Chapter 163: I Didn’t Mean to Hide It at All
Uncle Chu: "Shi Luo, I just heard you say that the place you went to in the countryside has greenhouses for growing vegetables in the winter and the villagers can share the money. Are the conditions in that brigade really good? The kid you always play with in the office next to us is from that brigade, right? How big is the house he moved into this time?"
Shi Luo really didn't want to hide the fact that Jiang Hao had moved to a larger house. After all, once the house was delivered, everyone would know it.
"Yes, the conditions in the Red Star Brigade are pretty good. At least they're better than those in other brigades. Jiang Hao chose the largest apartment this time, thinking that his parents would have a place to live when they come over."
"Although the conditions in their brigade are pretty good, the villagers mainly rely on work points to make a living. Even if they can get some money from winter vegetables every year, after deducting the necessary expenses, it is impossible for the family to save so much money.
Besides, the job he changed a while ago cost him quite a bit. Even if his parents ignored their other children and focused on supporting him, and added on to the salary he had earned in just over two months, it would probably only be enough to buy the smallest house at most."
Sister Zhou smacked her lips and continued,
"Tsk tsk tsk, he's moved to a bigger house, which must cost at least two thousand dollars. This time, Mr. Jiang must have given him a lot of money. After that, it will cost a lot to renovate the house and buy furniture. If his money is not enough, Mr. Jiang can't just sit there and watch.
By the way, Jiang Hao is from the second son of Mr. Jiang, right? If the eldest son of the Jiang family knew that Mr. Jiang gave money to Jiang Hao, he would definitely make a scene.
After hearing this, Shi Luo cracked the walnut in his hand and said slowly,
"Jiang Hao's family is not like the typical rural families you think of.
Jiang Hao has four older brothers and one older sister. They are all married. His sister married a working-class family in the city. Each of his brothers has at least one regular worker in their family. The others who are unemployed also earn work points in the brigade.
Moreover, Jiang Hao's family split up a long time ago, and when they split up, they gave him everything that belonged to him, and also gave him the money he would use for his marriage in advance.
Of course, the money he got was definitely not enough for changing houses and jobs, so his parents would definitely give him some money for this house change.
But there is definitely no such thing as his parents using other children's things to support him.
As for whether his brothers and sisters can contribute to his house purchase, it is definitely voluntary. His brothers and sisters are all good people and have lent him some money. The bulk of the money was borrowed from his eldest brother.
His elder brother had saved some money during his years in the army, and since the family had less financial burden, he lent him some more.
As for Mr. Jiang, he gave Jiang Hao 400 yuan this time. Of course, the old man also said that if Uncle Jiang also changed his house, he would also give him 400 yuan.
I don't need to change my house. My grandfather has already bought me a watch, a radio, and a bicycle. I basically have everything I need. As for the sewing machine, I don't know how to use it, so there's no need to buy a big item. Plus, I won't be getting married in the next few years, so I don't have much money to spend. I lent him some of my savings.
By scraping together this and borrowing from friends, he has enough money to buy a new house. Once he buys the house, he can buy some cheap second-hand furniture or hire a carpenter in the nearby countryside to make some. It won't cost much."
Shi Luo said this half-truthfully, then put the peeled walnut kernel in his hand into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Sister Zhou blinked her eyes, which had just widened. "Oh, Mr. Jiang's family added 400 yuan. If we add a little more, it's enough to buy a 30-square-meter house.
Jiang Hao's family conditions are really good, better than many working-class families in the city.
Oh, that's because he's too picky and not in good health.
If everything is good, no matter who it is, marrying Jiang Hao would be a blessing.
Look, they have a car and a house, and they can get a salary every month. Even if they need to pay back the money in the future, the couple can both earn money and pay it back slowly, so the pressure is not too big.
After separating from my parents, there will definitely be no more conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It would be great if the young couple could focus on their own family. Oh, how could such a good boy have such a big flaw? It's such a pity."
Liang Song scratched his head, "Why is the family divided? From what Sister Zhou said, he hasn't gotten married yet. Many families don't divide up after getting married.
I just can't bear to separate from my mother, not to mention separating the family, even living separately is not acceptable.
Luckily, my mother said that I was her only son and she would never separate from me. She would live with me even if I got married.
Shi Luo felt a little sorry for Liang Song's future daughter-in-law after hearing this. It would be really hard to make a living under the control of a mama's boy and a controlling mother-in-law.
"Ah, the main reason for the separation is that the Jiang family's children feel sorry for their parents and don't want them to worry about their parents every day at such an old age.
Jiang Hao will be away from home for a long time due to work in Beijing, so the children and the elders decided to split up the family.
It is good that the family has been divided. The younger generation can understand how difficult it was for the elders to manage the family. They will not take it for granted that the elders take care of them, nor will they feel that the elders are partial to them.
The elderly do not have to work hard to support their children, nor do they have to worry about the trivial matters of the younger generation.
In addition, the elderly can receive filial piety money from their children every month and during festivals.
I have plenty of money and can buy whatever I want, as much as I want. Without stress, I feel better.
Uncle Chu nodded sympathetically, "It's better to separate the family sooner rather than later. A large family living together will always end up fighting over trivial matters.
If there are too many fights over big and small things, it will be unpredictable. If they really have to tear each other apart and then divide the family, it will be no different from breaking off the relationship.
The family split up early, so the relationship between the brothers and sisters can be better, and they can help each other when they encounter difficulties in the future. Jiang Hao's parents are also looking at the long term."
