Sankui was so busy when he came back from Sijiu City. After the banquet, he sent the guests away and went back to the house to rest. He slept until about five o'clock in the afternoon.
While having dinner, Sankui looked at Li Erkui and asked, "Does the second brother know what happened in the morning?"
Wang Zhi's heart skipped a beat. Seeing that Sankui never mentioned it, he thought the matter was over, but he didn't expect to be waiting here.
Li Erkui and Zhang Er were confused and asked: "What happened in the morning?"
Sankui looked at Wang Zhi and said, "It's the second sister-in-law who encouraged cousin Wen to ask me how much gift my cousin gave me in my new house? You want to know why you asked me directly, why are you beating around the bush like this?"
Tao Shuhui couldn't understand the dialect, but she knew from the look on his face that he was getting angry. But she also felt that the second brother and sister-in-law were going too far, so she didn't stop him.
Uncle Li drank too much at noon. After drinking, he went to bed and didn't know about it. Hearing this, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked, "What's going on? Tell me clearly."
Sankui said: "Dad, my cousin gave me a set of furniture as a wedding gift. That set of furniture cost more than 600 yuan, so I won't let her give me any extra gifts when I get married. Dad, I told you and my mother about this before.
Passed."
Wang Zhi's eyes almost popped out of her head. What kind of furniture was so expensive? She was extremely jealous, but she didn't dare to act recklessly in front of Uncle Li, so she pushed Li Erkui hard.
Uncle Li asked: "Second brother, are you talking?"
But Li Erkui shook Wang Zhi's head away and said with a cold face: "Did I deprive you of food or drink, so that you could do such a shameful thing?"
Wang Zhi was unwilling to give in and said: "I just don't accept it. She didn't give anything when we got married, but when San Kui got married, she gave her a set of furniture worth 600 yuan. You are brothers, why should she treat you so differently?"
Sankui said disdainfully: "Just because you and your second brother are getting married for the second time, why don't you decide not to get married in the first place? Your parents don't agree with this marriage, so you are the one who came to us."
When Wang Zhi and Li Erkui got married, they held a few tables, but they only invited relatives to eat and no gift money was confiscated. After getting married, no one could resist giving gifts like this.
Li Erkui shouted with a dark face: "Li Sankui, why are you talking?"
Ever since Li Erkui tried to take away his job, Sankui no longer regarded him as his brother: "When you married Chen Yan, my father thought she was of bad character and disagreed. You went on a hunger strike to force her to your death; my father also opposed it.
, you turned a blind eye again, and ended up making trouble in front of your cousin. Your parents are so old, and they still have to take care of your two children. As a result, you are not willing to buy a piece of land and build a spacious house. Li Erkui, you have
What qualifications do you have to shout here?"
My cousin is right, with such a house-ruiner, sooner or later my parents will be pissed to death if they stay in Yongning County. So I’d better make money and take my parents to Sijiu City for retirement in the future!
Although Li Erkui was very angry, he was unable to refute Sankui.
Wang Zhi said: "Li Sankui..."
Sankui pointed at Wang Zhi's nose: "If you dare to say another word, I will drag you out right now."
Wang Zhi didn't believe that Sankui really dared to attack her, and shouted loudly: "Li Sankui, I am your sister-in-law. There is no elder or inferiority in your Li family..."
Sankui grabbed her shoulders and dragged her back, dragging her to the door and throwing her open. Wang Zhi fell to the ground and didn't care, walked in and closed the door.
Everyone was shocked by his operation.
Sankui said coldly to Li Erkui who was walking over: "What kind of father do you think you are if you don't raise a child? If you dare to let her in, don't blame me for turning my back and denying you as my brother."
Seeing his indifferent expression, Li Erkui opened the door and said to Wang Zhi: "Go back quickly and stop making trouble. If not, I won't give you a penny in the future."
"I'm being bullied like this, and you don't stand up for me?"
Li Erkui said with a face: "You stand up for me, and then our brothers turn against each other? You don't have such a big face."
Wang Zhi was so angry that he almost ascended to heaven.
After dinner, Sankui talked about building a house: "Brother, sister-in-law, I bought a house in Sijiu City, and it is impossible for me to go back to Yongning County to live in the future. Brother, sister-in-law, you have many children, and you live there for more than thirty years."
A flat house is too crowded. Nowadays, if the children are small, they can squeeze in, but when they are older, can a family of six squeeze into two houses?"
"Brother, sister-in-law, I think you should build this house. If you don't have enough money, my parents and I can help raise some of it."
What he said was made up, not borrowed.
Li Dakui and Mrs. Li looked at each other, and finally Mrs. Li said: "To buy land and build a house, we calculated that we need about three thousand yuan, but we can't afford that much money."
"I can help you raise a thousand yuan. You don't have to think of this money as honoring your parents and grandma."
At the end of the year, he received a bonus of 1,000 yuan and used the money to build a house for them. He discussed this matter with Tao Shuhui and said that this would be the last time. Although Tao Shuhui was reluctant to part with it, she still agreed.
Uncle Li also had a straightforward temper. He immediately made the decision and said: "I still have five hundred yuan here, and I will use this money to build a house for you."
Li Dakui was frightened when he heard this: "Dad, Sankui, how is this possible..."
Erkui thought to himself, if you don't support me, I will, but he just thought about it and didn't dare to say anything.
Uncle Li said: "Your brother is willing to give you one thousand yuan to help you build a house, plus my five hundred yuan, what else do you have to disagree?"
Of the three sons, he doesn't have to worry about the cunning and cunning of the second one. The third one will be fine with Tian Shao to help him in the future. But the eldest son, who is honest and honest, has many children, which makes him worried. He wants to build a house in the county.
, I just need to raise my four children well from now on.
Sankui added: "My cousin said that this land will become more and more expensive in the future. Now I can only make a profit if I buy the land and build a house."
Hearing this, Li Dakui did not refuse anymore. The couple had saved more than 800 yuan in the past few years, and with the 1,500 yuan given, they could not borrow more to build a house.
After talking about building a house, Sankui then talked about retirement care.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Li waved his hand and said, "No, I can get more than three hundred yuan from your second brother's restaurant every year. This money is enough for me, your mother and grandma."
But Sangui shook his head and said: "Dad, you don't care about the hotel. You can't keep sharing money from the hotel. Once you have received the dividends for five years, you should quit the hotel!"
Uncle Li looked at Li Erkui, and when he saw his eyes evading, he knew that he was not happy to take the 30% share. He had always been a decisive person, so he immediately said: "I don't need this share, but it must be divided equally between the two of you."
In this small restaurant, Li Erkui is mainly responsible for purchasing and expanding the customer base, while Sister-in-law Li is mainly responsible for braised pork and cooking on the kitchen stove.
Neither Li Erkui nor Mrs. Li had any objections.
Sankui added: "After the house is built, my parents will live with my eldest brother and sister-in-law, and they will not need to provide pension money. Second brother, each of us will give fifteen yuan a month as living expenses for my parents. In addition,
, you have to give another fifteen yuan a month for living expenses for the two children. The money you give will increase every year as prices rise."
He also asked someone to take care of Grandma Li, but he didn't say this and took it as his filial piety towards grandma.
After this calculation, Li Erkui felt that he was at a loss, but he did not dare to object because he was afraid that Sankui would really beat him.
