Chapter 387 I Won’t Give You a Retirement
"Buy us a house?" Jiang Xinhong pointed at herself and shook her head. "No, no, we don't want it. Xiaobai, it's already very good that you give us a free house to live in."
"Sister, please listen to me first," Jiang Xinbai pulled Jiang Xinhong to sit on the chair.
"Xiaobai, you don't have to say anything. Shichang also mentioned this. He said that the three brothers would pool their money to buy a small house for me and his mother. I refused. Why spend that money? It's a waste." Han Shan waved his hand and said.
"Hmph, you talk nicely. If you want it, will the other two pay for it?" Jiang Xinhong said, pointing at her husband.
Han Shan straightened his waist and said, "I refused because I knew there was no chance, so as to avoid arguing and making trouble."
"Hey, you old man."
"Big sister, let's not talk about anything else. The house matter was discussed by the three of us. You don't have to feel burdened..."
"No, Xiaobai, I appreciate the kindness from you, Xiaolan, and Baocheng, but this is a house, not groceries. I can't just accept it with a clear conscience. Do you understand what I mean?" Jiang Xinhong looked at her sister seriously.
“Big sister…”
"Xiaobai, what elder sister said makes sense. Let's talk about this later." Yang Jinsheng patted his wife's hand and persuaded her.
Jiang Xinbai looked at her elder sister's serious expression and could only sigh helplessly, "Okay, let's talk about it later. But elder sister, let me tell you, if Shih Hsin finds their conscience and gives you money, you should take it. Don't worry about whether it is given behind their wives' backs, just take it, understand?"
"I know, I know. How could I not know that?"
"Okay, Xiaobai, let big sister and brother-in-law rest first."
"Okay, big sister, let's go shopping together again in a few days, and I'll buy you two more sets of clothes."
"Brother-in-law, I'll go shopping with you and buy you clothes." Yang Jinsheng said with a smile.
"Okay, Jinsheng, you accompany me to buy it." Han Shan laughed.
On the other side of Hai City, at Han Shirong's house, Huang Tingting was throwing things around in the kitchen, looking very angry.
Han Shirong couldn't help it anymore and shouted loudly: "Huang Tingting, if you can do it, then do it. If you can't do it, then don't do it. Who are you doing this for?"
Huang Tingting, who was in the kitchen, heard her husband say this and came out with a spatula, "Han Shirong, listen to what you say, are you talking like a human being? Who has been running the family all these years? Without me, you can't even have a meal, and now you despise me, right?"
"I can't have food to eat without you? I don't believe it. I can't have food to eat even if I have money." Han Shirong sat on the sofa and stared at his wife.
"Han Shirong, are you saying this because you despise me for not making money? Who am I not going out to make money for? Now that the child has grown up, you despise me for not making money. Woohoo, you have no conscience, you despise me..." Huang Tingting said as she sat down on the ground and started crying.
Han Shirong looked at his wife who was sitting on the ground like a scoundrel with a headache, "You are so old, your son is already in college, and you are still sitting on the ground crying like a child, aren't you ashamed?"
"I'm not ashamed, Han Shirong. Don't think I don't know. You're just upset about your parents' affairs and you take it out on me. Am I the one who stopped you from being filial to your parents? Your son is 20 years old. Will he get married in a few years? Will he need to prepare a new house? Doesn't it cost money? I'm saying this for the sake of our little family."
Huang Tingting didn't think she was wrong. When she was young, she and her husband came to Haishi to work hard, and bought a small three-bedroom house with the money from the demolition. Although her husband has an income every month, won't it cost money when her son gets married and her grandson is born? They are old, how many years can they earn money? If you don't plan now, you will cry later!
"But my parents are asking for fifty a month, and you were still complaining. Look, now it's better, they're asking for a hundred!"
Han Shirong was also upset. Although he earned the money at home, he couldn't use it because it was all in his wife's bankbook! If she didn't give it to him, there was nothing anyone could do.
"Humph, fifty a month, three families would be one hundred and fifty, and dad has a pension of six hundred a month. Can they finish it all? I originally wanted to give nine hundred a year and share it among the three families, but who would have thought that dad would be so stubborn and insist on one hundred. We are all old people, don't we know how to think about the next generation?" Huang Tingting was a little unwilling when she mentioned this. One hundred a month, twelve hundred a year, and should she also show some appreciation during festivals? Thinking of this, her heart ached even more.
Han Shirong didn't bother to pay attention to her, and directly stretched out his hand and said, "Give me a hundred, and this month's money will be given to my parents."
"It's already the twelfth of this month, you can just give me one hundred or fifty."
"Are you going to take it or not? If you don't take it, don't even think about controlling my salary in the future." Han Shirong said cruelly.
"You..." Huang Tingting looked at her husband's serious expression. She paused and could only reluctantly take out a hundred yuan from the room. "Here, I give it to you."
Han Shirong took the money and glanced at his wife, "From now on, I will set aside money for my parents every month."
He gets his salary on the 15th, so he has to save money for next month and be ready to send money to his parents on the 1st of every month.
Huang Tingting gave her husband a blank stare and said, "It's up to you."
On the other side, at Han Shixin's home, the couple were also talking about this matter.
"It's all Huang Tingting's fault. Why is she so talkative? Dad said it would only take 51 months, but she insisted on making Dad angry. Now, I have to give her 100 yuan every month." Liu Dan pounded the sofa angrily. He really lost more than he gained.
"Okay, I'm the eldest, and my parents should live with us. Why are they nagging about paying a little money every month?"
Han Shixin glanced at his wife impatiently, as if she hadn't said anything. Was it all the fault of the second son's wife? Wasn't that interesting?
"Humph, you don't care about big or small things. Do you know how much pork costs per pound now? How much does our family of four spend in a month? You just open your mouth and act so relaxed. If I didn't take care of this family, do you think you could live so easily?"
Liu Dan thinks it’s great to be a man. He doesn’t have to worry about anything else except making money, and his wife is responsible for all the work at home and outside.
Han Shixin frowned irritably and said, "Then what do you say we should do? Don't care about my parents? Can you do that?"
Liu Dan turned his head away, "I didn't say that."
"Then give me the money. I want to give money to my parents. They didn't give them the Dragon Boat Festival gifts. Make up for it. Add fifty more." After saying that, Han Shixin stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his wife.
"Why give a fifty-dollar gift?"
"Then didn't you also give your parents fifty?" Han Shixin asked back. Although he didn't care about money, he knew about it.
"How can they be the same? My parents only give me filial piety money on four festivals a year, while your parents have to give me pension money every month. How can they be the same?" Liu Dan felt that her husband was really incomprehensible. Her parents raised her, and only gave her about 200 yuan in filial piety money throughout the year. Is this also counted?
"I don't care, I'm going to give you fifty, you give me one hundred and fifty."
"no,"
At this time, Han Shuyao, who was doing homework in the room, stood at the door of the room without knowing when. She looked at her parents steadily and said softly: "Mom and Dad, stop arguing. My brother and I will learn from you and not provide for your old age."
