Lao Chen is 69 years old, with a pension of 2,300 yuan, and now lives in the house bought by his daughter.
He has been living here for almost three years, and his daughter comes to see him on weekends to prepare food for him, buy fruit and daily necessities, and he almost does not have to buy these himself.
Except for the Chinese New Year, his son basically won't come to see him, and Lao Chen has long been used to it, and he has long lost hope for this son.
On this day, he came home after playing chess with Lao Li and made himself a bowl of noodles, which contained eggs and vegetables, which were very light and his favorite taste.
At this moment, someone rang the doorbell and asked him to open the door of the unit, and he wondered why his son came at this time.
He opened the door and went back to the table to eat, and at the same time there was a series on the TV, which was a period drama, and he liked to watch it very much.
Son Chen Xiaowei and daughter-in-law walked in, carrying a few apples in their hands, and said: Dad, Xiaochun and I came to see you, you see, I also bought you apples, which are very crisp and sweet.
Lao Chen glanced at it, didn't speak, and when he looked at the apple, he knew that he definitely couldn't bite it, and his son still needed to say it if he didn't care about it?
After Chen Xiaowei sat down, he looked at the noodles in his bowl and said: Dad, why do you eat so lightly, at your age, you have to be kind to yourself and eat more nutritious things.
Lao Chen hummed lightly, he was actually very tired of this kind of filial piety that was only put on his lips, what was the point, he was so old, did he still like a child, he liked to listen to these good things?
Daughter-in-law Xiaochun was very unhappy when she saw Lao Chen so cold, glared at Chen Xiaowei, and asked him to say directly, stop talking nonsense.
Chen Xiaowei saw that Lao Chen had finished eating, and said, "Dad, we came here today to discuss something with you."
Lao Chen frowned and looked at him and said, "What's the matter?."
Chen Xiaowei: Dad, Chen Sheng talked about a partner, he is getting married, the woman asks for a house, we think that you will give him this house, you go back to the old house to live, Xiaochun and I have cleaned up for you, you can just move over.
Lao Chen couldn't believe his ears, Chen Xiaowei was also 48 years old, how could he bring up such a ridiculous thing.
He was a little angry and said: Xiaowei, you should know that this house is not mine, it is Xiaorou's, although she let me live in it, but she bought it for 1.2 million.
Xiaowei: Dad, I'm your son, why should you lie to me, although this is bought by Xiaorou with money, but your name is on the house book, that is yours, I am your son, the house should have been inherited by the son, no one can say anything.
Lao Chen was almost out of breath, so he quickly reached out and took a few pills and swallowed them directly.
Lao Chen took a deep breath for a while before he spoke: Chen Xiaowei, I'm not dead yet, and I can't talk about inheritance yet, when I die, you can enjoy your inheritance rights.
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the door, and said in a dumb voice: Get out, get out of here now, and don't come again until I die.
Before Chen Xiaowei could speak, Xiaochun was already furious, pointed to Lao Chen's nose and said: Dad, you are 69 years old, you can live for a few years, what are you doing in such a good house?Ke Shengsheng is only 25 years old, it is the time when you need a house to get married, you, as his grandfather, don't take the initiative to help and don't say, we all came to beg you, you are still so uninteresting, are you old and confused?
Lao Chen began to stroke his chest again, he really didn't understand, why was there such a big gap between the two children, he really regretted that the one who left early was his wife, not him.
Chen Xiaowei and his wife didn't seem to be able to see his discomfort at all, Chen Xiaowei said: Dad, Xiaorou's conditions are so good, she doesn't care about this money at all, since she gave you the house, it is yours, and you look at me, Xiaochun and I, two people, with a monthly income of less than 10,000, how to buy a house for Shengsheng, he is surnamed Chen, and he is your grandson.
Lao Chen looked at him and said: Xiaowei, Xiaorou's conditions are good and hers, it has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with you, if you really can't afford to buy a house for Shengsheng, then you let him work hard by himself, instead of thinking about taking advantage of others.
Koharu: Dad, what nonsense are you talking about, when did we take advantage?You are the ascending grandfather, he is your grandson, and you should have helped him.
Hmph, besides, Xiaorou is Xiaochun's own sister, her conditions are so good, and she never thought of helping her own brother, but she is really a good daughter raised by you.
Lao Chen really didn't want to speak, he didn't know what to say anymore, indeed, his daughter's conditions were better, but she was also a civil servant, and she was not a big boss, although her in-law's conditions were good, but that was not a reason why she could help her brother, besides, how could it be considered help?
