Capítulo 1993: Chapter 1994: Old Mrs. Zhang’s 1970 Rebirth—Transforming Her Ungrateful Children 25
Zhang Yu looked at Wei He in a daze and whispered in Wei Dazhi’s ear, “Your son, he must be blaming Li Juan for this account.”
Don’t be fooled by Wei He’s obedience to his wife; he is a henpecked husband, but if his interests are truly hard, it would be strange if he doesn’t hold a grudge.
Wei Dazhi wasn’t concerned with the third son and his wife at the mont; what he really wanted to know now was, “Wife, are you really planning to donate the house to the community?”
He knew houses of the five-guarantee families are handed over to the state, and the state also provides for their elder care, but the problem is, they are not five-guarantee families.
“Yes.” No matter how accommodating Wei Dazhi usually was with his wife, this was not a trivial matter. Zhang Yu estimated that he would most likely disagree.
“We did say that whoever is filial would get the house, but have you considered, old man, what if they unite and don’t care if we live or die?” Zhang Yu shouted.
Well, Wei Dazhi really hadn’t considered this possibility. In his view, they had already agreed that whoever is filial would get the house, so shouldn’t they be competing to be good to both elders?
See, even though Wei Dazhi kept saying the kids were selfish and not filial, he never seriously considered the worst-case scenario.
“Yes, they obviously know that if they take good care of us, the house will be theirs. Old man, have you thought about all of them being nice to us, so the house would be split between the three of them, one room each?”
“They would only get a share if they took good care of us.”
“Similarly, they don’t need to be all that filial, they could potentially have terrible attitudes, and when we’re old and bedridden, they might not feed us. Should we encounter soone even more heartless, they might not cover us with blankets, leaving us freezing for days, leading directly to our death—again resulting in each getting a room.”
Aaah, Wei He was stunned; this was exactly what he’d been contemplating these days. Since everyone wants the house, they would certainly be good to the old man and the woman, and the final outco would surely be that everyone gets a share.
From another angle, if they’re indifferent or even hostile toward the elderly, it’s not as if they’re filial — wouldn’t each still get a room? Again, everyone benefits, and this way is certainly the easiest.
He hadn’t yet made a final decision, after all, his parents had always been quite good to their youngest son, it’s just that the behavior of the old lady in recent days made him very upset.
The old lady doesn’t know his innermost thoughts, Wei He was really puzzled, moreover, he was quite sure there was no way anyone had leaked the information, because he hadn’t said a word.
“Given it’s a room for each anyway, old man, if you had to choose, which would you?” Zhang Yu noticed Wei He’s face drastically change, which made her very happy.
Just like these three kids of the original owner, Wei He was the one who used his brain the most and held grudges the first—anyone who treated him well, he might not rember, but anyone who didn’t, he would definitely keep a record.
Zhang Yu believed, these few days where the third family’s survival seed indifferent to her, he definitely held a grudge.
But so what, for him to treat the primary owner so kindly only to end up in such a way—she really didn’t have any notion of treating him well.
Wei Dazhi inexplicably felt that his wife’s words were indeed so correct, especially upon seeing the third’s grim expression, his heart was continuously sinking.
Don’t mind him always thinking that the three children weren’t filial, but he never thought it would be to this extent.
Wei Dazhi suddenly recalled neighbors and workers where similar situations occurred, where families had many children not being filial or worse, abusing their parents; he had heard of quite a few cases,
Before that, Wei Dazhi assud the two sons, however heartless, hopefully wouldn’t act to such extres.
But now he couldn’t be so sure, if all three children choose to neglect them yet still want the house—united, it truly would be the best thod.
“Wife, what you said is very right, let’s do that.” Wei Dazhi agreed with Zhang Yu’s idea without hesitation.
Huh? Wei Jiang and Wei He initially thought the old man’s surprised expression would surely lead him to oppose the old lady’s idea but then surprisingly agreed.
“Dad, we are your sons.” Wei Jiang was stunned, pulling over the already dumbfounded Wei Chi, “Dad, I know you have issues with , but whatever the case, you can’t ignore Xiao Chi; he’s your eldest grandson.”
Wei Jiang shoved the now stunned Wei Chi, urging him to speak.
Wei Dazhi glanced at the gaping Wei Chi, “I can’t count on my sons, can I count on my grandchildren?”
“You all know that my family with your mom passed away long ago, without leaving us anything; everything at ho was bought through and your mom’s hard work.”
“Your mom and I started from nothing to achieve what we have today; as our sons, I have confidence that you can certainly do even better.” Wei Dazhi praised them, “This isn’t sothing handed down through generations but a result of mine and your mom’s efforts.”
“Everything here was arranged by us.”
“Alright, it’s getting late, you all should hurry and cook dinner.” Wei Dazhi waved them off to hurry up, “And third son, are you going to look at the house?”
Recalling Zhang Yu’s earlier words, Wei Dazhi asked Wei He again, “It’s fine if you don’t want to see it.”
“Anyway, when the ti cos and you have nowhere to live, that’s for all of you.” Wei Dazhi was indifferent; ultimately, reputation might be unpleasant, yet what does that achieve or accomplish.
Wei He was gambling on the parents being unwilling to let the two children suffer, yet Zhang Yu’s current attitude was very clear, there was a total loss of faith.
“Mom, let think it over.” Wei He felt utterly disordered, sighing, how did matters reach this point.
Wei Dazhi went over to the sink to wash the dishes, “Wife, let’s go out for a walk.” Staying at ho, seeing these ingrates, made him feel bad.
Zhang Yu responded softly, locking the door of her bedroom, prompting curious looks from the Wei family who found it odd that she would lock the door, given that the old lady never used to lock her door, and how co suddenly she locked it, is there sothing wrong?
“Mom, why did you lock the door?” Wei He was truly puzzled, He suddenly recalled when his wife joined the family, the old lady had given his wife a little goldfish on her second day.
The couple had never spoken of it externally, worrying that if Wei Jiang’s family found out, jealousy might arise.
He rembered neighbors ntioning Zhang Yu’s family used to run security escorts; it’s just the elders perished in the conflict, could it be that Wei Yu hadn’t co across a wealthy grandfather after all?
“Why am I locking the door.” Wei He’s eyes shifted, Zhang Yu knew, this kid must be scheming whether the primaries had hidden wealth.
If that were indeed the case, should he take sothing on the side, considering renting rooms needed procurent of many items? With the division of the family’s money, honestly there wasn’t quite enough.
