A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

Chapter 651 Life
Then everything went wrong. Zhang Lan's cousin had two grandsons. Now they had one apartment at home, and his daughter-in-law planned to buy another one while preparing another one.

In those years, house prices were getting higher year by year, so Zhang Lan's cousin's grandpa's daughter-in-law wanted to make a down payment as soon as possible, and then the family would grit their teeth and endure some hardships. After the two children were older, the mortgage loan was almost repaid. .

Originally, if the father was in good health, the retirement salary plus the couple doing other jobs from time to time would basically cover the family living expenses for a month, while also being responsible for the daily expenses of the two grandchildren.You can save some money in the end.

But since he fell ill and was hospitalized, Zhang Lan's grandfather had to be taken care of by himself for the past two years. The family living expenses were all borne by his son and daughter-in-law. In addition, the two of them had to save money for a down payment to buy a house, so their life was inevitably a bit difficult. Stretched.

After my grandpa was discharged from the hospital, his two daughters went more often because of the care issues during the hospital stay. His son and daughter-in-law went less often because they were at work and taking care of their two children.

After being hospitalized just like this, Zhang Lan's cousin didn't know whether it was because he had just been discharged from the hospital or because he was really confused. Anyway, while he was living under the same roof with his son and daughter-in-law, he started to cause problems with his daughter-in-law in daily life.

After that, he gave his monthly retirement salary and the task of buying medicine. He directly gave his bank card and ID card to his two daughters and asked them to buy medicine for him.

This made my daughter-in-law angry. She spent more than 5000 yuan a month. After deducting the money for medicine, she could not see a penny of other money.There was a huge quarrel back then, and Zhang Lan heard from her mother that she almost got divorced.Later, it was Zhang Lan's cousin who asked for the bank card and ID card from his eldest daughter, and gave them to Zhang Lan's cousin, the old lady, for safekeeping, and the turmoil was finally subsided.

Even so, once a family conflict occurs, it will not be settled in a short time.Not long after the quarrel, Zhang Lan's cousin's grandfather's daughter-in-law bought a house with the money saved by the couple and paid the down payment. Since then, the couple's money has been tight.

In the words of my daughter-in-law, no matter how confused you are, the two of us have no money now. If you want to pay for your grandson's schooling and family living expenses, you can take it. If you don't, we will live in poverty.They are young anyway, so it doesn’t matter if the old and the young live a hard life.

There was a conflict between the father-in-law and his daughter-in-law. After that, Zhang Lan's cousin also fell ill and was admitted to the hospital. It was not a serious illness, but she had some mild cerebral infarction. She was discharged from the hospital after more than ten days.

But with the onset of cerebral infarction, Zhang Lan said that her grandmother's body collapsed rapidly and she needed to take medicine all year round.

In just two years, Zhang Lan's grandpa's family originally lived a harmonious life. With the retirement salary of the two elderly people, in addition to buying medicine, they could only buy some daily necessities.

The salary of the son and daughter-in-law, after paying the down payment, the monthly mortgage payment is nearly [-]. Basically neither of them dares to take a break from work, nor can they take time off to change jobs at will.

In short, the quality of family life has dropped drastically in an instant. As the two children grow up and one enters high school and the other enters junior high school, the expenses for the two children also increase.

The basic necessities, food, housing and transportation for a family of six would cost three to four thousand yuan, no matter how much less a month.That is to say, if the cousin's son and daughter-in-law do not have the help of the cousin's retirement salary and do not have a net income of 4000 yuan a month, the family income and expenditure will be negative.

Under the pressure of such a life, if there are some daily exchanges of favors, or if a family member has a serious illness, they will be instantly in debt.

When a family is gradually returning to poverty, small things in life that were originally laughed at can trigger quarrels.

Zhang Lan's grandfather's son is an honest man. After graduating from school, he joined a state-owned enterprise in the city and worked in the enterprise for more than 20 years.His salary and job are very stable, which can be regarded as the basic minimum limit for housing loans.After the quarrels came out again and again, it was he who managed to stay in the middle and kept the turmoil from getting bigger.

Originally, the small family was relatively peaceful. As Zhang Lan's cousin and his wife gradually recovered, his cousin realized his previous mistakes and began to consciously bear the family's living expenses.

But with the changes in the economic situation, my cousin's son is okay. The state-owned enterprise has been able to maintain normal operation for so many years, and its production tasks and wages are not affected by the market.But things were different with my daughter-in-law. She was doing a good job, but suddenly the company stopped working, and she was looking for a temporary job after that.

A dual-income family could still manage to survive, but now suddenly only one person can earn a stable income. The family's living expenses and daily household expenses will inevitably become even more stretched.

Later, the house the two of them bought seemed to be in disrepair, and the relationship between the family members became even worse.

In this case, after another big quarrel, Zhang Lan's cousin and grandfather briefly renovated the house in their hometown on the mountain and moved back.

Not only was he unable to get along with his daughter-in-law, but after all these years and his two grandsons were so old, they couldn't let the small family face the risk of breaking up.

Zhang Lan expressed that his grandfather thought very clearly, and he also made it very clear when he was doing acupuncture at Zhang Lan's home.

Regardless of whether the house is in ruins or not, the main problem for their family now is that since the daughter-in-law’s job cannot be guaranteed, the son’s salary will at most cover the mortgage, and all other family living expenses will be borne by the daughter-in-law. That unstable job.

The old couple are in relatively good health now. They spent some money to renovate the house on the mountain, and the son's family in the city can save the daily living expenses of two people.

The two of them can just plant some land in the mountains. While taking care of themselves, they can also save part of the grain, oil, rice and noodles at home. At the same time, Zhang Lan's grandpa's retirement salary can be used to buy medicine, and he can save nearly 3000 yuan a month. money.

In this way, the front and back subsidies can keep the lives of the son and daughter-in-law moving forward, and they can also save money in their hands.

Every family has its own problems. When Zhang Lan's mother told him about the situation of his cousin's family, he told his mother that it was not possible and asked his cousin and his wife to move down to the winery. Grandpa Zhang Lan was in the factory. Living together, so that the two of them can have a chat companion when they are together.

Zhang Lan's mother was a little moved. She thought about it and told Zhang Lan that Grandpa Zhang Lan would have to speak up. If Zhang Lan's mother opened her mouth, Zhang Lan would definitely not agree because Grandpa Zhang Lan was very face-conscious.

Grandpa Zhang Lan called and the two cousins ​​chatted together, maybe there was hope.

Zhang Lan doesn't care about this. He is only responsible for making suggestions. It is up to the mother to decide whether it will work or not. He is not at home to take care of this stall.
