She didn't want to think so, but the fact was that the ginseng she had given before was more than enough to repay her kindness, and she also wasted a spiritual medicine seed.
When Xu Qingzhi thinks about friendship, he can be nice to people in many ways and doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
But once she sees clearly, she can quickly pull away, so heartless.
This applies to everyone, including family members.
She had previously told her mother about Wang Jinlan’s money scam out of respect and let her mother handle it herself.
This time, seeing clearly that her grandparents had no bottom line, she would never condone them.
Xu Qingzhi held the ginseng tightly in his hand without letting go. "This ginseng was sent by my friend. It costs 100,000 yuan per ginseng, and I haven't paid him yet. Grandma, since the doctor said it's effective, for grandpa's health, you should buy it. Such good ginseng is not easy to find."
"One hundred thousand!" Chen Xiaoqing gasped, his face not looking very good.
Wang Kaifu's usually kind face wrinkled a little at this moment. At such an old age, how could he not hear the hidden meaning of his granddaughter's words? He sighed and said, "Qingzhi, grandpa doesn't want to eat this ginseng anymore. It's too expensive. You don't have to send it to me anymore in the future."
"Okay." Xu Qingzhi agreed quickly, and in the next second he put the ginseng back into his bag. He continued, "I asked someone to sort out the money my mother transferred to my aunt, as well as the money my aunt actually spent in the hospital. I have the bill data in my hands. In addition to the 100,000 last time, there is still a shortfall of 236,817 yuan and 43 cents."
Wang Jinlan's face changed drastically: "Qingzhi, why do you talk to your aunt like that!"
Wang Kaifu raised his hand to wipe his eyes and sighed, "If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have treated the disease and would have died. Now I have become a burden to your children and caused resentment among you."
Chen Xiaoqing: "Qingzhi, we are a family after all. Last time your mother said that she didn't care about it anymore. This matter has passed. You bring this up now..."
Wang Yanmei suddenly shouted, "This can't be allowed!"
Her face turned red with anger and she glanced at her father, her mother, and her sister's faces one by one.
She always had a loud voice, and now she yelled at the top of her lungs: "I can't get over it! I can't get over it! It's a pity that I only see it clearly now. Wang Jinlan is not doing well. I am the one who is not doing well! In order to treat my father's illness, Qingzhi didn't have enough tuition on the first day of the senior year registration. Fuqiang called everyone to borrow money and scraped together enough tuition. If you don't have money, don't run a supermarket. Wang Jinlan's children are treasures, but my children are weeds?"
"Dad, I accept the money for your medical treatment because you gave birth to me and raised me."
"I still need more than 200,000 yuan. Wang Jinlan must pay me back in full."
When Wang Yanmei yelled in such a loud voice, the people playing cards in front stopped playing and came over to watch.
Xu Fuqiang came over and saw his wife's red eyes. He felt distressed: "What's wrong, Yanmei, what happened?"
Wang Yanmei gritted her teeth and her whole body was shaking.
Xu Fuqiang touched her back, patted it gently, and asked Xu Qingzhi: "What's wrong with your mother?"
Xu Qingzhi spoke loudly and truthfully: "Grandpa has been ill for so many years, and my aunt not only didn't spend a penny on his illness, but also cheated more than 300,000 yuan from our family."
When those who were playing cards heard this, they looked at each other in bewilderment. Everyone knew that the Wang family favored the eldest daughter. After all, the younger daughter was a married woman and could be divorced like water spilled.
But I didn't expect that he would be so biased.
Wang Linlin carried the child over and said, "Aunt, uncle, my mother is confused, don't be angry. Although I have only been married for a few years and have a child to raise, I promise to pay you back."
This sounds fine, but it's actually a very clever move.
If they continue to insist on this, it would seem that the Xu family is going too far.
Since she was going to take the lead, Xu Qingzhi smiled and took out a piece of paper and a pen from her bag: "Two hundred and thirty-six thousand eight hundred and seventeen dollars and forty-three cents, sister, I have already prepared the IOU, please sign it."
The IOU had been prepared since she collected the information. She thought her mother was so stupid that she would not care about it, so she just threw it in the warehouse. Now it comes in handy.
Wang Linlin was stunned holding the child.
Wang Jinlan burst into tears and pushed Wang Linlin away, "I'll sign."
As he said this, he quickly wrote his name and stamped his handprint. But in his heart, he was thinking that Yan Mei was soft-hearted, and as long as she and her parents coaxed her later, she wouldn't have to pay back the money.
Xu Qingzhi put away the IOU and said, "Dad, let's go home."
Wang Kaifu tried to keep her, "Yanmei, please stay for dinner before you leave. Your mother knew you were coming, so she bought your favorite pig's trotters."
