Chapter 246, Life is like a play, it all depends on acting (please subscribe)
On the other side, Shen Qiushan was directly shocked by Liu Qingwu's story.
He seemed to have only seen similar things in some social news. In some families, the idea of favoring boys over girls was very serious, as if daughters were born to be tools to make money and only sons were their own children.
Parents in such families often instill in their daughters the idea of "brother priority" from an early age, creating countless "brother-supporting demons".
Therefore, when choosing a spouse, many men are unwilling to find a woman with a younger brother.
Because you are not sure whether you have married a "brother-supporting demon"!
It is not uncommon to see news online about women secretly using all their savings to buy a house, a car, or pay a betrothal gift to their younger brother.
But news is news after all, and Liu Qingwu is someone close to him, so it has had a great impact on Shen Qiushan.
Fortunately, Liu Qingwu did not choose to be a "brother-supporting demon" with no bottom line. She chose to bravely draw a line with such a native family.
"The money is now in my mother's card. I'm worried that she might actually buy a house, so I have to stabilize her first."
"Old Shen, I may need your help..."
Going to court to sue would take time no matter how quickly, so Liu Qingwu thought about calming her mother and brother down first, and a plan quickly formed in her mind.
After ending the call with Shen Qiushan, Liu Qingwu adjusted her mood.
At this moment, my mother Li Guilian, my younger brother Liu Xiaojie and several neighbors just walked out of the unit door.
"Qingwu, your mother and your brother just told us what happened. The way they handled this matter was indeed a bit inappropriate."
"But Xiaojie also said that he was desperate and had no other choice. After all, you are a family. Don't ruin your relationship because of this little money."
Liu Yufen stepped forward and acted as a peacemaker.
"Sister, all the mistakes are my fault!"
"I came up with the idea, don't blame mom!"
Liu Xiaojie took the opportunity to apologize and took all the responsibility on himself.
"What does your girlfriend do?"
"When did you meet?"
Liu Qingwu stopped talking about money and pretended to be concerned about her brother's marriage.
"We met through a friend's introduction. She used to work in Sanjiang. Since the Chinese New Year is coming soon, she came back early."
"We have been dating for two months, sister. I really like Lili. She is much better than the girlfriends I dated before..."
Speaking of his girlfriend, Liu Xiaojie immediately perked up and started talking about her with great excitement.
“Qingwu, if you want to meet Xiaojie’s girlfriend, you can go to the agency with us.”
"Please also help me with the reference for that house!"
Li Guilian spoke up.
"Okay, I'll go see her."
Liu Qingwu nodded and made a compromise look.
"That's right!"
"We are all family, there is nothing we can't get over!"
Liu Yufen tried to smooth things over: "Besides, Xiaojie's marriage is a happy event. If he really needs money, we old neighbors can help to gather the money."
"That's right."
"We can't let money ruin our relationship!"
The neighbors all echoed the sentiment, seemingly very warm-hearted, and spoke nicely.
But Liu Qingwu knew that they were just talking nicely. If their own interests were really involved, they would shout louder than anyone else.
"Aunt Liu, Aunt Zhang, our family is so blessed to have neighbors like you."
"I take your words seriously!"
Liu Qingwu responded with a fake smile on her face, seemingly enthusiastic.
“We speak from the heart.”
"As neighbors for so many years, of course we all hope that everyone can live a good life."
Liu Yufen immediately replied with a smile.
"Aunt Liu, I won't be polite then."
"Xiao Jie wants to buy a house, but he's short of money. Can you lend him 20,000 yuan?"
Liu Yufen said just now that if you need money, just let us know and everyone can help to gather the money.
Liu Qingwu spoke directly and bluntly. Her purpose was simple, to expose the hypocrisy of these people.
Didn't you say you would help?
Now's your chance to help!
Sure enough, after hearing what Liu Qingwu said, the smile on Liu Yufen's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a look of embarrassment.
She was stunned for a moment, then she stammered, "Oh, logically speaking, 20,000 is not a lot, but unfortunately, my brother's child got married a few days ago, and I lent out all the money."
Liu Qingwu had expected this result. She turned to look at Zhang Yayun, who was also the first to watch the show. She was the one who agreed the loudest just now.
"Aunt Zhang, is it convenient for you?"
"I'll just use 20,000. When Xiaojie gets married and collects the gift money, I'll pay you back..."
"Well, your uncle hasn't had much work lately, and there's really not much money at home."
"Oh, I have to go buy groceries."
Zhang Yayun said something perfunctorily and just slipped away.
With her leading the way, Liu Yufen and others also dispersed, fearing that Liu Qingwu would ask them to borrow money.
The scene was bustling just now, but in the blink of an eye, only Liu Qingwu, her mother, daughter (son) and three others were left.
"This group of people just want to make fun of our family."
“No one really wants to help.”
As neighbors for decades, Li Guilian naturally knew each of them. They all said nice things to each other, but when the real action came, they would run away faster than anyone else.
"That's right. I still have to rely on my sister at the critical moment!"
Liu Xiaojie immediately followed up the conversation and started to flatter him.
Liu Qingwu didn't respond and pointed in the direction of the community gate: "Let's go to the agency!"
The county town is not big.
The three of them took a taxi and arrived in ten minutes.
Liu Xiaojie's girlfriend Xu Huili had become impatient waiting. She was standing at the door of the agency, ready to call Liu Xiaojie again, but as soon as she took out her cell phone, the man arrived.
Xu Huili originally thought that only Li Guilian, Liu Xiaojie and her son came, but unexpectedly there was also a beautiful woman.
Xu Huili knew Liu Xiaojie's family situation and immediately guessed Liu Qingwu's identity.
"This is my sister, right?"
"I often hear Xiaojie mention you. I heard that you are a teacher at Sanjiang University. That's amazing!"
Xu Huili is very good at talking. As soon as they met, she started by praising Liu Qingwu.
Liu Qingwu looked at Xu Huili. She was a little shorter than her, about 163cm tall. She looked okay, but her makeup was a little too heavy.
Her overall outfit seems quite fashionable at first glance, but upon closer inspection you'll find that the clothes with big-brand logos on them are all knockoffs, giving her a sense of powerlessness as if she's trying to look fashionable without having the money.
"Hello."
Liu Qingwu nodded politely, then asked casually, "I heard from Xiaojie that you used to work in Sanjiang. What kind of job did you do?"
"Sale."
Xu Huili simply replied with two words and did not introduce her work in detail.
From this point, it can be judged that her job in Sanjiang should not be considered decent.
"I'm going to ask you this question, but are you not going to return to Sanjiang to develop your career?"
"You may know the situation of our family. If you buy a house in your hometown, it is basically impossible to buy a house in Sanjiang."
Liu Qingwu threw out the prepared hook.
As expected, after hearing what Liu Qingwu said, Xu Huili's eyes suddenly lit up. She didn't propose to buy a house in Sanjiang before because she knew that the housing prices in Sanjiang were too expensive and Liu Xiaojie probably couldn't afford it.
But according to what Liu Qingwu, the "eldest sister-in-law", said, it seems that the Liu family can buy a house in Sanjiang, which would naturally be the best thing.
In an instant, Xu Huili suddenly felt that the house she was about to negotiate was not attractive anymore.
