Chapter 353 Just Wait
Wei Zhenghao may have always thought: If Zhang Yao also gave birth to a boy, his mother would definitely treat him equally.
But in fact, the old lady's favoritism is not just because Wenwen is a girl.
All signs indicate that the old lady has always favored her eldest son.
Here, Wei Zhenghao arrived at his eldest brother's house, and the whole family was eating!
There are two vegetarian dishes and a plate of pork head in the middle, which is fat and lean, and looks very mouth-watering.
When they saw Wei Zhenghao coming, they were all stunned.
Zhu Qiulian asked: "Why didn't I invite you to dinner?"
Seeing this, the eldest daughter-in-law pretended to be calm and told her two sons: "Eat quickly, and go to the west room to take a nap after eating!"
The two half-grown boys were old enough to eat, so they took the chopsticks and steamed buns and started to eat with relish. They didn't touch the vegetarian dishes at all and only ate the meat.
Wei Zhenghao looked at the meat on the table, most of which had been eaten up by his two nephews in a blink of an eye. He swallowed his saliva with envy.
Ever since Zhang Yao left, he has been eating at his eldest brother's house.
However, his mother and sister-in-law are frugal and usually only cook two vegetarian dishes and are reluctant to add meat.
Occasionally, I would be generous and put two pieces of meat in the dish, and let my nephew pick and choose.
He knew that his eldest brother's family lived a hard life and it was not easy for them to get meat, so he did not compete for food with his two nephews.
The little money he had saved up was all given to his mother to build the greenhouse. He had no more coins left, and even if he wanted to improve his food, he really couldn't afford it.
All in all, he hasn't had any meat for almost two months.
Now, whenever I see meat, I can't stop drooling.
Seeing this, Zhu Qiulian hurriedly said, "You two little brats, your uncle finally sent some meat over, but you two ate it all. Stop eating, leave some for your uncle!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Wei Zhenghao and said, "Your sister-in-law's brother came over and brought some meat."
The eldest daughter-in-law was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then nodded and agreed: "Yes, my brother came to deliver some meat, and he just left not long ago."
Upon hearing that the meat was sent by his sister-in-law's brother, Wei Zhenghao didn't know what to say, and said awkwardly: "It was sent by the child's uncle as a token of his love. You don't have to keep it for me!"
Hearing this, the eldest daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Qiulian asked again: "What did Zhang Yao say?"
Wei Zhenghao forced himself to move his eyes away from the plate of meat and started talking to Zhu Qiulian.
"She said she'd come over this afternoon."
Zhu Qiulian looked proud when she heard this: "I told you that women should not be spoiled. Leave her alone for a while, and she will beg you for help one day."
Seeing Zhu Qiulian's smug look, Wei Zhenghao talked about money again: "Mom, give me three hundred yuan first. I'll use it for a while."
As soon as the word money was mentioned, the smile on Zhu Qiulian's face froze.
"Why do you suddenly need so much money? All our money has been invested in the greenhouse, where is the money left? Let alone three hundred, I'm afraid we can't even take out thirty now."
After a pause, Zhu Qiulian seemed to have realized what was happening and quickly asked, "Is it Zhang Yao who asked you for money? My silly son, please don't be stupid. We can't give her money even if we have it, not to mention that we have no money at home now."
Hearing this, Wei Zhenghao sighed in disappointment: "Your family doesn't even have 300 yuan, right? I heard you and your eldest brother say that you saved a few hundred yuan to buy fertilizer."
When Zhu Qiulian heard this, she was shocked and wondered when he heard this?
"I also said it was a loan. You can lend it to me first, and I will return it to you after a while!" Wei Zhenghao said in a low voice.
"Silly son, I'm doing this for your own good! Zhang Yao hasn't even come back yet, and she's already eager to ask you for money. She definitely has no good intentions. Who knows what she'll do with the money? What if it all goes down the drain? Besides, you also said that the money is for buying fertilizers, and it can't be touched!"
Wei Zhenghao thought: Wenwen is his daughter after all, and it is a good thing that his elder brother agreed to let her go to the city to study. Going to the city is definitely better than staying in the village. If his daughter has good grades in the future, she may have a bright future!
Times have changed. Whose daughters don’t go to school now? Even the lame man next door, whose family is so poor that they can barely afford to eat, still knows to send their daughter to school.
But if he told his mother that the money was for Wenwen's schooling, his mother would definitely not agree without even a second thought.
His mother would definitely say: "You are a girl, why do you want to go to the city like others? Stay at home and marry a good man when you grow up, which is better than anything else!"
Therefore, he had to make the matter sound more serious so that his mother would be willing to take out the money. Anyway, the money was borrowed, and when the greenhouse at home was exchanged for money, he would just take less when dividing the money.
Thinking of this, Wei Zhenghao said with a sad face: "Mom, actually I borrowed this money for Wenwen's medical treatment. Which is more important, fertilizer or your granddaughter's life? Lend it to me first, and I will pay you back when I have money."
"Are you sick? What's wrong?" Zhu Qiulian looked at Wei Zhenghao suspiciously.
Two months ago, the girl seemed fine, how come she suddenly fell ill?
"Pneumonia caused by a cold." Wei Zhenghao said quickly.
After much thought, this disease is the most suitable.
If he said it too harshly, it would feel like he was cursing his daughter, and he would feel uncomfortable.
To put it mildly, his mother probably won't believe it and won't give him the money.
Zhu Qiulian was still somewhat skeptical, but seeing her youngest son's determined expression and remembering that her youngest son would never lie to her, Zhu Qiulian believed him.
However, despite believing it, Zhu Qiulian had no intention of taking the money.
"The child is sick, is it your turn to worry? She has grandparents and uncles, who don't have money?" Zhu Qiulian said, "We need the money to buy fertilizer, so we can't touch it easily."
"My daughter has my last name Wei. She's sick, so I can't just not take a penny, right? If you don't have three hundred, a hundred or two hundred will be fine!"
Wei Zhenghao thought that he could take as much as he could, which was also a way to show his attitude. Seeing that the child was so unfamiliar with him today, he didn't feel strange.
This will prevent Zhang Yao from bringing up this matter in the future and creating a rift between him and the child.
Zhu Qiulian said firmly, "Don't even mention one hundred or two hundred. We don't have a penny. The child is not yours alone. She is more anxious than you if the child is sick. You just have to wait. She will definitely not be able to wait any longer. Then the Zhang family will pay the money."
Wei Zhenghao was surprised when he heard this: "Mom, isn't it Wenwen who suffers from all this waste? We just bought fertilizer a few days ago, and you are not in a hurry to use the money, so why can't you give it to me?"
"You are so stupid! How can you help an outsider to ask your mother for money? Just listen to me and wait. With Zhang Yao's temper, can she watch Wenwen suffer? She will definitely pay the money!"
