Chapter 1186 Convince Yourself
After hearing what his wife said, Xing Dayong didn't show it on his face, but he started to think about it in his heart.
When He Cuicui saw that her husband did not reject it outright, she knew that this matter had a chance, so she rolled her eyes and continued:
"Dayong, you are the eldest son. According to the rules, your parents should live with us. As long as we take care of them in their old age, everything they leave behind should belong to our family.
It’s just that now is a new society, and the rule that parents’ things are left to the eldest grandson is no longer popular, but the three sons should have a share of the parents’ things.”
"You also said that those are Daddy and Mommy's things. How are they going to divide them?"
Xing Dayong felt that what his wife said made sense, but he also had to look at the actual situation. Ever since he instigated his wife to separate the family, his parents had been indifferent to him. Now he had restrained himself a lot, and even if he had any plans, he kept them to himself.
He also felt that when his parents got old and could no longer work, they would still have to rely on their son for support, so he treated his youngest sister as a treasure. So when something like that happened to his youngest sister this time, they only went to their home on the day of the accident to check on her and took a look around, and did not interfere in the subsequent affairs.
Just like dad said, now that they have separated, they should just take care of their own family affairs. Anyway, as long as mom and dad are around, they will make the decisions regarding younger sister's affairs. But none of the three of them expected that not only would mom and dad keep the younger sister with a bad reputation, they would also support her to repeat her studies. This made him feel a little uncomfortable.
So when others asked him about his youngest sister, he would just sigh in a pretentious manner, and then say that his parents were still alive and would make the decision for his sister, perfectly embodying the image of an unpopular eldest brother.
Moreover, in his opinion, since the family has been separated, his sister's reputation will not affect their family. But now that there are visible benefits, he is a little restless. However, he also has his own concerns. He is still quite afraid of his father.
"Dayong, how old are your parents? They are not in good health, but they still work so hard for your little sister. You are the eldest son, you can watch them. Before, I thought your parents just went to the county town with your little sister to live for two days. Now you know how hard they work, you have to go and see them and help them."
He Cuicui immediately found a reasonable excuse for her man.
"You're right. If I didn't know this, I wouldn't have said anything. Now I know that my parents work from dawn to dusk. The summer harvest is coming soon. We can't let them ruin their bodies like this."
Seeing that Xing Dayong finally spoke up, He Cuicui smiled, rolled her eyes and said:
"Eryong and Sanyong also know about this, and they will definitely go together when the time comes."
"I understand. I will discuss it with my second and third brothers tomorrow."
Xing Dayong knew that this matter would definitely not leave out the other two brothers.
Lianyi had no idea about Fuyuan Village's plot, and even if she knew, she would not take it to heart. She still went to school as usual, exercised, did exercises, memorized lessons every day, and helped her parents with the stall.
Because we have reached the final sprint stage of the second half of the semester, the weekend break has been cancelled. Everyone goes to school to study on their own and can go home at six in the afternoon.
Lianyi's classmates had a better impression of her because of her stable grades and the fact that she also contributed her own collection of wrong questions. Whenever someone like Liu Qi came out to say something sarcastic, there would be classmates who would stand up for her.
"If you think it's unfair, then don't copy Xing Lianyi's collection of wrong answers! You are so shameless to use someone else's things and say such mean things!"
"That's right. If you didn't use the information compiled by others, I would still praise you for having backbone. But you are really holding a bowl to eat and scolding the person who serves you the food. How dare you be so shameless!"
The person who was attacked immediately ran away, covering his face. Lianyi smiled and thanked her two classmates. She also patiently helped them explain the last application question left by the math teacher today. Then the three of them left together.
When Lianyi returned to the rented house, she found that the small yard was a little crowded because her three good brothers had come with their wives. However, this time they were smart enough to bring some things with them. Although it was just some food and firewood, it was much better than coming empty-handed.
Lianyi greeted her three brothers and sisters-in-law politely, then went into her own little room and started reading and doing homework.
After a while, Xing's mother brought in dinner.
"Mom, just call me, I'll go eat by myself."
Ripple said with a look of disapproval.
"I didn't know what they were thinking, so I brought a little food with me and hoped to have a dinner with meat and vegetables. They were dreaming, so I cooked a pot of corn paste and gave them plenty of pickled vegetables.
I prepared your meal for you, please eat quickly, and I will wash the dishes after you finish eating."
Lianyi didn't act pretentiously after hearing this. She picked up the bowl and started eating. While eating, she asked in a low voice:
"Brother, have they found their conscience and come to see you and dad?"
"Humph! I thought your father and I didn't know what they were thinking. He Cuicui's greedy face made me feel annoyed. She came here for our little business."
Xing's mother said with a gloomy face.
Lianyi nodded to show that she understood. This was expected and they had no intention of hiding it.
"So what are you and Dad planning?"
Lian Yi also asked.
"Put it on for now. Anyway, there's not much time left until your college entrance exam. Your father and I want to make as much money as possible."
Xing's mother said helplessly that after all, he was her son and she couldn't just ignore him.
"Mom, tell Dad not to make things too awkward with the three brothers, so they don't hold us back when we leave."
Lian Yi instructed.
"Your father knows what's going on. Now you just need to focus on your studies."
Lianyi nodded in agreement. Anyway, with her parents around, her three brothers couldn't make trouble for her. At most, her three sisters-in-law would say some sour words, but these couldn't hurt her.
After it got dark, the three brothers had to take their wives back to the village. They wanted to make do, but the place was too small and there was no room for them.
After finishing her homework, Lianyi went to her parents' room to chat with them and calculate today's accounts. She was the one who did it before, and she remembered the daily accounts clearly, and then summarized them once a month, so that the three of them would know how much they earned.
Lian Yi counted the money swiftly, recorded the account, put the account book away, and then asked:
"Dad, Mom, what did my brother and the others say?"
Old Man Xing's face was still calm, and he just said lightly:
"They are interested in our small business and want to come to the county to make money."
"They only see the money, but don't look at the initial investment and your daily hard work."
Ripple said disdainfully.
Old Man Xing didn't respond, but his expression conveyed the same meaning.
"So what are your plans, Dad?"
Ripple asked.
"I just told them what they needed to set up this small stall and told them to go back and do the math. If they really want to do it, they can get ready. You can ask your mother to teach them how to make pancakes."
