Qian Lei thought it was Li Qiumei who had returned, so he walked over and opened the door, but to his surprise, it was Qian Jinsheng and his wife standing outside.
"Uncle and aunt."
Wu Meiping handed the fruit in her hand to Qian Lei, "Leilei, have you eaten yet?"
"I ate it, how about you guys?"
"We've eaten too."
"Big brother."
"Big brother."
The couple shouted at Qian Jinshu who was lying on the bed, and Qian Jinshu let out an "Ah".
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Qian Jinsheng glanced at Qian Jinshu. This eldest brother who had been spoiled by his parents since childhood had finally fallen from the altar.
Before, when he was with Qian Jinshu, because he grew up too fast, people would mistakenly think that he was the older brother and Qian Jinshu was the younger brother.
Because Qian Jinshu was smart and good at talking since he was a child, he became the target of his parents' suppression and had to give in to his brother in everything.
Let me put it this way, from childhood to adulthood, Qian Jinsheng wore clothes and pants that Qian Jinshu didn't want anymore, and used school bags and pencil cases that Qian Jinshu didn't want anymore.
When his parents go out to visit relatives during the holidays, they will only bring Qian Jinshu and Qian Jiaojiao. He and Qian Lili are dispensable and invisible people in this family.
I didn't expect that in just a few years, my brother has become so old and paralyzed in bed.
Now no one should say that Qian Jinsheng looks older than Qian Jinshu, and no one should say that they are not as good as him.
Thinking of this, Qian Jinsheng inexplicably felt much better.
While Qian Jinsheng was looking at Qian Jinshu, Qian Jinshu was also looking at him.
This was the first time the two brothers met after Qian Xiaolai's death.
When Qian Xiaolai died, Qian Jinsheng and his wife returned home.
Qian Jinshu still clearly remembers that before Qian Xiaolai's coffin was even laid out for the funeral, Qian Jinsheng yelled at Qian Jinshu in front of all the relatives to take out the money left by his parents and divide it up.
Qian Jinshu took out the passbook and handed it to him, "Take a look for yourself and see if there is any money in it."
Qian Jinsheng shouted, "It's not this one, there's another one from the cooperative, and that one has money on it.
Don't try to fool me, I've seen that passbook before."
Qian Jinshu was getting impatient. "I haven't seen the passbook you mentioned. Why don't you go and take a look at it?"
Qian Jinshu didn't expect that just because he said it casually, Qian Jinsheng actually ran to his parents' room and rummaged through the drawers, making all relatives and friends laugh at their Qian family.
Not finding the passbook he mentioned, Qian Jinsheng actually smashed his parents' room.
He smashed and cursed, "I'll let you be partial, I'll let you be partial!
Now it’s your retribution, your whole family is ruined.”
The angry uncle raised his hand and slapped him twice. He cried and cursed his uncle and Qian Jinshu for being in cahoots.
"You just know how to bully me. My parents do this to me, and you do this to me too. Why do you treat me like this?"
All the relatives were busy trying to stop the quarrel, but Qian Jinsheng was like a madman, insisting that Qian Jinshu and his uncle had hidden the money.
Qian Jinshu was so angry that he fought with him, but he was no match for Qian Jinsheng.
After being pushed to the ground by him, if Qian Lei had not pulled Qian Jinsheng back, he would have suffered a great loss.
From then on, the brothers became enemies and had no further contact.
Wu Meiping asked about Qian Jinshu's recovery with concern, and Qian Lei told them one by one.
Seeing that no one spoke, Wu Meiping looked at Qian Jinsheng.
Qian Jinsheng thought for a moment and then spoke, "Brother, are you going home to celebrate the New Year this year?"
Qian Jinshu nodded vigorously.
Qian Jinsheng said cautiously: "Brother, we are going back to Meiping's home to spend the New Year with her parents this year.
We thought Huihui would not want to go back to his hometown since he is studying here, so we thought about buying a house in North City. After all, renting a house is not a long-term solution. "
Qian Jinshu looked at his younger brother coldly. If he had not had a stroke, he would never have known that his good younger brother had such a cold and hard heart.
Because of that fight, I have been ill for more than half a year. We both live in North City, not far away, but the couple has never come to see me.
He came to see me for the first time and told me that he wanted to buy a house. Could he be looking to borrow money from me?
He had miscalculated. Even his medical expenses were paid by Li Qiumei, so how could he have the money to lend him?
By the way, maybe he came to show off in front of me.
Qian Jinshu felt that he had been exposed, but the next second Qian Jinsheng spoke again, "Brother, I want to buy a house in the city, and the money I have is not enough.
So, I want to sell the old house to raise money."
Qian Jinshu's brows jumped. Qian Jinsheng's old house was connected to his own. How could he sell it? And to whom?
He pointed at Qian Lei, then at the paper and pen on the table.
Qian Lei walked over, picked up the paper and pen and handed them to Qian Jinshu.
Qian Jinshu wrote the three words "How to sell" crookedly with his not-so-flexible right hand.
Qian Jinsheng breathed a sigh of relief. "Brother, this house will definitely be yours first. If you don't want it, I will sell it to someone else."
Qian Jinshu mumbled a few words, then laboriously wrote on the paper, "How much?"
Wu Meiping spoke up, "Brother, if this house is sold to an outsider, it will have to be sold for at least 10,000 yuan.
We are brothers, and now you are sick again, so just take the 8,000 yuan."
Qian Jinshu was so angry that he kept humming. This shabby house was worth ten thousand yuan, and this couple really dared to ask for it.
Humph, he wants to see who will buy it if he doesn’t want it.
Thinking of this, Qian Jinshu shook his left hand, "No...don't..."
Qian Jinsheng was stunned, thinking that his elder brother would definitely buy it.
After all, when I came to the city to work a few years ago, my eldest brother told me that if I didn't go back, he would sell the house to me and he would renovate it.
Could it be that my eldest brother spent all the money on his medical treatment, or was he still holding a grudge against me for that fight?
But I have already informed him, so I have done my best.
Wu Meiping confirmed with Qian Jinshu again, and Qian Jinshu really didn't want to buy it.
"Okay, big brother, we'll sell it to outsiders."
Qian Jinsheng and his wife left without staying for long.
Qian Jinshu angrily threw the pen in his hand to the ground, cursing Qian Jinsheng incoherently.
Qian Lei bent down to pick up the pen and put it on the table, "Dad, have they found a buyer yet?
If this is really sold, how will I live in the future?"
Neither the father nor the son spoke again.
Qian Lei took the bedding to the yard outside the door to dry it. The landlady smiled and said, "Qian Lei, are you washing the bedding for your dad again?
I've told you so many times, just wash your bedding in our washing machine, it's too cold in this winter."
Qian Lei smiled and said, "Auntie, it's okay. I'll clean it quickly."
He hung the bedding out to dry and went back into the house.
Qian Lei didn't notice that there were two women standing behind the landlady, staring at him intently.
