Su Aimin looked at his eldest brother. When he heard what he said, his tone was a little cold. "Brother, I don't care what you think, and you don't need to give me all kinds of other reasons. You just need to answer me one question. Is it better for Dad and Mom to live here or in the capital?"
Su Aiguo remained silent. Of course he knew that his parents would live a better life with the third son's family, but... he was the eldest son.
Li Xiulian came back to her senses from her daze and quickly apologized to Su Aimin, "I'm sorry, Third Brother, you know your eldest brother doesn't mean to blame you, he's just too anxious, you said this matter..."
She didn't know what to say. In this village, which family's parents didn't live with their eldest son? When the third son's family suddenly said this, she didn't know what to do.
Zhang Xinlan and Su Ai's party were completely bewildered. Why were the eldest and third wives arguing with each other? If they were arguing, would their second wife's affairs still be affected? What would they say?
The couple looked at each other, neither of them having any idea.
Su Congjun looked around, thought for a moment and said, "I think this matter still depends on the grandparents' own opinions. If they are willing to go, then they can go. If they are not willing to go, then it doesn't matter."
"Joining the army is right." Wen Sisi nodded, "Let grandpa and grandma choose for themselves."
"Dad, don't you agree?" Su Congjun asked Su Aiguo.
Su Aiguo nodded silently.
Seeing everyone's eyes looking over, Wu Guixiang said in a deep voice, "The Third Brother and the others mentioned this matter a long time ago, but your father and I never agreed."
Su Dalin glanced at his wife without saying a word. It was obvious that she was the one who disagreed, but he had no objection.
"Third brother, even though your eldest brother's words were a bit harsh just now, it's true." Wu Guixiang said to Su Aimin seriously, "Looking around this area, there's no such thing as parents living with their youngest son. I think we should just forget about it."
In the past, she was always worried and wanted to stay with Yunyun all the time, but now Yunyun is busy with work and is away from home for a long time, so there is no need for the old couple to live so far away, and she really can't leave this family.
"Mom, isn't it the same no matter which son I live with?" Su Aimin didn't understand. Is this tradition so important? It's not something that goes against our ancestors.
"It's different." Wu Guixiang insisted.
"Grandma, I have something to say." Su Congwu suddenly looked at her grandmother, "Have you thought about something?"
"What?"
Su Congwu looked at his uncle's family and said, "My eldest brother is working as a worker in the city now. He will definitely not come back to the village. In the future, he and his sister-in-law will definitely bring my uncle and aunt to live in the city."
"My eldest uncle and aunt only have my eldest brother as their child, and my eldest sister-in-law only has her as a daughter. In the future, not to mention their own children, they will have to take care of four elderly people from two families. If you and grandpa are added to the list, then..."
Su Congwu didn't finish his words, but everyone understood his meaning.
Su Congjun and Wen Sisi are both only children. When their parents get older, the pressure will be on them, and they will also have to take care of the children. If Wu Guixiang and Su Dalin are added, the burden can be imagined.
Wu Guixiang was stunned. She had never thought about this question before.
Yes, if she and her husband follow the eldest brother’s family, how will they live with Sisi in the future when they go to the army?
She always thought that she was in good health and could still move around, but she never thought that in a few years, if she became old and unable to move, she would become a burden to others.
In fact, what Su Congwu said was what Su Qingyun wanted to say, but her grandparents must have felt uncomfortable hearing it, so they didn't say anything. Unexpectedly, her third brother directly pointed out the reality.
Su Aiguo and Li Xiulian were also stunned. If that was the case...
"Congwu, what are you talking about?" Su Congjun glared at his brother, "Sisi and I can take care of her."
"Brother, some things can't just be said." Su Congwu smiled and said, "Actually, grandpa and grandma can live with us. Shuhui and I are both working, and she has older sisters and brothers at home, so we don't need to worry too much. I also have my brother here, so it's the perfect match."
"Yes, yes, grandpa and grandma will live with us." Wu Shuhui nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Live with the second wife?
The idea startled everyone again, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be okay.
Su Aidang nodded, expressing his attitude. "I think Congwu's idea is very good. Dad and Mom, you will live with our second branch. Xinlan and I will definitely take good care of you."
If the eldest brother's family fails, the second branch will definitely have to take over. If they bypass them and go to the third branch's family, then wouldn't Su Ai's party become a joke?
"Right, Xinlan?" He looked at Zhang Xinlan.
Zhang Xinlan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
If they were still living the same life as before, she would definitely not agree, but now life is getting better and better, even if she has to support her parents, she has no objection. Zhang Xinlan has to admit that it was her parents-in-law who supported the family in the past few years, so it is her duty to be filial to them.
Moreover, she had the same idea as Su Aidang. If her parents went to the third brother's house, wouldn't it make them seem useless?
Everyone looked around and Wu Guixiang had a headache. This was originally a dispute between the eldest family and the third family, but why did the second family join in now?
Su Aimin looked at Su Aidang and Zhang Xinlan, "Second brother and sister-in-law, won't you follow Congwu into the city in the future?"
"Also, when Congwen comes back, he's an officer and won't stay in our village. He will definitely take you away. Will your parents go with him then?"
"No." Wu Guixiang directly rejected it. If she followed Congwen and the others, what would be the difference between that and following the third brother's family?
"Anyway, our family will basically not stay in the village in the future, so why bother about whether it's customary or not? It's all our own choice."
Zhang Xinlan listened to Su Aimin's words and fell into deep thought. If Congwen came back...
She and Su Aiguo looked at each other and said nothing.
The family argued back and forth for a long time but there was no result.
Su Qingyun spoke again, "Grandma, so you should think about it carefully. It's best for you to live with us."
"I'm busy with work now and often not at home. Only my parents are around. If you and I go to the capital, you can take care of each other."
Wu Guixiang's expression relaxed.
Su Qingyun was delighted when he saw this and continued, "If I had a holiday to go home, I would be able to see you the first time. This time, I was able to come back because I had more holidays. If I don't have much time in the future, how can I come back to see you and me? I'm not Monkey King, who can jump far away."
Wu Guixiang's expression became even more hesitant.
"Grandma, just agree to it." Su Qingyun hugged her arm and acted coquettishly, "Just agree to it, just agree to it."
"Okay, kid, now that we've talked about this," Su Dalin finally said, "Let's go."
Wu Guixiang was silent for a long time, and finally nodded, "Okay, let's go to the capital!"
"That's great!" Su Qingyun cheered.
Su Aimin and Qin Ying also breathed a sigh of relief.
