It wasn't that Xia Ruzheng didn't want to tell the truth, but he didn't dare. If he did, he'd be drowned in envy and jealousy. Then, next year, he'd be asked to bring all sorts of indirect relatives to Guangzhou, and maybe even cover their food and lodging. Would he really have to bring a team of migrant workers with him then?
Besides, where was it so easy to find a job in the city? Could he just stay in his own restaurant and Wen Zhichao's tape store?
Think about that situation, a bunch of people who only know how to eat and sleep, waiting for you to give them money. How sour!
As for those progressive young relatives, Xia Ruzheng felt that there was no need to identify them himself. Wen Zhichao was there, and these relatives were all Wen Zhichao's relatives. No matter what he did, it would be wrong. It would be better to let Wen Zhichao come forward and leave others with the impression of an obedient young wife. It would really kill two birds with one stone.
Xia Ruzheng admired himself more and more.
Wen Zhichao's situation was even worse than Xia Ruzheng's. He wasn't just a bunch of aunts and uncles, he was a bunch of uncles. They didn't just ask him what he did and how much he earned, then go on and on about how they'd taken care of him as a child. They'd talk about a man's abilities, his loyalty, and the principles of life, and Wen Zhichao couldn't help but nod in agreement.
After saying the big truths, he recalled his childhood and said how much he took care of Wen Zhichao in the past, such as helping him drive away the children who bullied him, and giving him a piece of rice crust when he was in trouble. In fact, Wen Zhichao had no impression of these things at all, but he still nodded and expressed his gratitude, and was moved to tears. Otherwise, he would have no grateful heart and his kindness would have been in vain.
After saying this, they talked about the present, talking about how their sons and grandsons were disappointing, and openly and secretly wanting Wen Zhichao to take them to Guangzhou. Speaking of which, with the sentimentality of the wine, they should have been drinking enough by now. As long as Wen Zhichao nodded drunkenly, everyone would take it as an agreement, and when he left, they would definitely let him take those people with him.
But how could Wen Zhichao be so easily fooled? As soon as this matter was brought up, he immediately started to complain, saying how tired he was outside, how hard it was for him outside, not only was he exposed to the wind, sun and rain, but he also had to build good relationships with all parties. If he accidentally ran into a gang fight, ran too slowly, and lost his life, he would have nowhere to complain! Fortunately, he ran fast! Also, Guangzhou people are so xenophobic, if you can't speak Cantonese, they won't do business with you! So I worked so hard to finally learn something that looked nothing like it, and could pretend to be half a Guangzhou person! Can't you see that I have become darker and thinner? I was so tired that I didn't even have time to hold my wife and give birth to a child, so my wife hasn't gotten pregnant for more than a year after we got married!
Wen Zhichao's story was half-hearted, so the emotions were perfectly placed. Plus, everyone thought he couldn't be sober after drinking so much. They never imagined that Wen Zhichao wasn't actually drunk at all, but was pretending to be drunk and complaining.
And when everyone heard those things, they immediately felt that Guangzhou was a den of tigers and wolves. It was already very good that Wen Zhichao could come back safely. Other people have this ability, but their own children don’t. Don’t lose your life in Guangzhou!
Seeing this, the elders exchanged a few glances. It seemed like this matter needed to be put on hold, and there was no need to rush. We could wait and see how things went. He had only been there for a year, and he was doing well enough for himself, so how could he care about his children and grandchildren? Why not wait two years until his situation stabilized? Then we could talk about this matter. It would be difficult for him to refuse, right?
Backed by his experience and powerful acting, Wen Zhichao finally escaped the disaster. He wiped a cold sweat as he returned to his room. This group of relatives were indeed masters of seeking benefits and avoiding harm. Back then, he was considered an alien because of his gray hair, and none of them treated him badly. But now that he had made some money, they were able to dig up so many old stories to talk about friendship with him.
The couple looked as if they had been saved in the house, and then they looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They couldn't get rid of these relatives.
"What did you say?" Xia Ruzheng wiped Wen Zhichao's face. Wen Zhichao's face was almost purple from drinking too much.
"Isn't it just that business is hard and tiring, and there will be no good life there? What about you?"
"We two really have a tacit understanding! I said the same thing! I didn't dare to say anything serious because I saw my mother's face almost turned green. Otherwise, I would have exaggerated it ten times!"
Wen Zhichao was already completely drunk, but he kept muttering, "That's good, that's good. Otherwise, they would have added a few words and we would have been exposed."
Fortunately, my wife doesn't like to show off, otherwise, I would really be in big trouble. Fortunately, I married a good wife... Before falling asleep, Wen Zhichao was still thinking in a daze, mumbling to himself: "Wife, you are so good..."
Xia Ruzheng found it funny. Is this considered good? If it were another man, he would definitely feel ashamed! After all, Wen Zhichao is actually a very good husband, isn't he?
Xia Ruzheng kissed Wen Zhichao on the lips, lay down, closed his eyes, and said, "Go to sleep, you'll be busy tomorrow!"
During the Chinese New Year, the busiest people are Wen Zhichao and his wife. There are many people who come to inquire about news and hear new things. Only when they go back to her parents' home on the second day of the New Year do they feel a little relaxed and at peace.
Xia Ruqian even mocked Xia Ruzheng: "How is it? Are you living a good life?"
Xia Ruzheng rolled his eyes at her and said, "You're still gloating over other people's misfortunes! Forget it, you'll have it in the future too!"
When the young couple starts their own business and makes money, they will realize that those relatives are not so easy to deal with. Maybe they will come to learn from them!
In this regard, Xia Chunfu simply asked the young couple to be careful to hide their wealth and not show it to others. It would be okay if it was just their relatives, but it would be dangerous if they were targeted by someone with bad intentions.
