Chapter 418 Huo Xi's Distress (Page 1/2)
Speaking of dividing the family, Du Xiaojuan still felt that their family was at a disadvantage. She grumbled, "Junheng, your third brother's family has benefited from the old man, especially your eldest nephew. Why should he be given a courtyard house alone?"
"Xiaojuan, we've already divided the money, why are you doing this again? Fourth brother's family didn't say anything."
"How do you know they didn't tell me? The fourth son's wife not only has a problem with the old man, but also has a big problem with your sister and your brother-in-law. She got married and even came back to her parents' home to divide the family property. Your father is really confused."
"Shut up, your dad is the one who's getting old and confused. My dad treats his children so well, he's given them all his life savings. What else do you expect him to do?"
The ancestral house was given to the eldest nephew because it was registered under the eldest brother's name and he was carrying on the eldest brother's family line."
"Even so, your father's pension for this year, wouldn't it be all spent on Huo Qingci's two sons?
Your father not only likes Huo Qingci, but also his two sons, especially the little fat boy Huo Yining.
Your dad treats him like his sweetheart, and there's always a supply of snacks, fruits, and toys at home. You know how much they benefit from living with your dad.
It's really true that people are never satisfied. The old father is so good to his children, what else can she be dissatisfied with?
Huo Junheng was a little disappointed with his wife. Would she only be happy if his father gave all his savings to their family?
"Xiaojuan, my dad has been very good to us. He divided all his savings equally among the four of us siblings. Other parents would definitely not do that."
Du Xiaojuan raised her eyebrows. "How do you know it's divided equally? Your father loves your eldest nephew so much, it's impossible that he didn't give him a share. Maybe when he distributed the money to us, he already gave your eldest nephew a share."
Du Xiaojuan is not stupid. She knows what kind of person her father-in-law is after spending a long time with him.
Huo Junheng argued, "It's clear at a glance how much savings Dad has in his bankbook. How could he be wrong?"
"It's possible your father received some allowances, but they weren't deposited into that passbook. What if he found another way to save it? Your nephew didn't complain when he didn't get any money, and your third brother didn't say anything either. There must be something wrong."
I have to say that women's intuition is really effective, but even if she knew, she couldn't find any evidence.
Huo Junheng retorted, "You only know how to be suspicious. You are truly greedy."
"Why are you saying that to me? Why am I fighting for the interests of our family? Isn't it just to make Xiaoxi's life better in the future? Your father divided up the family property, so what about his future pension?"
Huo Junheng frowned and asked, "Do you still want Dad to divide his pension? Are you planning to bring Dad back to live with you?"
Du Xiaojuan glared at her husband and said unhappily, "Your father is very kind to your eldest nephew and his family. He would definitely give this year's pension to them. Why should we bring him back to live with us? He has other sons and grandchildren!"
Huo Junheng sighed softly and said comfortingly, "Dad is really good to Qingci, but I believe he won't show favoritism. Besides, we don't need this little money right now."
Du Xiaojuan became even more angry after hearing this. She pointed at Huo Junheng's nose and cursed, "I think you are just a fool. You don't know how to fight for your own interests."
At this time, Huo Xi, who had been sitting silently beside her, began to persuade her: "Mom, don't be angry, let's eat first."
Du Xiaojuan slammed the table fiercely and said angrily, "I can't eat anymore. I'm so angry. You and your son are both so troublesome..."
Huo Xi looked innocent and touched the back of his head awkwardly, thinking: Isn't it just dating? If it doesn't work out, just change it. It's such a simple thing. I don't know what his mother is so angry about.
Du Xiaojuan looked at her heartless son and was furious: "How dare you laugh? You really have no ambition at all! No wonder your grandfather likes Huo Qingci."
Huo Xi quickly suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Mom, the reason why Grandpa likes my eldest cousin is, firstly, because he is excellent, and secondly, because he is my eldest uncle's son.

Mom, you can’t be too greedy. Grandpa can use the remaining money however he wants. We have no right to interfere.
