Chapter 175 Aren’t You Asking Why?
Director Sun is both a neighbor of the He family and the leader of the steel factory, so it is most appropriate to invite him to witness. The remaining few are also highly respected people in this area.
Director Sun actually doesn't want to get involved in these family affairs, but since people think highly of him, he can't refuse. But now that he's here, he still has to say: "Lao He, have you thought about it?"
He Sanqiang looked around at the people in the room: "The tree is branching, and the people's family is divided. My child's mother and I are getting older, and we don't have the energy to take care of the whole family anymore. After we separate the family, we, the old couple, can have some leisure time." , children can also be more free and casual.”
When Director Sun and several neighbors who testified saw He Sanqiang saying this, they all said a few words casually.
He Sanqiang said: "Everyone knows about the situation at home. There are five main rooms in the yard. The kitchen and utility room were temporarily built. Now we, the old couple, live in one main room, and the eldest and second eldest brother live in each room. There is one room, and the remaining two rooms are one where Lao Wu Yuejin and his nephews live, and one where Lao Si Yanqing lived before, but now his two granddaughters live there.
I, He Sanqiang, don't have much ability, but I still want to have a bowl of water, five main houses, and one for each of my four sons. The house your mother and I live in will be left to our family a hundred years from now. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the second daughter-in-law, Gao Yumei, stopped: "Dad, you just said that a bowl of water is equal, so how can we divide it so much? Why does the eldest brother's house have one more room than ours?
There is also the third child. He has no need for a house in the city. Now the machinery factory has clearly allocated a room to him, so why should he occupy one? "
He Sanqiang looked at the second daughter-in-law with sharp eyes: "Aren't you asking why? Just because the eldest son went to work very early to support the family and earn money. He only finished elementary school, and the younger brothers and sisters below, except for the elder who is no longer with us, Three, they all grew up with his help and support.
And your sister-in-law has given birth to two sons and a daughter to the He family in the past few years. She is filial to her parents-in-law, does not stir up trouble, and always thinks about the family. Why do you think so? "
He paused for a while and continued: "As for the third child, he has a room in the machinery factory, but that is his own ability. Although the third child did not grow up beside me, he is also my son, and He is still the son who I, He Sanqiang, owe the most to.
If he hadn't been sacrificed back then, it's up to two people whether the whole family would have survived. He left home at the age of six and came back at the age of seventeen. He stayed at home for less than a year and then went to the army. When he returned from another job, he went directly to the machinery factory. You say Why? "
Seeing that his father was really angry, He Jianguo quickly stood up and persuaded: "Dad, you don't know who Yumei is yet. Just ignore her and divide her up as you want."
As a result, the angry He Sanqiang directly changed the target: "Second brother, the street required that every family must have children go to the countryside. At that time, you were the only one in the family who met the conditions. Your eldest brother has a job and it is impossible for him to go to the countryside. The third child's household registration was then I haven't come back from your cousin's place. The fourth and fifth children are young and still in school. You were the only one who graduated from high school and was unemployed at home.
But my family members are scrimping on food and clothing every year to send you things, because they are afraid that you will have a hard time in the countryside. In order to let you return to the city as soon as possible, I retired from my post in advance and asked you to return to the city to take over the job. If I say something unpleasant, There are several children in the house, why should your family be the last to ask? "
This was a direct slap in He Jianguo's face. It wasn't that He Sanqiang didn't want to give face to his son, but that he had to explain it if he had anything to do, lest he listen to his wife's gossip in the future, come out to look for trouble, and ruin the brotherly relationship.
He Jianguo's face turned green and red, and he looked very ugly: "Dad, my son is unfilial and did not take care of the people in the house. I understand what you said and my son feels guilty."
After saying that, he pushed Gao Yumei next to him hard: "Apologise."
Gao Yumei pulled a face, but she also knew that she was too anxious, so she said reluctantly: "Dad, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I didn't know the previous situation at home, so I said those words, please." You forgive me."
He Sanqiang was not an unreasonable person. Regardless of whether his daughter-in-law truly knew her fault or was falsely apologizing, seeing that she had given in, most of his anger had dissipated. He took the teapot handed over by his wife Zhang Guizhi and took a few sips of water: "It's good that you know you're wrong. A family shouldn't be so fussy about it, not to mention that your second wife is still the one asking for benefits."
In one sentence, the second wife was determined.
He Jianguo also knew that his father was right. Although he went to the countryside, his family tightened their belts in those years and sent him things every now and then. In fact, his life in the countryside was no worse than theirs in the city. .
Not to mention that he took over his father's job. He really got the biggest benefit: "Dad, don't be angry, we all listen to you."
