Chapter 1196: Messy
Hu Jian believes he hasn't gone crazy yet, which shows he has a strong will.
When his ex-wife filed for divorce, Hu Jian never resented her. It was simply because his parents were too domineering and went too far.
His ex-wife is a very sensitive person. Even though Hu Jian told her that she could stop associating with her in-laws, she cared about other people's opinions and always wanted their approval, which led her to get caught up in internal conflicts from which she could not extricate herself.
After all, his ex-wife had suggested an option: to immigrate, but he refused.
Therefore, their separation was for the best for both of them. At the time, they handled the division of property and child custody issues amicably without any bitter disputes.
Hu Jian hadn't fully calmed down when his phone rang again, this time displaying "Dad".
Hu Jian answered the phone and said directly, "Go ahead and cause trouble at my workplace, I don't care! If you make it impossible for me to work here, I'll just quit! But I'll say it again, once you take my job, I won't acknowledge you anymore! Whether you live or die, whether you're doing well or badly, I won't care anymore."
The reason why the elderly couple is so obsessed with having a son is simply so that they can support themselves in their old age.
He is a son. If his parents don't know their place and still want to interfere in his life and control him, Hu Jian can cut ties with them now.
Mr. Hu, who was about to unleash a torrent of curses, was suddenly speechless, stammering, "You're our only son! If you don't care about us, who will?"
Hu Jian sneered: "Go find whoever you want! This is who I am. You've already ruined my first marriage. You know I didn't tell you about my remarriage? I just don't want to have anything to do with you!"
Hearing his son's anger over the phone, Mr. Hu was speechless: "We didn't say we disagreed, so tell us what the other party's situation is!"
Hu Jian replied, "There's no need to tell you, because she simply won't go to see you!"
Mr. Hu retorted, "Is it something you're so ashamed to face? You won't even see your parents-in-law!"
Hu Jian replied, "The other party is a very nice person. The reason they won't see you is because you've gone too far! You can't stand anyone who isn't chosen by you! If that's the case, why bring them back?"
"Besides, even if you choose him, you'll still criticize him if he can't give birth to a son! What era are we living in? Why are you still so obsessed with having a son? Let me tell you clearly now, having a son is unreliable. I'll show you with my actions that sons won't be manipulated by you. There are plenty of unfilial sons out there!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Hu became anxious, feeling that his son was no longer the same as before. At least he used to have some dignity, but now he spoke to him like an enemy.
"If you continue like this, you can forget about getting a single penny of the houses and assets under our names!" Mr. Hu tried to threaten him with the assets, after all, the houses under his name were worth a lot of money. "Your mother and I also have high pensions, don't you want us to help you out?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Jian gave a cold laugh: "Your property, your pension, you can give them to whomever you want! I don't want a single penny!"
After saying that, Hu Jian hung up the phone.
Mr. and Mrs. Hu looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw the call had been disconnected again.
"This is outrageous! She just got her marriage certificate and she's already trying to instigate our son to disown us. This woman is incredibly cunning!" Mrs. Hu frowned deeply. "We can't just sit here and wait to be killed. I'm calling my sister right now to teach this brat a lesson!"
Mr. Hu nodded: "Alright, hit him now! We absolutely cannot let our son escape our grasp; we'll have to rely on him for our old age!"
Hu Jian then received a call from his aunt: "Auntie, please stop trying to persuade me. You know our family situation better than anyone! If you keep lecturing me like before, I won't acknowledge you as my aunt anymore. After all, I don't even acknowledge my parents anymore, let alone an aunt who is so distant!"
Before Aunt Hu could speak, Hu Jian hung up the phone.
Although Aunt Hu felt that her nephew was wrong, she also knew what kind of people her sister and brother-in-law were.
When Aunt Hu called them back, she said, "Since you've already got your marriage certificate, don't cause any more trouble! Hu Jian was hurt a lot because of you in his previous marriage. It's normal for him to have some complaints about you now that he's remarried!"
Mrs. Hu was a little unhappy: "But that's my son! I carried him for ten months, raised him with great difficulty, and even found him such a good job! Is this how he repays us?"
Aunt Hu's face twitched: "You said it yourself, that's your child, and he's all grown up now. They say a son is no longer under his mother's control once he grows up. You could control him when he was little, so how can you control him when he's old? Even my usually polite nephew says he doesn't recognize me as his aunt anymore, which shows how angry he is!"
“If you listen to me, don’t force Hu Jian now! He’ll come back naturally once he calms down! If you dare to cause trouble at Hu Jian’s workplace now, don’t call me again for anything related to your family!”
Despite their best efforts, Hu Jian's parents couldn't get him to give in. Everyone congratulated them on their son's remarriage, but they hadn't even seen their daughter-in-law.
When the construction team boss heard that Zhang Xiufang and Hu Jian had already obtained their marriage certificate, he wanted to finish building the house as soon as possible, so he transferred construction workers from another less urgent construction site to work together!
The main structure of the house was completed in just half a month! Now we need to wait a while before we can continue construction.
However, many materials have already been prepared, and once the time comes, the subsequent procedures can be completed quickly.
Zhang Xiufang and Hu Jian bring their child to see the house every day. Seeing a three-story building rising from the site that was once demolished into ruins fills them with a sense of accomplishment.
Originally, Zhang Xiufang only wanted to build a two-and-a-half-story house, with a living room and some standard facilities on the first floor, and three bedrooms on the second floor, but Grandpa Liu felt that was inappropriate.
Although there are few of them now, what if they have children in the future? So they need to build three stories to meet their future needs.
In addition, considering the blended family, Mr. Liu thought that Xu Chongyang and Hu Xiaoli were not biological siblings after all.
From now on, Hu Xiaoli will live with her parents in a room on the second floor, while Xu Chongyang will live on the third floor, which will be more convenient.
If we have more children in the future, if it's a boy, he'll live upstairs with his older brother; if it's a girl, she'll live downstairs with her older sister.
Not only did Grandpa Liu spend more money, but his thoughtfulness and long-term consideration deeply moved Zhang Xiufang and Hu Jian.
When Xu Chongyang learned that he would be living on the third floor, he was so happy that he did somersaults, feeling that such a large space was all his.
Thanks to Grandpa Liu's thoughtfulness, even though his mother remarried, he didn't feel wronged. On the contrary, he felt that the house was more lively.
