Chapter 422: Cuckold 1. Even a man like him can find a mistress to cheat on...
The weather in July is so hot that one just wants to lie down in front of the electric fan and become a popsicle that has melted into sugar water.
However, Yao Zhizhi still had to cheer up, pack up the things she needed and the books she wanted to read, and prepare to move to the small courtyard by the river.
This way, when my eldest brother comes with his three children, there will be enough room for them to stay.
As for letting the eldest brother and his friends stay in the guesthouse while the others remain as they are, Yao Zhizhi would never do such a thing.
Although she is not short of money and can easily cover the accommodation expenses for her eldest brother and the children, that would be really boring. The family is already separated by several cities and rarely get together. After finally spending a summer vacation together, they have to live in several different places. What's the point of getting together?
Besides, the weather is so hot and I'm too lazy to move. If we live separately, won't my eldest brother be hot walking on the road every time he sends the kids over?
In short, she wanted the whole family to live together in a lively and bustling atmosphere. Besides, the breeze by the river was very good, much cooler than here in the courtyard, and it was also close to her mother-in-law's workplace.
So after she received the call from her eldest brother, she started packing without hesitation.
Yao Weihua came over to help and said with a smile, "I went to the riverside and saw that there is a new cement road there. I will teach you how to drive when the time comes."
Yao Zhizhi was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Then we can study early in the morning before the sun rises, or in the evening after sunset. Forget about other times."
Yao Weihua took the large foreign book from her hand and took a look. It turned out to be Hugo's Les Miserables. He put the book into the large box beside him, wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Well, it's a bit unusually hot this year, but don't worry. I get up early every day and go to the market to buy all the vegetables, so I don't have to go out anymore."
Yao Zhizhi smiled and turned the fan towards the third brother, saying, "I'll go with you. You're dressed so brightly, there will definitely be people who want to rip you off."
Yao Weihua turned the fan's head back and said nonchalantly, "That's nothing. It's just a matter of paying a little more. As long as the things they sell are fresh, it's fine." But after thinking it over, he changed his tone and said, "If you really want to go, that's fine. I can teach you how to drive on the way back."
Yao Zhizhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She simply pressed the button on the fan head and shook her head so that she wouldn't have to fiddle with it. She smiled and teased, "If I really turned it on, would you dare sit in it? Aren't you afraid I'd drive the car into the river?"
Yao Weihua smiled and joked, "Go ahead. If you really have the ability to cross the river levee and get into the river, you can go to the United States to make a police and gangster movie. You can do the gunfight scenes."
"Come on, if I really drive in, you'll just start crying." Yao Zhizhi didn't believe it. She had a cold and a fever, which made her third brother so anxious. She didn't believe that if she really rushed into the river, her third brother would still have the mind to think about a gun battle movie?
She stuffed the last book into the box, turned around and went to the inner room to grab a towel and asked her third brother to wipe his sweat.
Yao Weihua didn't refute, but just said stubbornly: "I won't cry. What if your sister-in-law laughs at me later?"
"Don't worry, there's no sign of a sister-in-law yet." Yao Zhizhi also joked, "But you remind me, I should call my classmates and ask them to introduce me to a future sister-in-law."
Yao Weihua rolled his eyes. "Okay, okay, you're amazing. I won't say anything more. When it comes to urging me to get married, you're even more active than my parents."
"Brother, you are being unreasonable. You were the one who mentioned sister-in-law first this time. It can't be that your sister-in-law is making fun of you, right?" Yao Zhizhi retorted with reason and evidence.
But when it comes to his sister-in-law, Yao Weihua couldn't help but sigh. "What a pity! She's too busy and didn't have time to come this time. When transportation becomes more convenient, I'll fly back and visit the uncle and aunt from the Cui family. It's really not easy for them to help take care of the children all these years. What do you think? If I give them a house, wouldn't it be better?"
"Well, fine, just buy the one in the area you think is good. But I think there's no need to give it to them. Just put it in the name of your sister-in-law." After all, the elders of the Cui family are so old. If the house is put in their name, they will be gone in the future and they will have to go through the formalities again. It's better to do it all at once and give it directly to the people they care about most.
Yao Weihua also thought this was a good idea. He said seriously, "That's right. To be honest, our parents have been helping you and your second sister take care of the children. Our mother only helped with our eldest brother for a while in the first few years. Uncle and Aunt Cui haven't complained for all these years. It's time for us to show our appreciation. Let's call your second sister and buy something for them together."
"Okay, how about this, when I graduate, our whole family will try to go back to Northeast China together. By then, we will have almost everything prepared. Otherwise, we will be in a hurry now and won't have time to choose something good." Yao Zhizhi's suggestion made sense. After all, the reform and opening up had just begun, and housing in many places was still mainly public housing.
It’s not that public housing is bad, but this type of house often has a narrow layout and is too small. If you really want to buy one, it is collectively owned and very troublesome.
It would be better to wait another two years. When she graduates, if she wants to give something as a gift, Cui's parents won't be able to refuse her because she is a student. Besides, by then, there should be some commercial housing available, so she can have a good choice.
Yao Weihua understood what she meant. He bent down, picked up the full cardboard box, and walked out, saying, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll ask around in the next two years. If I'm going to buy something, I'll buy a good one."
