Chapter 330: What is it that you don’t let your brother-in-law tell you?
After Jian Ziyue was no longer angry, Jian Ziyu suddenly asked:
"So, sister, what exactly is it that you don't want your brother-in-law to talk about?"
Jian Ziyue, who had been very happy just now because Jian Ziyu talked about the project, suddenly froze in his smile.
She was a little helpless!
Even more powerless!
Even though she thought she had hidden it well, she still couldn't escape her brother's eyes.
"Sister, we are siblings and family!" Jian Ziyu said seriously:
"The meaning of family members' existence is to help each other, not to hide from each other."
Jian Ziyue sighed helplessly.
She also knew that given Jian Ziyu's personality, this matter could not be concealed.
So she simply said:
“This actually has nothing to do with us.”
"It's just that your brother-in-law's fields and houses are all in his hometown."
"Over the years, his uncles and aunts have taken care of their house and fields."
"It turns out that before we got married, your brother-in-law and his family planned to return to their hometown to build a house once they had saved enough money."
"It just so happens that their family finally saved some money after your brother-in-law graduated."
Jian Ziyu actually knew some of the things that happened later.
Because Jian Ziyue was born in the city, went to school in the city, and worked in the city.
After they fell in love, they decided to settle down in the city.
It turned out that the young couple was not prepared to ask both sets of parents to help with this matter.
They all have formal jobs and receive a monthly salary, even though they don't have much money nowadays.
But as long as they work hard to save money, they will be able to afford their own house sooner or later.
But at that time, their family had not yet returned to their hometown to build a house.
After much deliberation, the old couple decided to buy a house in the city.
After all, over the years, they have become accustomed to life in the city for the sake of their son.
The old houses in my hometown are almost uninhabitable, and the fields have not been used for farming for many years and have been given to other people for farming.
Compared with the money that can be earned in the city, the difference seems to be too big.
After making this decision, the family quickly found a house suitable for the young couple.
The couple didn't care and they worked together in the shoe factory.
You can live in a couple's dormitory with or without your son and daughter-in-law.
But they only have one son.
After the couple followed the youngest son into the city, the relationship between the three daughters became strained when they failed to bring them in together despite several attempts to bring them in.
So after the young couple discussed it and after many invitations, the whole family simply moved into the new home.
The son is filial and the daughter-in-law is sensible.
It makes the couple's life particularly comfortable.
So much so that they even forgot the promise they had made to their brothers to build a house above the old one in their hometown.
To be honest, the house they have in their hometown is also an old house.
At first, the brothers got married one after another, but the previous generation’s ability was really limited.
Apart from being able to clear out a room in the house to serve as their new home, everything else was difficult to support.
Later, with the reform and opening up, the village began to divide land and residential plots.
The brothers simply divided up the property and applied for residential land again.
Among his brothers, he was the only one who had lived in his hometown the least, so naturally he inherited the family's old house.
Nowadays, the old father in the family is still living in it!
Originally, their family had always talked about saving money to build a house when they returned home.
Not only the old man was happy, but his brothers were also relieved.
But once I bought this new house...
Not only did they spend all their own money, but they also owed foreign debts.
For the time being, there is naturally no chance of renovating the dilapidated house in my hometown.
Because of this incident, when Jian Ziyue returned to her hometown for the first time after getting married, the atmosphere was not very harmonious.
Jian Ziyue, who had just gotten married, did not hide these things from her parents.
Now that Jian Ziyue mentioned this matter again, Jian Ziyu had already expected it.
Sure enough, Jian Ziyue continued:
"After all the family money was used to buy a house and it wasn't enough, my uncles and aunts were already very dissatisfied."
"In order to pay off the two houses over the years, your brother-in-law and his family have sent less money back to their hometown."
"Now every time they go back, they always find an opportunity to bring up these things."
"It was last night when they brought up the grain tax and the orchard again."
"After we left home, our uncles and aunts also used the fields in our family to grow plums."
"In the past, they used the money from selling plums to pay grain taxes."
"It's not that the price of plums is bad this year, but I don't know if anyone will buy the plums that ripen later."
"They went around asking your brother-in-law for money."
"So they are asking for money directly instead of asking about sales?" Jian Ziyu asked puzzledly.
As a city kid, he had no idea how much the grain tax was exactly.
But I think this money shouldn't be a lot.
Jian Ziyue shook his head slightly on the phone before saying:
"How can it be that simple?"
"If it was just a grain tax, your brother-in-law wouldn't be bothered!"
"They just said that Liziyuan couldn't sell at a high price and couldn't sell out."
"What you want is not only the grain tax, but also the cost of taking care of the orchard!"
“The cost of taking care of the elderly, and the cost of replacing the orchard!”
"Even the time they waste can be counted!"
"Anyway, we haven't seen a dime from the orchard except for eating some fruit every time we come back."
"Now they act like we own the orchard."
"Change the orchard?" Jian Ziyu frowned and asked in confusion.
"The plums can't be sold at a high price, so they want to follow the other people in the village, cut down the plum trees, and plant melons instead." Jian Ziyue sighed.
She didn't understand farming matters, and didn't know whether these suggestions from her uncles were reasonable or not.
But her husband's family didn't want her to worry about it.
All she knew were these superficial things.
Of course, Jian Ziyue knew it too. His in-laws probably didn't want her to see those ugly things happening among their relatives.
After all, although she was a new bride, she had never lived on this land.
Sometimes it is inevitable to look at things too rationally.
This is not a bad thing.
But for those who do not have the courage to completely abandon this place, it is not necessarily a good thing.
“It’s not that the plums can’t be sold at a high price!” Jian Ziyu had never paid special attention to the price of Sanhua plums before.
But after sending An Songyu back today, he still went to see it on purpose.
In general, the price of plums in the city is more than ten times the purchase price in the countryside.
Jian Ziyue also knew this truth.
But she said helplessly:
"Doesn't that mean Licun has no channels?"
“Even if they know that fruit vendors are suppressing prices, what can they do?”
If we don't sell them, can we really let those plums that are almost ripe on the trees rot in the fields?
Just as he was thinking about it, Jian Ziyue suddenly reacted.
She frowned slightly and emphasized again seriously:
"Ayu, this matter may be a stretch, but in the end our family will just lose some money."
"You really don't need to worry about it!"
