As soon as these words came out, the three sisters felt that it was too direct and quickly looked at Meimei.
Ever since the canal was dug in the county and a large number of families became rich by demolishing their houses, houses in every part of the county are in great demand. It is no longer the era when one could buy a house for just over a thousand yuan.
It can be bought for 1,800 yuan now, but it depends on whether the seller is in a hurry to sell it. If someone bids 2,000 yuan, it can still be sold.
Since Chen Wei has already been allocated a house by the methane plant, everyone more or less thinks that Chen's father will leave the house in the coal plant's staff compound to Chen Liang.
All the elderly are like this, they like to help the weaker child, which is what we call favoritism towards the younger one.
If it was their old father who left a will while on his deathbed, Chen Wei and Xiang Meimei would have to accept it even if they were unwilling.
After all, when the elderly are handling their own assets, even if they are a little biased, their children can only obey them.
But talking about dividing the house so bluntly like now will hurt the relationship between brothers.
Chen Wei's expression was relatively normal. He pursed his lips and said calmly, "I'll take your advice. My brother hasn't started a family yet, so it's normal for you to be worried."
He said this as if it was easy for him to rack his brains to draw a picture in the research laboratory of the methane plant.
Despite Chen Wei's high position and high salary, his mind is always thinking about how to contribute to the factory. No matter where he goes, he always carries a pen and a notebook with him, which are filled with records of all his ideas.
There is almost no personal rest time. When I open my eyes, all I see are the various structures of lighters.
Hearing his father's words favoring Chen Liang, he felt very uncomfortable. Although his family had assets, he still felt unhappy.
Father Chen ignored his son's words. He just looked at Xiang Meimei quietly, waiting for her to express her opinion.
She was definitely a little angry, and looked back at Dad Chen frankly:
"It would be a lie to say I don't mind, Dad. You certainly wouldn't believe me. I'm being frank. This house is your asset and you have the right to dispose of it. I'm the younger generation and shouldn't interfere. It's our responsibility to provide for your retirement and we won't shirk it."
When she married into the family, Zhang Jidi even fought for Chen's parents' jobs for her, and the scene was very ugly.
Xiang Meimei, who was in love when she was young, felt that this was too blatant. There was no virtue of humility between family members at all, only a pure conflict of interests.
Once you become truly in charge of your own household, you will find that it is very difficult to earn every penny, and there are too many places to spend money.
Xiang Meimei definitely wanted to leave more real estate to her children, but since Father Chen had already said so, there was no point in her nagging.
Chen Liang was given Chen's father's job. After Chen's mother passed away, Chen Liang's wife Qiao Xin made a scene in the mourning hall. Finally, his uncle took action and the job was returned to Chen Wei.
The couple has jobs, and each of their two sons gets one house, which was originally fair, but it becomes a different story when the house is added.
The difference is directly eighteen thousand. Even though Chen Wei has a high salary, he cannot ignore this asset.
Based on his current monthly salary of 80 yuan, he would have to work diligently for two years without eating or drinking. If living expenses are included, it would take at least five years to save enough.
With just one sentence, his father gave Chen Liang a house, which was equivalent to five years of hard work. Which son could be happy about this?
After hearing what Xiang Meimei said, everyone was thoughtful.
I shouldn't interfere but I care and I won't shirk my responsibility for providing for the elderly. However, how to provide for the elderly is a science.
Eating plain porridge a day as long as you are not starving to death is also nourishing, and eating vegetables, eggs and meat three times a day is also nourishing. The difference is huge.
If the elderly are immoral, don’t blame the younger generation for being disunited.
If your parents gave you a job but gave another brother a job and a house, the gap in their hearts would be too big and it would be impossible for them to live peacefully in their old age.
Favoring the younger one just because the older one is so successful will only deepen the rift between brothers and will not equalize the gap between the rich and the poor between them.
It's fine when the old man is alive, but once he dies, the two brothers will easily become enemies.
Father Chen understood what his eldest daughter-in-law meant, and his already hunched back deepened. "Dad didn't mean anything else. Xiaoliang is..."
The eldest son has a wife and a house, lives a happy life, and has both sons and daughters. He is a winner in life in every way.
Where is the youngest son?
He had a wife who divorced him and is now alone. His child died early. In comparison, Chen Liang's life seems to be more difficult.
As a father, he certainly hopes that each of his sons can live a good life. If he has two houses, he will definitely give one to each son without hesitation.
The problem is that he can't afford so many belongings. He only has the house he lives in now. Chen's father thought about it for a long time before deciding to give the house to Chen Liang.
Xiang Meimei moved at this time, and stepped forward to help him sit down: "Don't worry, Xiaoliang is Chen Wei's brother, he can understand your difficulties, and we can accept giving him this house."
