Chapter 116 Relatives Visit
Aunt said, "Your living conditions are quite good."
Lin's mother said nothing, feeling very conflicted. To be honest, Lin Yi has not benefited from his sister and brother-in-law. But it seems that the livelihood of her nephew cannot be ignored. When her father and mother died, they told her and her sister to take care of her brother's family in the future.
However, after returning from the countryside, Yan became very independent. She no longer accepts her manipulation. Well, this is beyond her ability and she can't make the decision.
Lin Yan nodded, "Yes, I am also very satisfied. Nowadays, many families have several generations living together in such a large space."
Then she went out and sat down, and Lin Yan continued to sit down to wash the bedding and sheets. It's time to catch the sun! This time, she poured the washing powder and put the washboard to rub hard. Just waiting for her aunt to speak and explain the purpose of her visit.
Lin's mother said, "Where is Yanyan?" "
Playing next door. Yanyan--"
She shouted loudly. Yanyan's head quickly appeared between the two doors of the half-moon gate, "Mom, why are you calling me?"
Lin's mother said, "Yanyan, grandma is here."
"Oh, I'll be back soon." She said goodbye to her little sister and then went back around.
Lin's mother taught her to call "aunt" and "cousin".
Lin Yan's aunt said, "Come, eat the egg cake, which aunt bought for you."
"Thank you, aunt. I just had breakfast not long ago, I'll eat later." Yanyan said and stood next to her grandmother's legs. Egg cake is not a rare thing for her now.
Seeing that her elder sister-in-law didn't talk to her, the aunt said to Lin Yan, "Ayan, you are the most capable in this family. Now you have been admitted to university and you are also doing business. Your cousin graduated from high school, isn't it hard to find a job now? Otherwise, let him help you?"
Now the study is 5+2+2, five years of primary school, two years of junior high school and two years of high school. So although Zhu Qiming is only eighteen years old, it is the third time he has taken the college entrance examination. He was a fresh graduate in the year 1977 when the college entrance examination was resumed. Unfortunately, he failed three times.
Lin Yan said, "Aunt, you don't even know what our new business is. How do you know that your cousin can do it?"
Aunt said, "Yes, ask your elder sister, she also said that you are secretive. It will open tomorrow, so you can't keep it a secret, right?"
"No, no. Mingche and I are opening a waste collection station this time. Cousin, are you coming?" Lin Yan asked Zhu Qiming.
Zhu Qiming, the only son in three generations, was spoiled since childhood. And because of his young age, he missed the opportunity to go to the countryside. When he heard that his cousin's family opened a waste collection station, he blurted out, "Dealing with those garbage collectors?"
"Yes, not only do you have to buy the garbage they pick up, but you also have to clean it up yourself."
Zhu Qiming immediately looked embarrassed. He was too lazy to even sweep the floor at home, so he was asked to clean up the garbage he collected? He immediately said, "Mom, I don't do this."
Aunt's smile also collapsed. I heard from my second aunt that the flowers were very good, and they had also set up a stall in Tiananmen Square before. She thought their new business was also impressive.
But she still said, "Ayan, your cousin is at least a high school student. Can't he be given an office position?"
Lin Yan made a three gesture, "There are only three people in total. One rides a tricycle to go through the streets and collect waste door to door. One is responsible for going out to deliver goods. The other stays at the waste station to collect and clean up the waste. There are no extra positions! We are still in debt and cannot afford to support idle people. There are no office positions. Oh no, there is no office."
Aunt said, "Then you, as a sister, don't care?"
Lin Yan said, "I am a clay Buddha crossing the river, I can't save myself. How can I care? I don't even care about Lin Yi. How about you, aunt, lend me 2,000 first so that I can pay off the debt?"
Aunt turned to Lin's mother: "Big sister, what do you say?"
Lin's mother said: "A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. I can't control her anymore."
She herself was forced by her father's and mother's orders to let her brothers suck her blood. It can't be passed down from generation to generation, and let them suck their daughter's blood.
Aunt left with her son in a huff!
Humph, it was a waste of her money to buy egg cakes. She was still cursing until she walked out of the door.
Lin Yan said enthusiastically: "Aunt, cousin, have lunch before leaving——"
She was enthusiastic, but she sat steadily and washed the sheets as usual, without getting up to keep the guests. You can't let the neighbors hear that she is not enthusiastic about relatives and make them angry and leave.
In fact, she didn't like her uncle's family very much since she was a child. The family is at ease and never gets enough of taking advantage!
Her mother asked her to promise to send her food coupons and the like every month before she went to the countryside. One month, she didn't send it, and Lin Yan guessed that her mother was cheated by her uncle and aunt again. So she wrote a letter to her father, and the next month she was connected again.
If she thought that the family situation was not good, she didn't say anything. Maybe her share of the "subsidy for going to the countryside" was taken away by her uncle's family. Her father was perfectly deceived.
Yanyan was surprised. Why is this aunt laughing and angry at the same time? She changes her face at any time.
Mother Lin said: "Since you can't do anything, then let it be."
Lin Yan smiled and said: "Mom, you seem to have changed. When you were a child, you always secretly took the money at home to subsidize your uncle's family."
It's not that the uncle's family can't make ends meet, they just like to take advantage. Everything from grandma and grandpa was left to him.
This time, he probably went to find his aunt, and then his aunt made the situation of her niece very good. Pushing the matter here!
She is not afraid of offending people. It's better not to have contact with such relatives in the future. I guess when my aunt goes back, she will still have to find my aunt. Whatever you want!
Mother Lin said, "Didn't your grandma and grandpa hold my hand and tell me that I was the eldest sister before they left? Some time ago, your dad took all the money in the family into his hands. I definitely don't have money to support them. Besides, Lin Yi hasn't benefited from your business yet."
No matter how close a nephew is, can he be closer than one's own son? Moreover, although sons are closer than daughters, daughters are born by themselves after all, and are closer to them than nephews from their own side. Besides, her younger brother and sister-in-law can't get any benefits from her, so their faces changed immediately. She was also very disappointed!
After Lin's mother finished talking about this, she hurriedly asked, "Are you and Mingche really going to open a scrap yard?"
"Yes, it will open tomorrow. Am I lying? I didn't make it up just to refuse to accept my cousin."
"No, why don't you do something else? Why do you have to collect scrap?"
Lin Yan said, "You had the same attitude when you opened the big bowl tea stall before. What's wrong with recycling scrap? And the three educated youth who returned to the city were hired to do the work."
"Then, isn't that exploitation?" Lin's mother's face changed. The concept of 'employment is exploitation' is still deeply rooted in people's minds.
Lin Yan said, "It's definitely not. Could it be that my aunt brought Qiming here so that we can exploit him?"
"He's different. He just wants to get a salary."