When Chen Sheng went to college, Xiaorou gave him the annual tuition fee, and gave him 1,000 yuan per month for living expenses, isn't this enough?
At that time, Lao Chen was a little worried, afraid that his son-in-law would be dissatisfied with his daughter, but Xiaorou said: It's okay, Dad, we are all happy to be promoted to university, I am an aunt, it is not right to help him, don't worry about it, I know it in my heart.
Xiaorou has done so much, but in the eyes of her son and daughter-in-law, she still hasn't helped, which is really chilling.
Lao Chen could only say weakly: Xiaowei, although this house is in my name, but I have already done a notarization, and when I lived here, I pulled Xiaorou to do a notarization, and this house was paid for by her, and it was hers.
Chen Xiaowei glared at him and said, "Dad, how can you do this?"You've been guarding against me for a long time?Are you still my dad?Are you going too far?
Lao Chen smiled bitterly and said: Hehe, in fact, I didn't want to guard against you, I was just scared by watching others fight for property, but what you did today shows that this is the right thing to do.
Chen Xiaowei was very angry, really angry, he and Xiaochun had planned well, and they all told the woman's family, now that there is no house, what should they do?
Xiaochun began to play scoundrel and said: Dad, I don't care if it's notarized or not, I just know that this house must be promoted, you move out quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude.
Lao Chen smiled, he really smiled, no one knew how bitter he was in his heart, what he saw was the smile on his wrinkled face, maybe a little infiltrating.
He is 69 years old, and he was threatened by his daughter-in-law to be rough with himThis is a joke for everyone, can he not laugh?
Lao Chen laughed a few times and said: Hurry up, or I will call the police.
Koharu: Hehe, call the police, Dad, do you think I'll be scared?What can the police do when they come, at most it is to adjust, such a little family matter, do you think the police will take care of it?
Lao Chen looked at these two people, shook his head a little helplessly, and said: Xiaowei, Xiaochun, no matter what you do, this house is Xiaorou, go back, give each other a little face, and don't see each other if you can see each other in the future.
After saying that, he went back to his room and went to sleep, if they wanted to stay, let it stay, Lao Chen felt that at least with their character, they couldn't do anything to harm his life.
Chen Xiaowei and Xiaochun looked at each other, although what they said was powerful, but what they really wanted to do, they didn't have the ability or intelligence.
Xiaochun scolded angrily: Chen Xiaowei, you are really useless, even your father looks down on you, what use can you talk about?
After saying that, she walked out angrily, and she didn't know what else to do if she didn't go.
Lao Chen heard the sound of the door closing and knew that they were gone, so he got up and sat by the window, looking at the lights of Wanjia that had been lit.
Chen used to live in his old house, where he and his wife got married, had two more children, and worked together to raise them and provide them with education.
But 4 years ago, his wife left suddenly, but he fainted, but he never woke up, which made him very sad, he sat in the room alone all day, didn't want to go out, didn't want to eat.
Lao Chen felt empty in his heart, and when his wife was there, he didn't think she was very important, but after she left, he realized that his wife had always been the one he relied on the most.
At that time, his daughter often came to accompany him, cook for him, chat with him, and even lived in the old house with her son-in-law and accompanied him.
The son didn't care about him, and almost never came to see him, but he was very sad, he couldn't get out of the loss of not having a wife, and he couldn't remember whether his son had ever come.
After a while, my daughter saw that this was not going to work, so she spent money to buy him the house he lives in now.
The original community was too old, and it was very inconvenient for the elderly to live on the stairs, and more importantly, the daughter didn't want him to see things and think about people, so let him change the environment and live a good life.
After moving to this community, Lao Chen did feel a lot more relaxed, and one day chatting and playing chess with the old people in the community, he felt that such a day was already good.
Besides, he doesn't want his daughter to worry, during this time, his daughter has spent all her time with him and unleashing him except for work, he can't be so selfish, and his daughter has her own life.
When chatting with the old man, Lao Li sighed and shook his head, saying that Lao Huang passed away some time ago, and now his son and daughter are upside down because of the house quarrel, and their old mother has been kicked out, and they are going to sell the house for a cent.
Lao Li said: Hey, we are all old, we still have to arrange a way back for ourselves, let's write a will, so as not to feel at ease when we leave.
A group of people are very embarrassed, thinking that it is so difficult to be old, but many of them listened to it and left a will.
And Lao Chen felt that the old house was really not worth much, but the house he lived in now, although his daughter bought it, but his name was on the house book, he couldn't let his daughter suffer because of this, let alone make her feel cold.
Therefore, although her daughter disagreed, Lao Chen still pulled her to do a notarization, this house is her daughter's, and no one wants to interfere.
