Chapter 573: Severance of Diplomatic Relations
There was a movement inside immediately:
"Who is it?"
Brother He came out wearing a dusty blue jacket and wood shavings on his head.
Seeing that the person coming was Fu Jingyou, Brother He was stunned for a moment and said:
"And I startled you back."
Fu Jingyou's eyebrows were slightly cold, and he didn't say anything.
The young man called out "Master" in confusion, and Brother He waved his hand:
"My brothers are here. The courtyard asked them to keep a close eye on things. I'll be back soon."
"good."
Brother He and Fu Jingyou walked one after the other to the nearest state-owned restaurant.
It was just after dinner time.
Brother He probably hadn't eaten yet, so he spent two dollars and ordered several dishes.
The two of them sat down, and Fu Jingyou watched him eat.
Brother He raised his chopsticks and greeted:
"You should eat too. How can I finish all the food you ordered?"
"I've eaten, you can take your time."
Fu Jingyou said calmly, summed up the wording, and then said:
"You should know why I came."
Brother He nodded: "I came here to question you."
Fu Jingyou frowned, "What's the matter with you? Are you here to question me?"
"That's not enough?"
There were already a lot of things that had not been dealt with, and Fu Jingyou immediately became a little noisy, and said in a bad tone:
"It's always other people's faults. Don't you have any problems at all? If you do well, who would come to ask questions? Are you afraid of others asking questions?"
"I have my own difficulties!"
"What's your problem? Are your uncle and aunt going to support you now?"
Brother He's face looked a little pale, and he was chewing the food much slower.
After being scolded by Fu Jingyou, Brother He suppressed his temper and said:
"You can go back after the training. I'll go back and see you when I'm free in the next two days."
"You don't need to look at it, just take the money."
His wife Zhao Lanxiang made him so angry that he suffered a stroke and became paralyzed on one side.
If he went, it would probably only make the old man angry.
Looking back is a sign of partiality, which can lead to hemiplegia and cause more losses.
"I took fifty, and my second sister-in-law went back a while ago and gave her twenty. My second brother paid for some of the hospital expenses and meals these days. We each took fifty first, and the remaining amount will be refunded and the remaining amount will be supplemented."
"What's the golden disease?"
Brother He was shocked and said angrily:
"One hundred and fifty for a consultation? You're trying to trick me!"
"We said we would refund more and make up less."
This fee is only for medical consultations. Aren’t meals free?
Then again, Brother He is the eldest son.
He doesn't even participate in the bedside care. The patient's illness is caused by his family. So what's wrong with a little more time?
Brother He was being watched closely by Zhao Lanxiang, so he definitely couldn't come up with the fifty yuan:
"I don't have any money..."
"You've already started taking on an apprentice, and your monthly salary is at least 45 yuan. How come you're out of money?"
Fu Jingyou also worked in the county for a year, and he was very familiar with the salary level in the county.
"Think it over carefully. The person lying in the hospital right now is your own father. If you don't do anything about it, it will have a bad impact if word gets out."
This is a matter of work style.
Now that his superiors know about this, it’s unclear whether he can keep his job as a carpenter.
Fu Jingyou admitted that his words contained a threatening tone.
But he had to get the money today.
He has the obligation to support He Hongjin, and so does Brother He.
Sure enough, when he mentioned this, Brother He was silent for a moment, and said with difficulty:
"I...I really don't have any money. My mother is in charge of everything."
It seemed that it would be a bit unreasonable not to take anything, so Brother He said:
"Wait for me for a moment, I'll go back and get some."
After saying that, Brother He went downstairs without even having time to eat.
Fu Jingyou held his vital point and was not afraid that he would run away, so he just waited there.
Brother He came back soon.
Fu Jingyou took his scattered bills and counted them. Twenty.
Brother He rubbed the back of his head:
“…I borrowed it from a coworker.”
Fu Jingyou knew that he couldn't come up with anything more, so he snorted mockingly:
"It's really pathetic to live like this."
Brother He pursed his lips, glanced at Fu Jingyou, and said:
"Aren't you no better than me?"
Fu Jingyou knew what Brother He was referring to.
His clothes were shabby and he had only worn them for two days before he came back.
After getting on the train, he kept wearing it and didn't trim his hair or shave. Now he does look a bit dirty.
But so what?
"At least I haven't forgotten my roots. I can get the money back from my wife, I can take care of our family, and I won't forget the kindness of my uncle in raising me. What about you? You don't want me anymore just because your wife gave birth to a son? Are there any people like you?"
Brother He turned his head and said stubbornly:
“They understand me!”
Can you understand?
Can you understand why people are lying in the hospital now?
Fu Jingyou shook his head. "Whether you understand or not, you know it best in your heart. If you still have a conscience and a bit of manliness, then hold up the roof of your family!"
Fu Jingyou took a breath and continued:
"If you continue like this, with Zhao Lanxiang's personality, you don't even care about your own father, so how can she teach her son to care for his father?"
In order to prevent things from coming true, Brother He immediately became alert.
But he didn't rush back to correct his wife and son and set rules. Instead, he glared at Fu Jingyou angrily:
"Xiao Liu, you passed the exam and got into a big city. People all over the place are praising your abilities. I've already given you enough face!"
"You can get to where you are today because our He family provides you with food. Now that my father is in trouble, and you are willing to take care of him, I will thank you for your kindness."
"I was wrong about this. You can scold me and blame me, I admit it, but you don't have to curse me!"
Brother He's eyes turned red with anger.
Fu Jingyou looked at Brother He with a strange expression.
How could he be cursing him?
At best, it was to warn him.
Fu Jingyou didn't understand why he, who used to be a cheerful and honest person, had become so extreme now.
But never mind, Brother He obviously won’t listen to anything else.
Fu Jingyou himself was also busy with a lot of things and had no time to help others settle family disputes.
"We've been brothers since we were little, and our twenty-year friendship ends here today. From now on, your family's prosperity has nothing to do with me, and my family's decline doesn't require you to worry about it."
We had quarrels and fights in the past, but with a year or two of buffer time, we can now move on from this.
But this incident once again made Fu Jingyou see clearly the background of Brother He.
The real severance of diplomatic ties, the cessation of all contact until death, begins from this moment on.
Completely cut off.
Fu Jingyou took out three dollars and placed them on the table, leaving them for him to pay for his meal.
Then turned and left.
Brother He's Adam's apple bulged, he wiped his face and slowly sat down at the table.
He picked up the bowl and chopsticks with a lifeless and dull look on his face and continued eating.
Brother He had mixed feelings, but he always felt that Fu Xiaoliu was lucky because he had a pair of children in his first pregnancy.
So it's natural that I wouldn't understand him.
But he never thought that sons or daughters were never the subjective reasons that affected family harmony.
It has to do with people.
Zhao Lanxiang is the biggest reason.
Brother He’s own ideas also have some problems, but that’s secondary.
