Cheng Shu understood the meaning of five yuan, not to mention that ten years ago, how much was the capital?
Even if there are more brothers-in-law, how much financial pressure would he have to bear as the sole supporter of the family?
This is also fortunately because the Su family has a stronger foundation.
Cheng Ya said, "When you got married, the Su family gave you a pig and fifty yuan as a dowry. Do you need that much money to raise a child?"
"Cheng Ya, didn't you get the betrothal gift back then?" Even the village chief couldn't help but ask.
More than ten years ago, fifty was a small number!
Including a pig.
Cheng Ya shook her head and said, "No."
Everyone sighed.
The village chief looked at Aunt Cheng again and asked, "What about when you got married? Did you have a dowry?"
Aunt Cheng was given a truth talisman and started to speak: "When I got married, I asked for a gift of ten yuan, and my mother secretly gave me ten yuan, and also gave me some gifts. The price difference is quite big."
"So what do you think? Treat both daughters the same?" asked the village chief.
"Did Dani marry the village chief? I thought we would meet each other sooner or later, and I also wanted Dani to have a good life in the village chief's house. Besides, I'm counting on Dani to take care of me in the future!" Grandma Cheng said bluntly, "This girl has always been dull, and she married a good man who is also a local. I can't count on her at all."
In other words, no one was targeting Cheng Ya, nor did they consider how she would live after marrying into the Su family.
Although Cheng Ya already knew this, she still felt heartbroken when she heard her own mother say this in person.
In the end, all those hopes and excuses they had found were shattered.
All that was left was blood, and it made 그 suffer the pain of suffocation.
Some people live in love from birth, but they spend their whole life looking for clues that their parents love them.
But there are still too few, which is pitiful.
If you want to deceive yourself, you will be deceived.
Cheng Ya is old, but she still can't reconcile with herself.
Su Xiaoluo finally understood why Cheng Ya was so good to Li Wan. In fact, Li Wan replaced not only the lost Su Xiaoluo, but also herself.
A child who was not loved, Cheng Ya should have seen herself in her.
To dote on her was to raise both herself and Xiaoluo all over again.
Su Xiaoluo frowned and said, "In that case, the matter of adoption should be made clear. Since mom gave five yuan, then aunt and uncle should also give grandma five yuan."
This makes sense and is applicable anywhere.
Aunt Cheng was the first to jump out: "That's fine! You haven't gotten married in Yan'an yet, and there are many places to spend money on marriage! Besides, most of the family money has been given to me, so I should be the one to take care of my old age."
Grandma Cheng didn't expect that her eldest daughter, whom she had always relied on, would say such a thing. She said, "I have taken care of you all these years, so how come your old age care has become your brother's responsibility?"
Aunt Cheng said quickly, "Mom, you are right. Did you give me the house, money, and private plots? At most, I can come and bring you some things, but don't expect anything else."
In fact, what Aunt Cheng said is also the custom here. Married daughters have no property, but they will also bear the problem of supporting their parents in their old age.
But it was clear that Grandma Cheng thought so. She felt as if the sky had fallen. She asked, "Have you always thought so?"
"What about you?" Aunt Cheng asked, "Can you let you be as stupid as my sister and give you everything?"
Aunt Cheng covered her mouth in annoyance. Normally she would have said it so bluntly, but why did she say it so clearly today?
It's really weird.
But it's also okay to put it out in the open. After all, Cheng Ya has been stupid for so many years and finally knows how to resist.
If the time comes and all the responsibility is shifted to her, wouldn't that be bad luck?
After all, she was close, so she could run away even if she wanted to.
After hearing what their children said, the old couple of the Cheng family calmed down.
Why are the children they give birth to so selfish?
"Five dollars a family, I'll give it all to you." Su Xiaoluo said forcefully.
"That's fine. Even if your grandmother took the five dollars from your uncle, she would still return it to him. Maybe she would give your uncle everything we gave him. Your mother and I don't have any property in the family, so we don't have this obligation!" Aunt Cheng retorted immediately.
How much money can her family earn from this extra five dollars for no reason?
The village chief said: "This is a new society, men and women are equal. No matter whether you have property or not, you should respect your elders. This is a traditional virtue."
Aunt Cheng had her own thoughts in mind and said, "It's not true, but five yuan a family is too much. The old man has his own private plot and can earn a little money on his own. How can he spend the money?"
"So why did you ask Cheng Ya of the village for five yuan in maintenance fees ten years ago?" the village chief asked.
"Her family is rich, so it's a waste." Aunt Cheng crossed her arms, looking like a dead pig afraid of being boiled. "If you want us to support you in your old age, then you should also share the property. Mom has several hundred yuan saved there, let's divide the money first."
Aunt Cheng has always been extremely filial, so Grandma Cheng didn't guard against her and she knew exactly how much money there was.
The village chief groaned for a moment and said, "Brother Cheng, what do you think?"
A few hundred yuan, this was a number Cheng Shu had never heard of before. He had always known where the family's money came from when times were tough.
Now that I think about it, it actually came from Sister 괗.
Grandma Cheng never made this public, so everyone in the village knew that she had a filial and well-married daughter.
Cheng Shu had always thought that his sister had been indifferent to them after she got married, but it turned out that there was such a thing going on.
"Mom, give that money back to Sister 괗, and I will use it to support you in your old age."
Cheng Shu has always felt guilty towards Cheng Ya because when she got married, she gave him all the money she earned from cutting grass for pigs.
In my memory, his sister was talkative and did things silently. Sometimes he would help, but his parents always let the boys do the work, saying that these were things that girls should do.
He had grown up in such an environment and didn't think it was right.
Later, he learned that Sister 괗's family was doing well, so he secretly went to see Sister 괗. As a result, he saw that Sister 괗 had a smile on her face and seemed to talk more.
He didn't persuade Sister 괗 to divorce.
Facts have proved that this is true. If I divorce and return to my parents' home, I don't know to whom my mother will sell my sister.
"What do you know? These are for Cheng Tian to marry a wife. You gave birth to them and raised them, and these are what they owe you." Grandma Cheng thought as a matter of course.
The village chief sighed and said that the family was in disharmony because of the immoral father.
The elders do not know how to maintain relationships, which causes the brothers and sisters to become united and alienated.
Even providing for old age has become the most difficult thing.
As the village chief, he has seen a lot of this kind of thing. For the family property, brothers fight each other and become enemies.
After the death of parents, they continued to communicate with each other until they died of old age.
These are all intentional. Old people have no morals. What they decide is their own blessing and the blessing of their descendants.