Is Mom planning to visit Grandpa on New Year's Day and start asking him where his pension went this year?"
Huo Junheng stared at Du Xiaojuan and warned her, "Don't be so confused and talk nonsense when you come to pay New Year's greetings to the old man on the first day of the new year.
Dad can spend his pension however he wants. We have no say in that, and you shouldn't get involved either. Do you understand? "
Du Xiaojuan nodded with a depressed look on her face, "I understand, don't say anymore."
Although Du Xiaojuan complained to Huo Junheng like this, it didn't mean that she was really stupid. She naturally didn't dare to ask her father-in-law where the money went.
She just wanted to complain to her husband, hoping that they would stop mentioning how great her father-in-law was and how good he was to them in front of her.
Of course, if her son was more diligent and often went to his father-in-law to please him, maybe when he got married in the future, his father-in-law would definitely give his son a sum of his pension as a betrothal gift.
Du Xiaojuan had such a beautiful idea, and Yang Huiling had the same idea as her, but unfortunately Huo Li knew nothing about it.
If he knew, he would definitely call them ungrateful and take back the money he had distributed, confirm the rumors, and give all the money back to his eldest grandson.
Lin Man spent two days with Huo Qinghuan to prepare kimchi and various pickled vegetables. On the 28th day of the lunar year, Huo Li asked Lao Zhang to send them to the courtyard.
Huo Qingci and his parents did not rush to the Siheyuan until the 29th day of the lunar year, and Song Jingjing also returned to the Siheyuan with her children on the same day.
This year's New Year's dinner was given to Huo Qingci, with Lin Man and Xiao Ya helping out.
Since Song Jingjing was in confinement after giving birth, she naturally didn't have to do anything. When she was too busy, Huo Qinghuan would help her hold little Ping'an.
Huo Yining and Huo Yian were both very sensible. They knew their parents were very busy, so they didn't go anywhere and just sat by the fireplace eating snacks. Huo Li sat beside them and watched them.
It was Song Jingjing's first time to celebrate Chinese New Year at the Huo family's home. She didn't expect the Huo family's New Year's rice to be so sumptuous. They had hot pot at noon, and there were ten main dishes on the New Year's Eve dinner table at night.
It seems that not only my parents-in-law have money, but my eldest brother and sister-in-law also have money.
Even the mother-in-law gave each child twenty yuan as New Year's money, and the grandfather gave each great-grandson twenty yuan. Even Huo Qinghuan, who was so old, still received red envelopes.
Song Jingjing thought that if she had more children, she would be able to receive hundreds of yuan in red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.
Lin Man gave ten yuan to each of her two children and ten yuan to Huo Yichen, but gave Huo Qinghuan two red envelopes, one for her and one for Huo Qingci.
Song Jingjing didn't understand at first why she was so nice to Huo Qinghuan. Later, when she saw that Huo Qinghuan listened to them and was willing to do any work, she immediately understood what was going on.
Song Jingjing tentatively asked Lin Man, "Sister-in-law, does my brother-in-law seem to listen to you?"
Lin Man smiled and said, "Qinghuan is very sensible and capable. He listens to everyone."
"I saw you gave him two red envelopes."
"One was given by me, and the other was given by Qingci. What's the problem? Don't be fooled by his height. He's still a child. As long as he's still in school, this red envelope should be given to him."
Lin Man didn't know whether Song Jingjing gave him a red envelope, but he still wanted to remind her.
Song Jingjing didn't expect that she would have to give red envelopes to her peers, but since her sister-in-law did it, she had to give one too.
However, Huo Qingyan didn't come back, so she definitely wouldn't give Huo Qinghuan two red envelopes. Her sister-in-law had two children, and she only had one. If they gave the red envelopes back and forth, their family would really be at a disadvantage.
And it's a pity that the red envelopes outside are only a few cents, and her son can only receive big red envelopes at his husband's house and his parents' house.
When Huo Qingyan comes back, she must have two more children. More children means more blessings. One child is indeed a little too few.
