Chapter 987 The Best Family 114
The reason why Mr. Sun and Mrs. Sun did not take the initiative to give the money, but asked Mr. Sun and Mrs. Sun to bring up this matter, was also what Linlang said. She said that they should not give too much money, otherwise Mr. Sun and Mrs. Sun would think that the first house was eager for them to leave. Don't turn around and threaten the first house, saying that they would not leave unless the first house gave them enough money. After all, the shameless things the old couple did to the first house in the past - referring to the fact that they made big promises for the first house and asked the first house to support the second house, and when the second house became rich, they would kick them away, and the old couple didn't say a word, nor did they say a few good words for them - they would do such a thing for the second house. So at this moment, no matter how happy Mr. Sun and Mrs. Sun were, they didn't show their joy and take the initiative to say that they would give them a large sum of money, but waited for the old couple to speak.

Anyway, according to Linlang's prediction, it is impossible for the old couple to return empty-handed. They sold all the land in their hometown back then. If they return empty-handed now, they will not be able to survive.

Since the old couple would always ask them for money, they naturally didn't have to give it actively. They just had to wait for them to ask.

Apparently Linlang guessed right, because at this moment, the old couple really brought up the issue of money.

"Your brother didn't agree with us going back and tried to persuade us for a long time. We insisted on going back, so he got angry and threatened that if we didn't go back, he would support us in our old age. But if we insisted on going back, he wouldn't give us a penny."

"But we can't really go back empty-handed, so Boss, can you give us some money so that we can go back? It would be great if we can at least have food to eat."

Seeing that the old couple was actually asking for money on their own initiative, Master Sun couldn't help but sneer, thinking that these two people were really biased. If they couldn't get money from Master Sun Er, they would ask their own family for money. When the second branch drove their first branch out and made the division agreement, it didn't say so. At that time, they were asked to pay some food a year like other people in the countryside to support their retirement. After all, they were extremely poor at that time and could probably only afford some food a year to support their retirement.

As a result, now that he has become rich and the old couple are going back to live in their old age, the second son has become stingy and even lets him pay for their retirement expenses alone. He even makes such high-sounding excuses. Isn't it because the old couple were useful to him in Beijing, so he has to support them? But after they go back, they will be of no use to him, so he doesn't want to support them anymore?
In the past, he might have really believed his high-sounding words, but after being driven out by him and coming to his senses, Master Sun realized that the second brother would only flatter useful people and would ignore useless people.

If the old couple go back now, they will be of no use to the second son, so the second son doesn't want to raise him anymore. But he is afraid that others will say he is unfilial, so he found such an excuse. He is as shameless as ever.

However, because the eldest wife had originally intended to give them money, Master Sun did not refuse, but he did not agree immediately. He only said, "You suddenly want to go back and ask us for money. No matter what the matter is, it is a big deal. We have to discuss it first before we talk about this matter."

The old couple did not object, and they moved into the main house right away, waiting for the main house to come up with a result.

Needless to say, the eldest wife would naturally be willing to give it.

The reason why the second house did not intend to give Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun a penny, but the first house was willing to give them, was very simple.

Firstly, they planned to give the money not to Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun, but to the two younger sisters' families. If they didn't give it anyway, the two families would come to ask for money from time to time. If they gave it, they would be rich now and would not feel embarrassed to ask for money all the time. In this way, they would save some money. Compared with what the eldest wife gave when they came to ask for money, it would not be much more.

Secondly, the first wife is so prosperous. If they ignore the old couple who have returned to their hometown like the second wife, it will definitely not be a good thing for them if it gets out, so it is better to take care of them. Don’t talk about how the old couple treated them in the past. In this era, filial piety is a natural thing. No matter how bad your parents are to you, you can’t complain or ignore them. If it gets out, even if others privately say that Grandpa Sun and Madam Sun treat the first wife of the Sun family too badly, on the surface they will still follow the current worldview and accuse them of not supporting their parents, which is obviously not what the first wife wants to see.

Thirdly, it was Linlang’s plan to send the old couple back home. Naturally, she couldn’t let them run back just because they couldn’t make it in their hometown and fail.

Compared to the old couple in the capital, who would come to visit from time to time with Master Sun Er, which annoyed the eldest wife, it would naturally be better to spend some money and make them disappear from their sight. The eldest wife also understood this, so when they saw the old couple were going back, they were happy and willing to spend money.

After a while, the people in the eldest house pretended that they had reached an agreement and told the old couple the results of the discussion.

When the old couple heard that Grandpa Sun said that when they returned, he would let his two daughters take care of them, and then Grandpa Sun would give them money to take care of the elderly, they immediately began to object and said, "Just give the money to us, why give it to them? Giving so much money to their family, isn't it just giving away money to outsiders?"

If the eldest brother could give them five taels a month, they wouldn't be able to spend much, and they would definitely have a lot left to give to the tight-fisted second brother. How great that would be.

As soon as Master Sun saw what they said, he knew what they were thinking. After all, Linlang had mentioned that the old couple might just want to take the money for themselves and give it to the second wife. He was immediately chilled and said coldly, "My money, I can give it to whoever I want. Besides, you are so old, it is definitely not okay to have no one to take care of you. If something happens, people will scold us for being unfilial. I don't care whether you are willing or not, anyway, I will talk to my two sisters about this. In this way, I have fulfilled my filial piety, and you can't say anything about us. If you don't like me giving money to my two sisters and letting them take care of you, you just don't have to accept their care."

As soon as Master Sun finished speaking, he asked a steady and reliable steward to take a few servants to escort the old couple back to their hometown without listening to their nonsense anymore.

When Old Master Sun and Old Lady Sun saw that Master Sun didn't listen to them at all and took them away directly, they were naturally furious. After all, in their opinion, it was completely different when the money was in their hands and when it was in the homes of their two sons-in-law.

Once the money goes to the two sons-in-law's homes, they will definitely have nothing to do with it. How can this be possible?

He couldn't help but curse out loud in anger.

But they didn't dare not go back because the dreams they had were becoming more and more terrifying. So no matter how angry they were, they had no choice but to leave, thinking only about how to get the money back from their two sons-in-law after they returned.
