"As for the house my wife and I live in, when we get old, we'll give it to the eldest son. After all, he's the eldest son, so he should get a bigger share."
After the old man finished speaking, the eldest son immediately expressed his position, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I am the eldest son, and I will take care of you in your old age."

The old man was afraid that his sons would blame the old lady for being too strict, and it was all for the sake of the family.
"Dad, we all know."
"But I can't give you all this money. You know, the fourth brother isn't married yet, and Meili isn't married either. So... we're going to keep 560 yuan, and the remaining 800 yuan, 200 yuan each for each of you four brothers."
