"The boss went to the brigade headquarters to get a letter of introduction, and tomorrow he will go and transfer Liuliu's, oh no, Hehua's, household registration back.
The name Hehua has been used for more than ten years, and everyone is used to hearing it, so let's change it to Li Hehua."
After the old lady finished speaking, she turned to Lotus and said, "Lotus, come live with me and your grandfather.
Just one night.”
Lotus looked puzzled, wondering why it was only for one night?
Does grandma want her to live in a room by herself tomorrow?
The Li family has a side room with a kang. Besides, the weather is hot now, so there is no need to heat the kang, so they can sleep separately.
Wang Hehua stayed in the house to pack her things.
The old lady came out to give instructions to her two sons.
"The third son has only one daughter left, and she's about to get married, and you guys don't have any reaction?
You've had a hard time over the years and don't want to raise another girl. I can understand that, so I didn't force you back then. But now that Hehua is back, you, as her uncle, can't let her down.
I know you are all thinking about this house, so let me tell you this.
This house belongs to Hehua. You have never helped us in all these years and have not spent a penny.
My brother, your father is already old and doesn’t have the ability to prepare a dowry for Hehua.
This yard is the dowry that the third brother left for his daughter. Whether she lives in it in the future or sells it to someone in the team, it will always be beneficial to her. It is impossible to give it to you for free.
Either you pay for He Hua's dowry, or you can forget about this yard."
The two brothers of the Li family did not expect that their mother would say such a thing.
Li Laoer was the first to be unwilling: "Mom, why should we do this? If the third brother dies, the house will naturally belong to us two brothers. How can a girl like Hehua inherit the property? We have never had such a thing since ancient times.
If you say that my third brother has a son, no matter how old he is, even if he is just born, we, as his uncle, have no face to snatch our nephew's property.
But Lotus is not a son after all, and she is about to get married. How can I give her a dowry?
Is the Jiang family kid planning to come over?"
Boss Li squatted on the side without saying a word, but his expression clearly showed that he agreed with what his younger brother said.
Mr. Li also came back at this time.
Of course I heard what Li Laoer said just now.
“Humph, the third brother is gone and has no son to inherit the house, but his parents are still alive, so it’s not your turn to make the decision.
This house is ours now, and the other grandchildren have their parents and we don’t need to worry about them.
The girl Hehua has lost her father and her mother is unreliable. There is nothing wrong in giving her the things her father left behind as a dowry.
This house was built by the third brother himself after he separated from his wife. It has nothing to do with you, so don't even think about it.
Keep this house. If Lotus has two sons in the future, or if the family branches out, they will need a place to live."
This was also a sudden idea of Old Man Li.
He thought about how his granddaughter was being bullied by the Wang family, but he could only endure it. Why? Because she had nowhere else to go?
If she gets married and gets wronged in the future, will she still be forced to endure it? She doesn't even have a family to call her own? If she gets bullied, she won't even have a place to cry.
That wouldn't work. Instead of selling it and keeping the money, it would be more reliable to have a stable house, a house that belongs entirely to Hehua, and a property that has nothing to do with her future in-laws.
"You two can go back. I'll get the letter of introduction later. I'll take Hehua to the commune tomorrow. You don't have to worry about it anymore.
I don't expect you to help Hehua, but I just hope you won't hold her back and bully her because she has no parents."
The old man's last words were very serious.
How does this mean that they are going to bully the orphan girl left behind by her younger brother?
Besides, doesn't Hehua still have a mother? Mei Zhaonan is not dead yet.
But seeing that Old Man Li was looking at them with a dark face, they didn't dare to talk back.
Both brothers are honest people with old-fashioned ideas, but they don't have bad intentions.
Although he is already in his forties, he still has a natural fear because he was oppressed and disciplined by his father since he was a child.
Old man Li is not worried at all about what his children and grandchildren think. There is no younger generation in the family who is not afraid of him. Even if they have some ideas, they dare not show them in front of him.
With his physical condition, he can live another ten years without any problem. By then, Hehua's life will be stable and she won't have to worry about any more trouble.
Wang Hehua was already in tears in the house.
She didn't expect that her grandfather would be so on her side.
Whether in the past or now, no girl can inherit a house or homestead unless she finds a live-in son-in-law.
But it was obvious that what grandpa meant just now was that the house would be given to her as a dowry.
If things don't go well in the future, she will have a way out.
Outside, the two brothers of the Li family were scolded by their father.
They didn't dare to stay any longer and attract the old man's attention, so they left together.
"You and Hehua stay home and pack up. I'll go to the brigade to get a letter of introduction and then go to the Jiang family.
If the Jiang family is still willing to recognize the marriage, let the two of them go to the commune tomorrow to get the marriage certificate to avoid any further complications.
If the Jiang family doesn't agree, we can just find a live-in son-in-law for Hehua, which is better than marrying her into another family."
Old man Li was also a little uncertain. If the Jiang family was willing to marry Hehua before, it could be said that it was because of the friendship they had in previous years.
But now the Wang family has attracted so much gossip.
It’s good enough that the Jiang family didn’t come to scold us.
If they don't want this marriage, Old Man Li can't blame his family.
When a couple gets married, they can live happily together only if they are willing to do so. If they force themselves to do it, they will end up being a couple of unhappy couples. What's the point of that?
Old Mrs. Li naturally thought of this as well.
She thought again that it was the boy from the Jiang family who saved Hehua today.
Regardless of whether the two of them succeed or not, they should go to the house to express their gratitude.
It would be great if his work could be taken to a higher level.
Old man Li raised his head to show that he understood, then took his pipe and went out.
He first went to the brigade headquarters to get a letter of introduction.
Everyone in the team already knew about this.
So I opened it without hesitation.
As luck would have it, Jiang Weizhuo's father also came to the brigade headquarters and happened to meet Old Man Li who was about to leave with a letter of introduction.
"Hey, Uncle Li, why are you here? I was just about to look for you."
Father Jiang was the leader of the production team. He originally came to discuss the next work with the team leader, but now he said nothing more and followed Old Man Li out.
"Uncle Li, I heard that Lotus was brought back? My boy just came to me and said he wanted to find time to discuss the marriage of the two children. Do you think you are free sometime? Come to my house for a drink tonight."
Father Jiang loved lotus very much and looked very smart when he was a child.
Even though she later left with her mother, they were still in the same brigade, just not a production team, so they would still meet occasionally.
Father Jiang felt that Hehua was a child who could live a normal life.
Besides, his son also liked it, so he naturally had no objection.