At that time, Lao Chen actually didn't expect that he would encounter these things, which really disappointed him.
Lao Chen is dead set on his son, what else can he expect from such a son, he has already made a decision, his old house will be left to his daughter, and he will not give his son 1 point.
Lao Chen has a pension of 2,300 yuan per month, he can live alone enough, and in fact, a lot of daily necessities, his daughter has bought him well, he doesn't need a lot of money at all, for the elderly, the commonly used medicines, also prepared for him.
Lao Chen thought about it a lot, but he couldn't sleep, he smiled bitterly, it was not good to sleep, it seems that he doesn't want to sleep tonight.
However, this is not a big deal, and at this age, insomnia is also very common for them.
Lao Chen tossed and turned on the bed, thinking about what he had to do to leave the old house to his daughter.
Now that he has heard more, he also knows that the old house still has a son, but such a white-eyed wolf's son and ungrateful daughter-in-law, he just doesn't want to do what they want.
Lao Chen didn't know when he fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was almost 8 o'clock, so he packed up and went out for a spin, and then had breakfast.
In the shop where he often eats breakfast, he met Lao Li, and the two of them sat down to eat together.
Lao Chen eats wontons, Lao Li eats somen noodles, Lao Chen suddenly said: Lao Li, I have an old house, I want to leave only my daughter alone, but I heard that it is not possible to leave a will, there is also my son's share, what good way do you have?
Lao Li looked at him in surprise and said: You really don't want to give your son a little bit, what did he do to make you so ruthless?
Lao Chen: Hey, I actually don't want my daughter to be cold, she is thinking about me as a father, and I also want her to know that I can see her dedication.
Lao Li sighed and said: Hey, it would be good if Lao Zhao had your enlightenment, and he wouldn't be at this age, he was kicked out by her daughter, and I heard that his son didn't let him go home to live, so he could only rent a house.
Lao Chen asked very strangely: What's going on?Even if you do something wrong, you won't do it, after all, it's all a family.
Lao Li: The house he lives in, like you, was also bought by his daughter, but he actually wanted to sell it to his son to pay off his debts, I heard that his son was hooked on a female anchor and rewarded more than 600,000 yuan, not only lost the family's savings, but also borrowed more than 200,000 usury, and now people are coming to the door, and his son said that if he doesn't give money, he will jump off the building.
Lao Chen frowned and listened, hey, how can there be such a child, when he heard this, he felt that Xiaowei was reliable.
Lao Li continued while eating: Lao Zhao only has a pension of more than 600 a month, and he was sick again last year, so how can he still have money in his hand, but his son wants to jump off the building, and he can't see death without help, so he thought about selling the house first, paying off his son's foreign debts, and asking his son to write an IOU to his daughter, even if the money was borrowed by his son.
However, Lao Zhao was confused, he knew that the house was not his, but he still had to make his own decisions, and he didn't discuss it with his daughter.
When her daughter found out, she got angry and said that since he didn't want to live in this house, let him move out and stop caring about him in the future.
His son is like that, do you think you will pay attention to him?I didn't let him in at all, I heard that in a very broken alley, I rented a small single room, and I picked up bottles everywhere every day to live.
After hearing this, Lao Chen frowned and said: Although I also think he is pitiful, I don't agree with his approach at all, so I can only say that I did it myself.
Lao Li nodded and said: Yes, his daughter was very filial, often came to see him, and took him on trips.
Actually, if you want me to say, he and his son should discuss it with her daughter, maybe she will be willing to help, but, hey, they made that choice, I really don't blame his daughter for doing that.
After the two of them finished eating, they sat together in the small square for a while.
Lao Li said: Lao Chen, I don't think you have to do that, your daughter is filial to you, and it's not for your house, you, it's better to discuss with her and leave the house to their brothers and sisters, after all, you are gone, and they are the closest ones.
Lao Chen nodded, he felt that what Lao Li said was very right, if he really gave the house directly to his daughter, he would definitely have to turn his brother and sister face in the end, then in the future, no matter who happened to his daughter and son, there was no one who could help.
So what should I do now, my grandson is getting married and needs help, do you really have to watch and ignore it?
Lao Li said: No, just sell the house, and then the two children will be half each, which is good for everyone.
Lao Chen took a taxi back to the old house, opened the door and walked in, everything was still so familiar, it seemed that his wife was about to come out of the kitchen by wiping his hands, and said with a smile: Come back, hurry up and wash your hands, you are about to eat.
He smiled bitterly, yes, people who have lived together for almost 50 years, if they say no, they will be gone, how can they not make people sad.
