Chapter 5
Wu Hangying also chimed in: "That's right, that country girl is not a good person. She asked us to compensate her with 1,000 yuan right away."
She also hoped that Zhong Guobing could marry Yao Zhenfang without having to worry about her sisters-in-law taking advantage of him.
If it were a country person, without a household registration, he would have no food rations, and would be eating and living for free.
"So many?" After being surprised, Zhong Guobing felt relieved and consoled himself: "This is good. I don't have to feel guilty anymore."
Still a little nervous: "Should we go wake her up for dinner?"
Uncle Zhong couldn't bear it anymore, so he put his dishes on the table and went out to borrow money.
Because the man Zhong married was Director Yao's only daughter, everyone in the staff building was willing to lend him seventy or eighty yuan.
Therefore, Uncle Zhong went to six houses and borrowed 400 yuan.
After he returned, he handed the money and the IOU to Aunt Zhong and said, "Keep these."
He frowned again and said to Zhong Guobing in a serious face: "Second brother, you have to pay back this thousand yuan yourself. If Director Yao and the others ask, just say that you borrowed the money to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University."
No matter which son the old couple will rely on for support in their later years, they have to keep the money in their hands.
Besides, if I give so much subsidy to the second son, the eldest son and his wife will definitely be dissatisfied. In the future, the third son will also ask for money, and even if we sell them, we won’t be able to raise so much money.
Zhong Guobing also agreed honestly: "I remember, I should pay back the money."
Wu Hangying was satisfied with what her father-in-law said, and stood up and said, "I'll go get the money."
Aunt Zhong accepted the 100 yuan given by her eldest daughter-in-law, and then said to her second son, "You can sleep on the floor in our room tonight."
Then he grumbled, "I was planning to clean up your room tonight, but now she's still asleep, so I can only wait until tomorrow morning to clean it up."
There are only three rooms in the house, and the Yao family said that they can stay at the Yao family on weekdays.
However, the old couple of the Zhong family had discussed it privately. Since their second son was about to become successful, they did not want him to get too close to the Yao family.
Therefore, they planned to let the third child move into their room, and give that room to the second child as a wedding house.
Anyway, since the third son is still young, he can make do with it for five or six years. By then, the eldest and second sons will have enough years of work experience and they should be able to get a share of the house.
Uncle Zhong glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already past eight o'clock. He prepared to go back to his room: "Okay, go to bed early."
Just at this time, Chu Hong woke up from her sleep.
After sleeping for two hours, she felt better. Although she still wanted to continue sleeping, she was hungry and had to eat something first.
So she simply packed up and went out. She was not afraid of seeing a stranger family, and she was casual as if she was at home: "Hello, Auntie, I'm hungry, what can I eat?"
Zhong Guomin was also very curious about what kind of person his second brother found in the countryside, and he was dumbfounded when he saw it.
She is 1.6 meters tall and slender, with clear black and white eyes on her round face, like the clearest spring, a high nose and a small mouth. She wears a white shirt and blue pants, and looks particularly pleasing to the eye.
It’s just that her skin color is not fair enough, it’s a light wheat color, otherwise it would look better.
Anyway, he thought she was prettier than Yao Zhenfang.
It’s just that Yao Zhenfang has a whiter complexion, wears smaller leather shoes, and dresses more fashionably.
When I think of the wife I married, who has freckles all over her face, is fat, not white enough, and has a bad temper, I feel so depressed.
Wu Hangying saw her man staring at another woman without blinking, and immediately became jealous. She pulled him into the room and said, "I have something to tell you."
"I left a bowl of porridge for you." Aunt Zhong really wanted to let her go, but she was afraid that she would make a fuss, so she could only bring her a bowl of leftovers.
Chu Hong looked at the sweet potato and brown rice porridge and had no appetite: "I can smell the aroma of meat. Guo Bing, go get me some and cook me a bowl of noodles."
As far as I can remember, Zhong Guobing is a good cook and he often cooks for the Song family.
Zhong Guobing looked guilty and uneasy when he saw her. He responded obediently, got up and went to the cupboard to get some noodles, turned on the stove and poured hot water into the pot: "Hey, sit for a while, it will be ready soon."
The Zhong couple felt a little breathless when they saw how 'virtuous' their second child was.
Chu Hong sat on the stool and said to herself, "It doesn't matter if I don't have meat to eat. I'll eat more at the banquet tomorrow."
When she came out, she had already looked at the faces of the Zhong family members, and did not see any murderous intent in their eyes.
Although she is a psychologist, she has only been working for less than half a year.
There are not many patients seeing psychologists nowadays, and patients and their families prefer to see older psychologists.
But even if you are not particularly experienced, you can still tell something about other people's moods from their eyes and expressions.
Uncle Zhong pounded his chest, feeling a little choked up. He was too irritated, but he couldn't lose his temper. He just said to his wife, "Go cut her a plate of pork head meat."
Then he looked at Chu Hong and said seriously, "We have prepared the money, but you have to write a letter of guarantee, promising to leave tomorrow morning. From now on, we will be strangers, and you and your family are not allowed to come to us again."
"You also have to write that you have nothing to do with my second child, and this money is just compensation for giving up your university place..."
Chu Hong didn't expect that they could raise the money so quickly, and wondered if she asked for too little.
But she was not prepared to regret it, for fear that they would do something desperate, so she agreed straightforwardly: "Okay, bring me paper and pen, I'll write it right away."
She wrote it according to Mr. Zhong's request and signed and sealed it with ink, making two copies, as formal as signing a contract.
Zhong Guobing brought a bowl of hot vegetable noodles, and Aunt Zhong placed a small plate of sliced braised pig ears in front of her. The old couple then went to their room to prepare money.
Chu Hong quickly finished all the noodles and braised pig ears, and did not forget to give her opinion: "The braised food is a bit salty, I need to drink more water."
Zhong Guobing brought some boiled water and watched her drink it in small sips. He spoke in a low voice with trepidation: "Xiaohong, I am sorry for you."
He was prepared to face Chu Hong's crying, but she acted like a relative visiting, which made him even more uneasy.
"Oh, I regret teaching my husband to seek a title." Chu Hong sighed and said sincerely, "I forgive you, really, I respect your choice, life in the countryside is too hard."
He is too soft-hearted. It's no use not forgiving him. It's better to say it in a nice way.
He also looked envious: "The city is really good, with bright electric lights, flat and clean cement roads, and I can work in a factory, get a salary and various coupons."
She will definitely not come to the city in the next few years. Work is too tiring. It is better to work at home as a warehouse manager. The work is easy and there is not much work to do.
Although it's only four centimeters a day.
But she didn't think it was too little, since she had money now.
