Landlady who likes to hoard land

Xu Aimei ignored her mother and got up to pull Xu Chenxing along.

"Second brother, come with me to my eldest brother's house to discuss this. This matter cannot be left like this."

Imagine the day you're bedridden and can't move. If Xu Qian and Xu Shan then say it's inconvenient to take care of you and suggest hiring a caregiver or sending you to a nursing home, would you be willing?

Jianren must take care of you in your old age, even if he gets divorced, he is still your son.

Even if he hires a caregiver for you, the caregiver won't dare to mistreat you because you have a son. I know Jianren; he would never send you to a nursing home.

"Let's go to my older brother's place."

Xu Chenxing was pulled by Xu Aimei and walked blankly toward Xu Chenhui's house.

Xu Aimei's last words touched his heart.

Xu Jianren would never send him to a nursing home, but Xu Qian and Xu Shan might not.

He does have a good eye for people, otherwise he wouldn't have held onto the factory so tightly, just to leave himself a way out.

Wang Chengyu didn't know how Xu Chenxing and his two siblings discussed it.

Not long after, Xu Chenxing's factory received news of its demolition.

Normal demolition compensation wouldn't be particularly high.

The road in front of the factory is to be expanded into the district's first outer ring expressway, and Xu Chenxing's factory happens to be within the planning scope.

According to policy, they can be given a new site elsewhere to continue operating their factory.

Xu Chenxing and his partner had worked in factories their whole lives and didn't want to worry about it anymore. Plus, business was so-so this year, so the two of them decided to take this opportunity to break up!

Without the new factory building, plus demolition compensation and external debts, the final amount split among them was about 25 million yuan per person.

Having been partners for so many years, the two had developed a certain understanding. To avoid outsiders being envious and causing unnecessary trouble, they unanimously decided to only announce that they each received ten million.

Xu Jianren received a call from Xu Chenhui, asking him to come home to discuss the redistribution of the demolition compensation. Xu Chenhui assured Xu Jianren that he would oversee the process this time and that there would be no favoritism.

With Xu's mother around, he didn't have much hope. But after all, she was his parents who had raised him. Even if he decided to live a nomadic life in the future, he would still come back to visit during the Spring Festival. If they got old and no one took care of them, he would still take care of them in their old age and see them off in their final days.

Give him whatever you can.

Xu Jianren found it increasingly boring.

He arrived at Xu Chenhui's house at the agreed time. This time, everyone was there: Xu Chenxing and his wife, Xu Chenhui and his wife, Xu Aimei and his wife, Xu Qian and Xu Shan and their wife, plus Xu Jianren, making a total of eleven people. The house was packed.

Seeing that Xu Jianren had come alone, Xu Chenxing's heart sank again.

He had so many questions for Xu Jianren, such as whether they were really divorced, and if so, who Xu Wen and Xu Yao lived with, and who got the house.

Now is definitely not the time to talk about these things; let's deal with the immediate problem first.

Once everyone had arrived, Xu Chenhui spoke first.

"Your family's situation is truly outrageous. The whole village is waiting to see you make a fool of yourself!"

Jianren, you are too willful. Even if your parents are wrong, can they just refuse to support you in your old age?

They raised you, helped you get married and have children; for that reason alone, you can't just abandon them.

"Grandpa, I didn't ignore her. I didn't know my mom had broken her leg. Nobody told me. My aunt called me and that's how I found out. I even told her on the phone that I was going to come see them. Aunt, right? I meant I was going to come see them, didn't I?"

Xu Jianren certainly cannot be blamed for being unfilial.

Xu Aimei rolled her eyes at him, indicating she didn't want to talk. Xu Jianren touched his nose and stopped arguing.

Xu Chenhui glanced at his guilty look.

"Alright, enough of that nonsense. Let's get your family's affairs sorted out properly in front of us elders today. We can't let the villagers laugh at us."

He then changed the subject, pointing the finger directly at Xu Qian and Xu Shan.

"Xu Qian, Xu Shan, I know you young people advocate gender equality all day long."

Ask yourselves honestly, in our living environment, is gender equality even possible? You all have husbands' families now; if your in-laws were to divide the property equally between men and women, would you be willing?

"Grandpa, we're willing," Xu Shan lied, her beautiful fox-like eyes wide open.

Xu Chenhui paused for a moment upon hearing her words, then immediately smiled.

"Xu Qian, are you willing?"

Xu Qian remained silent. Of course she was unwilling. Her mother-in-law's family had received three houses and two shops as compensation for their land expropriation years ago.

According to local tradition, all of these will belong to them in the future, so she won't have to worry about her son's future wedding house, and each of her two sons can have a shop.

If it were truly a case of gender equality, her family would only receive one apartment and half a commercial property. She definitely wouldn't accept that.

Xu Chenhui, seeing that she remained silent, said knowingly...

“Xu Shan, look at your sister, she’s not willing. The reason you’re willing is because your husband’s family is poor, and they don’t have much to give you.”

Xu Shan's husband clenched his fists tightly. Everyone knew his family was poor, and being told this in public made him feel very embarrassed.

He came from a poor family and knew how hard it was to earn money. He was trying to curry favor with Xu Chenxing just to get a bigger share of the inheritance. He couldn't afford to mess things up now! He endured it!

Xu Chenhui took a sip of tea and continued.

"Xu Shan, as far as I know, you also have two older sisters-in-law. If your husband's family had 30 million, and your mother-in-law followed your parents' example and divided it equally between you, would you be willing?"

"I do!" Xu Shan stubbornly refused to admit it, even though the hypothetical situation was invalid and it was just empty talk.

"Hehe, okay, if you're willing, then let's do it your way."

However, Xu Shan, have you thought about your brother, sister-in-law, and nephew? They are your own brother and nephew. You have seen what kind of life they have lived over the years, and I don't want to comment further.

You probably never thought about how your brother, sister-in-law, and nephew will live in the future.

People shouldn't be too greedy; greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant!

Xu Shan secretly curled her lip. She doesn't even care about her own children, yet she takes care of her brother, sister-in-law, and nephew. How ridiculous!

The most important thing for her in this life is to live comfortably. As for everything else, like family and love, let them go to hell!

Xu Chenhui looked at the glamorous Xu Shan in front of him, his eyelids slightly closed. This Xu Shan was just as selfish as her mother, only caring about her own comfort and completely disregarding the lives of others.

"Think about it yourself. Now that you are all willing to divide it equally, and your parents are also willing, then today your family's property will be divided equally."

Of course, this division cannot be done the same way your parents did. Your sister-in-law also married into our Xu family and is a member of our Xu family, so she should rightfully have a share. Xu Wen and Xu Yao are descendants of the Xu family and will carry on the Xu family line in the future, so they should each have a share!

Do you have any objections to what I'm saying?

Xu Qian remained silent, afraid that if she objected, given her husband's personality, he might actually turn around and discuss dividing the family property equally with his parents, since her husband was on the same side as his two sisters.

“My brother’s child has a share, and my sister’s and my child also have Xu family genes, so shouldn’t they also have a share?”

Xu Shan had no intention of saving face and was trying every means to fight for her own interests.

“Your brother’s child’s surname is Xu, and your child’s surname is Zhu. Why don’t you talk to your husband and in-laws about changing your child’s surname to Xu?”

Xu Aimei couldn't help but complain. She realized that her niece was really shameless. Her skin was thicker than the courtyard wall. She really didn't know how she had the nerve to ask such a question.
