Chapter 627: The Son Wants to Support His Parents, but They Are No Longer There
Jin Zhengtai really treated Gu Jingjingchuan and the others as his closest relatives, so since they were talking about this topic, he didn't hide it from them. He said in a serious tone, "I was raised by my grandmother. My mother died when I was six years old. Later, my father remarried and had younger brothers and sisters. My stepmother didn't want my father to take care of me, so I grew up with my grandmother and didn't have much contact with my father and the others."
"I had to do farm work since I was young, and my academic performance was not up to par. My grandmother supported me and I barely went to junior high school. After I stopped studying, my father and my stepmother wanted to send me to work in a coal mine, but my grandmother refused because she was afraid of the danger.
She ran around to sign me up and get me to join the army.
On the night before I left, the old lady held my hand and told me not to come back after I left. She hoped that I could take root in the army and have a stable place for the rest of my life.
Jin Zhengtai's eyes gradually turned red as he spoke, "But I am not a good person. I have never been able to keep up with others physically since I was a child. I always lag behind others in military training. Fortunately, the boss was tolerant and caring, so my life in the army was not so difficult."
"After I got rehabilitated, I wanted to earn more money to bring my grandmother out of the countryside, but she fell ill on the first day of my rehabilitated life. At that time, I was cheated in business, so I went back to my hometown to accompany her in her last moments. At the last moment when she closed her eyes, she still couldn't let me go..."
Tang Min never expected that Jin Zhengtai, the happiest and most cheerful of them all, would have such an unfortunate experience.
After listening to Jin Zhengtai's story, they all fell silent.
I don't know how to comfort him.
Jin Zhengtai didn't even tell Gu Jingchuan about these.
Gu Jingchuan was also very surprised at this time.
He really didn't know that Jin Zhengtai's grandmother had passed away.
Tang Min patted his shoulder and said, "Jin Zi, I think you are already very successful. You are talented in business and work so hard. You will definitely achieve great success in the future."
Jin Zhengtai wiped his face sadly, saying bitterly, "What's the point of achieving success in this business?
A son wants to take care of his parents but they are no longer around. Even if my grandma had waited for me for two more days, I would have let her live a good life..."
"Don't be sad."
Gu Jingchuan, who was not good at sentimentalizing, patted him and said, "From now on, we will all be your family."
"Your boss is right, you still have us."
Jin Zhengtai looked at them with emotion, and forced a smile on his face, "Thank you."
He said, "Don't worry, I'm very happy. I promised my grandma that I would live a happy life."
Tang Min smiled in a relaxed tone, "Why thank me? You can call me sister-in-law. An elder sister-in-law is like a maid. This is what Jing Qi said. When you have a girl you like and she proposes marriage to you, your boss and I will arrange it for you. You just need to focus on making money now."
"Will there be any girl willing to marry me in my situation?"
Jin Zhengtai's face was full of lack of confidence.
The hurt and shadow from his family made him feel very inferior in his heart.
The smile on his face concealed his extreme insecurity.
Tang Min rolled her eyes at him, "What's your situation?
You look like a decent person, but don’t you see that all the customers coming to your store are young girls who are here for you?”
"Those modern girls with heavy makeup are not suitable for me. I will find someone I can live with in the future."
As Jin Zhengtai said this, his eyes unconsciously glanced in a certain direction.
"Okay, when you get married, just tell me and Jingchuan and we'll help you propose marriage."
Gu Jingchuan frowned and said, "Did you hear what your sister-in-law said?"
Jin Zhengtai hurriedly said, "I heard it, thank you sister-in-law."
…
The next day, Jin Zhengtai left work early, packed his luggage, and then loaded all his belongings on his motorcycle and brought them here.
All his belongings consisted of a set of bedding, a nylon bag of clothes, and some daily necessities. Nothing else.
When he rented a house, he just moved in with his luggage.
Of course he couldn't bring the furniture with him. She heard Tang Min say yesterday that all the basic necessities were available in the yard here, and he just needed to move them over.
When he cleaned up every day, he kept some things that were of no use, or gave them to the old man next door.
Tang Min hadn't come yet, but Gu Jingxiu had gotten off work. Jin Zhengtai had put his things in the yard. Gu Jingxiu wanted to help him clean them up, but he didn't want to.
When Tang Min left in the morning, she left the key to the yard at home, and said that if she came late and Jin Zhengtai came over, he would open the door and clean the house himself that day.
Gu Jingxiu handed the key to Jin Zhengtai, "This is the key left by my second sister-in-law."
Jin Zhengtai took the key and said, "Jingxiu, please accompany me. I have never been there before, so I don't know which house it is."
"I still have to go buy groceries."
Gu Jingxiu didn't know what was going on. Now, whenever she was alone with Jin Zhengtai, she would get so nervous that she would stutter.
Jin Zhengtai said, "Isn't the vegetable market at the front of the alley?
After we finish looking at the house, I will go grocery shopping with you."
"Oh, then."
Jin Zhengtai threw the quilt tied with a bed sheet over his shoulders and walked in front. Gu Jingxiu asked, "Do you need me to get these things?"
"No, leave it there first. Go clean the house first. When you're done, come back and get the other luggage. Otherwise, it will get dirty."
The other things were his clothes and daily necessities. Jin Zheng was afraid that there would be no place to put them after he took them away. When he cleaned the room, dust flew everywhere and got his clothes dirty.
Gu Jingxiu led the way. The two walked about 20 to 30 meters in the alley and arrived at the empty courtyard, which was right next to Fengshen Doctor's house.
It's quite close.
Jin Zhengtai carried the bedding on his shoulders, and Gu Jingxiu took the key and went forward to open the door.
This courtyard is not as big as the one where Tang Min and his family live, but it is also a very unique and compact courtyard.
Jin Zhengtai stood in the yard and looked around. "Not bad, much more spacious than the yard I lived in before. It's very quiet here."
The yard is nice, but it has been uninhabited for a long time and looks a bit desolate.
I opened the door of the main house and saw some simple furniture in the room, but it was covered with a thick layer of dust.
Since Tang Min bought this yard, she only came in on the day when she viewed the house. Later, when no one lived there, she rarely came to clean.
Originally this house was bought to wait for demolition and there is no need to live in it.
Jin Zhengtai wiped the table, and there was a thick layer of dust on his fingers. He waved his hands and said, "Oh my God, how long has it been since anyone lived here? There are spider webs on the walls. Jingxiu, don't come in yet. I'll sweep the dust in this room first."
Gu Jingxiu couldn't wait any longer, "Let me sweep it."
"No, wait until I finish sweeping the dust before you come in."
Jin Zhengtai found a feather duster that had not been used for a long time from the windowsill in the yard. He dusted it and was about to sweep the dust in the house.
"Okay, I'll go to the store in front and buy two towels and a washbasin. I'll wipe the table later, so you can sweep first."
"Tuo, do you have any money in your pocket?"
Jin Zhengtai asked.
