Dictation: Wang Jin, 58 years old.
My 82-year-old mother passed away, and after handling my mother's funeral, the second child said to me in front of the third and fourth children: "Brother, my mother is gone, and the real estate certificate of the house where my mother lives is my mother's name, which is the thought that my mother left us." Take care of the house. ”
I said, "Brother, my parents are gone, we have 4 brothers and sisters, two boys and two girls, I am the eldest, I live in my hometown, you work and live in the city, and the third and fourth are married in Guangdong." I take care of my mother's house, as it should. ”
The second child went back to the city, and the third and fourth children also went back to Guangdong. My wife and I repeated the rhythm of our old days: we went to the fields every day to do farm work, and when we came home to feed the cows, sheep, chickens and pigs. We would clean my mother's house twice a day.
That afternoon, my wife and I came to clean my mother's house. I said, "Mom's building is not much worse than the building we live in, we spent nearly 300,000 yuan to build a house, it seems that the second, third and fourth children built a house for Mom, they didn't spend less money."
The wife said: "In my eyes, my mother's building and our house are two and a half floors, and the decoration is no worse than ours." The second child is a small leader in a company in the city, and the house in his hometown is too poor, so he will be faceless. I even think that Mom's house is better than ours. We've taken good care of the house. I listened to my wife and nodded excitedly.
One morning, my wife said to me, "Mom, the head of this building is Mom's rank, that is, Mom's real estate before her death." Mom has passed away, you are the eldest brother, the eldest brother is the father, you really have the responsibility and obligation to manage this building. ”
I said, "Old woman, you're right, I'm the eldest brother in the family, you're the eldest sister-in-law, and you have to do your part..."”
The wife said, "Old man, since you say so, I will help you take care of this house." I guess we both might as well move to this building, how beautiful this building is. We live in this building and maintain the popularity of this building, which is the best management. ”
I can't think of my wife coming up with such an idea, it's a good idea, it's what I should be as an eldest brother. I agreed with my wife's suggestion, and I said, "We'll have to talk to before we move in." ”
The wife said, "No need to discuss, we will take the initiative to take care of this house, and the second child will be very grateful to us." By the way, I look at the calendar, today is a good day, and the sons of two friends in my WeChat group are getting married today, so we will simply move in. ”
I didn't think of such a direct and decisive idea, and I was a little hesitant, but when I heard my wife say this, I agreed to her proposal. On the same day, we moved into my mother's building.
A week later, my son in the county town called me and said, "Dad, my girlfriend agrees to marry me, and I need to buy a house." You've got to give me some money. ”
I said, "Good thing, son, you're 29 years old, it's time to get married." There are still more than 100,000 yuan at home, and I will transfer it all to you. You'll have to make up some money, make a down payment and buy a house. ”
The son said: "Dad, my girlfriend and I work in this company, and my monthly income is more than 4,000 yuan, and my girlfriend's salary is also low." I don't have much left after eating and drinking, I have saved for 6 years, and I only have 100,000 yuan, and we have to spend money to organize a wedding. ”
I listened to my son's words, and my heart instantly cut like a knife. I said, "Son, your mother and I are doing farm work at home, and we can't make a lot of money. When I was young, I went out to work and built a house in my hometown, so I didn't have much money. ”
The son said, "Dad, you can get more than 100,000 yuan if you sell the house in our hometown." Sell our house and you and your mom move into your grandma's house. You can really sell our house and solve the problem. ”
I said, "Son, can we sell our old house?" Is it legal? ”
The son said: "Dad, yes, with policy support, between the economic members of the village, you can buy and sell houses, you can transfer the ownership, not between the economic members of the village, you can't buy and sell, you can't transfer the ownership." A few of my friends, their parents sold their hometown house to raise money for their children to buy a house. ”
I said, "Okay, I'll discuss with your mother to sell our hometown house as soon as possible, our house used to cost nearly 300,000 yuan when it was built, and now it can be sold for more than 100,000 yuan anyway." ”
Hang up my son's **, I discussed what my son** said with my wife. Unexpectedly, my wife readily agreed to sell our house and exchange it for money to buy a house in the county town for my son.
The wife said: "I have thought of this for a long time, but I didn't expect my son to be the same as I thought, my son is really my mother's sweetheart." We moved into the house that my mother left behind, which was the first step, and we had to leave our original house before we could sell it. That's all we can do for the sake of our son. ”
The wife paused for a moment and continued: "Old man, you have a message on WeChat in the village, saying that we are going to sell the house and let the people in the village know. ”
I said, "Old woman, do you think anyone will buy our house?" Can our house be sold? How much does our house cost to sell? ”
The wife said, "Someone will definitely buy our house, because there are several children in the village, and they should start a family, but they have not yet started a house, and some of them do not even have a homestead." Although some people have homesteads, they don't have the money to start a house. As long as our ** is suitable, someone will definitely buy it. We're going to sell at least 17,180,000. ”
I said, "Okay, I'll send a message right away and let the whole village know." ”
So I posted the information about the sale of the house in the WeChat group of my hometown. After the message was sent, it quickly spread in the village. Several families came to our house to see the house. They also asked if the policy allowed it. When they confirmed that people from their village could trade, they jumped at it.
