Chapter 258 She Only Likes Vulgar Things
The woman held the child in her arms, her eyes red with heartache, and she looked at the old lady with undisguised disgust.
The boy's father rubbed his child's head with red eyes, asked the mother and son to stand back, and walked to the old lady, "Mom, what do you want to do?"
"Don't you know best what I want?" The old lady turned to look at him with sharp eyes. How could there be any motherly love in her eyes?
"Your son has done his best to take care of your life. I am only capable of this. I cannot be like other people's sons, with a nanny at home and a car to ride when I go out. We are just ordinary people, from an ordinary family. We don't have the ability you think we do."
The child's father looked at her with a bleak expression, his eyes full of helplessness.
"That's because you don't have the ability. Look at the Wu family next door. They have a widowed mother and four children. Their life was as hard as it was before. Their life is as good as it is now. Little Wu is very promising. He made a lot of money in just two years. Not only did he buy a new house, he also bought a car."
"Back then, her family had the hardest life in the entire community. Now the children have grown up, and each one is more promising than the other. But what about you? When you were a child, you ate better and wore newer clothes than them, but now you have grown up to be a poor man. What hope do I have for you?"
The old lady became more and more excited as she spoke, wishing she could tell all the grievances she had suffered over the years. Because she spoke so excitedly and loudly, she even attracted people under the overpass.
The child's father looked at her with a flushed face, nodding his lips, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
But the mother of the child next to her couldn't stand it anymore.
"Mom, how can you say that? No one knows what kind of life Sun Qiang led, so are you pretending not to know? When he was five or six years old, he started to play with the stove, and he barely made it to junior high school before dropping out. What's the reason? Do you want me to tell you?"
"Now, Sun Qiang has taken on another job in addition to his regular job, just to fill your hole. We both work hard, and most of our wages are spent on you, and you are still not satisfied?"
"Which parent doesn't hope for the best for their children and grandchildren? And you complain every day. We have already tried our best... Don't even think about persecuting my children anymore. If you don't like us, we will move out and never bother you again."
Listening to his daughter-in-law's heart-wrenching crying, Sun Qiang groaned, knelt in front of the old lady and kowtowed.
"Mom, I'm sorry for not letting you live a good life. It's my incompetence. But I've done my best. I'll move out tomorrow so you don't have to see it and won't be bothered."
As he said this, he kowtowed several times, got up, picked up the child, pulled his wife, and turned away.
The people watching the excitement nearby listened and looked at the old lady with eyes full of accusation.
"How can you be so cruel as a mother? You will regret it later if you make your son sick."
"That's not a big deal. Such a filial son should be content."
"You have to be down-to-earth and not compare yourself with others. Otherwise, you will always be tired and exhausted and unable to catch up."
Listening to the people's accusations, the old lady's face darkened, her lips trembled, and she pointed at the two people's backs.
"He is a good-for-nothing who forgets his mother after marrying a wife. He can't even meet my demands. What's the point of raising a son?"
As she spoke, the old lady slapped her thigh, tears streaming down her face.
Dai Qing sat on the mat and raised her hand to pinch her brows. "Parents are their children's first teachers. You should be glad that your son is not like you. He has inherited his father's hardworking character. Just be happy."
"Humph, you are just talking without any pain in your back, but you are nothing."
The old lady wiped her eyes, stood up, and glared at Dai Qing and Lu Banxian.
"What a crappy fortune teller, bah~"
Dai Qing: “…”
This is truly an unprovoked disaster.
"Hey, this old lady, why is she so unreasonable?" Lu Banxian pointed at her, "So we have been trying to persuade her for a long time, but in the end, we are left with nothing?"
No wonder she has a mean face, she is not wronged.
After the three chances were used up, Dai Qing packed up her things, gave Lu Banxian ten yuan as usual, and then took Xiao Hei home.
When passing by the vegetable market, Dai Qing bought half a chicken. She roasted the other half at noon, added a potato, and ate it with rice. It was very delicious.
After eating and drinking, it's time for lunch break.
In the next few days, Dai Qing went to the stall on the overpass every morning and watched three people every day until they were all gone.
That morning, Dai Qing had just finished breakfast and was tidying up things in the yard when she heard someone knocking on the door.
When I opened the door and saw Secretary Liu standing at the door, I was surprised.
"Secretary Liu?"
"Excuse me, Miss Dai. I came here specially to thank you on behalf of the boss." Secretary Liu looked at Dai Qing with a respectful expression and a humble attitude.
"Come in."
Dai Qing invited her into the living room, poured her some tea, and waited for her to speak.
"That day at the Zhang family's wedding, you mentioned that the boss should stay away from water sources, and the boss took your advice to heart. But during the site inspection yesterday, the construction company proposed to dig an artificial lake and connect it to the river outside to enhance the park's landscape. Having running water flowing in the park is also good for Feng Shui."
"The artificial lake was being dug, but no water had been released yet, so the boss didn't pay much attention. Who knew that the construction site would dig up a water source, and the place where the boss was standing collapsed, almost burying him under the mud and sand."
Secretary Liu still feels scared when she thinks about it now. She was right next to the boss at the time, and if he had taken one more step, she would have fallen as well.
"The boss said that it was thanks to your reminder that a disaster was avoided, and he asked me to come here to thank you."
As he spoke, Secretary Li took out a leather bag from his bag and placed it on the table.
"This is a little gift from our boss. I hope you will accept it."
"Boss Su, you are too polite. I have already received the red envelope, so I will not hide anything that needs to be said." Looking at the brown paper bag on the table, I knew a lot without opening it.
"The boss said that those who see through the Way of Heaven are all highly capable people, and fighting against the Way of Heaven for a chance of survival also comes at a price. These money and vulgar things can only express our feelings, and they are not important to the master."
Secretary Liu said as he stood up and bowed to her.
"I will come to thank you in person when the boss recovers."
Dai Qing smiled gently, "No need to do that, as long as the intention is there."
There's no need to visit her, she only cares about worldly things.
After seeing Secretary Liu off, Dai Qing came back to check and found that there was exactly 20,000 yuan.
Sure enough, the lives of rich people are valuable.
Only when you have money will you cherish your life. Otherwise, no matter how much money you make, it will be useless if you don’t have the life to spend it.
It was deposited in the bank in a moment, and there was 70,000 yuan in her card.
It was about to break through the 100,000 mark, and it kept getting stronger.
The numbers on the bank card kept going up, and Dai Qing walked with a breeze.
But when I thought about the housing prices in the capital, my excited mood was immediately poured with a bucket of cold water. If I want to live in a courtyard house of similar quality, I still have to work hard.
Because Secretary Liu was late, Dai Qing went to the bank again, so she could only go to the stall on the overpass in the afternoon.
