Chapter 40 Yang's Mother and Zhang's Family
"Grandma, let's go home and stop making a fuss. Your younger cousins are all grown up; they can earn what they want themselves. Don't worry about them so much."
"Besides, these are my uncle's things, they have nothing to do with us or the Yang family, so there's no point in you coveting them," Xia Zhiheng advised.
"You make it sound so easy. Xingwang is only twenty-two this year and he still lives in the same room as your second cousin. How is he going to get married?"
"My mother has given you a lot of money over the years to demolish the house and rebuild it. Two houses will be built, one for each of my two uncles, so that Xingwang and his family will have houses to get married."
Zhiheng thought that if he didn't have enough money, he could borrow some. The Yang family's house was about 200 square meters, and 100 square meters would be enough for each family. He really didn't know what his two uncles were thinking; there used to be housing available at the factory that could be applied for.
As a result, both uncles were afraid that the other would take over the old house, so they refused to apply for a house. Now the housing situation is even more tight, and they can't even get one if they want one.
"No, we don't have any money. Ask your mother to help us pay for building a house. If we have a place to live, I won't cause any trouble."
Yang's mother had also considered building a house, but the money her daughter gave her had all been taken by her eldest grandson to start a business. She now lives on fifty yuan a month, so where would she get the money to build a house?
The eldest and second sons don't know if they can come up with five thousand yuan; the Yang family's hopes have always rested on their daughter.
"Mom, I don't have any money either. You've borrowed all my salary from the past few years."
"What do you mean by 'borrow'? That's the money you gave me as a token of your respect."
Yang Yunxia looked at her mother in disbelief, but Wang Fengxian didn't even glance at her.
"Xia Guoan, are you going to give me the money or not? If you don't, I'm going to kill myself here."
Lin Weidong stared at Xia Guoan. All his money belonged to Xiao Chu; he'd better try agreeing. Xia Guoan, seeing his brother-in-law's menacing look, dared not agree.
"No."
As Xia Guoan finished speaking, Wang Fengxian really wanted to bang her head against the wall. She knew that if she didn't get the money today, she would never have another chance.
So she hardened her heart and banged her head against the wall, believing that if she died in the Xia family, her two daughters-in-law would understand her intentions, come to the Xia family and make a scene, demanding money and a house from them.
Fortunately, Xia Yichu reacted quickly and pulled her back. Everyone was stunned by Wang Fengxian's actions; they never expected that she would actually do what she said about hitting a wall.
"Mom, don't scare me."
Yang Yunxia hugged her mother and cried bitterly. Her father had passed away when she was fifteen, and it was her mother and she who held up the family. They worked hard to raise her two younger brothers, sending them to school and finding them jobs.
Her mother wasn't like this before; she only became petty and prone to tantrums after her father passed away. Later, she realized that if her mother hadn't acted this way, they, as a widow and orphan, would definitely have been bullied.
So, before getting married, she secretly vowed to give her mother and younger brother a good life.
"Daughter! I really have no choice. You know, none of your nephews have proper jobs. Your two younger brothers have lived mediocre lives, without any real skills."
"If I don't think about my grandchildren, what will become of them? I won't be able to die in peace."
Yang Yunxia softened when she saw her mother like this. Actually, she was also very worried about her nephews. She had found them jobs and paid them, but they were not living up to her expectations, and there was nothing she could do.
"Mom, I..."
"Grandma, that's not how it works. My cousins don't have money, so they should earn it themselves. How can they covet my uncle's things? They earned their money themselves."
Xia Zhiheng was afraid that his mother would agree to some unreasonable request from his grandmother, so he immediately interrupted her.
"Xiao Heng, you have a good job and a wife, it's easy for you to talk when you're not in his shoes. Yunxia, Xingwang has a girlfriend, but he's afraid she'll look down on him, so he doesn't dare bring her home."
Wang Fengxian played the emotional card with her daughter, feigning pitifulness. Xia Zhiheng felt helpless; he had a job, earned through his own hard work.
Several times, Zhiqian wanted Xingwang to join the army, but his grandmother said it was dangerous and wouldn't let him go. Zhiqian also wanted Xingwang and Xingyu to learn how to drive a truck, but his grandmother wouldn't allow it either, saying driving was dangerous.
He can't do this, he can't do that, and he can't even study. Does he expect a windfall? Oh, wait, no, his grandmother is scheming to get his uncle and mother's money.
"Really, Xingwang has a partner, that's great!"
