Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1424 Lazy Wife 41
If the houses of the Chen brothers and the old couple had not been demolished, they would have been able to get a share in the future. Otherwise, they would have been really jealous of the Linlang family. After all, how much money would it cost for the Linlang family to have such a big house?

Although Linlang didn't say it, since their two families had demolished their houses, they could more or less guess that Linlang's family received an astronomical figure in compensation.

If Linlang had not built the house several years ago, they would really have to doubt whether Linlang knew that this place was going to be demolished and deliberately built it so high and with so much space.

So this is Linlang's foresight. He knew that if the construction time was too close, others would be suspicious, so he built it several years in advance, and now no one finds it strange.

Of course, the main reason was that the old couple were old at that time, and they had to come back to visit them frequently. They had no house in the countryside, and it was inconvenient to live in the old couple's house. They really needed to build a house. It was a rigid demand, so no one would doubt it. Otherwise, if nothing happened and they suddenly built a house, even if they built it a few years in advance, some people might doubt whether they knew the future development in advance and then became suspicious.

As it is now, everyone can only think that Linlang and his wife are lucky.

Even so, many people have become jealous. After all, many people have spread rumors that Linlang's family received tens of millions from the demolition. It would be strange if people were not jealous. After all, tens of millions is still a lot of money at this time.

Actually, no, but there are several million. After all, Linlang’s house is large and has many floors. It would be difficult to explain if it was built higher and bigger, otherwise Linlang would have built it higher and bigger.

Although several million were divided, Linlang's house was beautiful before, and now it has to be demolished. They will definitely have to rebuild it again, and build a five-and-a-half-story one. Including the decoration, it is not cheap according to the current price, so it is reasonable to give several million in compensation. Otherwise, Linlang's house will have to be rebuilt and renovated, which will cost a lot of money. With less money, who would be willing to demolish it? After all, rebuilding and renovating is so troublesome.

Although Linlang felt that she only made a small profit, in the eyes of outsiders, it was a huge profit. After all, not to mention the 10 million in the rumor, just the several million was an astronomical figure for people at that time. After all, the average house price in the provincial capital was less than 5,000, and the province where her original body was located was considered to be a province with better economic conditions in the country.

In the capital of a province with relatively good economic conditions, the average house price is less than five thousand. Having several million is not an astronomical figure. No wonder others are jealous. They all wonder why Linlang's family is so lucky. Their house was demolished once many years ago, and now it is demolished again, but their family has never encountered demolition in their life.

Chen Lei listened to those people's discussions and wondered what these people would think if they knew that they had experienced many demolitions in the city and had accumulated a huge fortune.

However, over the years, he has understood the principle of not showing off one's wealth. So even though he is getting richer every year, Chen Lei has never told anyone that his family's assets have exceeded 100 million yuan. He just keeps a low profile and continues to save money.

Fortunately, the old couple are already very old. When they pass away, they will not return to their hometown, and they don’t have to worry about others being jealous of them.

Considering that the old couple may not come back after their death, the two decided not to continue building the five-and-a-half-story house in the countryside, so as to avoid waste. The money earned can be used to buy houses in big cities. Anyway, the foundation is there. If they want to build a house, they can come back to build it at any time, and it will not be taken back. After all, a family in the countryside can have a foundation. There is no need to worry about not building a house and having no place to live when they come back to visit the old couple, because after the old couple's house was demolished, they were given a foundation and several large flats were built. The large flats built now are fully equipped with modern facilities. Even if they go back, they are used to living there, so it is okay not to build.

The old couple was old after all, and they passed away about three years after their hometown was demolished again.

When Chen's father and mother saw the two sons-in-law of the first wife and their wives coming to ask for money, they did not wait for the first and second wives to mention writing a will and divided the money into various parts during their lifetime. This was to prevent the sons-in-law from coming to rob the money after they died and giving the Chen family's money to outsiders, which would make them very angry. They did not know how to write a will, so they simply divided the money among their three sons. Anyway, they just needed to keep some money on hand. Even the real estate certificate of the newly built large flat (houses in the countryside also have real estate certificates) was written with the names of the three sons, to prevent the sons-in-law from coming to rob the money and the house.

Anyway, the three sons all have houses to live in, so even if their names are written on the house, the three of them will not come to snatch their houses and drive them out.

It was actually the right thing to do, because the old couple had their houses demolished twice, and they had been doing manual labor before, and their expenses were not high, so they had saved up a lot of belongings over the years.

As the saying goes, money is a great attraction. Faced with so much money, few people would not be tempted. So even if the old couple's daughters are embarrassed to go home to ask for money, their husbands and sons want the money and have been looking forward to the old couple passing away so that they can get a share and make a fortune.

They always thought that the old couple were so stingy that they would definitely not divide the money during their lifetime, and would definitely divide it among everyone after their death, so that they could get a share according to modern inheritance laws.

They always thought that they were the only smart ones. The old couple were from the older generation and did not understand the inheritance law in the new society. They still thought it was traditional and that only the sons could get a share of the property after their death. They did not know that in the new society, the son-in-law's family could also get a share of the property, so they just waited silently.

As a result, when the old couple passed away, they rushed over and stared at the property, saying that no one was allowed to touch it. They asked everyone to count the property together. When they divided it equally, they found that the old couple did not have much money at all, and they could not get much. Instead, the news got out, and people said that the daughter came to her parents' home to grab the property, which was a bit shameless - the old couple's son-in-law was like the son-in-law of the eldest wife. It was obviously they who instigated the thing, but they stood aside and did not step forward, and only let the old couple's daughter take the lead in doing this. Therefore, others scolded the old couple's daughter, and no one scolded the instigator, the old couple's son-in-law.

When the eldest wife of the Chen family saw her uncle-in-law trying to steal the property, she became more and more wary that her son-in-law would also come to steal her property, so like Chen's father and mother, she hesitated for a long time and transferred most of her property to her two sons before she died, leaving only some coffin money to prevent her two sons from being unfilial and leaving her with no money to use or to treat her illness.

After all, they have saved much more money than the old couple. If they don’t share this much money with their two sons, when they die, their son-in-law will get a share. How much advantage will they take? They don’t want to work hard all their lives only to save money for their son-in-law’s family.

If the money is given to their daughter and her child has their own surname, then they have no objection. After all, the meat is cooked in their own pot, so it doesn't matter whether they give it to their son or daughter. However, they are unwilling to give the money to descendants with other surnames, as this will benefit them.
