"Mom, how much is the dividend?" Li Wenhui sat on the single sofa on the other side, kicked off her slippers, and folded her legs under her buttocks.
"Your dad said it was five thousand."
Three pairs of eyes looked at Ding Qiunan and then at Li Chu.
"Mom Qiunan, isn't this too much? I can't have this!" Wang Yueyue said quickly.
Just now she said it was a betrothal gift, and she thought it was just a few hundred dollars in dividends, so just take it.
But now I heard it was five thousand, and it looked like it was not just given once, but would definitely be given again in the future. How could she get it? Who gave such a betrothal gift? She had never heard of it.
"You can't tell me. It was given by your father Chu. It was awarded to him by the state and he divided it between the two of you."
Li Chu waved his hand and did not let Wang Yueyue and Li Wenhui talk anymore.
"Yueyue, that's a betrothal gift for you. Your grandparents and parents all know it, so you can just take it. Huihui, that's a dowry for you. You two don't need to say anything. If you get dividends, just save them.
If the family needs money, they will naturally come to you."
Once the decision was made, Wang Yueyue and Li Wenhui looked at each other and said nothing.
"Dad, why don't you have mine?" Li Wenxuan, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, and he wanted something as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Brother Xuan, what's mine is yours!"
Before Li Chu could say anything, Wang Yueyue spoke first.
Li Wenxuan raised his hand and touched his wife's hair, and said with a smile: "I was joking with our dad."
"Dad" Wen Hui spoke again.
"The shares you gave me are a bit too much. Let's give some more to my younger brother and sister-in-law."
"Sister, that's the dowry our father gave you. What's the deal with giving it to us? Isn't it available here in Yueyue?"
"That's right, Sister Hui, I don't want it. It's too much for me."
"Okay!" Li Chu raised his voice impatiently and said, "Just take what's given to you."
"Hui Hui, I know what you mean. It's just that you are going to get married. To me, you and Wenxuan are the same. They are both my and your mother's children. There is no distinction between men and women. The two of us earn these family assets and we are alive.
None of you need to think about it. After a hundred years between us, these family properties will be split in half, and they will all belong to your siblings. No one has to earn it, and no one has to refuse it. Just take it when I give it to you. That’s it, go back to your house.
Go ahead."
Seeing that their father was already a little angry, Wenhui and Yueyue looked at each other, stuck out their tongues, did not dare to say anything more, stood up and walked out.
"Why are you still angry?" After the three children had gone out, Ding Qiunan grabbed her husband's hand and asked softly.
"It's not about being angry or not. The children are all good children and they are not crooked. I just don't want them to have any knots in their hearts."
"No, you have taught them very well since they were young, and the three of them grew up together, so there won't be any problems like that."
"I believe so too."
"Why did you think of talking about this today?"
"Alas..." Li Chu sighed and said, "Do you know that the old director of surgery in our hospital, Director Zhao, is no longer here?"...
"I know, it wasn't you who went to his house this morning."
"His two sons, their father's body was still cold, and they almost got into a fight over the little inheritance left by Lao Zhao."
"What? Is there such a thing? I didn't hear a sound."
"Afraid of the negative impact, Lao Du issued a hush order at that time."
"Is that why you just said that?"
"Otherwise, look at when I have said this before."
"My dear, don't think too much. People like Lao Zhao's son are in the minority after all, and I believe our children will not become like them."
Less?
Li Chu didn't know either, but in later generations, there were many cases of brothers fighting against each other, couples getting divorced, and children being unfilial due to a small amount of family property.
Especially in a city like Sijiucheng where every inch of land is at a premium, where a bigger house costs millions, who is willing to give up easily?
But that old Zhao was really good at saving money. I don’t know how much he spent. Anyway, he still had a deposit of nearly 8,000 yuan in his passbook.
In this era when every household worth ten thousand yuan can be published in the newspaper, eight thousand yuan is a huge sum of money.
If a retired employee is willing to buy the house allocated by the steel factory, he can buy a 60-square-meter three-bedroom apartment for only 2,000 yuan. You can imagine the power of 8,000 yuan.
However, the two brothers, including the two wives, were really a bit disrespectful. You could start a quarrel when the leaders were present. No wonder Lao Du's face was livid with anger at that time.
"I know they won't become like that. I just thought, no matter what happens to them, as parents, we must first balance the bowl of water and never favor one or the other."
"That's for sure!" Ding Qiunan rested his head on his man's shoulder and continued: "Both of them are my flesh and blood, how could I favor one over the other."
She didn't want to continue this topic, so she changed the subject and continued: "Oh, what a pity, why is Yueyue not pregnant with twins? Every family member has two children."
As early as the Chinese New Year, she couldn't help herself and asked her husband to take her daughter-in-law's pulse to see if Yueyue was pregnant with twins again.
Unfortunately, this time it didn't go as she wished. There was only one baby in Yueyue's belly, which made her feel lost for several days.
Li Chu was actually quite disappointed. Who doesn’t want to have more children and more happiness?
Neither of them knew the reason. Ever since Wenhui and Wenxuan were born, they had never been pregnant again. It was because Ding Qiunan had been pregnant with her for more than 20 years.
Now that my son's generation has encountered such a policy, who can do anything about it?
"Each one has its own advantages. At least you don't have to worry about not being able to hold it, and you don't have to worry about the one crying and the other making trouble."
"Pfft..." Ding Qiunan became happy when she heard this. She thought of when Wen Hui and Wen Xuan were young, the two of them were hungry together and cried together. Fortunately, there were people to help her during the day and also at night.
Her husband is here, otherwise she would be busy to death.
"But when we have more children, the house becomes lively. Think about it. From now on, six adults will look after one child. It will be easier if the relationship is good, otherwise we will have to fight over who is watching the child."
"It's okay. Our family won't be involved in this problem. The place at home is big. Let Junzi and Qiaoyun also move in when the time comes. Oh, and Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang both live here, so there's no need to rob it."
"Then we must fight for it. If you want to hold the baby, I also want to hold the baby."
Li Chu has no choice now. What can he do? He can't let his son and daughter-in-law violate the policy. That will cause problems.
But he also had a solution, which was to pick up his wife and go take a shower without discussing this fruitless topic.
