Chapter 969: Chapter 966: Heartfelt Laughter 4
Xu Xiaoya also responded, "Since Dad made a will, I’m not going to fight with you, I can’t win even if I do. Can’t we just let Mom live here for a few more years? After all, this house was earned through her hard work..."
The son was very displeased, "Mom, what do you mean by this?? I see you clearly don’t want to give us the house. You’re so old already; is it fun for you to live alone in such a big house? Why not give your grandson a little rent instead of wasting it?"
Xu Xiaoya remained calm, "Is it a waste for Mom to live a few more years in her own house?"
"Isn’t it? What’s an old person doing with such a big house? Renting it out could bring in one or two thousand a month, why not?"
The daughter-in-law also sneered, "So Mom, are you deliberately going against the old man’s last wishes?"
She simply pulled out the old man’s will, clear as day in black and white, like the Imperial Sword.
"I haven’t read much, and I can’t say any fancy words. But all I know is, ever since ancient times in the countryside, property is for the sons and grandsons. Nowadays, whose family doesn’t pay a large dowry for marriage? Which family doesn’t buy a house and a car? Back then, I didn’t mind your son being poor, and I worked hard to give you two grandsons. The grandsons bear the Xu surname, not my maiden name. They’re your Xu Family’s bloodline. Don’t we deserve two houses?"
The son also scoffed, "Mom, don’t get so confused by all this manipulation."
Both Xu Mom and Xu Xiaoya glanced at the slightly closed door. Outside were all the daughter-in-law’s family relatives.
It seemed that today, Xu Mom must leave, move out of her only place of shelter, or else the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Mom, give us your ID card and household registration book, I need to transfer the ownership quickly."
"One house for each of the two kids, fair and reasonable."
ID card, household registration book, must be handed over.
The age-old ugly customs of rural in-law and parent-child relationships finally laid bare.
After a long while, Xu Xiaoya stood up slowly and said, "Enough, enough, since Dad left a will, I can’t say much. Transfer the two houses to you. Mom will live with me from now on, and I’ll take care of her in her old age."
The sister-in-law exclaimed, "Sis, don’t act like you’re so noble. Mom living with you doesn’t mean she’s freeloading. Mom receives nearly a thousand yuan in farmer-to-citizen pension every month. How much can she eat by herself? Isn’t the rest benefiting you?"
Just for the sake of this thousand-yuan farmer-to-citizen pension, they planned to squeeze out the last bit of value.
The calculations left them feeling rather empty.
Xu Xiaoya said flatly, "Mom, let’s go."
Xu Mom had no choice but to stand up.
But the daughter-in-law reached out her hand, "Mom, where’s the household registration book and ID card? We need to transfer ownership before leaving, otherwise, it will be too troublesome later."
Xu Xiaoya stared at the faces of this couple.
Truly, the brother and father looked almost identical.
A long time ago, she had lost all feelings for them.
Xu Xiaoya said calmly, "To reimburse some hospital expenses, Mom’s ID card needs to be used for a few more days. As soon as the reimbursement is done, we’ll give it to you."
The couple was half convinced.
Xu Xiaoya grew impatient, "Dad’s will is in your hands, what are you worried about?? Mom can’t just vanish into thin air??? Filing the reimbursement won’t take more than a few days. At worst, you can wait at the social security office, once it’s done, I’ll give it to you."
