On the other hand, Third Brother Fu returned home after dinner. When he saw the good wine and food at home, he had another meal. Actually, his wife didn't go to visit him today. Instead, she made some good food at home and didn't want to go there. His sons had already finished eating, so Third Brother Fu asked his daughter and son to rest.
After sending the child away, Third Brother Fu took a sip of wine and told his wife about what happened at the old home today.
Madam Deng's eyes began to roll around when she heard this. This time, she had the intention to split the family. Although they did not live together, she still had to pay money every month. She had to bring the child back to eat that meager meal. She had to pay one tael of silver a month. She had long been unhappy. Now that her sister-in-law had to bring the man and child back to her mother's house, and her eldest son had a heart disease, there might be more places to spend money in the future. How could she ask her to pay more money to her family?
If we can split up this time, our family will have to give us some money to buy a house!
Thinking of this, he calculated how much money the old couple had. The old courtyard definitely did not have a share here, but the old man and the old woman had a grocery store. Although it was small, the business was good. The old couple had at least five taels of income a month. In addition, the two sons paid at least 60 taels of savings every month.
With that thought in mind, she told her man,"Father, we have to live separately!”
Third Brother Fu: " Isn't it considered a single life now? You don't have to do any work over there. It'll be so comfortable to go eat when it's time."”
"Are you stupid? Are we eating for free?" One tael of silver a month!
Besides, if you don't want to separate them, are you still planning to help your mother raise your sister's family?
Why am I making a fuss? I'm just afraid that your parents will make a mistake!
We still have her grandson. She didn't even ask us to go home and let you stay at her daughter-in-law's house. Why didn't they consider us?
Now, her daughter wanted to raise Old Zhao's family with just a few words. Had she ever raised our child?”
Third Brother Fu didn't say anything, but his expression changed. As a son, he was not allowed to stay at home and was forced to stay with his wife's family for so many years. It was not that Third Brother Fu had not mentioned going back to live, but his parents had not agreed. However, now he wanted to bring an outsider back.
Madam Deng looked at Third Brother Fu's expression and said,""I'm planning to take over the neighboring courtyard. It's not a good idea for us to keep staying in my maternal family. Now that the child is all grown up, we have to get married in the future. If other people see that our family lives in my maternal family, who would be willing to befriend someone who relies on her maternal family!
Also, I heard that your brother has a heart disease today. Do you know why our neighbor is selling his yard?
It was because the son of that family was sick that he had emptied his family's assets over the years. He could not sell this place and move to the north. He moved to a cheaper house there.
Do you remember his family business? He was so strong in the past. It's only been a few years. His family has been emptied out and his illness hasn't been cured yet. If your brother is like this, what will happen to our son if your parents give him all their money to treat his illness? Isn't that your grandson?"
When Third Brother Fu heard his wife mention the great undertaking next door, his heart skipped a beat. Daye was only five years older than him, and now he was almost crippled because of his heart disease. He couldn't be tired, angry, or excited, and he had to take that expensive medicine all year round. His family did not seem to be too poor!
At the thought of this, he began to feel that he had to split the family's assets. He still had his son. He couldn't just let his eldest son spend all his money and not have anything.
Third Brother Fu: " Now that you say it, it's true. But what can we do if we split up?"
There's no need to think about the old courtyard. It belongs to the old master. I don't think our parents will give us the grocery store. Let's not talk about big brother, there's still my second brother!”
Madam Deng: " I don't care about that courtyard either. Your parents won't give the grocery store to any of their sons. If they don't die, no one can touch it. I'm thinking about their savings over the years. If we don't pay money to the family in the future, what can we do with 12 taels of silver a year? The courtyard next door only has 180 taels of silver. If we have that money, we might as well save up and buy a courtyard for our son.”
Third Brother Fu actually agreed with his wife's words. He couldn't always stay at his father-in-law's house. In the past, he didn't have money. Now that he had some money, it was better to move out.
"How much money do you have?" Third Brother Fu asked. It costs 180 taels next door!"
Madam Deng: " I have 120 taels of silver with me. I was wondering if I could borrow some from both parents, but before I could ask, your sister came back!”
Third Brother Fu said,"You're still so far away! Then you didn't bargain with them?"
Madam Deng: " Why didn't he say anything? If it weren't for the war outside, they would have offered 200 taels! It was already the lowest price. If it was less than 200 taels in the past, there was no need to look at the house!”
Third Brother Fu also knew that this was the case. He only asked because he wanted to lower the price.
Madam Deng continued,"We have to hurry up and split the family. Your sister and the old master are all eyeing your parents 'money!"”
Third Brother Fu: " It's normal for everyone to be concerned about money in the future. But why would Xiaojuan be concerned about it? She is a married girl."
"I told you you were stupid!" Isn't your sister going to live alone? Where did she get the money? The Old Zhao family could give it? Give my ass!"
Madam Deng took a sip of wine and said,"From your parents 'actions, I feel that they are planning to buy a house for your sister."”
Not only did Madam Deng guess correctly, but the old man and old lady of the Fu family really wanted to buy a house for their daughter!
The couple ate and drank as they calculated. It was already midnight. Seeing that it was so late and they were almost done with their research, they packed up and went to bed.
......
After a good night's sleep, everyone woke up.
Madam Deng and Third Brother Fu had drunk and rested the night before, so they woke up late in the morning. When they woke up, they saw that the children were playing in the courtyard and asked if they had eaten. The children said that they had eaten and that their grandmother had made them.
Third Brother Fu saw that he had woken up a little late today, so he went to the kitchen and casually took a steamed bun to the shop. Now, because of the war, Third Brother Fu did not have to go out to deliver goods. He helped his father-in-law and mother-in-law look after the carpenter shop every day.
Madam Deng saw that her man had gone out, so she went to her mother's room.
"Mother, I want to discuss something with you."”
Madam Deng looked up at Madam Deng and said,"What is it?"
"I want to buy the apartment next door. I don't have enough money on hand, so I want to borrow some!"”
"Next door?" Why would he buy a house next door when he was living here?”
Madam Deng: " It's not right for us to stay here all the time. Besides, my son isn't young anymore. In a few years, he won't even have a home of his own. Who else would he like?!"”
Madam Deng didn't take it seriously when she heard about buying a house at first, but when she mentioned her grandson, her heart changed.
Because the Deng family had no sons and only three daughters, they were especially concerned about their grandchildren. It would be a big deal if they delayed their grandchildren's marriage.
Of the three daughters of the Deng family, the eldest daughter was the one that the old lady looked down on the most. She was the most unattractive of the daughters because she had many children and was ridiculously fat. She was also very selfish and even caused an unmarried pregnancy. The old lady despised her very much.
However, only this daughter gave birth to a boy, and it was three boys at that. No matter how much the old lady disliked daughters, her son-in-law, granddaughter, and grandson were really good.
Madam Deng asked you how much you were short?
"Mother, I still need 60 taels."”
"You didn't go there to ask for more?"”
"I want it, but can they give it to me?" I've been thinking of splitting up that family recently."
"Which family?"
Madam Deng told her mother-in-law that her sister-in-law had recently caused a ruckus and left the family, and that her eldest son had a heart disease. She also said that if she didn't leave the family, her family would have nothing left.
