Chapter 17
After Chen Qingyi and the others returned home in the second season, they each gulped down half a bucket of cold water.
It’s too hot and I’m so thirsty.
After their throats stopped smoking, they were all full of fighting spirit.
Zhao Xiangmei asked Chen Changhai, who was sitting steadily on the edge of the kang with no intention of getting up, directly:
"Fourth Brother, you're back? Your sister-in-law isn't with you?"
"She is working today, second sister-in-law, why did she get off work so early today?" Chen Changhai looked at the clock. It was only ten o'clock.
They are all back!
My heart skipped a beat, and I had a bad feeling.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law, why are you both back?" He looked up at the sky again, wondering if it was going to rain.
With such a big deal happening, Wu Xifeng no longer wanted to eat dumplings, and snorted coldly: "What are you doing back?
What do you think?
Our sweat dropped to the ground and shattered into pieces. We were sunburned and our skin was peeling. We were so tired that we kept groaning even when we lay on the kang at night.
I only earn this little money from the eighth month of the year, and it's worth your while.
We work so hard to earn love for you!
"Old Four, you are really bullying me!"
My eyes became red just by talking about it, thinking about the life my own daughter lives, and then thinking about the life of the fourth brother's children.
Tears were falling down.
Chen Changhai looked unhappy, "Third sister-in-law, I didn't say anything, look at you, what are you doing?"
"Do you dare to say that you didn't come back to borrow money?"
Old Lady Chen and Chen Changhai looked at her at the same time, and then at Chen Qingyi!
Snitch!
How did this girl hear that?
Why didn’t they suspect Chen Shengnan? Because she was in the yard the whole time and both of them were watching!
Chen Changhai rubbed his hands on his pants and said, "Now that you know, I won't hide it anymore.
Yes, I came back to borrow money, but I’m not going to pay it back.
Besides, just you and Third Brother, how much money can you earn from the work points you two earn?"
The implication is that he didn't spend any!
The borrowed money has nothing to do with them.
This was such a heartless thing to say. Chen Changhe was furious and clenched his fists, "Fourth Brother!"
"Alright!" Old Lady Chen said with a sullen face, "Shut up, what's the matter? Your father and I are not dead yet!
Can’t the fourth child come back to this family?
It's not your turn to make the decision in this family. I agree to lend you the money."
As he spoke, he glared at his third daughter-in-law fiercely, "You troublemaker!"
He secretly glanced at the second brother's house again.
The old lady looked expressionless and a little weak, so she tried her best to straighten her back to show her majesty as a mother-in-law.
Chen Changhai was so cocky that even though he didn't grin or shake his feet, his eyes were even more infuriating.
Chen Changhe was so angry that he clenched his fists and was about to attack.
Zhao Xiangmei coughed lightly. She couldn't just let the third brother's family lead the charge.
"Old Four, since we're out of eggs and not much food at home, you're thinking of other ideas, right?
You want to borrow money, how much?
I remember you haven’t paid back the money you borrowed to buy a bicycle!
It's been so many years, you won't forget it, right?"
Chen Changhai felt a little embarrassed and he didn't want to return the fifty yuan.
"Second sister-in-law, I...I..." I hesitated for a long time but couldn't find a good reason.
Seeing how hard he was trying to speak, Zhao Xiangmei sneered, "Fourth Brother, there's a saying that goes, 'Brothers should settle accounts clearly.
You've been educated, so you must understand, right?
There is also a saying that goes, "If you borrow, you must return it, and it will not be difficult to borrow again!"
"Tell me, how much do you want to borrow to buy a house?" I just brought it out. I didn't want to waste time talking to him. It was too tiring.
"I don't agree!"
Before Chen Changhai could even open his mouth, Shi Lanhua slammed the door open and yelled, "I can't lend you this money."
Chen Changhai was choking with a breath, knowing that this thing would definitely not be accomplished today.