Otherwise, why do the three children born to my eldest sister-in-law have the surnames of the Yao family, but the people who do the work are the parents of the Cui family?
Isn't this too bullying?
People are all made of flesh and blood. Cui's parents are reasonable, but Yao Weihua understands that his eldest brother is the one who benefits.
However, my eldest brother's income is limited, so there is no hope for him to buy a house for the time being, so let him do it.
Anyway, he is the big boss and has plenty of money. He enjoys his life, so naturally he wants to take his big brother with him to live a carefree life. However, although the big brother is not rich at present, he is not short of money. What he really lacks is moral injustice.
In a patriarchal society, since you have enjoyed the benefits of the right to pass on the woman's surname, it is your side that should be responsible for the child. Why should the woman have to pay so much?
Yao Weihua has seen a lot in Hong Kong in the past two years and has been deeply touched.
Many times, the party that pays cares not about the amount of money, but the attitude of the party that benefits.
So during the Chinese New Year in recent years, he would find a way to ask someone to bring some gifts to the Northeast, because the gift may be small but the thought is great.
The day after we moved, my eldest brother came with his three children. The small courtyard by the river was suddenly filled with people and it was very lively.
Yao Zhizhi chose a room on the third floor. Although it was exposed to the west sun and not as cool as the second floor, her eldest brother was a guest from afar, so of course the coolest room on the second floor was reserved for her eldest brother.
In this way, her parents-in-law and parents each lived in a room on the first floor, and her family and her third brother lived on the third floor. As for her second sister's family, because her second sister was busy with work and didn't want to climb the stairs, and Yang Shuming was even busier than a top, the couple chose the east wing, where there was no Western-style building, but the old style of a quadrangle courtyard.
The four children in their family lived on the second and third floors respectively. The boy squeezed in with Yao Weihua and Yao Weiguo, while the girl shared a room with Yao Dan. This way, they could enjoy the cross-ventilation and it would be cooler when studying.
As the eldest of three children, Yao Dan usually takes good care of her younger siblings. Even if the adults are out on business, she and Guanying will be responsible for the safety of the girls and boys respectively.
So when Yao Zhizhi was learning to drive, she basically had nothing to worry about.
In less than a week, she had already mastered starting the car. Yao Weihua smiled and joked, "Aren't you going to drive into the river? Why aren't you driving anymore?"
"No way. This car is so difficult to handle. Only a fool would let it get soaked in water." Yao Zhizhi has already fallen in love with the feeling of driving for a while, but she has just started learning and dares not drive too fast. Every morning and evening, she moves along the river like an iron snail. Many anglers have noticed her, and some who recognize her will greet her.
She smiled and greeted the fisherman from the Air Force: "Brother Long, did you catch a lot today? If you can't finish them, I'll buy you two."
"Don't mention it. I set up a bait in the middle of the night, and I don't know which bastard sneaked in and took advantage of me. No one took the bait today." Brother Long's full name is Deng Xinglong. He opened a small shop at the pier by the river so that those boatmen can fill their stomachs with something to eat after getting ashore. Brother Long is quite smart. Regardless of whether the boatmen buy anything or not, he provides free tea.
After all, it's so hot and we have to run around outside, which is not easy.
It is easy for the working people at the bottom of society to empathize with others, and this understanding is justified.
He also knows how to behave like a human being. The boatmen, feeling his kindness, were naturally willing to return the favor and come into the store to spend money.
So his convenience store business is very good, but it's summer vacation recently, and the children are idle at home and are causing trouble, so he called them over to look after the store.
He would leave one thousandth of the daily turnover for his children as pocket money.
Yao Zhizhi could just see the convenience store on the third floor. She observed it carefully for a few days and found that the daily turnover of the convenience store was between three hundred and five hundred.
If it is one thousandth, that would be around 30 to 50 cents, which is a huge sum of money for a child.
What’s more, when watching the store, children can eat and drink things from the store, which is simply wonderful.
This gave Brother Long many opportunities to go fishing, otherwise, he would not be willing to leave his store.
Unfortunately, he came up empty-handed again today.
It was a pity that he came to the riverside with great enthusiasm every day, but always went back empty-handed. Yao Zhizhi couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.
So she reminded him: "Then don't sleep tonight. After you finish making the nest, stay at the store and remember to turn off the lights."
Deng Xinglong seemed to understand something and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll definitely catch a few big ones tomorrow to open your eyes."
Yao Zhizhi waved her hand, drove at a snail's pace, and returned to the yard by the river.
Around eleven o'clock at night, Yao Zhizhi had already fallen asleep.
After Deng Xinglong finished building the nest, he waited in the convenience store. He deliberately did not close the wooden boards covering the window tightly, and one of the boards was tilted to leave a small gap.
Soon, he had an unexpected gain.
He looked at the two men and women hugging each other, and was so shocked that he forgot to hide himself. He subconsciously leaned forward, pressing the tilted wooden board, causing it to fall out of the window with a clang.
The man and woman who were being intimate behind the pile of cargo at the riverside dock were startled by the noise and all looked over.
Deng Xinglong instantly saw the facial features of the wild mandarin ducks and stood up subconsciously.
Isn't this that guy? How could someone like him find a mistress to have an affair with?