Three families came to see the house, and they were only willing to pay 120,000 yuan to buy my house. They say that the house in the village, even if you spend 500,000 yuan to build a house, is not worth anything. If 120,000 yuan is given, they are willing to buy it.
When I heard that they were only willing to spend 120,000 yuan to buy my house, I was about to blow up. I said that I built this two-and-a-half-story house of more than 200 square meters, spent more than 300,000 yuan, the age of the house is only eight years, and the price I give now is less than one-third of the cost price.
The two families were not angry, they walked away. After that, one family said that they were willing to pay 140,000 yuan to buy our house. After some consideration, I drew up an agreement, found three witnesses, and sold the house.
In this way, I have the 140,000 in my hand, plus the original more than 100,000, and I have made up enough for 240,000. My wife and I went to the city and gave the money to our son as a down payment to buy a three-bedroom, two-living house. Soon the son got married. Because the daughter-in-law is from the countryside, her family background is not very good, and her in-laws have little support for her daughter's marriage.
Soon, the second child found out that I had sold my own house and moved into my mother's house. My brother didn't blame me, he just asked me to take care of my mother's house.
A year later, my daughter-in-law in the county town gave birth to a child, and when my son told me that my daughter-in-law had given us a grandson, we were really happy. The daughter-in-law was hospitalized for a few days and was taken care of by her mother-in-law.
My wife and I went to the county seat to visit our daughter-in-law like a grandson. The son said to us: "Dad, I want to take you and your mother to live in the city, you are in good health, you can be a security guard, you can get 2,000 yuan a month, Mom will take care of the children for us, and our whole family will live happily together." ”
I said, "Okay, let's get ready, and we'll go to the county seat to find you." ”
The son said, "Dad, you go back to the county to live, just sell the house left by your grandmother, and we also need a sum of money at home." ”
I said, "This is your grandmother's house, and you can't sell it." ”
The son said: "Dad, grandma has passed away, you are the eldest of grandma's children, you have the final say on what to do with grandma's house." ”
At this time, the wife suddenly said: "My son is right, we will sell the house left by my mother, so that we will not run around and take care of the house." ”
I said, "I have to discuss this matter with the second child, and I can only sell the house if he agrees." ”
So I called the second child and said that I was going to sell the house left by my mother.
The second child said, "Brother, why did you suddenly think of selling the house where your mother used to live?" ”
I said, "Second child, your parents have passed away, and you have a house and a car in the city, and you are still a leader." Your daughter is in college and has a hukou in the city, so she will definitely not come to live in the village. My son lives in the county seat, gets married, and has children, and will not return to his hometown. We sold the house. You have to take care of it if you keep it, so it's troublesome! ”
The second child said: "Brother, it turns out that you sold your house, whether it is legal or not, whether it can be spent, I will not evaluate, that is your family's business." And my mother used to live in this house, but my two sisters and I paid for it, if the house is sold, you have to share some of the money to the two sisters, so you don't get much money. This house is a thought left to us by my mother, we sold the house, and then we went back to our hometown to do Qingming, and we had no place to exhaust our feet. ”
I said, "Brother, it takes you an hour from the city to your hometown, and it only takes 45 minutes for us to get home from the county seat. Judging from the current situation, it is not clear whether our mountain village can continue for twenty or thirty years, and it is very likely that one day all the people in our mountain village will have to emigrate. It's better that we can sell the house for a little money now that we have the house in hand. ”
The second child said: "Brother, don't talk about it, I can't control you if you sell your house yourself, but I don't agree to sell the house where my mother lives." You won't need to take care of this house in the future. ”
In this way, my wife and I left the mountain village and went to live in the county seat. The wife takes care of the grandchildren. I work as a security guard in the community where my son lives, and I get 2,200 yuan a month. I gave 1,700 yuan a month to my son, leaving only 500 yuan. My son paid the money I gave to the house for a monthly basis. We get along harmoniously with our son and daughter-in-law, and my family lives happily.
The grandson has grown up slowly, from being an infant to babbling and can walk and run. We feel how fast children grow up. Our grandson is about to start kindergarten, and we look forward to a better and happier life in the future.
