Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 305 Dividing the Family Property

Jiang Moli then looked at the three brothers, Lu Defa, Lu Deqiang, and Lu Dehong, and said, “Uncles, I believe that each of you has your own difficulties, but that is not a reason for you not to support your elderly mother. Anyway, there are two options: either pay for Grandma to go to a nursing home, or contribute your time and effort to take care of her in turns. You can choose, and the minority shall obey the majority.”

After hearing her words, the brothers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Sending Zhu Huanghua to a sanatorium would undoubtedly be the easiest solution, but no one wanted to be the first to ask.

The idea of ​​raising children to provide for one's old age is deeply ingrained in people's minds these days. Sending the elderly to a nursing home is considered unfilial and easily leads to gossip.

"I'm not going to the nursing home!"

Zhu Huanghua's booming voice, like a broken gong, shattered the silence.

Although she is old, her mind is still sharp.

She could live with her own son and act like a senior citizen, but once she's in a nursing home, no one will care whether she lives or dies.

Jiang Moli chuckled and said, "Then let's go with the second option: each family will take turns supporting Grandma for three months. Uncles, would you like to decide by birth order or by drawing lots?"

Zeng Xiulan immediately said, "It will take some time for Xiaowei and the others to find a place to live and move out. I think we should arrange them from youngest to oldest. Mom will stay at Dezhao's house first."

The proposal was unanimously agreed upon by Lu Defa, Lu Deqiang, and Lu Dehong.

The minority obeys the majority.

Jiang Moli had no objections. She immediately took out a pen and paper, wrote down the agreement, and had the brothers sign and put their fingerprints on it to avoid any future disputes.

After agreeing on Zhu Huanghua's support, everyone continued to discuss the division of the family property.

Mr. Lu became disabled due to his work-related injury. In addition to providing him with food, clothing, and shelter, the organization also provides him with a monthly pension allowance.

The elderly couple were frugal people, and with the filial piety of their descendants, they managed to save up a sum of money.

There is over 7,000 yuan in cash in the savings account, several stacks of various receipts, a pile of medicinal herbs and nutritional supplements, about ten pieces of gold and silver jewelry, and three ancestral houses in the countryside.

Grandpa Lu came from humble beginnings, and Zhu Huanghua was also a typical rural woman. The couple's savings were accumulated slowly after Grandpa Lu retired from the military, and they were not substantial.

Older Lu Deping suggested, "Let's divide the things into five equal parts, one for each family, and Mom's expenses will come from these."

The fifth brother, Lu Dehong, said, "This is the savings that Mom and Dad have accumulated over their entire lives. Now that Dad is gone, it is only right that Mom should have it to rely on."

Zhu Huanghua found these words extremely apt.

Of all her sons, the fifth one was the most filial, always thinking of his mother's future, unlike the other good-for-nothings who only wanted to divide her money!
"no!"

Jiang Moli's objection drew all eyes to her.

Lu Dehong glared at her, "As a granddaughter-in-law, it's none of your business to talk about the family property!"

Jiang Moli: "I have a mouth, and I have to speak my mind. Everyone knows that Grandma favors you the most, Fifth Uncle. The things are in Grandma's hands, and who knows when you'll manage to get rid of them. Your whole family is living a life of luxury with this money, while we have to pay out of our own pockets to support our elders. Why should we?"

Jiang Moli's words truly reflected the thoughts of the other brothers.

They weren't unaware of what the fifth brother was planning, but they were too proud to expose him out of brotherly affection.

Previously, everyone wished Jiang Moli would shut up, but now they all hope she will talk more.

When his secret was exposed in public, Lu Dehong hated Jiang Moli to the core.

Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents; the entire family of the fifth branch of the family also harbored disgust and hatred towards Jiang Moli.

If one prospers, all prosper; if one suffers, all suffer. If this money really ends up in the fifth branch of the family, they will all be able to have a share.

"Disdain value +9, 90000 yuan credited."

