"Don't the Yan family care?"
"They dare? Do they really think I'm a pushover?"
"Look at you, nothing's even happened yet, and you're already getting so angry."
"That won't do either. This girl is the treasure of our Shen family. No one can be allowed to mistreat her. We can always bring her home later."
"Dad, calm down. Everything is negotiable. If you really can't make it this way one day, just come back."
Even if their brother and sister-in-law have objections, I will make arrangements for them.
"That's fine. If the Yan family really has objections, we can just change our surname."
"Is that really my intention? It doesn't matter whether the surname is Shen, Shen Li, or Liu."
"That's good, but let's keep the surname Chen!"
"Either is fine, I have no objection."
There's one more thing left unsaid: regardless of surname, everyone gets their own share of the property. Even if the two elders don't say it, they know how much the Shen family owns.
As for the Shen family's properties, they don't own many, but the two elders bought some when housing prices in Beijing were still low, exactly fifteen units.
And you know what? When I went to buy it, it wasn't expensive, but now it's increased many times over.
This 140-150 square meter apartment, if not worth five million, should be worth at least two or three million now!
Moreover, the house price is still rising, and the location is good. In another ten or twenty years, this house will be worth tens of millions.
It can be said that the two elders, their children, grandchildren, and even their great-grandchildren all have a set of their own.
It can be said that there was absolutely no favoritism towards anyone. As for how much money they still have, it's their retirement pension from when they bought the house until now.
The two elders together earn about 150,000 to 160,000 yuan a year! Despite the high cost of living in Beijing, they don't spend their own money; they save it all up.
It's estimated that there are at least 500,000 of them. They are in good health now, and even if they don't live another 20 or 30 years, they can live at least 10 years.
Instead of giving the house directly to their children, the elderly couple put it into their own foundation.
However, they are required to rent it out, with the rent paid in individual accounts under each person's name, and the money can only be withdrawn after they turn forty.
In their view, giving the children a place to live is far better than giving them a house directly.
However, it's not needed now. Not only can their work unit provide housing, but even if they needed it, they wouldn't be able to use it.
Who can blame them when their parents also bought quite a few properties in advance? It's safe to say that the last thing their family lacks is a house.
“Why are you crying? You are the only girl in the family. Not to mention your grandparents, parents, even your uncles and aunts, your aunts and uncles, and even your fourth uncle and aunt who don’t come back often, they value you more than we men.”
"That's because you're a tough, thick-skinned kid."
"do not you?"
"Didn't I say that? Xiao Jiu, stop crying. If Yan Liang bullies you in the future, just tell your brothers, and they'll beat him up for you."
"No need, Seventh Brother, I'll handle it myself."
"Alright, as long as you're willing to give it up, we have no objection. If you're unhappy in the Yan family, then come back."
"Brother, I know. It's just that I haven't heard Grandpa and Grandma protect me like this in a long time, and it makes me feel sad."
"They don't say anything because you've grown up and they think you can handle your own problems."
"Too."
“Our sister-in-law is much more favored than her brothers.”
"That's true, even this little girl is more popular with her grandparents than her father."
“That’s right. My son always says when he comes home that his grandparents like his little sister more than him.”
"No, does she already know how to compete for attention at such a young age?"
“Sister-in-law, just wait and see! When your son gets a little older, I dare say that when he goes back to live in the alley, you will find that in our Shen family, boys are not popular at all, and girls are the treasures of the family.”
"Second sister-in-law, I can understand if it were grandparents or their great-grandchildren, but would they spoil other people too?"
"That's right, sister-in-law, you don't know, she's the only girl in the younger generation of our Shen family, who wouldn't dote on her!"
"That's true. When I first got pregnant, Junde said it would be best if it was a girl, soft and cuddly, how wonderful. But when I gave birth to a boy, he exclaimed, 'You brat, you'll never have a good life.'"
"Not to mention you, even your older brother was like that back then. Look at Xiao Xuan now, he's only a few years old, and he's not only incredibly mischievous, but he's also learned to play tricks on us. If you didn't know him, you would definitely be fooled by him."
"this?"
“Sister-in-law is right. Second sister-in-law, let me tell you, I can’t control my husband now. Sometimes I have to use my authority to put him in his place.”
"No way! What if our child is like that too? Will I be able to raise him properly?"
“That’s easy. Just send him to the alley. Not to mention Dad, Mom will definitely be able to tame him. I heard from your older brother that Mom is very good at disciplining children.”
"That's all we can do. Even if we have time to manage him while we're busy with work, he might not listen to us."
And don't let his young age fool you, he's incredibly charming and affectionate.
"Third sister-in-law, you have daughters in your family, does that mean you should still do this?"
"What do you think? You were just fooled by her appearance!"
"ah!"
"Your third sister-in-law is absolutely right. That little girl of theirs, she looks like a sweet and gentle child, but when she gets into a tantrum, she's just as good as ours!"
"What's wrong with you? What are you talking about?"
"Are you talking about your daughter? Tell me, what girl is as mischievous as yours? She's even more mischievous than a boy!"
"That's alright! I don't think so!"
"That's because you're not home often. You'd know once you were home. Where do you think this child got his cunning from?"
He'd practically tear the house down in front of me, but the moment he sees his dad, he becomes as docile as a kitten.
"That's right, my son is like that too, he's really cunning."
"Why are you running? No one is chasing you. Don't you know you'll sweat easily? If you sweat, you'll easily catch a cold, and if you catch a cold, you'll have to take medicine."
"I won't eat it, Grandma. Dad and Mom are saying bad things about Nini."
"What? I didn't hear you clearly. Tell Fourth Grandfather what happened."
"this?"
"It's obvious you didn't understand, Fourth Brother. She was talking incoherently, but she didn't leave anything out."
“That’s right. She’s saying that her parents and others say she’s naughty, a bad child, and very mischievous, capable of tearing the house apart.”
"Her? How could that be?"