Just when my wife and I were intoxicated with our longing for a better life in the future, my daughter-in-law took her grandson out to play after dinner that night. But the son stayed at home, and the son said to the two of us, "Dad, Mom, you have been living in our house for almost three years, and you have worked hard. My child is ready to go to kindergarten, and we want my father-in-law and mother-in-law to take care of our children. ”
My wife and I were stunned to hear our son say this. I said, "Son, you had a child three years ago, and the two of us lived with you. It's only been three years now, why did you tell us to go back? Where are we going to stay? The house in my hometown has been sold. ”
The son said, "Dad, Mom, I am your son, I am also the son of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, you have lived for three years, and now you should change your father-in-law and mother-in-law to live for three years." ”
The wife said, "Son, it hurts your parents' hearts too much by doing this, we sold our hometown and pooled the money to buy you a house." We've only been in this position for three years, so how can you bear to drive us away?We bought this house with three bedrooms and two living rooms, and your father-in-law and mother-in-law can live in one house. ”
The son said: "Dad, Mom, this house is so small, and the old people on both sides live together, which is easy to have conflicts. At the same time, I also want my children to be independent from an early age, and they must have a house. So you go back to your hometown first. Isn't Grandma's house still there?When you go back, you will live in your grandmother's house. You take care of your grandmother's house, and you can ask your uncles and aunts to give you a little money for taking care of the old house. ”
I was so angry that I reached out and slapped my son in the face, and roared, "Son, how can you say such a thing?"You're a white-eyed wolf, not human. Three years ago, you asked me to sell my grandmother's house, which was a big mistake, but fortunately, your uncle didn't let me sell the house. Grandma's house is still there, but how can I have the face to live in that house again?I'm so stinky."
But the son was not angry. He said, "Dad, Mom, I am your son, you can beat me and scold me, but you must leave here and go back to your hometown." You are going home to take care of your grandmother's house, and your uncles and aunts don't have to go back to their hometowns, and they should ...... at a cost”
I trembled with anger. I said, "Son, I'm going to go to your and your wife's unit to reason with the leaders and see if you still have a face?"”
The son made a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and he said: "Dad, Mom, I only let you go back to your hometown for three years first, and then replace you later." I'm not wrong, where's that?If you come to our unit, you want to make us stink, and you have nothing to do, if my wife and I are unemployed, who will support your grandchildren, and who will provide for you in the future?”
My son's words struck me in the sore spot. I have always defended my son, even if I was covered in bruises, I did not let my son be wronged. Now, his son has gone too far, but he is helpless. I can't let my son and daughter-in-law lose their jobs and let my grandson suffer ......
I had no choice but to say, "Son, since you are so hard-hearted, I will admit it to your mother." Tomorrow morning, we leave your house!”
The next day, my wife and I walked out of our son's house almost crying. I have more than 10,000 yuan on me, which I have saved up with my pocket money every month. I wanted to rent a house to live in, and then we continued to work in the county.
But my wife stopped me. The wife snorted and cried, and finally leaned against the side of the road, facing the darkness, covering her face and crying.
The wife cried for a while and stopped. The wife said, "We made a thousand mistakes, and the mistake was that we bet all our hopes on our son, and we have no way out." They should not sell their hometown houses, and they should not live with their sons and daughters-in-law early. After our son got married, we were no longer the only ones, but we had two parents ......We still have to go back to our hometown and live in a mountain village. The most important thing now is to get the forgiveness of the second child and let us live in the house left by my mother. This was our life-saving ......”
I heard my wife say that and I thought she was right. So I called my brother's **, and he quickly connected**.
I said, "Brother, your sister-in-law and I came out of my son's house in the county seat, it's really embarrassing, we have no place to live, we want to live in the house left by our mother, is it okay?"”
The second child said: "Brother, it's okay, my mother has passed away, you are my brother and sister-in-law, the eldest brother is the father, and the eldest sister-in-law is the mother, you can live if you want to, take good care of the old house left by your mother, and during the New Year's holidays, I will call the third and fourth to go home for reunion." If you work hard to take care of the house, I will give you a subsidy of 7,000 or 8,000 a year. Who calls us brothers, who calls me a small leader in the unit? ”
My voice was choked at the moment, and I cried and said, "Brother, I swear in this life and this life, I will guard the house left by my mother, if I sell my mother's building with a crooked mind, I will be thundered by the sky." I live in the house left by my mother, which is the greatest blessing, and I don't need your subsidy. ”
The second child said: "Brother, it's not so serious, don't swear." We grew up in a mountain village, our roots are in a mountain village, and our ancestors are all in the mountains. You are right to go back to your hometown to live. The nephew has his own life, and it is up to him to decide how he shoulders his responsibilities and obligations. You just live your way......”
My wife and I went back to our hometown and moved into the house that my mother had left behind. We re-cultivated the fields and raised chickens and pigs. The second child came home, took out 20,000 yuan in cash, and stuffed it into my hand.
The second brother said: "Brother, I'll give you three years of hard work first." You take care of Mom's house. I'll say ugly things first, the chickens and pigs you raised, I'll come back, kill them if you want to, and take them if you want. ”
In this way, my wife and I lived in our hometown. We live in this building left by our mother, which is very comfortable and happy. My son would come back to his hometown every 2 or 3 months to see us. Gradually, we forgave our son for the hurt we had ......