"What's so good about it? Xingwang is still living in the same room as his younger brother Xingsheng. That girl must have been blind to marry him, so what are we going to do now?"
"Mom, why don't we rent him a place to live first, and then buy or build a house later when we have more money?"
"Wait, wait, wait! By the time we finish, it'll be too late. Yunxia, I won't make things difficult for Xia Guoan. How about this, you go and borrow money for us to build a house, and we'll pay you back as soon as your nephews earn some money."
"Mom, where am I supposed to borrow so much money for you?"
Wang Fengxian looked at Xia Yichu, and the faces of the Xia family and the Lin family father and son darkened.
"Go borrow from Guoan's daughter. She's a student, a girl, and owns a house. She doesn't need to spend money right now. Go borrow from her. I won't borrow too much, 150,000 should be enough."
At that time, it will be the same as her daughter's family, with one grandson per floor. If we add in the cost of buying things, it will cost 200,000 yuan. The shortfall can be asked for from the two grandsons.
"Xiao Chu, look..."
Yang Yunxia actually thought her mother's words made some sense; it was just a loan, not a loan that wouldn't be returned.
"Mom, are you crazy?" Xia Zhiqian interrupted sharply. Did his grandmother look like someone who could repay the money?
"No lending"
This little bitch actually said she wouldn't lend it, not that she didn't have any, but it seems she definitely has a lot of money on her hands.
"Xiao Chu, please help me, have pity on this old man, I'll kneel down for you."
Yang's mother actually knelt on the ground, and Xia Yichu immediately dodged away. The Lin family father and son were furious and pulled Xia Yichu away. Xia Zhiheng and Xia Zhiqian each supported one side of their grandmother and helped her up.
"Wang Fengxian, I'll fight you to the death! You're trying to shorten my granddaughter's lifespan!"
"Grandma, you can't hit her anymore. Don't be angry, I'll take my grandma away now."
Xia Zhiheng was also angry, but with his grandmother like this, if the fight continued, something bad might happen. The Yang family would definitely come knocking, which wouldn't do the Xia family or Xiao Chu any good.
"I'm not leaving. I won't go home until I get the money."
After speaking, Wang Fengxian lay flat on the ground, this time without crying or making a fuss.
"Guoan, how about lending me some money? Don't worry, I'll send the money to Xiao Chu as soon as I get my salary every month."
"mom"
Xia Zhiqian was speechless. In fact, he had earned quite a bit of money over the years, but only his grandparents knew that he had made a lot. His grandmother told him to be careful and not to tell his mother, lest the Yang family take notice.
"Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to lend you the money, but I gave it to Xiao Chu, and she can decide what to do with her own money."
"Mom and Dad, my mom has had a tough time. I know I'm useless and haven't been able to give her a good life. Please help me, lend me some money to build a house for my mom. I will pay you back."
Grandma Xia wanted to speak, but Grandpa Xia wouldn't let her. Their eldest daughter-in-law had treated them well over the years and had never asked them for favors, so they couldn't refuse.
"Yunxia, your mother and I have saved some money over the years, not much. I'll give you ten thousand yuan, you don't need to pay it back."
"No, ten thousand is too little, at least fifty thousand," Wang Fengxian said, sitting up.
"Mother-in-law, our monthly pension is only so much. Giving us 10,000 is already quite a lot."
"You don't have one, but you still have a son, don't you?"
Yang Yunxia now felt that her mother had gone too far. Her father-in-law was willing to give her 10,000 yuan without having to pay it back, which she thought was more than enough.
"Grandma, either I'll take you home now, or if my cousin gets into trouble in the future, don't come to me. If you do, I'll take him to jail."
Xia Zhiheng knew he couldn't let his grandmother continue making a scene, lest she get seriously injured. He'd let her fuss for so long to let his mother see her true character. It seemed to be having little effect; his grandmother would cry a few times, and his mother would soften again.
"Xia Zhiheng!" Wang Fengxian stood up and angrily called out her grandson's name.
"Grandma, are you coming or not?"
Yang Yunxia turned her face away, ignoring her mother.
"Qingyan, let's go home."
"Wait a minute, I'll go with you."
Mother Yang knew that her grandson was a man of his word, and Xingwang and Xingyu were always a handful. Last month, her eldest grandson had just been arrested, and it was only through her eldest grandson's financial compensation and connections that he was released.
Without their eldest grandson's help, they'll be arrested sooner or later. What use are money and houses if their grandson gets arrested?
