Chapter 8: Stingy Zhao Yanshu
Zhao Yanshu quickly shook his head, "No, it was the pocket money you gave me before. I didn't spend it. I saved it all."
Lin Yuzhu frowned after hearing this, "Why not? Didn't I tell you to buy something to eat in advance if you get hungry while working overtime? You didn't buy anything?"
Every month, Zhao Yanshu would give her the five yuan he received directly, and after Lin Yuzhu got it, she would give him a few cents for him to spend.
Their loading and unloading team sometimes needs to work overtime, and they would be hungry and exhausted until late at night. Others would buy some buns and steamed buns in advance to eat, but who would have thought that he had never bought any. No wonder he got stomach problems in middle age.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuzhu's face turned ugly.
Zhao Yanshu immediately explained when he saw it: "It's okay, I'm not hungry, don't worry, I ate a lot for dinner, I won't be hungry in the middle of the night."
"How can you not be hungry after doing so much work?"
Hearing him say this, Lin Yuzhu glared at him fiercely. She knew that he was always stingy, but she didn't expect that he would be so stingy towards her.
I felt so distressed, but I still reminded him: "Remember to eat next time. Don't save this little money. Be careful not to starve yourself and you will have to spend more money on treatment."
Hearing that she finally gave in, Zhao Yanshu also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly assured her: "Don't worry, it won't happen."
After saying that, I saw that she frowned again, so I quickly changed the subject and asked, "You haven't told me how you are going to convince your parents to agree?"
Lin Yuzhu knew that he was trying to change the subject, but she didn't say anything else. It was probably useless to say anything to him given his personality. She would just keep a closer eye on him in the future.
Then I put the topic aside and answered him: "Don't you realize that you and your brothers have different names?"
The name Zhao Yanshu was obviously given by a learned person, but the other brothers of the Zhao family were not named like that. The eldest brother is Zhao Hongbing, the second brother is Zhao Hongmin, and the fourth brother is Zhao Hongjun.
Only he is different.
Zhao Yanshu heard this and said, "I know. Didn't I tell you the reason? I was supposed to be called the fourth child's name, but because I was in poor health when I was born, my mother asked someone to help me check it out. They said that it would be easier to raise me if I changed my name, so that's why I was given this name."
Lin Yuzhu curled her lips after hearing this. The old couple of the Zhao family were really good at making up stories. If she didn't know the truth, she would have really thought how much they loved their son.
It was because of this that Zhao Yanshu felt over the years that his parents did not unlove him, but were silently filial to them.
Seeing her husband who was unaware of it, Lin Yuzhu didn't want to hide it from him anymore, so she said directly: "I'm going to tell you something, don't be surprised."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Yanshu looked at her curiously.
Lin Yuzhu thought about it and said the speech she had prepared in advance.
"I saw my fifth cousin on the street some time ago."
Zhao Yanshu thought for a moment after hearing this, "The one from Nanshan Brigade?"
Lin Yuzhu nodded, "Yes, it's the one from your hometown. Didn't your fifth uncle fall down some time ago? The doctor in town said that he had internal bleeding and it was difficult to treat, so your cousin sent him to the Beijing Hospital.
I asked a few questions after I saw it, and told my parents when I got home. But my parents happened to be at my father's friend's house to give gifts that day, so they asked me to take the things to the hospital to see my fifth uncle. But this time when I went there, I heard something he said. "
"What's up?"
Seeing her talking about this, Zhao Yanshu was also a little curious. Since their family moved to the capital, they had less contact with their hometown and only went back occasionally during the holidays, so they were not familiar with the relatives there.
I don’t know what it is that is worth her speaking out about.
