Chapter 303 Shameless Request
Lin Yi frowned. Seeing them carrying large and small bags, he knew that this group of people planned to stay in Nanyu. He waved his hand, sat down on a rock, and lit a cigarette. "Nanxi no longer has any boat people. Shanglin Village has been demolished. We are now living in resettlement housing. I help out in the store during the day, Aqin has to go to work, and Wenjun is busy with business outside.
There are only Yaya and her husband at home. She is here to take care of her baby and needs to rest. She can't entertain you. If you don't mind, come to my place and rest for a while."
Zhu Fugen was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said with a flattering smile: "I don't mind, I don't mind."
In this way, Lin Yi rode the diesel tricycle and took them to the small room of the resettlement house.
All the people living in this resettlement housing are from the village, but they have been separated and their neighbors have all changed. The reason why Lin Yi has a house here is because his old house was demolished, and the government allocated him a temporary residence as required.
There was only a bed, a cabinet and a folding table in the room, which were mainly used for making tea. The bed was just for resting your feet and lying down during a nap. There were very few things in the room, and there was no sign of cooking at all.
Lin Yi also knew this and took the initiative to explain, "I usually eat in the store, occasionally go to Aqin's place to eat, sometimes stay at Aqin's house, sometimes live in the store, occasionally come back to live, I have no fixed place to live."
To Zhu Fugen and his wife, these words meant that Lin Yi was old and was being despised.
Looking at it this way, the two of them were glad to have a son. Although their son didn’t have much ability, he could provide for them in their old age!
Zhu Fugen quickly pulled out his son Zhu Laigui and asked him to call for help.
Zhu Laigui didn't even look at Lin Yi with disdain, and complained, "Dad, didn't you say that my uncle's family has a big villa? This shabby house is not much better than ours. I don't want to stay here!"
Zhu Fugen was so embarrassed that his face turned pale and blue. He glared and slapped his son lightly, "Stop talking nonsense! If you didn't want to study, we wouldn't have to bring you out to work! We've already come to the city, and you're still complaining, thinking you're a rich young master! You're still living in a villa, what a waste!"
Li Lan protected her son distressedly, "Okay, stop talking, he's still young and doesn't understand! Uncle won't bother with him, right?"
Li Lan hurriedly looked at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi acted as if he didn't hear anything and didn't react at all.
The couple felt a little embarrassed and couldn't save themselves.
Zhu Fugen calmed down, glared at Li Lan, and asked her to take her son out. Then he talked to Lin Yi about business. "Uncle, you can see that my kid is very rebellious. He doesn't listen and doesn't like to study. He insists on going west when we tell him to go east. We have no choice but to bring him out. We can't let him play at home all the time!"
Lin Yi looked surprised and asked, "How old are you?"
"Fourteen."
Lin Yi frowned immediately, "Why did you bring him out when he's only fourteen? Which employer would dare to hire him? He's still a child!"
Zhu Fugen frowned immediately, "Uncle, we went to the county town to ask, and it was the same situation. I thought that people in the city here are more knowledgeable, so can't you think of a solution?"
Lin Yiqi laughed, "What are you thinking? We won't do anything illegal! We've already helped you clean up the mess once before, so don't talk about family ties again!"
Zhu Fugen knew that Lin Yi was still upset about what happened back then, and his eyes turned red. "Uncle, we already know that we were wrong about what happened back then. We were indeed not thoughtful enough. Later, Alan gave birth to another child, also a daughter, and we gave her away to someone else to raise."
Lin Yi stared in disbelief, "So how many daughters did you have?"
Zhu Fugen held up four fingers and said, "I have four children. Except for the eldest who stayed at home, the other three were given away. This son is the fifth child and the apple of our eye.
Because he was hard-earned, my parents spoiled him to the utmost, without hitting or scolding him. Alan was also protected like the apple of their eye, and all the good things were given to him since he was a child. As a result, you see, he became too ambitious but incompetent. He was not willing to study, and would refuse to go to school when he was criticized by the teacher for being naughty.
He also said that he would rather go out to work than continue studying. My parents said that he was already 14 years old. If he didn't study, he could work for two years. He would be able to find a partner and get married at the age of 16. We also thought that it was right. He should get married and start a family as soon as possible, and then someone would take care of him.
Lin Yi was stunned and numb, as if he had just met Zhu Fugen for the first time. "Zhu Fugen! Are you crazy or are your parents confused? What era is this?
Even an old man like me knows how important academic qualifications are, don't you know? Oh! If he can't even bear the hardship of studying at such a young age, what else can he do? And! What can your Zhu family do to support the child?
Is it because you have a fortune or a business to inherit? You let your child do whatever he wants when you have nothing. Do you think it's fine for him to work all his life?"
Zhu Fugen was stunned by what he said. A man in his forties still had to keep his dignity, so he immediately retorted, "It's okay to work! People in our village who go out to work make money!"
Lin Yi just felt tired and difficult to communicate. He waved his hands helplessly, "Since you are well, why did you come to me?"
Zhu Fugen pulled a face and snorted angrily, "Uncle, I just think it's a rare trip to the city, I want to come to see you and ask for your help. Since you are not willing to help, we will find a way ourselves. I'm leaving first."
Zhu Fugen dragged his luggage out, glanced at Li Lan and Zhu Laigui, and shouted, "Let's go!"
Li Lan quickly pulled her son forward and asked in a low voice, "What did you say?"
Zhu Fugen curled his lips, "Now they look down on us poor relatives and refuse to help! Let's go, there are still several people in our village working on the project, let's ask them for help, and the whole family will go to the construction site. Remember, when they ask how old your son is, you have to say he is 18."
Li Lan nodded desperately, and pulled her son, repeatedly reminding him, "Remember, listen to your dad, or I'll send you back to school."
Zhu Laigui rolled his eyes impatiently, "Got it!"
Seeing his son’s unhappy face, Zhu Fugen also became angry.
Li Lan couldn't help but complain, "My cousin's family is so well-off, but they didn't even let us in, and didn't even cook a meal for us. How could there be such a relative!"
Zhu Fugen thought about the attitude of Lin Yi and his friends when they came to the city before, and then thought about Lin Yi's attitude this time. He probably guessed the reason and scolded him impatiently, "What are you talking about! Uncle is still trying to bring up the old scores, why don't you say anything?"
When the events of that year were mentioned, Li Lan immediately shut up.
Zhu Laigui curiously asked, "What happened back then? Mom and Dad, did you do something behind my back?"
