Chapter 386 Buying a House for My Big Sister
Xiao Meiling became even more unhappy when she heard this, "Han Shichang, who are you looking at? Are you blaming me? Am I the one who didn't let your parents come? Let me ask you, do you want to get rid of my parents and make room for your parents?"
"I didn't say that, nor did I think that." Han Shichang frowned as he looked at his father-in-law and mother-in-law who came out of the room. "Mom and Dad, I just feel bad. I didn't say anything to you. I'm very grateful that you help us take care of the children."
"Hey, Shichang, Meiling, if you have something to say, take your time and don't quarrel when you get angry. Quarreling too much will hurt feelings." Xiao's mother pulled her daughter to sit down. "You are just impatient. Can't you say it nicely if you have something to say?"
"Mom, my parents-in-law are going to sell their house in their hometown and move to Shenzhen. When I told Shichang that there was no room at home, he got angry." Xiao Meiling felt that she was wronged. What bad things could she have said?
After listening to this, Father Xiao looked at Han Shichang and asked, "Shichang, what are your parents' plans? If it doesn't work out, your mother and I will go back to the village. Xiaochuan is old enough..."
"Dad..." Xiao Meiling looked at her father unhappily. Seeing what he said, why should they leave?
Han Shichang shook his head. "Dad, my parents don't want to live with me. They want to live with my aunt. My grandparents are there too. My dad just called and said he wants to sell the house in his hometown and give me half of the money."
"Ah, your dad wants to sell the house?" Father Xiao was a little surprised.
"Yes, that's what my dad meant, so I have to go back. The house is in my name, so I'll pick them up on the way."
"Of course I do, but how much would your house in your hometown sell for?"
"It should be able to be sold for around 120,000." His father also said on the phone just now that Han Shichang originally wanted to give up his half, but now he doesn't know how to ask his wife.
"120,000, your parents only have 60,000. This amount of money is probably not enough to buy another house in Shenzhen. Also, what about retirement? You three brothers have to discuss it carefully. Now that your father has sold the house, you can't get it cheaply. You can't just ignore your parents."
Father Xiao understood clearly that if his son-in-law couldn't even take care of his own parents, then they would have no hope in him in the future.
"Yeah, I thought so too. Let's talk about it after I settle my parents down." Han Shichang said and looked at his wife again.
Xiao Meiling rolled her eyes at her husband and said unhappily, "Why are you looking at me? How can I not provide for my parents in their old age? You three brothers can just discuss it and decide how much you deserve."
"That's right, Meiling is quite clear about this. Okay, you guys discuss the rest among yourselves. If you have anything to say, just talk it out nicely. Don't be too pushy."
Xiao's mother patted her daughter's hand. They only had one daughter, and she would definitely be taken care of by her daughter and son-in-law in the future, so she couldn't let her son-in-law feel uncomfortable.
"Hey, okay, Mom and Dad, it's getting late, you should go to bed!"
Xiao Meiling saw her parents enter the room, and then said in a low voice awkwardly: "Shichang, tell Dad that we don't want the money from selling the house. Living in my aunt's house is not a big deal. When the time comes, the three of us will add some money to buy a smaller house for my parents. Having our own house will always make us feel more at ease."
"Meiling, you..." Han Shichang looked at his wife in surprise.
"What do you mean by 'you'? I've always been so reasonable. Just now you lost your temper without even listening to me finish. Han Shichang, I've told you that you are not allowed to lose your temper or be sarcastic in the future." Xiao Meiling said while glaring at her husband.
"Okay, it's my fault, it's all my fault, hey, you are so generous..."
…
In June, Jiang Xinhong and Han Shan officially moved to Shenzhen, and the whole family lived closer from then on.
"Xiaobai, this is not a rental house. The houses that other people sell are not decorated as well as yours." Jiang Xinhong looked at the room and nodded with satisfaction.
"Oh, sister, it's not as good as you say. You and your brother-in-law should just live here peacefully." Jiang Xinbai had bought a refrigerator and a washing machine into the house before the people came, for fear that his sister would be unhappy if he bought more later.
"Xiaobai, I'm sorry to have caused you and Jinsheng so much expense and trouble." Han Shan felt very embarrassed.
"Brother-in-law, look at what you are saying. Family members should help each other. If you have any problems in the future, just tell me."
Yang Jinsheng smiled and patted Han Shan's shoulder, thinking that his brother-in-law was too obedient. If he had been with them, he would have a lot of wealth now, at least he could afford to buy a house.
"Oh, by the way, elder sister, elder brother-in-law, have you discussed the matter of old-age care?"
Hearing her sister mention this, Jiang Xinhong couldn't help but laughed out loud, "When you mention this, I have to say that your father called Shih Hsin Shih Rong and asked them to give him fifty yuan a month. He was quite forthcoming at first, but then his wife probably said something and wanted to bargain! Then your father got angry and said he wanted a hundred yuan, not a cent less. If they didn't give him the money, he would go to Shanghai to find them and live in their house to see if they could bear it."
"Haha, did my brother-in-law really say that?" Yang Jinsheng looked at his brother-in-law with amusement. He didn't expect that he was such a funny person.
Jiang Xinbai frowned after hearing what her elder sister said, "Eldest sister, Shih Hsin and Shih Rong are really useless, and they are controlled by their wives. I think they probably don't want to give it to them either."
My two nephews earn about a thousand yuan a month in Hai City, but they only take out fifty yuan for their parents' retirement and still complain about it. They are really heartless.
"Yes, your brother-in-law said so too, and then he insisted on paying the hundred dollars. There was nothing they could do but give it to him." Although this might offend their son and daughter-in-law, they were at ease.
"What about Shichang? Is he also so slow?"
Jiang Xinhong shook her head. "Shichang didn't, he was very straightforward. At first he said fifty was not enough and wanted to give a hundred, but later he was dragged down by his two brothers and really had to give a hundred."
"Yes, I can see that. Among the three sons, Shichang is the best. He said he didn't want the 60,000 yuan from the sale of the house anymore, and gave it all to us so that we could buy a small house, but we refused. We can't just cheat whoever is filial to us, right? His two older brothers took the money long ago, and we don't want his either." Han Shan felt that he was being fair and didn't owe any of his children anything.
Speaking of buying a house, Jiang Xinbai glanced at her husband, then whispered, "Sister, my second sister, my third brother and I have discussed it, and the three of us want to pool some money to buy a smaller house for you and your brother-in-law."
