As soon as the Zhu family left, Su Yan heard the sound of a car ignition and walked out of the room holding the child.
Hua Min took the child from Su Yan. Lu Fengnian looked at Lu Jin and said, "Your wedding is scheduled for May Day. The betrothal money is given today. Tomorrow you take Zhu Ting to the department store to choose a watch and a bicycle, and buy her some cloth to make clothes.
If you want to live in a courtyard house after you get married, you can go ahead and live there. The main courtyard will be left for my mother and your eldest brother's family. There will be three rooms in the east and west wing, three rooms each, for a total of six rooms. You, Lu Chen, Lu Yu and the others can each have two rooms.
When Yiming turns eighteen, I will transfer the house to his name, and then your mother and I will move back to the Siheyuan to retire."
Su Yan knew this was the case. The house belonged to their children, and Lu Ting's brothers all had the right to live there. So what was the point of their family still having the house? What if the price of the house skyrocketed in ten or twenty years, and then the Lu family would have another big fight over the house?
It seems having too many sons is also a source of constant trouble! Su Yan felt a little sad for her parents-in-law. They worked hard all their lives just to find wives for their sons, and now in their old age, they still have to watch their sons quarrel over the house.
Su Yan thought about it and said, "Dad, for the sake of family harmony, you should not say it's our Lu Ting and Yiming's. Let's talk about it eighteen years later."
"Dad, Mom, Yanyan and I are planning to save money to buy a courtyard house for ourselves. Since the ancestral home is under Dad's name, let's keep it in his name and don't transfer it.
Mom and Dad, you are so young, you can move back to the Siheyuan when you retire. If Xiaojin wants to get married in the Siheyuan, then I have no objection to getting married in the Siheyuan."
"You want to buy a courtyard house? Do you have that much money?"
"Dad, we'll figure out the money issue ourselves."
Lu Ting also didn't want the brothers to end up arguing over the house issue. After they get married and start a family, everyone will have their own little thoughts, and there is nothing to say about it.
Lu felt a little uneasy when his elder brother and sister-in-law said this. He knew that his family members were sincere to him, and he didn't want to compete with his elder brother for the house. However, there was nothing wrong with the Zhu family considering Zhu Ting. The biggest mistake was that he had no ability. If he had the ability, he would not do this.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I won't fight with you for the courtyard. We will get married here in the military compound. After we work for a long time, the hospital will definitely allocate houses."
Lu Ting frowned and glanced at his reserved brother. He said, "Lu Jin, don't overthink it. Isn't your girlfriend Zhu Ting studying in the city? Living in the courtyard is very convenient. There are three rooms in the east wing. You can take two and leave one for Lu Yu's future child."
Anyway, his father has divided up all the houses in the courtyard. If they want to go back to the courtyard to live during the New Year, the main courtyard has two large suites and two side rooms, which is enough for his parents and their family.
"The wedding banquet will be held in the military compound, and the bridal chamber will be the room you're staying in now. You can stay in the courtyard on Saturdays and Sundays, but you have to think carefully. If you stay there, you'll have to start your own business."
Lu Fengnian did not separate his children. The eldest son lived separately because he had his own house. Sometimes when the eldest daughter-in-law was not at home, the eldest son would still go home to eat together.
As an outsider, Hua Jing didn't say a word tonight. Every family has its own problems, and she couldn't get involved in the Lu family's affairs.
This is also because my sister's family is well-off and her nephews are obedient. If they met disobedient ones, they would have quarreled from morning to night.
Lu Ting and Su Yan returned home, and Su Yan directly took out a large bag of money from the space.
"Lu Ting, let's hurry up and buy that courtyard house in Houhai. Let the seller exchange the gold himself."
"How much is this bag?"
"Forty thousand yuan."
"Yan Yan, just take out a thousand. You don't need that much."
"Forget it, save the thousand for yourself. You gave me all the money, how can you not keep some money for yourself?
When you go out on missions in the future, if you come across anyone selling ginseng or cordyceps, buy some. You can also buy some Wuliangye and Moutai. Store them in the space and drink them after your children get married."
Anyway, they are not short of money. They make money to spend and buy whatever they like.
"Okay, thank you Yanyan. Yanyan, will you blame my dad for not transferring the house directly to us?"
"What's so strange about this? Before your grandfather died, your father said that anyone can live in this house.
If we really give it to them now, when Lu Chen and Lu Yu get married and their lives are not going well, their wives will definitely come and argue with us.
We might as well not do it. When your parents are old and your brothers and sisters have divided up the house, they will definitely transfer the house out. Then we can buy the house with our own money and no one will complain."
Zhu Wei drove the family back to the military academy's family compound. Huang Shuping turned to Zhu Ting and said, "Tingting, you've seen how well the Lu family treats their eldest daughter-in-law. They don't need her to take care of the child. They even hired a nanny to help take care of the child at home. The child doesn't drink breast milk, but only formula."
"Sister-in-law, the one taking care of the child is Aunt Lu Jin."
"I know it's Lu Jin's aunt. It's impossible for her to help someone take care of the child for no reason. She must have paid for it."
"Sister-in-law, what if it was Lu Jin's brother and sister-in-law who gave the money?"
"No matter who she is, Sister-in-law Lu Jin has it so easy. She doesn't have to take care of children, and her parents-in-law keep praising how filial she is.
If you marry into the Lu family, but you can't cook, and you can't read people's faces and say flattering words, what will you do? The child you give birth to won't be the eldest grandson of the Lu family.
What if I give birth to a girl? Look how much the Lu family likes that little fat boy. "
"Sister-in-law, don't you want me to marry into the Lu family? Lu Jin is a college student, and so am I. As soon as we graduate, we'll be assigned jobs. Lu Jin's parents are both cadres, and they have an ancestral home in the city. Isn't this much better than ours?"
Although her father is the principal, her mother does not have a job. Her eldest brother is a clerk and her eldest sister-in-law is a salesperson, but they are still a little inferior to Lu Jin's eldest brother and sister-in-law.
Seeing his daughter-in-law and daughter suddenly quarreling, Zhu Jinghong stopped them and said, "Okay, stop arguing. The Lu family is quite well-off, and Lu Jin is an honest child. Tingting will definitely enjoy a good life if she marries him.
As for the courtyard house, Old Lu didn't say he would transfer it to Lu Ting's son right away. I think Old Lu has at least another thirty years to live in, so why are you in such a hurry? Just live there now."
My sister-in-law is a simple-minded person. When she suffers a loss in the future, she will know that her family is doing it for her own good.
"Your sister-in-law seems to be more cunning than you. If you want to live a good life in the Lu family, you should move to the courtyard and live alone with Lu Jin. There will be fewer conflicts if you don't live under the same roof with your in-laws."
Mrs. Zhu looked up at Huang Shuping and asked, "Xiaoping, is this why you and your wife don't live with us and leave the child to me?"
Huang Shuping laughed awkwardly, "Mom, doesn't my brother-in-law live with you? And we live in the same compound, so we can see him every day."
"Humph! Indeed, I see you every day. You come back at mealtime, eat your fill, throw away your bowls, and go back to your own homes. Our home has become a hotel for you two.
Stop teaching Tingting to play tricks. Maybe she's just lucky. Who is Master Lu? Can you compare with his cunning? "
