Chapter 329: Kicked Out of the House

Chapter 329: Chapter 329: Kicked Out of the House

"Mom, I’m not asking for your house for free. You said that the house would be divided among us after you... pass away," Li Yuqin proposed what she thought was a very reasonable plan, "As long as you write our names on the house deed in advance, we will take care of you."

"We will bring you to the city and take care of you," Li Yuqin said.

"Why should I agree to that!" Zhang Jiayu protested, "If that’s the case, I can take care of Mom too! Can we have the house then?"

"Anyway, if the house is split equally, I have no objections, but if you think about keeping it all for yourself, that’s unacceptable!" Zhang Jiayu said coldly, "If you think about keeping it all, then I must fight for it. I can’t let you have everything good."

"You take care of her?" Zhang Jiayu scoffed, "You, a daughter-in-law, can take care of your mother-in-law wholeheartedly? It sounds nice now, but once you’ve tricked mom into giving you the house, who knows what you’ll do once you bring her to the city!"

"By then, even if you were abusing Mom, she would have no one to turn to," Zhang Jiayu stated coldly, "So, if you think you can monopolize the house this way, think again!"

Frankly, Zhang Jiayu just didn’t want Li Yuqin to get the house.

Lu Youxi sighed helplessly in silence.

Grandma Xu looked at her children, tears welling up in her eyes.

"In my life, I have always acted with a clear conscience. Although our family isn’t wealthy, I have been fair to all of you since you were young," Grandma Xu said, "I have never favored one over the other or mistreated any of you."

"Though our family isn’t wealthy, I’ve given you everything I could save. Within our limited means, I made sure you faced no hardships."

"You grew up and went to the city to work. I know that life isn’t easy for you there, so I scrimped and saved. Every year, I managed to save a bit of money and divided it equally between you. I just didn’t want you to suffer in the city, to struggle with food or sleep."

"The money I gave you wasn’t much, but at least it was enough for you to have enough food, right?"

"When you got married and had children, I wasn’t able to help much, and you didn’t want me helping with the children. You thought a rural old lady like me, lacking in worldliness, wouldn’t be as good as the city relatives with more experience, afraid that I couldn’t care for the children well," Grandma Xu sniffled, sighed, "But weren’t you all raised by me?"

"But now I think about it, maybe it’s true, I really don’t know how to raise children, so I turned you into what you are now."

"Mom, why do you say such things?" Zhang Jialiang said displeased, "Where did we go wrong for you to speak about us like this? What have we become?"

Li Yuqin quickly tugged at Zhang Jialiang, reminding him that they still wanted the old lady’s house, and now was not the time to conflict with her.

Realizing this, Zhang Jialiang shut his mouth, his face sullen, but he clearly appeared very upset with what Grandma Xu had just said.

"Yuqin, I am not capable, indeed I couldn’t provide Pengpeng with a house. When Jialiang married you, I did my best to add to your funds. I couldn’t prepare a house directly for Jialiang, and I’m sorry you had to live hardly in the city," Grandma Xu said.

"Mom, you don’t have to say such things. Jialiang was my choice, and I accept it," Li Yuqin interrupted Grandma Xu, "It’s just that now you don’t plan to give us the house anymore. Bringing up mine and Jialiang’s new house issue again."

"Then let’s talk about the new house," Li Yuqin said, "Pengpeng is already this big, Jialiang and I have been married for so many years now, yet we are still renting an apartment."

"Before Pengpeng was born, the two of us could still squeeze into my parents’ house. But now Pengpeng is bigger, and we can’t fit in my parents’ home, so we have to rent outside," Li Yuqin said with teary eyes, "Mom, Jialiang and I have been married for so many years, yet we don’t have a house of our own."

"If you don’t want to give us the house that will be rebuilt after the demolition, then just give us the demolition compensation directly. Don’t wait to sell the house later and then divide the money," Li Yuqin said, "I’m afraid we can’t wait that long. If you really care about your son, let us have our own home in the city."

The Village Chief’s Wife could no longer bear to listen, "What kind of talk is this? Giving you the demolition money directly, then where do you expect Aunt Xu to live?"

Li Yuqin pursed her lips and said, "Then it depends on how Mom distributes the demolition money then. If she gives enough, we can afford to take care of her. Otherwise, I don’t know what to do."

Li Yuqin spread her hands, "We really are out of options. Everyone needs to make a living."

"Zhang Jialiang," the village chief spoke sternly, "do you agree with what your wife is saying?"

Zhang Jialiang kept his head down and didn’t speak, effectively acquiescing.

"Zhang Jialiang, one must have a conscience! Your mom has never done anything to wrong you siblings. She scrimped and saved at home, not saving a penny for herself. Everything she saved went to you."

"And now, you want to drive her out of her own home, not leaving her a place to live!" the village chief lamented in his heart.

The Lu Family’s elders were extremely selfish, hoarding money for their own care.

They wouldn’t give anything to anyone.

Now that they were bedridden, they still refused to part with their money.

It was only out of sheer desperation that they agreed to give Ge Guifen a small allowance to care for them.

And Grandma Xu, always having her children in mind, never considered herself, not saving a single penny for her own care.

She even saved money from her own food to give to her children.

Yet now, her children still wanted to kick her out of the house.

"I didn’t say I wouldn’t leave anything. Whoever gets more money will take care of me," Zhang Jialiang said.

The village chief snorted, thankful that Lu Youxi had returned today to take Grandma Xu to the Imperial Capital.

Otherwise, with these two scheming, wouldn’t Grandma Xu end up homeless?

"Aunt Xu has not been unkind to you, she has never wronged you in any way. How can you act like this, isn’t it heartless?" Liu Yushu couldn’t hold back and said.

"It’s not right to say that, we haven’t said we won’t take care of her," Zhang Jialiang said, "Moreover, this is our family affair. We respect the elders, but that doesn’t mean you have the right to meddle in our family matters, right?"

Grandma Xu quieted for a moment before slowly beginning, "Jialiang, Jiayu, do you always feel that I haven’t given you a life like other people in the city, so I owe you and am sorry for you?"

Zhang Jialiang and Zhang Jiayu said nothing.

Back in Hexing Village, compared to other families, theirs wasn’t the worst.
