Chapter 496 I Don’t Want a Son
The disheveled Zhuang Ganmei ran home angrily, and when she entered the house, she saw several guests sitting in the house.
Seeing his expression, Zhuang's mother and matchmaker Aunt Wang couldn't help but ask in surprise:
"Catch up with the United States, what's going on?"
Zhuang Ganmei saw that there was another woman in the room besides Aunt Wang. She looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
The woman had her head down, but when she saw him like this, she couldn't help but stare at him.
Zhuang Ganmei avoided the woman's gaze and said angrily:
"Don't mention it. I was thinking of going to see my eldest brother when I got back. He was killing chickens in the yard. When he saw me coming to find him, he not only refused to let me in, but also poured a bucket of hot water for removing chicken feathers on me.
When I argued with him, he took advantage of the fact that some of the children living in the compound were his students and asked the parents of those students to beat me up..."
Zhuang's mother was shocked and looked up and down: "Where did he hit?"
Zhuang Ganmei shook her head. "If I hadn't run so fast, I would have been beaten. It's not easy to take a car in this state all the way, so I walked back. A-choo~!"
He sneezed violently.
"Aunt Zhuang, why don't you let Comrade Zhuang take a hot bath and change his clothes first! He might catch a cold." Pan Yuexiang interrupted.
As soon as she spoke, Zhuang Ganmei shifted his gaze to her again, and finally remembered that he had seen her in the alley when he came back from town that day.
"Yes, Yuexiang is really thoughtful. Hurry up and make her beautiful. It will be troublesome if she gets sick." Aunt Wang quickly replied.
But there is only hot water in two thermos at home, which is definitely not enough for taking a bath.
"I'll go boil some water!" Zhuang's mother said hurriedly.
"Aunt Zhuang, do you have a military coat at home? Let Comrade Zhuang take off his wet clothes and wrap himself in the military coat, then stay in the house and go boil water. Otherwise, it will definitely not work if we just do this." Pan Yuexiang said again.
"Yes, military coats are warm and easy to wash if they get dirty, but it's troublesome if the quilt gets dirty." Aunt Wang echoed.
"Oh, yes, yes! Yes, yes, I'll go find it."
"Then we'll leave first and come back another day for tea and chat." Aunt Wang winked at Pan Yuexiang, and the two of them quickly left the banker's house.
Zhuang's mother couldn't care less about the two of them at this moment. She quickly took out a military coat from the closet, asked Zhuang Ganmei to take off her wet clothes and wrap herself in the coat, and then went to boil water.
After everything was cleaned up, Zhuang's mother asked about the details.
When Zhuang's mother heard that he was going to ask the eldest brother for money, she couldn't help but say:
"Didn't I tell you not to mention money? Your eldest brother goes crazy whenever he mentions money. It's what his two wives taught him. Money is more important than life. There's no way he'll spend it on you! If you need money, Mom will give it to you."
Zhuang Ganmei helped Zhuang's mother sit down:
"Mom, I'm just feeling sorry for you! How much do you earn? My brother makes 100 yuan a month! I heard that if you do well in the college entrance examination, you get a bonus. I didn't expect him to be that kind of person. What's wrong with his family spending a few dollars?"
"Forget it, forget it. Don't go to them in the future, or you will get beaten up even if you don't get the money. The same goes for your sister. She can't withdraw money because only Pengfei can spend her money. That rough guy named Xiang is too fierce. Last New Year, I mentioned it to your sister and asked her to lend you some money for your business. He even smashed his bowl during the New Year." Zhuang's mother advised again.
Zhuang Ganmei secretly broke into a cold sweat, luckily Xiangdong was not there today.
After today's test, Zhuang Ganmei realized that the two sides had reached the point where they were irreconcilable.
He asked what had happened in the past few years, but Zhuang's mother kept talking about the same few things, and he couldn't get anything out of her, so in the end, the matter was left unresolved.
"Don't mention them anymore. I'll just pretend I never gave birth to them. From now on, it's just the two of us who will depend on each other..." Mother Zhuang started crying as she spoke.
Zhuang Ganmei said bitterly:
"Mom, we just depend on each other. After the New Year, I'll find a business and make a hundred dollars a day. Zhuang Chaoying is nothing. God will take care of him!"
