Chapter 315 Knowing the situation
Zheng Qing was extremely anxious and said to Yang Erfeng, "Erfeng, can I take you to the hotel to have some rest?" She was really embarrassed to quarrel with her younger siblings in front of the Lin family. If they were at home, she could say anything unpleasant, but in this situation, quarreling with them was not a good idea.
Yang Erfeng thought about it and thought, maybe there are good things in the hotel? So she said, "That's fine, then let's go to the hotel with my sister first and come back later. You guys can sit down and don't have to see me off."
Wen Jizu said to Zheng Qing, "Qingzi, don't get angry with yourself if something happens."
Zheng Qing said, "I know. Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Seeing Zheng Qing taking the couple away, Wen Guowang and Wen Jizu both breathed a sigh of relief.
After they had been gone for a while, Wen Guowang sighed and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. My step-brother-in-law has been a little slow-witted since he was young, so his family spent money to arrange this marriage for him early on. Even a good girl wouldn't be able to marry him. This daughter-in-law is a little abnormal. Anyway, that's the way it is. Don't be surprised."
Lin Jianguo scratched his head: "We are fine. We are all family. Every family has its troubles."
Lin Xiaoxia asked Wen Guowang, "Grandpa Wen, do they usually ask for whatever they see when they go to your house?"
Wen Guowang said, "When Jizu first got married, they wanted everything they saw, but Jizu's wife knew what was going on and refused to give them anything. As time went on, they couldn't get anything, so they rarely came home."
Lin Xiaoxia had noticed before that Zheng Qing wasn't stupid or a brother-supporting demon, so there was no need to worry about that. She was probably just afraid of saying something unpleasant in front of them. The Wen family knew what was going on, so they didn't worry much. "That's not bad. My aunt has a bottom line, which is better than anything else."
Wen Jizu said, "When we first got married, I was too embarrassed to confront her, so I suffered a lot. Fortunately, your aunt is really smart and taught me how to deal with them. They came today, I'm sure they heard my brother-in-law say you were rich, so they came to take advantage of you."
Lin Jianguo said: "Or marry a virtuous wife, but Jizu, this sister-in-law, is really a headache."
Wen Jizu was also helpless: "There's nothing we can do. My brother-in-law has a disability. He's lucky to have found a wife and raised a child. His family is also poor, so we will help him out if we can, but we won't give him more than that."
Lin Xiaoxia listened to Wen Jizu's words and nodded: "Well, your family will get better and better in the future. Don't let others push you too far. Just have a sense of proportion in your heart."
Wen Guowang understood what Lin Xiaoxia meant. Even if the Lin family didn't recognize Wen Jizu, they would still help him live a good life. So he said, "Don't worry, we won't be confused."
Lin Xiaoxia was indeed not worried anymore, because the people in the Wen family were all very clear-headed.
Over there, Zheng Qing took Zheng Quan and Yang Erfeng out of the hospital. They didn't go to the hotel and said to them, "Go back quickly. Your brother-in-law is already in that state. Don't come and cause trouble."
Yang Erfeng looked at Zheng Qing angrily: "Sister, what's wrong with you? This is your own brother, don't you want to help us live a good life together? In the past, when I asked for things from your family, you didn't give them to me, after all, your family is not very rich. But now the rich are here, and if they can get a little bit of money, it will be enough for us to live a good life. Anyway, it's not your money, why are you stopping me? With so many good things, I can take them away and sell them. Then you can let them buy them. It won't cost your family any money, right?"
Zheng Qing's face flushed with anger: "Yang Erfeng, if I really let you do this, then how will my in-laws look at me? How will your brother-in-law look at me? And do you think we accept things from others for free? Isn't it a favor? Don't we have to pay it back later?"
"They're so rich. I heard they all drive cars. They give you thousands of dollars. How rich are they? Why do they ask you to repay them? Sister, why are you so afraid of your in-laws? You gave birth to their grandson, you should be tough."
"What others give is what they give, but who can live off others for the rest of their lives?"
"Sister, why are you so stupid? What they give you is also yours. While they are willing to give it, let's take advantage of it. We are not real relatives. If the warmth wears off one day and they stop giving, there will be nothing left."
"They've been very kind to us. I can't be so shameless. You guys should just go home and stop thinking about those crooked things."
"Sister, it's rare for a family like ours to meet a rich man, and you have the heart not to give me a chance? In this case, we don't need you. We can make connections here ourselves. If we succeed, it will be our own ability. If we fail, it's not your fault."
"What are you trying to climb? Isn't it because of our Wen family that we are able to climb? Forget it, it's impossible. Let's go."
"Sister, why are you so cruel? You're giving me face, but look at your brother. Don't you know what he's like? It was so hard for me to marry him. I have children at home. Don't you think about your nephew? I finally have a chance. If I can marry this rich man, how great it would be to work in the city in the future?"
Zheng Qing didn't react much when other people talked about her, but when she talked about her brother, she knew that this brother was indeed a little lacking.
But she also had a bottom line: "I can help in any way I can. Your family plants in spring and harvests in autumn, so when have we not helped? But this is not right. Your brother-in-law was in a life-or-death situation, and they came to his rescue. If I were to take advantage of them, my conscience would be eaten by dogs. I can't do that."
"No, sister, this matter is not as complicated as you think."
Lin Xiaoxia came out at this time. She had just gone to the bathroom and looked out the window. She happened to see them arguing. She was afraid that they would fight, so she came over to take a look and happened to hear what Yang Erfeng said.
She walked to Zheng Qing's side and said to Yang Erfeng, "Don't be too greedy. It's better to have a bottom line."
Yang Erfeng had been arguing with Zheng Qing and hadn't noticed Lin Xiaoxia coming over. She was a little embarrassed when she heard her voice, not knowing how much she had heard. "No, don't get me wrong. I just think it's not easy for us country folk to have relatives in the city. I hope you can lend a hand and help us get by."
Lin Xiaoxia looked at Yang Erfeng and said, "If you want to live a good life, there are many ways. The country now supports individuals. It's not difficult to do some small business at the market. Selling some underwear, socks, etc. has low costs and you can earn a lot. Or you can make some food and sell it at the school gate. You can make money by doing anything. Relying on others is not a long-term solution."
She told Yang Erfeng all this because she had just heard what Zheng Qing said. Zheng Qing was really a very insightful person, but she also knew that Yang Erfeng's family was indeed poor. After all, Zheng Qing's younger brother had some problems, so she was also pointing her way forward.
Yang Erfeng curled her lips and said, "I don't understand these things. Is it really that easy to do business? I have to get up early and work late to follow the market. What if I lose money again?"
