Chapter 1186: Parental Heart

ched her daughter's little face, then gently picked up the child. Her gaze shifted and she saw a small crying baby by the side, with a card next to its feet. The card stated that the baby was born on...Old Man Xing had thought about this for a long time before making the decision. After all, they were all his sons, and within his capabilities, he wanted all three of them to live better lives. As the youngest sister said, at least they wouldn't hold them back.

Now the grandchildren are also getting older, everything they need – food, clothing, and education – costs money. As a grandfather, he doesn't have much ability to earn a living, but now that there is an opportunity to make money, he can't just watch his grandchildren go hungry.

Their village was relatively good, at least no one starved to death during the most difficult times. They say other places weren't as lucky as Fuyuan Village.

As for Lao Xing's decision, Lian Ri didn't argue. After all, he had provided her with a way to make money and taught her the method. Whether she could succeed depended on herself.

"Father, do they still plant crops in their village"

The ripples asked.

They are going to plant fewer.

Xing Lao Tou replied.

"Dad, I have something to discuss with you. After the college entrance exam, I got my admission notice. You should sell all the land and houses in the village and take Mom and me away together."

Ripple immediately said.

"Land can be sold, but the house cannot. This is the root of the Old Xing family."

Mr. Xing said.

"Dad, if you don't sell the house, aren't you afraid that once you and Mom are gone, they'll find an excuse to take it or sell it privately"

Liàn yǐ said purposely.

"Humph! They dare!"

Mr. Xing's voice rose, but it was clearly weak.

"You old man, what are you yelling at your daughter for Don't you know what kind of personalities your three sons have When we're gone, they won't even do this. Then, our youngest sister will have nothing."

Xíng's mother glared at her husband, saying unhappily.

Old Xing was subdued by his own wife. Lianyi immediately gave Old Mrs. Xing a thumbs up, this matter still needs the old lady to step in.

What do you mean

Mr. Xing asked.

"Either we sell it, and that's the end of it. Then the three of them won't bother us anymore, or we give the house to our youngest daughter. We'll have the village head write a deed later, so that after we're gone, the house will belong to her."

Xing's mother was able to think of the deed, also because these past six months living in the county town, she met many people and often interacted with teachers, broadening her horizons. This is what allowed her to come up with this idea.

Hearing his wife's words, Old Xing turned his head to look at Lian Yi, as if asking for her opinion.

After thinking for a moment, Lian Yi said:

"Mother and Father, the house belongs to both of you. You decide who inherits it. As your daughter, I have no objections."

But just like Mother said, when you two and I are gone, who knows what those three brothers might think of doing They might use Father's name to stop us from renting it out, then find some excuse to move in themselves. By then, will you and our parents even be able to come back here

Even if I concede and hand the house over to the village, there's still only a few years of rent. But after my father passes away, those documents won't help me claim the house.

Legally speaking, as the children of your parents, we all have inheritance rights. This house should be divided among the four of us siblings. However, you know in our village, there's never been a precedent of a married woman returning to divide property. That's why we left a document. I estimate we won't get anything.

Liàn Yī knows very well that in rural areas, a daughter-in-law has no inheritance rights. Now that laws and regulations aren't so widespread, this is taken for granted. She doesn't expect to change the villagers' ingrained ideas overnight.

"Yaomei is right, since we know this is the case, it's better to just sell the house."

Mrs. Xing completely believed her daughter's explanation. On the one hand, her daughter was the most educated in the family, and on the other hand, all the teachers at school praised her daughter for being smart and independent. In Mrs. Xing's mind, the school teachers were the most knowledgeable people, and what they said was always right. Besides, she couldn't imagine her own daughter deceiving them.

"Dad, if we leave with you, we'll need to find a new place to live. That will definitely cost money. Selling the house would give us money to go there and reduce the pressure. We could also have some left over to start a small business, which would ensure a steady income. This way, I can focus on my studies at school without worry."

Ripple brought up a reality that couldn't be ignored.

She was confident she could support her elderly in-laws, and her own future would only get better, but she didn't want her three selfish brothers to benefit from any of it.

She was well aware that once she reached a certain position, even if she did nothing, those people would flock to her side, using her name to gain personal advantage. She needed to nip these potential problems in the bud. Since she was going to leave, she might as well make a clean break.

Now that she has taken her parents away, the three families will not only not stop her, but they will also wholeheartedly approve. After all, as their parents get older and older, the three families will face the problem of supporting them in their old age. Supporting the elderly is not just about providing them with food, clothing, medical care, and medication, they have to bear all of it.

The ripples took the old couple away, and from now on, they could perfectly avoid the responsibility of supporting them in their old age. Especially since their parents had left all their money-making businesses to them, they definitely wouldn't stop their parents from leaving.

Ripple is grabbing onto that point and so persuades his parents relentlessly to leave completely.

"I'll think about this again."

Old Mr. Xing didn't refuse this time.

As people age, they often prefer to return to their roots. Besides, Xing Lao's lifelong friends and relatives are all in the village, so he was hesitant. Lian Yi understood this.

But what happened shortly after completely shattered Old Xing's desire to return to retirement.

This matter has to be told from when the three brothers left the county and returned to their village.

The three Xing brothers visited their parents this time. Although they didn't get the knack for making money, their father has loosened up and told them everything they need for setting up a stall, letting them prepare themselves. At least it proves that their parents are willing to teach them this small money-making business.

After Xing Dayong went back, he and He Cuicui closed the door and calculated the account, figuring out how much money was needed for the initial investment. After calculating again and again, it turned out to be over a hundred yuan. Both of them frowned.

Since the split, their lives had gradually gotten better. However, the two sons at home were just teenagers, the age where they eat a lot and need school supplies. Besides that, they didn't have much money saved up.

"Daya, if you hand over this one hundred yuan, we'll have no savings left at all."

He Cuicui took out the iron box where she kept her money and opened it for Xing Dayong to see.

Xing Dayong glanced at the money box and frowned. He knew how much money there was in the house, so he didn't need He Cuicui to lie about taking money back to her family.

"Da Yong, this doesn't seem profitable. Spending money before making any is unsettling for me. How about we take over our parents' stall directly They've been using it for so long, and the things are old. I think we should be able to get it with half the money."

He Cuicui immediately came up with a suggestion.

"Can this work Father and Mother rely on this stall to earn tuition for my younger sister!"

Xing Dayong said somewhat uncertainly.

"Your sister is young, and your parents are getting old. If they encounter those ruffians who stir up trouble, they wouldn't be able to handle them. A couple of times might be alright, but if it happens too many times, they would definitely be worn down. That's when we step in, wouldn't it be justified"

Have you figured out a way

He Cuicui immediately leaned in to Xing Dayong's ear and whispered something. my children back home.""Great!"Lanse and Lawrence returned to the car and said to Ripples:"Tell the tribe to break those people's limbs, and leave the rest for Saker.""Okay."After nodding, Ripples ge...