But when he thought of that magnificent big house, he immediately became cheerful again.
He opened his mouth and wanted to make a big promise, "Sister-in-law..."
Interrupted by the angry Shi Lanhua:
"Fourth Brother, please shut up! We don't want to hear it. Every time you come home, there's nothing good. You always want this or that.
Is it easy for us to dig for food in the soil year after year?
Even if you live well, we can't count on you. You are not as good as his aunt, who still remembers to bring some things back when she comes back.
You always say nice things, but you're actually stingy and a miser. I've seen through you."
Shi Lanhua spoke a long paragraph in one breath.
Her little daughter was right, it was more important to keep the money in one's own hands.
We’ll talk about the rest later.
And he really doesn't benefit from the fourth brother's family. In that case, he is not afraid of offending them.
"We know you want to borrow money, especially to buy a house, and this amount of money is not just one or two dollars!
Let me be frank, your brother and I both disagree!
If you dare to borrow, we will split the family!"
Shi Lanhua was very proud and didn't want to share, but she knew that her mother-in-law didn't want to share even more, so she just wanted to take a handful.
Unfortunately... the calculation was wrong!
I didn't expect someone to be so mean.
"I agree with my sister-in-law. Let's divide the family property today. Whoever doesn't is a dog!"
Zhao Xiangmei took the opportunity to express her opinion and was very happy. She thought her sister-in-law was really supportive.
She loves it so much.
Without giving others a chance to regret, he ordered, "Xiao Feng, run and find your grandfather's family.
The branch secretary was also present.”
The branch secretary injured his leg these days and hasn't been working in the fields, which is just right.
Grandpa and grandma Zhao didn't go to work today either. The pigs at home were sick, so they asked the veterinarian from the neighboring brigade to take a look.
"Xiao Bai, go to the meadow in the west and call your grandfather back."
This family was divided today.
"Okay!" The two brothers ran out.
Chen Qingyi quietly followed him out of the house, said a few words to Chen Qingbai, handed over the money for the eggs, and then went back into the house.
When Grandpa Zhao and the branch secretary arrived, they saw the old lady of the Chen family covering her chest with her hands, her face full of tears.
His body was shaking, it was really eye-irritating and he even twitched the corners of his mouth.
Living in the same brigade, everyone knows each other!
Chen Changjiang's family was conflicted. They felt it was good to be the head of the family, but they were reluctant to let go.
Chen Changhai had a gloomy face, as if someone owed him eight million.
Although the others had uncontrollable anger on their faces, there was genuine happiness in their eyes.
"Secretary, Dad, Mom!"
Zhao Xiangmei greeted them and asked them to sit down on the kang.
Chen Qingyi was more considerate and made a large bowl of brown sugar water for each person.
Grandpa Zhao nodded with satisfaction, patted her little head, and gave the branch secretary an expression that said, "My granddaughter is smart."
Secretary: ...Why are you so proud? It’s not like I have your last name.
"Secretary, I don't agree to divide the family." Seeing that there were no audiences, Old Lady Chen paused her performance.
The branch secretary puffed on his pipe, his eyelids drooping, "Sister, the child has grown up, it's time to let go.
Your Qinggui is about to get married!
What good is there in mixing everyone together?
After the family is divided, whichever child has the energy can use it on his own, and then there will be hope for the future.
Even if you split up, your children will still be filial to you." The Party Secretary gave a few words of advice. Most of the people in the team had split up.
Old Mrs. Chen refused to listen. She thought that if the family property was divided, the forty yuan would be gone. What about the remaining money?
"Moo..."
The secretary wanted to persuade her again, but Old Man Chen came back with a cow. Old Mrs. Chen immediately rushed over and was about to cry.
"I agree!"
Old Mrs. Chen, whose spellcasting was interrupted, said: "...Old, old man?"
Chen Changhai: “Dad…!!!” Is he getting senile?
Chen Qingyi's lips curled slightly.
