Chapter 368 Elderly Care Issues
The two old people lived with their youngest son and his family.
Liu Yinyin was even more shocked when she heard this. Whenever the topic of splitting up the family was mentioned before, Jiang Cuihua was definitely the first one to disagree.
now......
Liu Yinyin didn't understand: "Mom, if my second brother and his family go to settle on the island, they won't be able to come back often in the future."
Perhaps, I may not be able to come back once in a whole year.
This is the case this year. If Gu Cheng is not available, his family may not come back.
"Your father and I are both old people, and we have come to terms with it now." Jiang Cuihua sighed and said, "Originally, we only separated your eldest brother's family. Although your second and third sisters-in-law didn't say it, they must have had some thoughts in their hearts."
In the past few months, the two families have often quarreled because of Mrs. Liu's affairs.
Jiang Cuihua and Liu Laifu thought about it for several months and decided to divide the family.
Otherwise, after a while, the two daughters-in-law will probably complain that the two old people are biased.
Jiang Cuihua said this because she had really let it go: "As for your second brother's family... as long as they are doing well, it doesn't matter whether they are at home or not. Besides, it's only two days' train ride away, which is not too far. It's not like we will never see each other again."
That's true. When transportation technology develops in the future, traveling between the two places will be more convenient.
Liu Yinyin nodded. She definitely agreed with the division of the Liu family.
It just so happens that Second Brother Liu has also returned to celebrate the New Year, and the family can sit together to discuss the division of the property.
It was quite simple for Second Brother Liu and Third Brother Liu to separate.
The key lies in whether Brother Liu and his family can settle down on the island.
They didn't have any acquaintances there, so they could only ask Cheng for help.
Gu Cheng just went out.
Liu Yinyin said, "I'll ask Gu Cheng when he comes back."
If Brother Liu and his family want to settle on the island, there shouldn't be any problem since they all have rural household registration.
Moreover, Brother Liu has his own job and will not take up resources there. He just needs a piece of land to build a house.
Jiang Cuihua said, "If it works out, then the house will be left to Mingyuan's family and the two of us old people. Your second brother's place..."
"We only gave them some money to help them build a house, but nothing else. It's hard to divide up the scattered things in the house."
It is also not convenient to bring it to the island.
After the family business was divided, Jiang Cuihua no longer wanted Liu Erge's salary. She just wanted the sons to give the two old people some pension every year.
It's the same with Brother Liu.
Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Mom, why do you suddenly feel so happy?"
Jiang Cuihua glared at her and said, "Your father and I are old, and now we just want to live a quiet life."
If Brother Liu and the others are willing to separate, whether they live well in the future is their own business.
She and Liu Lai Fu were too lazy to worry about it.
Jiang Cuihua came over today and gave Liu Yinyin a basket of persimmons, about ten kilograms.
Liu Yinyin likes to eat persimmons, and she likes to eat dried persimmons even more.
Gu Yanyan also likes to eat it.
There are many kinds of fruits on the island, but persimmons are rare.
After Jiang Cuihua left, Liu Yinyin smuggled another ten kilograms of persimmons out of the system.
She left a few pounds to eat fresh, and Liu Yinyin peeled the rest of the persimmons and dried them into dried persimmons.
In the evening, Liu Yinyin made braised pork, scrambled eggs with black fungus, and seaweed egg drop soup.
The staple food is a mixed-flour steamed bun.
While eating, Liu Yinyin told Gu Cheng that Second Brother Liu and his family wanted to settle on the island.
"Mother said it's not good for my second brother and his wife to live separately. My second sister-in-law also wants to live on the island."
Mrs. Liu definitely wanted to divide the family property, but as a daughter-in-law, she was too embarrassed to speak up.
Gu Cheng said: "It is not difficult to settle down on the island. You just need to go back to the village and get a certificate. There will be no major problems on the island."
Since they all have rural household registration, it is not difficult to relocate.
Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "It's fine as long as it can be done."
Since Gu Cheng said so, he must be sure.
Gu Cheng looked at her happy expression and asked thoughtfully, "Do you want your second sister-in-law to live on the island?"
Liu Yinyin shook her head: "Whether my second sister-in-law goes to the island or not is not a big deal to me. As long as my second brother and sister-in-law are happy, that's all."
Gu Cheng heaved a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, this will definitely be done."
Liu Yinyin naturally believed him: "I will talk to my mother tomorrow and ask them to get a certificate in the village in advance."
I just wonder if Mrs. Liu will go back to the island with them...
The families of the second and third brothers Liu get along well.
Anyway, after knowing that Jiang Cuihua planned to separate them, Liu Ersao and Huang Xiaoyue were very happy.
As for the things in the house, apart from food, there is nothing valuable.
Jiang Cuihua promised Liu Ersao that she would give them money to build two houses.
The food supplies for Mrs. Liu and her two children will also be sent back to them when the time comes.
Huang Xiaoyue didn't have any objections. She had her mother's family to help her, and her life was already good.
What's more, we were allocated an old house. It would be better for the family to separate than to live together as we do now.
Mrs. Liu and Huang Xiaoyue both agreed to split up the family, although the second and third brothers Liu were somewhat reluctant in their hearts...
However, since we all have our own families, we cannot help but make plans for them.
Therefore, they did not say anything about the division of the family property and remained silent about it.
Seeing this, Jiang Cuihua couldn't help feeling jealous, as these were children she had raised with great difficulty.
Now that I have married and had children, I am only thinking about my own little family...
After adjusting her mood, Jiang Cuihua continued, "Your father and I are still able to work and earn our own living."
"We two old people don't want to be a burden to you. We just need to give you some gifts during festivals."
"In the future...when we are old and can no longer work, we will have to rely on you for support. You three brothers should give us 100 kilograms of food and 15 yuan each per year."
The old couple had three hundred kilograms of food and forty-five yuan a year, which was almost enough for their daily needs.
Having many brothers also has its advantages. If you only have one son, the burden of supporting him in your old age will be heavy.
The Liu brothers are all filial.
Brother Liu was silent for a moment and said, "Mom and Dad, fifteen yuan a year is too little. You should give me at least thirty yuan a year."
Thirty yuan is almost his monthly salary, so it’s not impossible for him to give it.
It is not easy for their parents to raise them. No matter what, they cannot be left without support when they are old.
Just like Gu Cheng, even though his relationship with the Gu family is not very good.
But we can't just ignore the life and death of our parents.
Insist on giving them twenty yuan in living expenses every month.
If he ignores his biological parents, it will definitely have an impact on Gu Cheng's future, among other things.
There is no way. Since ancient times, supporting the elderly has been the obligation of children.
When Mrs. Liu heard him say that he would give her thirty yuan a year, she had some objections.
