongzhou Island, so there must be many things that she is not used to."
"You didn't call her more often, so she wouldn't be wronged."
As she spoke, Grandma Huo stuffed a passbook into her hand.
"Please keep this and send the money to the young couple later. This is a small gift from your father and me."
Mrs. Huo refused to accept it: "Mom, I have money, how can I use yours——"
"Here, this isn't for you."
Meanwhile, on the other side.
After a whole day of shopping, Jiang Si finally bought most of the things needed for her new home.
After dinner, Huo Tingzhou also handed a passbook to Jiang Si.
Jiang Si didn't actually care how much money was in the passbook.
After all, no matter how rich he is, he is not as rich as I am!
But she was still quite shocked when she opened the passbook.
"Where did you get so much money—"