Xu Qingzhi looked at her mother. Wang Yanmei didn't even glance over there. She just said one word: "Let's go!"
The family of three got in the car.
The white car drove slowly forward on the road.
Wang Yanmei took a piece of paper to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and blew her nose.
"It's okay." Wang Yanmei shook her head and leaned her head against the back seat of the car, looking at the dark road illuminated by the headlights in front of her. "It turns out that a married daughter really has no mother's home. I don't plan to go back during the holidays in the future."
Xu Fuqiang: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say, Yanmei. Whatever you say goes, and you are the number one in our family."
While his parents were being affectionate, Xu Qingzhi said, "Mom, I asked someone to check and found out that my aunt actually saved some money to buy a house for her youngest son."
The little paper man she cut out by herself is omnipotent and is especially good at gathering information.
"How much does she have?" Wang Yanmei asked.
Xu Qingzhi said: "Now it's more than 500,000."
It is more than enough to pay back the money.
Wang Yanmei was already disheartened. She thought about how she had to beg for money from everyone for her father's illness over the years, and how her family lived in poverty. Fu Qiang was even laughed at and called a fool by outsiders. At that time, her two children could only buy a new set of clothes once a year during the winter and during the Chinese New Year.
She almost gnashed her teeth and said angrily, "She must pay back the money!"
Xu Qingzhi felt relieved after hearing her mother's words. Her mother was really awake.
"Okay, Mom, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore. If she doesn't pay me back, I'll arrange for someone to sue her, and the court will enforce it."
Wang Yanmei closed her eyes and said, "Okay, Qingzhi, I'll leave this matter to you."
She had heard before that other daughters-in-law were tricked by their parents into borrowing money, and the money was never repaid, and she even laughed at them for being stupid.
She felt that her parents were really good to her.
But no matter how good your childhood was, it could not overcome those feudal ideas.
She is a married daughter and an outsider. Only her elder sister who stayed at home is a family member with her parents.
Wang Yanmei suddenly felt a warmth on her hands and a faint fragrance wafted over, which was the scent of her daughter.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Qingzhi holding her hand, with a pair of bright eyes slightly curved, as beautiful as a crescent moon, and gently coaxing her: "Mom, you still have me and Zijun, and Dad."
Xu Qingzhi: "We will always be a family."
Wang Yanmei's eyes were filled with tears and she wanted to reach out and hug her daughter, but she was deeply troubled by the idea of showing her love, which made her feel particularly awkward at the moment.
Xu Qingzhi reached out and hugged her.
A warm hug seemed to dispel all the haze.
Wang Yanmei burst into tears, her voice choking with sobs: "Qingzhi, Mom will never treat you like this again. Whether you get married or not, you will always be Mom's daughter, the treasure that Mom raised from a small child to adulthood."
Wang Yanmei was rarely tender.
Xu Qingzhi patted her shoulder and said softly, "Okay, Mom, don't mention the unlucky word 'getting married' when things are so warm."
Wang Yanmei burst out laughing, and was crying and laughing at the same time.
After returning home, Wang Yanmei excitedly cooked a large table of dishes.
The loofahs were ripe, so she picked a few.
I made a bowl of garlic loofah vermicelli, stir-fried pork with chili, stir-fried duck with ginger, medicinal chicken soup, stir-fried water spinach, and shallot and egg.
Wang Yanmei ate with great relish. She picked up a piece of stir-fried pork with chili pepper and ate it, muttering, "It's still more comfortable to eat at home. I can buy pig's trotters myself when I go to the market the day after tomorrow."
Xu Qingzhi smiled, thinking of the pigs that had not been moved out of the space, and said, "Mom, I want to raise two or three pigs and kill them for the New Year. Pigs raised at home taste better, and we can also smoke some bacon."
Wang Yanmei agreed immediately: "Raise them if you want. Last time you said you wanted to raise pigs, and asked your dad to build two more pig pens when he built the chicken coop. Your dad has already built them for you."
Xu Fuqiang didn't know if he was picky, but he always felt that the taste of the pork with peppers was a little off. The pork outside didn't taste as fragrant as the peppers he made.
He drank his wine and said leisurely, "Think about the black pigs I raised when I was a kid. They ate the grass I cut, and after the autumn harvest, I fed them corn, pumpkin, sweet potato leaves, and rice bran. They grew up eating pure grains. After half a year, the pigs only grew to 200 to 300 kilograms, and their meat tasted especially delicious."
"Nowadays, pigs raised outside are fed with feed, and they become very fat in three months."
"Qingzhi, if you want to raise pigs, then do so. As long as you don't do anything bad, Dad will support you."