"Good, good," Zhuang's mother was very happy, "Look at that little Pan. I think she is really a person who can make a living. She is now working in a private silk reeling factory and can make a living every month.
And I heard from your Aunt Wang that she is very thrifty. She will not throw away the few mouthfuls of noodles that she does not finish at night. She will add some water and cook them into a paste in the morning to eat for breakfast.
She has a son who graduated from junior high school more than a year ago. He was enrolled in school with the help of the Youth League Office. He originally studied in the mountains, and when he came here, he couldn't understand the local language, so he graduated in a muddle. Now he is an apprentice in a private sewing machine factory. He has no salary but is provided with food, so he has no burden.
I think it’s okay, what do you think?”
Of course Zhuang Ganmei didn't like it.
Pan Yuexiang's appearance and figure were somewhat different from Lin Fang's. When he heard that she had a son, he immediately lost all interest:
"I don't want a son! I helped Lin Fang raise two bastards from other people, and now I have to help someone else raise one too. I'm not that stupid!"
"There's no need to raise her! If we get along well, she'll still be able to honor you in the future." Zhuang's mother thought there was no problem.
"Mom, think about it, if his son and I ask for money at the same time, which is more important, she gives it to me or to her son?" Zhuang Ganmei is not as easy to fool as Zhuang Chaoying.
"Are you stupid? Can't you take all her money? The man must be in charge of the money in the family. If his son wants it in the future, just don't give it to him! Can she still get a divorce? Do she dare to do so? Not everyone is like Huang Ling who can get a divorce for no reason!" Zhuang's mother began to give advice.
Zhuang Ganmei waved her hand:
"Mom, don't think about it for now. When I have money, I can find any woman. There's no need to find someone like this now. I have a grown son, and I won't be able to get rid of him. It will be so troublesome."
"You! You only think about pretty girls. What's the use of a pretty girl like Lin Fang? She's still cheating on you! It's better to be honest. She can take care of you and me. What's wrong with that?" Zhuang's mother pushed her son.
Zhuang Ganmei didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he waved his hand and went back to his room to sleep.
He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He felt very angry and couldn't swallow this anger. He thought that one day he would seek revenge on Zhuang Chaoying.
Pan Yuexiang and Aunt Wang left the bank. Aunt Wang looked at Pan Yuexiang and asked carefully:
"Yuexiang, it's just the two of us now. Tell me what you think, and tell me the truth, so I can understand. Anyway, I've already told you about their family. Aunt Zhuang is in charge, and she likes you very much. After you get married, she can ask someone to help you and Xiaoxiang solve the household registration problem.
Think about it, they have three rooms! They are their own rooms! It will be very easy for Xiaoxiang to find a wife in a few years! Now it’s up to you. If you like her, it’s fine. If not, forget it. I will introduce someone else to the banker.
Pan Yuexiang pursed her lips and said nothing. She walked a few steps before saying:
"I didn't expect him to be so honest! He's quite pitiful. I didn't even realize how cruel his older brother is."
"Who said it wasn't? You're a teacher after all, I really can't tell." Aunt Wang clicked her tongue.
"Aunt, can you let me think about it? I still need to ask Xiaoxiang for his opinion. I don't know if anyone likes me, so you have to ask for me!" Pan Yuexiang did not give in.
When Aunt Wang heard her say that, she felt there was hope and was very happy.
The two walked out of the alley together.
There are tens of millions of alleys like this in Suzhou.
Everyone living in every alley has their own joys and sorrows.
The New Year is coming soon, and everyone, no matter how good or bad their life is, is looking forward to the arrival of the new year.
Those who have had a good life hope for a better year ahead.
Those who are not doing well, hope that the next year will be better.
The alley in Zhuangjia was full of joy because Zhuang's mother finally waited for her son to be released from prison.
The alley around Zhuang Chaoying's home is joyful. His relationship with his wife and son has eased, and he has temporarily gotten rid of his vampire mother and brother. He feels that the next year will definitely be better than this year.
The alley near Song Ying's home is also full of joy. The only suffering couple from the Wu family did not spend the New Year at home. They went to Guangdong to look for their missing daughter.
