Xiang Hongqi avoided talking about his nephew and diligently massaged his wife's shoulders. It can be said that his skills were quite good.
Zhang Jidi felt relieved after being pinched on the shoulder, and his mood improved a little: "Let me explain to you, he has his own parents, don't take on too much responsibility and rush to solve problems for him."
There was already a hint of compromise in her words.
Tell Xiang Hongqi not to take on all the responsibility and rush to solve the problem, but occasionally solve small things in private without letting her know.
Who doesn’t provide any support or help to the brothers and sisters who grew up together in the family?
She also had a fifth sister, Zhang Laidi, who came to ask for help and helped Zhang Mingyu get a job at the methane plant, but ended up getting into a fight and got fired.
Put yourself in their shoes. It is impossible to force Xiang Hongqi to meet his family without knowing them.
Xiang Hongqi knew too well that his wife was a softhearted person, so he quickly said, "Don't worry. He only helped me rent a house today, and he even treated me to a meal. We didn't lose anything."
Add to that the sacks in the corner, and I managed to earn back that little bit of face.
Even without his help in renting a house, Tiezhu and the others would be able to find a satisfactory one by asking two more families. It would just take some time and a few detours.
Zhang Jidi sighed: "It's up to you. If you help out another Xiang Yaoyao, I wonder what you'll do?!"
Her eyes were filled with anger, and her disdain for Xiang Yaoyao was evident.
Xiang Yaoyao is a teacher, and Xiang Liwei is also a teacher. The two have a very high degree of overlap in their professions, except that one teaches in a middle school and the other teaches in an elementary school, which is almost the same.
In addition, both of them came from the old lady's house, so anyone who saw them would be puzzled.
The power of heredity is very strong. The chance of a bad bamboo producing good bamboo shoots is very small. It is more likely that a dragon will give birth to a dragon, a phoenix will give birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son will dig holes.
I don't deny that there is a possibility of things getting better, but this probability is negligible.
Xiang Hongqi's heart began to falter after hearing this, and he spoke with a guilty tone, "No... not really. We won't get close to him. We'll just treat him as a friend."
At least judging from their current attitude, Xiang Tiezhu's family is doing okay.
Zhang Jidi didn't want to say more. She knew that if she belittled Xiang Hongqi's family too much, it would lead to quarrels between the couple. It would be better to let the incident teach her a lesson.
People will never learn anything if they are taught by people, but they will learn it if they are taught once.
Her shoulders felt soothed after being rubbed, and she ruthlessly said, "Whatever you want. Anyway, don't blame me for fighting with those people when the time comes."
When it does not involve the interests of her children, she can barely be a nominal aunt.
If anyone dares to harm the interests of her children, she will make sure they see the power of a tigress.
When it comes to Old Lady Xiang, as a daughter-in-law, she is naturally at a disadvantage and often can only accept her fate in humiliation. But when it comes to Xiang Tiezhu and the others, there are no ethical restrictions and they can just tear each other apart whenever they want.
Xiang Hongqi felt guilty about what Xiang Yaoyao had done, and he dared not say anything.
He also blamed the people in Xiangjia Village for their constant tricks and dragging their feet. Other families were eager to give all kinds of help to their most promising sons, but he was the only one who had constant troubles.
But what can I do with a family like this? I'll have to be more careful next time I'm reborn.
Xiang Hongqi coaxed Zhang Jidi, and everyone continued to live their lives.
The next day, Xiang Tiezhu got up early at the guesthouse and sent his son Xiang Liwei to work at Gangtie Primary School.
The father always felt a burden when facing his son and would not easily reveal his vulnerable side. He pretended to be full of confidence in his son and sent him to the campus.
After his son went in, he looked at his wife Yuan Huimei with concern: "Huimei, do you think he can do it?"
He was worried about his 17-year-old son, who was working alone in the county town.
Yuan Huimei simply couldn't do anything about him, so she pulled him away so as not to block the teachers and students behind from entering and leaving:
"Okay, don't worry about it. I was tossing and turning like a pancake last night. Now that you have some free time, go clean up your son's room. He's staying here tonight."
After hearing this, Xiang Tiezhu finally came to his senses, went to the guesthouse, and took the luggage on the cart to his son's rented house.
The couple worked very efficiently and quickly cleaned the rental house. They also put all the daily necessities in place and made the bed, so the house was ready for people to live in.
During the cleaning process, Xiang Tiezhu also fixed some loose parts to make his son live more comfortably.
While he was busy hammering away, Yuan Huimei didn't forget to show some favors to her neighbors:
"These are plums from the mountain behind our house. I picked them myself. They're not very valuable. I'm sharing them with everyone to try. Please take care of my disappointing son."
She enthusiastically distributed a little to each of her neighbors. Most of the plums were bright red, with a few occasionally showing some green, looking plump and delicious.
The neighbors are not fools, and they all praised him: "Oh, you are so polite."
"That's right, Xiang's wife, why are you being so polite? Your son even passed the teacher exam. He's a rare genius. How can he be so unpromising? If my son was so unpromising, I'd wake up laughing!"
Most of them have retired because their children have taken over their jobs, and they stay at home to do some manual work to supplement the family income and chat about family matters.
