Chapter 31 Pampering the Daughter's Property to the Son
"I'm coming back on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, and your father and your brother won't be home until noon tomorrow." Mom watched her daughter's gobbling up food, and her heart was very steady.
"My dad and my brother didn't come back, so you still secretly stewed chicken to eat." Su Wan made a joke with her mother.
"I bought three chickens this year, and I knew that you would come back today, so I deliberately killed one for you to eat, otherwise your father, your brother, and your brother and daughter-in-law will come back tomorrow, so many people, how many pieces of meat can you eat?"
"Look at what you say, it's like I can't even eat a piece of meat outside." Su Wan really wanted to cry, the one who loved her the most in the world was her old mother.
But, wait, my brother has a partner, she already knew the news on the phone, isn't it that the two are not married yet, why are you following her brother home now, is this going to her mother's house for the New Year?
"Mom, my brother is married?" No, if her brother gets married, how can her parents inform her.
"It'll be over after the New Year."
"If he is not married, why does he still come to our house for the New Year?"
"You are a married daughter, but don't worry about this idle matter, don't you know, your brother and daughter-in-law are pregnant, don't you just come to our house for the New Year this year."
"They've bought a house in the city?" The younger brother works in a city 100 kilometers away from home, and will definitely not return to their rural area in the future.
"I bought it, I bought it with a loan. Your dad and I have been working outside for so many years, and all the money we have saved has gone in, and your brother has added a little more, which is just enough for a down payment. Mentioning that she had the ability to buy a house for her son in the city, Su Wanniang suddenly felt that her gray and abrupt old face showed infinite brilliance.
Hearing this, Su Wan's heart sank.
During the rebellious period, why did she fall in love with Zhang Huanyu, who was poor and white, in fact, it was more or less related to her parents.
Her father and mother have always been like this, she is very open-minded on the surface, and she loves Su Wan in every way, indicating that their family is not patriarchal, but when she grows older, what she hears is: hurry up and earn money, buy a house for her son and marry a daughter-in-law.
In this, there is not a single word about her.
Originally, Su Wan still thought that she now had two money in her hand, and she would borrow some more from her parents to see if she could buy a house quickly, and when she had money, she would return the money to her parents.
I heard my mother say this just now, so it seems that my parents have just bought a house for my younger brother, and they must have no money left in their hands.
Hey, it seems like that's all the way around now.
Enlightened parents have given their daughters infinite favor, but their property has been left to their troubled sons.
Just like her mother, she would stew a chicken for her when she came home to show her love, but the bulk of the property was given to her younger brother.
However, Su Wan thought about it carefully and immediately felt that it didn't matter.
People can't rely on their parents, after all, the money is earned by their hard work, and people can give it to whoever they like, and if they want to live a good life, they still have to earn it with their own hands, and only then can they have confidence when they spend it.
After gobbling up a few bites, Su Wan was afraid that Zhang Huanyu's stepmother would pick on her, so she said to her mother: "Mom, I'll go to Zhang Huanyu's house to have a look." ”
"Well, you hurry up and bring Guoguo to me to see, I haven't caught it to see my eldest grandson yet." Speaking of this, Su Wanniang couldn't help but wipe the corners of her eyes with the back of her wrinkled and chapped hand.
This girl is too strong, just because she opposed their marriage at the beginning, she even hid such a big thing as having a child from her family.
It wasn't until the child was almost a year old that he called back to report his safety.
In fact, Su Wanniang also has her difficulties, not that she values her son more, but despises this daughter, the palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, and her son and daughter were all born in October when she was pregnant.
But the reality is like this, since ancient times, there are differences between men and women, sons can't marry daughters-in-law if they don't have a house, and daughters can marry no matter what.
He is not a wealthy family, and the limited amount of money, of course, must be close to his son first.
Watching her daughter's figure walk away, Su Wanniang hurriedly rummaged through the cabinets and found a few fruits and snacks, preparing for the arrival of Guoguo.
Su Wan left her mother's house, turned a few alleys, and walked to Zhang Huanyu's house.
Zhang Huanyu's home is a four-room tiled house, in disrepair, and the weeds growing on the courtyard wall are also unmanaged.
After Su Wan entered the door, he saw that the kitchen was deserted, and there was not even a coal stove. It seems that the heating of their house depends on the firewood stove to burn the big kang every time they cook a meal on weekdays.
After entering the house, Guoguo sat in his grandfather's bad room and played with a new toy, which seemed to be prepared for him by his grandfather in advance when he knew that his grandson was coming.
Zhang Huanyu sat on the edge of the kang, and his stepmother sat on the kang with a small quilt.
I haven't seen him for a few years, and his stepmother has gained weight again, and her whole face is connected to her neck, reaching her chest, which looks like a mountain of meat piled on the kang.
"Aunt~" Su Wan didn't open her mouth to call Mom.
Because they are from a village, when they were not married, she called Zhang Huanyu's stepmother an aunt in terms of seniority.
got married, Su Wan didn't want to change her words, after all, Zhang Huanyu always called his stepmother his aunt, why was she idle, so she had to recognize a mother for herself?
"Hmm~" Wang Cuihuapi responded with a smile, revealing a mouth full of big gold teeth.
"Take off your shoes and sit inside." When Zhang Huanyu saw Su Wan coming in, he stood up with a strange expression.
Who knew that before Su Wan took off her shoes, Wang Cuihua began to count: "Su Wan, you came back by taxi?" Look at our village, who is who...... bought more than 300,000 cars, who is who...... I bought a house of seven or eight hundred thousand yuan, and brought my parents to the city to enjoy happiness. ”
"Hey, I'm following your father, it's been eight lifetimes of mold, the poor can't even afford to eat meat, Huanyu is not angry, I've been in the city for so many years, and I can't even afford a car."
I'll go!
Su Wan exploded when she heard it: "Auntie, who is not working together as a family now, the people you are talking about, their parents bought a house when they got married, and then they bought a car in a few years, what's so strange about this?" Otherwise, the old people go to help watch the children, and the young people earn money outside......"
Originally, Su Wan wanted to add: I married Zhang Huanyu, what did you give me? Where were you when I was tired of crying with my children?
But seeing that Grandpa Guoguo was lowering his head, his face full of sadness and guilt, she swallowed the words back.
Forget it, I don't hesitate to see this fat girl in general, I only came back to live for a few days, don't wait for her to leave, this mother-in-law will find Grandpa Guoguo to be angry.
Su Wan didn't want to compete with Wang Cuihua for these riceless chaff, but Wang Cuihua still didn't give up......
