Jiang Fen was very satisfied with the meal and felt that such a life was not impossible. They had two houses of their own, and the man treated her well. He had a job, looked okay, and seemed not bad.
While eating, Jiang Fen talked to Qian Cheng about things in the hospital to ease the embarrassment.
Wu Zhiqiu also learned about Uncle Zhang's family from Aunt Yuan.
The last straw that broke the camel's back was that none of the Zhangs had found a partner yet, while the Zhangs' children were still single and their eldest grandson was almost 15.
The eldest daughter-in-law really couldn't stand it anymore, so after dinner she told Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang to buy two houses for the two sons. Without houses, no one would introduce them to partners. If this continued, their family would be extinct.
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang also agreed, and they kept looking. Last time, the old lady wanted to sell them two rooms, but they thought they were a little too expensive and decided to look again, so the old lady rented out the houses.
When the first daughter-in-law heard about this, she also wanted to buy two houses for their family. The third daughter-in-law immediately made a request, saying that it was time for their children to get married, so if any of their children wanted to buy houses, they should buy them all.
If Uncle Zhang and his friends had so much money, they would have bought it long ago. So they started arguing and finally Uncle Zhang got angry and told them to go home and give him the money, and let them buy it themselves if they wanted.
Aunt Zhang took out her savings, and the family was able to get 80 yuan.
Now all three families are furious. They have been working for decades, and the couple has been giving their wages to their family since they got married. The children also give money to their family after they started working. How could there be such a small amount of money?
"Mom and Dad, we give the family about fifty dollars a month, which is 10,000 yuan a year. Our parents only give us eight,000 yuan. What can we do with eight? We can't even buy a house! If you don't want to leave the family, just buy two houses and let the children have a home. We will be oppressed by you for the rest of our lives. I accept it, okay?"
The eldest daughter-in-law was screaming hysterically, and Uncle Zhang's eldest son was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands.
Aunt Zhang had saved some money for her retirement, but she didn't have a job and was feeling anxious because she had no money.
But what the eldest daughter-in-law said was simply heartbreaking.
"Old family, you paid money to your family, but you didn't eat or drink, so how could you save all the money you paid? Your salary has been higher in the past year or two, so you paid more to your family. When you first got married, you and your eldest brother paid 10 yuan a month to your family. There are five people in your family to eat, and the children go to school and wear clothes. It's all money. How can you count your own money?"
"What do we eat? We don't have meat for a month. We eat potatoes, vegetables and radishes every day. Who doesn't eat fine grains nowadays? We eat coarse grains every day. We have all been through hard times. As long as we can have enough to eat now, I'm not picky. Mom, you can't say that we have eaten all the money we paid for it?"
"That's right, mom. Who else has as many workers as our family? A few years ago, we said that our children were grown up and it was inconvenient for them to live together. We were also at the age to get married, so we should buy a few houses. But you always said there was no rush. Now the guys in the family are all in their teens. Are you still not in a hurry? Do you want all of our families to be extinct?" The daughter-in-law also questioned Aunt Zhang.
"Which old man in this courtyard is like you? You are in charge of the family. It doesn't matter if you are not a father-in-law or not. Let the children start their own families and careers. We accept that you can control us at will, but why do you want to control your grandchildren? You don't even let us find a wife, and the whole family will take care of you in your old age?"
The third daughter-in-law finally vented the anger that she had been holding back for so many years.
Aunt Zhang's hands were shaking. "You are all rebelling! Big brother, little brother, and third brother, are you just going to watch them do this to me?"
None of the Zhang family's sons said a word. The grandchildren stood in the yard, staring at the old couple coldly.
The family was divided into two camps and had long been divided.
