Then everything came out of the but, Zhang Lan's cousin grandfather is two grandsons, and now the family is a suite, and the daughter-in-law plans to buy another suite and prepare the other one.

In those years, the housing prices were getting higher and higher year by year, so Zhang Lan's grandfather's daughter-in-law wanted to make a down payment as soon as possible, and then the family gritted their teeth and suffered a little, and when the two children were older, the mortgage was almost repaid.

Originally, if the cousin was in good health, the retirement salary plus the old couple would do some other work from time to time, and basically bear the family living expenses for a month, and at the same time, they could also be responsible for the daily expenses of the two grandchildren. You can save some money in the end.

But since he was sick and hospitalized, Zhang Lan's grandfather needed to be taken care of by himself in those two years, and the family living expenses were all pressed on his son and daughter-in-law, plus the two of them had to save money for a down payment to buy a house, so their lives were inevitably a little stretched.

After my cousin was discharged from the hospital, because of the problem of hospitalization time, the two daughters went a little more often, and the son and daughter-in-law did not go much because they went to work and took care of the two children.

was hospitalized like this, and after being discharged from the hospital, Zhang Lan's grandfather didn't know if it was because he had just been discharged from the hospital, or if his brain was really confused, anyway, while he was under the same roof with his son and daughter-in-law, he began to provoke problems with his daughter-in-law in daily life.

After that, he gave his monthly retirement salary and the task of buying medicine, and directly gave his bank card and ID card to his two daughters, and asked the two daughters to buy medicine for him.

This angered her daughter-in-law, more than 5,000 yuan a month, and after deducting the money for medicine, she couldn't see a penny of other money. It was a big quarrel back then, and Zhang Lan heard her mother say that she almost got divorced. Later, it was Zhang Lan's grandfather who asked for the bank card and ID card from his eldest daughter and handed them over to Zhang Lan's cousin, who was the old lady, for safekeeping, and the turmoil barely subsided.

Even so, after the family conflict is there, it will not be able to settle for a while. Not long after the quarrel, Zhang Lan's grandfather's daughter-in-law took the money saved by the young couple to buy a house and pay a down payment, and since then, the money in the hands of the young couple has been tight.

In the words of the daughter-in-law, no matter how confused you are this old man, anyway, now the two of us have no money, and you can take the living expenses of your grandson's school and family if you want, and if you don't want to take it, everyone will be poor. Anyway, they are young, and it's nothing for the old and young to live a hard life.

The father-in-law and daughter-in-law had a conflict, and after that, Zhang Lan's cousin was also sick and hospitalized, which was not a serious illness, and she had some slight cerebral infarction, and she was discharged from the hospital after more than ten days.

But with the onset of cerebral infarction, Zhang Lanbiao's grandmother's body collapsed quickly and needed to take medicine all year round.

In just two years, the original harmonious life of Zhang Lan's grandfather's family was in harmony, and with the retirement salary of the two old people, in addition to buying medicine, they could only buy some daily necessities.

The wages of the son and daughter-in-law, after paying the down payment, the monthly mortgage is nearly 7,000, and basically no one dares to take off work, nor dare to ask for leave to change jobs at will.

In short, the quality of life of the family has dropped a lot in an instant, and as the two children gradually grow up, one goes to high school and the other goes to junior high school, the cost of the two children also increases.

The food, clothing, housing and transportation of a family of six will cost three or four thousand yuan a month. That is, if the cousin's son and daughter-in-law do not have the help of their cousin's retirement salary, they do not have a net income of 10,000 yuan a month, and the family income and expenditure are negative.

Under the weight of such a life, if there are some personal contacts on weekdays, or if a family member has a big or small illness, it will be an instant debt.

When the family is gradually returning to poverty, the small things in life that were originally laughed at can lead to quarrels.

After graduating from school, Zhang Lanbiao's grandfather's son joined a state-owned enterprise in the city and worked in the company for more than 20 years.

His salary and job are very stable, which is the minimum minimum to protect the mortgage. After quarreling again and again, it was he who struggled to maintain it in the middle, so as not to make the turmoil bigger.

Originally, the small family was quite peaceful, but as Zhang Lan's grandfather and grandfather's body gradually recovered, the cousin himself realized his previous mistakes and began to consciously afford the family's living expenses.

But with the transformation of the economic form, my grandfather's son is fine, and the state-owned enterprises that have been able to maintain normal operation for so many years are not affected by the market. But the daughter-in-law is different, she works well, and suddenly the company stops working, and then she is looking for a job temporarily.

Dual-income families can still barely make ends meet, but now it has suddenly become that only one person can earn money stably, and the family's living expenses and daily household expenses are inevitably even more stretched.

Later, the house bought by the two people had a faint tendency to be unfinished, and the family members got along even more badly.

In this case, after another big quarrel, Zhang Lan's cousin and grandfather roughly renovated the house in their hometown on the mountain and moved it back.

Among them, it is not only the reason why I can't get along with my daughter-in-law, but also because of these years, and the two grandchildren are so old, I can't let the small family face the risk of breakup.

Zhang Lan's grandfather thought very clearly, and when he was doing acupuncture at Zhang Lan's house, he said it very clearly.

Regardless of whether the house is rotten or not, the main problem of their family now is that when the daughter-in-law's job cannot be guaranteed, the son's salary will cover the mortgage at most, and the rest of the family's living expenses will all be pressed on the daughter-in-law's unstable job.

The old couple is in good health now, and with some money to renovate the house on the mountain, the son's family in the city will save the living expenses of the two of them.

The two of them planted some land in the mountains casually, and while taking care of themselves, they could save part of the grain, oil, rice and noodles at home, and at the same time, Zhang Lan's grandfather's retirement salary could save nearly 3,000 yuan a month in addition to buying medicine.

In this way, the life of the son and daughter-in-law can be maintained and move forward, and they can save money in their hands.

When Zhang Lan told his mother about the situation of his cousin's family, he told his mother that he would not let his cousin and grandfather move down to live in the winery, and Zhang Lan's grandfather lived in the factory, so that the two could have a chat companion together.

Zhang Lan's mother was a little moved, and after thinking about it, she had to tell Zhang Lan's grandfather about it, and if Zhang Lan's mother spoke, Zhang Lan's grandfather would definitely not agree.

Just Zhang Lan's grandfather called, and the two cousins chatted together, maybe there was hope.

This Zhang Lan doesn't care, he is only responsible for making a suggestion, whether it will work or not, his mother is in charge, and he doesn't take care of this stall at home.
