Bai Chi's guess turned out to be correct. When the family came back with bags in the evening and saw Bai Chi, they were not surprised, nor did they apologize for forgetting that he was home today and that there was no one at home.
On the contrary, the first thing he did when he saw Bai Chi was to ask him why he didn't buy anything when he went home for the New Year.
"Look at the others who come back for the New Year. They all come with bags of shopping, cigarettes for Dad, gold for Mom. But look at you. You've been working, and you still come back empty-handed. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if you tell others about it?"
The others came back after dinner, and Bai Chi was eating instant noodles.
He bought this instant noodles from the convenience store next door after everyone else came back.
Even the owner of the convenience store was surprised that he wanted to eat instant noodles after just returning home.
Bai Chi didn't react much to his father's sarcasm. He just ate instant noodles by himself. It must be said that after eating too much of Yunxiao's delicious food, it was really delicious to eat some junk food occasionally.
However, his attitude obviously angered his parents and younger brother, and the three of them started lecturing him, making all kinds of comparisons, saying that everyone's family had just graduated and started working, and what they bought when they got home.
"Master, they are too hypocritical. I have checked the ones he mentioned. Although they have just graduated, their families have paid for half a year's rent and occasionally help them out!"
Xiao Hei was also indignant.
"You've been giving your family 1,000 yuan every month since your first month at work. You borrowed 2,000 yuan for rent back then, and you've already given them 6,000 yuan this year. Excluding the loans, how much can you buy with the remaining 4,000 yuan?"
At this time, his father had already started talking about the difficulty of raising a child, how much money it cost him to raise the child, etc.
Bai Chi finally understood why the original owner had such a poor ability to withstand pressure and became depressed so easily.
Growing up in such an environment, every bit of effort made by parents needs to be reminded countless times that these are the gifts we give you, and they are the rewards you must double your dedication, etc.
Children who grow up in such a family environment are mentally unhealthy to begin with, and they may even be deliberately drugged in order to defraud insurance money.
Probably because Bai Chi didn't respond, they lost interest after scolding him, and in the end it was the younger brother who took care of it.
"Brother, don't blame my parents for nagging you. They say an elder brother is like a father. You've graduated and been working for half a year. It's time for you to take on the responsibility of supporting the family."
After saying that, he even patted Bai Chi's shoulder, as if to say, "I'm doing this for your own good."
The parents looked very pleased.
Xiao Hei was so angry that he jumped up and down in the space, swearing all kinds of things, which surprised Bai Chi.
But soon the family of three had no time to lecture Bai Chi anymore, because the younger brother's girlfriend and her family were coming over the next day.
This was their first time visiting their brother's hometown, and it was also a very formal meeting.
As long as nothing unexpected happens tomorrow, we should discuss getting married.
It was already late, and they had to call relatives one after another and prepare meals for tomorrow.
Bai Chi got some peace and quiet, ate his instant noodles and went back to his room, while the other three didn't pay any attention to him at all. Even until now, they hadn't mentioned anything about tomorrow.
The original owner was completely excluded from this family of three. No wonder he eventually starved to death in the rental house and was not even qualified to live in this old house.
As soon as the door closed, Bai Chi returned to the rental house thousands of miles away.
After being away for a few days, I felt that the room was deserted. I took a leisurely shower and came out. After thinking about it, I decided to go and bring Yunxiao back from work.