"It's my money, I can give it to whomever I want, it's none of your business to interfere!"

Zhu Huanghua angrily picked up her cane and stabbed Jiang Moli.

Lu Cheng caught the cane with quick reflexes and yanked it away, saying, "Grandma, this cane is too heavy, let me help you carry it."

Zhu Huanghua was panting heavily, but could only stare helplessly. Jiang Moli cut to the chase, "Grandma, do you mean to give all your and Grandpa's money to Fifth Uncle? Is that what you mean? Since all the uncles are here, please give us a straight answer so we don't waste any more time."

Zhu Huanghua's lips trembled.

It's true that she favors the fifth son, but if she were to give all the money to him, it would inevitably hurt the feelings of the eldest, third, and fourth sons, and they would probably all abandon her in the future.

"You guys figure it out yourselves, I'm not going to interfere anymore!" she said angrily, letting go of his hand.

Jiang Moli chimed in, "Actually, Uncle Wu's suggestion is also feasible; it would be best if the family property remained in Grandma's hands."

Lu Dehong's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets: "Why didn't you agree earlier?!"

The other brothers were also confused by Jiang Moli, not understanding what she was up to.

"Grandma keeps the passbook as her retirement fund. However, she is getting old and her mind is not clear, so the passbook is kept by the person supporting her. Grandma's monthly expenses are paid from her retirement fund. Every expense is accounted for, and it is clear how much money is spent each month and how much money is left in the passbook."

The proposal was unanimously approved by the brothers.

It's fair and just, and no one loses out.

As agreed, Zhu Huanghua went to stay at Lu Dezhao's house first.

After cleaning up Old Master Lu's belongings and packing Zhu Huanghua's luggage, Lu Dezhao took Zhu Huanghua back to Rongcheng.

With a large family of about twenty people, it was inconvenient to travel by train, so Lu Dezhao chartered a minibus.

From the moment I boarded the bus, Zhu Huanghua started acting up.

One minute he'd complain of feeling dizzy and unwell, the next he'd want to get off the bus to pee, and then he'd say he was hungry and ask for steamed buns, causing quite a commotion.

What should have been a two-hour journey took more than five hours to complete.

It was already 8 p.m. when I got back to Chengdu.

The whole family was tired and hungry, so Lu Dezhao led them directly to a restaurant to eat, where they sat at two tables.

After the waiter finished announcing the menu, Lu Dezhao said ingratiatingly to Zhu Huanghua, "Mom, please order first. Order whatever you like."

Zhu Huanghua glared at An Hui and Jiang Moli with her donkey-like mouth and horse-like face, cursing: "You lazy old hags, with such stinky mouths, all you know how to do is spend money outside. I don't eat, I'm not hungry!"

Zhu Huanghua's outburst immediately created an awkward atmosphere at the table.

Jiang Moli said directly, "I'm not hungry. If you're not hungry, let's go for a walk."

Lu Cheng immediately understood, got up, helped Zhu Huanghua up, and said, "Come on, Grandma, let me help you go out for a walk to clear your head."

"Let me go, I won't leave."

Zhu Huanghua was petite and elderly, and her resistance was futile against Lu Cheng; she was quickly led out of the restaurant.

The whole family: "..."

It can still be like this! ?
Without the red and yellow flowers, the atmosphere was much more harmonious, and everyone ordered their favorite dishes.

Lu Dezhao ordered a camphor tea duck.

The duck was cut into two plates, one for each table.

Lu Dezhao picked up a duck leg from his table and gave it to Jiang Moli, saying, "Moli, you've worked hard today, eat more."

No one in the family was jealous of Lu Dezhao's favoritism.

Even Lu Tingting, who always loved to compete with Jiang Moli, watched silently without saying a word.

Jiang Moli was a force to be reckoned with today, not only protecting the interests of the sixth branch of the family but also dealing with the old lady.

The whole family admires Jiang Moli, their sister-in-law/third aunt.
