The next morning, seeing Yu Qianhe elegantly having breakfast with Liu's mother, he finally couldn't hold back anymore.
Liu Aiguo: "Brother-in-law, I heard you got a lot of houses in this demolition compensation!"
Yu Qianhe: "Big brother knows about this too? It's alright! There are only six sets. It just so happens that Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, and Beibei are all of marriageable age, so they'll have their own wedding home and won't need to buy any more."
"We'll each keep one apartment for An'an and Dangdang, and my wife and I will live in the other one. That way, when the kids get married, they won't live too far apart."
Liu's mother said, "This is good too. As people get older, they like to be around people. Each of them has their own house and they don't live together. This way, they are close to each other and there will be fewer arguments."
Yu Qianhe: "That's what we're thinking too. It will be more convenient for them to take care of the children when Liu Yun and I retire."
Liu's mother: "Indeed, it's really inconvenient for young people these days if they don't have someone to look after their children."
Liu Aiguo: "Give houses to two girls too! Wouldn't that be like hiring a son-in-law? What good men are there who want to be sons-in-law? We can't give them that much."
Wouldn't it be better to give two girls to his son instead?
Yu Qianhe: "Brother, your thinking is wrong. Chairman Mao said that men and women are equal. Daughters and sons are naturally the same. If a son has to prepare a house and a car to get married, then the daughter's family should also provide a dowry. They should also have a house and a car. That's the rule in my family."
Liu Aiguo: "Giving so many things to two young girls will attract unwanted attention. What if they get tricked by men and end up losing both their money and their loved ones?"
Yu Qianhe: "If a daughter can be so easily tricked, then the father is incompetent. He must be unable to give her anything, and have nothing, so she can be tricked away by the smallest thing."
My daughter has always had everything she wanted since she was little. While she may not be an expert in every art form, she's quite good at many things. Her perspective and taste have also been cultivated from a young age. To win their favor in the future, she first needs to be like me.
Liu Jing: "That's right, that's how it should be. But brother-in-law, your standards are a bit too high! How many people like you are there in the world!"
Yu Qianhe: "If I can't find one, I'll just keep raising them. It's not like I can't afford to."
Liu Jing: "That's true. Our pampered little princess isn't going to suffer in someone else's home."
Liu Aiguo: "Only your family would cherish a little girl like this. It would be better to leave her to your son! After all, only your son can take care of you in your old age."
Yu Qianhe was already annoyed by him calling him "little girl" all the time; if his wife were here, she probably would have ripped his mouth off.
Yu Qianhe: "Brother, Beibei and Dangdang are my two precious darlings. It's better not to talk about this little brat. I don't like to hear it. It's a good thing my wife isn't here, otherwise she might have started a fight with you. Even my three sons could fight with you. They can't stand anyone saying anything bad about their sister."
After saying that, he glanced at Liu Aiguo, who immediately cowered.
Yu Qianhe: "As for raising a son to provide for old age, what if my son turns out to be a piece of barbecued pork? Then I would have to raise my son first, and when he grows up, I would have to find him a wife. After that, I would have to take care of his children. If he is a good-for-nothing, I would have to raise his children. Why bother!"
My daughter is different. I don't have to worry about anything. I just need to prepare a generous dowry for her so that she can have a basic guarantee for her future life.
Besides, daughters are much more filial than sons, Mom, you should know that, right?
Hearing this, Liu Jing almost burst out laughing. Isn't this all from the Liu family?
Her parents raised Liu Aiguo and then helped him get married. Liu Aiguo is a nobody; he can't even support his own children. His parents raised him. They raise their son and then their grandson.
If it weren't for the family division, her parents would have had to pay for their grandson's wedding if they had stayed with the fourth son.
Furthermore, her daughter is filial. When her family was struggling, she and her younger sister really only wanted to give her parents some gifts. Her two sons were only thinking about how to squeeze more money out of them.
Liu's mother felt that Yu Qianhe's words had hit her right in the heart. However, it was no wonder that she was unhappy and confronted Liu Aiguo. It was Liu Aiguo's own fault. He knew that his family doted on their daughter, yet he still called her "little girl" and "little girl" all the time, and he still put her down. Wasn't he asking for trouble?
Liu's mother: "Indeed, this daughter is more filial than her son."
Yu Qianhe: "That's right. My mom often says that she gave birth to four sons, but they are not as considerate as my wife."
Actually, it doesn't matter whether you have a boy or a girl. The key is to raise them well. As for the idea of raising children to provide for you in old age, that's something only people who lack the ability to do so say.
I think the current family planning policy is quite good. It promotes eugenics and good upbringing. If you're going to have a child, you should prepare the basic conditions for their survival. If you can't even provide the basic conditions for survival, it's better not to have a child at all. Don't let the child suffer in this world.
Also, having and raising children isn't about putting pressure on them, but about bringing them happiness and showing them the world. We have jobs, savings, and retirement pensions; why would we need them to support us in our old age? Mom, don't you think so?"
Liu's mother felt as if she had been stabbed in the chest again. She was hoping that her son would take care of her in her old age! But she also knew that these words were directed at her eldest son.
Liu's mother: "Indeed, indeed."
Liu Jing: "My brother-in-law has such high moral character; we should all learn from you. I used to think I was doing a good enough job for my three boys, but compared to you, I'm still far behind."
Yu Qianhe: "Second Sister has already done a good job, and Xiao Shizi and the others are not bad either!"
Liu Jing: "But it's still far behind your family of five."