He has been with her almost all his life.
Lao Chen thought about it for a long time, and finally wanted to discuss it with his son and daughter, after all, Lao Li was right, if he left, his son and daughter should be the closest relatives, and he couldn't make his brother and sister enemies because of an old house.
Chen Xiaowei and Xiaochun arrived first, they were still angry, they felt that Lao Chen was too much, and they didn't care about their own grandchildren, they were really cold-blooded.
When Chen Xiaorou and her husband arrived, they bought a lot of beef, pork ribs, etc. for Lao Chen, and said with a smile after entering the door: Dad, I have booked a table at the door, let's go out to eat in a while.
Lao Chen asked everyone to sit down, and then said: Xiaowei, Xiaorou, I called you here today because I want to sell the old house, and then divide the money equally among you, just when I am going to get married, that money can also be used, I have inquired, there are almost 550,000, 270,000 yuan for each of your brothers and sisters, and I will keep 10,000 yuan.
Xiaorou frowned and said: Dad, that house was grown up with my brother and me, it is our home, what are you selling it for?
Lao Chen smiled and said: As long as we are here, ** are all home, I don't want to wait for me to leave, you brothers and sisters have turned against each other because of this house, rather than this, it is better to sell it when I am still alive and give the money to you, so that none of you will suffer, and you can help each other in the future.
Xiaowei was a little unhappy and said: Dad, I know Xiaorou is good to you, but I really need money now, can't you give me all this money?Shengsheng needs money and a house to marry, and Xiaorou's family is not short of this money.
Xiaorou glanced at her brother Xiaowei and didn't speak, this is not a matter of lacking this money, and who has too much money, she is just a little better than her brother's family.
Lao Chen glanced at Xiaowei and said: Xiaowei, be content, and be grateful, is Xiaorou still less to help you?It's a lot, but you've always thought it should be, but if you really say it should, shouldn't your brother help your sister?
He glanced at his son and said, "Forget it, what I can do is to sell the house now and give half to each of you, and I have no better way to do it if you are satisfied."
Chen Xiaowei looked at Lao Chen's resolute face, knowing that it was useless to say anything, but with this 270,000 yuan, it should be enough to scrape together some money for a down payment, and his son can get married.
At this time, Xiaorou glanced at her husband, and then said to Lao Chen: Dad, let's do it, I know that my brother needs money, and I really don't need it for the time being, I will buy the old house, I will give my brother 350,000, and the more 80,000 yuan will be considered if I will be promoted.
Chen Xiaowei was also a little ashamed when he heard his sister's words, although he was indeed his brother, his sister had always been helping him, but now in this situation, he was still thinking about more, but his sister wanted to give him more, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
He could only say: Xiaorou, forget it, you just give me 250,000, and then give my dad 10,000, and the house is yours.
Xiaorou smiled and said: No, brother, you need money to get married, I am my aunt, and I should help him.
Lao Chen was also very happy when he heard them say this, and he thought that it was fortunate that he did not do what he had decided at the beginning, otherwise the brother and sister would definitely not be able to get along with each other in the future.
Xiaorou transferred 350,000 yuan to her brother, and then said: Brother, if the money is not enough, you tell me again, and I will find a way for you.
At the same time, she also transferred 10,000 to Lao Chen, so that he could spend it on his own.
The house was sold to Xiao Rou, and the transfer procedures were quickly completed, Lao Chen was still very happy in his heart, after all, although what he said was good, the meaning of the house to him and their family was different after all.
Xiaorou often went back with Lao Chen, cooked a hearty meal in the old house, called Xiaowei's family over, and the family happily had a meal in the old house, making him feel that his wife must also be there, and silently accompanied them by the side.
After the matter of the house was resolved, Lao Chen was very happy, he felt that he had let go of the burden in his heart, and he just had to live happily every day.
Write at the end:Lao Chen was wise, in the end, he did not leave his old house to his daughter, but decided that his son and daughter would split it in half, which made the relationship between his son and daughter better, and he was happier.
If Lao Chen really left a will and left the house to his daughter, although he felt worthy in his heart, but after he left, he made his brother and sister discordant, he should be relatives, but he was not as good as passers-by, that is the saddest thing.
I have to say that now is a material era, everyone needs money, everything needs money, but I think in this era, family affection is more important, after all, no one knows, in a long life, what will happen, there is a person who can help more important.
Home and everything is prosperous, and this requires everyone's efforts and wisdom, only the heart to think together, to make the old people happy, so that everyone on the way to the effort, meet a better self.
Lao Chen did the right thing, Xiao Rou has more pattern, what do you think, welcome to comment.
