Chapter 384 Sister, you sold your house and came to Shenzhen
Chen Cui'e sighed, "It's no use if only the son is filial. The daughter-in-law also needs to be filial. Shixin's daughter-in-law said that their house in Hai City only has three rooms. They live in one room, and the two children live in one room each. There is no place for your eldest sister to live."
"That's true. The eldest son of the Shixin family is in his twenties, and the daughter is a girl who is also in her teens. It is indeed inappropriate for her to live in the same room with her parents." Jiang Xinbai could understand.
"Yes, Shirong does have only one child and a room, but he found an excuse to refuse." Chen Cui'e felt that her eldest daughter was not as lucky as she was as a mother. At least Xiaobai and his brothers and sisters were all very filial.
"Then it's even worse here with Shichang, he lives with his father-in-law and mother-in-law."
The wife Shichang had found was an only child. She had lived with her parents-in-law for so many years. He couldn't possibly want to live separately now, could he? No one could say such a thing.
"Yeah, so I froze."
"Mom, why does my eldest sister have to live with them? Wouldn't it be fine if she just asked her third brother to give her money every month?" Jiang Xinbai couldn't figure it out. Wouldn't it be more comfortable for her to live by herself?
Chen Cui'e glanced at her youngest daughter and explained, "Your eldest sister didn't say that she had to live with them, but the three sons couldn't agree on the money!"
"What does this mean?"
"Ah," Chen Cui'e sighed again, "The house that your eldest brother-in-law got was demolished, and Shih-hsin and Shih-rong asked for money, so only your eldest sister and Shih-chang have a share of the remaining houses. Originally, we wanted to pick two houses, each with 60 square meters, but your eldest brother-in-law was unlucky, and when we were choosing houses later, there was only 120 square meters left. We had no choice but to pick this one, and Shih-chang's name was written on it in the end."
Jiang Xinbai understood immediately, "Mom, so they are using this house as an excuse and are unwilling to pay for the retirement benefits, right?"
"Yes, that's what they said. Shichang's wife said that the three sons must pay together, but Shixin's wife and others said that my parents' house was also registered to Shichang, and Shichang should be responsible for their retirement. You said that because of this, your eldest sister is about to cry her eyes out."
"Do Shixin and Shirong think the same?" Jiang Xinbai thought to herself that her two nephews wouldn't be like her daughter-in-law and ignore their parents, right? After all, the demolition money was given to them before, so it would be reasonable for the eldest sister not to give them a penny, after all, this was the house that the eldest brother-in-law had allocated.
Chen Cui'e shook her head. "Does it matter what they think now? They can't make the decision. The family is controlled by their wives!"
"Mom, please stop speaking for them. Was it easy for my eldest sister and her husband to raise them? Ah, which one of them didn't pay for their wives and houses? Now that my eldest sister and her family are old and need to be taken care of, they all start to make excuses. To me, they are not good people. They even push the responsibility onto their wives. If they really cared, they would have paid for it long ago."
Jiang Xinbai said a lot of things angrily. She thought that when she and her husband reached 60, she would also ask for retirement money for her two sons. What she had was hers, but she couldn't just give nothing to her two sons! Otherwise, they would be spoiled to the point of not knowing what to do.
"Well, what can you do if you know? The money is in their pockets, so I told you to talk to Shih-Hsin and the others. You can't just ignore your parents, right?"
Jiang Xinbai frowned and replied, "Okay, Mom, I'll go back and call and ask my eldest sister and the others what they think, and then I'll talk to the three brothers later."
As soon as he got home, Jiang Xinbai threw his bag down and called his hometown directly.
"Hello, big sister, it's me, Xiaobai."
"Oh, Xiaobai, how come you have time to call me today?" Jiang Xinhong put down the button in her hand, leaned back on the sofa and asked with a smile.
"Big sis, mom just told me that the three of Shih Hsin are really going too far. You and your brother-in-law are the same. Why didn't you tell us? Are you just going to let them do what they want?"
Jiang Xinhong on the other end of the phone couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing what her younger sister said: "What can we do! They all have to raise children, which is not easy. Your brother-in-law and I have a house to live in, and your brother-in-law has a pension. I can do some manual work, which is enough for our expenses. I won't bother them."
"Big sister..." Jiang Xinbai was extremely helpless. Why did she make herself so pitiful? Who would care about her? Impossible. If they are not willing to pay for their retirement now, then when they get sick in the future, don't expect them to pay for the medical expenses.
Although she is rich, she would not ignore her elder sister if it really came to that, but that is not how things work. Why should she tire herself out by taking care of someone who should be the next generation?
Jiang Xinbai took a deep breath and continued to ask, "Sister, is your brother-in-law home?"
"Ah, your brother-in-law, he's out, what's the matter? Do you have something to do with him?"
"Oh, it's OK as long as he's gone. Big sister, let me say something unpleasant. It's OK if your big brother-in-law is alive. He has a pension, which is enough for your daily expenses. But what if your big brother-in-law is gone? What will you do? You have neither a pension nor medical care. Food and drink cost money, and hospitalization also costs money. What do you think you will do? They are unwilling to give money now, do you think they will give money then?"
"..." Jiang Xinhong didn't know how to refute for a moment and could only remain silent.
Jiang Xinbai sighed and continued, "Sister, if you don't know how to explain it, let me explain it. There is one more thing I want to make clear. The house you live in now is in Shichang's name. Does that mean you will give this house to Shichang in the future?"
"No, no, the other half belongs to me and your brother-in-law. We agreed on this when we applied for the property certificate." Jiang Xinhong said while waving her hands.
"Does Shih Hsin Shih-Rong know about this?"
"Yes, I have told them all. I told them when I applied for the property certificate. After all, this house belongs to us and Shichang."
"It's no use saying that. After all, the house is visibly owned by Shichang. Tsk, you said you did this, why didn't you just write your name and Shichang's name in the first place?"
"Hey, stop talking. I regret it now. Your brother-in-law was still talking about me yesterday. Now my sons are upset because of this."
Jiang Xinhong also regretted it. She just thought about convenience at the beginning and didn't think too much about it.
Jiang Xinbai thought about it and gave an idea, "Sister, I have an idea for you. Sell the house you live in now, and then buy a smaller one in Shenzhen. This way we can live close to each other and take care of each other."
