When Xu Shixian and others heard what their father said, their faces turned a little pale.
This is the captain, the principal, and the street director. Isn’t it too scary?
How worried is the old man about them that he would think of this trick?
Xu Shiyan, on the other hand, felt very happy after hearing it.
This father in his family is really a gangster when he is messing around, and he is also a traitor when he is cheating.
No wonder people say that people are always cunning, and it is true. This skill is so beautiful.
Xu Shiyan really didn't expect that his father would raise the issue of retirement care at this time.
In fact, Xu Shiyan had wanted to mention it for a long time, but never found the opportunity. Unexpectedly, his father spoke first.
Also, the five brothers of the Xu family can only get it together during the Chinese New Year. If we don’t tell them now, when will we tell them?
The old man has been abandoned by his sons once, and he has learned a lot from the experience. This time he must put things into practice.
Very good. The old man’s arrangement is reasonable and reasonable. Xu Shiyan raised his hands and feet in approval.
Providing for the elderly should never be a son’s business.
It was so difficult at first, but the old couple were able to support their five sons.
What's going on? Can't five sons still afford two elderly people now?
Although Xu Shiyan agreed in his heart, he couldn't express his stance first, otherwise the brothers would think it was him who instigated it.
So Xu Shiyan sat there, silent, watching how the two brothers responded.
"Dad, you know my situation. I just moved out of a big house last year and I have no foundation.
Anyway, I was in the mountains with my third son a while ago, hauling some things and selling them for some money, and then I bought a house.
I really don’t have that much money in my hand, eighty, I can’t get it out now.”
Xu Shixian's face was as wrinkled as a bitter gourd. How could he have any money in his hands?
I went to Fusong to sell mountain products. When I got home, my wife gave me the money. I only kept a few yuan and confiscated the rest.
Now all the money is with his wife. How can he have eighty yuan?
Even if I discuss this matter with my wife, I'm afraid we won't be able to come to an agreement, and it's impossible for her to give me money.
The same goes for Xu Shi'an. Ever since they got married, the two brothers have been taken advantage of by their wives. As long as the family has money, they can't do anything about it.
"Dad, when Yanzi and I got married, we bought a house and settled down. My salary is not much.
Now Yanzi can't earn work points by taking care of the children, and we are short on money."
As for Xu Shide, let alone that.
The little money the family had was probably used to support the father-in-law's family, so how could he spend 80 yuan to give Xu Shiyan?
These three brothers don't have any money, how much can a college student, the fifth one, have?
Even if he had it, the three brothers above didn't pay for it, so he took the money from outside? That's not the case.
"Dad, can we do this differently?
My third brother’s four hundred yuan should be regarded as a shareholding.
One day in the future, no matter how much the house is worth, my third brother will share half of it, and the four of us will share the rest. Do you think this will work?"
Lao Wu has a quick mind. He rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.
"Lao Wu, let's do what our father said in this matter. I won't take advantage of my brother.
Otherwise, I don't need you to pay back the money. We have agreed on how much money to give to our parents every year, and mine will be deducted from the four hundred.
It’s not enough. How about I use the money for retirement in the future?”
Xu Shiyan can't trust these people. What they say right now is ridiculous, but one day, they will all refute their words.
These five brick houses are now worth 800, and when they are demolished, they will be worth at least 600,000.
By that time, can Xu Shiyan take half of it? Don't dream, those brothers can't agree.
Xu Shiyan is not greedy for the half, he just wants his brothers to share equally.
When Xu Shiyan said this, the brothers' eyes lit up. Yes, this is a good idea.
"Yes, yes, Lao San is right.
Dad, I think it’s better to just follow what the third child said, it will be like paying his pension in advance.”
The three brothers nodded in succession, thinking this was reasonable.
Xu Chenghou glanced at Lao San and sighed.
This idiot son was still too soft-hearted and let those bastards off easily.
"Okay, then do as the third child said. From now on, you can give me and your mother five yuan and five kilograms of grain every month.
Your mother and I can still move, and we can earn a little bit. As long as you bring back these subsidies, it will be enough."
When the brothers heard that it cost five yuan a month to add five kilograms of grain, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought the old man would have to pay a lot to be able to open his mouth like a lion. They can still afford five yuan and five kilograms of grain. OK, this is fine.
"Don't worry, this is for this year. From now on, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, I will set a year's pension money and food."
I didn't want Xu Chenghou to speak again. It turns out that this is just this year's standard and will be discussed next year.
Xu Chenghou is not stupid. Who knows what will happen in the future? This is not a sure thing, otherwise he will lose money.
"You can send money and food back once every three months or half a year. If anyone doesn't send money and food back for a year, he won't have a share in the family.
If your mother and I have any problems in the future, the cost of medical treatment and so on will not be included, you will have to pay separately."
Xu Chenghou is in his sixties, what has he never experienced? He will not leave any loopholes for his sons to take advantage of.
The old man has already decided everything, so what else can Xu Shixian say? They can only agree.
So Xu Chenghou found paper and pen, and Xu Shide wrote the pension agreement.
Two copies were made, and then brothers Xu Chenghou and Xu Shixian all took their fingerprints.
There is no notary office these days, but you have to find a few notaries.
Xu Chenghou will accompany Zhou Guilan back to her parents' home in two days. You can take the agreement with you and ask Zhou Guilan's brother to witness it.
Of course, if you are still worried that it is not safe, you can do what Xu Chenghou said.
I found the principal of Daying Primary School, the subdistrict director, and the brigade secretary, and they all signed on as witnesses, not afraid of anyone who dared to go back on the money.
After the agreement was written and everyone signed and fingerprinted, Xu Chenghou nodded with satisfaction and put the agreement away.
"There is one more thing, so I won't write about it here."
The old man planned to talk everything out today to avoid trouble in the future.
"You all stay far away, but the third child stays close.
If your mother and I have some minor problems such as headache, fever, etc., I guess you can't help us, and we have to count on the third child.
Don't think that just because you took the money and food back, it's a great achievement. The third brother takes the money and food just like you, and besides, he has to take care of us, the old couple.
In the future, if you see me and your mother helping the third child with something, you don’t have to worry about it.
Who told you to jump so far one by one? If you don't look after me, don't worry about what I usually do."
Xu Chenghou has been thinking about it for a year, and there is nothing he can't think of in every aspect.
Among the sons, the third one is the most reliable. He will be relied upon for many things in the future, so he has to show some favoritism.
But there are many sons in the family, and there are always comparisons. The old man is the first to make ugly remarks, so those who follow will be embarrassed to cause trouble to the third child.
The old man's words clearly favored the third child.
The brothers all understood, but had nothing to say. What else could they do except nod in agreement?
