Chapter 106: I don’t miss this son anymore
"That's my attitude. Since we've already discussed the retirement issue, let's sign a document and no one should say anything in the future. I'll also say this to the eldest and the eldest family. Don't regret it in the future because I'm a burden."
Mr. Shen knows what kind of people his eldest son and daughter-in-law are. There is absolutely no way they would think that they are a burden. Compared to the second son, the eldest son can be said to be extremely filial.
What he said was actually to remind Shen Jianguo that he would be unable to help in any way in the future and could only be a hindrance.
Sure enough, not long after the old man said this, Shen Jianguo agreed to sign the agreement.
The old man asked Shen Jianmin to find paper and pen, and he read to Shen Jianmin to write.
But what the old man said made Shen Jianguo's face turn blue and purple, it was very exciting.
"Dad, there's no need to be so clear, right?"
The document stated that from now on, the first and second wives would each support an elderly person, and no matter what happened to the elderly people they were supporting, it would have nothing to do with the other. In other words, the second wife would not have to pay for any of Mr. Shen's expenses in the future, but the second wife could not count on the first wife to take care of Wang Lanxiu.
Shen Jintao was also very satisfied when she heard the contents of the document. She also knew why the expressions of the people in the second house were so ugly. After all, for this family of elites, they could not pay a penny to support Mr. Shen, but if something happened to Wang Lanxiu in the future, they would not be able to bear it if the first house did not care about them.
But things have come to this point, no matter how stupid Shen Jianguo is, he knows that his behavior this time has hurt the old man's heart, which is why the old man did such a ruthless thing. Moreover, the old man is no longer the team leader now, and it can be said that he will not be of any help to their family. In the end, they still signed, and the matter was settled.
After the written agreement was signed, Mr. Shen immediately drove them away, "Since there is nothing else to do, you can go back first. Don't come here to look for me if you have nothing to do in the future."
"Dad, we are just supporting you and my mom separately. We are not severing our relationship. You don't have to say such things, right?" Shen Jianguo said that he couldn't accept that he was actually despised by his own father.
"If you didn't want the money in my hand, you wouldn't come to see me. Since I know you have some ulterior motives, I hope you won't bother me in the future. I'm not in good health now and I can't stand being scolded."
Seeing that things had come to this point, Mr. Shen no longer had any thoughts about his second son.
If it weren’t for the eldest brother’s family, he might have really been dead this time.
When people reach this point, they understand a lot. The second son is too selfish. It makes no difference whether this son has it or not.
The people from the second house took Wang Lanxiu away in disgrace. From beginning to end, Wang Lanxiu never cared about her husband's health. Instead, she put forward some conditions from time to time when signing the document, which were undoubtedly beneficial to the second house and herself. Of course, her words were no different from farts to Mr. Shen, and she could not change the old man's decision.
Before leaving, Wang Lanxiu looked at Shen Jianmin deeply and said, "Boss, I knew you were unreliable. I haven't reached the point where I need your support in my old age, but you guys are eager to leave me alone. I can't count on you anymore."
In her opinion, the second brother had no objection to her living with them. Instead, the eldest brother's family was eager to tell everyone that they no longer intended to acknowledge her as their mother.
Sometimes Wang Lanxiu would feel aggrieved. After all, this was the child she had carried for ten months and gave birth to. How could the child not be close to her at all?
Of course, when she felt wronged, she would not think about whether there was something wrong with her. If she really had such awareness, she would not push away Shen Jianmin, her filial son.
After walking out of the courtyard of the main house, Xie Lanzhi came to Wang Lanxiu's side and said, "Mom, do you think my dad has saved some private money? Otherwise, how can my elder brother and his wife be willing to take care of our dad? After all, our dad's health is not so good now, and we don't know how much money will be spent in the future. Is it because my dad didn't give you all his previous salary and saved it himself? Only when my elder brother and his wife knew about it did they want to take care of my dad?"
Wang Lanxiu thought about it and shook her head. "I don't think it's possible. I know how much salary he got when he was the captain. Even if he had some private money, it must have been spent on the medical treatment this time. Don't worry, I was the housekeeper before. If the old man really hid the money, how could I not know it?"
After hearing what Wang Lanxiu said, Shen Jianguo and Xie Lanzhi felt relieved. As long as the old man didn't have much money, it would be fine. Otherwise, they would feel that they had suffered a great loss.
Seeing Mr. Shen sitting on the kang without saying a word, Shen Jintao leaned over and said, "Grandpa, what are you thinking about? Are you sad about your second uncle's matter?"
"without!"
Looking at his increasingly promising granddaughter, Grandpa Shen finally smiled his first sincere smile of the day.
"From now on, Grandpa will live with your parents. I heard from your mother that you are pregnant and will be going back to the army soon. Can you get used to it there? Although I am a man, I also know that there are differences in diet between those places and ours. Otherwise, you can stay at home until the baby is born. There are so many people at home who can take better care of you. If you stay in the army, there will be no one at home when Beichuan is on a mission."
Seeing that the old man's attention was successfully diverted by herself, Shen Jintao quietly breathed a sigh of relief and followed the old man's words, "Don't worry about this, my mother-in-law will go with me. My mother said before that she would live there for a while. With them teaching me, I think I will have no problem. Grandpa, you will soon be able to have four generations living under the same roof. Tsk tsk tsk, there are not many people in our entire Huaxi Brigade who can have such a blessing. And I think, as long as you relax, you will have no problem living another thirty or forty years. Maybe you can even see five generations living under the same roof."
These are the words that the elderly like to hear the most, and Mr. Shen is no exception. No one is not afraid of death, especially after experiencing this, Mr. Shen is really scared. He used to think that death is death, and it is no big deal, but after really going through the gates of hell, he was afraid instead.
Hearing his granddaughter's words, Mr. Shen was so happy that he didn't know what to do. "You are such a smooth talker, girl. If grandpa can really live another 30 or 40 years, he will be 100 years old. What's the difference between him and an old monster? By then, he will really become immortal."
"Nonsense, they say that an old man in the family is like a treasure, and our family needs you to take care of it. Who knows, after you live with us, our family may get better and better. I will buy a house in the city and take you to live there."
No one likes others to paint a rosy picture for them, but what if this pie is really good?
Mr. Shen was in high spirits, and his depressed mood just now was no longer visible.
