Chapter 311 Demolition 1
Yang Lili found that her mother had not called her since she had called her to scold her before the New Year, as if she no longer existed as her daughter.
"Hmm? So this is not a good thing? Do you want Second Aunt to chase you to Shenzhen City and scold you?" Yang Jiazhen looked at her strangely. Did she still want to be scolded?
Yang Lili sighed, feeling empty inside. "In fact, I had already prepared myself to be beaten and scolded. I was very afraid of my mother when I was little, and I listened to her in everything. But I didn't listen to her and went home during the Chinese New Year this time. It seemed that she had no other options except scolding me over the phone. So, I don't think I'm that afraid of my mother anymore."
Yang Jiazhen curled her lips and said, "I've said it before, your mother is just a paper tiger, she can only scare you. You must not let your mother know how much money you make now, otherwise, you won't be able to keep the money."
When it comes to money, Yang Lili is still very grateful to her cousin, "Sister Zhenzhen, thank you. If you hadn't helped me with the idea, I might have really given my mother all the money I had."
"Oh, what are you thanking me for? I'm just helping you this time. You have to stand up on your own in the future. You have to be tough when facing Second Aunt. You see, Jingjing is much stronger than you."
"Yes, Jingjing's personality is completely different from mine." Sometimes Yang Lili envied her sister's temperament. She dared to talk back to her mother and to resist. She was very lively.
…
In a blink of an eye, it was 1985. That year, Yang Jiabao also took the college entrance examination, but as expected, he failed.
Yang Jinsheng looked at the scores of several subjects he had just asked about on the phone and said with a click of the tongue, "Look at your scores. Jiadong's scores in two subjects combined are much higher than yours. Tell me, where are you going to work?"
Yang Jiabao pouted, "Dad, please stop criticizing me. I'm not a good student, so it's normal that I didn't do well in the exam!"
"Yes, it's normal that you didn't do well in the exam. Okay, don't think about where to work. Go work at the barbecue restaurant for a while. Your mom and I have to go back to our hometown for something."
Yang Jinsheng thought of the phone call he received yesterday and narrowed his eyes. This time when he returned, it would be another tough battle, but he was not afraid.
"What? The barbecue restaurant is the busiest right now, what are you going back for? If you miss your grandparents, I can go home and bring them over!"
"Stop interfering in adults' affairs." Yang Jinsheng rolled his eyes at his eldest son. All he does is ask questions all day long. Why isn't he paying attention in his studies?
"Hmph, I know it even without you telling me. Is the house in my hometown going to be demolished?" Yang Jiabao asked with a proud look on his face.
"Hey, did you eavesdrop on what I said to your mom? Why are you asking me?"
"I wasn't eavesdropping, you guys were just talking too loudly."
"Okay, now that you know it, keep it in mind and take good care of the store."
Back home, Yang Jinqiang looked out the window and sighed, then asked, "Huifen, what do you think?"
Li Huifen paused while wiping the table, threw the rag away, and sat down on the chair. "What should I think? I want to have a share. Will your parents be willing to give it to me?"
Yang Jinqiang frowned, "Don't say anything angry, we are discussing it!"
"What is there to discuss? The third child paid for half of the house, and dad also said he would give the other half to him. So this house has nothing to do with us."
Li Huifen wanted it, but what was the use if the other party didn't give it to her.
"Okay, since you said so, we shouldn't say anything when the third brother and his wife come back, and we can't follow Su Qiuyan around, understand?"
Yang Jinqiang knew what his father was thinking, so he didn't want to snatch the house. It would be fine to give it to the third child. After all, he was the only one in his family who had two boys.
Speaking of Su Qiuyan, Li Huifen laughed, "You know what, Su Qiuyan came to me again yesterday and asked me to protest to my parents, saying that they are all sons, so why should the house be given to the third child. I know, she just wants to instigate me, I won't be fooled!"
Seeing that his wife understood, Yang Jinqiang's face became more positive. "It's good that you understand. Our house is also within the demolition range, so we won't lose anything."
We have agreed on it here, but Yang Jinwei and Su Qiuyan are still arguing over there!
Su Qiuyan was throwing things around in the kitchen, looking unhappy. Just then, her little daughter Jingjing came in to get some water. As soon as she caught her, she scolded her, "Hey, you're either eating or drinking all day long, and you never help me. I do all the housework, I owe you!"
Yang Jinwei, who was resting in his room, came out after hearing the noise, waved to his little daughter who looked aggrieved, and said, "Jingjing, go back to your room and do your homework well."
"Oh," Yang Jingjing also knew about the recent demolition. She didn't want to be a punching bag, so she ran back to her room.
Su Qiuyan rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "You are the only one who can be a good person. You are a good father, and I am a bad stepmother, right?"
"You can be angry, but why scold the child? Are you really going to make Jingjing angry and leave?"
Su Qiuyan became even more excited when she heard this. She raised her head, put her hands on her hips and said, "What do you mean? Who am I mad at? Yang Lili is so heartless. Ah, she hasn't even mentioned coming home for two or three years. Does she still recognize me as her mother?"
"Why don't they acknowledge you? Don't they send you money every month? Otherwise, where do you get all the new clothes in your closet?"
Yang Jinwei thinks his eldest daughter has done a great job. She sends back 150 yuan every month without fail. How many children can do this?
"Money? Am I after her money? Is it easy for me to raise her to this age?" Su Qiuyan felt that no one understood her grievances.
"Then don't spend the money Lili sends back. I'll save it."
"Why shouldn't I spend money? What's wrong with me spending a few of her money? Isn't it the duty of children to respect their parents? She's living alone in Shenzhen, eating and drinking well, what's wrong with me giving her some money to spend?"
Yang Jinwei was too impatient to talk to her about this anymore and waved his hand. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Don't mention the matter of my parents' house either. We agreed before that it would be given to the third child. There's no point in bringing up the past."
"Why is it useless? Who said that? Did I agree? Why should I give it to the third son out of three?"
Those are not pots and pans, they are houses. Especially during this demolition, she heard that the compensation would be high, so she was unwilling to give it to the third brother and his wife for nothing!
"You don't need to agree. The property certificate is in the names of Dad and the third son."
Yang Jinwei did have some ideas, but firstly, he was not in the right, and secondly, his parents might not give it to him even if he wanted it, so why bother!
"Then I will make a scene and make everyone feel uneasy. If they don't give me a share, I will hang myself at the door of my parents' house. I wonder if they are afraid."
Su Qiuyan looked at her husband fiercely.
