Chapter 414
"Dad, we are all your descendants. You can't give all the money to the second brother."
"Dad, why are you and grandpa talking so much nonsense? Just ask grandpa to hand over the money."
“…”
Tang Wan carefully observed the group of people and found that the two middle-aged men looked somewhat similar to Old Master Xu.
They were flanked by their wives, and followed by their sons and daughters.
A group of people came to ask the old man for money.
These are probably Mr. Xu’s other children.
Tang Wan curled her lips, looking down on these people who only cared about money and not people.
However, Mr. Xu sat up straight and calmly, and he looked at his children with a somewhat cold look.
"I'm not dead yet, why are you all in such a hurry?
"My second son asked you to come and look after me, but you were all very busy, weren't you? Why are you not busy now?"
Mr. Xu spoke sharply and looked at Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing apologetically.
Looks like we're going to disturb them again.
Xu Dagang's expression changed, "Dad, what are you talking about, you are my dad.
If you are sick, no matter how busy I am, as your son, I will bring my wife and children to see you."
"Yes, yes, Dad, I'm really worried about you. Your grandson's wife just gave birth to a baby, so we can't move."
Xu Dagang's daughter-in-law deliberately mentioned her granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson, meaning that she wanted Xu's son to express his opinion.
Master Xu seemed not to understand. He snorted coldly. Xu Sangang quickly interrupted and said:
"Dad, don't listen to what my elder brother and his wife say. It's just one child, so why should the whole family revolve around him?
I'm different. My younger child is still in school and I really can't leave, but Dad, you're sick.
I am here with my wife, so let us serve you."
Speaking of money, the two brothers were like dogs smelling meat, staring at Old Man Xu with their green eyes.
Tang Wan found it very ironic.
She thought Mr. Xu was going to chase her away, but unexpectedly, Mr. Xu suddenly smiled and took out the money he had promised to give to Xiao Wang.
"Xiao Wang, my son and daughter-in-law are filial and should come and show filial respect to me in person.
I won’t bother you anymore from now on. This is the settlement for you, in case my son and daughter-in-law ignore me someday.
I'll come back to you and the salary will be the same as before."
"Okay, thank you, grandpa."
Xiao Wang left with five yuan. When his two daughters-in-law saw how generous Mr. Xu was, their eyes immediately lit up.
"Dad, didn't you like the food I cooked the most? I will bring you meals every day from now on."
"I'll send you off too, Dad. Why don't you live with us after you're discharged from the hospital? Our house is more spacious."
"Dad, it's inconvenient for my wife to take care of you, so I'll stay with you at night so I can serve you."
"Brother is not considerate. I have a daughter-in-law to take care of at home. Dad, let me take care of you."
“…”
The four of them started arguing, wishing they could all please Grandpa Xu. Grandpa Xu's trick was really clever.
Tang Wan couldn't help but admire Mr. Xu.
He really has a firm grasp on people's hearts now.
Sure enough, Mr. Xu looked indifferent and he sighed lightly.
"I originally saved this money to help my grandchildren get married.
I was sick when Dayang got married, and you didn't invite me, so I didn't give you any money.
Later I thought, you guys are so capable, you probably don’t need this money, so I’ll keep it for myself.”
"No, Dad, we need it."
Xu Dagang's wife burst into tears and said, "It's not that I don't want to invite you, it's just that I'm too busy.
I was also thinking about how you were sick and how hard you worked. Dad, we just had a new addition to our family and it cost us a lot of money.
We are short of money right now. When will you give Dayang the money?"
Seeing her eyes glowing green, Xu Dagang even cooperated and scolded her with a smile.
"Why are you so anxious? My father loves me the most, so he will definitely give me a lot of money."
"Dad, my two little ones are not married yet, but they both need to go to school, and we don't have enough money."
Xu Sangang's wife was afraid that Grandpa Xu would be partial to her child, so she kept pushing her child in front of Grandpa Xu.
They were two teenagers, and their nonchalant expressions changed.
She stood very obediently at the head of Grandpa Xu's bed, calling him "Grandpa" in a very affectionate manner.
Tang Wan guessed that Mr. Xu might have another trick up his sleeve.
How can it be so easy to give them money?
As expected, Master Xu smiled and said, "The second brother went to look for you guys before, but you didn't come.
My heart is hurt, and now I dare not trust you easily.
Let me put it this way, whoever of you is filial and obedient will be given this little money from now on."
Mr. Xu gave them a chance to perform, and upon hearing the news, many people rushed to stay and take care of him.
Mr. Xu was not annoyed, he just smiled and said, "You guys arrange your own shifts.
Take turns to look after me. If anyone doesn't take good care of me, there's no need to come. I have so many children anyway.
At worst, we still have Xiao Wang, who is very careful in his work. "
"Dad, outsiders are not as careful as our family."
Xu Dagang's wife hurriedly picked up the broom and started sweeping the floor. She even swept Tang Wan's side thoroughly.
Xu Sangang's wife was no less quick. She also quickly picked up Old Man Xu's dirty clothes and went to the bathroom to wash them.
The two sons were pouring water and peeling apples respectively, they were so enthusiastic.
Even the grandchildren stood obediently by his side, reciting books to Grandpa Xu and telling him stories to amuse him.
At first glance, it seems like she has a very warm and loving side.
But after Tang Wan knew why they did that, she felt helpless despite her amusement.
Half an hour later, they finally cleaned the ward and Mr. Xu started to drive people away.
"Okay, go and arrange your shifts and go back and get some clothes to change into."
"Okay, Dad, just stay in the hospital and we will definitely take good care of you."
"Sister-in-law, you still have to take care of your daughter-in-law and grandson, so don't join in the fun."
“…”
The group of people who shared a common hatred of the enemy when they came were quickly disintegrated by Master Xu when they returned.
They are arguing over who is coming.
They all left, and the noise in the ward was not so loud anymore. Mr. Xu said to Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing apologetically:
"I'm sorry to bother you again."
"It's okay."
Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing looked at each other, and finally Tang Wan couldn't help but remind him.
"My dear, they are treating you like this now because of your money."
"I know."
Mr. Xu laughed and said, "Don't worry about your laughing at me, I don't have much money.
But I went to the credit union on purpose, and they probably thought I had a lot of money.
Now they are coaxing me, wait till I die, and let them fight each other!"
"But old man."
Tang Wan gently reminded, "Your method is good, but I'm afraid that the brothers will reach a consensus.
When you die, they, as your children, will all be able to share in your property."
