Grandpa opened the big box in front of everyone.
There are small boxes inside.
He took out the small square box on top and opened it.
Inside were two passbooks and two house ownership certificates.
He gave one of the passbooks to Song's father and gave the square box directly to Song's uncle.
"This is the family's money and real estate. The fourth brother's family had divided it up before, and this is all yours. There's 10,000 yuan in the passbook, and there's a house with three courtyards in Xidan. It's for Xiao Min's wedding, and the other one is for you to live in when you're old."
"The fourth brother's family has a house allocated by the army, and I will still live with them, just like now."
After he finished speaking, Min Huixin was very dissatisfied.
She said in a tone of grievance and dissatisfaction, "Dad, the fourth family was given six courtyards, and you only gave us two. Aren't you too partial? Others don't know what we've been living like in the northwest for so many years. You know how hard it is to eat coarse grains and vegetables. How can we live like we do in Beijing? Dad, you have to give us another house."
She wanted to say two sets but that seemed unlikely.
He just said it with hatred.
Grandma Song glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law who was lying on the ground crying.
He said calmly, "Your father and I are only in charge of the great-grandchildren's generation. The houses divided among the fourth child's families are determined by how many sons they have. Since the fourth child has two sons, he will be given two houses. Xiao Min is not married yet. Isn't a three-story house enough for him? Besides, you have a house too. Even if Xiao Min has two sons, it will be enough."
Min Huixin wanted to get more things, as she couldn't just get rid of them with just a few spoons.
She squeezed out a few tears and said, "What if Xiao Min has three sons and there aren't enough for them? Xiao Si now has four courtyards. One is for the army, and you gave him three. He can't use them all, so give us one."
Song's mother was so angry that she laughed.
She said sarcastically: "Sister-in-law, do you want to give you both of Xiao Si's courtyards?"
Min Huixin nodded repeatedly.
"Two sets are fine, two sets are fine."
The next second, she reacted and glared at Mother Song.
Uncle Song felt so ashamed that he turned his head away in anger.
Lin Qingqing looked at her grandfather's dark face, and then looked at Min Huixin's aggrieved look.
She was not anxious at all about others' intention to take over her house.
Even if grandpa wanted to give it to her, grandma wouldn't agree.
She could see that grandma really disliked this aunt.
Grandma couldn't stand it any longer and said angrily, "Li En, you should take care of your wife yourself. You did this in front of outsiders and you didn't even say a word. No wonder she ended up like this."
Uncle Song turned to look at Min Huixin: "Stop talking so much and don't make Mom and Dad angry."
Min Huixin glanced at her man.
Now is the time to separate the family. If you don’t fight for it, you won’t even have a hot meal to eat.
She looked at her grandfather again and wanted to speak.
Grandpa raised his eyebrows and said, "If you're not satisfied, then exchange the three-courtyard house I gave you for the one Xiao Si has. If you're still not satisfied, I'll take back the other courtyard. It hasn't been transferred yet anyway."
Min Huixin was so scared that she hugged the square box tightly and shook her head.
"Let's leave it at that for the yard."
She knew the old man's temper and knew that he would not scare people with his words. He would do what he said.
"Then Dad, you gave the betrothal gift for Xiao Min's marriage, right? Didn't you give it to the fourth brother's family for three children?"
She glanced at the passbook in front of Song's father.
Grandpa waved his hand and said, "After the family splits up, I won't be in charge of the children and grandchildren's marriages. Xiao Min's marriage is your own responsibility. It's not my fault that you delayed the child's marriage until so late."
After saying that, his tone changed and he said leisurely, "You guys have never sent me any pension money in the past 20 years in the Northwest. Boss and Xiao Min must have saved quite a bit from their salaries, right? And when Boss came back from the Northwest this time, I understand he was given 10,000 yuan in compensation. Why don't you take out the money?"
"Old Fourth's family, except for his three daughters-in-law who don't hand over any money, all the money in the passbook is saved by Old Fourth and his family. Now I'm giving you a share, and Old Fourth hasn't said anything yet, but you're taking advantage and still want this and that? Humph, if you're not satisfied, don't take a single cent."
Mother Song's face turned pale.
She was not one to care about these things, but when her sister-in-law acted like this, she suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
Uncle Song also felt that this was a bit too much, and hurriedly tried to grab the square box in Min Hui's arms to take out the passbook.
"This is the money that the fourth brother's family has saved. I am too embarrassed to ask for it. Please take out the passbook."
Min Huixin was unwilling to let go.
She doesn't want to spend the money she has received.
