With a loud bang.
The lock on the box fell to the ground.
Zhang Chunxia watched Hu Qinghai open the cabinet, her face full of worry.
Hu Qinghai rummaged around for a while and found a lunch box. When he opened it, he saw several deposit certificates and some tickets inside.
When he saw the number on the deposit slip, his face turned dark.
Seeing things develop to this point, Zhang Chunxia quickly said, "Isn't this all for the good of this family?"
"I'm eating coarse food with you just to save some money! Who will support us in the future? We can live a good life when we have money. What am I doing all this for?"
She cried as she spoke, as if she was the one who was most wronged.
Hu Qinghai took a deep breath, looked at her and said, "The year I was hospitalized, you said our family had no money and kept complaining about being poor. It would have been fine if we didn't spend the money, but you kept nagging me about it all day long."
"I thought our family was so poor that we couldn't even afford to eat, and I felt guilty about you, and this is how you treat me?"
"Xiao Man is suffering so much, and you still ask her for money to buy a house. You have so much money in your hand, why don't you buy it yourself!"
The grievances he had suffered in the past few years, and the suffering Hu Xiaoman had gone through in the past few years, suddenly made him feel so angry that he couldn't suppress it.
When Zhang Chunxia heard about their suffering, she stopped crying.
"You're suffering? Am I not suffering?" She turned to look at Hu Xiaoman and said, "I just asked you for some money to buy a house. And you came here to pick a fight with me and your dad."
"What? Aren't you part of this family? You bought the house but you don't live in it!"
"Are you feeling better now? Are you happy?"
Hearing these words, Hu Xiaoman found it a little ridiculous.
He clearly has two sons, and he paid 200 yuan for the house which cost 280 yuan. How can this make sense?
Hu Xiaoman took a deep breath and said calmly, "Why don't you ask my second sister for it? I've just reached adulthood and now I'm in debt of two hundred yuan. Have you ever thought about me?"
She didn't come here to quarrel today. The problems between her and the Hu family will be resolved sooner or later.
It’s much better to solve it now than to drag it out.
Hu Qinghai, who was standing by, pulled Zhang Chunxia over and said, "This is between us. What did you say to the child?"
After saying that, he turned to look at Hu Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, go back first. Don't bother with them looking for you in the future!"
Hu Xiaoman saw that his face didn't look very good, so he went back without saying anything.
In the past, Zhang Chunxia knew that Hu Qinghai felt guilty, so she always kept him in check.
Now everyone knows about it, and it is definitely impossible to be the same as before.
After seeing the man leave, Zhang Chunxia turned to look at Hu Qinghai, her eyes full of hatred.
"I've lived with you for all these years. Why am I saving money? Because I'm afraid no one will take care of me when I'm old!"
She cried and said, "People are useless when they get old. How could I not know this? I save money and keep it in the Hu family. Who can I give it to?"
The more she talked about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and Zhang Chunxia cried like a tearful person.
This afternoon, everyone else in the yard went to work or school and was not home for lunch, so no one cared about the two of them crying.
Hu Qinghai naturally knew that she couldn't give the money she saved to others, but he still felt uncomfortable.
In the past two years, Zhang Chunxia has been saying every day that it is not easy, this is not easy, that is not easy.
Who has it easy? It’s not easy for anyone!
He asked directly: "You don't have to say so much. The family has saved so much money, and you still let Xiaoman go to the factory to borrow money to buy a house. Why are you forcing the child like this?"
He later learned that Zhang Chunxia had gone to see Hu Xiaoman.
The neighbors nearby also knew about it, after all, there were many people living near the sugar factory.
This was not the first time that Zhang Chunxia visited Hu Xiaoman. Once, she was overheard by a colleague, and the news spread.
Neighbors accused him of drinking children's blood, leaving him feeling humiliated.
He even thought that if he hadn't spent so much money on medical treatment, he might have been able to save some money and not have to force his children.
It now seems that Zhang Chunxia has more than enough money to buy ten courtyards.
Zhang Chunxia felt uncomfortable when she heard his accusations. "What's wrong with me asking her for money? I'll be married to someone else sooner or later. What's wrong with me contributing to the family?"
"I've been feeding her and sending her to school for so many years. Am I starving to death because of her?"
She was right and didn't feel she had done anything wrong.
Besides, how many other families can afford to send their children to school? It’s not easy for a girl to graduate from junior high school.
Hu Qinghai sneered, "The children's schooling is all subsidized by my father when he was still alive. Are you supporting yourselves?"
Zhang Chunxia's neck stiffened. "I didn't pay for her schooling, but I don't lack food for her, so what?"
She thought she had done a good job. Which girl doesn't hand over her salary?
Doesn’t the family have to ask for some money as a wedding gift?
Sooner or later you will be someone else's daughter-in-law, what can you do!
Hu Qinghai thought she was unreasonable. Is it a favor to give birth to a child and raise it? Is it right not to raise it?
Then what is the purpose of having children? Is it to help them pay off their debts?
"You are simply unreasonable! Give Xiaoman two hundred yuan tomorrow, or I will never let you go!" He said gritting his teeth.
Being called heartless and ungrateful by neighbors is more painful than killing him.
Since his family is rich, he doesn't need his daughter's help!
"Impossible!" Zhang Chunxia immediately shouted, "She deserves it. Why should we give it back to her?"
"Shut up!" Hu Qinghai slapped him and was stunned after doing so.
The couple has never fought since their children got married.
Today is the first time in so many years.
Obviously, Zhang Chunxia didn't find someone who would beat her.
She burst into tears immediately, "Hu Qinghai, you are not a human being. I have been with you for decades, and I am half buried in the ground, and you hit me!"
…
Hu Xiaoman stood beside the yard, listening to the noise in the house, and the neighbors around were also watching the fun.
"Xiaoman is back. What are your parents arguing about?" A curious old lady came over to inquire about the news, with a gossipy gleam in her eyes.
Hu Xiaoman didn't say anything, just packed his bag and left.
In any case, from today on, Hu Qinghai should be single and make his own decisions.
At least he won't accommodate Zhang Chunxia like before.
Perhaps after two years of backlog, the outbreak will be even more severe.
Sometimes when two people live together, they cannot always focus on each other's mistakes.
What's more, Hu Qinghai was not hospitalized in his hospital, and the factory also paid for his medical expenses. At most, he had to spend some money to recuperate.
But it’s not necessary to let Zhang Chunxia bully her like this, it’s too much.
However, Hu Xiaoman achieved his goal today, and he will consider it if Zhang Chunxia wants to cause trouble in the future.
She returned home with her bag, feeling physically and mentally exhausted.
She didn't know what the future would be like, but now she was living the life she wanted and was free.
